An opinion WM rendered by Attorney General Stone on u question put to him by J. B. Knoepllor , state superintendent ot public instruction. It seems that out In one of the school districts In the interior of the state a pupil was ex polled for general bad conduct and readmitted by tbo subdlroctor and president of the township board , who arc by law authorized to suspend and rcad- uilt pupili when they sea fit. The township board then took things into their own bands and ordered the pupil dlsmlisoa. An appeal was taken to tbo county superintendent , ffbo has laid the matter before the itato 4uporintondimt. In his decision the attorney general quotes the law , vhich provides that In independent districts tbo board has the power ot expul sion , But in district , townships , ho says , where tbo affairs of tbo whole township ara managed by a board consisting of ono suo- director from each district , the power of ex pulsion Hoi solely with the subdlrector and the president of the board , so that the board as a wbolo had no right to interfere.

A strange scene , and ono thnt caused a inrpn ltcd sensation , was enacted yesterday morning In front of St , Francis Xnvlcr's Catholic church , The funeral of the late PatrlcK McCann was announced to talco place at ID o'clock , and us the dccoatod was a member of the union army during the war of tbo late rebellion , the members of the Grand Army of the Republic nnd the Union Veteran Legion assembled In their halls nnd marched to the church with the body of their cotnrndo. The Legion was commanded by Scott Hico nnd the Oraud Army by D. Maltby with B. J. Abbott as adjutant. When the old soldiers arrived at the church door they wore mot by Hov. Father O'Uourko who stated that the ttng that covered the coflln must bo removed and loft together with the Hag that the men carried and all the army regalia outside the church door. Comrade McCann fought to proiorvo this flag , " said Contain Mnltbv , "nnd unless wo can tnVo our Hag In with us wo will stay utslao. " 'Very well , " was the reply of the priest. "And If you refuse to allow us to tnko thong ng nisldo the body shall remain outside , oo , " said Maltby. "His entirely Immaterial to mo,11 said the riost. And with that the soldiers nicked up ho coflln containing the remains of their do- leased comrade and wended their way to the opot , where the remains wcro taken to Wos- on for Interment. The whole thing was ono In K minute , and but few noticed thnt cytblng out of the usual order of things had .nkon place outsldo of the men who made UD ho nroccsslon. It wns not long before the affair leaked ut , however , and during the afternoon It was too favorite theme of conversation on ; ho street corners. The Indignation of the > ld soldiers at having the national colors hut out of the church building knew no ounds. A BEE representative called on Father O'Hourke yesterday afternoon to got his torsion of tha story. As told lu his own words , It Is ns follows : "Ttio rule of tho. Cat hello church Is that all ecrot societies attending funerals In the liurcli must leave their lings and other re- ; nlla outsldo. Ttiis is the first cose of the find I ever had to deal with , and T supposed : hnt the Grand Army and Union Veteran oaguo came under the sama head as the ther societies. If I had consulted Father rlcMonnmy I should have learned that they wore different from the other societies ; hut [ did not , and consequently I am airald I made a very prnvo mistake. I do not want ilthor myself or the Catholic church to bo lonsldored opposed to the American flag or , ho American government.

Mr. Wadsworth was alone in tbo house with his two llttlo children , an.1 by the time ho got them out of the way of danger and turned In an alarm the flames had made such headway that It was almost Impossible to save any htng except a few of tno lighter household treasures. The Icy condition of the hill made it difficult for the hose teams to reach the place as quickly as usual , nnd there was also some delay lu getting water. By the tlmo the flrst streams were turned on the whole Interior of tbo place was blistered. A grent crowd gathered ard the furniture In some of the front rooms wns carried out , Including a greater portion of perhaps the finest picture and art collection in the city. All else was destroyed.

The Horary , comprising about f l-00 worth of books , was In n front room , and the greater part of this was saved , but the cases were destroyed. The flro originated In thu furnace room , It Is supposed cither by matches or live coals dropping from the furnace door. The prop erty was valued nt several thousand dollars. It wns purchased from C.

Mr. Balfour , govern ment leader In the House of Commons , moved odny that Mr. Edward De Coban , member 'or East Belfast , who is a fugitive from jus- Ice In consequence ot the Issuing of a war rant for his arrest on a grossly Immoral charge , bo notified to attend the session of , ho house on Tuesday , the 23rd Instant. Sir William Vernon Harcourt , liberal , seconded ho motion nnd It was adopted. This is a move preparatory to the formal expulsion of the offending member. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain , the loader of the ibcral unionists , in resuming the debate on the address in reply to the queen's speech , twitted the opposition with still not knowing what homo rule scheme Mr. Gladstone in tended to submit. Ho twitted them uUo con cerning their wavering policy in regard to the evacuation of Egypt. Ut. Hon. John Morley , member for New- cnstlc-on-Tyne , Mr. Gladstone's lieutenant. replied that the liberals had not asited for the instant enncimtlon of Esypt , but they were opposed to Lord Salisbury acting as if England had rights beyond those of manda tory powers. Mr. John E , Redmond , In proposing an amendment for the relunsa of treason-followny prisoners , repudiated any sympathy with dynamiters. Ho vindicated the innocence of Dbly and Ecu'n. Mr. Matthews , tbo homo secretary , hod bold that these prisoners were fairly treated , that they were dynamite , not political , con victs , and that their sentences ought to run the usual courso. Sir. Matthews said that , the government had proof that Daly had asked for and re ceived money nnd bombs from Now York. Ho declined to produce this proof. Daly's suggestion that he bad been the victim of politics was unfounded. Egan's offense , the nome secretary said , is n lessor ono. The tlmo might come when it would bo possible to reconsider his cose. In tlic HOUHO of r.orili. In the House of Lords the marquis of Lon donderry asked whether it was true that Messrs. "John Dillon , William O'Brien and Timothy Healy , all members of the House of Commons , had nt tbeir own request been ac corded police protection In Ireland. Earl Cadogan , lord privy seal , replied that police protection had been accorded to the gentlemen named. Further than that ho de clined to say anything. The marquis of Londonderry said that pro tection had been conceded to them bccnuso two racing factions existed In Ireland , who wcro breaking each other' * heads and who wore reudy to shod each other's blood. It was to the interest of unionists to lot people understand the condition of Irish parties In order that they might realize how absurd and dangerous it would bo to grant the Irish any measure of homo rule that would place the loyal minority at too tender mercies of such mon. If Earl Cadoean wa * unable to give a satisfactory explana tion in reply to tbo question asked him , ho , the marquis of Londonderry , would ratso the wholn question of protection on a separ ata motion. Lord Salisbury sold that the government could not be expected to alvulgo information it had received in confidence. The marquis of Londonderry Intimated that he would make n formal motion. niKlt l'"OU HIS 1'AITJI. Kxeeiitiou of a High Clilnesn Oflli'lal Ite- cnufie Ho Adopted Christianity. LONDON , Fob. 11.

