AN OFFICER ASSAULTED.
Deputy Constnble Jacob Ellman
Roughly Handled by Friends of
John Epps, Colored, Whom
He Had in Custody.
A prisoner being come.ved to the
county Jail last night, assisted by a
number of his friends, escaped finm
the custody of Deputy Constable Ja
cob Ellman after making a murderous
assault upon the latter and up to the
time of going to press had not be re
taken The prisoner was a large, powerfully-built
colored man, John Epps by
name, and was ai rested jesterday
about 7 o'clock on a warrant sworn
out by Annie Rosencrantz,' charging
him with aggravated assault und bat
tel y He was bi ought before Alder
man John P. Kelly, of tho Eighteenth
waul, nnd was committed to the coun
t Jail In default of JG00 ball.
He was handcuffered by Constablo
Ellman who left the alderman's office
with him and started to walk to the
county Jail A party of Epp's colored
friends who, the constable savs, num
bered at lenst ten, followed the two
at a distance When tho constablo
and his charge reached that portion
of Bridge street Just underneath the
ralhoad bridge the friends of Epps
closed In on tho constable and befoie
ho was aware of their Intention one
of them dealt him a terrific blow on
tho eje with some sort of a weapon,
knocking him down.
Epps took advantage of the con
stable's plight nnd started off hand
cuffed, ns ho was, In tho direction of
South Scranton. Ellman sprang to
his feet and dealt tho man who had
struck him a blow over the head with
his club, splitting tho latter Into two
pieces.
Another of tho gang then plunged
a knife Into his arm nnd made an at
tempt to stab him In the neck ulso,
the weapon glancing off and only In
flicting a slight Mesh wound. Ell
man's cries had attracted a crowd and
the men all scampered away In the
direction taken by Epps
' Ellman savs ho drew his lovolver,
but did not have sufllclent power In
his hand, on account of the cut in his
arm. to use It. He was taken In a
cab to tho otllce of Dr. Henry H.alpert.
who dressed his Injuries Tho wound
over the eje requhed several stitches,
but tho one on the nim was not of
such a serious nature. Ellman, had
a very narrow escape, however, for
had tho knife plunged Into his neck
fatal consequences would have un
doubtedly ensued.
The policy department have been
notified to be on the lookout for Epps,
who is said to be the blackest colored
man In town He will hav a very
hard time In removing the handcuffs,
which were of the very best steel.

ation Another meeting will be held

Tho men were highly pleased with
their visit and expiess themselves with
one accoid as being sanguine of an
ndjustment satisfactory to both slde3
being nmlcably reached.
One veteran conductor who was ad
tho conference said last night to a
Tilbune reporter. "I have been on
grievance committees foi the past
twenty jears and have dealt with about
every official tho D3law.are, Lackawan
na nnd Western has ever had and I
never saw a committee so cordially re
ceived and their icquests given such
courteous consideration.
"Those three men wo dealt with to
day strike mo as being about as gen
tlemanlv, business-like and shrewd set
of ofllclais as I have ever met and I've
met a good many of them in my time
1 am peifcctly satislled that we aro not
only going to be falily but generously
heated "
Geneial Superintendent Russell In
speaking of the confernco with a. Tilb
uno reporter said"
"I anticipate no trouble whatever In
i caching a satisfactory ugteement I
outlined my policy to tho men nnd they
scorned to assent to Its every feature
The details will bo readily adjusted"
MR. RUSSELL'S POLICY
Refenlng to his policy of dealing
with tho men, as he outlined It to the
committee, Ml Russell said "I do
not believe In the policy of dismissals
and suspensions as puietlced on many
loads as n penalty on the men for ac
cidents It would be possible under
my policv In this regaul, for a man to
have a head-on collision and not lose
u day for It A man's general conduct
would enter Into mv treatment of the
case ns much os would the Immediate
elrcumstances I want men vvo nro
good living men ns well ns good i all
road men and will Insist on having
them."
The rules which the ttalnmen nnd
conduetois submitted tover ten closely

schedule Is said to be quite ns vol
umnous Their eonsldeiutlon, as Is
evident, Is a mattet that will lequlro

Is that It will be six week or two

Corruptly Piocurcd nnd That the

Council Does Not Properly Safe

This morning in all probability work
will bo stopped on the tiolley of the
Set anion and Plttston Railway com
pany which Is designed to connect
Rendham and Durjeu, the present ter
minals of the Scrunton Railway com
panv's Taylor lino and the Wjomlng
Vnlley Traction company's Plttston
lino.
The citizens of Old Forge, or at least
a committee of them claiming to iei
resent the general sentiment of tln
borough have taken It upon them
selves to annul the franchise recently
granted by the borough council and
ns a first step In the movement thev
yesterday petitioned for nnd sccui"d
from Judge Edwards a prellmlnniv In
junction halting the company's operi
tlons on tho boiough streets. The in
junction wns gi anted conditional up
on the tiling of a sufllclent bond and
this the attorneys for tho petitioners,
H. M. Hannah and J. T McCollom.
say will be presented this mnininp;
The committee is composed of Char
les J. Keogh, R. Willis Reese, John
J. Timlin, John N. Cooke, William
Reph, P. J Fallon, F. J Stuart, G"oige
Snffoid. John A Wood, Rlchurd V.
Howard, Patton Tavlor, Frank R.
Coyne and Wallace Oimlston.
They say they are by no in,ini
averse to a stiect railway gain;;
thiough the borough, nor will the' eib
Ject to the Plttston nnd Scianton com
pany being given the franchise but,
they do most seilously object to the
terms of the ordinance gi anting the
finnchlse and to the means by which
Its passage was secured.
COULD NOT MAKE TERMS
This same companj. It Is claimed,
negotiated for a light of wa throir.U
tho municipality when It was a tovn
shlp, but ns It wns necessary under
the laws governing townships to se
cure tho consent of propeity holders
along the route tho company could not
make the terms It wanted nnd allowed
the project to drop, although an agi ce
ment which the property holders
thought was very liberal on their part
was arrived at and a suppose J, accept
ance of the terms of the agreement
filed by the company.
It Is next alleged that tho company
was Instrumental In having the form
of government changed from township
to borough, under which latter n bur
gess and council nre the onlv ones to
be consldeied In negotiating for a
right of way. The town was Incorpor
ated Into a borough May 2, 1S99. May
1G, the elections were held. June 5
the councils passed over the veto of
Burgess Kennedy an oidlnance grant
ing the Plttston and Scranton Ita'l
way company right of way through
the borough And this wns after a
similar oidlnance parsed by council
and vetoed by tho burgess had fallo 1.
This remarkable activity In legislating
for the railway company Is pointed
out by tho petitioners as a sort of a
picfuce to their allegations touching
upon the means that were used In
securing the passage of the ordinance.
These means ure best Illustrated In the
language of the bill In equity under
which the Injunction was granted.
SERIOUS CHARGES.
"That said ordinance was fraudu
lently and corruptly procured to bo
passed by said street railway com
pany and Its agents, and that prior
to the passage of said ordinance by

bribes were offered, promised nnd given
to them, by said street railway com
pany and their agents, to procure tho
passage of said ordinance, and that
said ordinance was drawn up and pre
pared by said company and Its agents
