It seems that out in one of the school districts in the interior of the state & pupil was expelled for general bad conduct and readmitted by the subdirector and president of the township board, who are by law autborized to suspend and read- wit pupils when they see fit. The township board then took things iuto their own hands and ordered the pupil dismissed. An appeal was taken to the county superintendent, ‘who has laid the matter before the state superintendent. In his decision the attorney general quotes tho law, which provides that in independent Qistricts the board has the power ot sion. But in district townships, he say ‘where the affairs of the whole township ai managed by a board consisting of one sub- director from each district, the power of ex- pulsion lies sololy with the subdirector and tho president of the board, so that the board 8s a whole had no right to interfere. — The Boston Store, Council Bluffs, Ia., announces a grund treat to the ladies of € juncil Blaffs and surrounding country, A special WHITE GOODS SALE for 8 days commencing Saturday mnrnln?;u\'ery- thing in the white goods line included in this sale.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | | Btrage Scene at the Door of a Local Ohurch, FUNERAL OF A VETERAN INTERRUPTED Rules of the Den ssed to rmit the Us the Casket ofn Soldier, thon Not Sup| A strange scene, and one that caused a inrge sized sensation, was enacted yesterday morning in front of St. Francis Xavier's Catholie church. The funcral of the late Patrick McCann was announced to take place at 10 o'clock, and as the deceased was amember of the union army during the war of the late rcbellion, the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Union Veteran Legion assembied in their halls and marched to the church with the body of their comrade. The Legion was commanded by Scott Rice and the Graud Army by D. Maltby with E. J. Avbott as adjutant. When the ola soldiers arrived at the church door they wore met by Rev. Father O'Rourke who stated that the flag that covered the coffin must be removed aud left together with the flag that the men ocarried and all the army regaiia outside the chureh door. “Comrade Mc('ann fought to presorvo this flag,” said Captain Maltby, “and unless we can take our flag in with us we will stay outside,” Very well,” was tho reply of the priest. *And if you refuse to allow us to take tho fiag 1side the body sball remain outside, 10, sald Maltby. “Itis entirely immaterial to me,” said the priest. And with that the soldiors picked up the coftin containing the remains of their de- ceased comrade and wended their way to the depot, where the remains were taken to Wes- ton for interment. The whole thing was done in & minute, and but few noticed thut atything out of the usual order of things had taken place outside of the men who made up the procession. 1t was not long before the affair leaked out, however, and during the afternoon it was tne favorite themo of conversation on the streot corners. The indignation of the old soldiers at having the national colors shut out of the church building koew no bounds. A Bee representative called on Father O'Rourke yesterday afternoon to get his version of tha story. As told in his own words, it is as follows: ““I'he rule of the Catholio church is that all secret societies attending funerals in the church must leave their flags and other re- galia outside. This 1s the first case of the kind T ever had to deal with, and T supposed that the Grand Armyand Union Veteran league came under the same head as the other societies. If Ihad consulted Father McMenamy I should bhave learned that they were different from the other societies: but I did not, and consequently I am arraid 1 wade a very greve mistake. I[do not want either myself or the Catholic church to be considered opposed to the American flag or the American government.’ Lost—Gentleman’s watch charm in shape of horse shoe, set with diamonds and rubi Finder leave at BEs office and receive reward.

B, Waasworth at 321 Park avenue was almost entirely de- stroyed by fire last night. The fire was first discovered breaking up through the floor above the furnace room at 9 o'clock. Mr. Wadsworth was alone in the house with his two little children, and by the time he 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: thing except a few of the lighter household treasures. The icy condition of the hill made it diMicult for the hose teams to reach the place as quickiy as usual, and there was also some delay iu getting water. By the time the first streams were turned on the whole interior of the place was blistered. A great crowd gathered ard the furmture in some of tao front rooms was carried out, including a greater portion of perhaps the finest pioture and art collection 1n the city. All else was dostroyed, Mrs. Wadsworth had accompaaied a party of friends toOmaha toattond the theater and knew nothing of the calamity until she re- turned to find ber beautiful home a mass of ruins, with a few broken and scattered arti- cles lying in the street to represent its ele- gant furmshings, The liorary, comprising about $1,200 worth of books, was in a front room, and the greater part of this was saved, but the cases were destroyed. ‘The fira originated in the furnace room, it is luptw!ad either by matches or live coals dropping from tho furnace door. The prop- orty was valued at several thousand dollars. It was purchased from C. R. Allen three 000, and Mr. Wadsworth has since expended about #3,000.

