viding for thu paving of Penn nvenue
In front of the property of Mrs. John
Coar at the Joint expenses of the city
and tho said Mrs. John Coar. Tha

which tho money was to come, hns al

A communication was also received

ing. Tho solicitor said that he was not
able to state that the city could com
pel tho company to take action on tho
matter nnd that whatever understand
ing wns ngreed upon would have to bo

the matter be referred to n committee
for adjustment nnd on motion of Mr.

committee.
The ordinance Introduced by Mr.
Watklns prohibiting children from
Jumplngonmovlngstrect cars nnd pro
viding for the appointment of a special

therof, came up for second reading,
and nftcr a deal of argument was re

purpose of amending It In such a man
ner ns to allow an appeal to bo taken
from the ruling of the magistrate bo
fore whom offenders against tho meas
ure nre tried.

Fourth avenue, was adopted, after
which council adjourned.
SPEEDWAY CLUB HOUSE.
Party of Newspaper Men Were En
tertained There Last Night When
It Was Formally Opened.
With the keen blasts of winter
whistling nround it and tho sleet driv
ing noisily against its brilliantly il
luminated windows, tho Scranton
Speedway Land company's club hotel
last night inaugurated Its career. Tho
first persons to cross its threshold as
guests were a party of newspaper men
who had been invited by the manage
ment to view the inumerable charms
of the hotel and partake of its excel
lent cuisine.
The building, which has been in
course ot erection since Juno last, Is
situated on the western side of the
"speedway" and is HP. feet long, fifty
six feet wide nnd three stories high.
It is pure white with extremely wido
verandas, which are supported and
ornamented by largo rock granite pil
lars. From the western windows of
the top story a full view of Scranton
may be had, and even amidst tho
storm of last night a thousand elec
tric lights sweeping fiom the Notch
to the Round Woods revealed the city's
position brilliantly silhouetted against
the back ground of glomy mountains.
The main entrance to the building
tads directly Into the vestibule, which
It) warmed and ornamented by a largj
granite fire place. In which, last even
ing, blazed and cracked tho good old
mountain log.
To the left of the vestibule lies tho
ball room, thirty-two by thirty-three
feet, and beyond it is one of the neat
est dining rooms imaginable, tinted In
white and capable of seating sixty per
sons; extending from this room is tho
bar, which will be thrown open to the
public as soon as a license can bo se
cured. All that portion of the building
which lies to tho right or north of tha
vestibule will bo reserved for tho ex
clusive use of the Speedway club, and
it is safe to say that this suite of
rooms with its white walls ot grain
enamel, its cosy furniture and richly
toned carpets, make it one of the pret
tiest sets of apartments In the pos
session of any organization in this
vicinity.
On the second floor are situated
twenty-eight bed rooms, which lie to
tho right and left of the hall, which is
six feet wido and over one hundred
nnd twenty feet long. The rooms are
large and equipped in a most thor
ough and costly manner. On the third
floor Is located a card room and the
servants' rooms.
Although tho hotel lies three miles
from Scranton the $30,000 expended up
on its construction and furnishing en
able It to boast of all the conveniences
which are part of any standard hotel
situated within the limits of a large
city. The building is heated by steam,
illuminated by acetylene, supplied
with hot and cold water and sanitated
in tlio most modern manner.
The management is desirous of re
moving any impression that tho build
ing has been erected for club purposes
only. It has been erected for the bene
fit of the traveling and pleaiure-seek-Ing
public nnd tho club Is only a sec
ondary consideration.
The ofllcers of the Scranton Speed
way Land company are: J. M, Kern
merer, president, Dr. O. K. Hill, vice
presldent;Kdward Deyea, secretaryand
treasurer, nnd J. I,. Crawford, Janus
It. Mears, Smith Gorman and Dr. L

