RESOLUTIONS IGNORED.

sixteen of the pupils graduated from
No. 49, ignored the resolution and at
the rsopening of school went to No. H.
Mr.. Jennings brought the matter to
the attention Of the board At recent
meeting. and the superintendent was
directed 10 have these pupils trans
f-rred 10 No. Ii. The pupils refused
to go to No. Ii and are still out of
school
When the matter was up at the re-
cent meeting referred to. Mr Eynon
made an intima ton that the reason the
pupils objected to going to No. IL
was because the Grammar A teacher
was incompetent. At IN" opening OF
last nights meeting Mr Eynon read a
letter from the teacher explaining that
the reason No. l6 had not graduated
as large number of high school pupils
as the other Grammar \ schools was
because there were two grades in tn"
Grammar A room. Mr.. f.ynun read the
explanation without comment
Towards the close of the regular or
der of business. Mr.. Phillips, controller
of the Fifth, presented a petition from
the parents OF the sixteen graduates
setting forth that No. Il was always
considered the high school of the West
Side, that the pupils of No. IS worked
with the expectation they would go
to No. IL. that No. II was not crowded
and that as ii was the wish of all the
parents of the children in question that
they should go to No. II the board
would confer great favor by allowing
them that privilege.

anything to do with their objections
Mr.. Jennings insisted that il had, and
stated that at an Interview with the
committee in his office. one Of them
had remarked "You have so MANY
foreigners there" The committee ad-
mitted that in a private after-talk
concerning schools in general, one of
the committee had made some mention

PRESIDENT RESIGNED.
Head of Glass Workers Union Quits
his 0t1ice-Successo Designated.

PFrTsBURG, Aug. 23--John Kanzler
has resigned as president of the Amer
lean Flint Glass Workers union. Mr..
Kunzler has been prominent figure
in the glass industry for many years,
and his sudden exit from official CON
nectioH with the American flint Or
ganization will cause much surprise.
When seen at his home 152 South
Fifteenth street last night, president
Kunzler admitted that his resignation
had been handed in. but he declined
to give any reason for his action.
When his attention was called TO a
rum0r that he had resigned his OIL
cial position in order to go into the
glass business on his own account, he
stated that the report was absolutely
without foundation. President Kunz-
Ter, however, refused to say what he
was going to do after leaving his pres
ent official position. which he said,
would be on October 1st next.
Among glass men yesterday there was
talk that president Numbers resigna-
tion might not be accepted. Mr.
huHIlcE uIu H0G appear 10 tdke tHiS
seriouoly last night. He said that
when man resigned The presumption
was that he meant business and that
he certainly expected TO sever bis
official connection with the flint glass
people in October.
President Kunzier's successor will
be G. e. Voitle now vice president,
who will fill the place for the unex-
pired term. Mr.. Kunzler has been
president of the union for about Is
months. At the National convention
OF the organization, in Atlantic City
early last July he was reelected presi-
dent. Before being elected to the
presidency OF the union Mr. Kunzler
was its secretary for six years. Mr..
Voitle the coming president, has been
vice president for 18 months. He
now resides in Pittsburg, but before
being elected vice president his home
was at Coraopolis. Like Mr.. Kunzler
Mr.. Voitle has worked himself up
from the ranks of the everyday glass
workers.

GOING VERY FAST
University Buildings are Humping
Themselves Right along.

Work Is well under way on the roof
for the new mechanical building at
the University. The Library build
ing is nearly rooted. Thing is going
on it very fast and in short time the
roof will have been completed. The
brick work on the Mechanical build
ing has been showed along very much
faster than most people expected to
see it go.
Nor has the Armory been neglected,
There is very large force of brick
layers on it and they have shot the
walls up in a hurry. They are still
hustling and it will not be many days
until it too is ready for the roof. Not
all of the brick work is yet done on
the Mechanical building but great
deal of it has been finished
1t won't be so very long until all of
the buildings are finished and ready
for use. The progress that has been
made on these building reflects great
credit on the contractors and the men
under them.

COAL LANDS TO BE OPENED
BY THE NEW EXTENSION
Kerbaugh Will Rapidly Push Work on
Railroad From Fayette City TO
Brownsville.

Work On the new extension of the
Pittsburg, MeKeesport & Bellevernon
railroad, from Fayette City to Browns
vile, distance of 81 miles, will be
pushed rapidly. Contractor Fl. S. Ker-
baugh, who was awarded the contract
for the work a few days ago, expects
to have 900 men engaged by Septem-
Der l. A small force is working at
present just above Fayette City says
the Dispatch.
The headquarters of the ntractor's
parry viii ne opposite Roscoe, where
laborers' shanties, an office building
and other structures are going up A
years time will be required to finish
the extension, which follows the Mon
ongahela river the entire distance.
Connections will be made with num-
Der of coal tipples and valuable
tract of coal land opened up.
The Pittsburg 81 Lake Erie railroad
has surveyed for line extending south
from Brownsville along the Mononga
Brownsville will be the present termi-
nal. An arrangement has been made
between the Pennsylvania and Pitts
burg & Lake Erie railroads whereby
the latter will enter Brownsville
through the Pennsylvania old tunnel,
built Is years ago for freight traffic.
The Lake Erie survey leaves the
Monongahela river at Albany, min
ing settlement mile north of
Brownsville, and turns east striking
the Redstone branch Of the Pennsyl-
vania.
Under this arrangement it is said
the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad
will receive its coke from the Klondike
region via the Pennsylvania lines, in
stead of building into the Klondike
itself. Plans have been drawn for a
passenger and freight station on Wa
ter street. Brownsville. A building
boom has sprung up in that town as
the result of the proposed extension.
A number OF mining villages are on
the proposed line, and it Is said a
move is on foot to establish coke
works opposite California.
Contractor Kerbaugh hopes To have
the extension finished by August ] of
next year. J. c. Duffy OF Philadelphia
is in direct charge Of the work at pres
emit. Stables and barracks for work
men will be finished in few days.

PLAYED WILDCAT.
John Hildebrand Claims to own
the Original caterwaul.
He Frightened Women into Mysteries.
and the Men Folks wore Their Hair
Pompad0ur Through Fright, with
Common Goose quill.

John Hildebrand who lives opposite
Little Falls near the river and who is
known far and wide as great practi-
cal joker claims to have been the sole
cause OF the wild cat scare which re-
Gently frightened his neighbors In the
whole countryside half to death.
John relates how that he began the
thing through desire to frighten his
two daughters both of whom were alb
sent from home rather late one even
ing. The peculiar hair raising sounds
uttered, and which made the listeners
quake in their shoes, was produced
so John says-with a goose quill. His
daughters were so frightened by the
sound when they first heard it--they
were walking along a lonesome road
way in perfect darkness at the time
that they ran until exhausted.
Hildebrand who claims to have fol-
lowed them, keeping along in the
fields or repeating the sound close TO
them, frightened them so badly that
they arrived home ia a half fainting
condition.
lne success OF bne scnetne suggested
its REPETITION for the benefit of his
neighbors, and the result was the or
ganization of bands of hunters bent
on the capture and death of the ami
NAL with the blood curdling cry.
Hildebrand ayers that he only desist-
ed because he came very nearly being
shot once or twice, and thought that
the joke might be carried bit too
far