Loxpboy, Feb, 11.—Mr. Balfour, govern ment leader in the House of Commons, moved today that Mr. Edward De Coban, member for East Belfast, who is a fugitive from jus- tice in consequence of the issuing of a war- rant for his arrest on a grossly immoral charge, be notified to attend the session of the house on Tucsday, the 23rd instant. Sir Willlam Vernon Harcourt, liberal, seconded the motion and it was adopted. This is a move preparatory to the formal expulsion of the offending member. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the leader of the liberal unionists, in resuming the debate on the address in reply to the queen’s speech, twitted the opposition with still not knowing what home rule scheme Mr. Gladstono 1n- tended to submit. He twitted them also con- cerning their wavering policy 1n rogard to the ovacuation of Egypt. Rt. Hon. John Morley, member for New- castlc-on-Tyne, Mr. Gladstone's lieutenant, replied that the liberals bad not asked for the instant enacuation of Egypt, but they wore opposed to Lord Salisbury acting as if England had rights beyond those of manda- tory powers. Mr. John E. Redmond, in proposine an amendment for therelease of treason-fellowny prisoners, ropudiated any sympathy with dynamiters. He vindicated the innoconce of Daly and Egun, Mr. Matthews, the home secretary, had held that these prisoners were fairly treated, that they were dynamite, not political, con" viots, and that their sentences ought to run the usual course. Mr. Matthews said that tue government had proof that Daly had asked for and re- ceived money and bombs from New York. He declined to produce this proof. Daly's suggestion that he had been the victim of politics was unfounded. Egan’s offense, the home secretary said, is a lesser one. The time might come when it would be possible 1o reconsider his case. In the House of Lords. In the House of Lords the marquis of Lon- donderry asked whethor 1t was true that Messrs. John Dillon, William O’Brien and Timothy Healy, all members of the House of Commons, had at their own request been ac- corded police protection in [reland. Earl Endonln. lord privy seal, replied that police protection had been saccorded to tho gentlemen named. Further than that he de- clined to say anything. The marquis of Londonderry said that pro- tection had been conceded 1o them because two raging factions existed in Irelana, who were breaking each other’s heads and who were reudy to shed each other's blood. It was 10 the interest of unionists to lot people understand the condition of Irish parties in order that they might realize how absurd and dangerous 1t would be to grant the Irish any measure of home rule that would place the loval minority at the tender mercies of such men. (f Earl Cadogan was unable to give & satisfactory explan tion in reply to the question asked him, hi the marquis of Londonderry, would rai: the whole question of protection on & separ- ate motion.

At the conclusion of his address the court adjourned until morning. S g BROKERS WENT WILD. Speculation In Reading Stock Reached Gi- gantle Proportions Yesterdny. NEew York, Feb. 11. —The Stock Exchange this morning resolved itself practically into an exchange for Reading stock. Over 300, 000 shares of this one stock were traded in during the first half hour of business. It is doubtful if the Stock Exchanze ever witnessed such a scene as took place at the opening of business this morning. The post where dealers in Reading stock usu- ally congregate is in the Broad street wing of the board room, butthis morning a mighty crowd of brokers, packed densely together, overflowed the usual limits of a stock crowd and swallowed up in their numbers half a dozen other groups, the members of which had to get elsewhero if they wished to trade 1 this special stock. X Reading stock closed last night at but later the details of a big deal by which the company is to control the Jersey Central and Lehigh Valley were made public and at the Windsor hotel last night 60 was bid for the stock. At the drop of Chairman Mitch- ell’s gavel at 10 o'clock this morning an- nouncing the opening of business the 200 brokers gathered in the!'Reading group became like so many mamacs. Such & husthing, pullicg and excited crowd of men has seldom been seen. Length of limbs and depth of voice camein in good scead this morning. Once in the middle of the crowd it was 1mpossibie to get out aud trading went on at very differont prices in the inside from the outskirts of the crowd. The stock opened in the board at 57)¢. Simultaneous sales were made at 59 and in a few minutes 64 was touched, an advance of nine points since this day last woek. Tho scene was pandemonium. Wilder shouting, struggling and fighting has not oc- curred at sany time since the panic. The excitement did not flag scarcely through the day 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 toone or two par- ticular stocks —to refuse many transactious in their specialties, Messenger ooys were at a premium. The confusion was indoscrib- able. It was a day of tumult and excite- ment that appalled