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-

mitting Mulhall to fall headforemost on
the mat. The fall stunned Mulhall for
a short interval. 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.

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

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.

John Mitchell at Plymouth.
The United Mine Workers held a big

Saturday and President John Mitchell
was given an enthusiastic reception.
All the stores in tho town were closed,
and every colliery was idle. Houses
were gayly decorated for tho occasion
and 3,000 miners and several display
lloats were in the procession.
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.
