INJUNCTION IS DISSOLVED.
Vt inton School llonrd Muddle Con
tinue n Muddle, However.
The preliminary Injunction hereto
fore granted to James Bell against the
school board of Wlnton borough was
dissolved yesterday by Judge Archbald.
Mr. Hell sought to restrain the school
board from erecting a new school house
in the district for the reason that they
were not properly elected nor organized
as a lionrd, and that the proposed new
structure was not necessary. The ac
tion is an outgrowth of two school
lniards in Wlnton borough, both claim
ing they have been duly elected and
organized.
After the preliminary Injunction was
grunted in the above case writ of quo
warante was directed ugainst the other
board, of which William Judge Is pres
ident, John L. llarrett. secretary, and
John F. Donnelly, treasurer, to show
by what authority they exercised the
duties of the olllces they hold, and It Is
now pending In court. The writ was
granted on a petition filed by the mem
bers of the board, of which James P.
McAndrews is president.
In his opinion, Judge Archbald does
not touch the matter of the legal stand
ing of the boards.

FRANKLIN COMPANY
IS INVESTIGATED
And Found to Be in a Very Chaotic
Condition,
THE CHARGES AGAINST SPR0ATS
Witnesses Heard for Both Side.
Foremnu Beavers Said There Were
'o Factions ia the Company, but
the Committee Is Led to Believe
That the Foreman Is Not a Keen
Observer.
Mayor Bailey and the members of the
Joint fire department committees of
councils conducted the Investigation
into the Franklin Engine? company's
troubles last night In the select coun
cil chamber. There was a large attend
ance of West Siders, showing that no
small amount of Interest Is taken in
the affair across the river. The Investi
gation was probably the most thorough
that a councllmanlc committee ever
made. At first it was attempted to
conduct the proceedings with some re
gard for order and regularity, but this
was given up as a hopeless task before
the hearing had gone very far.
Then everybody and anybody was
given full privilege to tell all they knew,
or had heard, concerning the company
and Its troubles, whether or not It per
tained to the matter under investigation
and as a consequence the committee got
a full Insight into the company's chaotic
history since its troubles first began.
Mr. Finn thought to do away with an
investigation and bring about an amic
able adjustment of the troubles by pro
posing that a committee of live West
Side business men select thirty men for
membership In the company; that the
company select ten men from this num
ber und admit them to full membership,
nnd that the augmented company
choose a permanent man.
Foreman James L. Reavers would not
approve of any such proposition on the
grounds that all organizations have a
right to select their own members, and
It would lie unfair to the Franklins to
have outsiders name their members.
The company, he said, was not In favor
of having ten men forced upon them.
Mr. Finn argued that in view of the
fact that the people of the West Side
were kicking ubout the present condi
tion of affairs in the company and par
ticularly its limited membership, that
something ought to be done to put It on
a better footing.
ARE NO FACTIONS.
Foreman Beavers said that most of
the trouble was all newspaper talk.
The company had their little differ
ences but there were no factions. He
reiterated that there were no factions.
To questions by Mr. Finn, Foreman
Heavers admitted, that one of the sev
enteen members of the company lived
In (Jreen Ridge and two others in other
places than Hyde Park.
Proof of Foreman Heaver's conten
tion thut there were no two factions In
the company then began to pour in.
John H. Reynolds one of the "younger
members," when asked to give ills
opinion of Mr. Finn's proposition said
he favored it. Members had been
blackballed simply because thpy were
young men. "That's false," broke In
Foreman Reavers.
"Is It?" said Mr. Reynolds,, "Just
rend that letter," and he handed ui a
letter to Secretary Beamish. The let
ter was from T. H. Allen, one of the
"older members." It stated that the
writer was one of the committee to
investigate the character of three can
didates who had been proposed by Mr.
Reynolds. He could find nothing
against them but yet felt that they
would be blackballed and lequcsted Mr.
Reynolds to withdraw their names.
The proposition of Mr. Finn was then
voted on and lost, Messrs. Fellows,
Burns, Frable, Simon Thomas and
Noone voting against it, and Messrs.
Finn and Molr for It..
tn motion of Mr. Frable the Inves
tigation was then proceeded with.
Mayor Bailey directed that the charges
against Perniunent Man Sproats be
read. They were contained in the fol
lowing letter:
Scran Ion, Aug. 8, 1890.
To the Honorable Janes O. Palley.
