LOCAL NEWS OF A DAY
MR.. LoRE's LETTER TO THE
CHANGERS.
LAST MONTHS PUMPING RECORD.
the Board of Education Sees an Original
way to Give Debtors Relief and Adopts
1t.

| a special meeting of the Board OF Educa-
.ioi was held last evening, President Baird
III the chair. The object of the meeting
wac 10 take action upon the Keystone School
and Church Furniture Company's bill for
S2.33l.74.
| President Baird stated that an agent of
the company had been in town the day
before and 1t appeared that 1t vas anxious
| to get the money. The Board had no funds
and In order to pay him IL had been agreed
| 10 that II an arrangement could be made
with one of the banks, by which it nav The
money, and the Board pay the bank when it
got Its funds from Council, that would be
| satisfactory.
lie proposition was ttlted to be that the
keystone Company should give TO the First
NATIONAL Bank Its note for the amount,
S@,33l anu get the money and at the same
Time give an accepted order on the Board
Tor the amount Of the note. All, it was
stated, that was required was simply the
Board to give an order, or an acknowledge
ment OF Indebtedness, and they could
negotiate as they saw fit.
DIR. Shortlidge did not know why CITY
Council could not loan the money. lie was
In favor of not only paying the keystone
company, but all the others to whom bills
were due, but he was not in favor of going
into bank and paying interest. Council
now had 500, 900 in bank.
long discussion followed as to whether
It would be proper to take this action. A
number of members said that if this action
was taken the same rule would hold good
with reference to the bills of other parties.
1t was held that 1t was special legislation,
and the Board should pay the other credl-
tors.
The general impression was that If any
other of the creditors desired the same favor
as that shown to the Keystone Company,
they could get it.
After Mr.. IIotlccker's original proposition
had been lost, 1t was decided simply to issue,
on demand, Acknowledgements of Indebted
ness, certified TO by the proper officers, to all
creditors whose claim comes under the
$50, 900 appropriation yet due from Council.
Mr. Kenney reported that p Carroll had
been appointed janitor for No. 20 school in
place of Eliza johnson, removed.

The Board of Health last night, after
acting on nuisances, heard report from
Secretary Frazer, that he had received from
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in reply
to his notification that they must drain the
pond at Fourteenth and Forrest streets, a
communication which stated that the matter
would be attended to at once. Messes Otto
and Kane were appointed committee to
investigate the complaint of George w.
Gray against William Hare on French street
below Third, who is alleged to allow the
water to flow from his premises to those of
Mr.. Gray, and the same committee was also
appointed to look after the condition of an
alley running of Chestnut street near
Adams. Drs. Draper and Springer ap-
pointed to investigate the complaint of Mr..
Lawlcr at Ninth and Lombard streets re-
ported 1t nuisance, and the owners of the
adjoining properties were ordered to abate
it within two weeks. Messrs. Kane and
Springer, the committee on the complaint at
No. 500 Morrow street, reported it a nuis-
ancc and the Board ordered 1t abatcd within
ten days. The executive officers were
directed to notify parties who are indebted
to the Board for paving alleys that if the
bills were not paid by the next meeting of
the Board suit would be brought against
them

POLICE INTERFERENCE.
High Handed Conduct OH the Part Of
"Naies' MoGel Force''-Refusing to
Surrender Prisoners

High Handed Conduct Oh the Part OF
"Wa'es' MOGel Force'-Refusing to
Surrender Prisoners.
The police put themselves in new light
that Of interfering with the ends Of jus
tice. The trial of the negroes, Dave Hinson
and Moses Watson, for assaulting George
Smith, colored, at Tenth and Orange
streets, and for carrying concealed deadly
weapons, was reported in yesterdays
GAZETTE. Squire Vandegrift held them in
5000 each to keep the peace and Hinson was
held for court under the deadly weapon
law. Failing to furnish bail, the Squire
concluded to give them little more time
and had them locked up in the hall. They
still asked for more time yesterday, and
were allowed until 2.30 o'clock.
At that time commitments were made out
and constables Wier and Hickman went to
the City Hall to get them and take them to
New Castle on the O'Clock train. AS the
constablcs went into the Hall, Walter Bacon,
young lawyer, ran in and told Chief
Hawkins not to release the men. Mr.
Hawkins obeyed him and the constables
were told that they could not have the
prisoners. by this time a big crowd had
collected, and shortly after on writ of
certiOrd'G the men were taken before the
Pruthonotary and afterwards brought be-
fore Magistrate Yandegrift, where the bail
was finally given and they were released.
The case has created much comment, and
the action of the officers, which was taken
for simply political reasons was unwarranted
and high handed assumption OF authority.
