The Hughestown school board, at a meeting held lant evening, decided to increase the bonded indebtedness of the district 12,"ftn, in order to make improvements to the schools. For the purpose of raising this sum the school board will sell ten coupon bonds, each of the denomination of $200 and bearing; interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum. The bonds will mature in ten years, June 1, 1915, and will be redeemable at the Miners' Savings bank. The board instructed Attorney William H.

An attempt was made early this morning to bretik Into the house of Samuel Carr, No. 8 Rock street, Hughestown. The effort might have been successful had yot the burglar aroused the family in his endeavor to force a key from a lock of owe of the doors.' Mr. Carr was not at home last night, being engaged as night fireman at the electric light works. His sister, Mrs. liartlett, and her three children, were the only ones in the house when the attempt was made. The family Was awakened about 3:30 by a noise, as if some person was prowling about on the outside of the house. They paid little attention to it, as a small dog in the house had not barked. The burglar seemed to center his efforts on the door in an endeavor to force the key from the lock. While working ho struck the door quite sharply, arousing the dog. The members of the family then hurried to a window and were just in time to see one man hurrying away. Mrs. Bartlett's son fired a shot from a revolver at hlln. The neighbors were aroused and a search of the premises was made, but the man had left no traces. The door showed signs that he had spent some time trying to break in. It was marked in many places by large pieces of candle grease. The key of thp door was scratched, as if some instrument had been used frojn tin: outside in an effort to turn It. Washington.

New York, May 13.—After more than eleven months of imprisonment Nan Patterson has been set free, and at 12:10 o'clock this morning she started for Washington to find solace In the arms of her mother. She was accompanied by her father, her sister, Mrs. Julia Smith, aud her brother-in-law, ,T. Morgan Smith, who also had been freed on motion of the district attorney. Smith, however, had been fined $250 for contempt of court In not having answered a grand jury subpoena, though the conspiracy charge on which he and his wife had been brought to this city was dropped. Chicago, May 13.—J. T. Marchnnd.. attorney of tiie interstate commerce commission, threw a bomb into the camp of the Armour car lines, and when it exploded many of the innermost secrets of the compnny were exposed. By the testimony of II. Streyckmans, former secretary to W. G. Seeley of the Armour car lines, it was shown that the company pays rebates to shippers, the amount varying with the strength of their "pull," and juggles with icing bills furnished .them by the railroads so that it is made to appear that they pay more for ice than they really do: that certain railroads, said to he the Northwestern, the St. Paul and the Erie, pay the Armour people a bonus of $10 a car for routing the fruit shipments over their roads and that despite the denial of high railway oiiicials a pool exists between the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific with respect to the California fruit traffic.

He was first discovered climbing over the Iron fence surrounding the White House. By the time Hopkins reached him the fellow was beating on the rear door of the executive mansion and frantically tugging at It, crying:Secretary Taft remained with the president nearly two hours and laid before him the entire case. Upon leaving the White House he would make no statement except to say that Mr. ltoosevelt would take personal charge of the inquiry and the secretary would give whatever assistance was possible.

The weather had been threatening for a couple of days, but the rain hung off until about 8:30 last evening. Heavy black clouds in the western sky for several hours before the rain began to fall lndiciited the coming of a storm, but nobody was prepared for the downpour that followed. The rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning, but the lightning was not severe and caused no damage. A high wind prevailed, however, during the greatest height of the storm, and some damage was done by It to small trees. The rain came dowft in sheets for about half an hour. The amount of water that fell in a short space of time was remarkable. In various parts of the community much annoyance and some damage was done by the flood of water. Many streets were badly washed, especially those on sidehllls, and great quantities of soil were washed to the low Kround. At the foot of every street leading into Main street, this morning, was a heap of debris that had beer, washed down from the hills. The city olllclals had men at work early carting the mud and debris away. Main street was a veritable pond during the storm. In many parts of the city, sewers and gutters became blocked and the overflowing water went into cellars and yards, causing great annoyance. Utica, N.