and entertained by tho management

TROLLEY CAR DASHED
DOWN A STEEP HILL
LARGE NUMBER OF PERSONS
WERE INJURED.
Fortunately None of Their Injuries
Are of a Serious Nature A Car
Was Coming Sown the Grade from
Quincy to Madison Avenue When
the Sleet Covered Condition of the
Rails Caused the Motorman to Lose
Control of It Crashed Into a Tel
egraph Pole.
A trolley accident occurred shortly
nfter 1.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
nt tho corner of Madison avenue and
Pine street, which, were it not for
two very remarkable circumstances
would undoubtedly have resulted in
crcat loss of life. As it was all, ex
cept two, of tho passengers on tho
car, nbout thirty In number, were
moro or less Injured, several of them
rather seriously and tho car Itself
was completely demolished und lit
erally smashed Into tho proverbial
kindling wood. Those more or less
seriously Injured were:
ltOllKUT CltOOP, $03 Fifth street, Dun.
more; several ribs broken and rlfjht
leg sprained.
SAMUMLCOLWKLL, Potter Ml cot, Dun
more; several largo gashes on fore
head and scalp.
MRS. GKOHCJ13 CHUliIi, Hutler street,
Dunmore: badly bruised.
MRS. O. J. MILLKH, Uunmoro; gashes
on bend.
MISS MARY M'COURT, ot Monroo ave
nue; ksi1i oa forehead.
MISS H1:L1:N M'COt'HT. of Monroo
avenue; gash ou back of head.
The following were nmong the other
passengers on tho car who were slight
ly cut by flying glass: John Watrous,
of Dunmorc; Miss Van Cleft, Dun
more; D. M. Spacer, 1G10 Washburn
street; p. II. Walton, of Wlllla:n
port; Joseph Push, Dunmore; Mrs.
James Coldcwood and daughter, Avo
ca; Mrs. Slegel, Dunmore; James
Golden, Dunmore; T. Halleck, Dun
more; John White, Dunmore; John
Oswald, Scranton,
CAR WELL FILLED.
The wrecked car was No. 150 of the
Laurel Hill-Taylor lino inbound, and
In charge of John Jnmis, motorman,
and John Farley, conductor. The car
Btonoed at the corner of Quincy ave
nue and' Pino street, at tho head of
tho steep hill running down to Pino
street, for the purpose of taking on
passengers. The car was filled with
passengers nnd a number were stand
ing on the rear platform.
One of the large Washburn-Diinkor
cars had Just turned Into Pine street
from Madison avenue when the mo
torman was alarmed to see the Lau
rel Hill car come tearing down tlio
hill and Motorman James making a
desperate effort to stop its flight.
The motorman of tho Washburn car
with remarkable presence of mind re-'
versed the power and backed Into
Madison avenue Just In time to avert
what for a moment seemed nlmost a
certain collision.
The shower of sleet which had Just
begun had rendered the rails so slip,
pery that despite a generous supply
of sand used the Laurel Hill ear could
not bo controlled and it dashed at
lightning speed down tho hill. The
passengers, a large portion of whom
were women, became panic ttrlcken
and made desperate but futile efforts
to escape from tho car as they looked
forward and saw the steep hill In front
of them.
In tho meantime tho car continued
on lis com so and Just before tho cor
ner of Madison avenue, where the track
turns, was readied tho motorman real
izing that any further efforts on his
part would be useless nnd that he ran
a good chance nf being killed, Jumped
off the front end of the oar.
LEFT THE TRACK.
The car Jumped tho track at the
corner, but Instead of going straight
down tho hill took an oblique course
nnd ran into a largo square trolley
polo on tho southwest corner. Just In
front of the residence of Prof, Sullivan.
Tho manner in which the car struck
this pole is undoubtedly the most
fortunate feature of tho accident.
Tho front corner only of tho car
struck the pole, but even this force
was sufficient to completely wreck it.
The roof was torn off nnd thrown to
one side; tho right side and front end
were stove In and in fact about all that
remained Intact was tho trucks and the
floor.
Tho force of tho shock threw nil the
passengers on the floor, and tho ma
jority were Injured by the small pieces
of flying glass from the broken win
dows. Nearly every one was able to
extiicato him or herself from amidst
the tangled wreckage, nnd tho doors
of all the houses In the immediate
vicinity were at once thrown open to
receive the Injured ones. Dr. Lucius
Kennedy, senior surgeon at tho Moses
Taylor hospital, was promptly on tho
scene, nnd administered to the needs
of the cut and bruised.
Tho eye witnesses of the accident
sav that If tho car had struck tho
polo fcquarely at the speed it was go
ing, that there would have been loss
of life, ns tho pole would have un
doubtedly ploughed Its way straight
through the car. Had the car gono
straight down the hill the possibilities
are also fearful to contomplute, as tho
pave was slippery,
Tho only person was was injured seri
ously was Robert Croup, of S05 Fifth

