report of the teachers committee. The
committee recommended that with re-
gard to the communication from the
Grand Army of the Republic relating

tion in the public schools, the matter

w. j. Welsh stated that continual
complaints were made to him of the
stencil OF the lard factory which was
prejudicial to the health of the teachers
and pupils in the preparatory school on
Wyoming avenue. The smell in the
school was disgusting and it was sur
prising how the teachers aud pupils
could remain in the school He asked
MT. ChrT, Ol tue ldTu IaCIOry, II
he could not do away with the stencil,
but he simply laughed and said "if the
school board can compel me to remove
the smell then | will and no sooner"
The nuisance was an outrage to the dis
triet. 1t was proposed that the matter
be referred to the building committee
with power to act.
After a lively debate and cross-fre
conversation the motion was carried by
a vote of 7 to 6 9. S. Jacobs read the
report of the supply committee and
various accounts were ordered to be
paid.
1t was resolved that school No 20 be
rented from Mr.. Rockingham for the
ensuing year for the sum of 5000, with
ample security for fire insurance, etc.
The question of No. 30 retaining wall
was referred to the building committee
to report at the next meeting. The

FORTY ARE KILLED.
Terrible Railway Disaster in France
No Americans We're Among
the Victims.

PARIS, September 10-The disaster
to the Paris and Cologne express train
at Apilly, between Noyon and Chauny,
Yesterday. was more serious than at
first supposed The first estimates
placed the number of persons killed
at ten, with twenty injured. 1t is now
stated that from forty TO sixty persons
were killed or injured. The bodies OF
twelve dead persons have already been
taken from the wreck. The minister
of public works, NJ. Barthou and 6
number Of railway officials have gone
to the scene of the accident.
1t is known that the accident was due
to the slow 'shuuting of freight train
at Apilly. The engineer Of the express
train saw the cars on the track, and re-
versed his engine, reducing the speed
of his train and thereby saving mum.
ber OF lives. The shock Of the collision
was very great, but the three front
cars sustained the brunt of the dam
age.
As soon as the accident became
known number of priests and physi-
clans hurried to the railroad station
and did everything possible to assist
the injured and dying travellers Ter
rible scenes were witnessed when the
railroad officials and Others began to
clear away the wreck. Several of the
dead were frightfully mangled, and
some had their heads severed from their
badies.
1t was reported, soon after the acci
dent occurred, that the station -master
at Apilly had committed suicide by
jumping in front of the express train
when he saw that collision was in
evitabls. This was not true. He ran
along the track trying to signal to the
freight train which was in its way and
was caught between the two trains and
killed.
According to last accounts, there
were no Americans among tho killed
or injured.

Judge Archibald Hands Down an opIn-
ion Opening Judgment.

Avn SpShihk ouuBuueuts
The rule to opsn judgment in the
case Of jenkins township, Pttston
township and Pittston borough VS..
George G. Reinhardt, Joseph Hannick,
Michael Hannick, Michael Lally and
j. +. Taylor, WAS made absolute in II
lengthy opinion handed down yester-
day by Judge Archibald.
In 1892 Reinhardt was elected tax
collector of Old Forge township, and
the other defendants became his bonds
men in the sum OF $685. 600 Reinhardt
defaulted and his bondsmeu refused to
indemnify the complainants, dupli-
cate aggregating 81, ,6O4 80 being placed
by them in the hands of Reinhardt for
collection. The case has been hotly
con tested for the past two years in
court.
The extract of Judge Archbal's rul-
ing in which he makes the rule to
open judgment absolute is as follows:
The rule to show cause why the judg-
ment, as to the sum Of S4, 6D4 02, marked TO
the use Of the directors of the poor dis
trict Of Jenkins township, Pittston

VICTORY FOR MISS GILBERT.
Alderman's Docket Did Not Specify That
offense Was Committed on Sunday,

Alderman's Docket Did Not Specify That
offense Was Committed on Sunday
The opinion of Judge Archibald
handed down yesterday in the case
against Miss Emma Colbert. defendant
in suit arising from the violation of
the Sabbath law was victory for Miss
Colbert.
When Alderman Post decided against
Miss Colbert Il certiorari was taken
and after transcript from the alder
mans docket was brought into court,
her attorney raised the point that
there was no case against her on the
ground that the record did not specify
whether or not the offense against the
statute was committed on Sunday, or
words to that effect.
1t simply complained that on the 9th
day of May, 1894, the defendant had
ner place of business open and did GER
tain specific worldly business contrary
to the act of April 90, 1894
The pith of Judge Arch pald's opinion
ls summed mp in the following brief
extract: The act so referred to is the
well-known Sunday law, but there is
nothing in the complaint to suggest
that the 9th day Of May was Sunday.
This is the very essence Of the charge
and without 1t no violation Of the law
is made out"
