SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Special Session Held in the Central
Building Last Night.

Directors Moon, Colville, Brennan,
Hughes and Boylan were present last
evening at special meeting Of the
school board in their room in the Cen
trail building. The matter of letting
a contract for the furnishings of coal
and wood to the several schools was
the business of most importance con-
sidered at the meeting. The advertise
ment for the bids read ambiguously
and on that account action on the
matter was deferred. Mr.. Boylan
made a motion to reject all bids, stat
ing that he could not see how they could
have been made understandingly. Mr..
Moore seconded the motion but Direc-
tor Hughes offered an amendment to
the movement The latter gentleman
who proposed having the bids made is
to be lauded on the stand he has taken
in the matter. The Delaware and
Hudson company formerly furnished
coal to the schools at their own prices
and it is through Mr.. Hughes efforts
that individual operators are given a
chance for the furnishing of the fuel.
Mr. Hughes amendment was rejected
and Mr.. Boylan's motion was carried,
Messrs. Noon, Colville and Boylan
Hughes against. Mr.. Boylan then
made motion to have the board give
the contract for the hauling of the coal
to John Booth, who will be directed to
purchase the coal from the Delaware
and Hudson company Mr.. Hughes OBJ
jected to the motion, stating that he
saw no reason why the coal should be
bought from the Delaware and Hud-
\ Oh to-,
whatever to that company.
At this iuncture of the proceedings
the electric lights went out and for
fully an hour business was transacted
in total darkness. Several of the di-
directors advised going outand borrow
ing lamp or tallow candle as they
did not relish sitting in a dark room
with unfriendly persons.
However, the darkness did not put
check on the tongues of the directors
for several lively tits took place while
the lights were out. Mr.. Brennan
made a motion to readvertise for bids
for the hauling and furnishing of coal
and wood, the advertisement to read
the same as the previous one, with the
exception of the date of closing being
advanced to Sept l.. Mr.. Hughes sec
That director then made a motion to
have the principals of the different
schools send in acquisitions of the sup
plies needed. He stated that he was
dissatisfied with the manner in which
the supplies were purchased during the
past year, as he did not believe in
placing the matter in the hands of the
city superintendent.
Mr.. Brennan was of the same opinion
and so expressed himself, questioning
the work of last years secretary and
city superintendent. The motion was
carried. Mr.. Moon, as chairman of the
building committee. reported having
rented a building on Gordon avenue
for the accommodation of pupils of
that district. until the addition to No
be completed, On motion of Mr.
Noon, seconded by Mr. Hughes, Miss
Mary Mclean was employed as teach
er for the building. Mr.. Brennan
moved that her salary be placed at
S35 month, and MIR. Hughes seconded
the motion, which was adopted. The
directors took advantage of the Storm S
abatement and adjourned.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
DR.. Gillis' Horse Dashes Down Main
Street.

An exciting runaway occurred short
ly after noon today, but luckily no one
was injured. Roderick Gills, the little
son of DIR. Alexander Gillis, accompan-
led by a companion, was driving the
doctors horse out of the alleyway
which leads from Snyder's barn to Main
street, when the carriage wheel caught
in ladder that had been left standing
in the alley. The horse became fright
ened and jumped forward precipitat-
ing the ladder upon the buggy. This
scared the animal all the more and it
made dash out of the alley and down
Main street, where it was stopped in
front of the Park clothing house by a
clerk of that establishment. The clerk
showed great daring in stopping the
animal and undoubtedly saved the oc-
cupants of the vehicle from serious in
jury.

ALCER ASKS FOR
 INVESTIGATION Wants Act of War Department
 Ventilated. IS JOINED BY GEN. CORD|N The President Undecided As to
 His Course. UNLIKELY THAT WILL BE ORDERED Question Will Be Discussed By the
 Cabinet Today. IT CANNOT DO ANY HARM Is the Argument Used by Those Who Desire the Investigation-Will Place the Blame Where It
 Rightfully Belongs.
Question Will Be Discussed By the
 Cabinet Today.


Washington, September S.-Secretary AL ger has asked for a thorough and search ing investigation of the war department In this request the secretary has been joined by Adjutant-General Corbin No de- cisicn has been reached yet by the presi- dent as to what course he will pursue He has the request of Secretary Alger under consideration, but has not yet determined whether he will grant 1t or not.
 Secretary Alger had long conference with the president tonight before leaving the city and impressed upon him his earn est desire that an investigation such as he had requested should be ordered. The ques- tion was very thoroughly discussed in all its phases. Secretary Wilson participated in the conference, and General Corbin was present during a greater part of the time. It seems now unlikely that the investiga- ton will be ordered but it is the wish of the president further to consider the mat ter before announcing a definite policy Discussed by Cabinet
 The question probably will receive con- sideration at the cabinet meeting tomorrow. While all the members of the cabinet are not in the city it is said to be the wish or the president to take up the whole question with his advisers who may be there. Should the investigation be ordered, it will include probably all matters relating to the con- duct of the war so far as they concern the war department Secretary Alger expresses himself as confident that such an investiga- ton. if conducted promptly and thoroughly, will result in much good.
 Such an investigation as has been re-
 with some difficulties. No charges of a definite character have been filed by any responsl- ble person or official. Sensational stories and rumors for which the administration has present knowledge that there is no foundation, have been circulated and ob- .jection is made to dignifying them by the ordering of an investigation By those who desire and advocate the Investigation 1t IS maintained it can do no possible harm ana may be of positive benefit in clearing away manifest error from the minds of many people and in placing the blame, if any is to be placed, where it rightfuly belongs.
 On Tour of Inspection
 Secretary Alger, accompanied by Mrs. Alger, his son, Captain Alger, Major Hop kins, his aide, and Quartermaster Luding- ton, left Washington at 10:40 o'clock to- night for Meadville, Pa. The secretary will spend the afternoon tomorrow in an inspec- ton of the camp at Meadyille and will then proceed on his way to Detroit where he will leave Mrs. Alger and his son, who is still ill from the fever from his service before Santiago. The secretary will then proceed to make inspection of a number of the army camps, going as far as Jacksonville before going back to Washington.
