between the ages of 6 and 81. When

40 5000 pupils of school age, against g.
S94 last year. The great increase pre-
SCENTS a serious problem TO the trustees,
who, In view of the fact that the new

che building committee informed him
Hhat several loads of sand and one of
lime had been hauled onto the ground
and that several men had started to
work when the walking delegates from
lhe Bricklayers' union came around n
called them off. The chairman ex-
dressed the opinion that the walking
delegates ought to be proud of their
work-the fact that they successfully
snterfered with the erection OF the
much needed chool building.
Mr.. Long also reported that, in com
pany with Trustees Burke and Nor
gan, he had examined a number OF
sites in the southwestern part of the
city. where IL is proposed TO erect an
other school building, N that Mr..
Morgan was trying to get prices on
several pieces of the ground. In view
of the fact that the district is unable

ern part of the city. Mr.. Long said he
was in favor of building a schoolhouse
ON the East Broadway lot. which the
district at one time contemplated SELL

make certain repairs on the Adams
building in Centereille. and a contract
was let for kalsomining the South

And greatly missed when she is gone:

While GROWING all with sweetest kiss.
Her Youthful friends now call her dear.

They meet and mingle in joyful tide
And feel right and growing pride
We shower good wishes now on Babe

Such wishes as to the best are given

Badly Burned With Powder.

On July 4th. the son of DR.. and
Mrs. Mary Edwards Ziegier was fright
fully injured bv the explosion of a can
of powder at his home in Dayton. O.
The Ziegler family is well known in
Lancaster. The mother of the in
iured boy is sister of Miss Alice
Edwards. From a Dayton newspaper
we clip the following report of the as-
cident: Three small boys whose ages
range from seven to twelve years
were playing on West Monument av-
enue this morning near the junction
of Bridge street, when one OF them
thoughtlessly dropped lighted piece
of punk into can full powder. All
three were injured seriously, but one
is burned and disfgured beyond rec
ognition. The front of his face and
his body is terribly burned. At noon
his face was swollen considerably, his
cheeks bulged out until they were
even with the piont of his nose. The
lad is but seven years of age, and is
the son OF DR.. and Mrs. f. j. Zieg,er
of Valley street. At the time of the
accident he was in the yard Of his
uncle, Mr.. John Ziegler, with whom
he was spending the 4th. His brother
who was with him at the time, was
slightly injured but the other boy of
the trio was not so fortunate. His name
is Laurence Pritz. and he lives on
Bridge street. He was badly burned
about the face aud breast aud will
probably be distigured for life.
