1t is known that members Of the Board OF
Education have had under consideration for the
office of Superinten lent of Schools the names
of several men who have made high regulations
as superlntendents in other cities while there
is an element in the Board that stands firmly
by Superintendent Jasper and will listen to no
suggestion that he be set aside. New-York City
is Enthusiastically entitled TO the services of the
best man who can be found for this most i'm
portant office and considerations of length Of
service and political influence should not be per-
mitted to weigh In such a matter. That Mr..
Jasper has done his best may be admitted with
out question; that he has raised the schools to
q high degree of efficiency will be claimed by no
one The time has come when he should make
way for an ADLER man, though as a member of
the Board Of superintendent the city may still
have the benefit of his experience and I'M
doubted ability.
Try az he may, David Il. Hill cannot see any.
thing but gloom before his eyes as lie cOnter-
plates the approaching end of his term and estl-
mates the chances Of his reelection. The pres
ent Senate with its large Republican majority
holds over. The present Assembly contains 103
Republicans and Al Democrats. TO gain ma
iorty on joint ballot the Democrats must elect
next November not less tudu o. ASSeluDy lutu,
which. with the IA Senators they have would
give them a total Of 101 But what prospect
have they Of making gains at that rate? None
at all apparently. One hazards little in making
the positive prediction that the next United
States Senator from the Empire State will be
Republican. D. B. Hill will become a private
citizen on the 4th Of March, 1874 sensation
he has not experienced since December, 1882,
just after he was elected Northumberland
by the largest majority ever cast for a candidate
in this State
From the present outlook it appears probable
that the Democratic State Convention, which is
to meet at Saratoga In the latter part of June,
will instruct its delegates to the National Con-
Nvention 10 support Mr.. William c. Whitney as
a candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Whitney
Is ''sound-money' man and would not be ac-
ccptable to the free-sivertes, but nevertheless
he may have chance Of the nomination on
platform that looks both ways, as any platform
must that is SO framed as TO prevent rupture
In the ranks of the party. 1t is not yet certain
how things will shape themselves at Saratoga,
and the course Of events at Chicago is still more
hard to discern. The Democracy Is more at sea

SCRANTONIANS AT OCEAN GROVE.
Large Number Will Spend the Sum.
mer Months There.

Possibly the most popular seashore
summer resort with Scranton business
men and their families is Ocean Grove.
This resort Is the quietest and. most
homelike on the Atlantic coast, and at
the same time offers as much amuse-
ment as any Of the Others. The unique
and world-famed board walk promen-
ade, is to the ordinary Ocean Grove
visitor a source of ofnever-ending wonder
ment and delight. Nowhere else on the
Jersey coast. except perhaps, Atlantic
City, may be seen such moving pano-
rama of life, so varied and cosmopolitan.
The fishing pier, which extends way
out into the deep, Is the mecca for ang-
lers. This pier is often literally COW
cred with hopeful followers Of Ike
Walton. During the band concerts in
the evening, 1t Is no uncommon sight
to see thirty thousand people con-
gregated in the immediate vicinity Of
the board walk and pavilion. Motion
is the chief characteristic Of the throng.
Everybody moves, and the steady
tread of the thousands on the surface Of
the board walk sounds like the passing
of vast army.
w. II. Stevens and G. r. Clarke. Of
this city, have. been instrumental in
making the Grove popular with Scran-
tonians. They own several cottages
ther, which they rent, mostly to Scran-
ton people for different periods during
the season. Among the well-known
Scrantonians now at Ocean Grove are:
p. B. Finley, Tallie Morgan and family,
Wade NJ. Finn and family. H. T. Camp
bell and family, r. T. Black and wife.
S. c. Hessler and family, Mrs. Frances
Vail. Colonel Hitchcock and family
will spend the month Of August at the
Grove

D. m. while rounding the curve near
the Cayuga breaker last night, run
down four year old girl, Blodwen
Jones. who with her parents was cross
ing the tracks on their way home from
the picnic of Cayuga Accidental fund in
Brisbin grove.
The little ones skull was fractured
and her left arm broken near the
shoulder. She was alive at midnight,
but there is little or no hope of her re-
covery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones and their child.
rem were standing beside the track
waiting for q north bound freight train
to pass and as soon as the last car had
gone by little Blodwen ran across ahead
of the others. She had just reached the
opposite track when the passenger
train, which none of them had noticed,
came laundering along down the grade,
and striking the child hurled her high
in the air and landed her bleeding and
crushed almost at her mothers feet.
The little one was picked up. and
being still alive was hastily carried
home, where Drs. w. d. DOnne and w.
W. Jenkins were summoned to attend
her. They thought there was no pos
sibility Of her recovery.

fiEpTASOpnS WILL CELEBRATE.
Joint Excursion to Harvey's Lake on
HeptasOphs' Day.

Committees from the various con-
claves Of Heptasophs in this city and
vicinity met last evening to hear re-
ports from committees appointed at a
preliminary meeting last week, when 1t
was decided to celebrate Heptasoph Day
by running a joint excursion to Har-
vey's Lake, Aug. 2s. 1t was announced
that the transportation arrangements
had been made with the Lehigh Valley
railroad company, andthat train will
leave Carbondale on the morning Of
that day connecting with the regular
excursion train at the Delaware and
Hudson station In this city, and take
on Heptasophs and their friends all
along the line to Wilkes Barre.
The fare has been placed at the low
rate Of one dollar for the round trip
from Scranton to the Lake, which Is
much less than has heretofore prevailed,
the idea being to give the members Of
the order a chance to hold a reunion
The committee in direct charge Of ar
rangements is Frank Thompson. George
F. Weeks and Edward d. Jones, who
expect to take even a larger crowd than
that which accompanied the Heptasophs
two years ago on their great Glen Onoko
excursion.

GOLIGHTLY'S RUSE.
Pleaded Sickness and in That Way
Managed to Get Out Of Alderman's
Differentiated for Arson.

You might think we're running a
lodging house here. but 1t isn't So"
said Alderman Howe yesterday. There
was an object that appeared to be a
man cuddled up on the floor in one cor
ner Of the room. Just then the object
arose and coming forward to the desk
said.
"Oh. alderman I'm awful sick. let me
out to get a breath of pure air."
He reeled to the door. which was OPEN
ed for him by NJ. Howe, and he walked
down the hallway to the lavatory.
He'd be all right II he could get some
of that liquor out of him." said the al
it," spoke the constable
In about 30 seconds they went out to
see if the man had got the fresh air.
and they found that he had all he could
breathe of it. He was out in the air
somewhere and they did not know just
where he was.
Thomas Golightly Is the man they
want. He was arrested on the charge
of attempting to burn John Meats house
on Walsh street, Providence. on account
of some bother that arose between them.
The siding Of Meats house was scorch-
ed in several places where kerosene
had been applied and a match given
to it. The prosecutor had not appeared
at the hearing and 1t was while waiting
for him to come that Golightly left the
office

Warrant Sworn Out for Fred Kellerma o
for Striking John B0land
with q Stone.

Fred Kellerman, Of the South Side,
was committed to the county Jail yes-
terday afternoon. charged with aggra-
waited assault and battery upon John
Boland. the result Of which IL said to
be that Boland Is in a dying condition.
The warrant was sworn out by the
wounded mans wife before Alderman
]. W. Millett, OF the Sixth ward. kel-
lerman was taken to the central police
station and was given a hearing by AL
derman Millett, who committed him
without bail to await the result Of Bo-
lands injuries.
On the Fourth OF July the Bolands
and the Kellermans had been drinking
and In the evening a fight started.
Stones were thrown, and one Of them
struck Boland on the forehead, Telling
him to the ground. The latest report
does not make the case serious one,
although the warrant sworn out by Mrs.
Boland sets forth that her husband
Is dying.
Kellerman denies that he threw the
stone which struck Boland. and blames
1t on his brother, Peter, who has left
town

MAY HAVE BEEN REGAIN.
Report Reaches This City to Effect
That He Was Killed.

The relatives Of John c. Regan, whose
home Is at 265 Railroad avenue, are
worried over a report that he died this
week while in Philadelphia. The in
formation reached here In roundabout
way and was to the effect that Regan
was injured in a railroad accident last
Sunday night and that he died O few
hours afterward at Philadelphia hos
pital. Upon hearing the report tele-
graphic messages were sent by the fam
lily to the chief of police at Philadelphia
asking for Information. No answer
had been received last night when a
Tribune reporter called upon Mrs.
Hannah Regan. mother to the supposed
victim.
She stated that the report Is not un-
likely as the last heard Of her son he
was at the Brotherly city. Regan is q
machinist and was IS years Of age. He
worked at the Dickson works and IL
quite we'll known in this city.
There is a possibility that the Frank
McCann," who was killed Sunday at
Emporium. Pa. and who Is supposed
to have relatives in this city Is none
other than John c. Regan. Friends Of
the Regan family are Of this belief.
The message telling Of the McCann
death was printed in Mondays Tribune.

Mr.. Weissenfluh's Complaint.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In accordance with law each elec-
ton district annually elects what is
called an assessor Of voters. The law is
there for a wise Purpose. The duty Of
the assessor is to go in May and Decem-
Der from house to house in his own dis
trict and carefully enter on list fur
nished by the county commissioners the
name of employer and other items of In
formation Of every citizen, and carefully
excluding all who cannot prove their right
to go on the list. This Is called the original
registry list, and Is returned to the COM
missioners. who carefully examine it and
IL the work Is satisfactory 1t Is accepted,
the assessor paid, and everything SO far
Is correct.
But the trouble of which We complain
and which I have verbally reported to
former commissioners without the least
effect, and which has been to my knowl.
edge the cause Of serious difficulties to
election boards and voters occurs right
here in the commissioners Office. The
commissioners are required by law to
have the original lists copied. The names
arranged in alphabetical order, and all
the information contained in the original
to appear in the copy. This enables the
election officers without trouble to locate
and identify any man before he Is al
lowed to vote, and will to a great extent
prevent illegal voting. For this purpose
the law was enacted. But q comparison
of the original lists for instance those
for the year 1895 maze out by myselD
with the copies sent to the election board
In the First district of Old Forge, will
prove possibly that not more than one
half the names and other information ap-
pears in the copies.
This, then. reduces the whole business of
registering voters to very little more than
an expensive farce. How serious this
matter Is only election boards can real
ize. For years, to my knowledge, has Old
Forge been troubled with the mutilated
registry lists. and 1t Is only reasonable
to suppose that We Jared no worse than
others. But l am speaking only. for Old
Forge For years this township has had
the best reputation for honest elections,
good public roads. excellent public
schools, honest and capable school boards
and the lowest tax rates. Thus say our
heaviest taxpayers. And We intend to
keep our place ut the head of the process
sion. 1t Is no pleasant job to write a
faultfinding article, but have waited for
years for some ADLER pen than mine to
take hold Of this matter and let the COM
missioners know that O little more vlg-
ilance on their part with regard to regis
try lists would be appreciated by the citi-
zens and election boards In particular.
Through the press we can reach our
public servants. And II they will not lis
ten to we'll founded complaints, well. the
next time we will vote for the other fell
lows. sign my name in full so II anybody
wants to find me it can be done without
O lantern.

Nichols and Clarke are two of the
most prominent residents of .Clark's
Summit but have been engaged in liti-
cation for some time. The present SIAN
der suit is an indirect outgrowth of
their legal battles. About two weeks
ago an ejectment suit between the
parties was being heard before arbitra-
eors In the arbitration room Of the court
house and as the case progressed the
parties in the suit warmed up some
what.
While an argument was being made
to the arbitrators Mr.. Nichols stepped
into the register Of Wills Office and
few minutes later Mr.. Clarke found
his way into the same Office not know
ing that Mr. Nichols had preceded him.
