Y. M. C. A. NIGHT SCHOOL.
commencement Exercises OF the Va
riOus Classes Last Night.

The commencement exercises OF the Y
M. c. "A. night school classes of the last
season, took place last night in the audi
forum OF the association before q full
mousse The exercises were entered into with
enthusiasm by both teachers and pupils In
the absence of ex-Mayor Denny, the exer-
c1ses We're presided over by General Secre-
tary I. A. Fildreth. Rev. r. V. Hunter de-
hVered the address of the evening, after
which brief remarks touching on the prog
ress of the work and the ends accomp-
Hshed were INDUCED in by the heads of the
various departments as follows: Robert
Springer, bookkeeping, penmanship, math-
ematics and spelling; Professor Duthie
algebra and geometry; Charles Eicholtz
architectural drawing; Frank Deerhake
shorthand. During these remarks Professor
Smoke was presented with a handsome
medical case by the class in first aid to the
injured, while Professors Duthie and Scher-
rer were each the recipients of jungle wood
canes, mounted in silver and inscribed, from
the members Of their several classes.
Following this came an eXtemporaneouS
1arce-comecy by the members of the Ger
man class In which the scene was laid in
a. restaurant and afforded opportunities for
the display of wit and accomplishment in
the German language. An exhibition drill
was given by the boys class in first aid to
lilo liJuISu, III WHICH pistol SnOLS ana mock
murder made the scene realistic one.
The presentation of diplomas by Professor
Duthie to Richard Early and Henry Board
or the mechanical drawing class, was fol-
lowed by a speech by Secretary Hildreth,
in which it was shown that the great prog
ress made was accomplished in three small
rooms in which three hundred pupils had
been successfully handled. He urged all to
glance at the plan already drawn up for a
new six-story building. so by l60 feet, and
gain incentive for renewed activity toward
raising the money for providing suitabl
quarters for enlarged classes. All members
of the classes. with the faculty and officers
of the association then repaired to the class
room, where a f1ashlight photograph of
them all was taken. 1t is expected that the
classes will be increased 50 per cent. next
season, and. If practicable, all will be held
on one night so as not to interfere, as here
tofore, with other features, such as the lee
ture course. The new building hoped for
by the association calls for the expendi-
ture Of 100000, Of which amount it is hoped
that goo can be raised by the sale of the
present building. A location on Pennsyl
vania street is now being sought in order
to remove the building from the association
of saloons as it is placed at present. Failing
in the plan of raising the necessary amount
it is planned to remodel the present build
ing into a ten-story building, with full
equipment which will not be the ideal plan
but will be an improvement over the pres
ent situation.

THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
IrvingtOn Can Now Improve It's Main
ThOrOughfare.

The temporary order granted last week
restraining the Irvington Town Board from
awarding a contract for the Improvement
of Washington street, from Wallace street
to Central avenue, was dissolved yesterday
by Judge Carter.
Those who sought the injunction alleged
that they would be given no opportunity to
demonstrate as to the kind of pavement
they should have if the Town Board was
allowed to advertise for bids on macadam,
brick and asphalt for the same street in one
ordinance. The court held yesterday that
in the other cases cited as similar to this
one the real objection had been that the
board left the selection Of the kind of pave
ment to the bidders; whereas, in the present
case, the Town Board had expressly re-
served to itself the right to select the kind
that there was no vaguenesS left by the
advertisement as to the bids by the contrac-
tors, and that the property owners had am
pie opportunity to demonstrate against any
pavement which should be advertised The
point that the board would exceed the
towns limit of debt in paying for the cross
ings was dismissed by the court, on the
ground that street crossings could be paid
for out of current revenues, and these had
not been shown insufficient for the expense.
An appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court.
Yesterday afternoon Sarah Hibben filed
another injunction suit against the Irving
ton Town Board, which is similar in its
allegations to those made in the Hay suit
dismissed by Judge Carter Sarah Hibben

year to prevent the Improvement of Wash

Since the efforts to wipe out the ticket
scalpers have become so vigorous 1t has
become apparent that some of the roads,
when I'm need of funds, were in the habit

the brokers if they sold them at much less
than regular rates.
The delay on the railroads owing to wash
outs is proving quite a serious matter for
the cerealine mills and manufacturers or
all kinds of products from corn, the re-
ceipts being so light that they have been
obliged to shut down more or less, and
some of the mills have been unable to fill
export orders on vessels leaving in early

CAUGHT A TRUNK EN- ROUTE
An Extravaganza Company Tempo
rariIy Held Up.

