Mr. sYPHAX OBJECTS TO THE PROCEEDINGS.
After the adjournment MIR. Syphax came in,
| saying that he understood the hour set for the
meeting to be O'Clock, and requested the pro-
ceedlngs OF the evening to be read, when he
dissented from the action taken in reference TO
| the appointments of the teachers for the ensu-
ing year, as on the LIST of July a new trustee
| would be appointed, the term of Mr. Jones
| expiring on that date, and said they were forcing
list of teachers on the new board, which ii
persisted in by them, would most assuredly be
the means of dismissing every one of them when
the new board was organized. He cited the
action OF the last board, who had attempted the
| same thing just before Mr.. Hall left the board
A new set of teachers were appointed i'm this
same manner, with the perfect unanimity
came into the board he objected to the
action, declaring that he would not be bound
by the action of the old Board, and a new set of
| teachers were selected to suit his views. Now
he seeks to force the same rule which he so
strenuously opposed. He (Mr. ST. now proposed
to adhere to the rule Mr.. King established and
clared that every teacher should be dismissed
after the organization of the new Board; that
Mr.. Jones had no right to say who should be
the teachers for the next year.
Mr.. Jones suggested that Mr.. Syphax enter
his vote, II he desired to, in opposition to their
action, which was done, and the meeting again
adjourned.
THE FINANCE CoMMITTEE.-This Committee
is still in session at the City Hail. but their time

| whatever kind, should present them for record.
There are several parties, including the Gas
Light Company, Police, Fire Department, &c,
| who have not filed their claims. This morning
| Mr.. A. f. Newton, bOOkkeeper, turned i'm a

SELLING WHISKY. TO SCHOOL CHILDREN
Eugene Sullivan, aged IA years, and Nicholas
for being drunk on the streets These were two
school boys, who were on their way to school,

went into grocery store on It'll street, and

vided 1t, both drinking their quota. Curtis,
when picked up by officer Blush, was utterly
helpless, and had to be carried to the station

whisky-what should be done with him?
