BOROUGH BUDGET
DOINdS OF THE SCHOOL
BOARD LAST NIGHT.
LARGE ENROLMENT OF PUPILS.
The Coal Contract Awarded to
the Columbia Hose Company.
Rule Concerning Suspended
Pupils Confirmed.

The directors present at the regular
meeting of the School Board last night
were Messrs. Beddall, O'Hearn, Gable,
Conry, Muldoon, Hanna, Gallagher, Tre-
zise, Williams, Bschman, Butts, Daven-
port and Baird.
Tax Collector Schmidt appeared before
the board and stated the result of the work
of collection of taxes with the aid of
police. Up to date 149 Poles and Hun
garians have been arrested OF that num-
Der 26 we're released upon making affidavit
that they had not resided in the country
long enough TO be taxable The rest paid
up, and the sums collected for school taxes
the past month aggregate S689.40. Mr.
Schmidt said he would ask council to let
Officer Connors continue in the work for
while.
Superintendent Freeman reported the
reopening of all the schools with an enroll
ment of 2,078 Mr.. Freeman also reported
that be has arranged new plan to deal
with complaints by teachers and parents.
Hereafter he will take no hand in settling
such differences, but will refer all COM
plants of parents against teachers, or
teachers against parents, to the School
Board, so that full investigation may be
made of all cases.
This announcement brought up the case
of the Scheeler children, who were sus-
| pended from the schools during the last
term. The parents sent request, through
two directors, that the board reinstate the
children and send them to teacher other
than the one who suspended them.
Superintendent Freeman called attention
to the resolution adopted by the board
when the suspensions we're confirmed.
The resolution provided that the children
could be reinstated after making, with
their parents, an apology to the teacher.
After considerable discussion the board
decided it could see no good reason for
ignoring the resolution and that the rein
statement cannot be made until the chill
dren and parents comply with it.
The bids for hauling coal for the schools
were next considered and, on motion, the
contract was awarded to the lowest bidder,

sELANagR WAS MURDERED.

His Head Almost Severed from the Body
tits Supposed from the Blow of AN Axe.
LOWELL Mass, Sep. 2-The police are
satisfied that David Belanger, the dry
goods merchant, found dead in his store
Tuesday night, was murdered.
Another examination of the body was
made by physicians and the theory of
suicide has been set aside.
The head had almost been severed from
the body, it is thought by blow from an
axe or butchers cleaver. Other wounds
were also found on the head and body,
indicating that Belanger was felled TO
the floor and beaten in a merciless man
ner afterward.
The theory is that Belanger went
into his store about midnight and, while
in the act of striking a light, was
pounced upon by someone in hiding and
killed before he could make an outcry.
The police have, as yet no clue to the
murderer

County Ticket.

CALVIN S. BRIoE, Democratic Sena'
!. tor from Ohio, is one of the employers
of convict miners in Tennessee, and it
was his company that brought about
the recent outbreak of the free miners
of that state. The fact is interesting
to men who work and who vote, and
we should think it would be advisable
for Mr. Brice to resign his chairman
ship of the Democratic National Com
mittee-to say nothing of his residence
in New York and his position as a
Senator from Ohio. If it hasn't oc-
Cured to Mr.. Brice it might be ad-
vantageous to the Democratic party to
think about it.