It seems to bo the general opinion of railway men hero that tbero is no danger of serious trouble over the Immigration commission business. Officials of the Central Traftlo association discredit tbo rnport that the eastern trunk lines are getting Into a wrangle ever this traffic.

The Stock Exchange this morning roiolved itself practically Into an exchange for Reading stock. Over 300- 000 shares of this ono stock were traded In during the flrst half hour of business. It Is doubtful if the Stock Exchange ever witnessed such a scene as took place at the opening of business this morning. The post where dealers In Reading stoclt usu ally congregate is In the Broad street wing of the board room , buttbls morning a rolchty crowd of brokers , packed ddtjsoly together , overflowed the usual limits ofa stock crowd and swallowed up In their .numbers half n dozen other groups , the members of which had to get elsewhere If they wished to trade in this special stock. Reading stock closed lasV 'night at 55 % , but later the details of a bip deal by which the company Is to control the Jersey Central and Lohlgh Valley were made public and at tbo Windsor hotel last night 60 was bid for the stock. At the drop of Chairman Mitch- oil's gavel at 10 o'clock this morning an nouncing the opening of business the 200 brokers gathered in thai'Reading group became like , so many maniacs. Such a ' ' ' hustling , pulling and oxcito'd' crowd of men has seldom been seen. Length of limbs and depth of volco came in in good stead this morning. Once in the middle of the crowd it was impossible to got out and trading wont on at very different prices in the Inside from the outskirts of the crowd. Tbo stock opened in the board at 57.V . Simultaneous sales were made at 59 and In a few minutes 04 was touched , an advance of nlno points since this day lost woek. The scene was pandemonium. Wilder shouting , struggling and fighting has not oc curred at any time since the panic. The excitement did not flag scarcely through the dar and the brokers who had endured the ordeal were exhausted at the close of business. The enormous Interest in the coal deals caused many "specialists" brokers who devote their attention to ono or two par ticular stocks to refuse many transactions In their specialties. Messenger boys were at n premium. The confusion was Indescrib able. It was a day of tumult nnd excite ment that appalled the oldest men in tbo s treat. Figures alone will give some idea of trans- actions. It must be remembered that in day * of Intense excitement and activity tens of thousands of shares are bought and sold which are never reported so as to bo Included in the official record. In tbo flrst two hours after the opening if is estimated that " 900,000 shares were "dealt In. This is n rec ord rarely made for a day ; it bus often been the racord for a week.The total reported transactions for the day amounted to 1,442- 940 shares , or about tbo capital stock and one-half ovor. Fluctuations were of the wildest , kind and differences of fractions between - tweon the quotations were almost unnoticed Messrs. Drexel , Morgan & Co. , announced ofllclally this afternoon that tbo leases and contracts < vhlch wcro sicned last night have now boon ratiliod by the boards of directors of the Reading , New Jersey Central nnd Lohigh Valley Railway companies , by which was effected the combination of the anthra cite coal interests. Samuel Sloan , president of the Delaware , Lackawanna & Western said today , to n re porter regarding the combination : "Tho Lackawanna is thoroughly In sympathy with the combination. While wo bavo made no format agreement , with the Reading , wo shall act in harmony with that company and we shall not bo a competitive factor in the coal trade. We shall act with tbo combined interests both In the output and price of coal. Tbo object is , not to raise the price , but to regulate production and to make prices uniform , " It li stated that J. Rogers Maxwell and George E. Baker will go into the Lackawanna directory at the next election and that Presi dent Sloan of the Lackawnnna will In turn go into the Now Jortej Central directory. President Max well of the Now Jersey Central authorizes the following nt tomoiit : "Our people have been Pilfers of Lncka- wanna stock for some .tlmo past and now bavo a largo investment hplying in tbo prop erty , which does not appc&rp on the books. This has been Known to"Mr : Sloan for some timo. The stock has been , bought with the intention of working In harmony with Mr. Sloan for the general goon of tbo trade.

It Is acknowl edged that if the movement succeeds the sell ing agents will find their occupation gono. Frederick A , Potts , who handles much coal from other fields thau these represented . !
