RAILROAD CELEBRATION.
To the Texarkanian and the Call OF

the representatives of the TeXdr-

ference rnd agree on a date on
which to celebrate the construction
of the Kansas City, Shreveport and

Texarkana in ties of iron. Any day
in the week, except the first of the
month or Saturday, would be ac-
ceptable to the citizens of this city
A programme scould be arranged
which would be simple, but filled
with opportunity for recreation and
enjoyment.
The citizens Of the city of Moor
ingsport and vicinity have already
given notice to their intention to
entertain the crowd on the day OF
iubilatiou, fact which is gratily-
ing and will have to be considered
in arranging a programme.
What is the opinion of the Tex
arkaua press on the railroad cele-
bratiOn?
If desirable, correspondence is
suggested on this line.-Shreyeport
Caucasian.
We publish the above and would
say that the time be set by they
railroad people, as they know the
date they can run successful
excur ion better perhaps than any
of us. We would suggest May
day, as it has been regarded by
the schools as privilege day to 60

A Fire on Saturday Morning.

The fremen made about as quick a
response on Saturday as they ever did.
1t was shortly after 10 o'clock when the
alarm bell rang, and several members of
the hose company got the cart out in
short time. 1t was fastened to one of
Bother Dusheck's wagons, and the hose
was driven rapidly to the plug at Lu-
zerne and Ridge streets. The fire was
in the chimney Of house No. and s, on
South Fern street, in Foster township,
but the hose was sufficient to reach the
building. A hole was knocked in the
chimney in the garrett, and the flue was
flooded. The blaze was getting in good
trim when the water was turned on, but
1t was extinguished without trouble.
The building is owned by the Cross
Creek Coal Company, and is occupied by
two Italian families.
Had it not been for the assistance
given them by the horse, the firemen
would have had hard pull. The streets
were filled with mud and the fire would
have had much headway if the cart had
to be pulled there by men.

A Brave Soldier Rewarded.

A medal of honor has been awarded

late sergeant of Co. G, 143rd Pennsyl-

battle of Gettysburg. At great risk of
his life, Rutter went to the assistanance
OF wounded comrade and removed him
to place of safety, thereby saving him
from capture. Mr.. Rutter resides in
Wilkssbarre. The person rescued was

School Board Vacancy Filled.

III. s. Beagle was chosen by the bor-
ough school directors on Thursday even
ing to fill the vacancy on the board
caused by the removal of Director John
Smith to the South ward. There was
no opposition to Mr.. Beagle.
The work of the meeting on Monday
evening was approved, and the directors
again discussed the proposed grading of
the schools. From the testimony of
some OF the teachers the present system
of holding two halliday sessions is not
satisfactory.
The vaccination of pupils was also
decided upon, and the teachers were
instructed to notify the pupils to comply
with this law.
Another meeting was held on Satur-
day evening, at which it was stated
that Mr. Beagle would not fill the va
cancy on the board. No further action
in the matter was taken.
The grading of the schools was dis
cussed again. The division line was
changed from Main to Front street, but
nothing was done In the way OF arrang-
ing classes for the various rooms. Sec
retary Sweeney went on record as op-
posing this plan.
So far as the TRIBUNE can learn from
teachers, pupils and taxpayers, the new
plan meets with the disapproval of
nearly everybody. 1t is said that it will
take 81 pupils from the Washington
school and place them in the Coke
school, and SO pupils from the Hill will
go to the Washington street building.
Every school in the borough will then
be mixed school,

Notices have been posted at the

advance pleases the employees, but it is

Death of n Young Man.

Hugh McMonigle, a well-known Young
man of town, died on Thursday evening
at the residence of his mother on Form
street. Until lately he was employed as
porter at the Central hotel, and pre-
viously held a similar position at the
Cottage. For the past few months he
was in poor health, but nothing serious
was anticipated until few days before
his death. The remains were buried
yesterday from the residence of his
brother-in-law, Joseph Davis, on South
street. Interment was made at St.

Sporty Physician In Trouble,

DR.. John Fruit, of Hazleton, who has
been before the public several times for
one reason or another, is now under
bail charged with shooting David Clark,
of Wilkesbarre, a bartender at Fischer's
Mansion House. Fruit and Clark were
out together on Wednesday night and
after taking in the town were taken in
a cab to the Luzerne House. Accord
ing to the Wilkesbarre Record, Clark
wanted Fruit to go to bed and they
went up stairs together. 1t is said that
Fruit did not want to retire, but Clark
persisted, whereupon Fruit pulled re-
volver and shot at Clark, the bullet TAX
ing effect in the thigh. Clark was taken
to his home soon after the shooting and
the bullet was removed.
Fruit was arrested and had hearing
before Mayor Nichols and was held un-
der 81, 900 bail on the charge of shooting
and $500 on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. Fred Price became
his bonsdman. DR.. Fruit had all sorts

From the Hazleton Standard.
Powell, the magician, entertained a
fair-sized audience at the Grand last
night. Mr.. Powell's legerdemain is most
attractive and is performed with great
dexterity and originality. He works
with quickness and deftness that is
marvellous. Many of Mr. Powell's tricks
are of his own invention, the most won
derful of which being the trunk mys-
terry and the cremation scene. Some of
tho tricks are seemingly impossible, yet
they are only tricks and all this possibly
is due to the clevernesss of the man.
Mr.. Powell certainly has earned the
proud distinction of being classed among
the foremost magicians of the age.
