that the action of the board at its former
meeting should be rescinded and the adver
tisements recalled. There was no justicce al
all in permitting the whole body of the fac
ulty to remain under reproach because OF
allegations against one or two members.
1t is deemed as very probable that the
board will rescind its resolutions regarding
the High School faculty at its next meeting
in June. By some members the episode is
regarded rs already concluded, as the next
meeting was so closely to the end of the year
as to make it practically impossible to take
any steps with regard to the faculty before
its members would retire by expiration of
term.
As far as Miss Nobbs is concerned she is
now under suspension from the school until
such time as she elects to read an apology
before the faculty and declares her intention
of conforming to the rules.

coUNCILMEN's PRIVILEGES.
| Superintendent Weir Says the Sale of City
Horses Was All Right.

Superintendent Weir Says the Sale of City
Horses Was ALI Right.
The Department of Public Safety yester-
day turned into the city's sinking fund s., :
OOs so, realized on the sale of worn-out
horses of the police and fire bureaus Un-
der the law money realized from such sales
must become part of the sinking fund. Last
year when Chief Brown turned the money
received from this source over to Controller
Morrow, he had neglected to deduct from it
the per cent commission due to the
auctioneer, and the Controller refused to al
low the deduction after the money got into
his hands, thus making it necessary to pay
the auctioneer from the appropriation of
the department. This was not considered
fair and yesterday before the money was
turned over to the Controller the auction
eers commission, amounting to $5S was de-
Quoted.
Some controversy has arisen over the fact
that Select Councilman Doyle, whose busi-
ness is that of an auctioneer, was employed
to sell the city's horses, it being alleged he
is legally debarred from such service by
reason of his being Councilman. Superin-
tendent Weir claims that Doyle was sent to
perform the work by the auctioneer who
had the contract and he had as much right
to do it as any other man.

THE FIRST ACCIDENT.

Matthew Masterson Hurt on the Birmingham
Traction Line Yesterday Morning.
Early yesterday morning, while the new
Birmingham electric cars were being tested,
Matthew Masterson, who resides near South
Thirty-t third street, endeavored to get on
board the car near Twenty-eighth street. He
was caught between the car and a wagon
standing by the track and had his right foot
crushed SO badly that it will have to be
amputated.
Carson street is very narrow at that point.
and more accidents are liable to happen as
there is string of wagons allowed to stand
there continually in violation of the city
ordinance prohibiting vehicles remaining on
the streets over night.

UNIFORMS FOR THE DRIVERS.
Postmaster Mexican Makes Another I'm
proYement to His Service.


provement to His Service.
Postmaster Mexican has scored another
point in his effort to have all the employees
connected with the postoffice uniformed.
Yesterday the drivers of all the mail wagons
in the city received orders that on June
they are to appear in uniform, and that
thereafter no person shall be permitted
under any circumstances to ride on the mail
wagons except the regular driver and the
mail messengers; This is to put a stop to
the practice of drivers having their friends
or associates riding about on their mail
trips. The uniform will consist of a full
suit of light brown corduroy and blue cap
and badge. B. F. Grouse, the mail wagon
contractor, is entitled to the credit of max
ing the change as under his contract uni
forms are not required, but he has issued
the order to please Mr.. Mexican, who in turn
desires to please the public.
w. S. Maginnis, assistant general superin-
tendent of the railway mail service, who has
been here inspecting the mail wagon service
for several days, declares that this branch
of the service is the best in the country. He
has ordered Contractor Grouse to put on two
additional wire screen wagons in this city.

THEY SAY ALL ARE RUNNING.

Their Mills.

Planning Mill Owners Claim to Be Operating
Their Mills.
The only new developments in the strike
yesterday were the claims of the planning
mill men that all the mills were running
with from to 20 men under the nine hour
rules, and that by the end of the week they
would have all the men they could use. The
master builders also claim to be making in
roads in the strike, but Special Agent Irwin
says the reports show that all the carpenters
are firm, and he denies that any men have
gone to work save under the eight-hour rule.
The master plumbers met last night, and
were in session until midnight. They dis
cussed the strike, and quite number were
in favor of Withdrawing the new working
rules, but when the vote was taken they de-
cided to allow matters to stand as they are.
The Carpenters Council met last night and
discussed the apprentice rules, with view
tomodifying them somewhat, but no changes
will be made until after the next conference,
which will take place the last of the week.

WOULD KILL HIS BUSINESS.
u Mr. sBurchell, Of Cape Breton, Opposed to
American Reciprocity.

J. E. Burchell, a coal operator of Sydney,
Cape Breton, is at the Monongahela House.
He is inspecting American mining methods,
and he finds very little difference in the
operations between the two countries. He
says reciprocity with the United States
would ruin the coal business for the Breton
operators. They are unable to compete with
the home coal men in the Atlantic seaboard
markets. They ship coal as far south as
Montreal and Quebec, where they come into
competition with American coal.
Free trade, Mr.. Burchell says. would result
in,tle loss of these markets to them. Some
of the people are wild for reciprocity, ard
he thinks the country is rapidly drifting
toward it. Mr.. Burchen will leave for Co
1umbuS to-day.

Officer James O'Hara yesterday afternoon
picked up q rather handsome woman, 30
years of age, and a girl years old, both
helplessly intoxicated. They were taken to
Central Station, where Police SurgeonlMoyer
worked two hours to bring the child to con-
sciousness.
When the woman sobered up she
said she was the little girls mother She
gave her name as Catherine MILAN, wife of
a coal miner at Crabtree, Westmoreland
county.
She said her little girl was suffering from
some disease that the doctors could not un-
derstand, and she came here yesterday
morning to have the child treated BY Father
Mollinger. She got into the city about noon
yesterday, and went to O saloon with friend
of her husbands, where they had a couple
of drinks. When she got out on the street
she became dizzy. She declared that the
child had been given nothing but q bottle of
mineral water, but there is little doubt that
the girl had been dosed with liquor. The
case will be further investigated this morn

No More Crippled Live stock.

Out of the thousands of head of cattle
that came into East Liberty Stock Yards on
Monday not one was crippled, while for
merly every car contained one or two injured
animals. 1t was all due to the fact that now
stock is shipped by weight instead of by the
car, and therefore shippers had no reason to
Overcrowd the cars. The reform is largely
due to Agent Bergman, of the Humane
Society, who has advocated this method for
several years.

VIII Try to Make Frank Donaldson Clothe
His Child.

Four years ago Frank Donaldson and his
wife, of Elizabeth, separated on account of
the husbands drinking habits. They had
four children, and each took two. Mr..
Donaldson placed one of his daughters with
his father, and the other, Irma Donaldson,
in care of a woman in the country. A short
time ago she died, and left Irma homeless.
She went to her grandfather's, but was re-
fused admittance, and was given shelter by
a woman who wishes to complete the girls
education.
She is now q bright little girl of 15, and
well educated for one of her age. She wishes
to return to school, and the lady she is now
living with has agreed to keep her if her
father will clothe her. The Humane Society
will endeavor to compel him to at least do
that much.
