Prisoners Brought Back from Canada Are Arraigned Before Justice Cooney Taken to Jail. Chief of Police Frank Robllng and City Detective John Molr yesterday morning at 3 o'clock arrived In the city from Montreal, Canada, where they hud gone In quest of the two men arrested there, charged with shooting Police men Keys and Snyder, of Dunmoro, last July. , They brought back their prisoners, whoso names are Jean Oullhot nnd Francis Mcrller, not Antolne Robert and Augustl Robert, as they claimed at Montreal, nnd lodged them In the cen tral police station. They confessed their guilt at Montreal, und no trouble was experienced In bringing them homo. On their arrival nt Montreal, the chief and detectlvo wero delayed con siderably by the fact that official papers had mil yet arrived from Ottawa, which had to be obtained before the prisoners could be removed. After much parley with headquarters the papers, however, were at last re ceived Wednesday, und the quartette then loft. They were considerably de cayed bymlsslng train connections and so Instead of arriving at 10.30 ednes duy night, as was expected, it was not until yesterday morning that they leached here. Of the two men. Mcrller Is supposed to be the more dangerous man. lie Is of medium height and well built, and It was with his revolver that the shoot ing was done, ho passing the weapon to Oullhot, who fired thc shots. The latter Is short and solidly built and, like his comrade, makes a good appear ance. Both men are unmarried, nnd while in this city wero employed at the Spencer Iron works. Their pictures were taken yesterday morning and will be placed in the local Rogue's gallery. Last evening at 7.D0 o'clock tho two men were given a hearing In the olllce of Justice of the Peace B. W. Cooney, on Chestnut street, Dunmore, where the warrants for their arrest wore is sued, and at its conclusion were com mitted to tho county jail, to there await trial on tho charge of felonious ly wounding the two officers. Tho first witness In the case was Po liceman Henry Snyder. He gave as his story that while walking his beat on Jefferson avenue, Dunmore, on the night In question last July, he saw the two men, whom he loeognlzed as Gull hot and Merller, loitering around nnd acting In a generally suspicious man ner. He decided to follow and kept be hind them. Ho was soon Joined by Policeman Patrick Kays. Together they followed the men, who started for a clump of woods nearby. Once they had gained the shadow of tho woods, the shorter of tho two turned and, leveling a revolver at the officers, llred. His first shot took effect and one of tho officers fell. Ho then shot again and this time the other was struck. The men then mado their es cape. Policeman Kays was sworn and told practically the same story. The pris oners were then asked whether they wished to say anything In their own defense, and Oullhot, or Robert, us he at first gave his name, was put on the stand. Ho acknowledged the shooting, saying that he had' seen tho officers dogging him and his companion, und that ho had at last fired. Merller was pwom and admitted being with Gullhot at, the time the two otticers were wounded, but denied hav ing had anything to do with the shoot ing. Tho Justice committed the two men to the county Jail. At the hearing both of the prisoners made a very good ap pearance, and, In spite of the serious ness of the crime with which they were charged, appeared very good-natured and calm. They speak a fairly good English, and Merller In particu lar seemed very Intelligent, Oullhot having worn a stolid look. DIES. GLYNN. In Scranton.