Mr. Bowon's dispatches to tlio state deportment In which tlie charges which he said were current in Caracas arc contained were laid before the president last night in the shape of a brief. Mr. Looinls' denial, when it is finally submitted in writing, will be considered in the same manner. Both officials will then be given an opportunity to state their cases in person. Governor Pennypacker has announced his decisions in regard to charity appropriations made by the Legislature that recently adjourned. A great deal of pruning was necessary, on account of the fact that the appropriations were many hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess of the income of the state during the coming two years. Pittston hospital was very fortunate in haVing its bill for the full amount, $20,000, signed by the governor. The appropriation is divided as follows: For maintenance for two years, $18,500; for improvements and repairs, $500; for an X-ray machine and laboratory, $1,000. As the results show, the trustees of the Pittston hospital were wise In deciding not to fiialce application for a THE JUBILEE SERVICES FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Says Newspapers Were Responsible.

Strength was lent to the testimony of the former sectary by the production of a copy of the Armour car lines' secret cipher code by means of which all instructions regarding cutting rates, arranging for rebates and carrying on practices which would tend to strengthen their monopoly where they had one and to create a monopoly where there were competitors were transmitted to their agents throughout the country.

Mr. Jerome insisted the newspapers were responsible for the fact that the last Jury stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction of manslaughter in the first degree.

Following is a list of appropriations to charities and the amounts vetoed: The members and friends of the Welsh Congregational church are looking forward with pleasant anticipation to the jubilee services, which will be held tomorrow and Monday. When the present church edifice was erected, some four years ago, the congregation found it necessary to mortgage the property for The money was borrowed, free of interest, from the Congregational Home Mission society, on conditior that it be repaid within ten years. ,,~So successful bus been the church In collecting subscriptions that the entire debt has been wiped out in four years, and the mortgage lias recently been paid.

These include allegations concerning a $10,000 check said to have been made out by the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company when Mr. Loomis was minister at Caracas, that Mr. Loomis bought a claim and then pressed It against Venezuela, that he guaranteed nonintervention by the United States to the Venezuelan receiver of the asphalt company's property and that he did other things which an American diplomat had no right to do. By these letters and statements It was shown that the Armour charges for icing are even more excessive than the commission had supposed. For example, the Northwestern railroad furnished ice to the Armour car line, delivering it in the bunkers for $1.50 a ton. thereby giving the Armour people a profit of between 400 and 500 per cent. The Smiths, wanted as witnesses, were indicted for conspiracy.

Then the district attorney decided not to try the couple on the conspiracy charge. The net result of all his efforts was the line of $250 imposed on J. Morgan Smllh for failure to answer a subpoena.23,800 50,000 10,000 The St. Paul does the same, but both companies render bills to the Armour people for $»J.,"D0 a ton, and the Armour people in turn send the railroad companies a claim for a rebate of $1 a ton, making tin* true net price $1.50. The witness stated that similar arrangements existed between the Armour people and the Erie and the Texas and Pacific. At Korth Worth the latter railroad furnishes ice to the Armour cars and bills it at $3.ID0, rebating the car lines $1 a tou. The presumption was that similar arrangements existed between Armour and railroads us- Render Bills to Armours. A peculiar condition of affairs was created at the new Y. M. C. A. building. For some reason not yet definitely determined, the sewer pipe became clogged and the water backed up Into the building through the pipes leading to the closets on the first, second and thlril floors. The pipes carrying water from the roof empty into the sewer pipe and this swelled the flood. Water ran upon the threo floors of the building In the vicinity of the hallways and soaked through th""" plastering. The floor in the bath rooms on the llrst floor were also covered with water. Fortunately the flood occurred while the building was opened, and the precaution had been taken in erecting the building to have water traps placed in the floors of the' bathrooms. Between a broom brigade and the traps, the flood was taken care of without delay. The plastering was soaked by the flood but Is drying out and It Is probable that no serious damage will result to tho building. Union Pacific U. S. Steel . U. S.

