HAIIRISBUKG, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1890. YOIi. MX. NO. 215.

ESTABLISHED 1831 LAST EDITION. ONE SESSION A DAY. AN INNOVATION IN SCHOOL HOURS IN HARRISBIJRW. It Will be Tried This Tear In Miss Wood ward's Seminary, but It Ought to be tbe Rale In All School, Both Public and Private, Because It is a Good Thine for the Children. Something new is to be tried in Harrisbnrg this year.

That is, the idea is new to this city, althongh western cities became aware of its utility many years ago. It is tbe one session plan for schools, and it will be tried this year in Miss Woodward's seminary. The arguments in favor of tbe scheme are numerous. According to the time honored regime of our ancestors, school commenced at 9 A. it closed at 12 M.

for an hour and a half, or, perhaps for a two hours' intermission, the work of the afternoon beginning then at 1:30 or 2, and closing about 4:30. By the time that the pnpils returned home supper was on the table there was no leisure for a cozy chat with mother, nor for a fresh, healthy walk, nor for pleasant social calls on yonng school friends. There was no leisure for qniet, general reading of current literature. The entire day was given up to school. Sapper over, tho lessons for next day were hurriedly scanned and then the youngsters went to bed, tired mentally, nervous and overwrought, needing, above all things, out of door air and physical exercise which seemed impossible of attainment in the rush of school duties.

Many of the Western cities, less conservative than their older sisters, realized the dangerous features of the system long also and made a radical change. In short, they adopted the one session idea in all the higher grades of school. According to this, school begins at 8 :30 A. M. closes at 1 1 :30 for a half hour's intermission during which the pnpils dispose of a light lunch; after this at 12 they return to their studies until 1 :30 or 2.

Then they are free for the remainder of the day and have, at the same time, pnt in as many hours of school work as they would under the old system. The afternoon is their's. It can be devoted to healthy recreation of any kind that suits the individual fancy of the pupil, and the schools in which the one session system has been adopted, show a higher per centage of attendance, and a better health record, than do those schools which still persist in adhering to the ancient ideas. The hour and a half or two hours noon ing ii injurious and pernicious in many cases. The pupils who live at a great distance hurry a hot meal, bolt it hastily, regardless of all laws hygienic, and then rush back to school, very possibly reaching the building so late that a tardy mark is placed opposite their names.

There is no rest in such a proceeding. A hasty walk after a hearty meal is something which should always be avoided, and yet the pupils living at a distance must take such a walk every noon, or else carry a cold lunch to school, eat it in an illy ventilated school room or basement, then proceed to "kill" the remainder of the noon in fashions which are not alway to be highly commended. Thb long walks which many pupils are obliged to take through the extreme heat of a summer noon, or through the bitter cold of winter, or through the rain and mists of spring and fall, are bad enough, when one reflects how unnecessary they are. It is bad enough to have the girls or boys enter the school room in the afternoon so heated and weary that their brains refuse to grasp the most evident proposition which the teacher may propound. It is bad enough for them to be obliged to sit through a long afternoon in damp clothing.

All this is bad enough, certainly, and yet many parents knowing all these things insist upon their children appearing at home each noon, because they prefer to run the risks of cold and fever which the children may very possibly contract on sultry or stormy days, rather than run the greater risk of allowing the boys and girls to remain at school during the noon recess, when trashy novels form a prominent part in the killing of time process, and when too many of the girls wander the streets and become adepts in those silly flirtations that detract from their womanhood and render them less capable of appreciating what is good and pare. By all means let Harrisbnrg have one session. Miss Woodward has taken a step in the right direction. Let the public schools do likewise. Thb law our support should most earnestly get And all aid to have It enforced, That says that the boy and the dread cigarette Henceforth must be wholly divorced." PERSONAL.

The dissatisfaction which has existed among the players of the Athletic club for some time culminated this afternoon in three of the players instituting legal proceedings looking to the recovery of salaries for August which have not yet been paid them, according to their contracts. New Haven, Sept 8. The indignation of the release of Schoeneck runs high. Today a petition has been in circulation and was signed by about 200 lovers of the sport Each binds himself to attend no more games unless Schoeneck is reini. At the same time they bind themselves to pay $1 forfeit if they attend a game of ball while Schoeneck does not play with the New Haven team.