Puller Goes Extensively Into the Matter of the Necessity of the Proposed Outlet from the Anthra cite Coal Regions to Tide Water. Aside from Coal There Is an Abundance of Freight. Another hearing on the application of the Delaware Valley and Kingston llallrond company for u charter will he given by the New York Rnllway com mission nt the Fifth Avenue hotel In New York city next Tuesday. Tho ex tremity to which tho opposition to this application Is being carried nnd tho desperate expedients to which the combination of coal-cntrylng roads U resorting In Its endeavor; to avert this threatened crmpetltlon will bo better understood nfter perusal of tho facts set forth In the appended affidavit. The suit brought In the United States Circuit court In Philadelphia by the Krle llallrond company against the Erie and Wyoming Valley company and the Pennsylvania Coal company to restrain tho bulldlnt," of that portion of the proposed new road which la lo be constructed from Hawley to Lacka waxen Is an Instnnceln point: Edward I Fuller, being duly sworn, says: First I reside at Scranton, Pennsyl vania, and am one of the Incorporators of the Delaware Valley and Kingston Railway company. I have been engaged in the anthracite coal- mining business for about twenty years, and operate several breaker:!. I am chairman of tho executive committee of the Anthracite Coal Operators' association, coinpoge.il of Individual operators, who mined about thirty per cent, of the total an thracite coal mined in the year 1S99. Second The Erie and Wyoming Val ley railroad runs through tho Wyoming coal district, nnd there arc inuny col lieries of Individual owners situated ad jacent to Us railroad, and within prac ticable switch connection with It. ABOUT HALF TIME. Third In the year 1S99, the Individual collieries were operated about 170 to 175 days, or a little more than half time. They could not bo operated any more than this, because their owner wcro unable to get facilities for ship ping their coal from tho existing rail road companies. The Individual oper ators have, for a long time, been en deavoring to get a new outlet for their coal, and went so far ns to Incorporate the New York, Wyoming and Western Railroad company, under the laws of Pennsylvania, for that purpose, a year or two ago. That railroad was not built, practically because the proposed route wus an expensive one, and for other reasons. Subsequently, when It was ascertained that the Delaware and Hudson canal could bo acquired for the purpose of a railroad, the construction of the New York, Wyoming and West ern was suspended, as the new route over the canal is not only more direct, but is unique In having scarcely anv adverse grades, In following natural waterwayst. In forming a very direct lln to the Hudson river, und In the fact that it can be acquired at a small percentage of what It cost the Canal company. Fourth If tho Delaware Valley and Kingston railroad Is constructed, and if a branch line is constructed on tho Erie and Wyoming Valley from Haw ley to a connection with it in the Dela ware river, at Lackawaxen, I am qult? certain that the owners of individual collieries along the line of the Erie nnd Wyoming Valley ruilroad could ship over tho new route at least two mill ion (2,000,000) tons of coal a year; anil from the collieries In which I am per sonally Interested, 1 am confident that at least five hundred thousand (S00.000) tons of coal can be shipped annually. AFFORD GREAT RELIEF. Fifth If the proposed route Is con structed and operated. It will not only afford great relief to the owners of In dividual collieries, who are residents nnd citizens of Pennsylvania, but It will place them on an equality with such companies as the Erie Railroad company, which owns the stock of coal mining companies, organized under tho laws of Pennsylvania, and by reason Spring TailorMade Suits, Jackets and Skirts Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10, We will make our annual display of ready-to-wear garments.

MEARS & HAG EN, SIMPSON & WATKINS, Fiscal Agents, Board of Trade Building, OFFliR A LIMIT.: I AMOUNT OF NEW MEXICO RAILWAY AND COAL CO. 5 Gold Bonds At Par and Accrued Interest. Net earnings of the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad Co. since its completion to the Capitan Coal Fields last October, are as follows : October $ 9,130.00. November .' 10,055.00. December 11,129.00. January 17,550.00. February 25,460.00. Monthly proportion of the full interest on the total issue of Three Hillion Dollars of Bonds, is only $12,- 500.00. of such ownership, can charge nomin ally high rates for transporting th coal of that company, so as to ovoid the charge of discrimination. While Its own coal companies nominally lose by these excessive charges, tho railroad company Itself gets the benefit; and the apparent toss to Its coal companies Is merely a matter of bookkeeping. Blxth Aside from the coal trafllc, the construction of tho proposed railroad will be of great general benefit to citi zens of Pennsylvania, residing In Scran ton and Its vicinity; ns It will furnish them a direct and .attractive outlet to all points In Northern New York and New England; and they will also be benefitted by tho general business which will bo done over the now rail road in both directions. A few weeks ago, the board of trade of Scranton passed resolutions, very strongly en dorsing tho proposed railroad; and at a meeting of the Anthracite Coal Oper ators' association, held a short time ago, equally emphatic resolutions wero passed In favor of tho road, the mem