H. #. Kenney to Remain Supertn-
tendent Of Tho p, W. q b. n. b.
The Telegraph of Friday afternoon
last contained an item in regard to
railroad matters which may have
been correct in some particulars, but
in others it was not.
Among the errors, land very inn
portant 0ne,) was that Mr.. j. X.
Lodge had been appointed Superin-
tendent Of the p, W. & B. Il. R., in
place of Mr.. II. F. Kenney.
A representative of the GAZETTE
approached one of the directors of
the p, W. & B., this morning in res
gard to the matter, and in reply to
the question as to whether the item
was true or not, he answered em-
phatically that it was not.
After the puchased had been made
and upon a reorganization, Mr..
Kenney was appointed Superinten,
dent of the road at an increased
salary.
Mr.. Lodge to whom the telegraph
referred has been appointed Superin-
tendent of the Central Division Of
the p, W. & B. r. R., which com~
prises the Baltimore Central and
Philadelphia and West Chester rail-
roads.
Mr.. Kenney has been Superinten-
dent of the P ;, w. & b. r. R., for a
number of years, and during the time
has shown great executive ability
and the p, r. R., recognizing tl,is
retained him in the position.

Adjourned Meeting.

According to adjournment on Friday
evening last, City Council met on Sat-
urday evening at the corner of Seventh
and Pine streets for the purpose of ex
aiming the condition of Seventh street
from Pine to Spruce. The street 10 In q
very bad condition, and Mr.. McMenamin
was Of the opinion that 1t should be re-
paved. In this opinion majority OF the
coincided, but as the street appropria
tion is somewhat low at the present
time, no action was taken in tbe matter.
Council; next proceeded,to Davis Street,
between Heald and Claymont, for the
purpose OF viewing some grading that
was being done. The grading as at first
proposed would injure two houses be-
longing to William patterson, leaving
them aboat six feet above the bed of the
street. The difficulty will be obviated
however, as Council ordered the street
to be graded up 10 "Knuckle" In front
of the two houses mentioned.
Council then adjourned.

With the return Of prosperous times parents
have felt better able to pay the cost or prl-

it accordingly.
The Commissioner closes his report With
the stereotypetl recommendation that a
whole or part of the proceeds from the sales
Of public lands should be applied to the sup
port of public education. The TRIBUNE has
already shown that the funds derived from

accounts Of the wonders Of Assyrla and
Egypt, even to. the personal records Of Pha-
raoll, Cyrus. Alexander. and Nebuchadnez-
zar. The field of history covered by the Old
Testament snow slowly coming to view,
and we are to have the very statements Of the
grand personages whose lives and deeds that
history commentaries. To the scholar it
opens up wonderfully fascinating world Of
study, and to the Christian it is none the less
important as furnishing the data by which to
verify or correct the Scriptures. As 1iassam

date before the flood, who knows but that he
