Tho Regular Monthly Meeting.

Tho Regular MOnthly meeting.
A stated meeting of the board of health
was held yesterday afternoon in the select
council chamber. The following named
members were present: Messrs. Newton
Lightner, &. A. Heinitsl,, James II. Mar.
SHAH and Drs. NJ. L. Herr and C.. Ii.
Brown.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
The secretary, DR.. Brown, reported that
since the last meeting of the board twelve
nuisances had been reported, making
twenty-nine in all reported to date, and
that all Of them had been promptly abated.
The secretary reported, also, that he
had sent out one hundred notices to magis-
trates clergymen and physicians, calling
their attention to the provisions of the act
of Assembly of May j, 1876, which requires
them to report to the secretary of the
board their names and places Of residence !:
keep a register of births and marriages,
and make a return of them to the secre-
tary of the board on the list Of July, Octo-
Der: January and April. Only twenty. two
of the one hundred have as yet sent in
their names and address to the secretary.
The penalty for failing to comply with any
Of tho duties required by. the act is from
s. to $40.
The board discussed the matter briefly,
and while it was deemed very important
to have all the names and residences Of the
clergy, physicians and magistrates, SO that
full and accurate reports may be made ON
the 1st of July, it was resolved to take no
extreme measures at present, but it is
foped that before the end of the month all
the names will be received and registered.
A bill from the prpthonotary for filing
and entering a petition and order of court

other normal schools have been anguish
ing for want Of pupils, Millersville has
been full to overfowing. While they
have been annually begging the Legisla-
ton for Gods sake to help them with
special appropriations, Millersville has
paid its way, and expended tens of th0us-
ands of dollars out of its proceeds for en-
largements and improvements. Docs this
show the principal to be incompetent? ?
The present outbreak is the first that has
occurred in the history Of the insti-
tuition. There have been excite
ments and complaints. but what
school or college has escaped? You,
as college men know how frequent such
things are in even our best colleges, nor
do they show incompetency, in most cases,
in the president or faculty. There were
things about the Langan affair that oc-
CURED last winter, that were unfortunate.
and DR.. B. became in that case the victim
of circumstances impossible to foresee and
hard to control. I think you were misin-
formed as to some of the facts, and to con-
denim DR.. B. on the statements made by
Mr.. L., and his friends seems to me to be
unjust. He has made mistakes, as his best
friends and he himself will admit but it
may be doubted whether there is in the
state an educator who would have made
fewer mistakes or achieved more satisfac-
tory results.
And now let me assure you that the stu.
dents are not all up in arms they are go
ing on with their studies as usual. A few
students will leave whose action will be
regretted; but at the same time the insti-
tuition will get rid of disloyal element
that has been for some time source of
trouble. The school this session is unusu-
ally large and prosperous, and it will be
none the worse for the present excitement.

Attempted Murder Followed by Suicide

Attempted Murder Followed by suicltle.
William Murphy, the divorced husband

quested an interview. Mrs. McClarran
appeared, Murphy threw his arms around
her neck, drew = revolver and shot her in

entered her breast, and then, placing the
revolver against his own forehead, fired,