Schoeneck was released as a matter of business with the New Haven management, and will be reinstated. FIRK ON REILY STREET. A Three Story Brick House the Ylctlra of the Cireedy to lames. This morning a little after 9 o'clock smoke was seen issuing in dense clouds from the rear of the three story brick building, No. 320 Reily street occupied and owned by Mr.

M. K. Seif ert who also conducted a general produce business on the first floor front In the rear end was a stable, while above on the third floor was a hall nsed as a band room by the Jr. O. U.

A. M. Band. An alarm from box 31 was sounded, and the companies of that district called out They soon bad several streams playing on the burning portion of the building and the fire under control. Several members of the band, at great personal risk, rushed up to their room and secured all the instruments but one horn.

The fire originated in the partition divid ing the hay mow above the stable and the dwelling part of the house, and had evidently been striving for an outlet for some time, as several members of the band who were prac ticing in their room thought they smelt something burning and remarked to their fellow bandmen upon it. If the flames had burst oat last night there is no telling what the extent of the damage would have been, as the building stands in the center ot a thickly populated district of frame dwellings, all of which wonld here burned like tinder had they once caught fire. As it was, tbe damage by fire and water will be fully cov ered by insurance. Mr. and Mrs.

Seifert were at their stand in the Kelker Street market when the fire was discovered. IIARRtSON INV1NCIBE.ES. Selection of Relocates to Represent the 'Club In Philadelphia.

A LIVELY SESSION OF COUNCIL. am. STAMM SCORES TIIK CRTIC MAJORITY. DEMO Presldent Denehey Makes Spectacle of Himself In His Effort to Gag the Member from the Second Ward Walnut Street Paving Contract Approved. tiler Important Business.

When Common Council was called to order last night the reading of the minutes was dispensed with and the local statesmen got down to business. President Denehey had a far away deficiency look in his eyes as he nervously handled the gavel and thought of that little squabble with the City Controller. A communication was read from the City Solicitor Btating that the viewers for tbe opening of Market street had awarded W. H. Sible $8,000, with the privilege of removing the buildings, but an appeal bad been taken and Mr.

Sible was willing to compromise for $10,000. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee. Select Council having ref nsed to concur in amendments to the tax levy ordinance a committee of conference was appointed. The Select Council resolution exonerating the U. B.

church on Derry street from assessment for a sewer in 1 5th street was concurred in. The ordinance for the grading of Dock street was amended so as to read fire per cent. bond3, instead of four. The communication and statement of City Controller Verbeke, as printed in yesterday's Telegraph, was read at length, when it was referred to the Finance Committee. Several ordinances were read tha first time, among them one authorizing the construction of a sewer in Fifteenth street The ordinance authorizing the laying of water pipe in Marion street, from Broad to Calder, passed finally.

The ordinance author iaing the opening of Kelker street, from Third to Front, gave the talking members a chance to air their views on the matter of expense, the Council being of the opinion that the ordinance should not be passed unless tho city shall not be asked for damages. This ordinance and those for the opening of Harris Btreet and Front, from Harris to Maclay, were laid over. The ordinance vacating Hage street was defeated on second reading. An ordinance for the placing of Cameron street at grade between Hemlock and Hanna street passed finally, as did also the ordinance for the construction of a sewer in Thirteenth street, from Walnut to State. The report of the board of viewers and assessors for a sewer in State street was presented, when a remonstrance from Mary J.

Calder was read. The report was referred to the Highway Committee for investigation. A similar report for the construction of a sewer in Bartine avenue with a remonstrance from Jacob Bomberger on account cf excessive assessment, was referred to the viewers and assessors. The report on the Thirteenth street sewer was confirmed. Ordinances and resolutions were presented as follows: Instructing the Committee on Railroads to confer with the Pennsylvania railroad and Philadelphia and Reading railroad authorities regarding the construction of an overhood foot bridge at Market street; prohibiting manure pits or vaults under or upon the sidewalks, or in or upon other portions of the streets and avenues of the city.

