1t is now apparent that final action on the
consolidation scheme will not be taken unti
next week The bill as 1t passed the Senate was
fayorably reported to the Assembly yesterday,
and Is likely to be advanced to third reading
today. Those who think that this delay Is I'M
favorable to the passage of the measure may
be right, but it is probable that they are too
sanguine That 1t might have been defeated by
sagacious and united action ON the part OF the
BROOKLYN representatives Is possible. but mis-
takes already made will not be easily repaired
Enough was disclosed at the hearing on the
compromise School bill yesterday to show that
the Senate Committee on Cities is in favor OF
doing away with the school trustees in this city
hut the strength Of the opposition to this reform
was also manifested. one OF the speakers on
that side offering to present petition with
half million signatures In favor OF retaining
tho trustees. 1t Is evident that there will be
a bsr, f9ht against the abolition Of what Is re-
gartied BY the most competent and disinterested
Judges as the chief evil Of the existing system
and those who believe In school reform should
be prepared for a strenuous struggle
The Commissioners Of the New East River
Bridge have decided to take an appeal from the

REMOVAL OF BLAINE',S BODY
It Is Believed His Widow Will Re.

There In Future-The Reasons
Not Fully Known.

II is reported that Mrs. James q. Blaine
has decided TO have the body OF her husband
transferred fror, its prcsent resting place
in Oak Hill Cemetery. insfhis city. to Au-
gI,sta, Me-, his former horne. She wishes
that the body OF her eldest son. Walker.

Mrs sIaiue has decidei, il is said. TO
make her home in Augusta for the rest
of her life, and ins;ead or having the boGlcs
buried in the family. lot IN Forest bill
the brow OF a picturesque hill, overlooking
Augusta, for their final resting place. II
is a site commanding magnificent view
of the surrounding COUNTRY: Inc removal
will be made at an carly date
The racr that a Similar statement was
made several months agois considered by
some as Currohorative evidence That such
"a PURPOSE has been formed, others think II
indicates that the Fstoryssis without much
authority. Many think IL has growns out
of some chance conversation between mem
bers OF the family.
that il may be true. as the family home
has always been at Augusta. Mrs. Blaine
owns a residence here and 4 cottage at
Bar HarbOr, with considerable other prop
erty, but the home has always been in
Maine.
II is believed TO be on account of the
usual sentiment that keeps old and noted
families together that leads TO desire
TO sec the remains of the great Republican
leader laid at rest IN his native State.
1t is there lie had his closest friends. and
from there he achieved his political
triumphs.
In addition to this. there is undoubte etily a
feeling among the intimate friends of Mr.
Blaine, ii not with his family. that the grave
here has been neglected by the public: that
the cosmopolitan population of this city has
not shown anything like the reverence that
would be accorded the sacred spot at Au-
gusta.
None of the immediate family is here
now: Mr.. James G. Blaine, jr., who has
spent good part of his time here for
several months past, is now in New York
The remainder Of the family are in Maine

TEMPLE FOR The PYTHIANS
Endorsement of the Projsct for a
Handsome Structure Here.
1t Would Arouse Greater Interest In
the Order-other Advantages
Mentioned.

The Knights of Pythias are cnthusias-
tically pushing their project to build Il
Pythian temple here. This was originated
several years ago. but after considerable
money had been collected and much work
done there was q luli in the interest. An
organization of those who had taken a share
in the efforts OF the hall association has
been kept up and of late there has been
mar ked revival.
The excursion to Marshall Hall tomor-
row is mainly in the interest Of the rnnd
for this purpose. A meeting Of the associa-
ton was held last night. plans were dis
cussed and directors were chosen for tile
ensuing year.

The president, \. j. Cunning, occupied
the chair, and II. j. Gasson, the clerk. kept
record OF proceedings. Reports were
read, showing what had been done to date:
how much stock has been subscribed and
how the money has been used. II wasShown
that the association owns the lot OH the
west side Of Ninth street, at the north
corner of the alley, between l. and NJ, but
has still comnarativclj small debt to
pay upon it. There was some discussion
OF whether that W ould be the most desirable
point to build.
y number OF opinions were expressed,
with the general sentiment that IL might
bc better to use the lot. unless some liberal
inducement should be made to 20 else where.
Upon the question who had Il right To vote
and who was eligible to election as di-
rector there was some discussion. Some of
the stock represented bad not been paid
for in full. and there was doubt whether
it could properly be voted.
Finally 1t was decided by unanimous con-
senttO cast a ballotfor the board OF directors
about as il has stood for a year past, as
follows A. j. Cunning, j. Humphrey II
W. Hcisler, j. c. Yost, j. W. Hardell, j K
Mangum, Richard Goodhardt and j. "
Bradbury. Mr.. j. II, Mills declined a nomi-
nation on the ground that he could not give
the matter proper attention.
Tie board of directors will meet next
Friday and organize for the year.
1t is urged in favor of tile Temple that it
would probably bring here from Chicago
the headquarters or the endowment braDcn
of the order. which handles about 81 90 600
month: II would also revive the interest
in every branch of the order in this vicinity
and put Washington in its true relation of
the mother city OF the Knights of Pythias.
II Is believed by MANY that Il ma gnificeDt
meeting place for the knights could be oh.
tanned and al the same time a reasonable
return upon the investment would be Sc
cured.
