SOLDIERS TO RETURN
GOVERNOR WILL TO-DAY ORDER
MILITIA FROM SULLIVAN.
New Albany and Washington Com
panies Left Yesterday-Mines Mt
Alum Cave Now Operated.

Acknowledgement Robbins last night re-
ceived a dispatch from General Mckee, at
Shelburn, stating that the New Albany
and Washington companies left for their
homes in the afternoon. He says the mines
at Alum Cave were started yesterday with
out any disturbance whatever, and that
four carloads of coal were mined and
shipped from Star City. The operators
say that all the old miners who want TO
WELD the pick in the mines will be given
work throughout the county when the
whistle blows this morning.
The Governor was indisposed last even
ing and retired early, and, for the first
time in several weeks, with a mind COM
paratively at ease. He said that the or
dering in Of the New Albany and Washing
ton companies would probably be followed
to-day by an order directing the few re-
naming troops to return home. There was
every sign of continued quiet, he said, and
he felt con6dent there would be no further
trouble, and that most of the mines would
resume work In a few days. No further
attempt at invasion on the part of Kelly's
towns, and the Governors prospect for a
good nights rest was excellent.
There seems to be some question as to
how the money to pay the militia Is to be
raised. The State funds for this purpose
are at low ebb, but the soldiers will get
their money, even If the Governor has to
arrange matters himself.

their ways feeling very much under the
weather. The arrival OF last nights meet
ing was awaited with forebodings. The ap-
pointment of the school trustee was made
the last thing In the order Of business.
The member learned from citizens assem-
oled that Charles Trotter, who was one OF
The previous candidates. was still willing
70 accept the appointment. A motion was
as treasurer of the School Board. The last
part of the motion put a new phase ON
the question. Wood Garfield, who is the
outgoing member, was the School Boards
treasurer. John King, one of the school
trustees, sprang to his feet and said that
the town board had the power to appoint
a. school trustee, but not TO say who should
act as treasurer of the board. The men,
bers OF the town board thought they had,
and asked the opinion of their attorney,
and this called forth protest from the citi-
zens assembled. Squire Martin, VINO was
never known TO make a. speech at a town
board meeting, succeeded in balancing him
That the board had that power. A law
book was seized and attorney Edenharter
perused its contents. He read several chap
tiers which he claimed gave the town board
power to make such an appointment. Sew
eral ex-trustees, whose political lights have
failed, rose TO their feet and said the town
board would be usurping power if it took
such action. President BILLY" Grelner
smiled exulting at the compliment.
Trustee Patterson made a motion that
tee and also treasurer of the School Board.
Attorney Edenharter said he was willing
to take the responsibility upon himself IL
the action was wrong, and the motion was
his throne and Charles Trotter wandered
to his home, fully conscious that he was
travelling in a Nancy Hanks gait on the
road to a bright political future.

TR0TTER is H MAN.
He Will Risk His Reputation on the
Haughville School Board.

The Haughvi1le town board met last night
and considered bids for nine hundred feet
OF fire hose and fixtures. The contract was
awarded the Eureka Fire Hose Com
pany. Of Chicago. which bid $500. Several
meetings ago Robert Thompson was ap-
pointed school trustee to fill the vacancy
caused by the expiration Of Wood Can
fields term of Office. There was appar-
emily much rivalry for the appointment.
and when Thompson received it he was
profuse in his thanks. However, the feel
ing OF joy was soon passed and Mr.. Thomp-
son saw that the position was not what
1t was reputed TO be. He the
reputation of the previous School Board,
and, to make matters worse, III began TO
feel that its reputation was likely TO lower
his own. Accordingly. he sent in his res
ignaticn to the town board. The latter an
nounced to the citizens that Thompson's
qualifications were not what they should
be. and for that reason the board decided
to accept his resignation.
Ambitious disappointed candidates then
saw another opportunity for Office. and
many declared they were willing to sacri-
fee their time and business TO serve. John
Lovett proved TO be the fortunate individ-
ual. and he did as his predecessor, an
~nouncing that he was much delighted with
the honor. The members OF the town board
went home that night feeling exuberant,
but, TO their chagrin. the next morning they
ran up against a rumor that Lovett had
changed his mind and no longer saw that
the position conferred upon him the night
before was an honor. TIL members made
themselves tired trying to locate Lovett,
and at last found him taking matters cool
ly. n fully aware hat he was a much
sought-after Individual. He was asked If
the report was true, and Mr.. Lovett re-
piled with a bland smile that IL was. The
members wanted n reason, but they could
get no satisfaction. The members went

AMERICAN PATENT SYSTEM.
Joseph A. Minturn Lectures Before the
Science Club.

