Captain Joseph M. Dickey, one of the
temporary recelvuis of the Anglo
American Savings and Loan associa

proceedings before ex-Judge George G.
Reynolds that In a general way, so far
as he had lKen able to Judge fiom his
handling the affalts of the company
for two or three weeks, the expenses
of the company for tho last year had
been about $150,000, while the Income
had been only about $.'i0,000.
Tho hopeful thing to the shaiehold
ets of tho concern was the prediction
made by ono of the dlrectots last night
to a Tribune repot ter that the direc
tors, rather than see the shareholders
suffer, would stand an assessment of
$100,000 apiece and conserve Its assets
so that every dollar of indebtedness

SCRANT0N IN
SECOND CLASS
GOVERNOR'S OFFICIAL TROCLA
MATION ISSUED.
It Was Sent by Spoclnl Messenger
and Will Be Delivered Today.
Councils Must Act Upon It To
night or the Nineteen Extra Com
mon Councilmen Cannot Be Elect
ed for a Year Actual Chnnge Will
Not Occur Until April 1 Piospects
of a Big Fight.
Sciauton is now a city of the second
class, whether tho majority of her citi
zens like it or not. Tho following self
explanatory Aoclated Pres3 dispatch
regarding tho matter was lecelved last
night In The Tribune office.
MirrUbunr, Jan. '& oemor Mone l-Micd .1
pioikimatlon todav designating ikiatiton . a sec
ond class city. The last census slions the city
to lo entitled to belong to that cla. The
other cities ot this cUsk air: Pittsburg and Al
legheny. Coplei of the governor's proclamation
will be ficiud upon the nujor and president
ol select and eommon counclh bv a special met
segner from the executive depaitmcnt.
The messenger refeired to arrived In
the city Into last night, and will wait
upon Mayor Molr today.
Mayor Molr yesterday afternoon de
cided to call a special meeting of the
common council tonight for tho pur
pose of entering nt large upon tho
minutes of councils the governor's
proclamation as tho law dltects. Tho
select council meets In regular session
tonight so that It was not necessary
to call a i.peclal meeting of that
branch.
In addition to having tho ptoclama
tlon entered upon the minutes of both
councils the law ptovldts that it shall
be recorded In tho office of the re
corder ot deeds of the proper county.
In order to hnvo this done piomplly
the mayor will endeavor to have Uo-
cord"r Bonn on hand tonight with his
books.
Tim REASON
The reason behind tho desire of his
honor to have tho whole matter closed
up tonight Is that he believes thui tlu
extra common councilmen provUUl for
under the second cla-s city laws should
bo elected at th omlng Fbruary
municipal election.
The act of 1S03 piovldcs that the
"ptoper officers shall be elected nt tlu
municipal election occuri Ing not less
than one month after tho date of such
coillficite." Now, the February elec
tion occurs cm the third Tuerday of
that month, which falls on the nine
teenth. Jan 19 Is tontotrow, so that
In order to have tho councilmen legal
ly elected next month It will be neces.
sary to have the certificate properly
recorded tonight. If this Is not done
it would be Impossible fo elect these
extra councilmen until February, 130
at which time the next munlclpil elec
tion will be held.
Some question has arisen na to
whether the recent action of council
In appointing a special committee of
five to fix the apportionment in the
common council was entirely legal.
The act of assembly providing for the
appointment of such a committee Is
the general act governing- cities of th
second clnss, and It li contended by
many that while Scranton was still
In tho third class, her councils hnd no
right to reach out and act under :i
ptoilslon Intended foi cities of the sec
ond class.
An effoit will, therefore, be made
tonight, after the governor's citlclal
certificate has been olhclally remitted,
to hnvo this sumo commlllee re
appointed. The Infotmntlon desired,
namely, the number of taxable In
each watd, has been obtained and the
committee would be ready to report
Immediately after its ie-appolntmcnt
This would settle that able of the ques.
tlon.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
A difference of opinion also exists as
to whether councils have any legal
right to appoitlon the number of com
mon councilmen at the present time.
The act of lS'U says that this appor
tionment t.hall be mad" "In the month
ot July preceding the next municipal
t lection." Those who hold that coun
cils have the right nt the present tlum
to apportion the number of members
in the common branch say that they
me doing the neatest possible thing to
whnt the law dltects and tint It would
bo manifestly unfair to leave the wards
entitled to e.xtta councilmen without
their full representation for over a
year
Ahile Scianton will bo In reality a
eltv of the second i lass just as soon
as the governor's cettillcnte Is prep
eriy recoided, there will be no change
In her present foim of government
until after Apt 11 1. The act of 13
distinctly ptovldes tint "upon tho lltjt
Monday of April next ensuing (ntyr
the governor's certiorate), the teuns
ol all ofUcets of slid city then In
ofllce, whoso offices are suspended by
reason thereof shall clo.-o and deter
mine and the cltv cm. eminent shall ba
duly oiganlzed, nnd shall thereafter be
conli oiled nnd regulated b the laws
of this commonwealth applicable to
the vame under tho classiileatlon hero
bv lived and appointed,"
Tho present ofllreis of tho clly of the
Ihhd class, whoe olllces nre not abol
ished by the second class city chatter,
nnd this Includes all tin) ofllecis of tho
pre.scnt city, will continue to hold
ofllce until the toims lor vhlch they
were elected expire.