Dear Sir: I herein charge William
Sproats, permanent man at the Franklin
Engine house with disobeying my orders
and disconnecting Ills stall doors from the
trip and leaving the house without my
permission on July 21. Ho left his har
ness on the floor and went away for over
an hour and a quarter and he has the
front doors and frames broken up througli
his carelessness backing in the house,
therefore I would most respectfully re
quest that this man be removed from this
house, as we can have no good service as
long as he is In charge of the team.
Yours respectfully,
James L. Heavers, Foreman.
GALLEY THREE C
OUT WITHOUT LEAVE.
Foreman Beavers was sworn to sub
stantiate the charges. He said they
were all true und more too. He met
Sproats over on the South Side one
week ago Saturday night. He was out
without permission. Councilman Noon
here volunteered the information that
Sproats went with him to see Chief
Hiekey about the charges.
John Reese and J. S. Evans, two
citizens who hapiiened to drop In at the
engine house, the morning the harness
was on the floor, were sworn and testi
fied to that fact. In answer to ques
tions by Mr. Noone both these witnesses
said they knew nothing further than
this against Sproats.
John R. Kime, the company's other
permanent man, and secretary of the
organization, with a most religious re
gard for day and date, next told all he
knew of the trouble. There were Inter
vals of ten days, he said, when the
steamer horses would never be exer
cised. The damaging of the doors was
due to Sproats' carelessness and Incom
petency. He was In the habit of whip
ping the team and one day backed them
Into the stall doors. Sproats discon
nected the trip In order that he would
not have to get up out of bed nt night
except when a West Side alarm was
sounded. Otherwise his team would
be released each time the Indicator
rang and he would have to come down
stairs and put them back. He, Kime,
never disconnected the trip on the hose
carriage stall, but always came down
and put back his horse.
Here Mr. Burns asked Foreman Beav
ers if he had ever reported these mat
ters to the chief before the present
trouble broke out. He answered that
he bad not that it would have done no
good.
Mr. Noone asked the witness as to
the various times Sproats had been ab
sent from the engine house. When he
named the different occasions, two or
three In number, Mr. Noone remarked:
"Wasn't he away a number of days
hauling ashes? I don't see that men
tioned in the charges." '
Foreman Beavers volunteered to ans
wer this question himself, bproats did
spend a little time with the company's
team hauling ashes from the Oxford to
do a little filling about his (Beaver's)
house. Permission for the use of the
team was, however, secured from the
chief, it being thought this would be
good exercise for the horses.
This part of the proceedings was
punctured with laughter, much to the
discomfiture of Foreman Beavers.
Kime then went on to relate how
Sproats was sometimes late In getting
to fires because of his not being around
the house when the alarm was sounded.
This brought on a general discussion,
which developed the fact that at the
Are at A. B. Eynon'a house. Just across
the road from the engine house, neither
the engineer nor fireman of the com
pany were present, and the engineer of
the Nay Augs had to be called to run
the engine. The engine was not put
Into actual use because it was found
after she had been fired, that there was
no water In the boiler, which latter was
blnmable to the permanent men.
It might be of Interest to note here
that A. II. Eynon's house was, on the
day In question, almost destroyed, al
though the Are broke out In the middle
of the day and tha house Is Just across
the street from the Franklin quarters.
WARN KB TOOK IT OUT.
Assistant Chief F. W. Warnke said he
took the engine out two out of every
three times. The" fireman and engineer
worked nt such a distance from the en
gine house that the driver would have
to wait twenty or twenty-five minutes
for them if he was not around to take
their place.
Sproats, the accused, was then put on
the stand. He admitted that the trip
had been disconnected at night, but
said It was by orders of the chief. The
company got u new team about two
months ago and until such time as they
were broken In It was not thought ad
visable to let them be released at night
when no one was nt hand to see that
they got Into their places. As to tho
harness being on the floor he explained
that one of the new horses became, a
little flighty and knocked It down.' 'lie
tried to put it back in place, but could
not do so without assistance. He wont
down to his buntdinff house and got
Bert Schenk, the barber, to come up
to the engine house and help him re
arrange the harness on the drop. Kime,
the other permanent man, was there
at tho time, and he would not ask
him for assistance. He and Kime are
not on speaking terms.
To a question by Mr. Fellows he ad
mitted that he played cards with young
men in the company's quarters, but
denied that any boys took part In the
game. The damage to the doors he
explained resulted from the narrow
ness of the driveway. It being almost
an Impossibility to back the engine In
without striking the door-Jambs.
Kime asked Sproats at this Juncture
where he was on last election day
when the alarm came In nt 9 o'clock In
the mornlfg. He replied that he was
on Main avenue Just one block away.
