IMPORTANT EQUITY
SUIT HAS BEGUN
AIMS A DEATH BLOW AT FRO
, POSED RAILROAD.
Action Is Brought Against the
Northwest Coal Company to Com
pel It to Ship Coal from Its Two
Collieries Over the Now York, On
tario and Western Railroad There
Is a Contract in Existence Between
tho Fartles Which It Is Desired to
Enforce.
The New York, Ontario and West
ern Railroad company yesterday began
an action In equity against the North
west Coal company, which alms a
deathjblow at tin proposed new coal
carrying road. The plaintiff nsks for
an Injunction to restrain the defend
ant from shipping coal from the Simp
son and Southwest collieries, In Fell
township, over any other road than the
New York, Ontniio and Western.
Judge Edwards granted a preliminary
Injunction and made It returnable on
August K0.
It is alleged by the plaintiff that on
February 2, 18M, the Northwest Coal
company wns organized, with C. D.
Simpson as president, T. II. Wntklns
as treasurer, mid W. O. Parke as sec
retary. That they were organized for
the purpose of mining and shipping
coal from two tracts which they leased
In Fell township. On these tracts they
built the Simpson colliery and the
Northwest colliery. At that time the
plaintiff company owned and operated
a railroad from Weehnwken, N. J., to
Oswego and Lake Ontario, the said
load passing through Hancock, N. Y.
Tho bill In equity then proceeds as fol
lows: THE AGREEMENT MADE.
"The officers of the defendant com
pany urged the plaintiff company to
construct u branch road from Hancock
through Finest City and Carbondale
to Scranton. They desired this so that
they might be enabled to ship the pro
duel of the two collieries to tidewater
over their road. As an Inducement to
them to build the road they agreed to
ship 100,000 tons of coal annually over
their road.
"Tills amount was necessary in order
to insure the financial success of Un
load. In order to make It pay the com
pany had to have the necessary ton
nage and a contract was entered Into
whereby the defendants agreed to ship
the product of the two mines over the
New York, Ontailo and Western to
tidewater.
"On th" strength of this agreement
tlie plaintiff caused to be organized the
Scranton and Forest City Railroad
company, running from Scranton to
Hancock, where It connected with the
main line of the plaintiff's road. Re
sides this, yards had to be constructed
along- the branch and also along the
main line, docks had to he built at
Weeliawken and a great expense in
curred. "The contract for delivering the coal
by the defendants to the plaintiffs was
to be binding until the coal in the two
mines should be exhausted. it was
also to be binding upon the asslsns of
the company.
RAILROAD CONSTRUCTED.
"On the signing of the contract, the
plaintiff company constructed the rail
road as agreed and combining with two
other companies organized what is
known ns the Ontario. Carbondale and
Scranton Railroad company. The road
was put In operation July 1, l.SDO, ns
wns agreed. They did tills at an ex
pense of several bundled thousands of
dollars.
"They claim that had they not bud
such contracts made and expected tho
fulfillment of the same they could not
bnve constructed the road. At least It
could not have done so without th
tonnage specliied In the contract,
which Is from one-tenth to one-sixteenth
of the total business.
"The shipments for the defendant
company commenced in September,
1SP0. and were continued until June.
IS'.lfl. The shipments went on after 1890
to January. 1.S01, when the defendant
consigned all of Its coal to Dickson ,V:
Eddy In New York, but It still shipped
over the plaintiff's road.
"Up to the present year the defend
ant coninany has shipped an average
of 1, 00.",02 l.0r tons per annum over the
plaintiffs' load. The rates were more
favorable than could be secured from
other companies.
"The defendant ceased shipping over
the New York. Ontario and Western In
July and has shipped 22.000 tons over
the Erie railroad. The life of the prop
erty in all probability will not extend
beyond lf09. At that time the leases
will expire.
COMPANY FORMED.
"During the year 1S9S the said Simp
son & Wntklns, together with other
perons engaged In mining anthracite
coal, organized a corporation under the
laws of Pennsylvania with the avowed
purpose of constructing a railroad over
which they would transport coal, the
product of their mines thereby taking
the tonnuge from other railroads then
existing.
"During the winter of 1S9S the plain
tiff was requested to Join with many
other companies in a plan to buy up all
the collletles of the so-called Individual
operators, but refused to do so. Tho
other companies proceeded, rind bnv
Ing secured control of the Temple lion
company, through them bought up all
tho capital stock of the mining corpor
ations in which Simpson & Watklns
were Interested, Including nil the capl
tul stock of the Northwest Coal com
pany. "On June 2fi they stopped shipping
coal over the plaintiffs' road. The lat
ter continued to run empty cars In to
tho breaker, but the defendant would
run them out ugaln, and finally locked
the switches leading to their collieries
and refused to receive or load any more
of the plaintiffs' curs. The defendants
now deslro to ship their coal over tho
Jefferson branch of the Erie to the Eti
road, thence to tidewater and distribut
ing points. This. would be an Irrepar
able Injury to the plaintiffs."
The;' ask that the company be com
pelled to open the switch and continue
to ship the coal over their road.
Tonnase Is what the proposed new
railroad wants. Thcro are many com
panies like the New York, Ontario and
Western that have similar contracts
with carrying roads, and If they can
all hold their tonnage tho new road
will never bo built.