Four Resolutions. Mr. Stamm, of the Second ward, offered the following four resolutions, which were adopted, but not until the able representative of East Harrisburg had stirred up the Democratic presiding officer and his partisans to the boiling pitch First Bo it resolved by Common Council that the City Controller and tbe City Treasurer be requested to furnish this body at its next meeting with detailed statements of the condition of the "Reservoir Fund," created by Common Council ordinance No. 563, approved September 24tb, 1883, and in relation to which the following was enacted by Common Council ordinance 629, approved May 16th, 1884: "That all assessments from property owners and all revenue and income from the wa ter on Eleventh street hereby authorized to be laid and from all intersections fed by it shall be paid into a separate fund and shall be returned to and reimburse the reservoir fund." Second Resolved by Common Conncil that the City Treasurer ba requested to furnish this body, at its next meeting, with a statement of the finances of the Water De partment for each month of the current year, and regularly hereafter, as required by sec tion 11 of Article A.L1 ol the municipal act approved May 23d, 1889, which reads as follows: "The treasurer of the city shall keep his accounts in such manner ss to show in his monthly report distinctly and separately the entire amount of revenue realized during each month from the water and lighting de partments of said city respectively; and the revenues derived from the said water and lighting departments shall be applied exclu sively to tne purposes or. saia departments respectively, and the surplus, If any, to the reduction thereof." Third Be it resolved by Common Coun cil that the City Treasurer be requested to furnish this body, at its next regular meeting, with a statement of the actual cash re ceipts of his office for each of the years end ine December 3lst 1886, 1887, teas ana 1889.

and for 1890 to September 1st, exclu sive of receipts from water pipe, sewer.grau ing and street paving assessments, sale ot water meters. Inch license and moneys be longing: to reservoir fund, and inclusive of any moneys transferred from the reservoir funti to the general fnnd. Fourth Be it resolved by Common Conn cil that the City Controller be requested to furnish this body at its next regular meeting with the following information, viz: (1). Total appropriations made by the ap propriation ordinance for each ot the years ending December 3lst, 1886, 1887, 1888 and 1889. (2).

Total appropriations made in each of of said years by ordinances other than the general appropriation ordinance, with the amount, purpose of each appropriation and the fund out of which it wa3 made. (3). Amounts for which warrants were countersigned in each of said years and for 1890 to September 1st, payable out ot ap propriations tor said years. (4). The Controller annual report tor the year ending December 31st, 1889, as re quired by the act ot 1874.

Mr. Stamm Takes tue Floor. When the bright young member from the Seiond ward arose to speak in support ot his resolutions it was evident that there was fun ahead. He said fca was tired of hearing Councils made the butt of all sorts of mdis criminate abuse, and tired of standing idly by and seeinc aire and innocence made the scapegoat of ignorance and conceit This remark fell upon the ears of Presi dent Denehey like a personal accusation and he excitedly ponnded the tr.ble with the gavel, at the same time demanding of Mr, Stamm that he withdraw the language he had used. "I decline to do so exclaimed the Sec ond ward member.

"You have no right to insult the members of this Council, yelled the nervous presid ine officer, who kept up a racket with his gavel all the while. "I disclaim any intention of insnltlag any body," was Mr. Stnmm rejoinder. Then ensued another wrangle in which several Democrats joined. President Denehey was about to refuse to allow Mr.

Stamm to proceed, when the latter exclaimed "Who is this autocrat who attempts to run city affairs!" At this the uproar increased aud Mr. Stamm was on the point of appealing from the chair when President Denehey came down from his high horse and allowed him to proceed. Continuing Mr. Stamm said he did not want to be understood as defending the Con Continued on Fourth Page, CUMBERLAND VALLEY. Elizabeth Mountz, aged 86, died in Me chanicsburg yesterday.

Hugh Lindsay, editor of tha Hunting don Jfevx. while visiting the Children Home, in Cbambersburc. with the Juniata Editorial Association, on Friday, took such a fancy to one of the little girls that he took her home with him. The citizens of Mt. Holly have employed David McDsrnott to make a recount of the number of inhabitants in that borough.

The census shows a falling off from 1,256 to 1, 191 and as they have more bouses occupied now and 73 more voters registered, they think the census is mistaken. David Smith, the oldest citizen of Car lisle, died Sunday night at the residence of his son, William Smith, on est Pomtret street. He suffered no pain and was conscious to the last, death being the result of his advanced years. He was aged 87, and served as sheriff, coroner and justice of the peace. Miss lilt ST HOME, The Popular School Teacher Had a Pleas ant European Trip.

