Proceedings of the Supervisors at Yes.
terday's Session

Proceedings of the Supervisors at Yes.
terday's Session.
The Board Of Supervisors resumed its
session yesterday morning. All of the
members were presenAlnd Ross was in the
chair.
Little was done during the morning ex-
cept examining bills and claims against the
county and auditing them.
1t had been previously arranged that the
Board should go in a body at IL o'clock to
inspect the recent repairs made on the
Twelfth-street trestle bridge, but owing to
the rain the trip was postponed.
]. G. Medley, representing the Towards,
appeared before the Board and sized that
the mcnthly allowance made by the county
for the charitable organization be increased
temporarily from $3.50 10 $3.50. He ex-
planned that at this time OF the year
the Association was called upon for
an immense amount of assistance, in the
way OF fuel clothing and food, for the
poor, sud in consequence needed more
money.
The members Of the Board all seemed
favorable 10 the proposition, but as they
were engaged on the claims, deferred &C
ton in the matter.
AT the afternoon session supervisor
Greer called the attention of the Board to
communication that had been received
from County School Superintendent How
ard embodying plan for establishing per
manent school districts. These districts
have for years been the source of a great
deal of annoyance 10 the county, for the
reason that they had never been thor
oughly established. Questions were con-
stantly arising involving the correctness of
the boundaries, and the Supervisors and
School Superintendents were consequently
placed in awkward predicaments. Rs
Gently, however, Mr.. Howard took upon
himself the task of defining the bounda-
ries, and his communication yesterday was
the result of his work
The Board adopted the boundaries sug-
gested by the Superintendent by unani-
nous vote.

and generous tribute he paid to her as his

DR.. M'KEE REPLIES.

Mr.. Ross got the floor, and made another
speech after Mr.. Greer had concluded. and
reiterated al of his objections, concluding
by declaring again that the Board had will
fully and knowingly expended money al
ready on the canal when it had no right to
do so.
Mr.. Tebbets took the Chairman TO task
for this assertion, and some not words were
exchanged.
Then DR.. Mckee saw his opportunity,
duringa momentary lull, to reply to Mr..
Greer. He said ne had not gonesabout
among the people living near the canal in
curing as to their health, because he had
something else to do, and besides, the
Board lad only instructed him to visit the
winery. He had no doubt however, that
the stencil from the canal had caused much
sickness during the summer months, and
would again next SUMMER unless remedied.
Supervisor Bates Clipped in at this
iuncfnre, for the first time during the dis
cussion. Lets go out, and stop them

their slush into the canal. That'll fix the

Combine of Reading Stockholders
Formed to Compel the President to
Resign.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The Times says
that syndicate Of New York and Phila-
delphia capitalists, hostile to President
Corbin, has succeeded in purchasing a
controlling interest in the stock of the
Reading railroad. Among the members
OF the syndicate are John Wanamaker,
Thomas Dolan, Mayor Filter, Messrs.
Elkins and Widener, and number of
Standard Oil capitalists. A representa-
tive stockholder, it is proposed, will sue
Mr.. Corbin for largo sum of money on
the ground that through Mr. Corbin's
mismanagement the Reading company
has been an enormous loser. Some facts
that have been disclosed suggest that
this suit may be for as much as S2, ,0OO,-
900. There are hints that other suits in
addition will be begun also to try TO re-
cover on other accounts, and it Is said
that the Central Railroad Of New Jersey,
is also to be made defendant in suit for
damages, and asked 10 disgorge large
revenues diverted from the Reading
property to the Jersey Central treasury.
Representatives Of the syndicate are at
work upon plans which their friends de-
clare will result in inducing President
Corbin to resign and retire from the
property without contest. 1t is under
stood that a conference between Mr..
Corbin and these new owners of Reading
stock is being arranged, and is likely to
be held within week. The impression
seems TO be growing that Mr.. Corbin
will prefer to retire gracefully rather
than risk the dangers Of being deposed
by the courts,

Twins, Triplets and Ouadruplets.

Twins do not happen more than 300
times year in Il population Of 1 1000, 900,
and seldom hit the same family twice.
Triplets are rare enough to be curiosi-
ties. 1t is estimated that not one woman
in 100000 has given birth to three chill
dren at one time, and, although there is
on record in the old medical works the
case of a German peasant woman who
had twelve children at four births-three
each time-and Michigan woman who
is given the credit of having produced
dozen children at five births inside of
seven years-quadruplets once, triplets
once, twins twice and lone youngster
on the last occasion. Such instances of
fecundity are rarer than new planets,
and the lady entitled to the cake for hav-
ing had four children at birth is not to
be found once in crowd of 1000 mar
ried women. The woman who has given
birth to five children at once is alone

SECRETARY TRAcY,s CONDITION,

he Is Resting Easily, but Feels His Loss
Keenly y-His Daughter Doing Well.
WAsH1EoToN, Feb 9. Secretary Tracy
appears to be considerably improved and
rapidly recovering from the effects of
snffocation. As the effects of the
opiates wear off he begins to realize more
keenly the loss of his wife and daughter.
The reaction from opiates naturally
leaves him physically weaker. His son
Frank reached Washington about /
o'clock a. m, and remained at the exec
ative mansion during the night. In the
morning he went to the house of Ban
croft Davis and joined Gen. Catlin, Mrs.
Tracy's brother and few friends who
remained with his father. President
Harrison win probably join them there
after the funeral of Mrs. Coppinger and
arrange for removing the secretary to
the executive mansion, The arrange
nlents for the funeral of Mrs. Tracy and
her daughter will be decided upon at the
same time. The latest reports from the
others who were injured at the fire state
that they are getting along very nicely.
