THE SCRANTON CASH STORE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Shape I R gRTON) LA BL KNIFE USED BY PRISONER Concluded from 1'ato 1.) to, Is not dangerous, but came within a hair's Itrendlh of uelnir fntnl. The knife with which tho cutting wns done Is of tho hunting variety, having the nppcarnnce of n dagger when open- .cd. The blade 19 Hi Inches long by throe-fourths of nn Inch wide of even dimensions Kb wlioln length, Its point being made by a diagonal line from back to edge. It fastens with n spring whi'ii opened and has a small ctoh--bar nt the Intersection of the handle and blade. After the wounded omeer had been conveyed to the hospital, his fellows of tho West Side precinct, under Lleutcn nnt Williams, stnrted In search of the Felckers. The father and son were overtaken and lodged In the station house. The stop-son could not be found, The story of tho assault ns told above Is gathered from the statements of Ho. telkecper lllrd, bis wife, Mr. Saul and tho admissions of tho prisoners. The Fclckcri wero so besotted, with drink that they did not rcnllzo their situa tion and tnlked more of the "outrage" In locking them up for doing nothing than they did of the stabbing affrny. Hchaunamann had sobered up somc what by reason of his bleeding and talked quite rationally, although he continually complained that bo was not furnished with a doctor to dress the cut on his head. With the aid of nn Interpreter a Tri bune reporter asked him what caused him to stab tho olllcor. He nnswered, as stated above: "I was foolish. He hit me Jlrst, and I stabbed him." DEPOSITION TAKEN. At tho suggestion of Chief Itobllng, after an Interview with the hospital physicians, Lieutenant Williams sum moned Alderman Kellow, of tho Four teenth ward, to tnke the wounded offi cer's depositions. As It was painful for htm to breath, let nlono talk, ques tions were framed so that he would only have to nnswer yes or no. When the alderman had written out the depo sitions he read them over and Thomas swore to them. His story started out with the decla ration that he felt himself In danger of death, this condition being requlslted to make It a death-bed statement, the only kind of statement made In the absence of a defendant, that Is admls sable at a murder trial. Then be went on to pay that he was cnlled In to quell a 'disturbance In IJIrd's plare. He found two or three men attacking the proprietor and among the lighters pushed them apart. Then tho men who had been nssaultlng Plrd turned on him. One who answer ed Schatmamann's description, struck him and he swung his club to keep him off. Sch'aunarnnnn rushed In un mindful of the club und lecelved a blow on the head which .staggered him. He renewed the assault In an in; taut and closed In on the officer. While locked together the ollirer felt nlmself btlng stabbed In the body. He did not feel the othT wounds and did not know that he had been cut more than once until he reached the station house. He thought the wound was only slight and dirt not feci the effects of It until after ho left the saloon with his prisoner. Ho did not see tho knife at all. There was no other person mar when he felt himself being stabbed. No one seems to know Just when Schaunamann drew and opened the knife. Proprietor lllrd says that he went Into the toilet room at the break ing out of tho trouble between Feick ers and the supposition Is that when he came out he had the knife unclasped and hidden In his sleeve or pocket. Another smaller knife wns found In his trousers pocket. When asked why he carried two knlvcfl Schaunamann replied that tho large one was used by him In his fishing expeditions. IS A YOUNG MAN. .Schaunamann Is nbout twenty-eight years of age, five feet, eight inches tall, of slight build and light complex loned. He has been In this country only a few years and does not under stand English. He Is a laborer at the Capouse colliery. Patrolman Thomas has been on the force ten years, having been appointed In April, 1888, by Mayor Ripple. He is a very courageous and conservative of ficer and a man of exe-jr.plnry habits. He is popular among his associates and highly esteemed on the West Side, which Is his home and where he has done most of his plce duty. He Is forty-five years of age and is married. His home Is nt C03 North Bromley ave nue. At 2 o'clock this morning tho report from tho hospital was that ho was renting easily and slightly improved. CHARGED WITH PERJURY. Throo t'oiistulilrs Arrested nnd Ar raigned Holoro Alderman Wright. The arrest yesterday of three con stables charged with perjury Is another chapter In the prosecutions by C. W. Traver, agent for tho Itetnll Liquor Dealers' association. On information made by Traver