OFFICER MALoTT IN DANGER.
With Broken Leg He Held Crowd Of
Angry Foreigners at Bay.

Special Officer John Malott, while
conveying a prisoner tn the North End
station house at . o'clock yesterday
morning, slipped upon some ice ana
fell, breaking his right leg.
Malott was detailed to be present at
q Lithuanian wedding, on Thompson
street Bulls Head. All went well un-
Ill after l2 o'clock. when the wedding
guests grew hilarious and some of the
more ambitious ones conceived the
idea Of hurting stones at the house.
Malott went outside to quell the dis
turbance and was himself made a tar
get for the missiles He singled out
the leader and started 10 the North
End station house with him, followed
by fifteen or twenty angry Lithuan-
ians.
Things began 10 look serious and
Malott was forced TO resort to his
club. II was while welding this suc-
cessfully that the stretch of ice was
encountered, and Malott slipped, sus-
taining the above injury.
While lying there helpless the
drunken Iithuanians became quite ag-
sressive until the ohiceT drew his re-
volvcr and threatened to shoot the
first man who approached him. This
curbed the crowds enthusiasm, and
gave one of the men in the house time
to reach the Niagara Hose company's
building. The permanent men were
aroused and responded with the hose
cart. Malott was placed in the cart
and conveyed to the hose house, and
the Lackawanna hospital ambulance
responded He was taken to that in
stitution about o'clock yesterday
morning.

THE LEGALITY OF
THE APPORTIONMENT
City Solicitor Expected to Affirm
That the Law Was Disregarded
and the Men Cannot be Seated.

\ great deal of interest canters in
the opinion which City Solicitor Fos-
burg has been directed by the common
council to prepare regarding the legal
ity OF the recent apportionment of the
additional members which that branch
is allowed under the present second
class city act.
Those who have spoken to the solici-
tor upon the matter express the firm
belief that he will decide that the APP
portionment was not made in accord
ance with the law and that, according
~, the additional members who are TO
be elected at the February election
cannot take their seats.
The Democratic members Of council
appear to have dropped all interest in
the matter, apparently safe in theil
belief that when April comes around
the new members can be prevented
from taking their seats by the existing
Democratic majority of eleven in the
common branch. This would bring the
new members into court with a petit
ton for a mandamus to compel coun-
ell to seat them and the whole question
would be thus made ripe for a judicial
opinion.
There are few members of the Com-
mon council, including at least one
Republican. who believe that an effor,
should be made at once to test the
certificates of nomination which have
been filed, to thus prevent, if possible
the election of the additional members
and thereby save the city a deal ol
litigation in the future.
A question exists AZ to whether
court would consider a contest of the
certificates, on the ground that Tho
recent apportionment was not made
according to law. \ well known law.
yer stated to Tribune man the Other
day that certificates had been contest
ed in the past in this county only or
the plea that the primaries We're no
properly conducted; that fraud existed
or that there was some technical omis
| sion or errors in the papers them

possible TO have Il better condition In

output of coal, however, is somewhat