the oldest men in the sireat. Figures alone will give some idea of trans- actions. It must be remembored that in days of intense excitement and activity tens of thousands of shares are bought and sold which are never reported so as to be included in the official record. In the first two hours after the opening it is estimated that 900,000 shares were dealt in. Thisis a rec- ord rarely made for a day; it hus often been the racord for 8 week, The total reported transactions for the day amounted to 1,442,- 940 shares, or about the capital stock and one-half over. Fluctuations were of the wildest kind and differe.ces of fractions be- tween tho quotations were almost unnoticed Messrs, Drexel, Morgan & Co., announced officially this afternoon that the leases and contracts which were signed last night have now buen ratitied oy the boards of directors of the Reading, New Jersey Central and Lehigh Valley Rallway companies, by which was effected the combination of the anthra- cite conl interests. Samuel Sloi {:rmfldeum of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western said today, to a re- orter reearding the combination: ‘The ackawanna is thoroughly in sympaty with the combination. While we have made no formal agreement, with the Reading, we sball act in harmony with that company and we shall not _be a competitive factor in the coal trade. We shall act with the comvined interosts both in the output and price of coal. The object 1s, not to raise the price, but to rogulate production snd to make prices uniform,” Tt is stated that J. Rogers Maxwell and George E. Baker will gointo the Cackawanna direciory at the next election and that Presi- dent Sloan of the Lackawanna will io turn £ into the New Jersey (entral directory. President Maxwell of tho New Jersey Central authorizes toe following statement: “Our people have been yuyers of Lacka- wanna stock for some Limo pastand now have a large investment holding in the prop- erty, which does not appagy_ on tke books.

New ¥ork Depotsabs Canal bt Yovve B2 s some additional details in rogard ‘deal.” ‘The primary object of the arrangement is, he suys, to secure a more economical management in the coal trade by avoiding expensive selling agencies and heavy commissions. It is acknowledged even by the independent producers that the combination with the = Lackawanna in- cluded would control i5 por cent of tus anthracite coul trafic of Ponneylvania. As one of the main features of the deal looks toward the abolish- g of selling agonts the action of the inde pendent producers and selling agents is the subject of soms comment. It is acknowl- edeed that if the movoment succeeds the sell- ing agents will find their occupation gono. Frederick A, Potts, who handles much coal from other fields than vhose representedain the deal, saia today : “It is imposaible at this time to judye its workings and effects of the movement. Coal is u bulky commodity, must be distributed. ‘There are several roads bringing coal to this city, for instance, that are uot mentioned as being in the combination. Among these are the Erie, the New York, Susque- hanna & Western, the Pennsvivania and the Lenigh Coal and Navigation compa: course we can get coal from thesa sources, somo of which own cosl mines and some of which are merely carviers, Just how our interests will be affected remains to be seen. Of course it may be a more serious matter for those scliing agents who hava depended on the roads in the combination for their supply.” — CULLOM WOULD ACCEPT, He Would Not Refuse a Presidential Nom- tion If Oftered Him. Cuicago, 1L, Fev. 11.—Senator Cullom, who arrived in the city tonight, was ex- tremely reluctant to talk on presidential mat- vers. *'1 can only admit,” said he finally, ‘‘that if the people of this state feel thatIam worthy of thehonor and the republican delo- gation is so inclined, I shall be gratified at having mv name put 1n nomination. If the state should feel otherwise I shall most heartily endorse whatever is thought best for the party and nation.” Senator Cullom believes Mr. Blaine's let- ter of declination is thoroughly sincere, but says the talk of his resigning from the cabi- net has no foundation. Mr. Blaine, he said, is subjected to sudden illness and is some- times moody. Perhaps, in some excitaole moment, he said something of resigning, but, if 80, 1t really meant nothing. - Alleghen Pirtsnune, P . sion of Mayor Wyman’s ‘trial, the case against fex-Mayor Richard T. Pearson of Allegheny for embezzlement was taken up. it is alleged that Mr. Pearson, April 1, 1890, while mayor, received $i04 and con- verted it to his own use. This money was collected from the courts for police duty. ‘The principal witness calied was the mayor's clerk, Hunnassagen, who occupied the stand the greater part of the session. The prosecution relied upon his testimony to establish their case, but 1t was conceded that he was more valuable to the defense. He testifiod that the money was paid to the offi- cers to whom it belonged as fees and that in no caso did any of it pass into the hands of rn ties at $8.80.