They were going toward the Laurel Line station, and just as they reached the first alley beyond Main street the foreigner appeared. He appeared to be in a rage and was muttering curses beneath his breath, lii his hand lie held a large revolver which he was holding ready Cor action. It appeared t(\ the constable and his companion as if the man was looking for revenge or that he was waiting for some enemy to come along. As soon as the foreigner saw the two men he put the revolver in his pocket and walked up to the fruit stand a short distance away, where he purchased some fruit. After waiting near the station for about 20 minutes he walked along the Erie tracks to Pine street and disappeared. President Itoosevplt took pprsonal chargp of all the various questions now up for administrative action. As no witnesses were offered in defense of the Armour car lines Chairman Clements announced at the conclusion of Streyckmans' testimony that the commission could remain In session no longer because of business which would occupy its attention in Washington.

The Hughestown school board, at a meeting held lant evening, decided to increase the bonded indebtedness of the district 12,"ftn, in order to make improvements to the schools. For the purpose of raising this sum the school board will sell ten coupon bonds, each of the denomination of $200 and bearing; interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum. The bonds will mature in ten years, June 1, 1915, and will be redeemable at the Miners' Savings bank. The board instructed Attorney William H. Gillespie to prepare the bo.ids and also to act for the board In their sale. The bonds will be sold by Mr. Gillespie on June 1 next. An attempt was made early this morning to bretik Into the house of Samuel Carr, No. 8 Rock street, Hughestown. The effort might have been successful had yot the burglar aroused the family in his endeavor to force a key from a lock of owe of the doors.' Mr. Carr was not at home last night, being engaged as night fireman at the electric light works. His sister, Mrs. liartlett, and her three children, were the only ones in the house when the attempt was made. The family Was awakened about 3:30 by a noise, as if some person was prowling about on the outside of the house. They paid little attention to it, as a small dog in the house had not barked. The burglar seemed to center his efforts on the door in an endeavor to force the key from the lock. While working ho struck the door quite sharply, arousing the dog. The members of the family then hurried to a window and were just in time to see one man hurrying away. Mrs. Bartlett's son fired a shot from a revolver at hlln. The neighbors were aroused and a search of the premises was made, but the man had left no traces. The door showed signs that he had spent some time trying to break in. It was marked in many places by large pieces of candle grease. The key of thp door was scratched, as if some instrument had been used frojn tin: outside in an effort to turn It. Washington.

New York, May 13.—After more than eleven months of imprisonment Nan Patterson has been set free, and at 12:10 o'clock this morning she started for Washington to find solace In the arms of her mother. She was accompanied by her father, her sister, Mrs. Julia Smith, aud her brother-in-law, ,T. Morgan Smith, who also had been freed on motion of the district attorney. Smith, however, had been fined $250 for contempt of court In not having answered a grand jury subpoena, though the conspiracy charge on which he and his wife had been brought to this city was dropped. Chicago, May 13.—J. T.

By the testimony of II. Streyckmans, former secretary to W. G. Seeley of the Armour car lines, it was shown that the company pays rebates to shippers, the amount varying with the strength of their "pull," and juggles with icing bills furnished .them by the railroads so that it is made to appear that they pay more for ice than they really do: that certain railroads, said to he the Northwestern, the St. Paul and the Erie, pay the Armour people a bonus of $10 a car for routing the fruit shipments over their roads and that despite the denial of high railway oiiicials a pool exists between the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific with respect to the California fruit traffic.

He was first discovered climbing over the Iron fence surrounding the White House. By the time Hopkins reached him the fellow was beating on the rear door of the executive mansion and frantically tugging at It, crying:Secretary Taft remained with the president nearly two hours and laid before him the entire case. Upon leaving the White House he would make no statement except to say that Mr. ltoosevelt would take personal charge of the inquiry and the secretary would give whatever assistance was possible.

