Monday evening's spneial meeting of the borough school board was attended by Directors Hell, Hrogan, Hockley, Isaac, McCole, McGeehan, Timony and Slattery. Principal J. E. Williams gave a brief outliue of the plans prepared for the graduating exercises and introduced John Sippie, president of the class, who explained at length the requests of the graduates. The class asked the board for the privilege of obtaining a speaker for the occasion; also that the rent of the opera house, cost of printing, music, etc., be provided for. The principal's estimate of the expense was that it would not exceed S4O, which sum could likely be secured by charging a small admission fee. The board appioved the suggestions of the principal and the requests of the class, and agreed that if any deficiency exists after paying the necessary ex penses the amount will be made good by the board. The date of fcho graduating exercises will be between May 7 and May 10. The priucipal reported that four teachers had arranged to conduct pay school, as follows: Misses Rogan, Lind say and Winter, In the Daniel Coxe building, and Mr. Farrar, at East South Heberton. The question of providing heat and the janitor for the Daniel Coxe school wa discussed at length. Hell moved to procure two loads of coal for the pur pose, but as Mr. Farrar has arranged to cca^/rnsrca-. Lowrey Bros.

Mr. Williams asked for a partial leave of absence until June 1, with the under standing that ho shall return at the call of the president or secretary, when his services are needed by tbo board. McGeehan asked if the pay of the principal was to continue during his absence, and the question brought out the fact that the principal had not. signed the contract presented to him at the opening of the term. The principal stated that he had asked for a modifica tion of the contract, but no action had been taken by the board. Tlmony expressed himself in favor of continuing the High school another month, to give those pupils who were unable, by reason of the short term, an opportunity to finish th's year's course. Buckley favored the suggestion on the ground that another month's teaching would fit the High school first and second-year pupils for advancement to the courses which they aro expected to study next term. As it is, these pupils are not advanced sufficiently to stand promotion. Isaac opposed the reopening of the High school, as it would necessitate the buying of coal and the employment of the janitor another month. Hell also opposed the proposition, and Mr. Wil liams stated that he could not teach the pupils of tiie High school without assist ance. The janitor question was then taken up again and a motion by Isaac to con tinue his services until the end of his mouth and that the priocipal speak to the teachers about purchasing coal was carried without dissent. A motion granting the principal leave of absence, subject to the call of the board, was passed unanimously. Bishop Asks for Proof. Hishop Hoban, of Scranton, takes ex ception to some things which Rev. I)r. James McLeod, of that city, expressed in a sermon Sunday night at the First Presbyterian church on the "Jesuits." In his sermon Dr. McLeod said: "Whatevor be the doctrines of the Jesuits of today, there can be no doubt that in the sixteenth century and much later they adopted and defended the proposition that the end justifies the means." To this Hishop Ilobau says: "I doubt it, and hereby offer SIOO to the Home for the Friendless if the reverend doctor will kindly furnish mo with the proofs that any reputable Jesuit ever taught that 'the end justifies the means'— meaning thereby that we may adopt unlawful and unjust means to an end, however good It may be, or that we may do eyil that good may come." Dr. McLeod's answer to the bishop's challenge has not yet been made, but Scranton people aro anticipating an in teresting discussion on this subject. A. 0. H. Banquet. The members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, of Freeland, accompanied by their wives and lady friends, will banquet tomorrow evening at the Os borne hotel.

