OFFICIALS BOUGHT CONDEMNED HORSES AN INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE THAT INVESTIGATED. Selectman Vaughan, Chairman of the Special Commltteo Appointed to Find Out What Became of tho Six Missing Fire Department Horses, Tells All About It In a Sensa tional Report, Accompanied by an Equally Spicy Verbal Statement. A Removal Is Recommended. Daniel W. Vaughan, select council man fiom the Nineteenth ward and tho chairman of the speclnl committee appointed to Investigate the circum stances nttendlng the sale of six of the eleven horses recently put out of ser-. vice in the fire department, announced two weeks ngo that when the com mittee reported It would have Borne sensations to spring. Do It said that a few of these sensations were sprung at last night's meeting of select coun cil. The first one came when tho follow ing report of the committee, recom mending among other things the re moval of Veterinarian Sltterly, was read; To the Select Council: (ientlemen: Your special committee, appoint ed to ascertain what disposition was made of the tiro department hor-.es, respectfully beg leae to report that councils lute not authorized the sale or disposal of the horses in question, "c hae ascertained that the evchlcf of the fire department, tho tcterinary surgeon and tho chairman of the fire department committee of the common council have assumed authority and illegally cold sK of the eleven horses. We therefore recommend that the city solicit or immediately proceed to rccotcr said horses, and that the committee he continued to act In conjunction with the city solicitor In the said proceedings. We further recommend that the mayor cause the Immediate remoal or discharge of Dr. C. M. bitterly as veterinary surgeon. Daniel W. Vaughan, Chairman. When this report had been read, Mr. Oliver was the first to break the silence which reigned for several moments. He said: MR. OLIVER DEFENDS. "I notice that the ex-chief of the fire, department Is Included In Ihls report. I am satisfied that any dealing he had in this matter was an honotable one. and I nm not willing to allow this re port to be adopted without defending him." Mr. Oliver then started in at the beginning to trace tho whole his tory of the case, but was Interrupted by Mr. Vaughan, who said: "If the gentleman from the Fif teenth wants proof, we can give him nil he wants. All we want Is to get those six horses back, nnd when we do that we'll call the thing square. The ex-chief ctf the Arc department sold the two old Franklin horses for $100 and turned the money over to Frank Cobb, tho horse dealer, to be credited to the city. That's what Mr. Cobb says, and I'm Inclined to believe htm." Mr. Oliver denlei this straight up and down, and Insisted that ex-Chief Walker did not make the sale. Mr. Finn was the next speaker, and said: "For the benefit of Mr. Vaughan, I would say that Mr. AValker did not sell any horses himself. They were sold, as they have been sold for years, by tho purchasing committee of tho fire department." Mr. Vaughan was beginning to get excited now, and when Mr. Finn had finished, he said: WHAT MR. COBB SAYS. "There's no evidence In the city treasurer's office to show that any horses were sold. Cobb says he doesn't know the man that bought the two Franklin horses. All he knows Is th-it Walker came to him and handed him $100, saying that he sold them. He further says that M. V. Morris gave him another $100, saying that he had sold three horses, one to AVado Finn for $50, one to himself for $23 and one to Dave NIcholls for $25. Sltterly came to him another day, he says, and gave him $50, saying that he had bought one of the Eagle horses himself for that amount. "What did Sltterly do then? Afte; selling to himself one of the horses that he himself had condemned, for $C0, he went down to the Eagle hose house tho next day and bragged about the bargain he had struck, saying that the horse was easily worth $125. The gentlemen will remember that when the veterinarian sent in his communi cation, recommending the purchase of the new horses, he said that some of the horses In the department were twenty-five years old. "Were any of these six horses sold the twenty-flvo year old animals? No, they weren't. Tho twenty-flvo year old horses are still In the department, drawing the General Phlnney engine and they're doing excellent work. Theso people didn't sell themselves any twenty-flvo year old horses, though, you can bet. I want to say that the purchase of these new horses was forced on us so that some people could have nn easy thing of It." When Mr. Vaughan had finished, Mr. Finn said: MR. FINN'S REMARKS. "I got one of those horses, but I wnnt to tell the gentleman from the Nineteenth that if he ever gets it back it will bo at tho tail end of a lawsuit." "We'll get It back nil right, don't you worry," replied Mr. Vaughan. Mr. McCann remarked that ns a member of the fire department com mittee, he knew nothing about either 2 OneQuart Bottles for 25c Saegertown. Ginger Ale, Birch or Sarsaparilla.

