the executive board of the A. X. U. and

day to consider the treatment which the
Railway unions proposition to the Gen
eral Managers association received
earlier in the day. An informal discus-
sion Was followed by an adjournment
until 10 O'Clock tomorrow. The feeling
against the general managers was vsrv
bitter, but the conclusion was to wait
until the general managers had acted on
the proposition before taking any action
themselves.
The K. of L. representatives. at the

II the present proposition was ignored,
or rejected, the strike would be re-
newed with greater force and continued
until the railway people gave in. Ths
people had been appealing to the rail-
way union to atop the strike; hereafter
they must appeal to the railway man
ayers. The burden of further trouble
and loss Of business must rect on their
shoulders.
Mr.. Debs added there had been NO
relaxation OF the strike. 1t is in force
and would remain go until an sfirma-
tive answer comes from the general
managers. Ii such an answer were re-
ceived the strike would end in 20 min
utes. He minated that the union had
reserve forces which 1t could call into
action and that they would be felt iu
their full strength ii necessary. He
said labor unions were waiting patiently
to be called upon to join in sympa
thetic strike. and declared IL or Is were
with difficulty induced to wait until az

FIRE ALARM.

An alarm of fire was sounded Sun
day evening about half past seven
o'clock. The fire companies and citi-
zens were quick to respond, and rush
ed to the grocery stand of E. E. Rails
ton on East street; the fire was in the
cellar, and making rapid headway un-
til stream of water from the plug
quenched it. Mr.. Ralston had put
some coal on tie fire and hung his
lantern in the cellar way waiting for
the fire in the stove to burn a little
before putting on more coal. He and
other members of the family were talk
ing, when Mrs. Ralston said she heard
a roaring noise and smelled smoke.
The cellar door was opened and the
smoke and fire burst forth. Mr.. Rails
ton hurriedly closed the door and
sounded the alarm. Considerable
damage was done by the smoke and
water. The fire probably originated
from the explosion of the lantern.

March 5th. The title suggests coal
mines, mountain scenery and ponder
Gus machinery, and all these will be
found in "The Diamond Breaker"
for the author has chosen man.
moth diamond coal breaker as the
central scene for his drama.
To set huge machinery, with its
accompanying betting, shafting, pull
eys, revolving cables, coal cars, steel
cylinders, fly wheels, steam engine
and other necessary devices, require
the full stage area, and the scene is
SO presented that the breaker can be
seen from all parts of the theatre.
Running from the gigantic teeth of
the breaker is a chute which connects
with an elevated railroad track, over
which run the cars loaded with coal,
which is dumped down the chute and
crushed. In this scene a fierce
struggle takes place, and the hero is
knocked insensible by the villain and
thrown into the chute leading towards
the jaws of the breaker, and just as
his head seems about to be crushed
the heroine appears, and, leaping
from the railroad tracks, slides down
a pole to the ground and pulls the
helpless man away just in time to
save his life.

The Powers of School Boards.

DR.. Nathan c. Schaffer, superinten.
dent of public instruction, in answer
to numerous inquiries from teachers
and Others connected with public
schools, has decided that boards of
directors in the several townships Of
the commonwealth have full legal
authority to adopt and enforce such
reasonable and necessary rules and
regulations as they may deem proper
as sanitary measures. DR.. Schaeffer
says the directors may close the schools
temporarily wherein their judgment,it
is necessary to do so for the purpose
of protecting the children of the COM
munity from the dangers incident to
the prevalence of contagious and in
fectious diseases. They may also in
certain cases suspend children from
precautionary measure.
He further decides that the superin-
tendent of public instruction cannot
officially advise when and where
boards shall take such action as the
directors themselves, knowing all the
facts and circumstances governing in
dividual cases are competent to deter.
mine such questions for themselves.
There is no provision under existing
laws for the organization of boards OF
health in townships and the opinion Of
DIR. Sehaeffer is important just at this
time when scarlet fever, diphtheria and
other contagious diseases are epidemic
in various parts of the state.

THE NEW GYMNASIUM.
THE FINEST IN THE LAND.

The new Gymnasium at the Normal
School was opened with appropriate
ceremonies last week Thursday. Al
ter the close Of the exercises incident
to the presentation of the large flag
by the P. o. S. of A., the audience
went from the auditorium to the Gym
nasium, and filed every available
space. The running track was crowd
ed, and the sides of the first floor was
thickly lined with spectators. After
an opening piece by the school orches
ira, which by the way plays very well,
under the direction of Miss Haas, the
gymnastc exercises began with an ex
hibition by the boys class led by Prof.
Aldinger. This was followed by the
girls class, and then came some heavy
gymnastics on the German horse, par.
allel bars, vaulting bars, &c. The
most exciting part Of the program
was the game of basket ball between
members of the Philologian and CALI
epian Societies. A bushei basket was
hung at either end of the hall about
ten feet from the floor. Every time
that either side gets the ball in the
basket at the opposite end Of the hall
it counts three. The game is nearly
as exciting as foot ball, though not
quite as rough and dangerous. The
Philos were the first to land the ball
in the Callies' basket and a great
shout went up from the spectators.
But the Callies put the ball in the
Philo basket twice, and this with fouls
made the score 9 TO S at tn, end OF
the third inning, in favor of the form
er, and then the Callies and their
friends went wild and everybody
shouted.
The exercises were all very credtable
and considering the short time that
the students have had for practice,
were quite remarkable, and show the
excellent instruction of Prof. Aldingel
and his assistant. At 2:I5 p. m those
of the audience who were favored with
tickets, (and this included the alumni

Stage realism indeed will be seen
at the Opera House on Monday,
March 5th, when the "Diamond
Breaker" will be produced. This is a
spectacular melo-drama by Scott Mar
bic and is said TO surpass any of his
previous efforts. 1t is thoroughly
American and introduces several char
acters entirely new to the stage. There
is strong plot easily followed, in.
tensely dramatic situations ingeniously
conceived, a comedy element that is
original and extremely funny, and me-
chanical effects that will undoubtedly
prove the most startling of anything
yet attempted. In one act the entire
stage is mass of machinery weighing
nearly ten tons and in this act there is
an effect that will surely stir the audi
ence to enthusiasm. The hero is
knocked insenslble and thrown into a
chute, descending headirst in the
ponderous jaws OF the immense break
er, which has capacity for crushing
10, 900 tons of coal a minute, Two
car loads Of beautiful scenery will be

has been selected with unusual care,
