MR. BOLAND'S LETTER.
Accompanying the report was this
letter:
E. D. Follows, Secretary Board of Con
trol, Scranton School District, Scranton,
Pa.
Dear sir: In connection with annual
report for school year ending Juno 30,
1S97, submitted herewith, I have to In
form you that from July 1st, to July 12th,
1897 inclusive, this office has paid war
rants issued by tho board previous to
July 1st, 1S97, In said Bchool year ns fol
lows: General school warrants $13,79S 72
Building warrants 182 CO
$10,931 22
Respectfully,
(Signed) C. G. Boland.
Treasurer Scranton school district.
The balance of $02,718.76 includes the
interest and sinking fund account of
$28,397.59, which can be used for only
the purpose Indicated and which leaves
a balance of but $31,321.17 available for
general purposes. Out of the latter
sum must bo deducted the $1C,9S1.22
mentioned in the city treasurer's letter
ns having been paid out since July 1
for school warrants issued prior to that
date. Secretary Fellows, who is in
camp with the Thirteenth regiment nt
Mount Gretna, left behind him a letter
addressed, to President Jennings, stat
ing that warrants amounting to$18,28S.
10 had been authorized by the board,
but had not been Issued from the sec
retary's oftlce. In addition to these
sums, bills duo before July 1 and
amounting to about $1,800 were ap
proved by the board last night.
Adding the $10,981.22, $1S,28S.10 and
$1,800 mentioned In the foregoing,
shows $37,009.32 ns an indebtedness for
which there Is but $31,321.17 available
and which leaves a deficit of $2,718.15
in the school treasury.
REPORT REFERRED.
The report and the board's financial
condition were referred to'the finance
committee with Instructions to report
at the next meeting.
There was also referred to the com
mittee a number of bills for large
amounts, some of which were to be paid
out of the 1896-97 appropriations and
some of which were, by agreement, not
to bo paid until after July 1. These
latter Included bills of E. S. "Williams,
Architect Davis, the Hunt & Connell
company and John Benore & Sons for
considerable sums for contract and es
timates on new Nos. 23, 15 and 26 school
buildings.
When Mr, Langan read a list of bills
approved by tho high and training
school committees, Mr. Williams called
the board's attention to the expense
incurred for decorations for tho High
school graduation exercises and urged
that this Item bo done away with In
future.
The high and training school com
mittees asked for Instructions regard
ing the expense which would bo in
volved in establishing the commercial
course at the High school. Mr. Langan
reported that quite a large sum might
have to be expended for the cabinet
work and furniture necessary to tho
course. After some discussion it was
decided, on motion of Mr. Gibbons, to
postpone until later in the year any
definite recommendations to the com
mittee. President Jennings remarked during
a discussion of further improvements
to the grounds of Nos. 10 and 23
schools that he would refuse to sign
nny warrants, no matter how small
the sum Involved, if there were no
available funds to meet them.