bers pledging themselves to do all they could to further Its Interests. Seventh I have attended the hear ings which have been hud before the board of railroad commissioners, on the application of the Delaware Valley and Kingston Railway company, for a cer tificate. The chief opposition to the ap plication Is made by the Erie Railroad company and by the Now York, Ontario and Western Railroad company, an other anthracite railroad company: but from my knowledge of the facts I am confident that all of the anthracite coal railroad companies are opposing the construction of the new railroad, for tho purpose of suppressing competition nnd continuing the understanding as to tho schedule of rates now existing among the said companies. HAS MANY ADVANTAGES. Eighth I am the president of the Genesee and Wyomlns Railroad com pany, a New York corporation, and have had considerable experience In railroad matters. I have nuver In my experience seen a proposed route, for a railroad company which offers so many natural advantages as the pro posed railroad over tho Delaware and Hudson canal. The construction of this proposed railroad la not merely pro moted by persons Interested In the Pennsylvania Coal company and In tho Kilo- and Wyoming Valley Railroad company, but Is also very actively pro moted by the individual owners of col lieries In Pennsylvania, by Independ ent capitalist!!, and by persons Inter ested In railroad nnd manufacturing industries at Kingston, New York, es pecially by Mr. Samuel D. Coykendall'. the president of the Ulster and Dela ware Railroad company (a corporation which has Its eastern terminus it Kingston), the president of the Cornell Steamboat company, which does a very large business on the Hudson river, and a man largely Interested in the ex tensive Roscndnle cement quarries, near Kingston, which have owed their existence entirely to the canal, and can be reached only by a line of railroad passing along the canal. Even, there fore. If every pound of coal mined by the Pennsylvania Coal company should be shipped over the existing line of the Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad and delivered to the Erie Railroad com pany, the Interests connected with the eonstruetlon of the Delaware Valley and Kingston railway and the branch from 1-aekawaxen to Hawley, so as to form an lndeuctulcnt line to the an thracite regions, would undoubtedly ob tain more hnn sufficient business of other kinds to make the proposed line a very profitable one, without affect ing In the slightest way any contracts entered Into by tho Erie Railroad com pany.

It Was Passed on Third Reading in Select Council and Then Went Over to Common Council, Where It Was Introduced, Referred to Committee, Reported Favorably nnd Passed on Two Readings Common Council Will Hold a Special Meeting To night to Pass It Finally. , Without discussion or comment, select council last night passed on third reading the ordinance providing for the execution of a ten-year .con tract with the Scranton Electric Light and Heat company for furnishing the city with electric light at twenty cents a lamp per night. The vote was as follows: Ayes-Messrs. Kearney, Thomas, Roche. Melvln, Schneider. Shen, McCunn. hol lows, fichroeder. O Uoyle, Frablc. Coyne, MoAndrew. Wllllums-14. Nnvs .Messrs. Ross, Finn, James, Chittenden I. , Absent Messrs. Wagner, Sanderson, Lansing 9. At the last meeting, Mr. Pnss was erroneously recorded in having voted for the contract. Tho prdlnance then went over to common council, where It was referred, on motion of Mr. drier, to tho light and water committee with Instructions to report forthwith. Tho committee re tired and In about three minutes time returned and presented a favorable re port on the measure, every one of the live following members signing their names: C. E. Godshall, Alfred Har vey, M. J. Cuslck, James J. Orler and M. V. Morris. Later In the evening Mr. Grler called the ordinance up and it passed first and second reading. When it came up for second reading Chairman Ksller relinquished the chair to Mr. Zlzleman and, taking the floor, made a few re marks against the measure, as follows: "I know that what I say about this ordinance won't have any effect with this council, ibut I want to say some thing In defense of my position agalnsi It. I believe that Mr. Scranton his been more limn fair In reducing the price year by year, but I don't think it's right for this city to enter Into a ten years' contract with his company at the same price per light we pild last vear, "If it was a question of the two bids received I should oppose both of them. While I am talking of bids I might remark that It Is very strange that the lowest bid has not come b foro this council, no member seeming to care anything about It. I don't think that this Is a matter that should be hurried over In a few weeks: It Is one that should bo considered for at least a vear. "Members of this council have been for years clamoring for municipal own ership nnd yet these same men now vole with charming Inconsistency to give this contract to this company ior the long period of ten years. From a business standpoint alone I can't see thut one lota of a reason can be ad vanced for the letting of this contract under existing conditions." A deathly silence reigned after Mr. Keller's remarks and, the question being put, ho was apparently the only one who voted against It. Common council will meet tonlsht to pass the ordinance on third reading. COMMANDERY OFFICERS. William H. Brutzman Elected Emi nent Commander of Mellta. Mcllta commandery.
