SCHOOLS FINISH course OF Year.
The Central. Eastern and Western High
Schools closed the active work of the year
today. There were no exercises to mark
the closing event, and without any public
demonstration the happy pupils entered
upon their vaca ton period of three months,
until about the 10Th of September The
graduates, of course. will not return to
their former halls of instruction as students
when the roll is called in September, but
many of them, doubtless, will come back
to the scenes Of their recent school sue
cesses visitors. while still others will
enter at higher institutions of learning to
continue their search after knowledge
The examinations, which have caused
more or less perpleXity, have all been held
and many of the students are on the "anx-
ious BENCH apprehensive of the conse-
quenceS. Others. with the confidence that
springs from conscientious study and ap-
plcation, have no fears as to the result
and feel assured that the markings on their
papers will be those of credit. The antici-
pations. though they may be of the gloomy
aspect, however, will cast no shadow over
the joy Of the boys and girls who have
just been granted their annual period of
liberty from the routine of school duties,
and this is the time of great rejoicing. They
can now participate in the summers rec
reations without the afterthought Of having
to return to their books tomorrow" and
the sports of the season will not lack for
supporters.
The commencement exercises of the three
high schools will take place at Convention
Hall on the evening of June IS. when those
who have successfully finished the course
Of instruction will be given the piece of
parchment evidence of so much work
well done. The commencement exercises of
the Business High School will occur the
e-eHins o. the 10th instant. The work of
that school will close Monday.

Signed by Palma.

c. F. w. Nicely who. March "a. was SEN
fenced to ten years imprisonment and to

Cuban postal frauds, was released yester-

FAVORS PERMISSION.
City Solicitors Opinion Regarding Re-
quest of Propertv Owner

The District Commissioners have received
from the city solicitor an opinion on the
application Of Mr. Joseph R. Fague, favor
able to the remission of interest on the
general tax for the year 1885 against SUBJ
lot 46. square Al. bounded by K and l.,
9th and 7th streets southwest Solicitor Du-
vail holds that the failure to advertise the
lot for sale in the tax list for The year 1885
operates TO relieve the tax from the costs
which otherwise would haze accrued
The lot, it seemed. was not listed In the
tax list Of that year and it was not then
sold for the tax then in default.
The act of Congress approved March 8,
1877, according to Me. Duvall, provided for
the addition to the unpaid tax of certain
penalties on the first day Of each month,
and the tax and penalties together were
declared to constitute the delinquent tax.
Continuing. Mr.. Duvall says:
1.-The law required the collector of taxes
to advertise and sell the property for the
delinquent tax, and if the same was not
redeemed from sale within two years by
the payment Of the tax, penalties and costs
and 10 per centum thereon. &c, a tax deed
was to issue.
I'm the case under consideration the prop
erty was not advertised for sale, and I am
of the opinion that the failure to sell the
property at the annual tax sale operated
to relieve it from the costs that would
otherwise have accrued from the SALE

MAY EMBARRAss THE NAVY.
Shortage Threatened by the Virginia
Coal Strike

The United States navy may be seriously
embarrassed by the continuance Of the coal
strike. Rear Admiral Bradford, chief OF
the bureau of equipment, has received
notice from Lambert's Point, Va, where
thousands of tons of PocahOntas coal are
delivered to the government, that difficulty
may be experienced in obtaining a con-
tinued supply. He has advised against
sending ships to Hampton Roads for coal
for the present in view Of the trouble at the
Virginia mines.
AT many of the navy yards there is fdir
quantity of coal on hand, but not sutfic- ent
to supply the navy many weeks at the pres
ent rate of consumption. The navy has
usually had coal delivered at home yards a.
it is required. and for that reason it does
not have large quantities constantly on
hand. Few of the navy yards have the
space necessary for coal sheds or the equip
ment for promptly handling coal.
There Is no apprehension of coal famine
on the Pacific, where the navy now has
over 10000 tons under shelter. OF this sup
ply 10000 tons are in the Philippines and
the remainder at Honolulu and Pago-Fago,
Tutuila A large supply is also hand at
Mare Island. Several thousand tons are on
the seas bound for the Pacific coaling sta
lions. IS Fs2NE

Bullets Break Glass and Perforate En-.
CINE and Tender-Efforts to
Restore Peace.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 12.-It was
learned at the Office of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company today that an attempt was
made last night on the life of Superintend-
ent Thomas Thomas OF the William A. col
iiery of the Lehigh Valley Company, at Old
Forge, north, of this city.
For the last four days crowds have been
gathereing each morning and evening on a
hill which overlooks the colliery and throw
ing stones at the men at work within the
Enclosure. The day and night superintend-
ents do not live in the colliery, as do many
of the other employees, and they are taken
to and from the place on a locomotive.
Last night the night superintendent
reached the coliery safely. A few minutes
later Superintendent Thomas came out
and. when about 300 yards from the
breaker. he says, number of men, who
were in ambush. opened fire on the loco
motive Fortunately the engine was trav
cling rapidly and it was soon out of range
Of fire.
Ten Shots Were Fired.
The officials say about ten shots were
fired. The miners union is doing every
thing possible to have it's idle men at that
point keep the peace. Old Forge is in
Lackawanna county, just across the Lu-
eral deputies stationed at that point.
There were six persons on the locomotive
the engineer, fireman, conductor two
brakeHen and Superintendent Thomas. AS
soon as the firing began the six men i'm
mediatey dropped to the floor of the loco
motive and its tender, and in that way
saved themselves. The window panes of the
cab were broken and the locomotive and
tender were perforated with bullets and
buckshot.
To Keep Men Orderly.
District President T. d. Nichols, who,
with District Presidents Duffy and Fahey.
were in conference with President Mitchell
last night, left To-Day for Duryea, which is
close to the scene of the shooting. 1t IS
believed he will attempt to get the strikers
there to organize a police system to keep
the borough quiet.
President Mitchell had nothing to say
today either on the anthracite or soft coal
strike in West Virginia.
1t will be four weeks tomorrow since the
three anthracite districts requested the call
of a special national convention to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of involving all the soft
coal miners in the United States in the an
thracite strike. Mr.. Mitchell was asked to-
day by the Associated Press correspondent
whether he had the consent of five dis
trictS necessary to call a national conven-
ton He said he could not talk about the
matter.
