The Board Of Education met last ev-
ening In annual session for the purpose
Of fixing the appointments Of the teach
srs Of the schools.
Mr.. Morrow, chairman of the com
mittee on teachers, asked that the mat
ter be laid over for one week in order
to have the reports from all the schools.
DR.. Grimshsw objected on the ground
that as that especial evening had been
set apart for this business he would fa-
vOr its being brought up.
A vote was taken upon the matter
which resulted in the adoption OF Mr..
Morrow's motion.
The same committee reported that
the days for an examination Of candi-
dates for teachers had been fixed for the
26th and 27:h Of the month. The report
was adopted.
The question Of repairing the black
boards OF the. school being brought up a
considerable rambling discussion took
place. Mr.. Heisler in order to make q
test case moved that the committee OF
No. 10 bs authorized to procure 900
square feot of black board made by the
Roberts process, the cost not to exceed
ten cents per foot.
As usual more discussion followed.
D. O'C. Kenney opposed procuring the
material out Of the city, saying that
tho Board had no right to expend six
or seven hundred dollars Of tho tax
payers money to outside parties when
men in our own city could do the work
as we'll and do it cheaper: As Mr.. Jas.
Bradford had always heretofore given
satisfaction he could not see why the
repairing of the black boards should not
be given to him.
Mr.. Heisler.-Mr. Bradford did not
give satisfaction, as the state Of the
black boards in some of our schools pre-
pared by him fully shows-the compost
tion having begun to peel off.
The COMMITTEES of No. 7 asked per-
mission to have 800 square feet OF Rob
erts composition placed on the boards
at cost not to exceed $50.
The report Of tho Committee making
appointments for the several schools
for next school year was adopted, and
the Secretary was instructed to notify
the teachers Of the facts.
The motion prevailed. The commit
tee Of No. IL then asked for thirty five
square yards.
Mr.. Conrad of No. l stated that 1872
square yards were needed at his school
and he was undecided as to what pre-
paration to use. Danforth's composition
had been put on but failed to give sat
isfaction. He in order 10 test the
qualities of the two composites moved
that the committee of No. l be author
lied to have two class rooms furnished
with black boarding one of Danforth's
material and the other of Roberts so
that qualities of each may be learned.
There being only one bidder for glaz.
ing and that bid being from James
Bradford, the work of glazing for the
year was awarded to him.

INCREASE OF WAGES.
The IrOn works Of kensfngsos
Pholsaelphia ubiIant.


The Philadelphia Times," Of this
mol ming says:
A marked feeling Of pleasure psrvad-
cd the Ksnsington iron mills yesterday
and more men were working at the
furnaces than have beeu for many
days. The reason for this was that a
new schedule Of wages went into opera
tiou which adds snug sum to every
iron workers wages.
Moreover tho men did not have to
strike for the increase, as they gener-
ally are compelled to do, but merely
asked their employers to make the rate
what it was a year ago, and the masters
did not have the slightest objection. 30
they proposed that the new wages be
gin yesterday, which was also agreed
TO. The increase will amount to 81
per cent. to 40 per cent.
All this is very peculiar, when 1t Is
remem bered that month later last
year every Kensington rolling mill was
idle and 500 hands were striking fol
more wages. The trouble continued fol
q long while and was one Of the most
bitter strikes recorded in the history Of
Philadelphia labor troubles. Both
sides presented determined fronts, and
for some time it looked as though the
trou BILE was never TO be settled.
Compromises we're rejected on both
sides, and the would be arbitrators rid.
iculed. Finally John p. Verree con-
ceivsd the idea Of bringing hands from
other cities to Philadelphis. He sent
men scouting throughout Pennsylvania
and managed to collect together abou,
thirty iron workers. This made the
strikers indignant, and the new hands
were threatened with death II they
dared TO work. The first lot were scared
away, hut Mr.. Verrse renewed the ex.
pertinent, this time being careful not to
secure weakened men.
The result was that the strikers
openly attacked the outside hands and
nearly killed one. Mr.. Verree obtain.
ed an interview with the Mayor, and q
squad Of one hundred policemen were
stationed around the mills for two
weeks. The men agreed to return tc
work at the reduced wages.
4 former ironwo orker, and one whe
took the most prominent part in the
strike last year, said yesterday: ''Yes,
1t is very peculiar that the bosses are SO
willing to raise the mems wages. After
the unsuccessful strike last year,
thought that the men would be reduced
whenever the employers found an Op
portunity.
The explanation Of the whole matter
Is that this is the busy season, and the
iron trade has revived to such an ex-
tent that the masters are forced to pay
good wages If they want competent
workers. By competent workers mean
intelligent workers, and men who un-
derstand their business. Everybody
clnnot work in ali iron mill.
A roller of iron is the highest of
skilled workmsn. He must have
CONF plets knowledge of iron so as to bs
able to know how it is affected by fire.
Nobody knows this better than the
mas .ers, and that is the main reason
for the increase of wages

