The two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Loevin, qf No. 41 Lockwood avenue, had a narrow escape from death yesterday morning, and the older is still in a serious condition as the result, Mrs. Loevin was awakened about 4 a. tn. by a noise from Iher daughters’ room and immediately investigated. Her screams aroused_ her husband, who hurried to her side. Mrs. Loe vin had cause for alarm, as her daughters were lying on the floor un conscious and the room filled wtth f is. There was a hurried call for Dr. mberson, who responded and admin istered ’heroic treatment. Miss Ernie, 'hged 16, was the first to recover, but her sister, Nettie, aged 18, seemed more seriously affected and she was restored to consciousness with dif ficulty. The accident is accounted for by not fully closing the Bas jet when the girls retired. The younger girl has « ife recovered, but the other is still dicring from_ her experience with the death dealing vapors. It was the opinion of Dr. Ember- son that had the girls breathed the escaping gas for five minutes longer, the result would have been fatal to both. Their escape from death is most fortunate, and they are being con gratulated accordingly. Their Friends Given a Warming. About sixty friends and acquaint ances of Mr, and Mrs. Leopold Loevin from this city and out of town par ticipated in a house warming held at the new home of the Loevins at No. jt Lockwood avemie, on Sunday even ing last.

A string orchestra supplied excellent music throughout the evening, and a supper was catered by Mazetti. - The Toneola.

