w iiiioho, W. iiohiobs ~ NASOS'"' -
On the fortieth ballot Brogan changed
from McCole to Williams, which, with
McCole and Timony voting as on the
previous ballot and the votes OF the four
Republican members, gave Mr.. Williams
seven votes to five for Mr. Hanlon.
A motion to elect Mr.. Williams for
three years at salary at 5000 per year
was made by Directors Kline and Isaacs.
The question OF the eligibility of Mr..
Williams to be elected for more than one
year was raised and brought about II
lengthy discussion. 1t was contended
that, inasmuch as the board had no Off
cial proof of the grade Of certificate held
by tho successful applicant, the directors
had no authority to proceed according
to the motion made. His election for
more than one year was also objected TO
on the ground that 1t is a question
whether or not he can satisfactorily and
acceptably meet the conditions that
exist here.
A certificate OF graduation from the
Keystone academy was presented on be-
half OF Mr.. Williams, but as this failed
to meet the requirements and did not
give the information which directors
must officially possess, the opposi-
ton to the move to ride rough shod over
the law was continued.
An amendment to elect for one year,
instead OF three years, was made to the
motion by Buckley and Kelly.
This amendment was amended by
Sholhamer and Kline to elect for two
years.
The latter amendment was lost, Bell,
Isaacs, Kline, McCole, Shelhamer and
Timony voting for 1t, and Brogan,
Buckley, Kelly, McGeehan, Purcell and
Slattery opposing it.
The one-year amendment and the
original motion were also lost, the MEM
bers dividing as before.
A motion to adjourn received the
votes of all tho members.

NEW PROJECTS.
Two Promine 1t Railroads Seeking to Ex-
tend Their lines In This State.


tend Their Zines In This State.
The following is from the Philadelphia
Ledger;
"a new railway is now in process of
Wilkesbarre. The statement has been
made, and the belief is generally held in
those cities, that the Pennsylvania Rail
road has an interest in this project.
The reason for such an interest would
be the fact that the new line would be
more than one-half shorter than the
route now traversed by Pennsylvania
trains between the two points mentioned.
"The Pennsylvania is seeking business
with more activity than heretofore in
the coal fields. Recently it puton four
tween Philadelphia and Wikesbarre.
But the distance by its present route is
| considerably greater than that of the
Reading and the Lshigh Valley. Its
fast trains make Hazleton in less time
than the fastest Lehigh Valley train;
but, after leaving Hazleton, the Penn
sylvania makes wide detour over the
Philadelphia and Erie tracks, by way OF
Rock Glen and Nescopeck junction, in
order to get to Wilkesbarre.
1.-The route surveyed for the new rail
way between Wilkesbarre and Hazleton
is twentyfour miles long, twenty-eight
miles shorter than the Pennsylvania
round about way. The cutting off OF
twenty-eight miles in the distance be-
tween Hazleton and Wilkesbarre will
enable the reduction of time between
these points by nearly an hour, and the
fore, make the latter city In about the
same time as the Lehigh Valley.
"There is another road building be-
tween Scra nton and Wikesbarre which
is supposed to be continuation of the
Pennsylvania route"
Tho Philadelphia Times has the fol-
lowing on the Gould project to enter
Philadelphia:
RAILROAD circles are agitated over a
report that the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad is at last to have
an entrance into Philadelphia. 1t was
said that agents OF the company have
been working quietly for several months
along the lines OF a previous survey,
and have succeeded in securing nearly
all the necessary rights Of way. In
addition, it is reported wharf on the
Delaware river has been secured.
The nearest point on the Lacka-
wanna lines to Philadelphia at present
is Phillipsburg, N. j., about seventy
five miles from this city. Several routes
from that point to Philadelphia have
been talked OF and surveyed. One of
them contemplates running down the
Delaware river from Phillipsburg on the
New Jersey side to Camden. Another
route has been mapped out crossing the
river at Phillipsburg to Easton, running
through Bucks and Montgomery coun-
ties to Philadelphia and connecting with
the Northeastern Pennsylvania Rail-
road -

Which Occurred at the Morning Service
at Plymouth Church Yesterday.
AT Plymouth church at yesterday
mornings service the congregation
was treated to number not down upon
the programme. While the pastor, Rev.
Dr. McLane, was preaching his Easter
sermon one of New Haven's prominent
citizens feeling rather warm arose and
Invested himself Of his overcoat. But
in the divesting process he went deep
err than he knew and Off with the over
coat came the undercoat. The promi-
nent citizen as the overcoat and other
coat came off stood there for a moment
In his shirt sleeves the target of all
eyes, while expressions of amusement
fitted over the faces of the beholders
whose attention was for a moment d.
verified from the sermon by the unusual
spectacle ct that church of a man
standing before the congregation In his
shirt sleeves. The gentleman did not
realize at once what had happened, but
he soon discovered and rehabilitated
himself.