TRANSFER TO
ERIE ROAD
NONE OF THE DETAILS ARE
KNOWN IN THIS CITY.
Nothing Has Been Learned Here as
Yet of the Changes That Will Tol
low In the Wnke ftf the Passing of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company
and Erio nnd Wyoming Vnlloy to
the Erie Company Erie Will Prob
ably Build n Connecting Link from
Jessup to Cnihondnle.
The formal ttuuafcr of the books nt
the Rrle nnd Wyoming A'ulley Rail
read and Pennsylvania Coal company
to the I3ile company, which was ex
pected to take place yesterday morn
ing In this city, did not occur, nnd
Pennsylvania und Hrle and AA'yomlng
authorities ure unanimous In snylng
that some days will yet clnpo before
the actual tiansfcr is made.
The w Idesprcad repoi ts w hlch have
been circulated, to tho effect thnt the
deal was to bo sealed either Tuesday
or AVedncsdav, aro declared to hne
been entirely ctroneous, nnd locnl ofll
cis of the coal and tallrcmd company
sty that regarding the tlino set for the
transfer they are as much In the dnik
ns any outsider.
"The New Yoik people ate keeping
everything veiy mysterious, and tlm
news that wo got Is of meagre de
scription," Is the general plnlnt of the
panics at this end.
The 13rle and Wyoming iicople c lose J
up their accounts Tuesday night, and
all their books ate now evenly bil
nnced nnd In a condition to be handed
over to the now powets nt tho briefest
notice. With the Pennsylvania It Is
different. The woik has been but
Mnrted of closing up the accounts, and
Hie work clone nt tho mines during the
Jlisl llfteen days of January Is all to
be yet registered nnd the books made
up for the mouth.
WILL TAKH riFTnr.X DA VS.
The opciattou usually consumes
about fifteen das, nnd there Is no
likelihood that It will be completed In
any shoitcr time on this occasion.
AVhllo the books could bo handed over
to the 13ile company In an unfinished
state, still It Is not a very likely pro
ceeding. General Superintendent Sidney AA'lll
lams, of the Pennsylvania, was yester
day seen by a Tribune man, nnd in
speaking about the repoi t that all the
Pennsylvania collieries were .shutdown
for a week, In order to get them Into
.shape for their occupancy under the
new regime, said: "It's a mistaken
.supposition that we have closed down
all our mines. AA'hat we have done, Is
stopped woik at four of them, a regu
lar proceeding, adopted to curtail the
tonnage.
"All of the toal companies, you
know, have, been 1 mining their mines
at full blast since the strike. In order
to catch up with the demand. It seems
that this has been about done now,
and there's a tendency to rest a little.
For tho balance of Ibis week wo have
stopped woik nt Gipsy Grove and No.
1 collieries In Dunmore and Xo. 14 and
the 13wen at Plttston. Xo. ii Is i tin
ning here In Dunmore, and so Is No. C
in Plttston. Next week we will shut
down four others, or maybe the same
four."
XO 1XS1D13 N13WS.
Superintendent AVIlllmns declared
that he, as well as tho other loial otll
cidls wete possessed of little Inside In
foim.itlon regmdlng the future plans
foi the company, under the 13ile.
"There's a meeting of the new boaid
called In Xew A'oik today," said he,
"and It's not likely that any active
measures will be taken until the direc
tors hne completed their conference.
In tho meanwhile, everything Is going
ntong here tho same as usual and work
pt ogresses Just the same as hitherto."
A piomlnent nlllclal of the ICile and
AA'yomlug A'alley Ittrili oacl company, in
talking with a Tribune man about the
future prospects of the company, said:
