STAR SHOE STORE, HUGH MALLOY, PROF., Centre and Walnut Streets. MADE CHANGES IN THE BOOKS Foster Board Improves the List of Studies. Township Directors Take Important Action at a Special Meeting on Sat urday Evening. All members of Foster township school board, except Director Zoistloft, were present Saturday evening at a special meeting of that body. Messrs. Devon, representing Butler, Sheldon & Co., and It. J. Dover, repre senting Ginn & Co., were also present. The list of books required were placed on the board and those for which con tracts had expired were: Readers —Ist, 2d and 3d. Physiology—Three series. Geography—Primary. The board adopted the Progressive Course of Reading, by Butler, Sheldon <& Co., In place of Ward's Rational Method, by the votes of Messrs. Doudt, O'Nell, Mellugh and Johnson, Keller voting no. The.book company agreed to allow 30 per cent for all old books returned. It was unanimously agreed that the above firm bo allowed to substitute Petterson's elementary and advanced grammar in place of Sheldon's, now in use. Glnn A Co. were awarded the contract to furnish physiologies and geographies by the votes of all present. It was decided to purchase at presont two-thirds of the quantity needed. The secretary was ordered to invite Elliot A. Oberrender, of Drifton, to be present at the next regular meeting, he having written letters to directors who did not know what was meant by them. J. J. Mcßrearty, Esq., was presont and received permission to speak on the matter of the selection of a solicitor, lie stated that there were three forms of government: Legislative, executive and judicial, and that, although the law quoted by Mr. O'Donnell at the last meeting of the board was correct, it was not final. He told of a decision of the supreme court given on July 7, 1870, iu the case of a contest for county superin tendent. The body of directors consist ed of 112. One candidate received 55 votes and another 50, one member re fusing to vote. The decision was that there had been no election, as the per son receiving tlio 50 votes did not have a majority of the body. He likened the action of the board to a case where a person was convicted of a crime without a trial. He stated that ho did not come before the board to cause trouble or anything of that kind, but merely to set the matter right, that in the face of the decision lie bad just read from the supreme court, Mr. O'Donnell was not legally elected previous to the last meet ing. as contended. Further, that it re quires four votes to elect, as Doudt being present and refusing to vote, was still a part of the quorum. Saturday Evening's Bouts. "Kid" Ferry, of Allentown, and Charles Mulhall, of Summit Hill, met Saturday evening at the opera house and put one of the 11 vilest bouts ever witnessed iu the region. The contest was booked to continue twenty rounds, but it came to an end at the closing of the third round, with Ferry declared the victor on the ground that one of Mulhall's seconds iiad entered the ring during the round. The decision of the referee gave the purse of $325, which was offered by the Sterling Athletic Club, to Ferry, and all wagers on the result went the same way. Ferry was looked after by Messrs. Gallagher, Clancy and Sheehan; while Messrs. Cannon, Howard, Sweeney and Schwartz took care of Mulhall. Messrs. i Hresliu and Boyle were timekeepers, Patrick Burke acted as referee and Wilty Dougherty as announcer. When the first round opened botli men went at each other fast and furious ly. Ferry fared badly under the punish ment given him by Mulhall. Iu the second round Ferry came up as fresh as when be started and both men mixed up in terrific style. At the end of the round honors were about even. As the third round commenced Mul hall made a rush, while tho "Kid" duck ed, catching the former on his shoulder. Ferry raised himself up, thereby per- M I.SCKLLA NEOUS ADVKKTIBKMENTS. SALE. -Single six-room dwelling house _F on Went Walnut street, property of Thos. E.

Shortly after Ferry landed one or two blows on the jaw and Mulhall slipped and fell. The referee began counting and when he readied "nine" Mulhall was up but not before one of his seconds had gone to his assistance. The decision of the referee was that Ferry was the winner on a foul. Previous to the above a preliminary bout between Hugh McDyer and Dick Jacquot went two rounds, when the former landed a knockout. Jacquot was placed In charge of two physicians, who restored him to consciousness. Ho is recovering at the home of his brother on North Washington street. Elwood McCloskey, of Philadelphia, was introduced and challenged Mulhall for another bout (they having met be fore) for any amount of money. The challenge has since been accepted and the men will box twenty-five rounds at Shaniokin next month. The heavy downpour of rain {which continued Saturday afternoon and even ing interfered greatly with the attend ance. The upper portions of the house were crowded, but the auditorium was not well patronized and the receipts do not warrant the club in bringing these high-priced boxors to town. All the prominent boxers and pugil ists of the northeastorn end of the state wore present. Lehigh, Carbon, Schuylkill and Columbia counties were also well represented. Death of Prominent Pole. Joseph C. Schwartz, one of the most prominent Polish citizens in this county, died on Friday, aged 54 years.

The funeral took place at Wllkos barre this morning. • Bell Case Goes to Court. James Bell, of town, was arraigned Friday evening before Alderman Heid enreich, of liazleton, on the charge of intimidating workmen at Drifton shops. The prosecutor in the case was E. A. Oberrender. He stated that the young man did some yelling in the town of Drifton at the men who worked while other men wore on strike. The follow ing persons testified against him: Max Scuddcr, Scott Young, Fierce Johnson. W. It. Fryo and (). D. Fowler. Tlio alderman found the accused guilty as charged and fined him $5 and costs of prosecution. Attorney J. M. Carr, for the young man, took out an appeal and now the case will go to court. The company was represented by Attor uoy Abner Smith. Tramps Rule a Town. Tramps terrorized the village of Mid vale, near Wilkesbarre, Saturday after noon while most of the men were at work, boldly entering houses and tak ing what eatables they wanted, in many cases becoming very impudent to the women. They also held up a couple of men and robbod them. When the husband and the sons return ed from work they armed themselves and searchid the woods for the tramps. A number were caught and were drag ged into town and taken beforo the fright ened women for identification. If they were recognized they were hooted out of town, and all were told that if they were seen about there again they would never leave except in an undertaker's wagon.

The parade was followed by a picnic. Mr. Mitchell delivered an address, lie told the spectators that the United Miuo Workers' organization was stronger now than it had ever been and t#at it was rapidly becoming perfect. He de nounced the coal companies which tried to prevent tho examination of union cards, and said that they were showing an unwarranted and unnecessary oppo sition to the miners' union. Mr. Mitchell laid stress upon tho fact that all employes around a mine, whether they are engineers, firemen, blacksmiths, teamsters or carpenters, should belong to tho United Mine Work ers, as it is the most powerful organiza tion, and reforms may readily be gained if all the men act in concert and under one directing head.