Joseph A. Minturn read a paper upon
the Growth and Importance of the Amer
lean Patent System before the Science
Club last night. He said the act OF inven-
ton was purely a mental process requir-
ing a vivid imagination that can look
ahead from the known to the unknown.
The inventor has a higher natural right
to his invention than the owner OF real
estate. The only two reasonable methods
Of reward to the inventor are either to
give him a gross sum as a reward for his
invention or grant him letters patent. To
the former is the objection that it can
not always be determined at the start
what an invention may be worth. He also
discussed the question of the right of the
State TO deprive the inventor Of a per-
petual monopoly in his invention and
grant him instead a monopoly for a limit
ed number Of years. This right Of the
State was maintained on the ground OF
ton from infringement afforded by the
State during the period of the letters
patent.
He said IL was eminently Just that the
patent should be granted only TO the orig
inal inventor and not the introducer, as
was the practice under the British patent
laws. The distinctive feature of the Amer
lean system, which Mr.. Minturn thought
had done more than any other one thing
to promote the wonderful Industrial growth
of the country, was the system of examin-
be new and useful. and the patent is
sought by the original inventor. He then
gave a brief historical sketch Of the Amer
lean patent system.

THE SAME OLD CAT
CONTINUES TO WARRANT THE PUB
Lie IN "KAPING AN EYE- ON 1T.
Frenzel Tries to Rush Through Build
ing Contracts Before the New
Board Comes In.

Frenzel dies hard. Now that his job with
the School Board is about at an end, he
wants to control the actions Of the new
board to as far an extent as the present
board can bind 1t by action aiken. A spe-
cial meeting Of the board was called for
last night TO consider the report of the
buildings and grounds committee in favor
of the erection OF certain school buildings.
Frenzel wanted to have all the plans APP
proved by the present board and get the
business into such shape that all the new
board can do will be TO build the houses,
without having anything TO say as TO the
plans and specifications under which they
are to be erected. This would have been
done last night but for the fact that the
plans which were to be adopted are locked
up in a drawer in the desk of Superintend-
ent Jones, and he is out of the city. This
made it necessary to call another special
meeting for next Monday night, and make
the report of the buildings and grounds
committee a special order for that occasion.
This was done upon the motion of Com
missioner Conner.
The buildings proposed by the committee
to be built are an eight-room building at
Capitol avenue and Twentieth street; two
room addition to No. %; four-room build
ing at Keystone avenue and Michlgan street
and a four-room building at Lexington
avenue and State street. Mr.. Conner pro-
posed that the plans be drawn for twelve
room buildings at Capitol avenue and Twen-
tieth street and on Lexington avenue, and
an eight-room building on keystone avenue.
He favored having THE plans made thus,
though all of the rooms were not built
this year.
Treasurer Adam was given authority TO
rent a safety deposit box in which to de-
post the notes of the School Board for
the Manual Training School, which fall
due on July /, 1895 and 1886.

CONTRACTORS SIDE OF 1T.
He Explains Some of the Numerous
Garbage Complaints.

0aH oaSC
In compliance with the request of Presi-
dent Wildman, Mr.. Jameson, who holds the
contract for the removal of garbage. ap-
peared before the Board of Works yester-
day morning. His attention was called to
the numerous complaints which had come
into the office of the Board of Health of
the nonremoval of garbage. He said many
of the complaints were unjust, and made
when the driver was on his way to the
premises to remove garbage, and after the
garbage was removed nothing was said
about it. In other cases, he said, when the
driver appeared at the house he found no
one at home and could not find the gar
bage. He said IN cases where there was no
one present to pay for the removal the
collector was not bound to take the gar
bage, as the contractor was not required TO
move it for nothing. He thought it was
possible that collectors occasionally missed
a house. but it was unintentional. as the
company desired to haul all of the gar
bage there was. as that was the way it
expected to make money. About twenty
reports are received by the company each
day of persons who refuse to pay for the
removal of the garbage, or who have not
proper receptacles for it. The company will
discharge drivers who refuse to take gar
bage or are impudent or impolite TO house
holders. Inc company now mas twenty
wagons in use, and Will increase the num-
Der If these are not sufficient.
President Wildman said the terms of the
contract must be strictly complied with.
Mayor Denny said he was tired of having
the complaints pour in by the score, and
something must be done to get the garbage
out of the way. 1t was finally agreed that
the company should issue TO the house,
holders the lists required by the terms of
their contract, showing the days upon
which they would make collections in the
different districts. This they, have hereto
fore failed TO do. 1t was also agreed by
the contractor that he would establish
an office and maintain a telephone. Com
plants can be made to the office. and in
case the householder is not at home when
the collector calls he will leave a. card
again. All refusals to give up garbage
Will be reported to the Board of Health
and removed upon the order OF that board
as a sanitary precaution.

Garbage on the Street.

Yesterday morning Charles Syerup. a
South Delaware-street commission mer-
chant, came before the Board of Public
Works and complained that the sweeping
contractor refused to haul away the dirt
after it was swept into piles upon the
street. The sweeping contractor claimed
that the commission men swept their refuse
into the street, and he did not think he
was required TO haul away decayed veg
etable matter from the houses. The board
will ascertain who is liable for the removal
of the dirt and see that 1t is hauled away
by the contractor or the commission men
or the garbage man.
