The bond of Treasurer M. II. Schram
was read and on motion of Mr. Pursel
was accepted.
Mr.. Fischer raised the question
whether the school board could legal
ly act upon the application of teach
er, if it was not accompanied by an ap-
proved certificate or a normal school
diploma. 1t was explained that cases
occur in which this seems almost un-
avoidable, such as where teachers have
completed "a course at a normal school
and have not yet received the certiti-
cate to which they are entitled on
graduation. 1t was the sense of the
school board, however, that applica-
tions in such cases could not be acted
upon favorably.
On motion of it Mr. Pursel it was
ordered that proposals for coal be ad-
vertised for to be in by next meeting,
or the 25th inst One hundred and
fifty tons of each kind of coal used
will ha nrhorea.

HUNDREDS WENT
TO BLOOMSBURY

The big time in Bloomsbury incl
dental to the -Four county firemen's
convention was reflected inIDanvilIe,
yesterday, causing bigger Stir among
our people than has occurred for some
time. 1t is estimated that at least one
thousand Danville people. went to
Bloomsbury by trolley during the day.
Mill street in the vicinity of Lower
Mulberry street was occupied by
crowds during nearly the whole fore
noon waiting the arrival of the cars
They came early, hoping to be among
the lucky ones that would secure
seat, while many were left over each
time the cars pulled out and were
obliged to hang around the spot until
the next car arrived.
The stir on Mill street began early,
when the Washington fire company
with some 80 uniformed men in line
and led by their drum corps marched
down to the trolley terminus and took
the 500 car. From that time on for
a" hour or more there was plenty Of
music in the air.
About s 40 o'clock the Friendship
fire company with 81 uniformed men
in line and led by the Mechanicsville
band marched down Mill street. About
. O'Clock they were joined at the troll
ley terminus by the Goodwill boys
with some 20 men in line nicely uni
formed, and led by the P. o. s of A.
drum corps.
A special open car TO return to DAN
vile at 10 80 o'clock last night had
been chartered by the Friendship boys
and they all had good seats with
plenty of room. The Goodwill boys,
who expected to take the regular 8 10
car following Immediately after the
special, were not so fortunate, as they
were entirely crowded off the car by
men, women and children, who did
not wait for the car to stop, but be-
gan to jump on soon after it turned
the Mill street corner, Before the fire
men could get OH board, the car was
practically full and before it left for
Bloomsbury the car was packed, every
inch of room in the aisle and ON the
platforms being occupied The firemen
who were crowded out were consoled
with the assurance that another car
was lying on the siding at Paules
woods and that this would be sent
down to Danville Immediately to take
care of the overflow.
With this exception the cars ran on
schedule, but instead of one car on
nearly all the trips there were two
vile people had been carried TO
Bloomsbury.

Peter Dietrich Not Released.

Pursuant to adjournment, Saturday.
court convened at 10 O'Clock Tuesday
morning with his Honor Judge Evans
and associates +. CT. Blee and Charles
A. Wagner on the bench. Only few
of the attorneys showed up and there
was no argument.
William KaSe West moved that Peter
Dietrich. tried for murder at the last
term of court, in whose case ,he jury
disagreed be discharged under bail.
Judge Evans could not see his way
clear to grant an order to the above
effect and set forth his reason at some
length.
In the first place the attorney for
the Commonwealth and the District at
torney had not been notified which the
court thought should have been done
before such an important matter should
be considered. An objection, too,
might he urged on IA broader ground.
While it is true the jury disagreed,
lldu IL COlit W an az '''N'N
no assurance that the verdict would
not have been first degree murder. In
that event the court, unless some grave
error could have been shown, would IN
all probability not have disturbed the
verdict. Altogether the case was such
that. especially in the'absence OF any
precedent cited, court did not feel
like discharging the defendant under
bail
Peter Dietrich will not receive his
second trial until September and, if as
now seems probable, he can not be re-
leased he will have a long and weari-
! some confinement during the summer.

A Mysterious Document.

New stories touching on what recent de-
velopment In Thaw's enmity for White may
have led to the shooting are told daily.
One current today referred in a vague way
to a civil action brought against Thaw by
Evelyn Nesbit before he married her. This
suit. II Is said. was settled by Thaw, but
not until after he had signed a statement
which was very disagreeabie to him. 1t is
aaid that White knew the contents OF this
statement, and It 10 even declared that he
