mon ThoimiK, J. F. Muf'anii and I'M
wuril Junius. Jr. It was oven nuirij
sensational than nny of tin invceillitB
tha liters.
The ilofonilnnts wanted to waive a
tii'urliiR. but ns their attorney, Josejih
o'lirleu, would not admit of n-eord
that there was iobabli cause for the
prosecution a precaution against a
suit for malicious, prosecution the a t

In the demand. K. 13. St urges ap
peared as prosecutor In the cases
against Jtessrs. McCnnn and Thomas,
and Agent Uobert Wilson In those
jiKalnst Jtcssrs. 'Williams and James.
Mr. Gallagher said that while he
was employed as claim ugent or the
Seranton Hallway company, in IMK-'W,
his services were besought by the old
telephone company to secure the pap
sago of certain nullifying amendments
to the ordinance then before select
council granting a franchise to the
new telephone company and that ho
secured $1,S0() from the old company
to carry on this work.
How this money was distributed and
how tho lobbying against the fran
chise proceeded was described in :1s
tall by the witness.
DETAILS OF THK STORY.
lie said he conferred with Superin
tendent Richard O'Urlen, of the 'NY.sl
ern Union, ubout the work and also
secured, through Sir. McCann, an as
surance from V. F. Hallsteud that the
latter was actively opposed to the new
company. Furthermore, he stated that
the money he received for his services
was paid him by Mr. Jialoney.
Mr. McCann. the witness said, was
delegated by him to s.ec Councilman
Kearney, Thomas, Melvln, Shea, Fel
lows, O'Boyle. Frablc, Coyne and Ale
Andrew. The witness himself saw Mr.
toss, Mr. Finn and Air. Williams.
Gallagher says he does not remem
ber whether or not he mentioned
money,, to Air. Ross.- The latter told
him he was In lavor of the new tele
phone company and wanted to see
competition. Air. Finn was also found
to he favorable to the new company
and no mention wo.s made to him of
any money. He received a kind of as
surance from Air. Williams that he
would support tho death-dealing
amendments, and was satisfied Air.
Williams would be in Hue all right
because of his being a Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western mine fore
man. Tho witness also saw Air. Coyne, he
says, and told him there would be $130
in It for him if he voted for the amend
ments. Air. Coyne said nothing and
witness was not sure of Coyne's vote.
JIOXKY DISTUIHUTKD. $
The $l,SO0 was distributed among
twelve councllmcn, Oallagher says. He
divided It into sums of $150, placed
these in envelopes, wrote tho nnnvs
of tho twelve councilmen on them and
entrusted their delivery to Air. Alc
Cann. Sometime later tho latter met
the witness and told him "Dick Wil
liams made a holler and I had to go
and get $200 for him." Another time
Air. McCnnn, he snya, told him thut
O'Boyle, Thomas and McAndrew had
accepted $!00 apiece from the new com
pany and intended to vote for the
franchise, but Air. Hall&tead "put ids
foot down and stopped McAndrew from
changing his vote."
Gallagher then proceeded to tell of
tho alleged attempted holdup by tho
"Fourteen Spaniards," who, it is al
leged, appointed a committee to de
mand that the trolley company should
pay each of them a stated salaty of
$J5 a month for looking after trolley
company legislation. The demand wan
transmitted through tho witness lo
General Alanagor Silllmnn at Harvey's
lake, where he was visiting President
Clark. The witness brought back tin.
answer that the company would not
stand for any such thing.
Gallagher remembered having given
Alorrls V. Alorrls $25 for himself and
$25 for Simon Thomas some time after
ho had been before tho board of revl
slan and appeal to secure a reduction
in tho nssessmrnt of trolley company
property. Air. Thomas afterwards ad
mitted to him, he says, that the money
was received, Alessrs. Alorrls and
Thomas were members of tho board of
ruvislon and appeals.
TROLLT3Y COMPANY MONEY.
Gallagher further claimed that ho
gave $25 of trolloy company money In
an envelope to Air. AVIIIIams at tho
ball park. July 4, 1S9D, and the suniu
day handed a similar sum to Air.
.Tamea on Lackawanna avenue as tho
latter was hurrying to take a train.
About that same time he gave Air.
Alelvln, he ulleges a similar "present."
Tho witness and Morgan Sweeney
wero together whan they met Air. Alel
vln on the street. Gallagher said: "I
havo a llttlo jirlao package hero frr
you. Tom." Sweeney remarked: "It
might be a blank, Tom." Air. Alelvln
replied: "No, Bill never gives me any
blanks." Ho also told of Air. SHI'.mau
having sent some money to Air. Alelvln
when tho latter was at the state Demo
cratic convention In Harrlsburer.
Select Councilman T, J. Coyne was
put on tho stand and examined with a
view of eliciting some information re
garding the alleged meeting of eleven
select councilmen at the St. Cloud dur
ing tho afternoon and evening preced
ing the meeting In Fobnmry when tho
franchise ordinance waB Dually passed.
