The members Of the special COM
mittee Of the Scranton school board,
appointed to consider the transition of
Scranton from third to a second
class city and the effect which such
a transition would have upon the
Scranton school district have decided
that the best thing to do is to have
one of the local members of the legls-
lature introduce early in the coming
session an act entirely repeating the
act Of 1895, known as the Kennedy
act.
1t is understood that this repeating
act is now being drawn up and that
Senator Vaughan will have 1t in his
inside pocket when he Journeys to
Harrisburg at the end of this week.
A difference OF opinion exists as to
whether the Supreme court decision
in the case of Chalfont versus Ed
wards declared the whole Of this act
unconstitutional or only part of it,
The boards attorney, d. j. Reedy,
contends that It declared the whole
act void and that it no longer is in
existence, but there are other attor-
neys who differ with this view. The
committee Is unanimous in Its belief
that the application of even a part
Of this act to this district would prove
runous and it Is believed that the
best and surest way to wipe 1t off the
statute books is to have 1t repealed.
ANOTHER REASON.
There Is another reason actuating
the committee in so resolving, and
that is the danger of the election of
a board of fifteen and the consequent
heavy expense of litigation 1t is un-
derstood that the litigation caused by
the effort of the members Of the board
of six to have themselves declared the
legal school board of this district cost
the board of twenty-one thousands,
and the members of the present
school board have no desire to have
another such heavy item of expense.
No opposition to the passage of such
a repeating act Is looked for. The
school districts of Pittsburg and Allie
gheny, which are the only two, out
side of Scranton, interested, are not
operating under the act of 1895. and
could not therefore, be expected to
oppose such a measure.
If the act of 1895 is repealed. then
the Scranton school district. in the
opinion of Solicitor Reedy, must nee
esarily continue under its present
system of government. Pittsburg
and Allegheny are operating under
special acts and in the absence Of any
general second class city law, this
district would be obliged, he contends.
to continue with it's present board Of
twenty-one in power

ANOTHER DAY OF
 M0L|NEUX TRIAL Prosecution Did Not Rest Its Case as Expected-Want
 Another Expert.

New York, January 19.-The unexpac. ed happened today in the trial of Roland B. Molineux and the prosecution did not rest its case, confdentially expected yester- day by Assistant District Attorney Osborne. prosecution had proceeded to gather up the Tagged ends of the case.
 One end for the delay was the desire of the state to have handwriting expert Will jam F. Hagan, of Troy. N. Y., make chemical analysis of the ink used in ex- hibit "F' consisting of letter marked HI. c. Barnet in response to which a western medical firm sent book to Bar net at Heckmans private letter box agency.
 Heckman had testified that Molineux hired letter box from him in Barnets name, and that after doing so he made some corrections with pen to a letter which he had in his hand. The prosecution is of the opinion that If he can show that two different kinds of ink were used in writing this particular letter it will be strong evidence that Hickman was telling the truth in this particular matter. This line of procedure was suggested as re- suit of the clever examination of the wit ness by Foreman Martin of the jury.
 Mir Douglass being recalled to the stand, some rather stormy passages at arms oc- cured between Assistant District Attorney Osborne and the medical man. As in his former explanation Dr. Douglass persist ently insisted that his patient, H. c. Bar net, had died of heart failure and not from cyanide of mercury poisoning. However, MT. Osborne scored point by showing that a powder had been sent through the mails to Barnet.

 don't believe that the English people are in favor of this war believe that the great queen on pended knees has prayed that the war might be averted; I don't be- 1eve that the premier of England favored the war. It was the act and movement of sharp cabinet minister, engaged with gold spectators which favored the war"
 At the conclusion of MT. Hale's speech the resolution, as amended by MT Spooner. was adopted.
 The following bills were passed
 TO Tatlfy an agreement with the Indians or ft.

 Whereas, Said lack of conrol has led to the overstocking of many of the ranges, thereby destroying the sod on large tracts of the public lands to the detriment of the national government, as well as to the stockmen and,

 Whereas, The stockmen feel that jus ed regarding national legislation affecting national ranges of the west on which they have lived and made their homes for years; therefore be it

COUNTER CLAIMS
 OF REPUBLICANS
Took Up the Entire Time of the
 Contesting Board.
SOME LENGTHY ARGUMENTS
The Board Finally Decided That the Contesting Notice Should be Ad- mitted, it Having Been
 Filed in Time

Frankfort, Ky, January 19.-The reading of the counter-c9aims of the republican in- cumbents to the gubernatorial contest. ar gdments over the admissibility and argu- ments to strike it partially out after its admission, comprised the work of the con testing boards today. and the last mention ed arguments were not concluded when an adjournment was taken until tomorrow.
 The democratic attorneys made a de- termined fight against the admission of the counter claim, saying that it covered so much ground and so many different coun- ties that it would be impossible for them to prepare evidence to controvert it inside of three months.
 After it had been admitted they declared they would make attempt to offset It's allegations because of the physical impossi- bility of bringing to Frankfort the great number of witnesses necessary for the oper- ation.
 Governor Bradley dn asking the board to grant him as much time as possible an- nounced that the republicans had suo- poenaed 2,700 witnesses.
 When the boards convened at ? o'clock, an hour was consumed in discussion of the time to be allowed each side for the pre- sentation of evidence in accordance with the resolution passed by the legislature Tn the morning.
 The matter was finally left in abeyance to be settled later, 1t being agreed, how ever, that the democrats should be allowed to have three extra hours in compensation of the time taken from their original all lotment by the arguments of counsel.
 The republicas presented for filing with the contest boards, the counter notice of the republican party to the contest. The notice was very long, requiring three hours for reading. T'he scope of the notice has already been published.
 The Evening SessIon
 At the opening of the evening session the democrats objected strongly to the filing of the contesting notice,( claiming it was against all legislative procedure to admit such document after the trial had been formally opened. A long argument be tween the opposing counsel followed.
 In replying to the argument of the demo- cratic attorneys that the notice should nave been prepared by the time the con- test began, Governor Bradley, who made the argument for the republicans, claimed that the law gave MT. Goepel thirty days after the opening of the Legislature in which to prepare his case, and the repub- licans had prepared their side within thir- ty, which brought them inside the law. He asserted that the counter notice had
