and VIII HIVE I'm.

NEwBuRG. N. Y. June 26.-There is a great
big rumpus in the Ncwburg Board OF Educa-
ton over the distribution of tickets to the aca-
demic commencement exercises. Every year the
big Academy Of Music Is rented by the board
for the exercises. The grammar classes occupy
1t in the afternoon and academic classes in the
evening. The evening show is. of course, the
more important. and there is usually some
strife for the tickets of admission. Last night,
although insufferably hot, tho crush was
on as usual. The academic teachers have
charge of tho distribution of the coveted
pastebo9rds, and they go to the scholars,
the teachers. ex-membcrs Of the board, present
members. and other favorites. This year the
award to members and eN-membcrsw was not only
small. but the seats given were in inferior parts
of the house. This eXasperated the members
and instead of attending and being the biggest
toads in the puddle, fiye of the nine members
Indignantly returned the tickets and resented
the slight by refusing to go near the exercises.
The five are James Hastings. once n candidate
for Mayor; Jonathan ID. Wilson, now spoken of
as n candidate for Mayor; Charles II. Halstead,
Hiram Lozier. and Edward c. Ross.
1t Is stated to-day that an investigation will
be made into the whole ticket business. 1t has
created more fuss in the board and among
schools than anything In years. In future the
members Of tho board will assert their power
and look after the tickets themselves.

BANK SUES ASSESSORS.

Asseasors Charge IrIckerI.

NEwBURo. June 2G.-An important case came
before Judge Hirschberg this morning In the
suit against the Board Of Assessors Of Hayer-
straw, who are alleged TO have excessively
valued the shares OF the Hayerstraw National
Bank. The banks stock is assessed at 1914.
The surplus and undivided profits are 500. 600.
The capital stock is $50. 600. there being 500
shares of 300 each. After the assessors had
procured n list OF the shareholders and the above
ion OF the profits, reducing them Town 10 about
one-quarter OF the former amount. The ASSESSORS
contend that this division was not in good faith
and was made only to escape taxation, and re.
fused to, reduce the assessment. The stock
holders then, procured a writ of certiorari, which
was returnable to-day. A motion to dismiss the
writ will be argued later.