The witness denied that hero wero
eleven councilmen there und said ho
thought there were only three or four.
He did not know who paid for their
suppers. He did not see T. H. Brooks
there and whon asked If ho saw An
drew Heuley there replied that he dirt
not know Mr. Healey,
After leaving tho hotel to go to tho
council meting he walked down town
and met T, It, Hrooks. They talked
for a rliuo mid tho witness told Mr,
Brooks ho was with him; that Air. Lov
crhig, a buperiuteudent ut out of tot
Greenwood Coal company's mines, and
a member of the Lackawanna township
school board, which employs Mr.
Coyne, had asked him to vole for the
franchise and ho proposed to do so.
WHY HE CHANGED.
The witness admitted that he had
not always voted In favor of tho fran
chise. After having voted against It
once, ho was Induced to vote for It by
his life-long friend and neighbor, C.
G. Holand. When ho again votcil
against It, ho was Impelled to do so by
hearing It stated on tho street that he
had received $C0O for voting for It. Ho
decided then never to voto for It again.
Air. Coyne denied that he ever re
ceived a piece of real estate for voting
for the mensuro, and explained an
$1,800 deposit' he made In one of tho
banks In February of 1S!!, by saying
(hat h'. borrowed tho money from his
brother and used It In paying for a
house he was then building.
T. It. Brooks was put on tho stand
and asked a series of questions lending
to bring out an admission that money
had been used by the now company In
securing the franchise from councils.
Air. Brooks said he was a stockholder
In the company and had seen many
of the euoncllmcn In an effort to In
duce them to favor the now company's
franchise but never even mentioned
money to any of them. The council
men he saw were for the most part
personal fi lends, lie knew nothing of
Ihe meeting at the St. Cloud and had
no knowledge whatever of any mem
ber of the company paying money tn
councilmen. He further said he never
heard that rile voles for tho I'ranehlHo
had cist from $1,S00 lo ?3,"iU0 apiece.
HEARING ADJOURNED.
The hearing was adjourned at the
conclusion of Air. Brooks' examination
until 7.H0 o'clock tonight.
Although the hearing was widely ad
vertised there was, not a large attend
ance of spectators. Alderman Fuller's
ollice was not more than half (Hied.
NOT A LEGAL CLAIM.
Answer of the City Clerk to Barber
Company s Mandamus.
November 9, last, Ihe Barber Asphalt
Paving company secured from court a
rule for an alternative writ of manda
mus directed lo City Clerk Alurtln T.
Lavelle to compel him to show cause
why he lefused to draw a warrant, as
directed by an ordinance of councils,
for a $0G claim of the Barber company
for the city's share of tho expense in
paving in front of the Handley build
ing on Penn avenue, near Spruce
stieet. Saturday morning Olty Clerk
Lavelle Hied an answer setting forth
that the claim was illegal because tho
work was never duly authorized and
because, at all events, there is no ap
pioprlation available to meet the bill.
The ordinance on which the claim Is
based "assures the payment of one-half
the expense of the pave recently laid,
etc.," and in its second section pro
vides that "upon the passage ot this
ordinance, and an appropriation being
available for such purposes, the prope
city olllcers shall draw and issue n
city warrant in the sum of $flfi to the
Barber Asphalt Paving company and
charge lo appropriation for Judgments
and incidentals."
In his answer Air. Lavelle says that
the claim is invalid because tho paving
work was never authorized by an or
dinance or resolution, and that the
Judgments and Incidentals fund has
only $n,277.29 remaining In it and that
judgments far In excess of that
amount, antedating tho Barber claim,
are lying against it.
Pointing out by that Section , Arti
cle 4, Act of 18S9, It is a penal offense
for a city otilcer to draw, counturslqn
or pay a warrant for a claim against
the city without previous authority of
law, Air. Lavelle declares that he will
not draw the warrant hi question until
peremptorily commanded to do so by
court.
AFTER SIX LONG YEARS.

DOWNFALL OF
THEJNDIANS
'MAS ELEVEN SATURDAY
DEFEATED OARBONDALE.
The Local Team Scored. Eleven Points
and Prevented tho Carbondale In-
' dians from Crossing the Line.
Yale Administered Crushing Da
feat to Princeton by a 20-5 Scor
nnd Pennsylvania Beat the In
dians Lafayette Surprised Cornell
Downing the Ithncans 17-0.
Saturday afternoon was ninrked by
weather ugly and disagreeable enough
to cause even tho hardy average foot
ball player to turn up his rubber-protected
nose and sniff scornfully, A
eohl, drizzling rain fell In the early
part of the afternoon, which at llrst
bore a distant resemblance to snow,
but later turned Into a stinging hall.