The affair promises to be tho most auspicious over held by by the A.(). 11. in this end of the county After the banquet a dance will take place at Krell's hall, to bo participated in by the members and lady friends of the two divisions of tho order in Free land. Dog Poisoners About. The number of dogs which have lately died and were found to have been the victims of poison has alarmed the owners of good dogs, and many of the canines of town aro now confined to their kennels and are no longer per mitted to roam at large. Dr S. S. Hess and Attorney Goo. T. Hrown lost valuable dogs recently, an I yesterday a large Newfoundland dog owned by W. J. Morgan was pdsoied and died a few hours later. W. 11. Van- Horn, of North Centre street, found his fine hunting dog suffering from poison yesterday morning and tho animal suc cumbed in a short while. Their Claims Vindicated. One of the arguments of the miners, in demanding another increase in wages, is that the cost of living has been so heavily increased since their 10 per cent advance in October, 1900, that the bene fits then derived have disappeared. Tho tocent increases by the trusts in tho price of meat, buttor and other necessi ties is considered by the miners as full vindication of tholr claims. ROUND THE REGION. The application for permission to or ganize the Miners' National bank, of Nantlcoke, has been approved by the treasury department. The bank will be capitalized at SIOO,OOO. Among the principal stockholders are Thomas E. Hyde and Edward H. Tustln, Blooms burg; E. S. Millard, Kingston; Morgan J. Kees, and Hrinton Jackson, Nantl coke, and others. The shares of the new bank will be SIOO with a paid in sur plus of SSO per share. This will give the institution a working capital of SIOO,OOO and a surplus of $50,000 to be gin business with. Because her parents rebuked her for keeping late hours and attending dances, fifteen-year-old Mary Hall, of Mahanoy City, drank, a quantity of carbolic acid with suicidal intent. At a late hour last night she was still alive, but her condition is such that little hope is entertained for her recovery. Before swallowing the pulsion the girl wrote a note inviting her Sunday school class of the Primitive Methodist church to bo present at her funeral. John J. Kicrnan, of Scranton, a mem ber of tho Thirteenth regiment, con tracted typhoid fever at Camp Alger In the South during the Spanish American war and since then his mind has been unbalanced. Word has been received in Scranton that he just been allowed the pension limit, $75 a month. He is of brother of Fathor Kiernan, of St. Dominic's church at Parsons, and has a wife aud child. Samuel Kellar, who was discharged from jail a few days ago, after the grand jury had ignored the bill charg ing him with the murder of James Lar kin, was before Mayor Price, of Wilkes barre, yesterday for drunkenness. He was severely lectured and fined. Scranton journeymen tailors entered upon a strike last night to secure a uniform rale of wages. There is now a difference of 25 per cent in the wages paid by different tailors for the same work. Some of tho master tailors are willing to sign the scale.

Charged with the murder of Stanley | Moleskl, in Wilkesbarre, Joseph Macbu tis was brought from Illinois to that city i yesterday. Tracing Rev. Bennett. Those who are investigating the dis appearance of Rev. A. P. Bennett, of Lansford, at Harrisburg on March 19, have learned that he crossed the Sus quehanna bridge at Harrisburg on that night, as he was seen at the Cumber land Valley station at Bridgeport. The station agent is positive he saw Mr. Bennett. He does not remember, how ever, whether Mr. Bennett purchased a ticket. The suicide theory has now been abandoned. It has been learned that he removed his clerical coat and donned a sackcoat. His money and watch he took with him. The authorities are working on two clues. He is either in the South or West, and It is expected that the mys tery will soon be cleared up. The sui cide theory was never accepted by the authorities, who claim that if the man contemplated it he would not have tak en with him the S2OO owed to the church and conference. The situation In the Bennett house hole, at Lansford, is a very pathetic one. The four children, the oldest be ing 7 years, cry almost nightly for their father, while the wife is heartbroken under the strain. Should he return it is claimed there will be no prosecution on account of the shortage, as Mrs. J. T. Bennett, of Jer sey City, mother of the missing man, will make good tho deficiency. Jersey Fire Is Spreading. Because the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company refused to consid er the grievances of its striking em ployes the seventy-five men who have been fighting the fire in the Jersey mine of that company have joined the strikers of the Pettibone, Woodward and Avon dale collieries and doserted the blazing mine. The other men had been on strike eight weeks. The fire is now spreading, as tho company is unable to get men to work at it. For the past year it has been a doubtful question when it would break beyond the present limits, and only by the most skillful work have the lire fighters been able to keep it confined to a certain area. Most of the engineers and tho pump men at the Avondalo colliery went out yesterday iu sympathy with the strikers and several at the Woodward and the Pettibone. Tho company has not yet been able to fill their places, and if it cannot the mines may be badly dam aged Wy the gathering of water and gas.