team will pull tho chemical engine.
HOTEL KEEPER SERIOUSLY ACCUSED.
Tho Othor Sido of the Story, How
ever, Has Not lleon Heard.
Hoteikeeper John Mofhtt, of Brick
avenue, was arrested by Constable
Coles, last night, on a warrant sworn
out before Alderman Howe by Charjei
Sherman, In which the charge is assault
and bnttory antl robbery,
Sherman, who Is a collector for tho
Providence Gas and Water company,
had a dispute with Moflltt over the
amount of his water rent Saturday
night. Moflltt, 1t Is alleged, threw tho
collector out on his head nnd then re
lieved him of $47.
Moflltt waived a hearing nnd entered
bnll for his appearance at tho next
term of criminal rourt, when his side
of the Btory will bo heard.
KILLED A HIRED HORSE.
William H'nrrcn Hold to Answer for
Cruelty to Animals.
On May II, William Warner, a line
man for tho Scranton Electric Light
and Hent company, hired a horse from
Cuslck's livery for tho purpose, as he
said, of making a tour of inspection on
the hill. Tho nnlmal was taken oat nt
noon and at midnight was picked up
by the police in a dilapidated condition.
From the neglect nnd abuse the horse
underwent, It died the next day.
Warner, it appears, became intoxi
cated after taking the horse out and
after driving around from saloon to
saloon wont to his homo on the South
Side. Ills younger brother, upon learn
ing that he had not attended to his
work, hunted up Joseph McDonald, an
other lineman, who was found attend
ing a ball nt Turner hall, and had him
make the neglected. Inspection.
McDonald nnd the younger Warner
did not know that the- horse had been
abused and being In a hurry they drove
him nt a good pace over the route they
had to follow and when the police, who
had been notified from the livery to
look out for the horse, found him in a
lather of sweat and limping badly, they
arrested the pair and locked them up.
They were allowed to go later upon
making their explanations.
The elder Warner, upon sobering up
and learning of the arrests, got out of
the way and It was not until yesterday
that the authorities could locate him.
He, In company with McDonald and
young Warner, were arrested at the In
stance of the livery keeper and taken
before Alderman Howe for a hearing.
Tho two latter wore again exculpated,
but Warner was required to furnish
$300 ball to answer at court for cruelty
to nnlmals.
He tried to make out that the horse
balked and reared coming down Mul
berry street hill and was Injured by
reason of its own vlclousness. Wit
nesses were called in rebuttal to show
that the animal was quiet and tame
and never known to balk.
HAAQ WAS RIGHT THERE.
Set Upon by Two Men, Who Iloro
Him mi Ancient Grudge.
Ex-Police Officer Harry Hang was
set upon by two men on Lackawanna
avenue last evening, whose evident in
tention was to get even with him for
eorao grudge they bore him since tho
time he was on the force. They were
thwarted in their Intention however
and one of them will probably not go
to work today.
Hnag thinks he recognizes them as
two Bellevue men whom he arrested
one night for raising a disturbance
on lower Lackawanna avenue. Ho
does not Intend to have them arrested,
feeling that he gave them all thq
punishment they deserve.
HE RECEIVED A QUEER " DOLLAR.
But He Got a Good Ono for It from
.Mr. ltoscuberg.
Yesterday morning Nicholas Sossong
appeared before Alderman Howe with'
an unmistakable counterfeit silver dol
lar, which he alleged he received Sat
urday from Rosenberg Bros., of Penn
avenue.
Ono of the firm was sent for and
when he learned the accusation ho
gave Sossong a good dollar, nnd tak
ing the bad one destroyed it with a
pen knife. He said he did not know
whether or not the dollar was given out
at his store, but sooner than have any
bother he gave up a dollar.
"TURN-OUT" AT THE LANOCLIFFE.
Driver Boys Tic Up tho 3Iino for u
Bay.
There was a "turn-out" on the part
of the driver boys at the Langcllffe
Coal company's colliery in Avoca yes
terday. Some of them thought they
should receive extra pay for the hour
or so they are compelled to work after
"all over" blows and Induced the others
to follow them In a strike for the ad
ditional allowance.
The matter was adjusted during the
afternoon and the works were resumed
this morning.