At Athletic park the ground was sog
gy and muddy, and tho gloomy atmos
pheric conditions seemed to dampen
the spirits of the twenty-two warriors
of St. Thomas college and the (.'arhon
dale Indians, who battled for supie
lnaey. St, Thomas put Into the Hold n
crippled team, but nevertheless ex
perienced little dltllculty In downing
tho opposing players by the score of
11 to 0. Roth Klrkwood and Vaughan,
the two fast little college ends, were
kept out of the game by sickness and
Injuries, but Alanley played a strong
game at right end, and Kennedy did
well on the other side of the line.
lladglns. who has been such a tower
of strength to the St. Thomas back
field throughout tho season, deserted
the local eleven and went back to his
first love, the Indians, with whom In
seasons past he has fought iu many a
hard battle. This necessitated a shake
up In the collegians' line-up and A.
McDonald was sent to left half back
nnd big Joe AIcDonald took the hitter's
place at lert tackle.
The game was not marked by any
particular features save AIcAndrews'
end running. The little stocky half
hack time after lime ripped around the
Indians' ends for long gains, lladglns
and Hanson excelled for the Indians.
Kneh of these made good gains when
ghen the ball and also played strongly
on the defense. Roth of St. Thomas'
touchdowns were made by Captain
O'lloro and from the first of these
Quarter Rack O'lloro kicked a pretty
goal. The line-up.

Yale Defeated Princeton.
Vale's te.im of giants brought woo
and consternation to the hearts of tho
student population of t!d Nassau Sat
urdav afternoon, und after an after
noon of heart-breaking play, the score
announced was Yale :!!, I'rlncelon 5,
ligures calculated to make Captain
Pell and his team of sore in spirit and
sore In body heroes seek consolation
in thoughts of victory next year.
Yale won out by continually batter
ing to pieces the lighter Princeton
line.
Yale's guards made their Tiger oppo
nents look like pygmies, and in fact
there was such a great difference In
weight In the two elevens that from
the ntnrt defeat .seemed Inevitable for
I'rlncelon. Stlllman and Bloomer, tho
two Yale tnckles, were bigger men
than the Princeton guards, and time
after time they wero driven into the
orange and black line with a force
which earned all before II.
Princeton's lone score resulted from
Fullback Alattls' drop kick goal from
the Held In the early part of the
first half, shortly after Yale secured
a touchdown. During the greater part
of the game, Yale was in possession
of the ball, and on these occasions
Perry Hale, the full back, and Brown,
Bloomer and Stlllman, that quartette
of giants, would be repeatedly sent
against the Tiger line for long plunges
through tackle and guard.
Bosey Reiter, the veteran Princeton
half back, was the only man on the
Jersey team who could be trusted to
gain with the ball. On one occasion
ho picked the ball up on a fumble and
was down tho field with It, on what
looked like a run for a touchdown. lie
had a clear field before him, and cheer
after cheer rose up from the Prince
ton benches ns tho Meet-footed half
back dashed past the waited lines, his
long hair streaming and the pigskin
pressed close to his Jersey, Coy, tho
Kll end, was nfter him, however, and
by a superb running tnekle, threw him,
after ho had gone forty yards.
Tho game was a great victory for
Yale, and theio was rejoicing beyond
measure In New Haven Saturday
night.
Indians Against U. P.
lOleven dusky warriors with aboricl
mil cognomens, ranging all tho way
from Redwater to Heaver, nuido their
appearance on Franklin Field, Phila
delphia, Saturday afternoon, and for
seventy minutes made n number of
stalwart young gentlemen who repre
sent tho University of Pennsylvania
work us they have not worked sinoa
the intellectual Harvard eleven mop
ped up tho gridiron with them,
Tho Phllr.delpliluiis won, but tho vic
tory wasn't a particularly glorious
one. They outweighed their Redskin
opponents and superior stiength gave
them tho game, 1C-0. The Indiana
scored by rushing tho ball down tho
Held, iu a series of clnvor, heady plays,
bringing tho oval a low feet from tho
line, when big Wheelock launched
through tho Quakers for a touchdown.
Penn scored two touchdowns and an
additional live points by Potter's mag.
nltlcent drop-kick goal from the 10
yard line.
Lafayette Defeated Covnoll,
Tho great surprise of Saturday was
at Kaston, where I.afayetto mode Cor
nel look llko a prep, school eleven, to
tho tune of 17-0, In less than two
minutes of play in the first half, Piatt
made a great elghty-flve-yanl run for
a touchdown, and this seemed to tako
tho lfe c mj '"! out of lli Itliu
cans. John llorun, of this city, who has
played ut guard und tackle during the
majority of Lafayette's games, wus
taken behind tho line and played a
splendid game at hulf buck. Regard
ing his work, the Philadelphia Press
says: "The team which Lafayetto
played today was much stronger than
any that has represented her this sea
son, Hnran's removal to half back
came as a surprise tn everybody, but
his work today was very creditable.
Ito seldom failed to gain, but ho did
not strike the linn with the usual dash
or a half back,"
I.afayetto scored another touchdown
In the llrst half, and Cute kicked a
Held goal, but In the second half the
KnBtonlans contented themselves with
playing on the defensive and there
was no scoring,
Columbia easily defeated the Naval
Cadets at Annapolis, by tho score of
11-C 'Weokos made both touchdowns.
