JONES WANTSJN OPINION
Employs Counsel to Have the Act of
1893 Officially Passed Upon.
INCREASES CONSTAULES' FEES
County Commissioners Refuse to Recog
nize the Schedule It Contains lSecuusa
It Docs Not Apply to This County.
Case Stated to lie Framed.
Timothy Jones, constable of the Fifth
ward ef this city, ha retained Attor
neys Taylor & Lewis to ascertain for
him the legal status of the uct passed
by the legislature In 1893 Increasing the
fees of constables and aldermen. The
county commissioners of this county
refuse to recognize the scale of prices
for constable's services set forth In the
act and Mr. Jones will nut accept the
amounts the commissioners uie willing
to pay In accordance with the provi
sions of the act of 1868.
To have the matter passed upon In
proper form Lawyer Taylor waited on
County Solicitor Knapp a few days ago
and it was decided to present a case
stated to the court and request an
opinion on the subject.
In preparing a case stated the attor
neys for the contending parties agree
upon a statement of facts as the gist
of the matter at Issue, and the court
makes Judicial findings therefrom. Mr.
Taylor and Mr. Knapp will probably
meet this week to prepare the case
stated. The opinion of the court will
be awaited with much Interest by con
stables.
It Wus Special Legislation.
In 1868 an act was passed fixing the
fees of constables, aldermen and jus
tices of the peace In all counties except
Allegheny, Philadelphia, Berks, Dela
ware. Venango and Washington. This
came under the head of special or class
legislation, such as Is prohibited by the
new constitution which was adopted
some years later. It Is held that special
acts cannot be repealed In toto, but
must be repealed Itspecillc language,
In 1893 the legislature passed another
fee bill, Increasing the fees of con-
stubles, aldermen and Justices of tlu
peace. The difference In the constable's
schedule will be seen by the following
Old Bill New Bill

This law first ran counter. to the con
stitutional provision, which provides
that a man's salary or fees cannot be In
creased during his term of ofllee. Judge
Wurdell, of Delaware county, rendered
an opinion whloh states that constables
holding office a t the time the act became
a law were not entitled to the Increased
fees. Mr. Jones, however, Is not af-
fected by that provision, as he did not
enter on the duties of his office until
after the act became a law.
Position of the Commissioners.
The commissioners obtained legal ad
vice concerning the act and came to the
conclusion that It only applied to the
counties which were excepted In the
act of 1868 and they have therefore re
fused to pay the schedule of fees set
forth In It. Most of the commissioners
of the state have done likewise. Tlmo
thy Jones Is the only constable In the
county who has refused to accept the
fees provided for In the act of 1868.
Commissioner S. W. Roberts In
speaking about the matter said:
"We will be glad When this matter Is
Judicially settled. We believe that the
act of 1893 does not apply to us and we
would not be doing our duty to the tax
payers of the county If we did not re
fuse to recognize Its provisions."
I1ANLON MADE A MISTAKE.
He Talked Too Much and Was Arrested
for It.
John Hanlon, proprietor of the OHy
Boarding house on Lackawanna avenue,
yesterday charged Patrolman Flaherty
with attempted blackmail, whereupon
Hanlon was arrested and placed In the
central station house. He was charged
with "charging the officer wtth black
mall" and "keeping a disorderly house,
In police court Alderman Fuller post
poned the cae until 9 o'olock this morn
lug.
In front of Hanlon's boarding house
yesterday morning a group of loungers
Insulted a number of women who were
on their way to church. Several com
plaints led to the arrest of three of the
gentry and a few moments later a WO'
man who passed the place was mos
flagrantly accosted. She reported the
occurrence to Patrolman Flaherty, Who
arrested two more of the loungers.
At 10 o'clock Hoinlon approached 'the
officer on Lackawanna avenue, and
whipping a pencil and piece of paper
from his pocket proceeded to make
memorandum of the officer's number,
at the same time exclaiming, "I'll fix
you for blackmailing." Hanlon was In
formed that he would foe given all the
assistance necessary and was placed In
arrest.
RUNAWAY ON PENN AVENCE.
Damage Don by Casey Brothers' Team
; Saturday Night.
Considerable excitement and a little
damage was caused early Saturday
evening oh Peon avenue by a runaway
team belonging to Casey Bros., th
liquor dealers. The team ran down the
avenue and In front of Wormser's meat
market collided with a delivery wagon
which was thrown across the sidewalk
and Into a showcase, which was
wrecked and Its contents, belonging to
Kleberg's china store, scattered.
The team was caught further down
the avenue. Neither the horses nor
wagon were Injured, but Mr. Worm
ser's delivery wagon was left sadly In
need of repair.
BOY ITT TO PIECES.
Benjamin Mahonoy's Terrible Death on
the Frio und Wyoming Vulllcy Kail
road.
Saturday afternoon Benjamin Maho-
ney, 12-year-old son of Mrs. John Ma-
honey, of Crown avenue and Cherry
street, was killed on the Erie and Wy
oming Valley railroad tracks, by being
cut In two by a train of coal cars on
which he was riding. The boy worked
as a slate picker In the Pine Brook
breaker and after being through work
Saturday, he rode on the small cars as
far as the cinder dump. There he
Jumped off and walked along the Erie
tracks. A companion was with him
and he suggested that they Jump on a
coal train which was approaching.
Mahoney got on and rode as far as
Mooslc street, where he tried to get off,
fell and was ground up beneath the
wheels of the train. The remains were
horribly mutilated and scattered along
the track. His mother is a widow and
he was her main support. Coroner
Kelly empaneled a Jury and held a pre
liminary examlnatinn, but adjourned
the Inquest until Wednesday evening at
the court house. The funeral will take
place this afternoon at 2 o clock. In
terment will be made In Hyde Park
cemetery.
MALANEY IS ENJOINED.
Mears Gets Out un Injunction Aguinstt
the Contractor of Ills Building,
Attorney J. Alton Davis, acting for
ihn A. Mears, began Injunction pro
ceedings in court Saturday to restrain
W. A. Malaney from using the lots at
the corner of Washington avenue and
Spruce street for storage purposes. The
defendant Is charged with unduly
blocking up the premises of the plain
tiff with structural material.
On June 19 Mr. Mears entered Into
a contract with the Pottsvllle Steel and
Iron company for material to be used
In the construction of the new ten Btory
Mears building. Malaney was sent on
by the company to put up the building
and he Is also supervising the construc
tion of the new Hotel Jermyn. Mr.
Mears asserts that the contract he made
with the Pottsvllle company did not
give it the right to store material on
the site, and therafvre the Injunction Is
prayed for.
C. O. Roland and John T. Richards
signed the $1,000 bond accompanying
the petition. Judge Edwards granted
a preliminary Injunction and made It
returnable next Thursday at 9 a. m.
CONTEST IS SETTLED.
Papers In the Case of Thomas D. Davles
Against Charles II. Schadt Withdrawn
by Permission.
The contest between Thomas D,
Davles and Charles Schadt for the of
fice of county treasurer has been set
tled. On motion of Attorneys Taylor
& Lewis on Saturday Judge Edwards
allowed the papers In the contest to be
filed and the case will proceed no fur
ther.
Ever since a contest was spoken of
mutual friends of Mr. Schadt and Mr,
Davles have been endeavoring to affect
a compromise, and they have at length
been successful.
Mr. Davles decided that It would be
better for him to sustain pecuniary loss
than to undergo the worry that would
follow a contest. He was also opposed
to having the county mulcted for the
costs that would follow the contest,

HERE IS A HEARING TOMORROW
Batcman Committed to the County Jail
Pending tho Hearing at the Request of
His Attorney l.uce Enters Bail
In Sum of $2,000.
Sensational developments followed
the arrest Saturday afternoon of John
Luce and W. J. Bateman, who arc
charged with sotting fire Oct. 22 to the
building at Penn Avenue and Mulberry
street owned by Howley Bros., and oc
cupied by that firm and the Scranton
Knitting company. Mr. Luce was the
manager and Mr. Bateman the foreman
of the knitting company. They were
tvesited upon a warrant Issued by Al
derman Fuller at the Instigation of the
chief of police.
Since the night of the flrewhlch was
quenched before serious dumage was
one. Detectives McSweeney and Bar
ring had been working on the case un-
er Innti uotlong of the Scranton Board
of Fire Underwriters. Chief Feiber, of
the fire department, and the chief of
police were aUo engaged In an Invest!
gatlon aceordlngto a resolution of coun
cils.
At 3 o'clock Saturday, the hour set
for the hearing, Mr. Luco was In Alder
man Fuller's office with his counsel,
Major Everett Warren, M. J. Wilson
and George S. Horn. At that hour Mr
Bateman had not appeared and the
healing was postponed until 2 o'clock
tomorrow, Mr. Luce being placed under
2,000 bail, which was furnished by his
father, R. W. Luce.
Bateman Went tojuil.
An unexpeoted and sensational fea
ture of the case happened after the post
ponement, when Mr. Bateman entered
the office with his attorney, John F.
Scragg. The latter Insisted that his
client be committed to Jail to await to
morrow's hearing and refused to allow
him to enter ball. Mr. Scragg would not
be responsible for his client's appear
auce unless Buteman was committed
and even refused Mr. Wilson's, one of
Mr. Luce's attorneys, offer to become
Mr. Ilateman's bondsman; he also took
pains to prevent any of Mr. Luce's
friends or counsel conversing with Mr
Bateman.
Mr. Scragg with his client drove In a
cab to the Jail, where Imperative In
structions were given that no person
should be allowed to see the prisoner.
The reason for Mr. Soragg's peculiar
procedure appears In the fact that the
Luce attorney's hftve In their posses
sion an affidavit signed by Bateman. It
s said that the contents of the paper
are In the nature of an alibi for Luce,
Mr. Scragg thinks he should conduct
an Independent defer me for his client,
who came to Scranton only six weeks
previous to the fire.
Statements .Made After Fire.
Following the fire sworn statements
were made by Luce and Bateman to the
police department. They claimed to
have left the building at 8 o'clock dur-
ng the evening of Oct. 22.
Eight witnesses, It Is sta ted, will testi
fy that the defendants were In the
building as late as S.15 o'clock.
The contest for a diamond ring between
Superintendent Beetem and John Ora
ham, of Wllkes-Barre, for the benellt of
the Church of the Hucred Henri, of Plains,
is moving merrily on, and much Intercs
Is manifested in the struggle.
