MUTINY IN A TROLLEY CAR
Passengers Refused to Obey Orders
of Conductor and What Hap
pened as Result.

There was very exciting time in one
Of the Scranton Railway company's
Green Ridge cars last evening on the
siding at New York street.
About 8 o'clock the running Of cars
becomes uncertain because of the
heavy travel and limited number of
cars. The schedule becomes disar-
ranged and It Is the custom to transfer
the passengers from one car to an
other on some siding to straghten
things out This. for the patrons of
the road, is very much of a nuisance.
Last evening the usual crowd was
waiting. Fortyfive was the number of
passengers registered. The trip was
very slowly made to New York street
and the suburbanites realized that it
was going to be the same old Change
cars, please" and. whispering togeth-
er. they determined sto insist on being
carried on that particular car to Green
Ridge. The conductor insisted, the
suburbanites persisted. Neither side
would give in. A few ladies' left the
car. frightened at the awful saucy"
way some OF the men talked to the
conductor. Finally the conductor got
through suffering and said he'd be
"blistered' if he was going to stay
there all night and started back to
town.
There were eleven good men and
true and one woman who stayed right
with him on the burning deck.
When half way back he went to col
lect fares from his passengers.
The gang refused.
The conductor said: I'm sorry, but
if you don't pay I'll have to stop the
car and put You Off"
The eleven men suggested that he
so right ahead: it would help vary the
monotony of the long ride they were
having to Green Ridge.
well, If can't do it I'll get police
man." said the resourceful conductor.
Again the crowd merely scoffed and
suggested that he had better get more
than one.
This brave conductor realized at last
that he was a man with an elephanton
his hands, and went back to the office
for instructions.
When he had told his sad story the
superintendent exclaimed:
"Why, you gibbering idiot, when you
We're up against a crowd like that why
didn't you run out to Green Ridge and
dump 'em. Go down now and run wild
cat. Don't stop for anything until you
get rid of EN-. The way the people are
acting around here makes me tired
That's what we get for having round
wheels on the cars. If you had one of
the cars with the eight-sided wheels
| they'd have been glad to get off any
where He knew whereof he spoke.

WORDS AND THEIR RELATIONS.
Address by Superintendent Howell
in the High School.

Superintendent George Howell deliv-
cred a very interesting and highly en-
tertainins lecture at the high school
yesterday morning on words and SPELL
ing. Mr.. Howell explained that he had
been actuated to address the students
by certain grave charges that have
been made. rejecting upon the spelling
ethics of the scholars. An examination
made by himself, he said, resulted very
satisfactorily. The freshman class of
the commercial department had an av-
erage of 90 while the old class aver
aged 80 and a fraction.
The etymology, history and develop
ment of words were described at
length. TO be good speller, the su-
perintendent said, three things We're
essential, a good eye, a good ear and a
genuine love for the study of words.
OF especial interest We're his remarks
on the relation of words.

RESOURCES OF BOARD.

1t is necessary to set aside one and
one-half mills for sinking fund pur-
poses, so that if a thirteen mill levy
is decided upon. eleven and one-half
mills is all that can be devoted to
general purposes. On a valuation of
23500, 900 this would make a revenue
of $270,25o. A little over three per cent.
must be allowed for generations and
commissions. This would leave the
amount available for city purposes at
about s260,000. The state appropria-
ton will be $1,000 The total revenue
therefore would be $337,0
II there We're no school houses to
build this revenue would nicely meet
the contemplated expenditures of the
coming year. and the $4,000 deficit from
last year But the school houses are
to be built and a bond issue in conse-
querce is inevitable.

SCRANTON OPERATORS ENGAGED
They Refused to Take the Place Of
Strikers.

Yesterdays New York World con-
tanned the following:
Ten young women arrived yesterday in Pater-
son from Scranton to accept positions offered
them as wcavers in the Frank /, Dugan mill.
When they learned strike was in progress
they refused TO accept the places and returned
to New York, where they expected to obtain
money to carry them back to Scranton.
We answered an advertisement in a news
paper" one oi the girls said "and applied at an
oifcc in New York. We we're told that all OF lis
could get work at Frank g. Dugan's and came
here, not knowing that there was strike, All
OF us are much in need OF money, but not one
is willing TO take the positions offered, now that
We know the situation"

TAX LEVY IS
TO BE LOWER
SCHOOL BOARD WILL CUT 1T
DOWN TO ELEVEN MILLS.
This Is Made Possible by Issuing
Bonds to Take Care of the Expense
of the Three New School Buildings
to Be Erected During the Coming
Summer-Controllers Believe Flu
ture Generations Should Help Pay
for School Buildings Which They
Too Will Use.

The school board is out for plaudits.
Its finance committee is figuring on
cutting the tax levy from fourteen to
thirteen mills. If there Is one thing
above another thing that makes a hit
with the taxpayer ii Is an announce
ment that the tax levy is tok be re-
duced.
Each succeeding regime" starts in
with the intention of making this hit.
but when the committees complete
their estimates and the finance COM
mittee concludes its work of arrang-
ing the budget. it is invariably found
that it is impossible to make the in
tended cut. The two or three men who
voted for the victorious chairman.
under promise OF securing the support
of the regime for new school houses in
their respective wards. insist upon the
goods being delivered, and the good in
tentions of the regime go to smash.
But the present regime" has found
a way out of the difficulty. 1t will
make the cut and also deliver the
goods to the two or three who had to
get promises of goods before they
would vote for the aforementioned VIC
torious chairman. The new regime will
Two eight-room and one four-room
buildings are to be erected. School
buildings cost about $500 a room.
This means an expenditure of $4,000.
BY the time the bond measure is ready
for passage a few other necessities will
have come to view and will be taken
care of. This will likely run the issue
up to $65.000.
WILL GET THE VOTES.
There will be a safe majority for the
bond issues. as number OF controllers
outside OF the eleven who controlled
the organization are of the opinion that
the present generation has paid it's
share of school building tax. and that
as school buildings do not have to be
duplicated every generation. it is no
more than right that future genera .
tions should be called upon to contrib
ute something in advance.
Last year the budget was made up of
items amounting to $3l6,000. This years
budget. as it stands now. amounts to
s342.470 This. however. is to be pared
down about $4,000. when the finance
committee meets on Monday evening to
prepare it's report for the board. AS
the estimates now stand. the budget is:
