crease of teachers salaries, it is said two
designations of teachers have been received
John NJ. Connolly has been receiving.
81 POO as q teacher of mathematics at the
High school. He asked for an increase to
81 800. The board last night recommended
him 81 $50. William F. O'Connor had been
an efficient teacher of Greek and compo-
sition. He also was in charge of the dis
cipline. He received salary of 81, $50
and said the lowest he could teach for this
year would be 81 $50. The board last
night recommended a salary of 81 200. 1t Is
announced unofficially that the designations
of both these gentlemen, when they heard
of the action of the board, were rendered
this morning. When enquiry was made
at their residence, 30 Abbott avenue, this
afternoon neither could be found. The
landlady said that Mr. Connolly had gone
to his home in New Hampshire and Mr.
O'Connor to his home in Springfield
Rev ]. A. Mulcahy, chairman of the
board of education, said late this after
noon that far he knew Messrs Con
molly and O'Connor had not rendered their
designations, and he hoped they would not
be allowed to go, as they are two of the
brightest and most talented teachers we
have ever had.

His right hand got drawn in on a polish

from the accident. DIR Frost attended

statute in effect January l. 1894, re-
quires every sleeping room in hotel or

ted rope, half an inch or more in diameter,
or other better fire escapes, and it is the
duty of the inspector of buildings on July
to investigate and see that the law is

People around Exchange place were
treated to quite an exhibition this after
noon. When the men engaged IN tearing
up the paving block in the street bad
reached point in front of Lake u
Strobers they started to pile the paving
blocks on the sidewalk in front of the en-
trance to the store. The proprietors COM
planned to Mr. Brown, who Immediately
put John McLinden to work removing the
blocks. Mr. McLinden rolled up his shirt
sleeves and commenced putting the blocks
out onto the street. The Italian who was
engaged in piling the blocks upon the side
walk seeing this, commenced to work all
the harder and it was amusing to see the
Italian pick up paving block and plant II
down on the sidewalk to be instantly
snatched up and hurled back by Mr. Nc
Linden. Finally the Telephone Cos men
seeing their man was about to give out put
on a couple more men and in n few min

caring to employ extra help decided to
| give up the contest.

THEY WANT THE EARTH.
The City Asked to Pay $50, 900 For the
Bronson Library Property.

The City Asked to Pay S35 900 For the
Bronson Library Property.
Mayor Kilduff, Aldermen Barlow and
Halpin, Councilmen Boylan, Tracy and
PilIlng. representing the city, and A. s.
Chase, F. j. Kingsbury, John ONeill. S.
w. Kellogg and L. A. Plat. representing
the Bronson library board of agents, held
a meeting last night in reference to the
proposed plan for the purchase of the
Bronson library property on West Main
street, by the city.
Mr. O'Neill explained that the agents
had discussed the matter and authorized
the sale of the property to the city for
$50, 900. He said that 4 good many
thought that the library had an inexhausti-
BILE fund. This is mistake. Its ex-
penses now are over 81 900 year. When
the new building will be completed the
fund will be reduced to less than 5000, 900.
He did not see how the fund could be re-
plenlshed except by the sale of the prop
erty unless some one should bequeath
5000, 900 to the library.
Mayor Kilduff thought the property
should belong to the city. By the gift of
the lot on Grand street. he said, the library
had been saved about 1000.
Mr. O'Neill asked if that place ever be-
longed to the city.
The mayor said the city mad spent
SIS. 900 fixing it up.
Mr. kingsbury said it cost more to build
the library on Grand street than it would
have cost to build it on Church street. On
the latter street as the building can be seen
from the street they had to build more
fancy one.
Councilman Tracy said there was no one
in the room who would pay $40, 900 for the
land.
Mr. Kingsbury said the agents had an
offer of $25, 900 for it.
Mr. O'Neill said the city could put up a
| building for the accommodation of all the
city officials. He thought the agents
would loan the city enough money to put
up suitable building on the land if the
city would offer them five per cent for the
use of the money.
General kellogg talked of the need OF
more room accommodations about the
City hall and quoted Judge Hammersly as
saying that there never would be a su.
perior court here so long as the building
| remained in its present shape.
Mr. Tracy thought it too bad about the
| Judge. He comes here and gets $50 a day
The aldermen and councilmen spend a
| good deal of tine in the same place with.
| out any compensation.
The agents refused to consider q condi.
tional offer of $25, 900. Mr. O'Neill then
made proposition to the effect that the
city lease the place until the grass ceased
to gre W and the water to run, at an annual
rental of 50, 900.
The representatives of the city decided
to bring the matter before the council
Monday night.

JUDGE ROOTS HOUR.
Bonds Placed at 50 900 in the Case of the
Chinaman, Moy Chung.

