RUDDY AND O'MALLEY
ARE BADLY INJURED
At Hospital Where They Went for
Treatment They Told Queer Stor
ies of How They Were Hurt.
James Kuddy, of Cupouse avenue,
aged twenty-two, was tvcelvotl at tho
Lackawanna hospital last night with
a knife wound on his left hip. Ruddy
Is very letlcent regarding tltevnftalr,
and at flist refused to give any expla
nation ns to how ho had been Injuicd.
Ruddy walked to the hospital, and
clalnietl that he had fallen down and
cut himself. The wound bled profuse
ly and for a time It looked ns If tho
result might be perlous.
Shortly ufter Ruddy appeared, an
other young fellow, giving his name
us Joseph O'Malley, of Nay Aug,
walked into the hospital and nuked to
bo treated for a scalp wound and a
gash over tho eye. O'Malley told a
story of being struck by a Delaware
and Hudson train and hurled some
fifteen feet. Ho did not pretend to ex
plain how he could be struck by a
fast-moving train and escape with so
few Injuries.
Sergeant Rldgeway wns Informed ot
Ruddy'H condition nnd went down to
the hospital to seo him. To him, Ruddy
told of getting Into a quarrel with n
party of friends at tho corner of Lin
den street nnd Franklin avenue, which
ended In his being out on tho hip, by
whom or by what he professed Ignor
ance. O'Malley, It is thought, was Injured
at the same time.
An application was made In coutt
Saturday by Franklin Howell for the
ttppolntmcnt of a commission to In
quire Into the sanity of his sister, Miss
Jennie Howell, whom he alleges Is
about to marry a man named Kdvwird
Dean, some twenty years her senior.
Miss Howell possesses a considerable
fortune and her brother fears that
by her marrying Mr. Dean she will
be sacrificing her personal Interests
and her future happiness. He fcays she
Is now wasting away her fortuna In a
reckless manner.
Attorney Charles It. Pitcher was ap
pointed as commissioner to tnko testi
mony In the case and the hearing will
be set for a date In tho near future.
The announcement of Mr. Howell's
action caused much surprise among
the friends of both Mr. and Miss How
ell. It wa3 qulto generally known that
the young lady was engaged 'to Mr.
DJan, but It wns not known that there
wns any serious objection to ?uch a
step upon her part.
Mr. Howell contends that he Is act
ing purely for the best Interests ot
his Mster; that he Is prompted solely
by a desire for her welfare and that
he only took the step after serious con
sultation with her friends and rela
tives. He believes It Is the proper
coui'83 to pursue to forestall anv pos
sibility of her losing her fortune.
Miss Howell has the impression that
her brother's Intentions are selfish and
that he Is placing a barrier between
her and her future happiness.
Mr. Dean Is a widower, 48 years of
nge, and wan formerly in the service
of the government. He Is a resident
of New Jersey and cultivated Miss
Howell's acquaintance during a so
journ at Atlantic City last summer.
He asserts that Miss Howell Is fully
capable of deciding for herself what
course she ought to pursue In any mat
ter. Since D;an met Miss Howell In
Atlantic City 'he has been In this city
almost constantly and has been most
devoted In his attentions.
In view of the prominence of the
Howells In feoclety the announcement
of court proceedings caused a sensa
tion and the outcome of the case will
bo awaited with Interest.
All of tho parties concerned In the
case were seen yesterday, but declined
to be Interviewed, claiming that the
matter will be satisfactorily adjusted
by tho court.
Franklin nnd Jennie Howell are chil
dren of tho late Dantel Howell, who
made n fortune In coal mining opera
tions In this city. Upon his death he
left a fortune to be divided among his
two children that was reputed to be
at least $400,000. Franklin Howell has
been prominent In banking and Invest
ment circles of this city for many
years. His s'-tar attained her ma
jority some yea.3figo. She has nevet
been very strong physically. With her
brother sho occupies a handsomely ap
pointed home on Scranton street, West
Scranton.
"Until further notice the tiausfer
system will be continued in Uso as
heretofore," Is tho language of en or
der Issued last evening by Qoner.il
Mnnager Frank Sllllman, of the Scran
ton Railway company.
When asked to define what "until
further notlco" meant, Mr. Bllllman
said tho order ho had Issued contained
all tho Information necessary for the
public, and ho declined to discuss the
matter further.
The Joint resolution of councils, de
claring the franchises of the Scranton
Railway company forfeited It the com
pany refused to continue the Issue of
transfers, wns served upon Mr. Sllll
man Satutday. Yesterday the obnox
ious order was revoked.
The rescinding of the order, for a
time at least, abolishing the transfer
Is taken as an evidence that tho com
pany has awakened to th'o fact that It
made a most Impolitic move when It
Issued the now famous order ot Janu
ary 7.
It will take years to remove the evil
effects It l'.us left In tho minds of tho
public and tho company will mirror In
a bundled different ways. In the
courts It Ih llkelv to faro badly at tho
hands of lurors. and whatover tho
company gets from councils in the fu
ture will be carefully examined by the
public. They will Insist that their In
terests bo properly safeguarded.
"From this time forward, the Scran
ton Railway company will have to do
business with the city on u stilctly
business basis." wos the way one
councilman expressed It last night.
"Thete an 111 be no more donations of
valuable rights to Unit concern. It
will give value for everything It ie-celves."
uncle was Major John Reynolds, who
died In Liverpool a. nhort tlmo ago
from the effect of wounds sustained
while fighting In South Africa.
Tho ward ot the deceased Is the
daughter ot a brother otllcer who died
In India some years ago. After thnt
sad event sho was cared for by Rey
nolds as If she was his own daugh
ter. It was hl9 hope that his nephew
would marry his ward and with it
view to encouraging this Idea he
shaped his will.
Fate decreed that this should not
be.
Olll has never seen his uncle's ward,
but notwithstanding this ho does not
hcsltuto to say that she Is not lor
him. A certuln pair ot bright eyes
have robbed all other women ot nny
special charm for him.
"I did not hesitate a moment In
making a choice," he said In talking
about tho matter. "What Is five
thousand pounds n compared to a
life's hanplnosH. Money Is a good
thing, but It la not everything, und
with mo It would not weigh for nn
Imtnnt against the woman I hope will
one day bo Mrs. William S. Olll."

SOLICITOR VOSnURQ'S OPINION.
When Interviewed by n Tribune re
porter Satutday, City Solicitor A. A.
Vosbursf stated that he did not onto
to discuss the wisdom or lack of wis
dom on the part of the Scranton Rail
way company In declaring their In
tention not to Issue transfer tickets:
but thnt, as law ofllcer of the tlty, of
course he would have to sustuln the
provisions of the several ordinances
requiring transfetn to tie l"ued, to the
best of his ability.
"In view of the misunderstanding."
said he. "with respect to the latter
clause of the icsolution which I pre
pated for Select Councilman Vaughan,
I think It only right to explain that
ai I view the law, affirmative action
should be taken by a municipality de
viating a revocation or forfeiture of
permission previously given for the
occupation of city streets, as a pre
liminary matter, beforn the Institu
tion of legal proceedings to have a
forfeiture declared by the rotirts. Our
own court hold. In the case of Arch
bald borough against the Street Rail
way company, that In the absence of
such affirmative action, the burgess
and street commissioner of that bov
ough had no right to prevent tho lay
ing of tracks by the company upon
the streets, even though the company
had not compiled with the provisions
of the ordinance giving It the right to
do so.
"In other words, until the permis
sion to pa occupy streets is revoked,
It stands: und this is the first pre
liminary step looking to the legal
declaration by the courts, ot the for
feiture of the franchise. If the com
pany continues to Issue transfer, then
that will be the end ot the matter, so
far ns a forfeiture or l evocation ot
permission Is declared upon that
ground."
FORTUNE AND WIFE
FOR ACTOR GILL
Embarrnbslng Thing About It Is
That He Must Take Doth or
Leave Both Gill's Decision.
At the nett meeting of tho select
council. I). y Vaughan will lnttoduce
an ordinance which will prevent tho
SJcrnnton Railway company from em
ploying unskilled men to operate Its
cars.
The ordinance provides that us mkiii
as It Is passed councils shall proceed
to elect for a term of one year u board
of examiners, consisting of three men,
who shall have had long practical ex
perience In the running of electric
ttteet curs. These shall meet and or
ganize, and then fctt a time for the
conducting of nn examination.
On that occasion all men employed
by the street railway companies In the
city as motormen nnd conductots nte
to ptesent themselves for examination.
They must satisfy tho boatd of exnm-
Inets thnt they are thoroughly ac
quainted with the duties of their posi
tions, and upon their so satisfying the
board they shall bo granted certificates
which shall penult them to run a car
on any streets within the city limits.
Any motomutn or conductor who
shall full to secure such a. certificate
w Ithln blx days ufter the date set for
the examination shall be liable to ar
test and a fine. Any policeman Is
given the power and authotlty at nnv
lime to demand of any motornian or
conductor thnt he show his certificate,
and upon his fnllute to produce It. he
shall 'bo liable to arrest.
Mr. A'aughan, conversing regarding
the ordinance yesterday to a Tribune
man, said that It had been submitted
for consideration to some of the best
lawyers In the city nnd had been pro
nounced by them to bs perfectly Ifg.tl.
"It Is n measure," said he, "designed
to Insure the safety of the large num
ber of our citizens who use the trolley
cats. In tlili city, with Its many hills,
It Is ubsolutely necessary that only
Hkllled men be peimltted to ouetate
the htteet ears. 1 am not afraid to
slate, also, that It Is designed to pre
vent the Importation of unskilled ttol
ley hands, in case we have onothcr
street car strike In this city.
The linger number ot the men Im
ported during the recent strike had
very little exoetleneo In the bundling
of street ours, and If the company had
attempted to tun very many cars, and
If the people had consented to tide In
them, there might have 'been serious
accidents. I don't think we will have
any trouble In passing this ordinance."

RED HOT PRIMARIES.
District Attorney W. It. Lewli took
the preliminary steps Saturday to have
tho court pass upon the question of
whether or not the new county otllclals

population of over l."0,000. Mr. Lewis
Is acting In behalf of all the county
officials in having thl.s matter deter
mined, as till are affected by It. I ,
Up to this time the county oillclaW '""

every Instance amount to much more
than the salaries, in some Instances
to more than three times as much.
While It has been announced by the
