WANT TO GET MRS. BOOTHS PLACE.
Two Brooklyn Women Are at Present
in the Lead for the Place.


Tomorrow night it is likely two i'm
portant board of control committee
meetings will be held.
The high and training school
committee has before it the selection
of a training teacher, professor of
mathematics and assistant in the COM
mercial department. The teachers
committee has to fill the vacancy in
No. IA building caused by the resigna-
tion of Mrs. E. E. Robathan.
For the position of drawing teacher
there are nearly thirty applicants, but
the fight now has simmered down to
a contest between Miss Morse and Miss
Ostrander, of Brooklyn, N. Y. A ma
jority of the committee favor Miss
Morse, who is related to one of the
members, but the chairman, Mr.. Lam
gan, and President Jennings are de-
termined upon the selection of Miss
Ostrander. AS no agreement could be
reached, although two meetings were
held Monday, no report was made
to the meeting Monday night AS the
schools open two weeks hence, it is
likely that the matter will be decided
at next Monday nights adjourned ses-
sion.
The successor to Frank D. Littell as
mathematical instructor and the ad-
ditional teacher in the commercial de-
partment will likewise, in all prob
ability be chosen Monday night. The
vacancy at No. IA will be filled by the
teachers committee also Monday night.

VIVE-BOARD OF CONTROL.
Here we are just as you see
Quite a happy family;
Not too coy and not too slow;

l.. j. Williams, of the firm of Will
Hams & McAnulty, has been elected
vice-president of the Wall Paper job
bers' association. Mr.. Williams was
chosen vice-president at one of the
conferences of the association in New
York city, where it has been in session
for about two, weeks.
A Philadelphia woman committed
suicide the day before yesterday rather
than tell her age. Her husband had
left her because of this natural retic-
ence on her part and she foolishly la
mented the loss of the cruel companion
to such a degree that with the alter
native of confessing her age she pre-
ferred death to living without him. Her
mode of departure was also as uncom-
Portable as a mixture of strychinine
and Paris green could afford.
A Scranton woman was snbpoened
on a case which was to be heard before
arbitrators. The first witnesses were
sworn and the Scrantonian suddenly
became convinced that she would be
expected to tell her age so she promptly
fled from the court house and took the
next train for the country sent for a
doctor and forwarded his certificate
to the effect that she was too i'll to ap-
pear on that case.
"some Of these days I'll be found a
stiff, cold corpse" remarked a pretty
girl last evening on the Mulberry street
line, "and the newspapers will say:
Another woman jumped from a car
with her face the wrong way When
II won't be that at all. You see," she
went on, "I've grown so used to skip
ping off my wheel, landing on one foot
and giving that queer little hop we all
take, that I'm always doing it when !
get off car. Two or three times I've
been jerked almost under the wheels,
not to mention the headers I've had,
and one Of these days the habit will
finish me. I've heard a lot of girls say
they do the same thing" Just then
she came to her corner performed the
hops and skips she had described and
sat down more or less decidedly on a
red lantern perched at the top Of a
sand heap at the side of the track,
while the conductor looked back SYM
pathetically as the car sped up the
hill.

John r. Gamble, the man whose ar
rest for desertion and non-support In
Philadelphia, Monday, was noted in
yesterdays Tribune, is now in the
county Jail in default OF $1,000 bail to
answer charge of bigamy. When
Gramble was arraigned before Alder
man John T. Howe yesterday the
charge of desertion and non-support Of
his wife. Susie A. Klotz, was with
drawn in favor of the more serious
charge of bigamy.
The story which explains this change
Is one of vengeance for an irreparab BILE
wrong-the family of the deceived girl
lending every effort to capture and
punish Gamble to the fullest extent Of
the law.
To do this John H. Spain, a brother
inlaw of the Klotz woman, suffered
himself to associate with Gamble as
his friend and in this guise Spain, who
bitterly hates the man, secured the in
formation for his arrest on a charge of
blgamy.
The Klotz family live near Goulds-
boro, in Clifton township. July 26, 1896,
at Phillipsburg, N. j., Gamble married
Susie A. Klotz, then a resident of this
city, and on the following April child
was born. The couple lived happily
together until short time previous to
Aug. Z, on which date Mrs. Gamble
swore out warrant before Alderman
Howe, charging desertion and non-sup-
port.
WENT TO PHILADELPHIA.
Gamble could not be found at that
time, but it was learned that he had
gone to Philadelphia. The relatives Of
the injured girl learning of this con-
tributed to the expense and assigned
to the H. d. Lilcox National Detective
agency Of Philadelphia the task Of find
ing Gamble.
few days ago-at midnight-John
II. Spain, the brother-in-law, received
a message telling him that Gamble had
been located. Spain lost no time. He
aroused Alderman Howe from his bed
at his home on Mulberry street and in
the early hours of the morning Alder
man Howe went to his office, at the
corner of Lackawanna and Washing
ton avenues, and made out a duplicate
warrant. Spain took this to Constable
Carman, of the Eighth ward, and had
himself authorized to serve the war;
rant and then secured a pair of hand
cuffs at the police station. He left on
the 245 a. m. Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western train for the city Of
Brotherly Love.
Gamble was formally arrested and
Spain brought him here Monday night
During the trip back Spain made pre-
lenses of friendship for Gamble and
succeeded in wringing out of him some
useful evidence.
MARRIED THREE TIMES.
It was learned that he had two wives
before he married the Klotz girl. One
secured divorce in Trenton, N. j.; the
other is now in Philadelphia and 1t is
said, divorce proceedings are now pend
ing there. The women in each case in
stigated the suits.
When the Klotz woman learned of
CANDLES former wives she preferred
the charge of bigamy and at the hear
ing before Alderman Howe yesterday
Gamble waived a hearing and was
placed under 81, 900 bail. CANDLES
means of earning a livelihood are not
known. In appearance he is short and
| stocky built, apparently about 80 years
of age. When he left the Klotz woman
he took with him all the papers per-
tanning to their marriage.