Miss Elizabeth D. Grant, tbe popular school, teacher and one of the Press prize winners in whom so majy of the readers of the Telegraph were interested, returned from her European tonr early Sunday morning. She was expected to arrive in Snnbury on tne evening tram, and a crowd ot her friends with a band of music were ready to' meet her, but on account of an unavoidable detention she missed the train at Philadel phia aud everybody was disappointed. Miss Grant is delighted with her trip and has been greatly benefited. She is sincerely thankful, and more than ever appreciates the kindness of the management of the Press and the many, many friend all over this and other States through whose untiring efforts she was permitted to eDjoy so great a privilege.

Through her modest and qniet manner she won many friends on board the steamers, who contributed socially to the pleasure of the voyage. While on the continent she exercised the tact and shrewdness peculiar to her sex and trav eld without a mishap. Omitting the details of tbe itinerary, which was as extensive as the time would allow and full ot the usual incidents, we mention the following places through which she journeyed and visited all points cf special interest: Antwerp, Brussels, Hague, Schereningen, Rotterdam, Cologne, Mayence, Frankfort, Heidelberg, Baden Baden and Strassburg; rode through the Black Forest to Reinfalls; visited Lucerne and Geneva; ascended the Rige, and finally took in the sights of the great cities of Paris and London. Miss Grant will spend a week with friends in the country to obtain needed rest, alter which she will resume her work as a teacher in the schoals of her native town. FATAH.

CROSSING ACCIDENT. Another Death on the Railroad at Market Street. The sad death of Peter Carroll at the Mar ket street railroad crossing, last night, will doubtless risten the conference between the Bridge Committee of Councils and the au thorities of the P. R. R.

and tbe P. R. railroad regarding the building of an over bead foot bridge at this dangerous place. Carroll was a crossing watchman in the em ploy of the P. R.

company for fourteen years, having previously been a r. K. flagman. He had kept tbe crowd back while the 5:50 train was steaming out of the sta tion, and then, stepping upon the other track, was struck by a shifting engine which was backing toward him. Both legs were crushed, his face was bruised and he suffered internal injuries.

He was at once removed to the city hospital, where he died two hours later. He was conscious and received the sacrament ad ministered by Rev. Father Hollern, of St Patrick's pro cathedral, where tbe dead man was a regular attendant. He leaves a wife and several step children. Mr.

Carroll lived at 731 East State street, and was 46 years of age. He was a member of the Hibernia Society and of the P. R. Relief Corps. CAUGHT THIS TIME.

George Carney, a Colored Lad, Arrested for Kooning street (Jar isoxes. While attending to their horses at the foot of Market street drivers in the employ of the City Passenger railway company have been obliged to keep a sharp eye on their money boxes, as for some time past sneak thieves have chosen this opportune time for robbing them. Last evening Curtis Chronister, driver of car No. 9, laid a trap for tiie rascals, and, removing all the change from the box, took a position near by, where he could see without being seen. lie had not long to wait, for in a minute or so George Caroey, a small colored lad, made a bee line for that box, but this time to his sorrow, as he was caught rnd taken to the Mayor's office where he "squealed on several other boys who have been in the habit ot robbing the cars.

This is not Carney hrst appearance in the dock at police headquarters, as he was arrested not very long ago for beating a little girl over the head with a stick. He is a son of James Carney, who died bo suddenly last summer. Carney is no in jail awaiting a hearing. WALNUT STREET PAVING. Contractor McCleaster Will Begin the Work on Monday.

Charles F. McCleaster, the contractor for the paving of Walnut Btreet from Front to Filbert, received notice from the Highway Commissioner to day to begin the work. A Telegram man saw Mr. McCleaster this morning and he said he would commence the jcb with a large force of men on Monday morning, and he believes the pavement can be completed according to specifications in a month. There is talk of an injunction among those property owners who are opposed to a concrete base, but unless it is granted before Monday the street will be torn up, as Mr.

