In Judge Miller’s court yesterday a neatly- @ressed young man, whose face indicated that he was under some mental strain, stood im the dock to answer a charge of grand larceny. He was charged with having stolen @ horse and buggy belonging to Mr. J. T. Hurst, a resident of the Conduit road. He guilty. It was explained to the court the young man was seen in Georze- i with the stolen horse and buggy, and nm Upperman, who recognized the team, arrested him. He had endeavored to @ispose of the stolen property for $100, and when his supposed would-be purchaser com- of the price stated, he dropped to le went to jail in default of $0 a ee Parchasi Material.

Other Business Transacted at Last Night's Meeting—More Salaries Wanted for Janitors. The school board yesterday afternoon gave a hearty indorsement to the project for a local public Mbrary, recently adopted by the board of trade. The matter was brought up at the regular meeting of the beard at the Franklin building, when, after the routine business of the meeting was transacted, Trustee Bruce called the atten- tion of the board to the report of the com- mittee on the public library, which was submitted to the board of trade on the 27th of March. He said: “I desire to call attention to one of the most important matters that has come be- fore the board for some time. Here is a of trade of this city, and signed by some of the best-known citizens of Washington. I find attached to this document the names of Messrs. Theodore W. Noyes, James T. DuBois, Daniel Murray, John G. Ames, Frederick B. McGuire, George E. Emmons and Simon Wolf, all of whom are very well known to the community. This is a matter in which every citizen feels a direct interest. It fs a maiter of regret that in the capital city of the nation, representing the wealth and intelligence of the whole | country, there should not be’a library ac- cessible to the poor people, the common people, the working classes, or indeed the clerks. These people cannot attend the | Congressional Library in the daytime.and it is shut in the evening. The departmental libraries are smali and mostly technical in their character, and there is no one of these collections of books that can be termed a general library, in the proper sense of the term. Yet, put together, these books would make a most valuable library, | Which could serve as the nucleus for a great collection in later years. There is | hardly a city of any importance in the | United States without a free library, and it | is high time that Washington should have one that can be used by the people who must work in the hours of daylight, as well jas by those with leisure read in the | working day. I do not think the school } board could do a wiser thing than to adopt @ resolution commending this report and | the entire project, and 1, therefore, submit a draft of such a resolution.” At the request of Mr. Bruce, Secretary | Falck read the report of the committee, which was listened to with great interest | by the trustees. The resolution was then } read, and immediately adopted by a unanimous vote, as follows: “Be it resolved by the board of public school trustees of the District of Columbia, that this board heartily indorse the report made to the Washington board of trade by | the committee on the public library on the | 27th of March last, and urge upon Congress | the passage of the bill submitted there- with.” Sealing Pay. The meeting of the board was attended by Trustees Wheipley, Bowen, Cornish, Bguce, Wilson and Shadd. Little business was before the board for transaction, and the meeting was adjourned in about half an hour. Mr. Wilson brought up the mat- ter of the pay of some janitors in his divi- sion, which have recently been scaled slightly in order to make up a deficiency in the fund from which they are paid. ‘ecretary Falck stated that the fund had been discovered at Christmas time to be in danger of running short before the expira- | tion of the school year, and it was then | | found to be necessary to scale the pay of | each of the Janitors of the four-room bulld- jings fifty cents a month. The total de- ficiency was about 364. In reply to a ques- tion by Mr. Wilson, Mr. Falck said that this deficiency could not be make by scal- {ing the pay of teachers, or that of the Janitors of the eight-room buildings, who are provided for specifically in the appro- priation. These men, though, are paid out of a lump sum. More Pay for Janitors. Mr. Bowen said that ever since his ap- pointment as a trustee he had been paying considerable attention to the matter of the pay of janitors, and he would take an early opportunity to institute some movement to get their rates raised. The men, he said, are required to have high qualifications, they must be s, mechanics and carp rs, and must give their cons attendance so that they cannot do other work. these services th are paid $5) a year, and out of this they must pay pretty near $luv a year for the hire of sweeps and other assistants. “It is simply abominabl: said Mr. | Bowen, in conclusion, “to ask such men to work for such a sum as this. They should surely get more money for the work they are compelled to do, or at least the money they now pay out of their own pockets for necessary help should be paid ou t of some general fund specitica!ly pr ed.” Mr. Wheipley suggested that this w form the subject of a proper inquiry by t committee on appropriation: ad Mr. Wil- son announced that he ready to co- operate with Mr. Bowen in his crusade against the low saiaries. Mr. Falck ex- med to the board that there was a re commendation for an y of janitors two years » but the esti- mate never got further than the Commis- sioners’ ollice, Other Business. The board ratified the appointments of Chas. Dixon to be janitor of the Munroe sehool, vice Joha Howard,and Henson Will- jams to be janitor of the ivy City school, vice Deaton McNutt.

An experienced builder reported, after a thorough examination, that | he ‘pronounces everything sound and ap- | parently safe.” “The trustees also consulted an architect in reference to the strength of the floor of the audience room. ‘They received the assur- ance, derived from his intimate knowledge of the construction, that the floors both of the audience rocm and the galleries are amply strong to sustain any weight which | may be placed upon them.” |.

It also urged the quarterly conference at its next meeting to secure a sufficient number of Bibles. or | books of Psaims to meet the requirements of responsive readings.
