elected president of the S'rantor
school board for the coming year with
out opposition and d. J. Reedy was
chosen solicitor. also without opposi-
ton. Both received the votes Of every
member present
Talk was current during the day that
a surprise party was in store for the
evening and that the Jennings wing
of the board had secured an additional
vote but evidently this vote must have
been later lost, IL 1t was ever secured
at all.
After the new members, Messrs. Ey-
non. O'Malley and Golden. had taken
their seats, Mr.. Roche and Mr.. Langan
were nominated for temporary chair
man. Mr.. Koche was elected and the
vote on his election showed how the
wind blew. and that the Jennings fac
ton was still on the under side. The
vote was as follows:

Alr. Gibbons then nominated Mr..
Jayne for president, speaking of him
as "a man who is credit to the dis
trict" The nomination was seconded
by Mr.. Shires and on motion of H. j.
O'Malley the nominations wee then
closed. Mr.. Schwass. for some peculiar
reason, wanted the secretary to COM

Twenty-frst ward, but Mr. Langan
objected so strenuously that Mr..
Schwass withdrew the motion. The
roll being called showed every men,

Mr.. Golden then nominated d. J.

Eugene d. Fellows, who was nominat-

then took the chair and made a few
remarks, thanking the board for the
confidence reposed in him. Secretary
Fellows also thanked the board for his
reelection.
Mr.. Evans moved that the same rules
as last year be adopted and that the
board meet on the second and fourth
Mondays Of every month, as hereto

The Joint estimates committee of
councils made record for itself last
evening by concluding it's labors on the
estimates sent In by the various heads
of departments. This was in line with
q suggestion made by the chairman,
MIR. Chittenden, who said that there
was no particular use in wasting much
grey matter on the estimates, as they
would have to run the gauntlet of both
branches Of councils and would be lit
orally torn to pieces.
The first thing the committee did was
to put back the ten per cent. which was
taken from the ward appropriations at
the last meeting. This was done by
motion Of Mr. Ross. This left a mar
gin of only 500 to draw upon for any
other extras.
Nine hundred dollars was taken from
the reduced item Of $4,000 for judg-
ments and incidentals and was placed
under the head of the police depart
ment, to be used for extra telephones
In lieu Of the police alarm system ad-
vocated by Chief Robling. Another 5000
was taken from this item and applied
to the salary Of the assistant city solic-
itor, making that $1,000.
AMOUNTS TRANSFERRED.
One hundred dollars was taken from
the item Of repairs on Elm street" and
was applied to the salary of Chief
walkers clerk. making it $500. The
following transfers were made In order
to fill out the decrease Of $500 in the
salary of mayors clerk, made at the
last meeting: 500 from the item of
500 for repair Of hose; $50 from the
item of $3.50 for incidentals for the
police, and $3.50 from the item for judg-
ments and incidentals.
One hundred dollars was taken from
each of the two following items and
was transferred to salary of park
policeman: $500 for parade and inspec-
ton and $4,1iO for rent Of engine
houses; 800 was taken from the item
Of 500 for cleaning brick, cobblestone
and block pave and was transferred to
the salary Of the food inspector, maxi
ing It $1,000 year.
Chief Walker and a number Of other
heads of departments were present, but
the chief was the only one who had
much to say. He said that II his esti-
mate Is cut there was no use Of any
complaint arising as to why the de-
partment was not more efficient. He
stated that there are six pieces Of ap-
paratus which will have to be repaired
at once at cost Of not less than $500.
MANY HAD SCHEMES.
1t was not without some difficulty
that the estimates were finally passed.
as some Of the members had enough
schemes on foot to make interesting
wrangling for at least three or four
more meetings.
The estimates as they now stand foot
up $311,S96. or just $29 below the esti-
mated revenues.

PUPILS Acou1T THEMsELvEsee
Evening Of Rare Enjoyment at the
Bicvcle Club House.

The pupils of j. T. watkins gave a
musicale at the Bicycle club house last
evening, II being one of the series OF
entertainments which the Bicycle club
Is giving this winter. a programme of
unusual interest was presented. Dur
ing the evening a number Of fine songs
were rendered by Scranton amateurs
for the first time.
Miss Martha G. Matthews. soprano
and j. w. Jones, basso. rendered the
duet Calm as the Night" by Goetz
in good style. Miss Kathryn DeSales
Gibbons. a young lady whose contralto
voice is Of rare quality, sang For

sion and feeling.
Miss Teresa Hanaway. of prepos-
sessing appearance and the possessor
Of sweet soprano voice. we'll placed
and under good control for one so
young, gave two excellent numbers in
striking contrast. one with the other.
A slight tremolo was noticeable, in
duced by nervousness: yet, on the
whole. the work of this young lady
was very acceptable.
The famous Schubert quartette con-
tributed two numbers in their usually
satisfactory manner: one, melody.
proved highly entertaining, and the
Vocal March" was powerful in it's
rhythm. The blending of the four
voices is almost perfect, and enuncia-
tion is very good.
The GODDARD Lullaby" from the
opera of "Jocelyn," by Miss Alice
Burke, who possesses a rich contralto
voice of extended range. was finely
rendered. and showed a vast improve
ment in the head register, which has
grown very resonant. Her singing dis
played her rare taste and intelligence.
She was compelled to respond to an
encore.
owing to Mr.. Watkins illness the
trio was omitted. for which many re-
grets were expressed. Mr.. Watkins
came from a sick bed to participate in
and carry out the programme, demon
strating his grit and purpose not, II
possible. to disappoint his audience.
Miss Martha C. Matthews sang with
thrilling effect the "Nymphs and
"Fawns." by Bemberg. The selection is
| rather difficult yet she sang it with
beauty and flexibilty Of voice and tim
bre of surprising excellence.
Inc Strong, lllpaSSlOndte SoIlS, sun

magnificent rendering by Miss Anna

proportions and resident quality, free

which were highly appreciated.
