The salaries OF Messrs. Phipps,
Rugh, Misses Elston, Jacobs, Waring,
Mutt, Jackson, Hasshagen, were
raised s. a month. Previous to last
year the Garfield principalship paid
$40 and the Lincoln $50. The young
ladies who received advances had only
$50 last year and their good work
was deemed worthy Of payment
equal to the other teachers Of the
same class.
The entire corps Of teachers has
thus been reelected, an action which
will meet with the approval Of the
entire district. Abilene schools were
never in better condition and the
work Of the year reflects credit on
both teachers and board

iously assaulted and badly wounded
last evening on West Lackawanna ave-
nue. about 10:45 o'clock. His assailant
was a colored man who would not give

known by Drayman George Brown.
Detective Clifford was looking for
James Cooley, charged with assault
and battery. He found his man on
West Lackawanna avenue near the
American House.
While attempting to arrest him Cliff
ford was assaulted by the fellows
friends.
But for the interference of bystand-
ers, 1t would have gone hard with Cliff
| ford, as his assailant shattered cane
on his head and was striking him
| Clifford resisted bravely, but the col
ored man was becoming too much foi
him. The bystanders assisted and the
assailant was landed in the police sta
ton by the detective with Patrolman
| Feeney's assistance.
| The Detectives wounds consist of
several severe contusions and a bad
| abrasion of the scalp.
Cooley escaped during the melee, but
will probably be apprehended as he Ii
we'll known.

NEW STYLE OF CATCH BASIN.
City Engineer Phillips is Giving 1t a
Test.

One Of the Hershberger improved
catch basins has been put in at the
east side of Bank street and Platt place
by City Engineer Phillips in order to
give 1t a test.
The advantages claimed for 1t are
that 1t does not permit of an accumula-
tion of rubbish at the entrance as no
bars are placed at the entrance: no
sediment can enter the sewer to block
it, no gas can escape and it is perfect
ly frost-proof.
Should the basin give satisfaction,
which the next heavy storm will tell,
it is likely that the city will adopt It.
The inventor is j. w. Hershberger, of

AN OFFICE RIOT.
Uusavory Case Before Alderman Howe
DeveIopes Into a Free Fight
and Threats TO Kill.

The spectacle of a grey-bearded man,
upholding the honor of his daughter,
with a crowd of sympathizers behind
him. their fists clenched and clamoring
for a battle with the followers of an
other man, one of the principals in the
case and with an alderman and one
special officer between the two factions
exerting their muscle in an effort to
still the rising tumult; threats of I'll
kill you," you lie!" in the air and talk
of knives, revolvers. etc, going about,
while the timid members of the crowd
of seventy-five people were seeking
every available nook to get out of
| harms way-all this was what hap
! pened in Alderman John T. Howe's
office. corner of Washington and Lack
awanna avenues at $50 o'clock last
night.
The case which preceded this unusu-
al scene was instituted by Max Swartz,
a Throop hotelkeeper, against Andrew
| Kigassko, and in his information
| Swartz mentions his wife as the part
ner in Kigassko's guilt. The case be-
| gan at 7.30 o'clock, at which time AL
| derman Howes office was crowded with
! friends of the principals. 1t had been
postponed since last Tuesday and each
side in the interim had secured a score
of witnesses. 1t was Swartz's evident
intention to secure the conviction of
Kigassko and on this to base divorce
proceedings against his wife.
John Yoppo, the last witness, lost his
young son last week, the child drinking
embalming fluid out of a cup.
Alderman Howe placed Kigassko un-
der $500 bail to appear at court; the
lN1n f.,.. .taI.1 u.
torney Horn was making a request of
his honor that Isaac Jerkovitch, father
of Mrs. Swartz, be placed under bonds
to keep the peace. Jerkovitch, the
father was in the room. With him
were three grown sons.
When he heard Attorney Horns re-
quest he rushed through the crowd, the
crowd crying in Hebrew that he would
kill Rosenfelt." Rosenfelt is a broth
er-in-law and friend of Max Swartz.
"Tll kill you" cried the old man. His
three sons rushed to his assistance.
Detective Charles Silverburgh grasped
the aged man and pushed him away;
the sons made for Silverburgh, and all
were crying aloud XIII him" Sill
verburgh was alone. Alderman Howe
took off his glasses, placed them on the
table and pitched into the crowd which
was overpowering Silverburgh.
The confusion was something awful;
Rosenfelt and Swartz trembled like
aspens and made cries of "he has a
knife!" At this Attorney Fitzsimmons
got behind the door Of the safe At
torney Horn admitted afterward that
he was ready to drop expecting a re.
volver to be in sight at any moment
Through Alderman Howe's muscle and
command the room was finally cleared
of the Jerkovitch faction, numberine
twenty or thirty men. Swartz and hi.
friends from Throop remained in the
office.
Both Rosenfelt and Swartz immedi
ately swore out warrants for the arres
of Jerkovitch and his three sons charg
ing them with threats to kill Tn,
warrants will be served today. Swart;
would not go home last night anc
handed one of his followers one silvel
dollar to pay their car fare.
