D1seRAoHFUL PROCEEDINGS.
Constablcs and Revolvers Figure In Butler
Township School Anhirs.

Township School Affairs.
ASHLAND, June 13-The school affairs of
Butler township are in a most demoralized
state and the warning factions have COM
pletely covered themselves with disgrace.
Saturday night there was a sequel to the bit
ter struggle of weeks past in which revolvers
were Aourished and for time it looked as if
blood would be shed.
The trouble arose from the act of Thomas
Nolan in setting up School Board of his
own and attempting to get control of the
books of the regular board, which consisted
of Terrence Ginley, Owen Conry, Thomas
Nolan, John Paul, George Miller and George
Kessler. Unlawful acts were alleged against
Nolan and he was deposed by the board, the
vacancy being filled by the election of John
! L'Velle.
Nolan instituted mandamus proceedings to
have himself re-instated and won decision,
but the School Board has appealed Nolan
refused to recognize the old board after the
decision and without waiting for result ON
appeal proceeded to organize a board of his
own with George Miller and William Walter.
shide, Of the east end, as associate members.
Meantime the old board met, wound up its
busiaoss and adjourned. Then Sweeney and
Carey, two of the township auditors and
friends Of Nolan, fixed meeting at his house
in Big Mine Run for auditing the school ac-
counts and notified Secretary Kessler to pro
duce the books. Kessler did not obey and
the auditors placed capias in the hands of
two constables TO require the attendance of
the secretary and school teacher named
Maurer, who helped to keep the accounts
The constabes were unsuccessful and the
two men sought kept out of the way by
advice of counsel.
Last Saturday evening the regular board
met at Locust Dale and the two constables
were in attendance. Nolan Miller and
Waltershide did not appear. Directors Gin.
ley, Conrey, L'Velle and Kessler proceeded
with business and meanwhile third con
stable appeared. 1t is said the Nolan members
were waiting for the constables to bring
Maurer Kessler aud the books to meeting
of the auditors at Big Mine Run.
When the cOnstables attempted to take the
men and books they met with resistance, The
officers drew their revolvers and the directors
did likewise. The situation was critical
one, but William Wilhelm, Esq, the regular
boards attorney, was equal to the emergency
and succeeded il invoking peace; but the
constables were finally elected and the board
proceeded with its business, electing Richard
Flynn treasurer
Secretary Kessler was arrested on Saturday
evening and escaped, On Sunday six con-
stables surrounded and kept guard at his
house. but it was reported that the secretary
and all the township books were in Camden,
NJ. This was controyerted, however, by a
statement that the sheriff has been notified
that Kessler, Maurer and the books will be
surrendered to him as soon as he produces d
capias, and that all the regular board asks is
protection.

A CIrcusmnn nndlx Iniurnd.

HARRIsBURG, June 14-Charles Louch
was kicked in the stomach while driving
one of Walter Mains new and unframed
circus horses in the parade yesterday after
noon The accident occurred at Second
and State streets and may prove serious
one TO Louch, who is now receiving atuen-
ton at the city hospital. 1t seems that the
wagon is a trick one, the success of which
depends largely ON the part played by the
horse When the shafts backed up on the
hind legs of the horse he didn't take kindly
to it and kicked, striking the unfortunate
driver in the stomach and breaking the
wagon. Walter Main has been held for
cruelty to animals.

money there to see the Worlds Fair are as

Columbus may have touched into life a
great continent, but his name conceals NO
hidden powers, and everything Columbian
seems to be stricken with blight. Col.

lam Veale is proprietor.
Mr.. Franey occupies the first floor of the
building for his furniture business and en-
trance to the saloon is gained by means of
several broad stone steps leading from the
Main street side under one of the show
windows of Mr.. Franeys store. All day
yesterday Mr.. Veale was bothered by a strong
smell of gas in his saloon and he called the
attention of the landlord to it repeatedly,
but the cause of the nuisance could not be
discovered.
Towards evening the smell became un-
Scarable and Mr.. Veale was unable to re-
main in the basement. Mr.. Franey ex-
amined his store carefully and could find no
leak. AT about six o'clock Mr.. Veale said he
would examine the basement again. He had
hardly disappeared down the steps when a
loud report of an explosion was heard. Mr..
Franey hurried down into the basement and
saw Mr.. Veale running towards the rear of
the saloon with his hands over his face.
When he got just inside of the doorway, at
the foot of the stone steps, Mr.. Franey
struck match and as he did 80 there was
another explosion and a great volume of
smoke arose from beneath the bottom Of the
steps. Mr.. Franey then sprinted to the rear
of the saloon
The cause Of the trouble was then learned.
a large sewer pipe runs into the building
under the stone steps. In some unaccount-
able manner the gas from a leaking pipe in the
street got into the sewer pipe and during the
day quite a body accumulated. When Mr..
Veale went down to make his investigation
he struck a match at the bottom of the steps
and ignited the gas which was escaping from
under the last step into the saloon. The next
instant the gas in the sewer pipe ignited and
exploded. Mr.. Veale was facing the steps at
the time and received the force. His face
was pretty severely scorched and part of his
hair and whiskers we're burned, but fortu-
nately they were not of dangerous character
Mr.. Veale was able to walk TO his home, but
his place of business was closed for the night.
Mr.. Franey was more fortunate. His hair
was but slightly singed and he was disturbed
more by the shock than anything else.
The matter has precipitated general dis
cussion and may be brought to the attention
Of the Borough Council tomorrow night.
Leaks in the gas pipes are becoming SO
numerous the question will no doubt be
brought up in some shape at the next meet
