STRIKERS STATEMENT.
Executive Committeeman Barrett's
Version Of the Sunday Night
Meeting.

The executive committee Of the
street car strikers, through M. J.
Barrett, last night furnished the fol-
cerning the meeting of Sunday night:
mo motion was made to return to
work, and consequently, no motion OF
that kind could have been declared out
of order. The motion that was de-
clared out of order was one for the
appointment Of committee of twenty
to deal with General Manager Silliman.
The motion was declared out Of order
because there is already committee
appointed, and that committee has
given the company its ultimatum.
There was no danger of disrup-
ton other than that the expulsion of
five members was discussed and re-
ferred to a committee. We feel justi-
fled in this action, because one of the
five men had previously acted on a
self-constituted committee that went
to see General Manager Silliman and
was condemned for it by our interna-
tional president.
Our position today is stronger than
it ever was and we feel that no think
ing man will say we are asking any,
thing unreasonable
The committee to which the case of
the five members was referred will, it
is expected. make report at the
meeting to be held this morning. Much
interest attaches to the outcome of
the committees recommendation and
the action of the division.

RECORDER TO MINISTERS
He Addressed Methodist Clergymen
on Municipal Government in the
Elm Park Church.

Recorder w. l.. Connell, in the
course of an informal talk on municipal
government delivered yesterday morn
ing, before the Methodist Minister'S
association, in the Elm Park church.
took up the Muehlbronner or ripper
bill, and declared it to be one of the
most admirable measures ever framed
and passed by state Legislature for
the government ofSa municipality.
The most admirable feature of the
bill, he said, is that 1t centralizes re-
sponsbility and gives the executive Of
flcers greater scope, so that If any
thing goes wrong or if an injustice be
done, the citizen can place his hand
on the man responsible. There is no
possibility of responsibility being di-
vided now. he said.
The recorder took occasion to COM
plment the clergymen present upon
the fact that Methodist ministers de-
vote their entire time and attention to
the spiritual side of their work and
very seldom meddle in affairs outside
of their province.
1t is unwse and un-American, he
said for any citizen to PREJUDICE an adj
ministration before it has got fairly
SldIteu ana DeIOre lne executive necu
has all the reins of government in his
grasp. AS an instance of this point,
he referred to the letter sent by DR..
Parkhurst to Mayor Seth Low. of New
York city, in which the latter was
threatened with dire things if he failed
to strictly enforce the excise law. 1t
was unfair, he said to take it for
granted that Mayor Low intended to
wink his eye at violations of the law
before he had an opportunity to set the
great wheels of the administratio in
thorough working order.
The clergymen present at the meet
ing We're as follows: Revs. C. B.
Henry, j. n. Bailey. Fl. G. McDermott
II. A. Greene G. c. Lyman, F. P. Doty,
Gustav Bobilin II. c. Newing, S. C.

WILL ASK $4,000.
Recorder Connell to Request Council
to Appropriate That Amount
for Handling of Smallpox.

Recorder w. l.. Connell stated YES
terday afternoon that he will send a
brief message to common council on
Thursday night requesting that an
emergency fund of $4,000 be appro-
priated for the bureau of health the
same to be expended by the superin-
tendent OF the bureau in case of the
further spread of smallpox. He will
request also that the ordinance appro-
priating this amount be passed as
quickly as possible.
There were no new developments in
the situation yesterday, no new cases
of the disease having been reported
to the bureau of health to the contin-
ued surprise of the authorities. The
Parry girl, who is i'll with the disease
in the Mear's building in West Scran-
ton, is reported to be in a very dam
gerous condition and fears for her re-
covery are expressed.
Work on the emergency hospital on
the West Mountain is being pushed
with all possible speed and everything
will be In readiness for use by to-
morrow. The fact that no new cases
have been reported Is not at all deterr-
ing the authorities from taking every
precaution.
The vaccination epidemic is still
spreading and nearly every other per-
son on the street wears a doleful ex-
preston and says things when any
body touches his or her arm. The pris.
oners at the county Jail have all been
vaccinated during the past few days.

CHARGED With ASSAULT.
William Bair Accused by George
Chamberlain, Motorman, Held
Under $500 Bail.

William Bair, foreman of the Lack
awanna Telephone company's con-
struction gang, was held under $500
bail yesterday afternoon by Magis-
trate Howe on a charge of assault and
battery preferred by Stephen Dyer, of
the Scranton Railway company, acting
in behalf of George Chamberlain, a
motorman employed by the company.
A hearing in the case was conducted
in the municipal building in the after
noon.
The story told by Chamberlain was
to the effect that on Thursday morn
ing last while his car was stopped on
South Main avenue near Rock street
he noticed his conductor and the driv-
er of a brewery wagon in fight. He
went over to them and attempted to
separate them and while doing so was
struck from behind on the head by
some person. He couldn't identify Bair
as the man who had struck him.
S. B. McKeevey and James Anthony
comprising the crew of another car
which was nearby at the time of the
incident, swore positively that Bair
struck Chamberlain on the head with
out provocation. Chamberlain, he said,
had not struck the driver of the brew
cry wagon but was simply trying to
take his whip out of his hands.
Attorney John h. Scragg, who rep
resented the defendant. sought to get
the witnesses to admit that Chamber
lain and his conductor We're striking
the brewery wagon driver with black
jacks and that Bair only interfered be-
cause he couldn't stand by and see two
men pounding one, but they stuck to
their stories and persisted in saying
that Chamberlain was merely trying to
take the whip away from the driver.
Attorney Scragg offered to prove by
fifteen witnesses that the stories told
by the street car men We're absolutely
false and that Bair merely interfered
for humanity's sake. Magistrate Howe
stated that 1t was not necessary to

a strong public sentiment in favor OF the public
franchise corporations bearing large proportion
Of the municipal taxation. As explained TO YOU,
there have been reasons in the past, which also
apply to the present and the near future which
have made and still make IL impossible for the
Scranton Railway company to increase its burden
OF taxation until the reasons referred to are no
longer in force.
We fully appreciate, however, that the strong
public sentiment referred to must be recognized
and met by Our company to as great an extent
and as soon as the earning power of our company
will enable it TO do so. The conditions which
have surrounded our company during the past,
present conditions and the prospects Of the fu.
turc, were clearly explained to you and any
sources OF information within our reach are of.
fcred to you for veriication Of the statements
which we have made TO you, TO what this com.
pany has done in the past, is still doing. and
proposes to do for the city of Scranton, and also
as 10 the methods by which we have arrived at
the amount of taxation which the estimated f,,.
ture earning power Of the company will cnabl,

We now desire to make voluntarily, through
You, to the municipal authorities OF the city Of
Scranton, the following proposition:
First-That the Scranton Railway company will
agree to pay to the city the following percentages
per annum upon the gross earnings of all of its
lines operated within the city limits, beginning
with the year 1901:

hear the defense and held Bair under
5000 bail which was furnished.
There was much unfair criticism OF
the magistrates action after the hear
ing, 1t being contended that he should
have heard the defense. In explaining
his action he stated that even If fif-
teen or twenty witnesses had sworn
directly contrary to the three street
car men lie would still have been
obliged to hold Bair under bail because
of this very fact When there Is di-
rect contradiction of sworn testimony,
he said, the magistrates only choice Is
to send the case to court and let jury
pass on the evidence. His action In
refusing to hear the defense was mere
ly to save time.

CURED and who has made an examna-
tion of the premises since, stated that

time of the accident, had collapsed.
He stated that he himself had seen
twice as much lumber piled up in the
room as was in 1t on Saturday, and the
