Deadlock in the Township.

Since the reorganization Of the West Nah
anoy Township School Board, by the election
of president, secretary and treasurer, and
the reappointment of Principal Gallagher,
the members of the Board have been in dead
lock over the election of the thirty teachers.
The Board is equally divided. the Democratic
members being P. J. Ferguson, Thomas Dixon
and John Donlan. The directors elected
by the Citizens party are Anthony Flannery,
John McAndrew and Patrick Dsvine. There
have been two meetings held to elect teachers
the last meeting being held last evening, and
each time they failed to break the deadlock.
The Citizens members demand one half of
the teachers, while the Democratic members
take the position that it is for the best inter
ests of the schools to retain ALL old teachers
so long as they give satisfaction. There is
not much prospect of breaking the deadlock
and in that event the court will be required
to appoint new Board.

ENDED life
AN OUTCAST
Once a Respectable Resident, But Dies
Homeless and FriendleSS.
NARY PATTERSON THE VICTIM
she Was Found Dead in Howell Last Might.
An Investigation Made by a Coro-
ner's Jury That Finds Death
Was Due 70 Alcoholism.

Mrs. Mary Patterson, died suddenly last
evening at the house Of Mrs Elizabeth
Hudson, on North Plum alley The history
Of the case unravels a story Of rapid decline
from industry and respectability to reckless
ness, dissipation, and ultimate death in the
squslid apartments Of a stranger.
Several years ago the deceased was a
woman of enviablo standing in the commun-
ity and many who heard Of her death last
night remarked that they remembered how
she tOiled for her family when the husband
was stricken with illness Finally he died
A second marriage followed some years after,
the union being with one John Patterson,
and in time he deserted her II is said he
went West. The desertiOu, il is claimed. was
followed by recklessness and desperation,
and finally to an existence without home, OF
family ties, and death alone in quarters
hardly fit to shelter beasts, much less human
beings.
Deputy Coroner Burke and jury held an
inquest in the case last night and the prin-
cipal witness was Mrs. Elizabeth Hudson,
known also as Williams. Tho substance OF
the evidence Of this witness was that the de.
ceased called at the house between 8 and Z
o'clock yesterday morning, in an intoxi-
Gated condition. She left and re.
turned to the house several times during the
day. The Hudson woman was busy carrying
her household effects TO the Lehigh Valley
station for removal to Pottsville, and paid nc
particular attention to her guest until be.
tween and o'clock in the evening, when
she found her in the front room of the hoyel
apparently i'll. Neighbors were summoned
and DIR. P. F. Burke was called. He found
the woman dead.
Among the other witnesses examined were
Mrs. Louisa Becker, Harry Geise, JOSEPH
Belts and Mrs. Kate Christ, but nothing wa
CLEANED save testimony bearing upon the
dissipated habits of the unfortunate woman
Incidentally it was learned that two months
ago the deceased went to Beaver Valley b
become housekeeper for a farmer On Tues
day last she came to town to see her ffteer
year old son, who is bright, industrious boy
residing with family on West Line street
She intended returning to Beaver Valley
yesterday afternoon. The Coroner's jury
rendered verdict finding that death wa
due to alcoholism.
Mrs. Patterson was about 40 years old
Besides her Is year old son, she is survived
by son and three daughters, the issue o
her first marriage They are not residing il
town at present. Undertaken O'Hara ha
| taken charge of the remains, but arrange
ments for the interment have been deferred
pending the receipt of instructions from tn,
deceased's daughters, who are at Scranton

THE PEACE
CONFERENCE
Deadlocked by the Attitude of the
British Premier.
HIS DEMAND ON SMALL POWERS.

British Delegates Forbidden to Sign
the Convention Unless Nou-R Repre-
sented Powers Agree to Certain Con
ditions without Reserve.
London, July 2s.-The peace confer
ence at The Hague Is deadloCked Lord
Salisbury, the British premier, has de-
clined to give Sir Julian Pauncefote
and the other English delegates per-
mission to sign the agreement OF the
convention unless the non-represented
powers agree to certain conditions
without reserve.
He desires to exclude such powers
unless the other powers unanimously
agree to admit them in writing.
Whether the great powers represented
ut the conference can be united on the
proposition is a serious question.
Lord Salisbury's action is regarded
as aimed at the Transvaal republic and
the other new republics. II is looked
upon here as indicating that the British
government is anticipating war with
the Beers, and does not want TO be
confined by any conditions that will
not be equally binding upon the Dutch
republic.
The Balkan states have been de-
nouncing international commissions
Of inquiry. Beldiman, OF Roumania,
has protested against the indirect
moral restraint that was being brought
to bear upon the smaller nations to
compel them to keep peace. Greek and
Servian delegates supported him.
The Balkan states have also opposed
international arbitration. On the
question of the "dum-dum" bullets
England had the support OF America
in opposing their prohibition.
A dispatch from The Hague says
that the committee engaged in draft
ing the definite acts spent all OF yes
terday in attempting to reconcile the
demand of Sir Julian Pauncefote that
non-signatory powers be entitled to
adhere to the arbitration convention
only by the unanimous consent of the
signatory powers and the amendment
of Count Nigra, of the Italian delega-
tion, permitting such adhesion II no
power opposes. The attempts, how
ever, were without result.
The plenary conference adopted the
preamble dealing with the laws and
customs of war, and the adaptation of
| the Geneva convention to naval war
| The articles of the two conventions
were definitely adopted.
The arbitration scheme still awaits
| Great Britain's acceptance of an ac-
! cession to the plan.

the side of the police force Of this town for
many weeks, has at last been placed behind

and feet. in buggy. On the 7th inst Sa-
vitsky again escaped from the lookup. The
man who aided him is in the Pottsvile Jail,
awaiting rial for his sympathy. A few days
later Savilsky was re-captured at Sheppton
by a constable Of that place. but on the same
night the prisoner escaped from the con-
stables house.
While patrolling East Lloyd street at bbout
two o'clock this morning, Policeman Heaton
found Savitsky standing in an alley and took
him into custody. The officer placed his
prisoner in Che lookup and left the place, but
soon after returned and found Savitsky had,
in some unknown manner, broken the lock of
his cell and was about TO leave. Heaton stood
guard after that and hustled his man down to
Pottsyille on the first train. A charge OF
burglary and three charges of escape will be

Speaking Of the strike at Scranton, the

our former townsman, Mr.. B. F. Laudig 1:
Secretary Laudig, of the Builders Ex-
change, is one Of the men who have sprung
into prominence in this city during the
strike. Previously but few people were
really aware of the object of the exchange
and did not realize that such a powerful or
gsnization existed among the ranks of the
employers in the building trades The strike
has disclosed, however, that the exchange
has numerous ramifcatiOns and was we'll
prepared for the controversy. To great ex-
tent this was due to the untiring energy of
Mr., Laudig, who assiduously worked in the
organizations of the various branches. and,
as soon as the strike was threatened, mar
