WILL NOT REINsTATE THEM.
Mayor Moir's Answer to Select
Council About Police officers.

In communication sent into select
council on Thursday night, but not
read, there being no quorum present,
Mayor MOir announced that he was in
receipt of the resolution appraising
him of the fact that select council had
refused for a second time to concur in
the remova' of Lieutenant Spellman
and PatrOlman Jones from the police
force, and requesting him to re-appoint
them.
The mayor states that the men We're
removed for cause, which cause still
exists and l must again firmly decline
to re-appoint them" He further stated
that he is responsible to the city for
the conduct of the police officers. and
he must therefore have men on the
force In whom he can repose the great
est confidence.
The removed officers have not drawn
any pay since May II, on which date
they We're removed, but it is known
that in the near future they will de-
mand pay, the lower court having de-
cided that Patrolmen Dyer and Saul,
who were removed last summer, are
entitled to their pay up to the time ot
the confirmation of this removal by
select council, This case has been ap-
pealed to higher court, however.

SIX MORE ARRESTS.
Mems Union Continues on the Trail
of the Persons Who Are Selling
Liquor Without a License.

Six more have been added to the list
of defendants in liquor cases to be
tried at the October quarter sessions.
They are:
j. Z. Morris, Fifteenth street, selling on Sun.
day.
W. s. Roos West Scranton, selling on Sunday.
John X. Edwards, West Scranton, selling with
out license.
Patrick J. Glynn, 22i1 jackson street, selling
without a license
John Lukcn, sij Capouse avenue selling with.
out license.
Thomas Z. Jones, corner of Hampton and
Twelfth streets, selling without license.
All were arrested on warrants issued
from Alderman Kasson's Office at the
instance of the Mems union and served
by Chief Agent Robert Wilson and
his men. In every instance the right
to a hearing was waived and bail en-
tered in the sum of $500.
Luken gave bail before Alderman
De Lacy, of the Seventh ward. Agent
Wilson had been instructed to have
the prisoners brought to Alderman
Kasson's office, that Attorney Beers
might examine into the reliability OF
the proffered bail Luken objected to
going to Alderman Kasson's Office and
Alderman De Lacy advised him that
he didn't have to 60 Agent Wilson
was firmly bent on following his in
structiOns, but when Frank Becker
happened along and offered to become
bondsman, Luken was allowed to give
bail before the magistrate of the Sew
enth.
That Agent Wilson has pugnacity in
keeping with his aggressiveness was
attested when he and two of his as
sistants were making the Jones arrest,
on Hampton street. When the officers
arrived there they found that some
one who had seen them shortly before
at the Edwards place had given the
alarm to Jones. The dooSswas held
shut against them, but Agent Wilson
forced 1t in and gained entrance.
Jones made show of violent oppo-
sition, but before he could do any
think Wilson throttled him and held
him pinned against the wall till he
gave up. A crowd Of fifty of Jones'
friends who made a move as If to in
terfere were held at bay by a display
Of revolvers in the hands of Mr.. Will
sons two assistants. Mr.. Jones son
in-law came in during the excitement
and, with commendable spirit, ordered
all outsiders to leave the room and
counselled his father-in-law to obey
the mandate of the law. The son-in-
law went bail.
A number of other warrants were
placed in the hands of the officers
yesterday. Among them was one for
Mrs. Lopalyner, of South Washington
avenue wife of q. Lopalyner, who was
convicted at the last term of court for
selling without a license. The Mems
union agent says that Mrs. Lopalyner
has been continuing the business at
her husbands place right along. The
husband Is serving his second term Of
six months for illegal liquor selling.

Over Peter N. Ham.

II. L. Paine. insurance man and
president of the Abingdon Turnpike

councilman from the Ninth ward to

night, when the returns of the Repub-

There were only two candidates for
the nomination, which means for the
election, as the ward is so strongly
Republican that the few Democrats in
it never make an effort to put up Il
candidate. These two candidates were
Mr.. Paine and Peter n. Haan, and a
very lively fight was put up by both.
A total vote of 309 was polled, the
general Republican vote being 900. Mr..
Paine carried all three election dis
tricts and won out by ninety-three
votes, the result being: Paine, POI;

has been a great develo pment of our
trade with China and Japan during

were easily reached in the fiscal year
1899 when the value of merchandise
exchanged with these two countries,
including the port of Hong Kong,
reached $S7 3O5.6sS against only

following 1889 witnessed q steady
increase that finally eliminated ia
