Claiming the right to answer in meeting -the statement published re- vently in the newspapers over the signatures of ten of his associates in the board of city school controllers, Hurry H. Lineaweaver. of the Fourth ward, made roply on Friday evening tin 1 board's February session in the lilph Kchool building. There was man- Tested on the part of the directors a disposition to close the incident for the sake of harmony and good and with that purpose in view Mr. Lineaweaver ws's given a respectful hearing.

BRANDS IT A LIE. Me said: Mr. our meet- Ing of January 2nd, there appeared in the papers an attack upon me, largely personal, and it is not my imrposf to answer this, except so 1'ar ns it does not adhere to the truth. SSouie person or persons of "the ten" "vvho signed this statement -say in relation to the Franklin building, at Tenth and Walnut streets, that I said "It was good enough for tbe children in tluit neighborhood." This is a lie, as no such'ivmark has ever been made "by me before nny members of this board, or anyone else. Tu proof of what I say, 1 refer you to the regular mooting of this board April 4th, when it was resolved that the Franklin building be remodeled, and after asking Mr.

Adams whether it was ueces- w.ry for the proper accommodation of liie children 1 voted for it AGAINST THE PLANS. What 1 did not vote for was the adoption of the plans, which were brought up at a special meeting April and my reasons for not voting for the adoption of the. plans were that there was absolutely no estimate or the cost of remodeling tbe building. I think the wisdom of my voting in this way has been shown from the amount of money expended in the re- inodoling of tins building. Class distinction, thoroforo.

So far as my charges of gross mismanagement and extravagance are concerned, the statement made by "the ton" to the public only answers them in a general way, and if analyzed the public knows no more than they did before. 1 think, in a measure, -I am to be congratulated on bringing any PRIVATE SALE.

Agent for T. Hoffman. 1-31-10t report, no niatter how poor, before the public, as it is probably the first time the public has received so much recognition from this board. The attempt of "the ten" who signed this statement to make this matter a political one is thoroughly understood by the public. It is hardly necessary for me to say that it would be foolhardy for me to attempt to make this a political issue, when only three nut of fourteen members of this board are Democrats.

DROPS INTO SARCASM. Referring to the statement as to "the gentleman's rancor and his ignorance are so apparent, etc." I have only beea a member of the school board for about one year, and still have three years to serve and by association with "the ten" may possibly hope to become as wise as they are. I must confess that it has been a hard proposition, and still is; for me to fully grasp the system in practice by this board. BUMPS THE COMMITTEE. In reference to the payment of bills without bringing them before this hoard, the statement signed by "the ten" says that bills of this -sort have been examined and approved by two committees of three members each and by the president and secretary of Sontinued on Fourth Page.

Noi. one tender for poor Bill Shuey.

whom they brutally murdered, stirred the callous conscience of Harry Freitag and Frank McGill, as they were led away this morning to suffer the comparatively insignificant penalty prescribed by nn outraged Justice. Laughing and chatting, thej- approach- od the dark prison cells which they will inhabit for.a dozen years, without an indication.of remorse ol' thought of retribution. To the prisoners it seemed a hug-3 joke. They made no effort to hide their jubilation at their punish- inent for a dastardly crime, and entered the Avails of the Eastern Penitentiary prepared to while away the time pleasantly as a vacation. In view of their narrow escape from a fate which both know only too well they deserved they were callous beyond words.

The prisoners were in charge of Deputy Sheriff Robert Coppenhaver, assisted by ex-Warden John Reed and Samuel Bomberger. The hitter's son and a member of the "News'" staff accompanied the party. The prisoners were safely lodged within the walls of the Eastern Penitentiary shortly after 12 o'clock and began a sentence that will n-lieve the public of their presence for a few years, at least. FREITAG'S CALLOUSNESS. Freitag's departure from the jail was characteristic of his personality and was one of the strongest features of the entire affair.

Try as he may he cannot hide the joy he experiences, of escaping a ropei He was up early this morning and danced about the corridor in high glee, displaying the eager anticipation of a child to be off to a picnic. "I'm going for a car ride," he shouted several times and repeatedly asked the turnkey to let him out of his corridor to say good-by to the prisoners in the other corridors. When, finally, the time arrived he hurriedly went the rounds shaking hands with other prisoners through the bars. He laughed merrily going to ihe station and wanted deputies to buy him a drink. Seemingly, not a thought of the foul murder crossed his mind.

When asked about it he either returned answer or evaded the question. It was suggested that a term-of 12 years, after all, isn't so long, when he replied: "Well, it's a tough dose for an not in the injured-toue of a man innocent of crime, but- with a sort of elated chuckle. he would say nothing of the crime. He talked of the "pen" and seemed well acquainted with every detail of its inside. He laughed uproariously at his jocose remarks about working with the "boogies," and he said he will "buy a monkey and hand organ and collect with boisterous laughter.

His brutal nature was never for a moment subdued. He displayed the interest of a child in the swiftly passing landscape viewed from the car window and chatted freely about anything but the murder. A COUNTERFEIT KINDNESS. Even for the woman who helped him out of his difficulty, there was nothing but a harsh acknowledgment of friendship. Kate Minnich, who swore that she is the wife of the murderer, met him at the station after a long wait.

She.was at the depot for the 7.04 train and then waited for the flyer and was rewarded by a kiss and a sort of "jol- '-y." When Freitag encountered her in the rear of the station he threw his free arm around her neck and talked for a time in her ear, then unfeelingly kissed her and was-gone. "Never mind what people say, ycu know what I told you," was his parting remark, and he pranced off with his hapy laugh while the girl went the other way with sorrow-stricken mien. Only once more did Freitag think of her and that after he was in the train. He glanced out of the wiudpw at the curious and searched the crowd for a sight of his wife, but she could not be seen and he seemed to care but little for MURDERERS ARE FRIENDLY. Freitag and McGill have buried the hatchet.

With their interests in the way of a pardon somewhat effecting the matter, neither is anxious to appear a devoted ally to the other. But they are friends as friendly as such creatures can be. While going to Philadelphia in the train, the German bought a oranges and promptly gave one to McGill, saying: "Here, chew that up; you won't be getteu' any of them things on the hill, unless you can make 'em out of paper." While McGill thrust his into his pocket, Freitag bit savagely into his fruit and ate it with manifest relish. The proffer brought up some comment among and questions were soon following, eliciting the information that the murderers have been friends since their interview in the Court House, after trial, as described in the "News" several days ago. After they were remanded to jail to await transportation eastward, they were confined in separate corridors, but conversed by calling through the bars of the doors of the corridors, though neither could see the other.

Through the at the place. Mi-Gill passed tobacco and cigarette paper to Freitag. and when Freitag's alleged wife on Thursday sent him several pies, ho at once had one sent to McGill in his cell. Anything they received they shared; acting very much like school chums. LOOKING FOR A PARDON.

To the great comfort and satisfaction of all buyers, hens have again resumed their old duties and there was an abundance of nice, fresh eggs on hand, which is believed to be due to the moderate weather prevailing the past two weeks, relieving the market and reducing the price. There were stacks of these necessities on all the stalls and they went at a dozen, nearly a reduction of four cents a dozen over last week. however, feel that the approach of Eastertide and the Lenten which is only a short way off, will tend to keep the price high.