The Fay Foster Extravaganza Company
which appeared at the Empire Theater
week before last passed through the city
Sunday morning on the way to Cincinnati
where the company opened Sunday after
noon. There was f1utter of excitement
among the young women of the company
when Constables Whitsell and Sheppard,
bearing writ of attachment from Justice
of the Peace NickersoIi's court, appeared
at the Union Station and swooped down on
the Monon train which brought the COM
pany from Chicago. The consta bulary was
after anything it could find in the way of
property that could be legally attached
With the company during its engagement
here was Albert w. Maddox and his wife,
Florence Beach Maddox, who appeared dur
ing the week in a rather clever sketch. Ac-
cording to the story Of Maddox and his
wife, Manager Stanley Whiting was in
debt to them for salary, and. being unable
to get a settlement they left the company
at the end of the week. The constaples say
the writ of attachment was issued while
the company was here but when they went
to the theater to execute the writ they
found there was a prior claim
When it was learned that the company
would pass through the city yesterday
Sheppard and WhitSel went to the station
prepared to serve the writ. When the
ence of the officers in the baggage car there
was an indignant protest from the men and
the women were thrown into CONSERVATION.
The constabies searched the car, but the
only article visible that appeared to belong
to the management was large trunk bear
ing the name of whiting A broad
shouldered acrobat sat on the trunk and
was at first disircined to move Being re-
inforced by the other men OF the company
and an army of fair chorus singers, the
acrobat took decided stand. He reconsid-
cred, however when there was a threat to
take the whole company in custody The
officers were finally allowed to take away
the managers trulk, and it was carted up
town to Magistrate Nickerson's Office. The
officers think the trunk is packed with
copated Sandy which is being worked as
a speciality by the Fay Foster company.
Manager Zimmerman, of the Empire The
ater. visited Justice Nickerson's court yes
terday and asked what it would require TO
have the trunk released He was informed
that Maddox and his wife would have to O., be
paid in full Unless the account is settled
the trunk will be sold at public auction.
Maddox and wife are still in the city They
hold a claim against the Fay Foster COM

COMPROMISE MAY FAIL.
New York Banks Have Not Accepted
Encyclopedias Offer.

There is a strong intimation that the pro-
posed compromise of the insolvent Krag-
Reynolds Company with its creditors Will
be failure, although the attorneys for the
company say there is yet possibility of sue
cess Three weeks ago when the company's
attorneys made their proposition to the
creditors it was expected the litigation
would be settled by April 1. Since then a
number of creditors, it is understood, have
sgnified willingness to accept the terms
offered. 1t has been the understanding, how
ever, that unless the New York banks
the heaviest creditors under the second
mortgage-accepted the offer of the COM
pany, a compromise could hardly be hoped
for.
1t was learned yesterday that the New
York banks were not disposed to accept the
proposition sent out three weeks ago. The
New York bank Indebtedness aggregates
about $150.000 This indebtedness was to b
settled on fifty-cent basis. AS part of the
settlement the Krag- Reynolds Company Of
fered the banks an equity in certain real es-
tate, amounting to $500 and about $4,000
of accounts held by the company at the time
of the assignment. The banks, 1t seems, are
willing to accept the real estate and ac-
counts, but they demand that some one
guarantee the appraised value of the &C
counts The attorneys for the company are
doubtful about geing able to meet this phase
of the litigation.
1t was stated yesterday that unless some
satisfactory arrangement was made with
the banks in the next few days, the proposed
settlement would be declared off and the in
vestigation in the Circuit Court proceed.
The examination into the mortgages given
by the Krag-Reynolds Company was re-
quested by Assignee Reagan shortly after
his appointment by Judge Allen. The date
was set for the investigation, but it was
postponed at the solicitation of all the attor-

there was a possibility of settlement.