THIRTEENTH
INSPECTED
Concluded from Pago l.J
tho same process. There are a few
trees, Just a few, to tantalize tho suf
ferers. But on the whole Gretna Is
Just the thing for a camp location,
combining ns it docs tho discomforts
of real war with the pleasures of a
summer vacation.
When tho Thirteenth reached tho
place a thick fog was shrouding tho
field. Line was formed on the long
station plntform and the march through
part of the park to the tented temporal
homes was begun.
Colonel Coursen was at the head of
the column. The Fourth, Twelfth nnd
Eighth had arrived before and when
the Thirteenth entered the big field the
smoke from n hundred tents told of
preparation for breakfast.
The march of tho Thirteenth was for
over a half mile through a rolling field.
On the top of a big hill and between
the Fourth nnd Ninth regiments our
"first loglroent in the state" was lo
cated. Colonel Dougherty, of the Ninth regi
ment, and his men arrived ten minutes
after the Thirteenth's train.
CAMP NOTKS.
Tho Young Men's Christian association
havo a tent on tho Held.
Tho boys of Company H nre among tho
most orderly In camp. They uro model
In this respect.
Company F boys havo set certain nights
for the forage of certain necessaries. It
was blanket night last night.
Arlington Adams, tho colored cook of
tho G boys. Is a great favorite. He sings
plantation songs, and Is good company
generally,
Seldcn II. Mungcr, at ono time West
Sldo correspondent for tho Times, Is
with Company G, of Montrose, as com
pany clerk.
Tho "hangers on" this year aro not
very numerous, but they nro noticeable
and of the kind that make a living at
shooting crap, etc.
Mayor F. W. Stlllwell, who was re
cently elected to the position nt mess Sat
urday evening, passed nround tho cigars
to every member of the Second batta
lion. Prlvato Murphy, of Company E, was
struck on the head by a stono thrown
In play by a comrade. Dr. Kellar sewed
tho wound. Murphy was not Incapacitat
ed from duty.
Conductor George Sweeney, who was In
charge of the troop team, was conductor
on tho train which carried The Tribune's
prize winners through Pennsylvania on
their Chicago trip In 1S93.
Eleven-year-old Abraham Steinberg Is
with us. Messages were received at camp
today from tho boy's parents at Scran
ton, inquiring about him. One message
was received by Chief of Police Rob
ling, captain of Company C.
The Thirteenth had decidedly the best
of It on dress parado with their forage
caps, as compared to the unseemly grey
campaign hats of tho other regiments.
When it conies to comfort the new hats
can give all sort3 of odds to tho thick
ribbed caps.
Hospital Steward "Joe" Baumelster Is
In charge of the best working depart
ment In tho regiment. Fourteen cases
of sickness or "grunters," as the poor
fellows nro called, wcro given various
doses at the hospital tent Saturday, Only
one was of a serious nature.
After tho mesmerist gave his remark
able exhibition last night "Happy" Jack
Macrcth tried to do It Just as good with
n. Company F fakir as a subject. Tho
fakir faked. Jack had him clinch his
hands. The fellow did so, nnd for twen
ty minutes held them In tho position. Af
ter a long time Jack, who was looking
fearfully at tho fake subject yelled:
"Run and get that buck to got him
looso!" Ho believes yet that he had hyp
notized tho fellow.
At 12.30 o'clock Monday morning the
clatter of tho corporals' guard in F
street was heard. Investigation revealed
tho fact that a gang of F's boys had
pulled out a tent pole, allowing the can
vass and top beams to fall on the sleep
ers within. Tho guard pulled from
under the pile of canvass ono private
who has been sick since camp started.
The-young fellow was too weak to move
from his position under tho tent, and ho
suffered tho chance of a gun hitting him.
Tho patrol took him to another tent,
where ho spent the rest of the night.
Captain It. J. McCausland and his
Montrose boys, G company, aro tho main
stay of tho regiment. They nro order
ly, earnest and well drilled. Captain
McCausland Is deserving of tho confidence
of his men, nnd he certainly has It.
Personally, ho Is courteous and friendly,
a commanding officer, yet a brother to
the ranks. Saturday General Gobln took
occasion to remark upon tho complete
number In tho company line. They had
five sets of fours, which Is unusual, nnd
the General referred to It ns unusual In
the faco of a general decline in the mem
bership of other companies.
A hypnotist In tho person of 18-year-old
William Leopold, of Allentown, struck
camp Sunday night, and gave a remark
able demonstration of his power by tho
light of Company G's gasoline Jet at
the cook house. The audlenco numbered
over thirty boys In blue, and some who
had very llttlo blue on them. Young Leo
pold Is a fierce-eyed youtn with black
hair, and a strong faco. Ho tried his
skill first on tho "falling" test. Several
tried this. Afterward Art Meredith was
stung by bees and had tho pin on a
sharp-shooter's medal run through his
wrist. Charllo Flnberg made the best
subject of all. He spoke on McKlnloy,
bhot crap, sold salve, danced tho body

lasses run down his faco and other
pleasant experiences. Tho hypnotist eamo

OKELL STILL IN THE RACE.
lias No Thought of Giving Up tho
Tight for Shcrlir.
George Okell was In anything but an
amiable framo of mind yesterday. One
of tho Sunday papers printed the an
nouncement that Mr. Okell had with
drawn from tho race for tho Republi
can nomination for sheriff and that
piece of alleged news was echoed In the
Republican yesterday morning. In con
sequence Mr. Okell's friends bore down
upon him in droves to ascertain the
causes that led htm to withdraw from
the fight.
She severest blow of all to Mr. Okell
was the announcement In the morning
paper that he had to withdraw because
Henry 'Wehrum, general manager of
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany, by whom Mr. Okell .Is employed,
had insisted on his retiring from the
race,
Mr. Okell said yesterday In tho most
emphatic way possible that he was In
the light for the nomination for sheriff
to stay until the convention Is held,
He was equally emphatic in asserting
that Mr. Wehrum had In no way at
tempted to Interfere with his candl-,
dacy.
Mr. Wehrum also denied that ho had
asked Mr. Okell to get out of the field.
THE SUMMIT OF PIKE'S PEAK.
Contains I tie Announcement of John

Attorney Jolirt J. Murphy, who is
now in San Francisco spending a few
weeks, was on tho summit of Pike's

crnlgs. It is one of the portraits ac
companying tho announcement that
Mr. Jones is a candidate for a re
election to tho ortlce of district attor
ney. Mr. Murphy Btudled Inw under the
direction of Mr. Jones. It Is the first
time on record that tho candidacy of a
Lackawanna county man has been pro
claimed from such a lofty height.
