One Chapter of the Winton llorough

The Sutiirduy before organization quo
wu nan to proceedings were begun and
the writ was lltade returnable on the
day of organl.utliin. providing nollce
of It hud been nerved on tllles. Sheriff
Clemens sent Warden Juy up to serve
the papers, hilt (liles was not to be

w hether he was nerved with the notice
Monday night, because the time wus
passed ut which It was made return
able Later, however, Hurgess Charles
Sheridan got out u writ of quo warranto

Mr. Clles implied to the court for un
alternative mandamus to compel him
to lake It and receipt for It. Yester
day was the time llxed for the return
of the writ, and Mr. Lawler did not
take the trouble to put In a defense or
make Ills appearunce. The court then
granted a writ to peremptory manda
mus lo hi in to tuke the money and to
pay nil the costs of the proceedings.

ANOTHER RUMEN - RIOT
Stones Throun anil Shots Fired at a
reckville Car.
LECTIREK ALOXE 'AS HOT
Was It stocked. Seoselosa by a Stono.
Three Women and Other Pasacif
gere Save Themselves by rail
ing on tha Car Moor.
Kuthven, the lecturer, and his body
guurd of two men Just after boarding
an Inward bound car in the North Knd
last night were stoned and tired at by a
crowd of several hundred men and
boys. 4 '
The others aboard the care were three
well-dressed ladies and their escort, a
Tribune reporter and another passen
ger. Kuthven alone was painfully in
jured. His scalp was badly cut and he
bled profusely. That the others were
not hurt, und perhaps murdered, was no
fault of the niotormun. who, after shut
ting; ott the electric current, jumped
from the platform nnd returned to his
post only alter ardent urglngs.
After the first fusilnde of stones ev
erybody on the car fell on the Moor for
safety, while the car passed through tne
gauntlet formed on each side of the
street by hundreds of men and boys,
from whom came either stones or curses.
Only two policemen were on the
scene and they were powerless to con
trol the crowd. The street Is very dark
In the vicinity of where the rioting n
crured nnd this prevented the otllceis
from detecting the stnne-thmweVs, who
have not yet been arrested.
Kuthven's lecture took 'dace In the
Christian church on the west side or
North Main avenue, above Providence
Square. It was a lecture for men only
and the building's seating capacity was
fully taxed by a throng of 400 or r0
men. No trouble occurred Inside the
church.
TWO RKVOLVEU SHOTS HEARD.
' While the lecture was In progress
two revolver shots were fired by either
one or two persons In the crowd, which
packed the sidewalks for a block on
each side of the street. The Mush of
the discharges showed that the shots
were tired In the nlr and not nt the
church. Who fired the revolvers, or the
object, was not learned by Patrolmen
Jollier and Hawkes the only police
men In the vicinity during and lifter
the lecture, although two other patrol
men and Lleutenunt of Police Sell
nian were present earlier In the eve
ning. Hefore the shots were fired and In
the midst of the lecture a shower of
stones was hurled at the side door of
the church. These disturbers, also,
eluded arrest. The two episodes nerved
to give those inside the church a pre
monition of trouble and excited the
crowd outside,
The lecture, if such a thing was pos
sible, was more bitter In its arraign
ment of the Catholic church and its
clergy than any of Kuthven's previous
efforts, it could not have been that
any greut number of Catholic sympa
thizers were In the audience or the
speaker's utt,erunces must have start
ed a riot In the edifice. When the lec
ture was ended, Kuthven, as lie has
ulw'uys done at the conclusion of his
talks, culled fur volunteers to escort
him into the city.
When the audience filed out of the
church the crowd outside was quiet und
orderly, for which state of affairs no
little credit is due to Patrolmen Johler
and Hawkes, who, In the midst of sev
eral hundred persons, kept those on the
sidewalk moving, and suppressed sev
eral utlempts made to start shouting
and Jeers. The street was very dark III
the vicinity of the church, and it was
only by the closest scrutiny thut a per
son could be recognized. So when
Kuthven, with J. M. Fast and S. M.
Withers, Jr., came down the steps, his
identity wus not ut once mude known.
KSCOKT FOR RITUVEN.
The Kuthven party, with Patrolman
lluwkes ut their left and Patrolinuii
Johler Jn the rear, was not discovered
until it hud reuched the narrow street
crossing a few rods south of the church
Hiid stood in the senil-dul kness waiting
for u eu.' Meanwhile the crowd tlilcl;
er.ed about Kuthven, his friends and
the policemen, and also became more
dense on the opposite side of the street.
'I lure were no Indications of violence
unless so greut a quiet among such a
large and contra-humored crowd could
portend suppressed excitement.
Kuthven had to v.nlt only about
three inlmr.es for' a Peckvllle cur In
charge of Conductor K. L. Keene and
Motormun O. Mast) imannl. Inside
were three middle-aged and well
dressed women and their escort, whose
Identity could not be learned, and P.
S. Keene, u brother of the conductor
nnd w ho was taking n ride for pleasure.
No remarks were made when Kuthven.
F.ust und Withers entered the car from
the rear and The Tribune reporter took
u position on the front platform. .
Motormun Miistrimamil had no soon
er set the car In motion than a yell was
given und a shower of stones, most of
them as lurge as a man's list came