Bonds Placed at 50 1000 in the Case of the
Chinaman, Moy Chung.
Robert Parmley for drunkenness got SIS
without costs this morning..
William Mitchell, Is years of age. was
charged with stealing three bushels of
wood from Mary Munger. She and one of
her neighbors saw the boy bring the wood
into his own house and they knew he had
no wood in his cellar. The boys mother
said she was ont working and did not
know of the theft. Her boys, she said, did
not help her in any way. Attorney Lavler,
who was appointed the boys guardian.
appealed for him but Judge Root gave him
81 without costs and 10 days in Jail.
Edward Flynn. aged twenty years, was
also defended by Attorney Lawlor. He
drove his hack upon the Brooklyn bridge
yesterday, although he saw an ice wagon
crossing. As there was only one passage
way and the ice team could not back off.
planks had to be laid to let them pass
When Officer Mccarthy rebuked Flynn he
insulted the officer with vile epithetS. He
was fined 81 and costs.
The case of Moy Chung was again con-
tinued until Tuesday morning and the wit
nesses were ordered to appear without
further notice. Chung had not recovered
his self composure. His friends. Sam
Sing, his partner; Moy Fay You, the IN
terprtter from New York, and jim Fuzzy
Moy, NJ. D., of % Saint Marks Place, n.
Y. were present The last named is col
lege educated and refused to give his name
or why he came up on the case. 1t is very
evident from the preparations going on
that Chung will make a strong fight and
is sparing no expense to free himself. At
torney Lawlor. who was engaged on the
case asked that suitable bond be fixed
as the injured boy was out of danger.
Attorney Russell argued that the doctor
said the boy was not out of danger and
that So 900 bonds should be fixed. Attor-
ney Lawlor said his client could not Sc
cure that bond. Judge Root said he could
not think of fixing it lower than 5000.

Won der Abe made great mistake in
releasing Catcher Buckley. He lost the
game of Thursday by putting Miller be-
hind the bat.
Nichols made his fist wild pitch of the
season on Thursday.
Lowe failed to make hit Thursday for
the first time in fifteen games.
Even the Louisvilles can beat the Phila-
delphias, in the latter's present condition.
Arthur Irwin charges that the Pennsyl-

pose of selling their releases.
Robinson of Baltimore will be unable
to catch for a week. In the second in
ming of the game at Chicago, Thursday,
he caught foul tip on the end of his
thumb. and the force of the ball split the
flesh in two places where the thumb joins
the hand. making and ugly and painful
wound This leaves the club with but one
catcher, Clarke. Any other man on the

Robinson.

BELIEVING

that the unusual conditions of trade make
it unwise to defer clearing out sales until
after July 4th. the ordinary time. we have
already run the knife through prices, with
the purpose of getting our stock down by
July list. where ordinarily it would not be
until about the middle of August. Cost
has absolutely not been considered in this
reduction, simply the fact that we have
the goods and ability to change them for
money in so short time, depends en-
tirely upon the extraordinary inducements
we can offer to purchasers. Bring in your

We could not reasonably expect our
customers to believe usif we were to adver-
tise to sell dollar goods for twenty-five
cents and fifty cent goods for ten cents.
We never yet advertised any goods We did
not have, nor Intentionally misled anyone,
so 'tis not to be wondered at that when we
advertise special lines of goods, our pat
rons respond to the ad, knowing that they
will find the goods as represented. Friday
morning we shall put on sale three entirely
new lines of Wash Dress Fabrics, all at
1910 per yard; of the different fabrics, two
are goods made to be sold for Csc. The
first is called Toll du Jouy. 1t has the
| look of an imported Irish Linen, printed
in small figures, also in stripes. Some of
the most delicate tints. producing very
handsome and stylish effects, some of the
patterns are just the thing for whole suits,
others for waists, and still others for
children's wear.
The second lot of Wash Goods that we
shall open on Friday consists of fifteen
| different patterns, satin, dimities, that
will be sold for 12Ic per yard. They are
as handsome and cool looking as can be,
will make up to look like goods costing n
great deal more money. We anticipate
that they will be appreciated at this price
and sell quickly.
| ings in printed Lawns that we had tive
weeks ago? Well. those are sold and We
have received within day or two another
| lot which will be sold at 12ac per yard.
On Friday we shall open a lot of very
fine Printed Satines, goods that were
made to be sold for 25c, these will all go
at 12ac.
One look at the quality of these cloths
| will convince any person familiar with the
goods that we are telling nothing but the
truth in regard to them.
We shall not be able to duplicate any of
these four lots of Wash Goods at prices
quoted. The season for Wash Goods is in
its prime.
The time never was when as desirable
goods could be bought as now.
