SCHOOL BOARD AFFAIRS.
Library Plans and Changes Submitted
at the Board Meeting Last Night.

The question of the purchase OF property
for school purposes was before the School
Board last night. The committee on build
ings and grounds recommended that the
proposition of ]. S. Cruise for property on
Lexington avenue, Reed and John streets
at $500 be accepted by the board. The
property has a frontage on Lexington ave-
nue. of 258 feet, on Reed and John streets
of 1919 feet. Commissioner Martindale ia
vored closing the deal last night and, after
discussion as to whether this could be done
under the rules, it was laid over till the
next meeting.
The committee on buildings and grounds
which had been ordered to bring in a re-
port at last nights meeting showing all
changes that had been made in the plans
and specifications of the library building
brought in the drawings and specifications.
Some of these were not mounted and, upon
the motion Of Commissioner Martindale,
the committee was ordered to have them
properly mounted for preservation. Com
missioner Coffin insisted that the report Of
the committee upon changes made be read.
The committee submitted the report of the
architects, Vonnegut & Bohn, which it
adopted as its report. The report was to
the effect that changes had been made
after consultation with the librarian, as
sistant secretary and the The
report was received and filed. The commit
tee on buildings and grounds also reported
that, in accordance with the requirements
Of the rules, they had visited the various
school buildings and reported that repairs
were needed on the various buildings to
the amount of $745. Under the rules the re-
port was laid over to the next meeting for
action. The report of the committee recon-
mending the claim of G. L. Williams for
Sl,365.97 be allowed was adopted.
The finance and auditing committee rec
commended that the president and secretary
be authorized TO sign notes for the purpose
of negotiating a temporary loan of $4,000,
the notes to be dated March l and payable
June 80, 1894. They reported that the board
had not enough money on hand to warrant
their ordering repairs on buildings where
repairs were badly needed. They also re-
ported a proposition from Z. F. Claypoo
to compromise his claim against the board
for 81, 500. The committee recommended an
offer of 81, 500. The board adopted both rec
concentrations of the committee. The treas
urer's report showed a balance in the treas
ury. on Feb. /, of SAT, 591. IS. The treasurer
was ordered TO pay warrants to the amount
of SO. 3q7. 81. Warrants were drawn during
the month of January as follows: Special
fund. $2O6. S3S. 20; library building fund, $50;
paw roll, $685.. u; manual school fund, s~l,529.6O:
Commissioner Scott, $1,000 was appropriated
from the special to the library building
fund in order to apportion the expense of
the two funds.
An Invitation to the School Board to at
tend the opening exercises of the Social
T,,rnyerein new building, on next Wednes-
day evening, was accepted.

COMMISSIONERS HEDGE AGAIN.
They Do Not Want to Mix Up with the
Unemployed.

Yesterday Afternoon the County Commits
sioners talked ali out the contemplated
stone-breaking plans with Mr.. Kramer, OF
the Board of Public Works. The commits
sioners nave about concluded that they 90
not care to undertake the enterprise be-
cause the city declines to take more than
1900 yards Of material. The commissioners
claim that they understood the city was
to usa all the stone the unemployed men
could break up. 1t is stimate by the
county board that thirteen hundred men
employed one day could easily dispose of
all the stone that the city could utilize,
and they think that it would not pay to
prepare the yards for the sale Of so small
an amount. Commissioner Reinecke yes
terday proposed that the city take charge
OF the work and carry IL on until spring.
He thought that an arrangement could be
made by which the city might employ the
men and make it's own schedule of wages.
The commissioner stated that the county
would furnish the money with which to
purchase the stone and pay for the labor.
THE city could accept 1t as a loan and pay
the funds next month. Mr.. Kramer thought
favorably of the plan, and will confer
with the Board of Works. 1t is under
syood that the board favors the use of
spring gravel rather than crushed stone
for road Improvement.

s~HOVELING THE SNOW.
What the Men Are DOing-A Foreman
Who Fell.