HOME FROM MANILA.
Corporal Rober' E. Williams, of the
Seventeenth Infantry, Is Visit
ing His Parents.
Corporal Robert E. Williams, of
Company G, Seventeenth regiment.
United States Infantry, nnd son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer Wllllnnis, of
COO Chestnut street, West Scranton,
arrived homo yesterday nfter a year's
absence In Manila. He was a member
of the Thirteenth regiment, Pennsyl
vania Volunteer Infantry, nnd pre
vious to tho muster out of the regi
ment at Augusta, Ga., enlisted In the
regular army nnd went to the Philip
pine islands, where he saw active ser
vice in the campaign against tho Fili
pinos. After serving In the reserve line for
several months', Corporal Williams bo
came 111 and wns confined In tho hos
pital for seven weeks. On September
C, 1S99. ho was appointed to a clerical
position on the staff of one of General
Oils' secretaries at the palace In Ma
nila, where he remained until ordered
homo as an escort to several insane
soldiers. Ho wns one of eleven guards
who had charge of fourteen men.
Corporal Williams made a short stop
nt Japan on tho return voyage and ar
rived at San Francisco on December
19. The party remained on the coast
until January 2, when they started for
Washington with their demented com
rades. When tho train had gone but
a short distance; out the iirst night
one of the number Jumped from the
train through a car window and wan
killed.
Their trip was uneventful until St.
Louis was reached, when another of
tho soldiers made good his escape and
has not yet been captured. Tlio party
arrived in Washington last Sunday
nnd "Hobby" was granted a leave of
absence for thirty days to visit his
relatives. He is now enjoying good
health, but during his long Illness at
Manila his weight was reduced to
nlnety-flvo pounds. Since hl3 recovery
ho has gained considerable and now
tips the scales at 140 pounds.
Mr. Williams speaks in the warm
est manner of General Otis and says
that the criticism of his conduct is
unjust and unwarranted. He further
stater, that tho general Is one of tlio
hardest and most conscientious work
ers in tlio army, and not only aro tho
men well fed and well treated, but tho
best of care Is taken with the sick and
insane.
One of tho precautions taken by tho
department with reference to tho sol
diers who may bo injured In the heat
of battle is tho supplying of each man
with a packet of bandages, done up
in water-proof material and contain
ing illustrated directions how to uso
them on the field In case of injury.
Corporal Williams removed one of
these packets from tho body of a dead
Boldlcr and brought it homo with
him.
Tho hardships the soldiers endured
during the rainy season was some
thing terrible, he say3, and there waa
Instances when tho mm fought on
rafts and waded through tho water
four feet deep. Tho termination of
the war, however, is only a matter of
a short time.
Corporal Williams was busily en
gaged yesterday In greeting his many
friends, nnd ho expects to return to
Manila at the expiration of hlo leave
of absence.

