THAT QUEER BILL.

Attorneys f. II. Holgate and ]. ].
Il. Hamilton have made an examina-
tion Of the respondents bill of particu-
lars in the Langstaff- Kelley contest
and they are quite confident that the
court will Quash it when they make
that motion on August Is.
One reason upon which the motion
to quasi will be based is the delay in
fling the bill, BY an order of court
the respondents attorneys We're direc-
ted to file their bill within sixty days
of the date on which the contestants
hill was filed, which was on May 8.
The date of filing the respondents bill
was July 49, That is seventy-five days
after May Q. The court will be asked
to quash it on that ground.
They have also the ground that it
contains the names Of at least as many
votes as Mr.. Langstaff received. and
alleges that all of these We're under
twepty-one years Of age. Mr. Holgate
said it is a bill of "peculiars" not ono
of particulars" He had counted
yesterday under the head of under
twenty-one years Of age 1884 names
down to the First district of the Sew
enteenth ward of this city. There are
at least 5000 more under that head.
Mr. Holgate declares positively that
enough votes have been thrown out
so far to unseat Mr.. Kelley. He places
the number at 500. The borough of

PASSENGERS NARROW ESCAPE
Trolley Car Collides with a Moving
Coal Train.

Good luck possibly prevented one or
more fatalities in a collision yesterday
afternoon between a Pittston-bound
trolley car and moving coal train
at the Greenwood breaker switch cross
ing at Greenwood. OF the six passeng-
ers on the car none was injured.
A sharp grade descends to the track.
While the car was going down it the
motorman lost control of it on account
OF the wet rails. The motorman set
the brake and left his place on the
platform and entered the car when ne
realized he was powerless to prevent
the collision.
The passengers saw the moving coal
train crossing the tracks ahead of them
but none of them jumped. The front
of the car was smashed by the col
lision, but the force of the crash cause
the car to jump back a few inches from
the passing train, which was moving
slowly Good fortune seems to have
protected the passengers from iuiurr
They suffered nothing more than fright
and a lively jostling about.

The Importance of Quebec as the

She also recommended Mrs. Sheldon
Barnes history as containing many
valuable quotations and extracts.
In speaking Of the Revolutionary
war. Miss Burke said that there were
seven central points, Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Saratoga, the Caro-
linas and Yorktown. In the sixth grade
Ferris wheel might be constructed
in which the seven baskets or cars
would contain, first, the causes of the
war and the leading events.
In passing she referred to DR.. s.
Weir Mitchells Hugh Wynne" as be-
ing graphic in description Of many
points in the Revolutionary war.
The Sisters smiled when Miss Burke
said that the Civil war might be treat
ed as a three-ring circus, but her elab-
Grafton of the idea gave an interesting
outline for study.
Mrs. Burke then announced that
nothing had been heard from the lost,
strayed or stolen Mr.. Walsh, of Brook
lyn, who was to have spoken during
the institute. She was glad that a man
and not woman had thus disap-
pointed them.
TALK ON GEOGRAPHY.
Mrs. Burke gave a brief talk on geog-
raphy for the first grades, in which she
emphasized teaching from the local
standpoint, bringing in as largely the
study of nature and plant life as pos
sible.
The session adjourned after a song
by the assembly.
Mrs. Burke addressed a group of
ladies last evening in College hail. She
began by advising the establishment
of Mothers Clubs" and gave plans of
organization. Impressive remarks on
children's temptations and their con-
ndences were made. She said with re-
gard to the voice:
use care with the tones in which
you speak to your children. Imperti-
! nent children usually come from homes
where high pitched querulous voices
| are employed in attempt at control"
She then continued: THE child has
| only one place where he may talk free
| ly and that is on the street. He may
not talk in school and in the home it is
the common expression: Children
| should be seen and not heard"
Make home pleasant. Learn to play
| games. learn to do many things to keep
| the children home. 1t is no doubt
| pleasanter to read the books that please
| you than to talk with people of your
tastes, but it is better to make your
home attractive. What books do your
children read?
| READ THEIR BOOKS.
Read their books first. Don't harsh
ly forbid them from reading certain
literature. Use tact and caution in
turning the tide of their taste.
Do not promise the child something
and then never keep the promise. II
is a terrible thing for the child to find
out that his mother does not tell the
truth. 1t is a fearful thing to destroy
child's confidence in his parents
Even the teacher should beware about
doing that
In conclusion she urged a beginning
with mothers meetings and assured
her hearers that these helps would be
