To such degree has the penchart for show

Poetry mud Fact.

young man has been led captive by a
phantom girl, and Is made the slave of
her beauty, until an old teacuer comes
in and fixes his eye upon the figure,
and it vanishes 10 its true form Of a

The Alarm al No. 20 School.

There was quite an excitement at
No. 20 school house at Tenth and
Spruce streets, yesterday afternoon.
Shortly after the school had takeu in,
after the noon recess, the teachers iud-
ing the rooms unpieasantly warm shut
Oft the steam. In few moments a
rumblinE sound was heard and the
steam commenced to ascend from the
cellar into the class rooms. This
frightened the children, and they
started for every avenue or escape, and
had it not been Tor the GOODNESS, and
under the circumstances, heroic con-
duct Of Miss Taylor, the principal, and
her assistants, a fearful panic would
have been the result. These ladies ex-
ercised the greatest discretion, and dis
missed the scholars with as much
calmness as though nothing was the
matter, but it is to be expected that
when the little ones reached the stairs
and other outlets, they lost no time in
getting out. As there were 432 small
children in the building, and all were
gotten out in safety, too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon these ladies'
for their actions. Mean while the alarm
spread among the people, and the most
exaggerated stories were soon being cir
Culateu.
These reached the ears sSOf many
motners whose little ones were in the
school, and in few minutes women
we're seen running from all directions
toward the building. Many OF them
met their little ones on their way home
and retraced their steps.
A reporter Of the REPUBLICAN has
tens TO the place, aud ascertalned
that the alarm was caused by the au-
tomatic damper regulator of the steam
heating apparatus, becoming disarran-
eed, and allowing the steam to increase
in pressure, until it opened the safety
valve on the boiler. This caused the
rumbling sound, and the escape of
steam which alarme1 the scholars. The
safety valve only did what 1t was
placed there TO do, and there was no
possibility for an explosion, and conse-
auently no real occasion for an alarm.
There was not the slightest damage
done to the heating apparatus or the
boiler. and persons who have been
close to a locomotive when the steam
has forced the valve open, will thor
oughly understand the cause of the
alarm, Parents who have children at
tending schools where steam heating
apparatus are in use, are assured that
there is not the slightest danger Of the
boilers exploding, as they are 80 con-
structed as to render. that NJ impossi-
bility. Mr.. Kenny, of the committee
on No. 20 school, wishes it stated that
the school will be open N Monday and
a full attendance Is req rired.

and a public school children's enter

In the evening. The head of the pa.
rade left Broad and Fltzwater street
about II o'clock and out of the several
parallel streets came teeming regiments
brigades and divisions into Broad
street, until the whole line was in mo-
tion.
The tramplng thousands fled from
Broad street into Chestnut and down
that street to Third reaching there at
40 q. m. The march was made to
rather quicker time than the previous
psrades, and the head of the line had
"assed up Market street, and out Broad
street to Girard avenue, by 12.45 Gen
eral Hartranft then Ordersd halt OF
about 20 minutes duration, during
which the artillery Stationed at Girard
avenue rired salute. The head of the
column reached Columbia avenue about
twenty minutes past one o'clock, ,or just
about the time that the rear of the line
fell into position on South Broad street
and began the march, so chat the parade
was over five miles long. 1t was about
half.past three o'clock when the rear
reached Columbia avenue.
There was no CountermarcA southwark
on Broad street by the military, but
the Grand Army of the Republic coun-
termarched there, passing their own
lines, though very few, excepting the
downtown Posts, went south of Fair,
mount avenue. Great skill was shown
in both assembling and .disu issing
the vast aggregation of men that made
up the parade, and the display was en-
HANGED by the care taken by the COM
manders of the various bodies to keep
