Pittstou, March 29.--Police officers
Cummerville and Weather went to the
home Of a man in Browntown at 8
o'clock this morning with a warrant
for his arrest. charged with creating
disturbance in a city saloon. The man
was in bed and, refusing to dress and
go with the officers peaceably, he was
marched to the city lookup, distance
of over a mile. with nothing on but
his underclothes.
The Peoples Telephone company has
a force Of men at work stringing wires
between Pittston and Wilkes Barre.
The work will probably be finished by
next Monday.
Mrs. Margaret Bragg. aged So years.
q resident of West Pittston for the
past forty-fve years, died this after
noon at o'clock from heart trouble.
with which she had been troubled for
several years past
Recent meetings of both branches OF
Pittston's city councils are character.
ICED by very lively scenes and debates.
Last nights meeting of the select was
no exception. A bill from Attorney
John T. Lenahan, Of Wilke s-Barre. for
$400 for professional services in con-
nection with the recent trouble with
the Taxpayers association. who sought
to prevent the council from purchasing
a new city hall lot at an exhorbitant
price. almost staggered some of the
members, who were loud in objections
to the bill. 1t was finally laid on the
table. The ordinance providing for
the payment Of s1,465.29 to Sewer Con-
tractor Healey for extra rock work on
the William street sewer brought out
a debate that assumed a high pitch.
1t was the discussion of this same or
dinance which caused the disturbance
at the last meeting of the commoners,
and resulted in a law suit by which
Contractor Healey was sent to Jail
for disorderly conduct. The ordinance
passed finally last evening notwith-
standing the objections. The appoint
ment Of a member of the board Of
health created another uproar. during
which Chairman Joyce refused to put
a motion, and for which action he was
denounced in emphatic terms by Coun-
Gilman Bowman. The result Of this
appointment will have considerable
weight in the choosing Of a health Of
ficer by the board. hence the i'm
portance as to who receives the ap-
pointment.

Tunkhannock, March ga contem-
plated change of time on the Valley
road may result in giving Tunkhan-
mock a morning train down the road.
The company Is having new cars built
for the Black Diamond Express and
the talk is that through train is to
be put on the next schedule passing
through here about 10 o'clock in the
morning, and using the cars now in
use on the Diamond. In connection
with this it Is proposed to have an ear
ly train down from Montrose connect
ing with this train for New York and
Philadelphia. This may result in some
changes in Tunkhannock. as the Mont
rose train in that case will be obliged
to lay at Montrose over night, instead
of at Tunkhannock and the employees.

move.

TO CHANGE TIME LIMIT.
Councilmen Want Crossings Blocked
Only Five Minutes.

1t is known that an effort will be
made Immediately after the reorgan-
ization Of councils to amend the ordi-
nance prohibiting railroad companies
from blocking the streets of the city.
The amendment will be offered in COM
mon council and will provide that the
time limit shall be five minutes, in
stead of eight as at present.
1t will be remembered that a resolu.
tion was recently introduced directing
the chief Of police to enforce the ordi-
nance as it now stands. This passed
common council, but was referred in
select to the streets and bridges conf
mittee and never saw the light Of day
thereafter. A similar resolution will be
introduced at the same time as the
amendment.
The West Scranton councilmen are
especially interested in the passage OF
both the amendment and the resolu-
tion, as they are almost daily besieged
by their constituents to have some
steps taken tending to relieve the pres
ent blocking Of the West Lackawanna
avenue and Scranton street crossings
by the Lackawanna railroad.

The finance committee Of the board
of control will meet tonight and con-
slider the estimates of the required ex.
penses for the coming fiscal year sent
in by the other committees of the
board. There are now grave doubts
about the fulfillment Of President
Jayne's promise that the tax levy for
the coming year will be reduced, as
every estimate received so far Ia way
in excess of the appropriation made
last year.
The members of the building COM
mittee have been making their annual
inspection of the school buildings
throughout the city during the past
week and last night had inspected all
but nine. While there will be no new
buildings erected during the coming
year, nevertheless the committee has
found that many, and In some instances
very extensive repairs will have to be
made, more, probably, than have been
necessitated for many years past.

The letters were enjoyed by the
class as they were strongly charac.

the closing exercises of the State
Normal AT Westchester. Pa, where
there was class of 1875 graduates.
We would like TO give the descrip.
ton Of the class az they entered, al
40 OF the exercises, but space will
not permit.
She also attended the graduating
exercises OF the high school of the
same place IS graduating.
There they have ten months in
the school year. We are thankful
we can have eight months.
Miss Smiths letter treated of the
work OF the State Normal during
the summer term and also the stud.
les the author and her room mate,
Miss Rhoda Bowers, were pursuing
during the present term.
Both were studying psychology
and devoting four hours each day
to that subject-three hours in pre-.
pairing their work and one hour in
recitation. How essential it is that
all teachers should know some
thing of the minds they are ex.
pected to develop. as well as the
subject matter which they are ex.
pected TO teach. We wish It might
be possible for all teachers TO take
the same opportunity these two
have done, for intellectual develop
