RESIGNED LAST WEEK.
All of these men resigned their po
sitions In council last week with the
exception of Fellows, whose term ex
pired last April. They resigned in con
formity to an agreement entered into
with the officers of the Municipal
league with relerence to these cases
which required their resignations and
retirement from public life for live
yet-is, the signing of a jvper pr.ic
tically admitting their guilt and the
raising of a purse of $2,200 for charity.
The entire amount of the purs,' has not
jet been raised. The attorneys for llie
cMj'incilmen uiycd that verdl.'ts of iii-t
Stiilty be taken, but the officers of llie
Municipal league would not agree to
anything more than a nol pros.
After the general list of jurors had
been called in the morning Mr. Torrey
and District Attorney Jones went be
fore Judge Kelly, who is presiding in
the main court 100m this week, and
Mr. Torrey made the following state
ment: "With lel'eience to fourteen of the
bribery cases on last week's trial list
which were passed until this week,
the district attorney has asked me to
make a statement to the court which
I wish to make as brief as possible. It
Is simply to the effect that the com
monwealth Is satisfied that thu inter
ests of justice and the interests of the
public will be best served by returning
nolle prosequls in these fourteen eases.
(Here he named the cases).
STATEMENTS CORRECT.
"The public press has very largely
published the statements with refer
ence to agreements which have been
made. Those published statements
have not been made by any authority
or through any communication among
the lepreFentatlves of the common
wealth or the prosecutors, but as those
statements have been confirmed by the
action of the parties the court can see
that they are correct. Beyond that the
district attorney requests the court to
accept his conviction that the public
Interests will be best served and the
end sought to be obtained by the in
stitution of these prosecutions will be
best achieved by the action suggested.
It will save expense to the public by
entering nolle prosequls in these cases,
none of which could be disposed of be
fore a jury without a long struggle,
and possibly more than one trial as
has been seen already in at least one
Instance. The glutting of the trial list
would follow and the work of the
courts be Impeded, The costs In these
cases have already been settled."
In allowing the nolle prosequls to be
entered Judge Kelly said:
"Tlie court has already consulted
with leferenco to these matters. We
understood that a motion to tills effect
would be made last week. That is tho
reason the three Judges held a consul
tation and without consulting further

court when tlie cases were disposed of
but they were represented by Attor
neys O'Rrion, Geoige S. Horn and M.

After the councilmanlc cases had
been passed upon Attorney O'Urlen
asked that tho case of the common
wealth against E. J. Malorey, who Is
charged with bribing councilmen be
continued until tho next term. County
Detective Thomas Leyshon Is tho pros
ecutor and tho Indictment was found
by the Lexow grand jury of last spring.
Mr. O'iirien said they were prepared
to go to trial last week but the case
went over until tills week and now
Major Everett Warren, who is one of
the counsel in the case, is In Wayne

and cannot be here. He said lie had
consulted with Mr. Sturges, of the Mu

sist the commonwealth in prosecuting
the case, and he had no objections to
the continuance of the case until next
term. Court permitted the case to go
over.
Tlie other bribery case against Carl
W MeKlnney, who is also chnr?ed with
bribing councilmen, was continued last
week owing to tho Illness of MeKlnney.
A MOST IMPORTANT
BANKRUPTCY CASE
Question Raised as to Whether a Coal
Company Can Be Declared an In
voluntary Bankrupt.
A bankruptcy case of great import
ance and one which interests tho busi
ness interests of the whole state of
Pennsylvania, has just been referred
to Referee in Bankruptcy Van Wor
mer, of this city, by Judge Builington,
of the United States court.
On May 5, 1800, the creditors of tho
Keystone Coal company, of Avoca,
filed on Involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy against the company, and on
May 21 the company flltd an answer
to this petition, contending that the
corporation could nol be declared an
involuntary bankrupt, because It did
not come within the provisions of the
bankruptcy law.
The bankruptcy law provides "that
all corporations engaged principally in
manufacturing, trading, printing, pub
lishing or mercantile pursuits, can be
declared Involuntary bankrupts." It
would appear at first glance that this
provision covered nearly every kind
of a corporation, but, according to tho
Keystone company, it docs not.
The company's officials claim In
their answer that a coal company is
not included in this catalogue and
that under the law they aro exempt
from being involuntarily adjudged a
bankrupt. They point out that it ha3
already been held that a water com-,
pany and a gold mining company can
not be forced Into bankruptcy.
Some two months ago, Judge Mc
Pherson, of tho United States court,
of tills state, ruled that a mining
company could not be declared an In
voluntary bankrupt, but tho attorney
for the creditors, Attorney Willard, of
this city, contends that they will have
evidence to offer at the beating which
will bring out a illfiettent existing
state of affairs than In the case in
which this ruling was handed down.
Referee Van Wormer will go to
Wllkes-Rarre to take testimony in the
case. Judge Willard will appear for
the petitioning creditors and Attorney
S. J. Strauss, of Wilkes-Barre, will
look after the company's interests.
Upwards of $100,000 worth of prop
erty is involved in the faso and
Referee Van Wormer said yesterday
that he believed tho case would to
tuken to the United States Supreme
court, no matter which side his rul
ing will favor,

It would consume the greater part of
the week, If tried, and Mr. Jones Is
anxious to clean up the list so far as
possible this week, us it is his Inst term

loy, private counsel for the common
wealth, tho following cases were con
tinued until the next term: E. M.
Quackenbush, forging trade-marks,

Quackenbush, forging trade-marks,
etc., James T. AVethcrold, prosecutor.
ORIGIN OP CASES.
These are cases growing out of tho
alleged placing on the market of Imi
tation patent medicines by Quacken
bush and others. Mr. O'Malley said It
would take the greater part of the week
to try the cases and that it was uos
slble they might be settled before the

Attorney George S. Horn presented
an affidavit from Dr. Dwyer, of Forest
City, setting forth that Joseph Kut
cavage, of Simpson, who Is charged
with assault and batten" by Constable
Henry Pierce, of Carbondale, was in
jured in a mine accident and unable to
come Into court. Attorney L. P. Wede
man, private counsel for the prosecu
tion, said they had information to tho
effect that Kutcavasre was sen on tha

he was shamming. Judge Kelly direct
ed that the actual facts with reference
to the accused be ascertained, nnd If
he Is In a fit condition, ho will be
brought In for trial.
Miss Kate Malloy, a small, deformed
little woman, pleaded guilty to selling
liquor without 'a license, on Capoua
avenue, this city, and sentence was
postponed until Saturday. A verdict of
not guilty was taken as to her mother,
Mrs. Mary Malloy, a woman almost
eighty years of age, who was charged
with running a speakeasy at the same
Place. Robert Wilson, agent for the
Municipal league, was the prosecutor.
CONSTABLE ACCUSED.
William Dougher, a constable of
Archbald, was tried on a charge of as
sault and battery on Gus Komroth,
und his son, Peter Dougher, on a
charge ofjissaull and battery on Kotn
roth's wife. The trouble was the re
sult of an effort to serve a warrant on
Komroth at his home in Archbald. The
defense was that the Komroths were
the aggressors. The jury went out a
short time before the adjourning hour
and will report its verdict this morn
ing. Fiederick Briggs was charged wi'h
larceny and receiving by M. J. Brown,
of Wlnton, Judge Kelly thought it
properly a case for the civil courts and
directed a verdict of not guilty, but
sent the jury out to pass upon the
question of costs.

was entered in' the case of P. J. Lunr,y
and Catherine Lundy, charged with