crashing through the windows of the
cur. One of the largest stones struck
Kuthven behind his right ear, and with
the blood spurting from the wound he
fell senseless to the lloor. The others
In a promiscuous heap sought safety
on the lloor.
MOTORMAN LEFT THE CAR.
Then Motorman Mastrlmnnnl lost his
presence of mind ami shut off the cur
rent and Jumped from the platform.
Hy this time the scene was one of wild
disorder. At least two pistol shots
were tired, by whom or In what direc
tion is not known; the women screamed
and many in the crowd gave vent to
curses, hisses and groans. The stones
continued to rain against the side of
the car nnd through Its already shat
tered windows. The motorman was
coaxed and threatened to return to his
post and the car was again started.
Meanwhile East, who is employed In
the otlices of the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western company, nnd young
Withers, who Is a brother of W. II.
Withers, the paper man, had raised
Kuthven to a half kneeling position nnd
were fruitlessly attempting to stop the
How of blood from the wound on his
head.
For six or seven rods the passage of
the car was marked by volleys of
stones, ami during the slightly greater
distance that led to t:ie well-lighted
switch at Providence Square, there
were cries of "Kill the !" "Shoot
tho !" "Hang him!" etc.. etc
During the moment that the cor
stopped to permit the passage of a car
going In an opposite direction, a few
stones were thrown, hut only crashed
against the woodwork. In the block
below the square a handful r.f gravel
was thrown against the broken win
dows, and that was the end of the vio
lence. THE WOMEN ALIGHTED.
A block further down the women and
the man accompanying them alighted.
It was not until the Diamond Hats, near
the Base Hall park, was reached that
Kuthven's wound leased lo bleed. His
face, collar, shirt and coat was n mass
of blood. He was pale from loss of
blood, but gave no sign by w ord or man
ner that lie had been unnerved by the
exciting episode.
When Kuthven's boarding house at
the corner of Spruce street and Franklin
avenue was reuched he said good night
to euch of the remaining passengers
and three Traction company employes
who had hoarded the car at the power
house. East accompanied him Inside
his boarding place and Withers ran for
medical aid. Drs. Longstreet and
Pennypacker responded and sewed the
ugly cut In the lecturer's scalp. He
was not otherwise Injured.
. East was slightly cut un the back of
the neck by flying glass. Young With
ers hud been hit on lha chest by a stone.
but suffered no Injury. His stiff derby
hut saved him from what might have
been u serious wound on the head.
No arrests had been made up to an
early hour this morning, nor does their
seem to be any ciue'to the lndentity of
the ringleaders. The presence of only
two policemen during the riot was due,
so Lieutenant Spelhnan says, to the
fuct that the wo other patrolmen in
the precinct were on the West Market
street hill and he wus on duty among
the many groups at the square.
THEY FOUGHT ABOl'T IT.
After the excitement had subsided
Iwo men named McDonald and Morgan
engaged In a tight In front of the Uris
tol house. The fight was started by
their discussion of the riot. The police
thought McDonald the aggressor and
arrested him. Morgan, however, with
some friends soon appeared at the po
lice station and asked thut McDonald
lie released, consenting to be friends
with him.
After satisfying himself that the men
would be friendly. Lieutenant Spellman
gave McDonald his liberty.
SITRKMK (OUT DECISIONS.
Case of Councilman James J. liynn, of
Olyphnnt, Will Not Come Ip for o
Vcnr.
Two decisions in Lackawanna county
cases were yesterday handed down by
the Supreme court. One Is in reference
to the contested election of James J.
Flynn, councilman of the Third ward
of oly pliant. Edward J. Hurke was
Flyim's competitor nnd was defeated
on the face of the returns by two votes.
A conttst was instituted and on a re
count f the votes Judge Archbald al
lowed four votes to be conn led for
Hurke that the election officers set aside
because they were imperfectly marked.
The ndditioii of these four votes gave
Hurke u majority of two, and the con
test resulted In his favor.
It was necessary for the court to Is
sue a writ of alternative mandamus to
the council of Olyphant, and even then
they refused to seat Hurke. On- the
day the writ was made returnable, Hon.
C. P. O'.Mulley, representing Flynn,
came Into court with a certiorari from
the Supreme court. In other words
that was notice to the lower court that
the case whs appealed to the highest
tribunal and in the meanwhile all pro
ceedings here had to be stayed.
The mutter wus too lute to be argued
before the last sitting of the Supreme
court, and hud to go over until Feb.,
IShT. Hurke's attorneys took an appeal,
praying thut the argument be fixed for
some speclul time within a month or
two, for the reason that In is7 there
will be only a few weeks of the term
left unserved, and the chances are that
before the decision would be announced
the term und part of a new one would
be served. Flynn lias had the office
now over two years. The Supreme
court refused to hurry the case along
and It will not be argued before Feb
ruary next.
The other decision Is In the case of
Flynn against Jacobs. Jt is ordered
that the rule for damages be made
absolute und damages as provided in
the act of Muy 2.". 1874, together with
uttorney fees, costs, etc., be awarded.

