When the five Trustees of the Poor
We're elected by the Levy Court on
Wednesday last there were some
doubts on the minds of President
Buckingham and others as to whether
Joseph Chambers time had expired,
as there seemed to be no particular
record OF his election as trustee from
Christiana hundred. But on being
told by ex-President Grubb that, ac-
cording to his recollection, Mr..
Chambers time had expired, and ex-
Levy Courtman Toy being present
and stating too that he was confident
Mr.. Chandeliers term had expired, the
court proceeded to elect Charles NJ.
Groom, OF Newport, as his successor.
1t is stated since that Mr.. Chandler
claims that his term has not expired
and that no is still entitled to his seat.
There are but few who claim that Mr.
Chandler is trustee, but there seems
to exist some difference of opinion MS
to whether his term expired this
spring or last spring.
The imperfect record OF the Levy
Court shows that Adolphus Husbands,
was elected trustee February Z, 1884,
for term OF three years. Mr.. Hus-
bands died January 30, 1885, and Mr..
Chandler was selected to fill out his
unexpired term, which was two years
and one month. Mr.. Chandler served
out this uneXpired term aud February
II, 1887, he was elected by the Levy
Court for full term of three years.
This full term shows that Mr.. Chan.
dlers time expired In February, 1890.
Since then until the present time Mr.
Chandler has cen serving Illegally, as
no record appears to show that he was
reelected u year ago. However it vii
do no harm for Mr.. Chandler to pusl
his c'uim to his seat, as it will bring out
ali the facts In the case.

New YoRR, Feb. 9.-"Before 1901 has
expired all tho railroads In the North
west will be operated under single
management"
These were the words of gentle
man who was one of the prime NOV
ers in organizing the Western Railroad
Association, and who took an active
and prominent part in the Windsor
Hotel meetings. The event he pre-
dicted, as outlined by him, is the most
gigantic railway consolidation that
has ever been undertaken.
The roads In the Northwest include
the Northern Pacific, the Canadian Pa
cltic, the Chicago, Burlington ~ Quin-
cy, the Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul,
the Chicago Il Northwest and the Great
Northern. "Why even talk OF the pro-
posed Southwestern agreement" he
said, when the proposed Northwest
ern agreement is 50 much more i'm
portant. Here is combination OF
roads that will aggregate upwards of
rs 900 miles of rail lines in active OPP
Grafton, and to n great extent, in com
e.ition with each other. Plans for
their merger, or practical consolida-
ton, under one management, are
now nearly completed"
Exactly what tho plan is that will
bring about such consolidation he
declined to state, but said it has met
the approval OF all those directly in
terested in it, and little remains to he
done except to work out some OF Its
details.

tee Of No. 10 school be authorized to
expond s475 to Introduce carpenter
work into that school.
s. r. Smith thought that $500 W ould
be too much increase In the salary OF
the instructor in carpentering.
DR.. Morgan said that the instructor
himself had fixed no figure.
Mr.. O'Donnell objected to paying the
instructor any additional salary.
DIR. Morgan suggested that the cost
be reduced to 300.
S, II. Smith said at the present rate
OF pay of me ehnnics, 20 cents an hour,
200 additional hours work would be
$40 instead of $500.
Dr, Morgan moved TO postpone for
one week.
Mrs Ross said that the board should
do what was sensible. Even 500 per
amnum, he said, would be SO cents per
hourl for that additional work. He
wanted to give the colored people the
same advantages as the white II prac-
ticable.

adopted.

by fire about midnight last night. 1t
was no doubt the work OF an incen-
diary. The loss is about $500 and 1t is
fully covered by insurance.
Some trouble was experienced in
notifying the fire department, as the

alarm from Delaware avenue and Du-
Point street left his key sticking in the
box but evidently forgot to pull the
lever and give the alarm. Superinten-
tendent Aydon subsequently, visited

IoNpoN, Feb. 9,-The news of Baron
Hirseh's gift for the benefit OF Russian
and Polish Hebrews omiglating to tho
United States has boon received with
considerable satisfaction in London.
as there are strong opposition both
among the working classes and bust
ness men TO any more immigration OF
Russian Hebrews to England, and
Lord Salisbury's Government has been
asked to Interfere to prevent it.
The latest arrivals from Russia on
their way TO America are OF squalid
description and il is probable that the
the loeal authorities would have inter
fered to their remaining here. even IL
the Imperial Government had not
acted.
1t Is hoped that Baron Hlrsch's
donation will induce the United States
not to send back to Europe the many
thousands OF Russian Hebrews who are
preparing TO swarm across the Atlantic,
most OF whom ara destitute.
An Odessa despatch says that
instructions have been received from
st. Petersburg TO facilitate tho emil
grafton OF all the Hebrews possible.