Coin sen 420 Lackawanna Avenue. tho purchase or tho sale of any horses whatever, no ono having consulted him nt nil. Mr. Chittenden thought thnt the re port should not bo adopted until Dr. Sltterly was given n chance to explain hlfl side of the case, nnd, accordingly moved to lay the mntter over until the next meeting. The motion was Ir3t by tho following tie vote: Yeas Messrs. Ross, Finn, Thomas, James, Chittenden, Schneider, Oliver, Wagner 8. Nays Messrs. Costcllo, Roche, Mcl vln, McCann, demons, O'ISoyle, Vnu ghan, Coyne 8. Mr. Vaughan then moved tho adop tion of the committee's report, but the lines remained unbroken nnd tho motion wns lost by the same tie vote. Mr. Vaughan succeeded, however, In having tho report received nnd filed. When seen nfter the meeting, ho stated that the six horses would bo returned all right, he thought, nnd snld that bo believed the ogltatlon would prevent any further repetition of such deals. "There's been a scandal attached to every horse purchase ever made by councils," said he. "and It's nbout time the thing wns stopped. This man Cobb knew nothing whatever nbout theso sales. Alt he knows Is that ex-Chief Walker, Morris V. Mor ris nnd Dr. Sltterly gave him money aggregating $260 and told him to credit It to the city. He did this, nnd ono would fancy to see the credit bill that the six horses were turned over to him and that ho disposed of them. "We've got lots of more facts about this horse deal ready to spring In case we need to. For Instance, It can be proven that one of the horses pur chased from Cobb by tho city for $200 was offered to the Keystone Brewing company for $173 a few dnys before. Tho city could afford to pay $23 more, I suppose tho dealer thought. "That's Just one little Incident. I've been travelling around pretty much tho last two weeks Investigating this matter and It's surprising all I came across. Mr. Roche and Mr. Lldstone wero tho other members of the special com mittee. LONG WAS SEEN AT STROUDSBURG Slayer of the Dunmore Police Ofllcer Supposed to Be in Hiding in Monroe County. , Tony Long, the slayer of Patrolman James Golden, of the Dunmore police force, Is still nt liberty, and Is now thought to be In hiding near Strouds burg. One of the brakemen on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, while sitting In a Strouds burg hotel, "Wednesday afternoon, saw an Italian In the place, whose build and general appearance tallied exactly with the description of Long, which he had read In Wednesday's Tribune. He scrutinized the man closely, and saw that he was of heavy build, had a black moustache, wore a black suit of good material, and on his one cheek there was a livid blue mark, a bruise such as would be caused by a blow from a club. Tho brakeman strolled quietly over to tho hotel clerk and told him of his suspicions, and advised that the sus pect be arrested. Ho was told that the man hnd spoken for a room for tho night, and the clerk suggested that once he retired, a constable bo sum moned. Shortly after this, Long, for there seems little doubt thai It was he, left the room, and a Stroudsburg ofllcer was called In. On his arrival, how over, tho man had dlsapepared, and all search failed to reveal any trace of him. The Scranton authorities wero noti fied of the occurrence, and Patrolman Keys, of Dunmore, went to Strouds burg Wednesday night. He found that a man answering the description of Long was seen lurking around the rail way station for about four hours, but had not taken any car from Strouds burg. Keys has no doubt that the man seen at Stroudsburg was Long, as thi description tallies exactly with that of Golden's slayer. He feels considerably chagrined that while the man was In the very hands of the Stroudsburg police that he should have escaped them. There Is a large Italian settlement near Stroudsburg, and Keys has ex pressed his opinion that Long Is In hiding there. Acting Coroner Paine yesterday morning performed an autopsy on tho body of Patrolman Golden nt the Lack awanna hospital. Ho removed the bul let, which lodged In the abdomen, and will hold an Inquest in tho case. The remains wero removed to Golden's undertaking establishment In Dunmore. NEW CAMP INSTITUTED. Branch of P.

It wns well known among raUrorn1! men that Trainmaster Hamilton was Superintendent Salisbury's right bow er nnd this, In a measure, accounts for their retirement within twenty four hours of each other. .Mr. Hamil ton acknowledged the fnct that he bud uslgned when nsked by a Tribune man, but would not give any reasons will you remain until yinr succes sor has been named?" he was iisVd. The reply was in the affirmative, but In all probability that will bo but a day or two, as It Is rumored that Edward M. Rlne, chief train dispatcher, will succeed him. Tho resignation of Mr. Hamilton was also confirmed by Superintendent Clarke, but no action was taken yes terday, owing to the absence of Gen eral Superintendent Russell, who was In New York conferring with President Truesdnle. BEEN HERE A YEAR. Mr. Hamilton came to the Lacka wanna railroad about n year ago from the New York, Susquehanna nnd Western railroad, where he was train master under E. E.

He stated that as yet ho was not very familiar with tho duties of his new position, but hoped to merit the re spect and confidence of the Lackawan na employes. George E.
