W-tKitchel —Was Discussed in Full and all Favor the Idea—Walter Martin' for Janitor of No. 6.—Many Applicants for the Job. The Board of Education last night took up the matter of securing the old Westminster Home for a school house. The matter was brought up by Com missioner Kitohel and was discussed j#lcngth. It is well known that No. yl is crowded^ beyond all reason and there seems to be no relief in this section of the city because No. 6 is too far away. The Westminster has historic value and it was argued that to convert it into a public school would be a wav of keeping it forever for the public. Dr. Kitohel and Com missioners Poulsen, Massopust and Woglom were appointed a committee to interview the owners of the build ing and ascertain upon what terms it can be secured. All the commissioners were thought favorable of securing the building.

Other Machines are to be Plaoed In New Brunswick, Woodbrldge and South Am boy-Ready for Delivery Ahead of Time—Commission to Watoh Experiment Carefully. Voters of the Fifth ward are to have the privilege of testing one of the new voting machines purchased by the State and which will be used at the November eleotlon for the first time. Instead of the regular ballots as heretofore the voter will press a key for each candidate for which he desires to cast a ballot. With the exception of Camden, Passaic, Cape May and Morris coun ties, Secretary of State Dickinson has prepared a schedule showing where the eighty-one voting machines pur chased by the State are to be placed. Middlesex county gets four to be dis tributod as follows: First district, Third Ward, New Brunswick; Second district, Woodbridge; Third district A Ward 1 Amboy. Instead of there being a delay in the distribution of the machines, as wat feared, they are ready ahead of timo. The date fixed by the commissioners for their delivery was September 15th. They have not been shipped before this because the commissioners have been waiting for tho list of the poll ing places at whioh they will be used, which was to be prepared by the Secretary of State. Yestorday one carload of the ma chines was snipped to Jersey City and one to Camden, from which points they will be distributed to tho polling places designated by the Secretary of State. Edward L. Phillips, one of the com mission, says that the commissioners would prepare a form of instruction for the election officers of those dis tricts in which the machines will be used, and when the machines are set up they will supervise their installa tion. The commissioners will also w’atch closely the operation of the machines and prepare a report upon their practicability for submission to tiie Governor. The commissioners have purchased sixty-six machines from the United States Standard Voting Machine Com pany and fifteon of the Columbial type. The first named are said to be an improvement over the sample ma chines submitted. LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT. A large audience saw’ the minstrels in Wilder Music Hall last night.

Pennsylvania Delegation is Making Trouble for all Hands and the Outcome Is Doubt* ful—Visitors Much Interested in the Storm Today and Crowd the Boardwalk in the Rain. Atlantic City, Sept. 16—The Indians who are attending the national con vention here, became quite civilized last night. A big smoker was held at the Giand Atlantic Hotel where all the braves smoked the peace pipe. At the same time the squaws assembled in the parlors and played euchre. To day the delegates are enjoying the sight of a storm on the big pond. They crowd the board walk to watch the tremendous waves as they roll in upon the beach. * Business of more than usual import ance marked the session held yester day. It appoars that the groat council of Pennsylvania had rofused to pay an amount equal to five cents per capita on its membership. One year ago the great council passed a law establish ing an orphans’ guardian fund, and levying a per capita tax of five cents per member oaoh year to sustain the fund. Pennsylvania placed itself on record at the time as being against a general fund contributed by the entire order. When the time came to pay the tax the State refused to comply with the law. The matter of seating the representatives from that State was plaoed before the great council by a ruling made by the great in cohonee, that as the State had not paid its tax the credentials would not be received by the credentials com mittee. Past Great Incohonee ihomas K. Donnelly, of Pennsylvania, entered an objection to the ruling, claiming his State had paid all tne.tax legally levied, and assertin', that the law causing each State tr pay an addition al five cents per capita for the orphans’ fund was not legally adopted at the Norfolk session held last year. The entire matter'was then referred to a special committee of five. raised as to the tent from Penn not representa -w tives, and the great iccohonee ruled that, as the groat counoil of that State was not in good standing, no one from that body was entitled to remain, and the entire delegation left the hall in a body. The impression prevails that if the special committee decidoB against the State, which is likely to be the result, the delegation will quickly Btep np to the desk and pay over the amount of the arrearage. Others say the fight will be continued, and some think the tribes in that State will withdraw from the order. A rosolntionfrecommending that the great conncil take into consideration the formation of an insurance branch was referred to a committee for a report.
