The trolley wire for the extension Of

ings over the railroads at the lower
ond OF the line are being put in. The
trouble over the gravity crossing of the
Delaware and Hudson company is said
to have been settled, but as yet no eff
fort has been made to cross. Every

company will not interfere.
An adjourned session of the school
board was held on Monday evening for
the purpose Of hearing the report of

to TIE improvements at the unRradod

would best servo the purpose. an add
tion to the old building or the erection
Of an additional one on the same lot,
would be done. The secretary was
then directed to advertise for proposals
for both plans. and whatever will be
the most practicable and least expen-
sive will b0 adopted. The sanitary
condition Of the graded building was
also considered and steps will be taken
to remove or change tho closet system
now in use. The present condition of
tho school from sanitary point of
view is far from satisfactory, and so
many complaints hnvs been heard con.
cernins it that the board feels justified
in making a change for the batter.
This matter will be further consider ed
at tho next meeting of the board.
The people OF this place were startled
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock by the
explosion Of magazine containing q
quantity Of giant powder which was
located near No. mine of the Delaware
and Hudson company. The powder
was part of a lot being used by Con-
tractor Duggan. who is blasting rock in
the mine What caused the powder to
explode is not definitely known, but it
is supposed to have been over
heated by the fire In the
building. The concussion caused by
the explosion was so great that
houses more than half q mile away
were shaken by its force. Some of the
houses nearby were badly damaged,
particularly those of Henry Simon and
Philip Burhan, and nearly every house
on the hill had glass, deli and like ar
ticles broken. The house which the
powder was stored was blown to atoms.
Fortunately there was no one near the
building at the time.

his wife missing. Surmising that she
was at Xanlo's house, WynAck went in

humiliation, he defended himself until
overpowered by the large odds against
him.
Wynack fell PROSTATE on the floor.
His assailnnts not content with the