FOUR ARRESTS FOR
ELECTION FRAUDS
EIGHTEENTH WARD PRIMARIES
DEVELOP PROSECUTIONS.
Ex-Constable John McHale Issues
Warrants for Alderman J. P.
Kelly, Constable James W. Clark,
Deputy Constable Jacob Ellman
and Special Officer P. F. Ryan,
Charging Them with Making a
Fraudulent Return to the County
Commissioners.
Alderman John P. Kelly, Constablo
James W. Clarke, Deputy Constable
Jacob Ellmnn and Special Officer P. F.
Ryan wcro arrested yesterday after
noon on a warrant sworn out before
Alderman Kasson by John Mctlntc,
charging them with making a fraudu
lent return of the Democratic primary
election hold in the Eighteenth wnrd
Dec. 31 last. Tho accused waived a
hearing nnd gave ball for their ap
pearance at court.
Tho arrests grow out of a fight be
tween rival factions headed respective
ly by McHale and tho alderman. When
tho count had been finished, after
much wrangling nnd a number of dis
orderly scenes, the' election board,
composed of John McHale, Michael
Genity, John J. Noono, James Noono
and Henry Rush, repaired to Alder
man Kelly's ofllco to make up the re
turns. Kelly, It Is nlleged, demurred
nt first to taking tho affidavits, on the
ground that the election was "rotten,"
but Anally was persuaded to attach
his signature and seal.
WRITTEN ON FOOLSCA1'.
No regular return blank was at hand
p.nd tho returns were made up on a.
sheet of fools-cap. When this was re
ceived at the county commissioners'
I ofllce nnd tho Democratic commission
er, Mr. Durklu, saw It, ho sent word
to the candidates for school controller
nnd common council, respectively, P.
J. Langan and T. F. Morris, that the
return should be made on a regular
blank. One of these blanks was sent
to Mr. Morris in caro of Constable
Clarke. A few days later when It was
returned by Clarke it was found to
contain some substitutions and a dis
crepancy in the name of one of tho
election board, James Noone.
On the original return tho nominees
were: Thomas F. 'Morris, common
council; P. J. Langan, school control
ler; James J. Noone. Judge of election;
Henry Rush and Michael Genity, in
spectors; Edward Manlcy, register of
voters. On the second return sheet
Peter M. Staff appeared as Judge of
election; John CInrke and Peter Mc
Laughlin, as Inspectors, and Patrick
Duffy as register of voters. These are
tho alleged defeated candidates.
Tho election board was called upon
to examine tho Fecond return and
asked how it was they swore to both
returns being correct. One and nil,
at once, claimed hey never saw tho
second return before and averred their
signatures had been forged.
Tho fact that Alderman Kelly took
tho affidavits of the correctness of
both returns and attached his signa
ture and seal Is the basis of tho prose
cution against him. Constables Clarke
and Ellman are charged with illlng
tho alleged fraudulent return nnd Spc
ciay Olllcer Ryan, who Is clerk of Al
derman Kelly's olllee, is nlleged to
have made up the return.
HEARING IN CASE.
The hearing In the case was sot fur
V o'clock last evening. Alderman Kelly
had previously waived a hearing and
entered bail in the sum of $300 before
Alderman Kasson for his appearance
at court. Clarke and Ryan came In
with their attorney, W. W. Baylor,
shortly after 7 o'clock and also waived
a hearing. Ellman, who had been
waiting some tlmo for tho hearing to
begin, decided to follow suit nnd, at
the suggestion of the prosecutor, wns
allowed to go on his own recognizance.
Attorney Baylor became bondsman fir
Clarke and Ryan till 10 o'clock tomor
row morning, when they aro to appear
nnd give ball for their appearance at
court. The recognizance was also fixed
at $200.
McHale, the prosecutor, protested
against the defendants being allowed
to waive a hearing and also against
Attorney Baylor being permitted to
become ball. His objections were over
ruled. Tho prosecutor assured Clarke,
Ryan and Ellman that he had nothing
against them and didn't want to prose
cute them. If they would tell who
made up the fraudulent return ho
would withdraw tho case against them,
ho said. Tho contemptuous, pitying
look which "Shamus" Clarko threw
over his lower shoulder at the solici
tous McHale was enough to make any
ordinary man feel as It he could wear
ins nttio boys clothes.
Tlio caucus Itself Is said to have
been a scundalous affair. One ot tin
election board was kicked out of the
polling place, so tho other election offi
cers say, for eating the ballots.

MAYOR REQUESTED TO SIGN.
Printers Take Action About Open
ing Wyoming Avenue.
The members of tho Scranton Typo
graphical union held a meeting yester
day at which a resolution was adopted
asking the mayor not to veto the reso
lution now before him with reference
to tho opening of Wyoming avenue.
It Is said that other labor organiza
tions will follow in the footsteps of tho
printers.
Other cities, Wllkes-Barro Included,
aro endeavoring to induce tho Colliery
Engineer company to locate their pro
posed printing plant in their cities. If
the movement to open Wyoming nvenuo
is blocked there is a possibility that
the overtures from other cities will re
ceive favorable consideration.