Mayor Bailey tried to get the witness
to say that he was at the polls but was
dlsupppolnted.
Bert Schenk then told of his connec
tion with tho harness Incident and
both sides announced that they had
no more evidence to offer.
One of the , committtee suggested
that John 11. Repnolds be asked to tell
what he knew about the charges. Mr.
Reynolds accepted the invitation with
alacrity and in a straightforward,
well connected manner gave a resume
of the company's troubles. There
have been two factions in the company
for years, he said. The old members
feared that If they allowed young men
to Join they would gain control of the
company and weed out the old mem
bers. THERE WAS KICKING.
The papers and hoard of trade were
kicking about the limited membership
of the company and they took htm and
Fred Warnke In. They said they In
tended to build up the company and
he proposed three new members, Will
Wrlgley, George Oberdorfer and W.
J. Neave. Then he got tho letter warn
ing him to withdraw them or they
would be blackballed. Then a crisis
came. Snyder was permanent man
but before the mayor was notified tho
company reconsidered its action and
Davis was appointed. Kime and Stein
back were the next permanent men.
When an attempt was made to select a
successor to Steinback there was a
split. Mayor Connell was disgusted at
tho company and one day that Dr.
Paine nnd Al. Godshall were ut his
office, he asked them to suggest anme
good man fop the position. Sproats
was recommended- and appointed.
While the two gentlemen In question
were casting about for somebody that
they would recommend, the company
called a special meeting and named
Frank Hutchinson for the position.
Mr. Reynolds, In answer to a ques
tion by Mr. Kime, denied that he had
ever said thnt the only reason he ever
went to the Franklin meetings was "to
raise h 1."
"Well, you are the cuse of all the
trouble," said Kime. Reynolds only
laughed.
Reynolds and Beavers got Into a dis
cussion about using the company's team
for moving, hauling ashes and tho like,
and had to be called to order by Mayor
Bailey.
A petition was received from eighty
residents of the West Side asking that
the Franklin company be investigated
and disbanded. One Investigation a
night was thought quite sufficient so
the petition was referred for further
consideration, and the committee ad
journed with a suspicion that Fore
man Reavers had erred slightly In his
opening statement that there were no
factions In the Franklin Engine com
pany. The committee will meet again at the
call of the chair.

They were only slightly damaged by water, and one would scarcely notice the difference.
Others, and some of the Carpets stored there, were somewhat smoked and will be sold at

Taken Before Mayor UuilerHe
Waived a Hearing and Was Held
I'nder Bait.
Charged with enticing a 17-year-old
girl from her home in Philadelphia to
in 13 city for immoral purposes. Emmet
A. Bishop, 50 years old, has fallen into
the clutches of the associated charities
and police of this city nnd will have to
answer tho serious charge In court.
Bishop has been mixed up In more
than one foul case coming from tho
evil resorts on lower Lackawanna ave
nue and Is a well-known police court
character.
About a week ago he applied at the
employment agency of Mrs. Hunter on
South Tenth street, Philadelphia, for
a young girl to act as his housekeeper.
Among Mrs, Hunter's applicants for
positions was Annie Elnig, 17 years
old, one of a poor German's eight
children. Bishop saw the girl, said
she would suit him and went with
her to her home to interview her pa
rents. To them he described himself
aa a well-to-do hotel man living a
short distance outside of Philadelphia.
He readily Becured the parents' consent
for the girl to accompany him and made
no objections to their proposal that a
younger sister, Helen, 10 years of age,
also make her home with him.
Bishop brought the two girls to Scran
ton. He had told them en route that
he owned the lurgest brick building In
the city and was rich, but the "home"
ho brought them to wtis an ordinarily
furnished suite of rooms on Cedar ave
nue near Hickory street. There on
Tuesday night he made Improper pro
posals to the older girl, Annie, She re
pelled him and yesterday morning
sought the protection of the Sisters of
St. Mary's school.
Through Father Christ the case was
reported to Mrs. Duggan, the associat
ed charities agent, and at 11 o'clock
she took the girls In a carriage from
Father Christ's residence to Mayor
Bailey's office whore a warrant was is
sued for Bishop's arrest. He was ar
rested an hour later by Patrolman Moir
and locked in a cell at police head
quarters. Ho denied the charge, claiming to
have had an understanding before
leaving Philadelphia that he was to
marry Annie If he so desired. The girl
Indignantly repudiated his statement
and related her story to Mayor Bailey.
Bishop, through his attorney, John T.
Martin, waived a hearing when ar
raigned before the mayor at 2.30 o'clock
and wus held in $1,000 bail for court
