At the end of the fifth ballot, there being no change In the vote, balloting was suspended to dispose of other busi ness which required attention. The officers of the board reported that Gabrlo Miller was willing to sell a plot of ground on South Washington street, ■*75x130 feet, as a site for a new school building, for $2,000. President Slattery, Secretary Purcell and Mr. Kline were Instructed to purchaso the ground on behalf of the board—to pay 830 down, 8450 on October 1 next and give a first mortgage for the balance. Tin) site is on the west side of Wash ington street, between South and Luz erne streets, and contains the building at one time used as a station for the first eloctrlc light company which oper ated in town.

Bean the 1,18 Kind You Have Always Boueht FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1901. Williams, C; Hanlon, 5; McCole, 1. On the fortieth ballot Brogan changed from McCole to William*, which, with McCole and Timony voting as on the previous ballot and the votes of the four Republican members, gave Mr. Williams seven votes to five for Mr. Hanlon. A motion to elect Mr. Williams for three years at a salary at S9OO per year was made by Directors Kline and Isaacs. The question of the eligibility of Mr. Williams to bo elected for mors than one year was raised and brought about a lengthy discussion. It was contended that, Inasmuch as the board had no offi cial proof of the grade of certificate held by the successful applicant, the directors had no authority to proceed according to the motion made. His election for more than one year was also objected to on the ground that It is a question whether or not he can satisfactorily and acceptably meet the conditions that exist here. A certificate of graduation from the Keystone academy was presented on be half of Mr. Williams, but as this failed to meet the requirements and did not give the information which directors must officially possess, the opposi tion to the move to ride rough-shod over the law was continued. An amendment to elect for ono year, instead of throe years, was made to the motion by Buckley and Kelly. This amendment was amended by Sholhamer and Klino to olect for two years. The latter amendment was lost, 8011, Isaacs, Kline, McColo, Sholhamer and Timony voting for It, and Brogan, Buckley, Kelly, McGooban, Purcell and Slattery opposing it. The one-year amendment and the original motion were also lost, the mem bers dividing as before. A motion to adjourn received the votes of all the members. Yesterday's Weddings.

The following Is from the Philadelphia Ledger: "A new railway Is now in process of construction between Ilazleton and Wilkesharre. The statement has been made, and the belief is generally held in those cities, that the Pennsylvania Rail road has an interest in this project. The reason for such an interest would ho the fact that tho new line would be more than one-half shorter than the route now traversed by Pennsylvania train* between the two points mentioned. "The Pennsylvania is seeking business with more activity than heretofore in the coal fields. Recently it put-on four fast express trains, two each way, be tween Philadelphia and Wllkesbarre. But the distance by its present route is considerably greater than that of the Reading and tho Lehigh Valley. Its fast trains mako Ilazleton in less time than the fastest Lehigh Valley train; but, after leaving Ilazleton, the Penn sylvania makes a wide detour over the Philadelphia and Erie tracks, byway of Rock Glen and Nescopeck .1 unction, in order to get to Wllkesbarre. "The route surveyed for the new rail way between Wilkesharre and Ilazleton is twenty-four inilas long, twenty-eight miles shorter than the Pennsylvania round about way. Tho cutting off of twenty-eight miles In tho distance be tween Ilazleton and Wllkesbarre will enable the reduction of timo between these points by nearly an hour, and the Pennsylvania's fast trains could, there fore, make tho latter city In about tho same time as tho Lehigh Valley. "There is another road building be tween Scran ton and Wilkesbarro, which is supposed to be a continuation of tho Pennsylvania route." Tho Philadelphia Times has the fol lowing on the Gould projoct to onter Philadelphia: "Railroad circles are agitated over a report that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Is at last to have an entrance into Philadelphia. It was said that agents of the company have been working quietly for several months aleng the linos of a previous survey, and have succeeded in securing nearly all the necessary rights of way. In addition, it la reported a wharf on tho Delaware river has been securnd. "The nearest point on the Lacka wanna linos to Philadelphia at present Is Phllllpsburg, N. J., about soventv live miles from this city. Several routes from that point to Philadelphia have been talked of and surveyed. One of them contemplates running down the Dolaware river from Phllllpsburg on the New Jersey side to Camden. Auotlier route ha 9 been mapped out crossing tho river at Phllllpsburg to Easton, running through Bucks and Montgomery coun ties to Philadelphia and connecting with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Rail road."' Colored Mine Foreman. The fir9t colored man to hold tho posi tion of mine superintendent in the authracitc reglou was appointed to tho position yesterday. Isaac Gould has worked at the mines of tho Pennsyl vania Coal Company for many years and some months ago was made assist ant foreman. Tho foreman at No. 10 shaft, at Pittaton, resigned and Gould was named to fill the position. The announcement created consider able surprise among the minors. There is a question whether or not the men will take kindly to the innovation. Fully 400 are employed at that mine and all are white with the exception of tho new foreman. Base Ball Game.
