FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Probable That Swimming Pool, Lake
and Aquatic Gardens Will Be
Built by Private Contributions.

1t is extremely probably that funds
not only for the construction of "a
swimming pool at Nay Aug Park but for
the construction of an acquati" garden
and of a lake as well, will be secured
within few weeks from private par
ties by the city administration.
1t was said yesterday that work on
these Improvements at the park may
be begun within sixty days. Director
of Public Works Roche has been maxi
ing Investigations of similar work in
other cities during the past few weeks
and has had preliminary plans pre-
pared
Estimates of the cost of the improve
ments in question have been secured
from local contractors and it is more
than likely that an announcement of
the donors will be made within the next
week OF two.

SCHOOL CLOSED DOWN.
No. 7 Forced to Shut UP Because Of
Lack of Coal.

No. school, in the Twentieth ward.
was shut down for Il part of the day
yesterday. because of an inability to
heat the building, owing to the lack OF
coal. If the weather should become
chilly this week. and there is no rea son
to believe that it will not not only No.
{, but several other schools would have
to be closed
The special committee appointed by
the school board to consider the coal
question has not met as yet, but n
meeting will probably be arranged for
this week. No answer has been re-
ceved from President Nichols in re-
gard to the proposed conference be-
tween the executive board of the mine
workers and the committee, and it is
believed that all negotiations along that
line are off.
1t is extremely probable that those
controllers favoring the purchase of
coal from one of the big coal COM
panies, if possible. will make an effort
at Monday nights meeting to secure
the adoption of their plan. One argu-
ment in favor of the feasibility of this
scheme which is advanced. is the ready
response which President Baer. of the
Reading Railway company, made TO an
appeal for coal for the public schools
of Washington, d. c., made TO him last
week.

PREPARING CONTRACT
FOR The Big SEWER
Ruch 6 Miller Say They Will Begin
Work at Once and Complete It
Within a Year.

City Solicitor Watson was busily en-
gagged yesterday in drawing up.the con-
tract for the big Nineteenth district
sewer, and it will be ready for the sig
nature of Ruch & Miller, the contrac-
tors, sometime this morning.
The contractors for the sewer seem to
he particularly anxious to begin work
as soon as possible and expect to be
able to start on the job next Monday
morning. They will put between 800
and 400 men at work, and have already
ordered the shipment to this city OF a
quantity of improved machinery.
The contract allows fourteen months
for the completion of the work, but the
contractors say it will take them no
longer than twelve months to finish the
job All the drilling will be done by
steam drilling machines and new de-
vice, known as "a trench digger FOR
excavating soft earth will be used.
Work will be commenced at four diff
ferent points, necessitating the employ
ment of four inspectors instead of two,
the number fixed by the ordinance.
These inspectors will be men chosen
from the engineering corps, Of the
bureau of engineering, and will be
better qualified to act as inspectors
than most men who could be chosen. A
saving will also be effected by their
employment, as they are kept on the
pay roll all winer, when there is no out
side work for them to do.
Payment for the work will be made
by bonds bearing six per cent interest
and payable when a sufficient amount
is collected from the property owners.
These bonds will be issued on estimates
furnished by the chief engineer of the
bureau Of engineering.

kOFCZENSKI WAS
QUICKLY CONVICTED
Charged with Extorting Money from
People by Impersonating the
County Detective.

1t took jury just thirty minutes yes
terday to find Frank Kofczenski guilty
OF extortion and impersonating the
county detective. AS soon as the ver-
Judkovitz, surrendered Kofczenski to
the sheriff and last night was spent in
the county jail by the convicted man.
Kofczenski is young Pole of pleas
ing appearance and address, who for
several years has done good deal of
work as a special officer. He was one
of the specials employed by the Scran
ton Railway company during the
strike last winter, and was serving
the warrant in Morans hotel, on Lu-
zerne street, which resulted in the
shooting that caused the death OF
Daniel McAuliffe, and the indictment
of kofczenski, Frank Kinsley and Syl-
vester Cosgrove for murder. All OF
them were subsequently acquitted.
The evidence presented yesterday
| against Kofczenski before Judge Ed
wards was to the effect that with Ed
ward Sharak who is under indictment
for his share in the transactions, he
visited several "speakea sies' in Old
Forge in March last and Kofczenski
represented that he was the county de-
tective, and unless he received sum
of money he would place the owners
| under arrest. Several witnesses swore
they paid sums aggregating $50 to
KofcZenski.
| A complete denial was made by the
defendant, who said that at no time did
he represent himself as a county de-
tective. He did say that he was Il de-
| tective. The jury promptly found YER
dict of guilty.

What Judge Vosburg Said.

Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In reporting the meeting of the
Sons of Cambria Republican club, an er-
ror-unintcntional, of course-was made,
With respect Ia what was said by Judge
A. A. Nosburg on that occasion. Judge
Nosburg said that it was unnecessary to
add the words Republican club" to the
name of the association, the Sons of
Cambria" We're always Republicans; and
that the reason why the Welshmen weIe
Republicans was because they studied the
conditions of the country, and had the
intelligence to come to Il proper conclu-
sion He did not state that there were no
men of brains in any other political party,
and made no disparaging comparisons
between any natioualities, in any way
whatever. This correction 1t seems
proper To make, In view of the unfair and
unwarranted criticism of the Democratic
party organ in this county.
Respectfully yours
j. Henry Jones, President.
Sons of Cambria Republican club.
Editor of The Tribune
Sir: My connection with the Circula-
ton of the Reform Labor Leader" is
explained as follows:
My New York correspondent wired me
TO prepare for the distribution of IS, 500
papers among the miners of this valley.
| Immediately made arrangements for the
force necessary without knowing what
the papers contained. As soon as the
contents were made known my men re-
fused TO have anything TO do with them,
and wired New York as follows: Can
not handle newspapers, what disposition
shall we make
l am In the distributing business, but
not that kind as any one who knows me
is fully aware. Yours truly,
J, G, Reese.
