MCCORMICK UNExCELLED
MOWERS AND RAKES.


At the school meeting Wednesday
evening, Trustee Bergh suggested that it
might be better for the interests OF our
schools, if the employment Of other
teachers were left until after the school
election in June, and thus leave the new
board of education, which is to be
elected then, nnhampered by the action
Of the present board. But this sugges-
ton had little weight WITH the steering
committee, who were determined to
rule the roost, even if the whole struc.
ture collapsed.

ANNUAL MEETING
Of the G. II. & V. Has Been
Set For Novem-
ber 18th.

The annual meeting of the Pittsburg
& Western is set for the 18th, and that
of the Cleveland, Terminal and Valley
for the 18th of the present month, and
it is confidently expected in well posted
railroad circles that the future of these
pieces of property will be definitely de-
cided. 1t will be decided, therefore,
whether or not the Baltimore & Ohio
will operate them. Thomas w. King,
president of the p. & W., is going to
prevent the B. & o. getting the prop
erty if he can, and has been turning
every loose stone since the decision in
the Allegheny courts, but from all that
can be learned the case is going against
him, and it is highly probable that the
b. & o. will win easily.

A codification Of the municipal laws
of this state will probably be completed
in a few months, which, If adopted, by
the Legislature, will entirely change the
government of various cities and viii
lagos throughout this state, and as a
result this city will have adopted the
metropolitan" style of police depart
ment. A copy of that part of the code
with reference to a change in the police
or municipal department of this city,
was received few days ago by Mayor
Robertson. In it there is distinctly a
difference as to the classification of cit
les and villages All places with less
than 5000 residents are established as
villages, while places with more resi-
dents are Disseminated as cities, and
prescribed municipal department has
been arranged for such cities irrespec-
tive of what the law may have been be-
fore. Villages, under the codification,
will have a much better municipal gov
ernment than heretofore, while the cit
les as enumerated under the code, will
in all respects obtain to better gov
ernment in a municipal manner than
before. Instead of cities being arranged
in classes, this classification will en-
tirely be done away with, and all cities
will adopt the same mode Of municipal
government. The scheme Of the new
plan follows:
The office of marshal will be abolished
and chief of police will be appointed.
The mayor will be elected by the peo-
pie at large, also a police Judge, pros
ecuting police court attorney, and city
treasurer. The council will then be
formed of only seven paid members,
who will be required to give bond.
Their sureties will be obliged to hold
themselves responsible for any loss of
| money incurred in which that body did
not receive the advice of the director
appointed to that department to be
known as the director of law. The
mayor will have the power Of appoint
ing four directors, namely, director of
law, director of accounts, director of
public safety and director of public i'm
provements. These directors shall have
the authority to discharge any occupant
Of office under their supervision, but
shall not have the power to appoint or
