ll}l PUPILS
ENROLLED
The Schools of the Borough Open Auspic.
iously Tuesday

rhe first day of school, Tuesday
brought out a large Attendance of pupil.
which slightly surpassed the showing of
the first day last term. There were in
all 1892 pupils enrolled OF these lO3
are in the High school. The total at
tendance will rise considerably beyond
this number, as there was scarcely a
teacher Tuesday bur reported several
pupils of the school agcaS detained at
| home 10y one cause or another.
Every school in the borough has been
thoroughly renovated and presents a
fresh and attractive appearance. Many
repairs have been made-p probably the
most marked improvement being in the
senior secondary and the grammar
school rooms OF the First Ward, where
the old blackboards which were much
the worse for their long wear, have been
replaced by slate ones; the wall, and
ceiling calcimned and the desks. which
were much defaced, planed down and
vanished.
At the close of the session Tuesday
| afternoon in response to a call from Bor-
ough superintendent L. L. Gorly the
! corps of teachers assembled in the High
school building for discussion of mat
ters relating to school work. The pres
ent term finds more changes among the
teachers than have occurred in The bor-
ough for several years past. Among the
new faces were Fred Ream, who sue
ceedS Mr. Dietlenbacher In the second
Ward Grammar school; f. B. Barnett,
the newly-elected principal of the Third
Ward Grammar school, and Miss Mary
Williams, teacher of the second Grade
OF The Second Ward schools Mis-, Bes-
sic klase, Tuesday, was teaching as a
substitute in place of Miss Alice Bird.
At the meeting a general outline of
work was arranged for the present term.
Psychology was the subject selected for
pedagogical study and course of sup
Elementary reading was decided upon.
superintendent Gordy notified the
teachers that the system of education
Instituted 10y hi, predecessor, Superint.
cndent Houser, would he followed out
during the coming year
The school rooms are generally filled
as far as consistent with comfort. There
is nowhere any crowdiug except prop
ably in two grades Of the Second Ward.
To facilitate matters there something Of
departure has been made. The
grammar and the senior secondary
schools have been combined, the teach
ers doing departmental work Mr..
Ream teaches in the four gradess-his-
tory, geography, arithmetic, algebra and
civil government, while Miss BruucttS,
the senior secondary teacher, has the re-
naming branches language and gram
mar, reading, writing and physiology.

A Thousand PEOPLE Present.

DeWitt's Park where the Continental
Hose Company held its annual picnic
proved a popular objective point among
the several thousand pleasure seekers
attracted to our town Monday. Espec
iallv after the parade in the afternoon
and during the evening people were driv-
en- over to the Park by hundreds. 1t
was estimated that in all over thous-
and persons were on the grounds.
The rain interfered to some extent
with the out -of-door sports, but dancing
in the pavilion went on without any in
terruptiOn. The music was furnished
by Wyle's orchestra.
The crowd generally found amuse-
ment in the races, which were pulled of
during the afternoon. The winners
were as follows:
One hundred yards dash-First prize,
silver medal, J. c. Bingham, of Sha-
mokrn; second prize, a hat, John Me

September Term Of OOnrt

Court this month, which will convene
on Monday, the 23rd inst, is remarkable
as having on its list a greater volume of
criminal business than has been crowd
ed into one term for very many years
past. There are already twenty-three
criminal cases to dispose of, among
them the one of involuntary manslaught
er, in which George Sommers and Miles
Sassaman, whose horse ran away and
caused the death of Wellington Hart
man, are the defendants. This case
alone may occupy two or three days.
Obviously there will be little, if any,
time left for the trial of civil cases, sever
al of which are pending. Under the
circumstances a number of those inter
ested have decided to ask for an addi-
tional week of court in October to be de.
voted to civil cases

JUDGE BlEE WAS
THE DEFENDANT
At Hearing Befor, Justice Bare Yester-
day Morning,

\ hearing took place before justice OF
the peace J f. Bare Yesterday morning
in which associate Judge Frank BIec
was the defendant. The complainant
was George W. Deu>berger and the
charge was assault and battery.
The facts Of the case as brought out at
the hearing seem as follows:
On August 18th as Mr.. Den>herger ac-
cumpanied by Charles Richards was
driving from this city toward Mausdale
when near the mill at the latter rlace
he was over taken hv Mi. Bee whu was
driving a twO-horse carriage having on
board hr sides himself his niece, Miss
Jennie Butler and gentleman By the
name of George X. Flint, of Massathd'
sets. Both vehicles were driving along
in leisureIy gait, when Mr.. Densber-
ger suddenly stopped for few moments
conversation with l.. +. Johnson, who
Just then came along. At the same mo
ment the tongue of Mr.. Blee's convey
dilCt Sll uGh VII DtiiNbNi 4 u pii 'iiN 's'N'A'
This led to some words between the
two, Mr.. Blee insisting that Densber-
gers sudden stop was responsible for
the collision, he being unable to control
his horses.
Mr.. Blee then drove ahead and stop
ped at the griSt mill TO transact some
business. He had scarcely entered tie
mill when he was confronted with DenS-
berger who had driven up after him de
manding further explanation as to
why he had driven into his carriage.
The quarrel was here renew ed which re-
suited in personal encounter. 1t is
not clear who struck the first blow, if
any were passed, hut Mr. Blee sustained
couple broken ribs by falling over a
box lie was laid up 4 couple of weeks
as the result. Mr.. Densberger was not
injured by the tongue of Mr. Blee's wa
gon.
Some half a dozen witnesses were
heard at the hearing yesterday, incud-
ing DR.. }. z. Hofia, Miss Butler, Mr..
Flint Harry Winters, Charles Richards,
l.. L. Johnson and others.