before Alderman Wright, Joseph Woelkers, of tho Elev enth ward: J. J. Emmet, of Carbon dale, and John Foley, of Olyphant, each a constable, were arrested. The specific charge 'In each case Is the same. Traver makes affidavit that each committed wilful and corrupt per jury In swearing under oath adminis tered by the clerk of the courts that he knew of no unlicensed liquor seTUng place In his ward, when he knew to the contrary nnd sworo falsely for a cor rupt purpose. That Is the HUbstance of the Information. Each constable entered ball for a hearing on Monday. Traver declares In no uncertain terms that he proposes to push the three cases to a conclusion. He says they are, In a way, test cases and are only three of many to follow. All LIS TO COM PET 12. 1'iKurci Showing Amoricn's Supre macy In Iron nnd Steel Production. Francis Wayland Glen In the Sun. The returns given below Indicate clearly the development of the Iron In dustry In Canada, Great llrltaln and tho United States for the past twenty years, and tho ability nt the present time of tho United States to compete upon equal terms with ureat Urltuln In outsldo markets. In 1S77 Canada produced 13,000 net tons of pig Iron, Great llrltaln, 7,401,701 tons, and the United States, 2.3H.5S5 tons. In 1895 Canada produced 31,092 tons, Great Hrltaln 8,027,874 tons, and tho United Stntea 10,679,805 tons. From 18S2 to 18S0 the average valua of tho annual Imports of Iron and steel and manufactures thereof Into Canada va $15,030,240. of this amount Great Britain supplied B8H per cent., the United States 39',4 per cent., all other countries 2 per cent. From 1889 to 1893 the value of the average Imports was $14,194,543, of which Great llrltaln supplied CG per cent, tho United States 39'.4 per cent., and all other countries V4 per cent. For tho year 1890 Great llrltaln eup pllrd S0V2 per cent., the United States 69 per cent., and all other countries fVa per cent. It will be observed that In 1S9C the United Stntes supplied a larger percentage than Great Britain did In 18S2. Hallway freights from tho United States to tho' chief commercial centres of Canada will nveragu qulto as much as ocenn freights from Liver pool or Glasgow to Canada. There Is not any reason why, If wo hnd direct and regular communication with South American ports, wo should not Becuro ns large a percentage of tho Iron, steel nnd hardwnro trade of South American countries as we have of that of Canada, With the Nicaragua cnnnl completed, wo can secure tho lion's share in countries bordering upon the Pacific Ocean. The profit to the country upon fiO per cent, of the Iron nnd steel nnd manu factured thereof consumed In countries located upon the Pacific will pay .1 per cent. Interest upon tho cost of tho cnnnl when completed, and In fifty years refund the principal In addition. WHO IS M'NAMARA? There Is Something of a Mystery About the Man Who Committed Suicide at Newark, N. J. No little mystery and speculation sur rounds the news received here yester day of the suicide of "John F. Mo Namnra" In the Palace hotel at New ark, N. J. The following telegram ex plains Itself: Newark, N. J March 23, 1S33. Chief of I'ollco. Scranton, l'a.: John l' McN'amora, ago 30, committed sulcldo at I'alaco hotel, this city. Said to have uncle, John Kllcullcn, living on Washington avenue, near steel mill, your city; also has uncle, I'htllp Coyne, 1'enn and Lackawanna avenues. Notify thum and advlso Henry Hopper, Chief or Police. The first obstacle encountered by the police In notifying the persons men tioned as relatives was that Mr. Coyne, who Is the proprietor of the Coyne House, disclaimed any relationship. The police found that John Kllcullen, the South Washington avenue grocer, was a brother-in-law nnd not an uncle of McNnmara, who had called on his sister, Mrs. Kllcullen, ns recently ns Tuesdny, on which night tho suicide Is supposed to have occurred. Matters were further complicated yesterday after the publication of the story In tho Scranton evening papers by tho appearance of John P. McNa mara, Mrs. Kllcullen's brother. He called in person on his sister to assure her he was alive In the flesh, and went to Olyphnnt to notify his parents there that he was very much alive. Mr. and Mrs, Kllcullen are at a loss to know who the suicide Is. McNn mara nppcared on tho scene too late yesterday and took too abrupt a de parture for Olyphant after the publi cation of the story to throw any light on tho matter. The conclusion of tho police and of theotherpnrtles Interested Is that someone possessed of papers or letters belonging to McNnmara, or who had been masquerading as the latter, has been Identified by tho Newark au thorities as the man alive and here fn Scranton.

VEIN OF COAL IS CLOSE TO SURFACE Land Owners Ask (or an Injunction (o Prevent Mining. TUB REASON FOR THEIR ACTION Thar 8ny tho Itomovnl ol the Coal Will Irreparably Injuro the Land. Dolcintlnnts Clnlm That Thor llnvo the Itlght to Minn tho Conl Under Ilia Tarnm of n I,oiioTrrnisierrod to Tli em by Dr. Clininbetlnln--Cno Is One of Croat Interest Ilcrcnbouts. An application for nn Injunction was made yesterday by Wlllnrd Parker and Daniel M. Stlnson, executors under tho last will and testamont of Wlllnrd Parker, deceased: Harriet F. Throop, Theodore O. Wolf and Everett Warren, executors under tho last will nnd tes tament of 11. II. Throop, deceased; M. J. Murray, John Carney nnd Thomas Hrown nenlnst Patrick Collins, Miles McDonald. Patrick Ulewltt, Hugh ) Itrennan und Michael Grimes to re strain the latter, their agents, servants or employes from nny further nets whatever upon tho tract of land known ns tho "Sherwood Farm" In Dunmore borough. A preliminary Injunction was granted by Judge II. M. lEdwnrds nnd mado returnable Monday, March 28, at 9 a. m. The attorneys for tho plain tiff are M. K. McDonald nnd Wlllard, Warren & Knnpp. In the petition nBklng for tho In junction It Is set forth that Wlllnrd Parker and B. II. Throop In their life tlmo owned 160 acres of land In Dun more borough, known as the "Sh'erwood Farm." On Sept. 1, 1S92, .the executors of Wlllard Pr.rker and H. II. Throop leased the coal under the land to M. J. Murray, A. J. Murray, John Carney nnd Thomas Brown. Tho lease gave them the coal under the ground and a certain portion of tho surface necessary to enable them to carry on their min ing operations, but the balance Is still owned by the estates cf Wlllard Parker and B. II. Thrcop. except as to build ing lots sold on the plot. THE SURFACE VEIN. Underlying the tract Is what Is known as tho "Surface Vein" which Is only sixteen feet below tho surface and tho taking of the coal from this vein would greatly lnlure the land and make It undesirable. On Monday the defendants began mining coal from this surface vein. They were notified to cease such opera tions, but have persisted In mining tho coal from th'is lease, claiming they have the right to do so under tho terms of a lease they held. It Is contended by tho rlnlntlfl's that the mining of coal from this Burfnce vein will work groat and Irreparable Injury to the land they own and they ask that tho court perma nently restrain the defendants from carrying on Its mining operations In that vein. The defendants claim the right to mine tho coal from the surface vein under the provision of an old lease which they say was given by Dr. B. II. Throop to Dr. Chnmberlaln and by the latter arslgned to them. It will bo disputed t that such a lease can have nny binding effect after the lape of bo many years, during which nothing has been dono In the way of mining coal under Its provisions. One important phase of the case Is that with reference to the Injury that will bo done to the surface and the ac tion of the court with reference to this will bo watched with some Interest by coal men and persons whose properties are undermined, IF IT SHOULD TURN ON THIS. .'f the case turns solely on the ques tion of the Injury that, will be dono to the surface by taking coal from a vein such a short distance below It, the court will have to say whether or not that Is apt to work such Injury to tho surface as .to make It necessary to permanently enjoin tho defendants from removing the coal. One of the defendents Is ex-Mine In spector Patrick Ulewltt and another Is ex-Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimes. Nineteenth district sewer. Urdlnanco Is Now Awaiting tho Sig nature of tho fllnyor.
