325 Central Freshies;
Dibble Makes Changes
in the Latin Course

Professor Howard G. Dibble, new
principal of Central High School, has
announced that the high school will
open at $3.50 o'clock tomorrow, when
all upper classmen, including Sopho-
mores, Juniors and Seniors, will be ex-
pected to report. Exercises in the
chapel will be followed by the assign
ments OF seats, books and supplies.
Freshmen will report at 1:15 in the
afternoon to their respective grammar
schools after which they will go to
the high school building, where they
will be divided into sections and given
their seats. About 325 new students
are expected to enter Central this year
These together with about 700 upper
class men will make the total num-
Der in the school about 1000.
No radical changes have been made
at Central and the usual routine will
be followed for the first few weeks
at least There will be a decided ad-
vantage in the domestic science course
this year as the department will be
open from the start of school. Last
year there was a slight handicap in
this respect as arrangements were not
completed for work until weeks after
school had opened.
slight change has been made in
the Latin Scientific course of study
this year as Virgil will be studied in
the Senior year instead of in the
Junior year as heretofore and Cicero
will be offered in the Junior instead
OF the Senior wear.

Petitioners to Withdraw
Opposition in Penbrook

Every day makes the demand for
paving of Main street in Penbrook
stronger. 1t is said that those who
petitioned the council to have their
names withdrawn will ask the coun-
Gil tomorrow evening to permit their
names to remain on record favoring
the paving. 1t seems that there was
some misunderstanding as to the
actual intention of the council, as the
three who had signed the counter
petition were not present during the
early part of the evening when the
details and amendments to the ordi-
nance were under consideration be-
fore being laid over for second read
ing Tuesday evening. The councilmen
and burgess state that every con-
sideration possible will be given be-
fore advancing the ordinance to sec
ond reading. as they want everyone in
favor of improving the street thor
oughly satisfied that the best inter-
ests of the borough are being taken
care of, to avoid any unnecessary re-
consideration before the ordinance is
adopted.

Great Prominence Given
Latest Attack in France

Paris, Sept. 6, 1885 a. m.-Great
prominence is given by the morning
papers to the torpedoing of the Hes
perian but all declare themselves at
a loss to find a theory to account for
such a proceeding by a German sub
marine six days after Ambassador Won
Bernstorff's solemn assurances to the
United States that no more liners
would be torpedoed unless they tried
to ram the under water craft or at
temped to escape, neither of which
the Hesperian appears to have done.
1T remains to be SEEN" says the
Petit Parisien, how American opinion
will take the event. In all likelihood
the torpedoing of the Hesperian will
bring back the state of tension which
Ambassador Bernstorff fiattered him
self had been dispelled. for Americans
will realize that illusory promises of
the imperial ambassador furnish not
the slightest additional guarantee to
those of them who are called upon to
cross the Atlantic"

The youngest Freshman will ma
circulate at Technical High School to-
morrow
He is Hugh d. Wells, aged II.
When the school authorities in pre-
pairing the records of the 1,40O odd
grammar school pupils who will so
TO high school, noticed the age of
youthful Mr.. Wells they took another
startled careful glance to be certain
and then looked up the records of the
ages of high school Freshmen. And
they discovered that Wells will be the
youngest ever to enter either Central
or Technical High School.
Wells has been a student at the spe-
cial school for advanced pupils taught
by Miss A. May Title in the Reilly
school, and has elected to take the
college preparatory course" at the
city's trades school. And four years
hence he will be graduated at the age
of tifteen-the youngest graduate of
Technical High. Wells lives at S010
North Third street. Riverside.
Harrisburgs school boys and girls
are practically ready to begin the
winter term tomorrow. So are the
school authorities, although the clerks
at the school board offices were busy
placing last supplies, and at the
buildings, tanitors and engineers were
testing out furnaces and things pre-
paratory to receiving the big group
of children.
In the neighborhood OF a thousand
youngsters will enter Central and
about 45O will go to Technical High.
These new Freshmen will meet at the
respective grammar school rooms IN
the morning and go to the high
schools in the afternoon. The changes
in the grammar schools will be ac-
cordingly during the day.
One new face will be greeted in the
Central High faculty. This will be
NJ. o. Billow, of Waynesboro. who will
replace Miss Katherine Zeiders. She
has been granted a years leave of alb
sence to take a special course at

DRONES MUST GET
OUT OF DEPARTMENT
Highway Commissioner Cunning
ham Makes Speech About Policy
of His Branch of Work

Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Sept. s. - State
Highway Commissioner Robert ].
Cunningham was the chief speaker at
an outing of the Jr. o. U. A. NJ. at
Harvey's Lake to-day. He reviewed
highway conditions in Pennsylvania
and told what was being done by his
Department to improve the roads. Mr..
Cunningham was enthusiastically re-
ceived and was applauded when he
dwelt on the necessity of abolishing
the toll roads.
In opening his remarks, Commits
sioner Cunningham reviewed the his
tory of the Junior Order United AM
erican Mechanics and praised them
for what they had done. He then
passed on to the road question and
gave a resume of the history of the
Highway Department and of the
struggle for good roads in this State.
He explained that the limited funds at
the disposal of his administration
made 1t impossible to construct new
highways and that all the efforts OF
the department would be centered in
the next two years in the task of
maintenance.
The commissioner took occasion to
repeat his previous promises that the
department would be administered on
business basis and that all drones
would be turned out. He called at
tention to the fact that many changes
for the betterment of the service had
been made since he assumed office and
said that further dismissals would
take place if the men in the employ
of the State failed to come up to the
required standards.
He concluded with an appeal foI
the passage of the amendment to the
Constitution of the State to permit
bonding for adequate highway con-
struction and with a sweeping con-
demnation of the antiquated toll road
system.

suspicion. They were Italian laborers
and according to the police, one OF
them carried loaded revolver.
The body was found by Knowles
housekeeper, Mrs. Waddell, who had
run from the house when she heard
the shots fired. AS she reached the
lawn she says she heard a mans voice.