Street Commissioner Kinsley Charges
'I hut the Portico Is u Nuisance.
Street Commissioner Kinsley yester
day hud Arthur Frothlughum held for
a hearing before Alderman Millar to
answer the charge of maintaining a
nuisance, in declining to tear down the
Arcade portico.
The street commissioner notified Mr.
Frothingham to meet him at Alderman
Millar's office ot 4.30 o'clock yesterday
ufternoon and at thut hour both were
on hand to argue their differences a
hi Hluckstufie. by agreement the
hearing wus postponed until April 15,
und in the meantime Mr. Frothinghum
is held In his recognizance.
Mr. Kinsley intends to remove the
portico himself, or us much of It us
protrudes over the ten-foot reservation.
He hud a deputation from the city en
gineer's department on the ground dur
ing the afternoon, giving lines to de
termine how much of the portico en
croaches on the sidewalk.
. Mr. Frothingham suys he will not
tear the portico down but that If It is
turn down he will make the clty.nbute
every other nuisance of the kind that
exists wilhin the municipal limits.
Another conference was hud with
Mayor Council yesterday morning by
Mr. Frothingham and his attorney, Mil
ton W, Lowry, ami nguln the mayor
suggested mandamus proceedings, but
Mr. Frothingham again decided not to
follow this course. The portico will
probably remain us it is until after
April 15.
NEW RIFLE. RANGE.
I'. .M. Spencer Mukesn Proposition to tho
Thirteenth Regiment.
Ground for n rllle runge has been of
fered to the Thirteenth regiment by
Frank M. Spencer nnd the matter will
be considered by a meeting of the regi
ment's bourd of officers next Monday
evening. The land in view Is near the
Spencer colliery. Mr. Silencer's idea is
to have the range used jointly by the
regiment and a title club, which In the
near future muy be organized among
non-nillltary marksmen. The plnn Is
approved by Lieutenant H. H. Cox, In
spector of rllle practice.
The Dickson range is fnst being ren
dered useless by the encroachment of
a culm bank of the Johnson (Jerniyn)
breaker und which nlrendy prevents
shooting at two of the targets. The
range w ill soon be rendered useless un
less the shooting points und targets
are shifted.
There Is another urgent reason fnr
locating the range nearer the central
portion of the city. Officers and pri
vates are constantly demurring against
the present long journey anil having
to take a half day off from business
whenever they visit the present range.
This objection in connection with the
proposition to maintain a new range
Jointly with a rllle club will, it Is be
lieved, cause Mr. Koenrer's proposition
to be received with favor.

and Mr. Bailey, by his appointment,
will pay a debt which he owes to the
editor of the Times for the services
which that journal rendered him during
the cumpaign. Patrolman Dominic
Bulund. another brother-in-law of Ed
itor Lynett, will be retained on the
force.
In selecting a chief for the lire depart
ment Mr. Bailey will pay on ante
electlon debt by the appointment of ex
Select Councilman O. P. Miller, of the
Second ward. This is about ns certain
as It can be except that the announce
ment be made over Mr. Bailey's sig
nature. Common Councilman P, J.
Ilickey, of the Nineteenth ward, is an
uctive applicant for this position but
many of his friends yesterday admitted
the houelessness of his candidacy und
freely admitted that it looked like Mil
ler. DETAILS OP MILLER DEAL.
It is said that Miller's appointment Is
urged by Select CouncUmen Wude Finn
and Flnley Koss und thut they, in
consideration therefor, will vote in se
lect council to confirm Mr. Bulley's
other uppolntments. A purt of this
deal is said to be the re-election of
Henry Ilutton as clerk of the common
council. Flnley Koss' son is also to be
appointed piitrolmun.
Fur the office of street commissioner
H is said thut Mr. Builey has selected
A. K. Dunning. Jr. If this be true it is
evidence thut Mr. Builey has at least
In one instance taken into considera
tion the eternal fitness of things. It Is
conceited by all that Mr. Dunning
would make an excellent street com
missioner and some of Mr. Bailey's
friends who are urging Ills appoint
ment say that it will strengthen his
administration more than any appoint
ment which he Is likely to inuke.
P. J. limine will be retained In the
city treasurer's office, and Edward Els
ele in the city controller's.