much in the eyes of the highest

a New Phase.

4 The statement in the message
of Governor Marks, "that the
question as to the lien of the
holders of bonds issued to the
railroad companies, is now pend
ing in the courts" seems to be
news to the american, and
prompts it to the startling pre-
diction made in the following par
agraph:
''The holders Of our indebted
ness, with but comparatively few
exceptions, proposed to the last
General Assembly to coinpro-
mise at fifty cents on the dollar.
Others have declared willing
ness to compromise at sixty cents
on the dollar. Both CT these are
refused, and now the holders of
bonds loaned to railroads will
certainly resort to the courts to
enforce their alleged lien, and
demand Of the railroad compa-
MES the payment Of the bonds
to the last dollar Of principal and
interest. The Governor tells lis
that the question as to the lien
of the bondhoiders is now pend
ing in the courts. We cannot
learn from other sources of tie
existence Of such litigation. But
whether now pending or not, we
may be sure that it will soon fol-
low the message. If the lien be
declared, every solvent railroad
company in the State is immedi-
diately bankrupt, for the courts
can, and the bondholders will
enforce that lien. They certain
ly will prefer this to any compro-
mise at fifty or sixty cents"
All of the insolvent railroads
have been sold by the State to
solvent companies, who paid into
the State Treasury the prices bid
in State bonds. Upon these IN
solvent roads the solvent compa-
MES have expended hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in repairs
and equipments. Should the
bondholders succeed in the suit
which they will now certainly in
stitute, not only will a lien be
declared upon the original lines
Of the solvent companies for the
bonds issued them, but also up
on the insolvent lines which they
have bought and paid the State
for.

Sehorn-Howoll

We copy the following ex-
tract from the Murlreesboro
NeWs:
''In the investigation it was
also discovered that the same
parties were working up two
other cases Of a similar nature.
One case was that of a so-called
VIM. Fletcher, Of Nashville,
who having become insured in
several benevolent organizations
was to have died on Sunday, the
18th OF December, as is shown
by letters and copies Of letters
now in the hands of the grand
officers Of the Odd Fellows.
The other case was that OF
James Lively, one of the fcti-
tious names mentioned above.
A person calling himself Lively
and accompanied by one Hen
derson, stable keeper of Shell
byyille, was in Murfreesboro
on the 9Th of November. While
h ere he paid his dues to the
lodge and was examined for in
surance in the United Brother
hood Society of Pennsylvania.
He also had a will written by a
lawyer here, bequeathing all his
property including insurance
money to Henderson, Of Shelby
vile. 1t is known that this was
a deliberate conspiracy to fleece
[ h e insurance societies. The
name Of the man calling himself
Lively is known, but Is with
h el d for cautionary reasons.
The convincing proofs of the
facts narrated above are in pos
session OF Grand Master Budd,
who was assisted in his work Of
tracing mp the affair by Secreta-
ry j. r. Uarwell and Noble
Grand j. Ii. Crichlow."
