Junior and Senior Mechanic Delegates Be-
Iieve They Should Unite.
Seventy-fve delegates representing the
Junior and Senior Orders of United Ameri-
can Mechanics met in Moorhead's Hall to
further consider the question of consolida-
ton. Letters were received from 6S coun-

dation were passed. 1t was claimed the
aims of the organizations are about the
same, and their interests could best be SUBJ
served by combining. The convention
favored one national council, and each dele
gate was asked to assist in inducing the
representative of his council to the State
convention to urge the adoption of such
union. A request will be made on the
National Council to submit the question to
vote of the councils.
DR.. R. A. Walker, of Westmoreland
county, was appointed to represent the
Senior order, and Edward Pastorius the
Junior order at the next meeting of the
State Councils, and they will present the
resolutions adopted yesterday.
The Committee on Resolutions consists of
G. S. Davis, Rev. M. G. Potter, A. B. Fox,
DR.. II. E. Campbell, H. c. Abbott and W.

ence between the amount of the appropria-
tion for the present fiscal year as fixed by
this board, 1854, ,304, and the amount
granted by Councils, 1872, ,475.
Referring to the course of Councils in
cutting down the last appropriation, the

The act of Assembly gives this board the
power to determine the amount necessary to
meet its expenses and makes it mandatory on
Councils to appropriate the amount certified.
The estimate of the expenses for the fiscal year
commencing February l, 1890, herewith sub
mitted, has been carefully prepared and the
appropriation asked for is absolutely necessary
to meet the expenses of the year, and we sug-
gest that at the reorganization of this board,
committee be appointed and given power to
compel the observance of the law relating to
school appropriations
The estimate of next years expenses, for
which the appropriation is asked, is: Cen
tral Board, IS, ,130; High School, Sc, 400;
Normal School, 81 ,2S5; teachers salaries,
SS5, 900; music, $4,000; evening schools,

Page, of the School Board of the Liberty
sub-school district of the Twentieth ward,
to the effect that Cyrus S. Gray had been
elected the representative from that board
to fill out the unexpired term of WI.
Diehl, resigned.
A request was received asking for 20
nights additional night school this season,
but it was refused, owing to the cut by
Councils of the appropriation.
The report of the City Superintendent for
December showed that during the month
there were 26, ,126 pupils enrolled in the
schools. The average attendance for the

REASONS FOR RESIGNING.
Father LambinE Shakes Up the Historical
Society.

Society.
Father A. A. Lambing, of Williamsburg,
was approached yesterday afternoon by a
DISPATCH reporter regarding his recent
resignation as Secretary of the Western
Pennsylvania Historical Society. In reply
to question as to whether or not he had
rendered his resignation. he said:
'Most assuredly have, but they have not
taken any official notice of it yet, only at
the last meeting I believe they passed res
olution of regret or something of that
kind"
As to why he resigned the reverend father
said he was weary trying to awaken and
keep up society that had no life and no
ambition. The Historical Society, he said,
was second edition of the Old Residents
Association that was formed in '79. and
could be representative society of its kind
in the United States if the members would
only take some interest in the preparation of
papers to be read and inviting new members
to join the organization. Father Lambing
said he had endeavured by every possible
manner to put life into the society, but he
found it an impossibiIity. The gentlemen
who belong to it are too busy with business
to be interested to any great extent in the
previous history of the State, too
much occupied with the present, to care for
the past. The last meeting of the club was
called by Mr.. John G. Porter, who is acting
as Secretary. Father Lambing said he had
prepared great many papers for the socie-
ty, over which he would spend time and
thought, and would go to the meeting to
find only handful of gentlemen to listen
to the reading of the paper, which showed
lack of appreciation on the part of the men,
bers of the society.
The gentleman said he was ready to re-
sumo labors in the society whenever it
showed signs of resurrection, and would oe-
casionallY send them a paper while it re-
mained in its lethargic condition.

APPROPRIATIONS EXHAUSTED,
But Treasurer DennistOn Has a Plan tC
PreYent DelnK.

But Treasurer Dennistou Has a Plan to
Prevent Delay.
Major J. F. Denniston, City Treasurer,
yesterday concluded an arrangement with
the banks which are depositaries of the
municipal funds by which he will be able to
provide the necessary running expenses
until March, when the treasury will be
repleted. At present, he says, the appropria-
tions are all nearly exhausted, except the
sinking fund, and the cost of running the
city business between now and March will
be about $3.50, 900, which will be needed for
salaries, etc.
The method agreed upon between the
Treasurer and the banks is for him to draw
by personal check as the money is required,
retain the warrants as they are handed in,
and instead OF cancelling them, deposit them
in the various banks as vouchers, taking up
the check previously made. This idea is to
secure the convenience of city employees and
prevent their having to wait over two
months for their pay.

not cost much to extend water, police and

DlSAGREEING JURIEs.

MIR. Ferguson Says He Never Encountered
So Many as In 1859.
j. S. Ferguson, Esq, states that in all
his previous practice he never encountered
SO many disagreeing juries as during the
past year.
Mr.. Ferguson spoke as though he thought
the times were out of joint, but some people
think it an evidence of jury reform, posi-
bly, at least, they think it may be possible
that juror who would refuse to agree to an
unjust verdict in order to make a train or
get his dinner on time is an improvement on
some who have done duty in the past five
years.

A Report Tint They Have Been Appointed
Couldn't be Verified.
There is a report out in Lawrenceville
that the officers of the new bank had been
chosen. The report could not be verified
because the reported President, Colonel
Morgan, was not at home. Considerable
dissatisfaction is rife in the neighborhood
about the apparent inactivity of the movers
in the new concern. The want of an insti-
tuition for money purposes is sadly needed.
So far away are banks from the Fifteenth
and Sixteenth wards that people are forced
to keep their money at home. This they
don't relish, their money not being SO secure
or remunerative as it would be if it was in a
bank