There is every prospect of a ball game between members of the local Police Department and the Lawyers of this city sometime in the future, posibiy next month. The exhibition will be for a local charity, and should cause consideratbie interest all over town. There is some good, material on both sides, and of sufficient call ber to furnish an interesting game. The legal advisors have been feeling quite superior since taking a fall out of the medicos last summer, and deem themselves fit to handle any aggregation that ever sported brass buttons. The “cops” will tell you that the lawyers are a sorry lot and about able to win at pinochle but nothing more. The contest svill certainly take place if the blue coats can arrange with the authorities to put nine men on the field at one time. Everyone with a drop of sporting blood will of course want to get a front seat when Jhe two meet. Both lawyers and pol ice are a fine body of men in their everyday togs, but when uniformed and trained for capers upon the dia mond they will certainly win the bouquets (this is serious). After their little conference with the lawyers the police will try and arrange a game with their Mount Vernon brethren Public Hearing on Bills. The Common Council convened in special session on Thursday evenin’ to give a public hearing on three bills affecting this city, now before the Legislature. They are known as As sembly Bills Nos. 2268, .2366 and 2307. As there was no opposition voiced to any o f these measures they were ap proved and will now await further ac tion by the Legislature. F U T U R E R I D A W A R D E D B Y T H E B 8 A R 0 O F E MRS. PITT SUGGESTS PLAN TO UTILIZE SCHOOLS FOR MAN UAL TRAINING PURPOSES DURING StTMMER VACATION. GENERAL REPAIRS TO BE UNDERTAKEN AT ALL SCHOOLS AFTER CLOSING TIME— TO PLACE LAWNS ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL IN PROPER CONDITION. — NEW . DIPLOMAS TO MARK FIRST GRADUATION THERE— THE BALDWIN CO.’S BILL TO BE SETTLED— NEW TEACHERS AND AN ASSIST ANT JANITOR APPOINTED— W. H. BROWN CO. THE SUC CESSFUL BIDDERS ON HIGH SCHOOL LIGHTING FIX TURES. The regular monthly meeting of, the'Board of Education held Tues day evening was productive of much important business, and there was a •general cleaning up of various mat ters that accumulate incident to the closing of Schools for the summer vacation. President Crennan occu pied the chair. An eligible list of assistant janitors from the Civil Service Commission-; ers was read, showing but ohe name, that of David Porter, Who had passed the necessary examination with 80 per cent. The communication was acted upon later, and it was decided to appoint Porter as assistant janitor at a yearly salary of $600. ] Michael Nardozzi, one of the janitors at the High' School, having petitioned for a'rais-e of salary from $600 td $700, it Was Vbted to grant the required in crease as other, janitors are receiving this amount. The'report of Health Officer Stev ens was next read. It included the examination of scholars for disease, and stated that a number of cases of sickness and diseases of the scalp, eye and ear had been diseovcrd. The afflicted pupils had 111 each instance been sent home. Dr. Stevens recom mended that the toilets in Winyah Avenrie School be repaired, as they could not be sufficiently flushed to carry off the odors. Referred to the Building and Grounds Committee with power. The Health Officer’s re port also touched on the defective ventilation of the sdhool rooms in Library Hall. Teachers there com plain that when the windows are raised the street noises interfere with the school work. When fhe windows are closed the air becomes oppres sive and tends to make teachers and pupils unfit for work. He called at tention of the Board to the room at the end of the hall at Trinity Place School, which is complained of, as being draughty and a cause for sick ness. These items were referred to the same committee. A letter from Mrs. Anna Sutton Pitt was read by President Crennan, asking if some provision could not he made to keep the schools open during vacation time for manual training purposes. The writer ex plained the benefits which would ac crue if the plan was put into opera tion, and the success it had met with elsewhere. Many useful ideas could thus be secured by our boys and girls that would be of valuable result later on. The writer asked the Board to consider the matter, and if agreeable to' take the proper steps to carry out the plan. Discussion was given Mrs. Pitts’ suggestion, and it was both commended and objected to. It was finally referred to the Teachers’ Com mittee to confer with Mrs. Pitt and report at the next meeting. Bills to the amount of$6,041.22 were read by the Clerk, and referred to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee’s report showed a balance to credit in the North Avenue School Fund of $686.- 15. The disbursements in the general school fund amounted to $58,529.56. A statement from City Clerk Kammer meyer explained that the share of the city’s tax budget apportioned to the educational fund would soon be forth coming. The report was received and filed. The following substitute teachers in fhe gramar grade Were reported engaged by the Teachers’ Commit tee: 'Miss Susanna McFarland, Miss Eugenia S. Gbrdon, Miss Florence Ferens, Miss Clare Howe. Miss Flor ence Monger is engaged as a primary teacher. The matter of placing the High School grounds in proper condition L D F Y . M . C , II. Annual Reports of Various Depart ments Show Good Results During the Past Year.—Election of Direc tors— Association is on a Sound Fi nancial Basis;—Anniversary to Be Observed With a Bible Conference With the Co-Operation of the Churches of the City, Opening Sun day, May 19, and Closing Friday Evening, the 24th. Engineering Company was read, stating that the claims against them from John Farrell and Ensinger Brothers had been satisfactorily settled. The Company requested that ■the sum of $179 withheld by the Board, because of these claims be paid fo them. It was ordered that a draft be drawn to settle this amount. The report of the Supplies Com mittee was received and placed on file. , The Inspection Committee recom mended the building of a road in the rear of the High, School, the ashes there to be used in? its construction. Referred to Buildings and Grounds Committee. It’s [recommendations for towel racks in the toilet rooms of the High School; and *bicycle racks in basement there Jin front of the boiler rooms, .were] referred to the Buildings and Grounds Committee with power, The need of picture moulding in fhe halls was referred to the same committee.l The Inspection Committee advised Jhe placing of a hand elevator in the* High School fo carry stock to the third floor. It was decided to take this matter up with the architect at a late meeting. It suggested th'af fhe laboratories be placed in the basement and that a number of blackboards be replaced as they have gone to pieces. Hie guaran tee given by the blackboard contrac tor will hold him responsible for this work. The Committee advised that the depression at Winyah avenue and Spring street be filled in, sodded and planted witlr shrubs, qs at present this spot is most unsightly. The soiled and cracked\ partition walls in all the schools were recommended to be put in proper condition during the vaca tion season. The report of the Superintendent of Schools recommended the painting of two .piazzas at Weyman and Winyah Avenue Schools, and the repairing of leaky gutters and roofs at the Winyah Avenue School; the necessary grad ing to carry off rain water at the High School, and the moving of the keyboard of the electric belis at the Higli School from the Principal's office to the outer office, because of the inconvenience to teachers in going up and down stairs in order to work 'the bells. These recommendations were referred . to fhe Buildings and Grounds Committee. The Superin- tendeht brought up the matter of the closing exercises in the schools, and asked if a new diploma could not be secured for the first graduation in the new High School, having a cut of that building on it. This item was referred to a, special committee of Trustees Marvin and Smith to try and have a new diploma ready by gradua tion time. The matter of programs and other incidentals to closing time were referred to the Superintendent. He reported the fitting observance of Arbor Day in the schools, and recom mended more light for, the laboratory in the shape of alterations in the top of the room. It was reported that 860 tons of coal Siad been consumed by the schools during the past season, and the Buildings and Grounds Commit tee recommended the building of sufficient coal bins to store the greater part of the supply needed. President Crennan touched on the woes of Truant Officer Harvey. That individual thinks a raise in salary about due him, as bis work is fast in creasing. The subject was discussed and the salary paid in comparison with that in neighboring cities com pared quite favorably. It seems that it is more of a question of an assist ant than an increase in salary to ... settle this matter. It was referred .to was brought up by the Buildings and the Superintendent of Schools to :n- Flour, Pilisbury’* Beit i* the Beit* Grounds Committee. This work has been the cause of a difference be tween Siebrecht 8s Sons and the Board as to what is required and the cost of same. Mr. Siebrecht agreed to top dress, seed, roll and sod the front lawns at the High School for the sum of $280. Mr. Ketchum, of this committee, stated that he had reecived an offer from a local land scaper to rake the stones off the lawns, put in three bushels of seed and lay the necessary sodding for $100. Another offer had been made him to harrow all ground in the rear of the school, grade, seed, roll all lawns and build road in rear for hauling, coal for the sum of $330. Trustee Bill suggested that it was very necessary to give the front lawns a tliqrough top dressing and to sod a strip along the front sidewalk ?nd erect a wire guard .to prevent people walking on the (reshly seeded ground. Superintendent Young was of the opinion that the offer of $100 to rake and seed the lawns was too low to insure the work being done properly, and therefore should not be consid ered. The matter was referred to, the Buildings and Grounds Committee with power. A communicaiion from the Baldwin vestigate and report. The matter of awarding the con tract for the gas and electric fixtures in the High School was then taken up. There were two bids to be considered —those of L. Perelson and W. H. Brown Co. These firms have re considered tlieir original bids and the ones presented read, W. H. Brown Co., $2,450, and L. Perelson, $2,084 Mr. Brown, submitted a sample bracket of what his firm figured on, and promised the Board there would be no protests from labor unions be cause of the work installed by his company, as the fixtures would be made in Connecticut. As trouble of this sort was anticipated if t'he Perel- 5011 bid <was accepted, it was decided to award the contract to the Brown Company and thus avoid any protests that might arise. Trustee Dobbs was of the opinion that the Perelson firm could not furnish the fixtures for the amount figured on., Mr. Brown promised 'to furnish light for the en trance, hallways and assemblyroom of the High School for the graduation exercises, but would not agree to 'have the fixtures in position that were contracted for, as the time allowed for their manufacture was not suf ficient. At the annual meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association held Thursday evening, May 9th, Howard R. Ware, President, presid ing, reports were read covering each department, seven directors were elected for a term of three years and the general business and work of the Association was discussed. The election of directors resulted as follows; Messrs. George W. An drews, Lincoln G. Backus, Stephen C. Hunter, William W, King, Walter S. Sheldon, Howard R. Ware and Irving R. Todd, were elected direc tors for the three years to May ist, I9IO. A digest of fhe reports presented by the departments shows a satisfac tory condition: of the Association and very gratifying results for the past year, as well as several important ventures now in hand, especially in the Religious, Physical. Boat House ahd Fort Slocum departments. The report of the treasurer shows the entire cost of conducting the work and operating the Association Building and Boat House, including interest charges, insurance, etc., for the year ending April 31, 1907, was $9,131.40, of which amount $3,350.05 was received from membership fees and other sources of income, the bal ance being contributed by citizens and others interested in the work. In the current expense account all bills have been paid. Religious Work. The Religious Work Department reported thirty (30) Sunday afternoon meetings with an average attendance for the season of sixty-six (66). The plan followed and provided for an open meeting for both men and wo men on the first Sunday of each month, and meetings for men only, 011 the remaining Sundays, . A series of meetings was held at the Association Boat House during the summer of 1906. We are plan ning _ to conduct a series of eleven meetings at the Association Boat House at Hudson Park during the coming summer, beginning July 7th and closing September 15th. A Personal Workers’ Band has been organized and is increasing in attendance and interest. This band is at present composed of twenty- two young men who 'hold a meeting each week for prayer and personal help. The Bible work which was under taken last fall has proved to be a strong and valuable feature of the As sociation _ work. The department started with a membership of twenty- seven and increased steadily to no. In all, about 125 young men and older boys were identified with the work during the season. Over 90 per cent of the men in the senior gymnasium work attended the Bible Study Classes. These classes were conducted under the general lead ership of Theodore P. Day, and the classes were taught by Mr. Day, Charles A. Barwise, Rev. Benjamin T. Marshall and Mr. Berry, General Sec retary. Plans are already in hand for a much larger work in t'he Bible department next season. As a result of a suggestion made by this department at a meeting held during the Week of Prayer for Young Men in November, a general relig ious census of the city was decided upon and a committee of representa tives from the several churches have formulated a plan, and this census is now being made with over 100 vol unteer workers under direction of Mr. Bixby, who was secured through the Church Federation Society of New York. The expense of this canvass, amounting to $100, is borne by the four largest evangelical churches in fhe city. This census promises may good results both directly and in directly. Bible Conference. The Association has arranged to hold, with the co-operation of the several churches of the city, a general Bible Conference, to be conducted by the National Bible Institute of New York, the conference opening Sun day- afternoon, May 19th, and closing Friday evening, May 24th.

Shelton, President of the National Bible Institute; S. D. Gor don, author of “ Quiet Talks on Pow er, Prayer,\ etc., and Deleavan T. Pierson, managing editor of the \Mis sionary Review of the World.” Physical Department.

Patrolman Langbein sho-vved up especially well, as this was but the second time he faced the tar get.

It now offers a reward of $10, payable through Agent McKinley, to anyone securing the arrest and convic tion of any person or persons on this charge. This step hy the Society seems a proper one, and it is hoped will have the effect o f putting a stop to muc'h of the reckless shooting now in practice. Weyman Avenue School Robbed. Thieves broke into the Weyman Avenue School some time flifring Wednesday night, and made \(l hXult for valuables. Entrance was SCCUtcd by forcing a window. Several class.-! room clocks and a flag were the only articles taken, as it seems the thieves had no wish to be burdened with anything bulky. The burglary is thought to be the work of tramps. Bronx Park Bill Approved. The Agnew-Duell Bronx Park bill passed the Assembly on Wednesday last, having been amended to permit the naming of the commission pro vided for in the Act by the Governor instead of having the Legislature name the commissioners. This will necessitate sending the bill to the Senate for concurrence in the amend ment.