THE COMING GAME SEASON.
Quail and Other Game Reported to
Be Abundant.
Iteports received at the headquarters
of the State Game Commission Indicate
that the season opening October IS and
closing December in will be very suc
cessful. Quail are very abundant In
all sections of Pennsylvania, and
pheasants and wild turkeys more than
usually plentiful. The Increase of this
species of game Is mainly ascribed to
the wholesome operation of the now
law preventing the killing of game for
the markets. In the absence of this
restriction quail and other edible gume
were the victims of wholesale slaugh
ter. Most of It was shipped to Now York
city after having been killed in this
stnte. The penalty for killing" it deer
for the purpose of selling it Is $100, and
for killing a wild turkey, pheasant,
quail, grouse or woodcock Is $23 or Im
prisonment of one day for every dollar
of line, The killing of more than ten
pheasants, fifteen quail, ten woodcock
and two wild turkeys In one day Is pro
hibited. Two deer only can be killed
In one season by any one person.
No deer can be killed lawfully In
streams or hunted with dogs. The
only month In which they can lie shot
Is In November. Deer have become
comparatively tame owing to tho pin
tectlon they have received through
discriminate slaughter.

CONTEST SIGNERS
HELD A MEETING
THEY GATHERED TUESDAY
NIGHT IN FULLER'S OFFICE.
The Opinion Handed Down by Judge
Archbald Monday in the Walsh
Thomas Case Was Considered.
Opinion Does Not Decide Anything
Save Thnt tho Contest Wos Well
Started nnd Cannot Now Be Ham
pered by Restrictions Witnesses
Who Were Examined Yesterday.
Tuesday night thpre way a meeting
in the oillce of Aldeiman Fuller of
the men who signed the election con
test petition of William Langstnff who
seeks to oust M. J. Kelly from the
odlee of county treasurer.
It was giver, out yesterday that the
meeting was attended by a large num
ber of signers of the petition and that
It was held for the purpose of ascer
taining tlie exact stlttts of the contest
and taking steps to have It terminated
tit as early a day as possible.
It Is understood' that the opinion
bandeddown by Judge Archbald Mon
day in the matter of the rule or secur
ity for costs In the case of W. II.
ThomnK, whose right to the olllir of
constable of the Eighth ward of this
city is contested by John K. Walsh,
was considered at some length and
many of those present were of the
opinion that It was a straw which In
dicates the way the court will deal
with the Vaughiin bill when It comes
before It The opinion is ns follows:
This contest grew out of a municipal
election In February. 1S99. and was lnstt.
tuted March 20. under tho act of May 19,
IS" I. liy nn am.-ndment to the ninth sf-e-tlon
of that act approved the 2Stli day
of April, 1S99. It was In substance provid
ed that In all such contests If the con
testant falls to establish his right to the
office claimed the petitioners shall be
Jointly and severally liable for the costs
to secure which It was further provided
that:
MUST FILE A HOND.
Whenever a petition to contest an elec
tion in anv of said eases shall be pre
sented to the court, It shall be the duty
of said petitioner, -within ten days there,
after to Hie a bond signed b at least live
of tho said petitioners in a sum as tlie
said court, or any Judge thereof during
acatlon. shall designate, with sureties
to be approved by the said court or Judge
condltlonid for the payment of all costs
which may accrue In said contested elec
tion proceeding. In case the said peti
tioners by decieo of said court shall bo
adjudged liable to pay said costs, and If
the said bond shall not be tiled, as herein
provided the Mild petition to contest the
election shall be dismissed.
It Is contended that tlie final disposi
tion of the costs in the present c,ase Is to
be governed by these protlslons of tho
subsisting law. and that to make them
effective tlie petitioners should bo re
quired to give bond (is there directed.
To this, however, we cannot agree. The
final disposition of costs is not lx'fore
us and as to what law shall govern ns
when we come to It we have nothing to
sny.
At the thin the contest was Institutfd
It was well Instituted, according to the
law then in force, and by that It is to bo
Judged. We are not to Impose restrictions
upon It which did not exist, nor dismiss
It (as we must, should the present appli
cation prevail) for failure to comply with

Muttitory requirements, subsequently
passed.
Since the argument our attention has
been called to section I", act S, of the con
stitution, but we express no opinion as
to whether It has anv healing upon tho
control of the case before us.
The rule to give security for costs Is
discharged.
It will be observed that Judge Arch
bald does not pass upon the question
of costs at all or whether or not legis
lation passed by the last legislature Is
unpllcable to contests In progress at
the time. He contents himself with
saying that the contest was well begun
und restrictions cannot now be imposed
upon It.
