HIGH SCHOOL WAR.
Seniors and Juniors Playing Horse
With Each Other.

The senior and junior classes at the
high school are at war with each other
and Professor Whittemore is sitting as
a board of arbitration trying to settle
the matter without bloodshed-
At the last commencement the seniors
hoisted their class flag over the school
building. When no one was around the
juniors hauled it down and hid it. The
seniors have been trying to have the
juniors fight out the difficulty and a
week ago posted dodgers on the walls
of the school building calling for the
juniors to come out in the open and
challenging them to mortal combat
Last night the juniors posted dodgers
on the walls of the school building call
ing the seniors 'frea1ish' and other

Never before perhaps was the street
car system of great city so complete
" tied up as was that of st. Louis yes
terday. The reasons assigned by the
strikers for their action, at this dis
lance, hardly seem to justify their
course. It is a serious matter to stop
the traffic Of a great city to the extent
that it has been done in st. Louis and
It should not be done except for reasons
of great gravity. There appears to be no
question of hours or wages involved.
The point at issue seems to be whether
the companies shall run the business as
seems to them best or at the dictation
Of the employees. One of the demands
Of the strikers is that a man when ex-
PEELED from the union shall be discharg-
ed by the company. Let this be grant,
ed and the time might soon come when
the union would demand the discharge
Of company officials who did not suit
the members. Striking workmen usual
ly have the sympathy of the masses,
but If they expect to hold it they must
not become unreasonable. The people
are quick to distinguish between the
right and the wrong Of a question. At
ter all, the better way might be for the
street car men Of St. Louis to work and
vote for city ownership of the lines.

BUTCHERS REBEL.
Threaten to Ship Ice in to Fight the
Trust.

A number of Topeka butchers have
decided to fight the local ice trust by
contracting for ice to be shipped in
from northern points.
The price made to butchers by the
Peoples Ice company, which controls
the output of all the factories, is 81
ton, and there is talk of its being ad-
vanced to $3.50. The price made by
manufacturers to butchers last year
was $3.50. The butchers believe they
can ship in natural ice for $50 a ton.
The ice will be shipped in car load lots,
several times q week.

Miners Celeb rato May Day.

A monster parade OF Scranton miners
was hold on Tuesday afternoon. There
were over 5000 miners In line, which
included only the members of tho
United Mine Workers of that city. Sew
eral collieries where the foremen were
opposed to the wishes Of the men and
wanted to operate were forced to shut
down, as the miners refused to work.
Whether tho operators will regard this
as signal for hostilities or not remains
to be determined, but matters are in
such shape now that a single overt act
on either side is liable to precipitate an
an open contest.
Speaker Farr presided at an open
meeting held after the parade and ad-
dresses were delivered by Organizer
Dilcher, Of Ohio; Organizer James, of
Jeanesville; A. C. Cattermull, OF Chi
cago, and others. The miners want a
shorter day, standard tonnage, a check
weighmaster, cheaper powder and bet
ter ventilation in the mines.

The long-delayed decision of the
Schuylkill court relative to q new trial
for the seven Lithuanians who were
found guilty in November, 1899, of the
murder of Joseph Ruthowski at William
Penn, was given on Monday. 1t was
an order for trial which will be held
at the May term Of criminal court,
beginning next week. There was no
opinion in the case and the order was
signed by the judges, When the pris-
oners were informed that they were to
have new trial they wept tears OF Joy.
These seven men at their first trial
were found guilty of killing Rutkowski,
whose death was decided upon by the
"Zukos" Society, a death-dealing or
ganiaation, Of which all were alleged to
be members.

Supreme Court Deo,,ion.

The supreme court has handed down
decisions reversing the court Of Lacka-
wanna county In two cases that are Of
Importance to third-class cities. The
decisions declare that the law with re-
ference to school boards In cities OF the
third class Is constitutional. The school
affairs OF Scranton, Hazleton and Pitts
ton are looked after by a board consist
ing OF two members from each ward. It
was held that the law under which these
men were acting was unconstitutional,
and that the board ought to be made up
from six men elected from the city at
large. A test case was brought and the
lower court decided that the board
chosen by wards had no legal standing.
The same issue was raised at Pittston,
and the Luzerne county courts ruled as
did the Lackawanna court. The
Scranton board took an appeal to the
supreme court and the decision Just
given Is against the board OF six. In
the second case the constitutionality of
the act Is again sustained, and il is
further decided that the city controller
must audit the accounts OF the school
district without other compensation
than that allowed by the city.
