Now. simple as the proposition was. there
were some n-succoossful men in their own
line-who didn't quite agree with the plan or
its purposes. They held that long. ago ex-
ploded notion that commerce, pure and
simple-that Is. tie receipt and reshipment OF
chandize--contributes nothing to the ma.
terial wealth of q community. They were,
therefore, not very enthusiasts supporters of
the movement for hareor Improvement. But
that movement went on gaining strength all
tho time. and after much effort, and the use
OF every argument that couid be brought TO
bear, Congress was induced TO make Mn APP
preparation for the improvement of Nara

initial appropriation was followed by others

GOVERNOR HASTINGS DENIES 1T.
He Is Not Candidate for Vice Presiden
with MCKINLEY.

HARRISBURG, May Ex-Governor Hast
ings last night emphatically denied the
report emanating from Washington to the
effect that Senator Quay wants him nomi-
mated for vice president with Mckinley.
The governor not only declared that he is
not u candidate for the vice presidency.
but added that he is satisfied with the
office he now holds.
The only element Of truth in the story.
he said, is that concerning the governor :
visit to Senator Quay at Washington. 1t
is no secret that he went there ten DAYS
ago and talked with the senator in refer.
ence to the speech placing his name before
the convention for president As to the
report that Senator Quay is going to Can.

AFTER BoODLERs.
Taxpayers Say school Directors Share I'm
Teachers Salaries.


Special to EVENING HERALD.
CENTRALIA, May 21.-An interesting law
suit was tried here last evening before Justice
of the Peace Loughlin in which Miss Brid-
get McLain, a school teacher, was the plain
tiff and the School Board of Conyingham
township defendant Miss McTain sued for
four months salary, aggregating $500. The
Board had paid her the salary for the first
four months at the same rate, but in answer
to the suit alleged that at the time Miss Nc
Lain and others were elected teachers moth
ing was said about salary. Two members Of
the Board, who made the motion electing
the teachers and the one who seconded it,
swore that the salaries were fixed, and it was
a mistake Of the secretary that the salary
was not noted in the minutes NJ. NJ. Burke,
Esq, of Shenandoah, appeared for the
teacher and w. A. Mari, Esq, appeared for
the landowners, mine operators and other
large taxpayers for whom the opposing
School Directors in the matter acted. In the
summing up Mr. Mari gave an inkling to the
true issue. lie contended that a deal had
been made between Miss McLain and certain
School Directors by which the latter were to
receive S25 per month from her salary Of 500,
and it was by reason of this deal that the
heavy taxpayers of the township had made
the fight. Justice Loughlin gave judgment
for the full amount claimed and the tax
payers gave notice of appeal, their counsel
claiming the case would be fought until the
boodlers would be cornered.

In anthracite coal there is nothing of
moment to report. The conditions remain
much as they have during the six or eight
weeks, the miners are working on short time
and the output is at the rate of about three
quarters of a million tons per week, but even
with this there is sufficient coal to meet any
and all requirements. In fact so much so is
this the case that a considerable proportion
of the output is now going into stock at
at distant points to be ready for demand after
the first of July.
1t is considered probable thatafter the date
mentioned there will be sufficient demand
for the coal to take a product Of perhaps one
million tons per weeks in addition to taking
up some of the stock.