The weather had been threatening for a couple of days, but the rain hung off until about 8:30 last evening. Heavy black clouds in the western sky for several hours before the rain began to fall lndiciited the coming of a storm, but nobody was prepared for the downpour that followed. The rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning, but the lightning was not severe and caused no damage. A high wind prevailed, however, during the greatest height of the storm, and some damage was done by It to small trees. The rain came dowft in sheets for about half an hour. The amount of water that fell in a short space of time was remarkable. In various parts of the community much annoyance and some damage was done by the flood of water. Many streets were badly washed, especially those on sidehllls, and great quantities of soil were washed to the low Kround. At the foot of every street leading into Main street, this morning, was a heap of debris that had beer, washed down from the hills. The city olllclals had men at work early carting the mud and debris away. Main street was a veritable pond during the storm. In many parts of the city, sewers and gutters became blocked and the overflowing water went into cellars and yards, causing great annoyance. Utica, N.

Mr. Bowon's dispatches to tlio state deportment In which tlie charges which he said were current in Caracas arc contained were laid before the president last night in the shape of a brief. Mr. Looinls' denial, when it is finally submitted in writing, will be considered in the same manner. Both officials will then be given an opportunity to state their cases in person. Governor Pennypacker has announced his decisions in regard to charity appropriations made by the Legislature that recently adjourned. A great deal of pruning was necessary, on account of the fact that the appropriations were many hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess of the income of the state during the coming two years. Pittston hospital was very fortunate in haVing its bill for the full amount, $20,000, signed by the governor. The appropriation is divided as follows: For maintenance for two years, $18,500; for improvements and repairs, $500; for an X-ray machine and laboratory, $1,000. As the results show, the trustees of the Pittston hospital were wise In deciding not to fiialce application for a THE JUBILEE SERVICES FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Says Newspapers Were Responsible.

Mr. Jerome insisted the newspapers were responsible for the fact that the last Jury stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction of manslaughter in the first degree.

When the present church edifice was erected, some four years ago, the congregation found it necessary to mortgage the property for The money was borrowed, free of interest, from the Congregational Home Mission society, on conditior that it be repaid within ten years. ,,~So successful bus been the church In collecting subscriptions that the entire debt has been wiped out in four years, and the mortgage lias recently been paid.

These include allegations concerning a $10,000 check said to have been made out by the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company when Mr. Loomis was minister at Caracas, that Mr. Loomis bought a claim and then pressed It against Venezuela, that he guaranteed nonintervention by the United States to the Venezuelan receiver of the asphalt company's property and that he did other things which an American diplomat had no right to do. By these letters and statements It was shown that the Armour charges for icing are even more excessive than the commission had supposed. For example, the Northwestern railroad furnished ice to the Armour car line, delivering it in the bunkers for $1.50 a ton. thereby giving the Armour people a profit of between 400 and 500 per cent. The Smiths, wanted as witnesses, were indicted for conspiracy.

For some reason not yet definitely determined, the sewer pipe became clogged and the water backed up Into the building through the pipes leading to the closets on the first, second and thlril floors. The pipes carrying water from the roof empty into the sewer pipe and this swelled the flood. Water ran upon the threo floors of the building In the vicinity of the hallways and soaked through th""" plastering. The floor in the bath rooms on the llrst floor were also covered with water. Fortunately the flood occurred while the building was opened, and the precaution had been taken in erecting the building to have water traps placed in the floors of the' bathrooms. Between a broom brigade and the traps, the flood was taken care of without delay. The plastering was soaked by the flood but Is drying out and It Is probable that no serious damage will result to tho building. Union Pacific U. S. Steel . U. S.

They were going toward the Laurel Line station, and just as they reached the first alley beyond Main street the foreigner appeared. He appeared to be in a rage and was muttering curses beneath his breath, lii his hand lie held a large revolver which he was holding ready Cor action. It appeared t(\ the constable and his companion as if the man was looking for revenge or that he was waiting for some enemy to come along. As soon as the foreigner saw the two men he put the revolver in his pocket and walked up to the fruit stand a short distance away, where he purchased some fruit. After waiting near the station for about 20 minutes he walked along the Erie tracks to Pine street and disappeared. President Itoosevplt took pprsonal chargp of all the various questions now up for administrative action.
