RESIGNATION OP T.H.WATKINB
Will Retire from Presidency of
Temple Iron Company.
It wns announced from Fhllndelphla
yesterday that the resignation ot.T.
II Wntklns from tlto presidency of tho
Temple tron company, which has been
expected for several months, 1m to go
Into clfect January 1, next. Ho Is to
be succeeded by Ooorge F. liner, of the
directorate of the Philadelphia nnd
Hearting Railroad company, who Is
now vice preseldcnt of the Temple
company.
Mr. Wntklns Is out of tho city but
at tho Temple company's ofllces In
this city confirmation of the Philadel
phia announcement was, given.
It Is Mr. Watklns' intention to re
lievo himself as much as possible from
his anthracite coal business that he
may devote his time and energies to
bituminous coal. He is tho moving
spirit In a large company which Is en
gaged In developing extensive- soft
coal tracts In West Virginia ttnd
Western Pennsylvania, nnd after tho
first of the coming year It Is his pur-
post to give these a great deal of his
attention.
It Is further stated In the Phila
delphia dispatches that the Morgan
people, who control tho Temple Iron
company, nro to buy up as many as
possible of the better collieries of tho
Lackawanna and Wyoming region and
turn them over to the Temple com
pnny. s
The main purpose ot buying up of
lite Independent collieries Is the samo
ns that which obtained In tho pur
chase ot tho Pennsylvania Coal com
pany tho removal of n constantly
disturbing element from tho coal
world and tho hotter harmonizing of
Its various Interests. Onco in full con
trol of tho situation, it is said, tho
Morgan people will move to mako an
allotment of territory which each
company Is to serve, so as to do away
with tho demoralizing competition
which now piles up expense and cuts
down prices at every big market.
This thing, it Is thought, Is just as
feasible as the allotment scheme by
which tho output is regulated and the
ruinous overstoelnkg of the market
prevented.
THIS SHOPLIFTER
WAS PARTICULAR
Woman Tried to Exchange Piece of
Alleged Stolen Dress Goods at
Goldsmith's Bazaar.
A woman who gave her name as
Mrs. Walsh and her residence r,s South
Scranton was arretted in Goldsmith's
Bazaar last night, where she was
trying to exchange a piece of goods
which she is alleged to have taken
away on Monday. She was released
from the central station lust night
on ball and will be given a hearing
before Alderman Millar this- morning.
iShe was noticed abjout the store
Monday afternoon, acting in a rather
suspicious manner, and after she left
the store tho cderk at one of :he dross
goods counters discovered that a valu
able piece of material was missing.
This was reported to the he'icl of the
department, and all the emolojes la
tho store were Instructed to keep a
sharp outlook for the peculla-!y acting
dame.
About G:iTi o'clock last night a wo
man approached one of the dresa
goods counters, and remarked: "If you
are willing, I'd like to exoliange this
piece of material." She hand.:.! over a
neatly tied parcel, which, on being
opened, was found to contain il.e
goods, which the clerk immediately
recognized as the ones which wore re
ported missing.
A sharp scrutiny of the woman, i'n.1
a hurried nod to the iloo--walker fol
lowed, and an instant later Mrj. Walsh
was being subjected to a rapid cross-,
examination as to how p.. obtained
the material. She was nnab'o to an
swer satisfneto "ly. and Patrolman
Malott was calU-.l in and escorted, her
tj the central station wlwj she re
mained until fri"nl:: seuvol bail for
Iter appearance in police com t -this
morning.
MRS. SMITH DISCHARGED.
In Scalding Eva Spangenburg She
Acted in Self Defense.
Mrs. Jennie Smith, of Oakford court,
was arraigned before Alderman Howu
yesterday and dismissed on the charge
of scalding Mrs. Eva Spangenburg.
The latter received treatment at the
Lackawanna hospital Tuesduy for her
Injuries, as told In yesterday's Trib
une. It seems that the Spangenburg wo
man wus released from the county
jail Tuesday morning, after serving a
twenty days' sentence, Imposed by
Mayor Moir. On leaving the county
Unstlle 'Mrs, Spangenburg called upon
Mrs. Smith and asked if Mr. Spangen
burg wns anywhere about tho prem
ises. She was answered In the negative,
at which, It Is alleged, that she grew
indignant, expressed disbelief of Mrs.
