THE ARREST OF CAPT. BELToN.
Mayor of Mt. Airy Tells How lie Came
to Capture Military Company.


An official letter was received here
yesterday from Mr.. NJ L. Patterson.
acting mayor of Mt. Airy, giving addi-
tiolral particulars in regard to the arrest
and Imprisonment of the captain and
some of the men in the Granites City
Guards.
Mayor Patterson says the chief of po-
lice has taken charge of all the CON
pany's property and now has it in safe
keeping subject to order of the Adjutant
General lie continues:
Referring to the trouble which led
to the taking charge Of the equipment,
would say that private citizen who
was ON the street late Saturday after
noon. laughed or made some noise in the
hearing of Captain Bolton of the Gran
lite City Guards. Captain Bolton imme-
diately commanded his orderly sergeant
to forthwith arrest the citizen, to-wit
one John Hundley, and bring him before
him at the armory. The orderly SER
geant. and siv privates referred to arm
ed with gums, and the orderly sergeant
with bayonet fixed, advanced upon Mr..
Hundley to arrest him. Mr.. Hundley,
not understanding that they had any
authority to do this, offered resistance
whereIlpon the orderly sergeant cnarg
ed him with his bayonet and ordered the
men to take hold; whereupon one private
cooked his gun and presented it at Humid
ley. The police force happened to be
upon the spot when the occurrence took
pace, and forthwith arrested the order
ly sergeant and the private who drew
his gun, otherwise there would, in all
probability, have been bloodshed ON our
streets, as there was great excitement
among the citizens present. The cap
tain of the company was subsequently
arrested also-the three were tried be-
fore the undersigned acting mayor, and
were bound over to court under bond
of $500 each, and the captain and order
ly sergeant are now in the county prison,
having been unable to give the bond re-
quired. The bond of the private was
reduced to 500. and he has given same
and is now at liberty.
II have reliable information that the
captain and orderly sergeant and quite
number of the privates were under the
influence of liquor, some of them to such
an extent as to be unable to be at the
armory. and during the afternoon were
acting in a manner very unbecoming
members of the State Guard, and in such
manner as to elicit criticism from good
citizens OF the town. | would further
state that when the captain ordered the
orderly and priyates to go and arrest Mr.
Humdley they refused to do it, each and
every one of them so stating upon oath,
as they did not think the captain had
any right to order them to do it and did
not want to create disturbance. Upon
their refusal, Captain Bolton made yIn-
lent threats, accompanied by profane Ian
gllage as to what would be done with
them If they did not obey his order. L.
was only upon this order that they act
ed at all. There is other information Of
a damaging character which could be
furnished, if necessary"

ANOTHER MINE BOUGHT.
Scranton Coal Company Will Assume
Control of West Ridge Colliery
at North Scranton Today.

Negotiations for the transfer OF the
West Ridge collierv, on North Main
avenue to the Scranton coal company
have been practically completed. The
preliminaries have all been attended
to and the formal transfer will take
place today.
John Il. Kerr, president of the
New York, Ontario and Western Rail-
road company. of which the Scranton
Coal company is a branch conducted
the negotiations which We're entered
upon about six months ago when the
Ontario and Western first began it's
campaign for bigger share of the
Lackawanna Valley coal output
T. G. Won Storch, r. A. Clark,
George Clearwater and Alfred Har-
vey were the principal individual share
holders in the West Ridge company
The Ontario and Western company
also had a good sized holding. These
principle stockholders transfer their
interests to the Scranton Coal COM
pany and eventually the other minor
stockholders are expected to do the
same, thereby giving the Scranton
Coal company full and complete con-
troll Of the works.
The acquisition Of this new colliery
will give the Ontario and Western
company an added tonnage of $50 600
tons annually. Already the company
is carrying the output of eight or nina
of the best collierics along the upper
valley Through the Scranton Coal
company it has acquired the Pine
Brook. of Scranton; the Elk Hill Coal
and Iron company's Richmond COL
liery at Priceburg and RichmonGala
cOlliery at Richmondale and the Blue
Ridge and Ontario near Peckville.
1t also controls the shipments of the
Riverside at Peckville, the Raymond.
of which Thomas Jones and j. J. Will
liams are principal owners, and has
contracts for q share of the output of
the Temple Iron compary's Northwest
coliery and the Mt. Pleasant Coal
companys colliery on the West Side.
With the Ontario and Western
branching out after more coal and the
entrance of the new Delaware Valley
and Kingston road into the fight for
a share of the coal carrying business
some lively competition may be looked
for.

ELECTION CONTEST EVIDENCE.
1t Has Been Filed with Clerk of the
Courts Daniels.

The evidence in the Langstaff Kelly
election contest is now all ia but the
contest itself will not be i olded for
probably another year.
On Saturday transcript was filed
with the clerk Of the courts. II is con-
tained i'm thirty-two volumes of 5000
each, or 1000 pages all told. A calcu-
lation based upon the number of words
on single page shows that there are
nearly 51,n0O00n words included in the
testimony.
The commissioners Will soon COM
meme the work Of preparing their re-
ports and it is estimated that this will
consume at least six mCnths owing to
TIE necessity of constantly consulting
those 10000 pages of evidence When
these reports are presented to court,
the ballots of all those who have been
proved to be unqualified voters will be
opened and the Judges will note who
the disqualified ones voted for and
deduct these votes from the number
of votes the official count recorded in
favor of Messrs. Langstaif and Kelly.

There has been a steady and very
perceptible improvement in the man
ner in which election boards during
recent years have prepared their re-
turns" continued Mr.. Harris, "and
now there is no very great cause for
complaint on the part Of those who
have charge of the compiling ana COM
putation of the vote.
II don't know of any special reaeOn
why election returns should come to
the court in better shape than they did

an indication that the voters of the