The results obtained by the relief COM
mittee from the work Of the unemployed
In clearing the streets Of the snow have
been much more satisfactory than those OBJ
tanned while the men were working at
Garfield Park. At Garfield Park the num-
Der Of the men was too great for the ex-
tent Of the ground worked, and the men
would hang back, expecting others to take
the initiative steps in working. But on
the streets each man knew that the streets
had to be cleared, and all knew that they
were under the observance of the public
eye, and they worked with greater earnest
ness and accomplished more. The greatest
difficulty that the committee experienced
was the furnishing of tools for the men to
work with, and II also had much difficulty
IN getting men to do the work. When the
orders were first issued that the
would give work to all that would apply at
the hood market great numbers were ex-
pected, but, TO the committees great sur
prise, only a few beyond the usual number
worked at Garfield Park responded: 1t was
known that the excessive cold would neceS-
state greater efforts than before on the
part of the needy TO keep hunger away
from the door, but seemingly this was not
the case in general. There were a number
of applications for help on account Of the
extreme weather, but being told their work
relief could be given a number went away
rather than earn food In this way. Only
q lew cases are reported where the EN-
ployed disappeared with the tools.
The men on the work are Industrious and
honest, with only a few exceptions. This
fact Is illustrated by an incident that oc-
CURED on the streets yesterday. A number
or the men were working near q saloon.
and the foreman of the gang was as indus
triouS as his men. But as they were work
ing steadily along the owner of the saloon
called to the foreman and promised him
that If he would clear his sidewalk of the
srOw he would make II all right with him
in drinks. AS he was cold and benumbed
from working in the snow for several hours
the thoughts OF a warm drink were very
tempting. After a little hesitation he saw
that the sidewalk was cleared and in re-
turn received several drinks of whisky. He
proved TO be a man who could not stand
the effects of whisky, and was soon in an
intoxicated condition. His men saw the
condition OF their foreman, but did not re-
port the fact to the committee. Intead,
they elected one Of the gang to act as fore
man and the work proceeded smoothly
along. However, the drunken foreman was
noticed by others, and ii was reported to
the committee. who soon after discharged
him. The men demonstrated, saying that
the temptations Of a warm drink while one
was cold and benumbed were very great,
and as they had showed no resentment
they did not see any reason why the COM
niittee should do so.

to Kill Herself.

Nettie Mcbride, aged sixteen years, living
at No. 44 West Washington street, at
tempted suicide yesterday morning shortly
before noon by taking a heavy dose of
morphine. About two weeks ago her father,

ing his daughter over Il year ago. Pa
trolman Kiinple saw the girl a short time
after she hid been placed in a safe condi-
ton by DR.. EisenbeissS, and asked her the

so heavily upon her mind that she had
taken the drug with the intention of put
ting her mind in such Il condition as TO
cause her to forget her troubles for the
time being, though without any intention
of Self-destruction. She at last admitted
that suicide was her real motive.

Patrolnan Corrigan yesterday arrested
Simon Krasolsky for fast driving. In the
afternoon Corrigan glanced north on Penn
sylvania street in the direction of the New
Denison Hotel and saw two parties in
sleighs racing with such speed that the
lives of many people were endangered. Or
arriving at Washington street Krasolsky
was stopped by Corrigan, who demanded
his reason for driving so fast. The reply
was that his horse had become frightened
and uncomfortable on account of the cleo
trio cars. He was allowed to pass on, but
gan was informed by a witness of the affair
that the parties had really been racing.
Krasolsky was soon found and put under
arrest

STYLES IN CARRIAGES.
New Patterns In Pleasure Vehicles For
This Season.
ISpec;al Correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence
Boston, May 14.-This is the time when
users of pleasure carriages are considering
what they shall add to their stock in the
way of something new for summer driv-
ing, and it requires careful consideration,
for the use of pleasure carriages is as rigid
ly controlled by the dictates Of fashion as
dress, and the reasons are as marked.
AS in all of fashions realm, something
new is necessary, and those who keep pace
with the fashionable world buy the latest
styles in pleasure carriages that every sea-
son are brought out By the leading makers.
A look through the representative carriage
manufactures shows that there is consid-
cradle change in the standard lines as well
as an unusually fine line Of novelties in
traps, etc, for this summers use.
In traps are found the distinctly new
styles, for this class admits of more new
designs than the standard types of brough-
ans, victoIias and similar styles. The
newest ideas, however original in effect,
SO long as they do not outrage good taste,
take the popular fancy.
Within the past few years there has been
o strong rivalry among the manufacturers
of these vehicles to attain greater perfec-
ton in the automatic seat arrangements,
and the devices have been innumerable for
the easy changing of these traps from four
TO two passenger, and vice versa. Perfec-
ton has been so far reached that now a
child may change the positions of the seats
by the simplest and easiest OF movements.