Smith's veracity and smashed a door,
whereat Mrs. fc'mlth nonchalantly
seized a kettle of boiling water and
gently doused Eva with It. The lat
ter, by no means daunted, then throw
nn axo through the kitchen window,
after which sho withdrew to the Lack
awanna hospital, where her scalds
were dressed. Tho warrant was thou
Issued, but Alderman Howe yester
day decided that Mrs. Smith's action
was justifiable,

HOPE OP DELAY
HAS VANISHED
GOVERNOR STONE SAYS HE CAN
NOT WITHOLD CERTIFICATE.
In a Letlor to Congressman Connell
Which Is Referred to Select
Councilman Chittenden, His Ex
cellency Says the Law Is Manda
tary Upon Him to Make tho Certi
fication and to Disobey It Would
Be a Violation of a Plain Duty
Burns Has Another Way.
Those ot the opponents of Scranton's
'transition to the second class, who
hoped to avoid the transit by having
the governor delay 'the certification ot
the census figures till legislation could
be passed keeping Scranton In the third
class, nre doomed to disappointment.
Governor Stone says he cannot with
hold the certificate.
Some days ago, Select Councilman C.
E. Chittenden, who Is one of the most
vigorous of tho opponents of tho tran
sit, wrote lo Congressman Connell, re
questing him to use his Influence with
Governor Stone to have the certificate
delayed. Congressman Connell for
wurded Mr. Chittenden's letter to Gov
ernor Stone, and this Is what was re
ceived In reply:
Commonwealth ot Penn.ylvanlj,
Executive Chamber, HaiilburR.
December 17, 11)00.
Hon. William Connell, !!ouc of Itepresentatlves,
Washington, I). C.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 1.1th Inst., en
florins letters from C. 13. Chittenden, received
today. Your attention and that of Mr. Chit
tenden in called to the act of awcmbly. ap
proved Slay 8, ISM, pane 133, dividing cities of
the state into three, cla.ve.4. Under this net
of assembly it becomes the duly of the gov
ernor to ceitlfy to any city that luw changed
its classification under the ccnsiH. I do not
tee how I could withhold such certificate, un
der tho plain piovlsions of this law, nor do I
fee how lho city of Scranton can fall or prevent
liecoinlne; a city of lue second claw, but tliii
h for thjfly of Scranton to determine, not
tor me. aM6
1 will be ei.v fjlad lo oblige jou or Mr.
Chittenden, and especially to do what the peo
plo of Seianton desire, provided I can do so
without violating the plain legal duly im
posed upon me.
1 may say that the ail ot assembly was con
slrued by the supreme court at the time Alle
cheny passed from a tliiul lo a second claw
city, and the provisions of the act upheld. 1
think tiie case will he found in the leports of
cao in the supienio court in 1SW.
I letiirn Mr. Chittenden' letter.
Very truly yours.

Please return after you are through with it,
ami oblige William Connell.
IS MUCH CAST DOWN.
Mr. Chittenden, as may be believed,
is very much cast down over tho re
ceipt of this pronunclamento of the
governor. "This practically settles the
matter," .said he yesterday to a. Trib
une reporter. "Our city has had only
Indifferent success in handling a rea
sonably good charter. It. will now be
Interesting to watch the efforts to work
what may bi called a criminal con
spiracy. This charter can only be
worked by a boss, and as a large per
centage of the Republican vote is un
alterably opposed to bosses and boss
Ism, it is a safe prediction that the
city will soon pass Into permanent
Democratic control."
It would seem that all hope of pre
venting the transition If, indeed, it is
the wish of Scranton to prevent it
is gone, but according to Attorney I.
II. Burns, there is still another way out
of the difficulty.
The law provides that the governor's
certificate shall be recorded, and la a
decision in 1S93, Justice Williams stated
that upon the recording of this certifi
cate the city, in that instant, passes
into the new class. It may be that
some of the new classification laws
have made this decision Inoperative,
but that question has never been test
ed, and If Scranton only wants a delay
In transition of a few months or so, it
can secure it by neglecting to record
Hie governor's certificate for that time.
Before any one could secure a man
damus from the Supreme or Superior
courts, to compel the city officials to
record tho certificate and bring about
the transition, the work of elinnging
the classification law could be com
pleted, HAS BEEN AMENDED.
There are some who contend that the
actual transition will not make impos
sible the passage of the legislation nec
essary to keep Scranton in the third
class. They polit to the fact that the
classification net has been frequently
amended unci that each amendment has
affected one or more cities. There Is
no reason, they contend, why the
amendments can not be made Just us
well after Scranton becomes second
class us when It Is third class.
Tho general opinion, however, Is that
the transition is inevitable and that
tho best course for Scranton is to be
gin actively to prepare for the change.
