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.

Siihllrr.
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. "

S. It. Wtulsworth'a Residence Destroyed
The line residence ot S. B. Wadsworth at

discovered breaking up through the floor
above the furnace room nt 0 o'clock. 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.
Mrs. Wadsworth hod accompanied a party
of fnendt to Omaha toattond the theater and

rums , with a few broken and scattered arti
cles lying in the street to represent its elegant -
gant furnishings. 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

LONDON , Fob. 11. 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 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.

Cmcuoo , 111. , 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.
Chairman Donald said today that unless
matters have undergone a most remarkable
chaise within two weeks tbo talk about a
prospective outbreak is the height of ab
surdity , The trunk lines' presidents at the
recent meeting formed nn agreement of such
a character thnt u rupture BO soon seems

A meeting of the Chicago oast-bound lines
was held today for the purpose of making

Speculation In Kcitillnff Stock Ilcnchcd < il-
Kiinttc Proportions YcRtcntiiy.
Nnw YOIIK , Fab. 11. 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

and heavy commissions. It Is acknowledged
even by tbo independent producers that the
combination with the Lackruvamm In-

of tlio antbraclto coal trafllo of
Pennsylvania. As OHO of the main
features of the deal loons toward the abolish
ing of selling agents the action of the independent
pendent producers and .soiling agents Is the
subject of some couimeat. It Is acknowl
edged that if the movement succeeds the sell

from other fields thau these represented . ! "
the deal , snla today :
"It Is Impossible at this tlmo to judge iu
workings nnd effects of the movement. Coal
Is u bulky commodity , must bo distributed.
There nro several roads bringing coal to tbts
city , for instance , that are not mentioned
as being in the combination. Among
these are the Eric , the Now York , Susquehanna -
hanna & Western , the Pennsylvania and the
Lrnlgh Coal and Navigation company. Of
course we can got coal from tbeso sources ,
some of which own coal inlno * and some of
wnich are merely carriers. Just how our
Interests will bo affected remains to bo seen.
Of course it may bo a moro serious matter
for those selling agents who hava depended
on tbo roads in the combination for their
supply. "

"I can only admit , " said ho finally , "that
it the people of this state feel that I am
worthy of the honor and the republican dele
gation is so inclined , I shall bo gratified at
having tnv name put in nomination. If the
state should feel otherwise I shall most
heartily endorse wbatovor is thought best
for tbo party and nation. "
Senator Cullom believes Mr. Blaino's let
ter of declination is thoroughly sincere , but
says the talk of his resigning from the rabi-
not has no foundation. Mr. Elaine , he said ,
is subjected to sudden illness and is some
times moody. Perhaps , in some oxcitaolo
moment , ho said something of resigning , but ,
if so , it really meant nothing.

Beauty often depends on
plumpness ; so does comfort ;
so does health. If you get
thin , there is something
wrong , though you may feel
no sign of it. '
Thinness itself is a sign ;
sometimes the first sign ;
sometimes not.
The way to get back
plumpness is by CAREFUL
LIVING , which sometimes in
cludes the use of Scott's
Emulsion of cod-liver oil.
Let us send you free a
little book which throws much
light on all these subjects.