McCleaster expects to begin at Front and Walnut and push things in his characteristic fashion. A Break for Liberty. After the pin which held it to the car had pulled out in Market square this afternoon, the street car horse attached thereto concluded to take a run on its own account and made a break for Dr. Gorgas drug store just across tho way. It fell on the pavement however, before it could get inside the establishment, and was captured and again started on its daily round of toil.

He Officiates Frequently. Rev. A. S. Bowman, pastor of St Paul's Methodist church, ha3 frequent calls to officiate at weddings.

On the ult, he joined in marriage Mr. J. W. Ross and Miss Sallie Haserman, of New Cumberland, and on the 8th inst, Mr. John II.

Special Correspondence ot the Telegraph.

Newport, Sept. 9. Since visiting jou last your correspondent has been away from town, but there has nothing of note transpired. The Newport and Sherman's Valley railroad is being graded as rapidly as men can grade it The heaviest work is less than a mile from Newport, and it will require con siderable blasting of rock to grade the roadbed. Workmen are scattered along the route for seme six miles.

This is no sham, but a genuine move. Next week the fifth annual fair of the Perry County Agricultural Society will be held. It promises to be larger than any heretofore held. Grand balloon ascensions will occur on Wednesday end Friday. The river toad in Howe township is now open for travel.

This shortens the distance between Newport and Millerstown nearly one mile, and it escapes quite a number of steep hills. Marshall furnace is again in operation, after having been banked up for ninety days. The fire kept first class all that period. It is reported that one of our society young ladies will be married in a few days to a gentleman from abroad. Jerry Jones, a most colored citizen and a good Republican, died at his home last Wednesday.

POLITICAL POINTERS. Col. Ephraim Myers, of Littlestown, has been nominated for the Senate by the Republicans of Adams and York. It is evident that George Shiras 3d is beaten for Congress by Colonel Stone in Pittsburg. He is now crying "Fraud and everybody knows what that eans.

The Prohibitionist of Huntingdon want to know how the Republican indidate for associate judge stands on the license ques tion, and. he refuses, very propsrly, to answer anonymous communications. The Northumberland couniy Republicans held an enthusiastic convention yesterday and nominated w. C. Farnsworth for Congress, and David Kamp and J.

M. Fommer for the Legislature. Hok. William Hertz ler, of Juniata, has been nominated for the Legislature by the Republicans. Mr.

Hertzler was one of the ablest legislators in the House of 1889, and his renotuination shows the good judgment of the people of Juniata. Such men as Mr. Hertzler are needed in the House. Senator Delamater completely captured the Republicans of Centre county yesterday, when he visited Belief onto as tbe guest of General Hastings. Leading Republicans from all over the county attended the reception at General Hastings' residence and assured Mr.

Delamater of their earnest support Afterwards the party visited State College and were warmly welcomed by President Atherton.

Farmer Hindi Loses S2.600 and Receives Impertinent Advice. Hanover, Sept 8. John Kindig, a wealthy old farmer of Union township, Adams county, was swindled several days ago out of $2,600 by three card monte man, but only to day told how it was done.

9. Considerable talk and excitement was occasioned by the rumor that a little child had been killed on Sunday evening by its father, who resides in Bent's row in the rear of Swatara street The feeling was increased last evening from the fact that Martin Schnpitar, the father of the child, was arrested and locked up. Upon what ho thought was well founded reasons J. W. Fleisher, constable of the Second ward, notified Coroner Shindler, who came down this morning and, upon hearing the rnmors, empanneled a ury.

The ury proceeded to the house when Dr. J. H. Miller made an external examination of the corpse. The mother testified that little Katie, who was sixteen months old, was lying in the cradle Sunday evening and that the father walked up and patted the child on the cheek to pacify it but did not strike it, the chili dying about two hours afterward.

The doctor testified that he had been treating the child for dysentery and upon completing his examination testified that there was nothing to show that the child had died from violence, but that death was caused by inflammation of the bowels superindnced by dysentery, and the jury a verdict in accordance with these facts. While there is no doubt that the child died from natural causes, the ceighbors complain in strong language of the manner in which Schnpitar treats his wife. By her own testimony before the coroner's jury it was shewn that hs had knocked her down a few minutes before the child's death, and last evening the Second ward constable was compelled to lock him up for drunkenness and disorderly condnct. orty members or Crusade Cnstle.No. 73.
