New Pipes.

carload of six-inch gas pipes was
received at the gas works today and will
be used on King street in replacing the
mains before the new vitrified brick
pavement is put down. The work thus
far done on the gas pipes has shown
them to be in very bad condition, rid
died with rust, and in some cases rusted
away entirely. The waste of gas must
be excessive from this state of affairs, as
every excavation has shown the soil to
be blackened by the coal gas, and its
presence is made known by its unmis-
taxable odor as soon as the pipes are
nnearthed

Suspect Foul Play.

The finding Of the body of William
w. Trankler, the Washington shoe mer-
chant, in the Potomac river, at an early
hour yesterday morning, has not been
cleared up by the police. In fact, the
officers have about come to the conclu-
sion that there is no mystery and that
the death is due to an accident, and the
coroner has issued certificate to that
effect. Despite the action of the coroner
and the police authorities, the friends of
Mr.. Trankler are not satisfied with the
verdict, and are earnest in their Geclara-
ton that there has been foul play. They
base their theory on the fact that when
last seen Mr.. Trankler had large roll
of money on his person and when the
body was found there was but IS in bills
found in his clothing. A watch and
other jewelry were found but none of
it was of great value and alleasily identi-
fed.
Acting Coroner Glazebrook made an
investigation in the case to-day and
concluded that death was the result of
an accident.

M.M. & Y@c ~ s& .4p.-tsns&A &Aza commended are chiefly in the case of
 young and ambitious teachers who are
 now receiving low salaries. Owing to lack of funds the school committee recommended that the high | est salary paid to supervisors and to 1 district supervising principals be $2,300.
 By the adoption of this recommenda- | ton the salary of one supervisor, Ben- | jamin Jepson, and that of one supervis- 1 ing principal, John G. Lewis, was re- I duced $200 in each case.
 1 It is assumed that the new Cedar street school building will be ready for occupancy at the opening of the fall term, September 8. On account of the size and the central location of this
 building this school will be made the central school of the Welch district The entire sixteen rooms of the building will be made.
 The Kindergarten department of this school will not be opened until next year.
 The superintendent has transferred the present principal of the Cedar street school to the principalship of the Welch school It is the purpose to devote the Welch building to lower grade work as far as circumstances will permit this to be done.
 The changes in the salaries of two teachers is explained as follows: The avenue school has been increased $50 owing to the recent enlargement of that school in opening three rooms in dwelling house in the vicinity of the school, Next year an additional room will be opened. These changes consid- erably increase the work of the prin- cirel of the school and justify, in the opinion of the school committee the in crease recommended The salary of the principal of the Welch school for the coming year has been reduced s90 in accordance with the rule of the board that principals of schools of less than twelve rooms shall be paid the salary of their grade plus BIO fo reach room in the school A change from ten rooms to seven is the occasion of the change in salary.
 The following resignations were &C., cepted:
