THE SCIt ANTON TRIBUNE MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 1895.
OIip Neighbors Douto the
WILKES-BflRRE.
Tho Tribune haa opened a branch of
fice, at No. 2, Lannliig building, Public
Square, Wllken-Uurre. for tho transaction
of business. The publisher proposo to
extend the circulation of The Tribune In
Wllkes-Hurre nnd the surrounding towns,
nil to that end will present a very com
ploto department of Luiorne county news.
Vor success In this undertaking deiwnd
enre Is pinned solely upon the superiority
of The Tribune n a purveyor of all the
tiews of tho dny domestic, foreign, lomil.
commercial and flnnnclul. The general In
terests of the people of WIlkcs-lUuTo and
the Wyoming valley will have In The Trib
une an earnest ndvocato, editorially and
otherwise. It Is the purpose of the pub
lishers ttt Ihhuo a newspaper ns valuable
to tho general publlo as the metropolitan
dallies, and deliver' It to the people
throughout northeastern rennsylvanla
from three to live hours earlier than the
Philadelphia and New York papers cun
reach them.
Progress of Grow County.
The commissioners appointed by the
povernor to survey tho territory pro
posed to be incorporated In the new
county of Grow are at work running
tho lines, driving stakes and perform
Inp tho dutliw penerally devolving upon
them. Luzerne county, as now consti
tuted, contains 926 miuare miles. The
territory proposed to be cut off con
tains about 420 square miles, leuvlni? t
tho mother county a little more than
690. If Cirow county shall really be
erected I.uzerno will be a peculiarly
shaped territory. The line of the pro
posed new county will run within ten
miles of Wllkes-Uarre nt some points,
but 89 Foster and llazle townships are
rot Included In the new county a con
necting: link must be left. This Is done
by a comparatively narrow strip. It
has the appearance of a loir, with Foster
and Hazle townships forming a-big
fxt at the end of It.
The projectors of Grow county havo
apparently been careful to Include
enough territory ns well as enough pop
ulation to ussure a favorable report
from the commissioners, at least on
those two Important points. The Im
portant question now seems to be: Will
a majority of tho people In the proposed
Crow county vote In favor of the pro
ject? If they do, it la difficult to see
how the erection of the new county can
be prevented. The otie peculiar fea
ture cf this project Is that there Is not
contained within these more than 4"0
square miles a simile town that Is
adapted for a county seat. Shick
Bhlnny comes nearest to It, and it la
very far from what would generally
be rerardtd as an Ideal county seat.
The Grow county movement really had
Its origin In Willtos-Earre. and was con
ceived as something in. the nature of
a "counter irritant," to head oft the
Quay county project. It would be a
Joke on 1U Wilkes-Barre; projtora If
It should, in the end, p through. Some
who pretend to know, however, claim
that there will be no Grow county, and
that the scheme will work precisely as
contemplated.
Tho New Court Honsc.
There la a subsidence of interest in
the new court house question, and the
consensus of opinion is that the pres
ent board of county commissioners will
not have the pleasure of even com
mencing tha work of construction. In
one way or another the commissioners
will undoubtedly be blocked In every
move they make. Architect Myers, of
Michigan, will not have cause to break
TUs heart with grief even If the build
in? Is not erected. He has already
gathered one 110,000 plum in exchange
for a second-hand plan, and his one
Bided, Iron-clad contract with, the com
missioners will enable, him to gather
another of equal valus. From present
appearances It would eeem that the
county will pay the Michigan architect
J20.000 for which it will receive plans
for a building that will never be erected.
In other words, the county will prac
tically have mada a present of $20,000 to
Architect Myers.
Some day Luzerne will have a new
court house, but It la fairly safe to pre
dict that it will not be erected nor even
commenced by the present commission
ers, nor will it be a million dollar build
ing, after the plans of Architect Myers.
It is also safe to venture the prediction
that none of he present commissioners
will be their own successors when their
present term expires. The new court
house question will enter very largely
Into tha election of the next board of
commissioners.
A Narrow Escape.
Dr. J. Arthur Bullard Is not only one
of the most prominent and successful
physicians of Wllkeg-Karre, but also
one of the most persistent bicyclists in
the town. A few days ago- he had a
narrow escape from a horrible death.
While crossing the trolley-car track,
nearly In front of hla residence, on
South Main street, his wheel slipped
on the wet rail, landing him on the
track. A car was within fifty feet of
him, and coming at full speed. The
motorman saw the peril and applied the
brakes. He managed to bring the car
to a stop when within a few Irkhes of
the prostrate doctor. In this connec
tion It may be mentioned that the
Wllkes-Barre trolley cars are not yet
provided with eafc-ty fenders, and In
this city there Is not even any agita
tion In favor of such a device for tho
protection of tha public. Here, as In
Scranton and elsewhere, the Traction
company "owns the town."
Want a Federal IlnlJdlng.
' Some time before the meeting of con
gress in its next regular session an or
ganized movement will be made by a
number of prominent citizens of
Wllkes-Barre in behrflf of securing an
appropriation for a Federal building
here. Honorable John Lelsenrlng, the
new congressman, has given his prom
ise to do whatever lies In his power
to secure such an appropriation, and

there are those who believe ho will be
more successful than hla numerous pre
decessors wore. There is a splendid
site for such, a building on South Main
street, btrtwuen Northampton and
South streets, that could be secured at
a reasonable figure. It la the ono
known as tho "Itoss property," and waB
the first choice of the county com
missioners for the proposed new court
house. The property owners in that
portion of itho town will be particularly
active tit tho movement for a federal
building. Thnt section would bo boomed
tremendously by the erection of a fed
eral building. And this town fchould be
recognized by tho new congress when
that body comes to make its dlntrlhu
tlon of privies. If Honorable John Lcls
enrlng secures tho desired appropria
tion ho can count on iv mu.lortty of
about 2.000 In Wllkes-llarre when ho
runs for a second term next year, and
that majority won't cost him a cent,
either.
Illiberal CVmotory Malingers.
The managers of Hollenlmok cem
etery will be harshly rrltleivsed In many
directions for the stand they have
taken lu forbidding tho holding of me
morial services lu that cemetery on
lVeoratlon Day. They have been ex
plaining that they do not object to tho
decorating of the soldier ftrnves by
committees of the (Irand Army men,
but will not penult the promis
cuous crowd to enter the grounds as
heretofore. In Justification of this ac
tion the managers allege that In former
years a good deal of damage has been
done by the crowd, and they propose
to put a stop to It. The Grand Army
men were somewhat Indignant nt first
but they liave concluded to say no
more about It. llollenback cemetery
Is the property of a close corporation
and people can bo burled there only
provided their friends have enough
money to purchase a high-priced grave.
This is the first Instance, so fur as Is
kuown, where a cemetery In a northern
state has been practically closed to tho
Grand Army men for memorial ser
vices In honor of their dead comrades.
It must not be supposed for a moment
that publlo sentiment in Wilkes-liarre
U to any considerable extent in sym
pathy with the managers of Hollen
back cemetery, and the time will cyme
when tiro munagtiiB .themselves will
have further explanations to ninke.
A Dent Thnt Should lie l'alj.
Visiting Grand Army men from all
sections of the slate Invariably In
spect the magnificent Memorial hall
erected by iConynirham Post, OVand
Array of the Republic, In this city. It
Is unquestionably the finest structure
of Its kind In the state. If not lu the
country. But while this hall Is un
doubtedly a "thing of beauty" It Is very
far from being "a Joy forever" to the
veterans who make It their home. There
rests upon it a debt of $20,000, and this
debt is a grievous burden. The post Is
compelled to raise, in some way, about
$1,000 a year to pay the Interest on this
obligation, and It takes about all the
money which the post wants to pay as
benefits and relief to distressed com
rades. Some time ago the old boys
conceived the Idea of raising funds by
means of a Kirmess. The result was
that they lost some hundreds of dol
lars, and are now worst? off than befoce.
There ought to be liberality enough
among the many well-to-do people of
Wllkes-Barre and the Wyoming valley
to wipe out this $20,000 debt ore Memo
rial hall, and free this beautiful monu
ment, erected to the memory of the
dead soldiers, from the incubus that
rests upon It. The boys of Conyngham
post will not be happy until they are
relieved of the debt that consumes
nearly their entire income as an organi
zation. They Kick Anyway.
For years there was a constant howl
heard because the county commission
era would not offer liberal rewards for
the detection of the numerous murder
ers that were rampant in Luzerne.
Some time ago a man named Barney
Kelck was brutally murdered and
robbed. The commissioners resolved,
If possible, to hunt down the" murderers
and placed the case Into the hands of
the Barring detective agency. A num
ber of arrests have been made and It
Is said that the evidence of guilt Is very
strong. The Barring agency does not
work for glory alone and the com
missioners have bad to pay liberally for
the service rendered, hence the howl
now being heard. When the commis
sioners refused to spend money for the
detection of criminals they were de
nounced for their pn.rslmonloufinees and
Indifference to the safety of the people.
Now, when they have employed the
best detective skill available and pay
liberally for apparently successful ser
vice, they are denounced for extrava
gance. It Is said that the commission
ers) have paid nearly $r,000 for the cap
ture of the alleged murderers of Itelck.
If the right men have been secured the
money has been well spent, and the
kickers should stop kicking.
Rrlef Notes.
The West Side park races, arranged
for last Saturday, had to be postponed
on account of the rain and consequent
heaviness of the track.
During the thunder storm on Satur
day morning the Catholic church at
Kingston was struck by lightning and
damaged to the extent of $2,000.

Ir. Fred C. Johnson, of the ttecord,
Is sojourning In Virginia for tho Iteneflt
of his health. He 1ms not fully recov
ered from the effects) of the severe at
tack of typhoid through which he
pnsned several months ngo.
There Is ft manifest determination on
the part of the Hepubllcnns of this city
and county to make an organized effort
to secure the appointment of President
Judge Hire as one of the Justices of the
new 'Superior court, should the? bill
creating that tribunal become a law.
South Main street ought to be ns
phalted'thlByearall the way from South
to Hanover streets, but there Is little
prospect that this will be done. Prop
erty owners cannot be mode to see that
they would derive any benefits from
such an Improvement.
The next fine business block to be
erected In this city will be on the alto
of the old Luxerne house, and will be
the Bennett family's contribution to tho
modern architecture of Wllkes-Barre.
No city In the ntate Is being more
rapidly modernized than Wllkes-Barre
in the way of handsome buildings.'
It is said that a movement Is about to
be Inaugurated for the appointment of
a Democratic postmaster In this city, In
place of Mr. Landmejser, the excellent
Republican olllclal, who has been per
mitted to hold over. Mr. Landmesser
was appointed late In the Harrison ad
ministration! and has about a year of
- -
his term to serve. Numerous Demo
crats are Itching- for his pluae.
A son of Arolilteot Myers, who mado
the plans for the proposed million-dollar
court house, la lu the city for the
avowed purposo of collecting the sec
ond Instalment of $10,000 from the coun
ty commlsslonora. Up to a. Into hour on
Saturday cvenlnu young Mr. Myers hud
not suvoeeded In collecting tha money
and It Is PiiJd ho has wired his father to
come on. It looks us If tho trouble had
begun.
It is rumoretl that tho mines of the
Lehigh and WilkoH-Uurre CVxil com
pnttiy hi this section will almost imme
diately commence operations on full
time. These rumors aro productive of
much rejoicing among the thousands, of
men In the employ of this company who
havo been pusslnw through a season of
exceptionally hnrU times, having less
work and consequently less to llvo on
than the employt-H of other companies.
It Is said that the Mlnei-Htllard Mill
ing company will soon double tho rnpa
clty of their plant at Miner's Mills. This
company now lias mills (it Wilkes
Barre, Pittston, Plymouth and Mlner'h,
and Is the largest concern of the kind
Irt (this avt'tloii of the Htate, (ind
proposes to branch out still further.
I Ion. Charles A. Miner Is at the heart
of the company, but (he active man
ager Is Guptuln Asher Miner, who Is
rapidly forging to the front as ono of

among the youngvr business men of the

Mine Foreman George Thomas, of
Clear Spring colliery, made his descent
into the mine at 7 o'clock on Saturday.
On reaching the bottom of the second
opening he discovered tha prdstrate
form of a man. The body proved to be
that or Charles Donaduo, a single man
Who resided with his widowed mother
on Chnpel street and was employed as a
company hand In the Pittston vein.
The exact manner in which Donohue
met his death has not been ascertained,
but it is supposed that from some un
known cause he slipped or was knocked
Into the pit, the bottom of which is
500 below the (surface. His body was
horribly mangled. A short time beforo
the body was found Donohue was talk
ing with tha engineer at the head of
the shaft. It is reported that he went
down on the cage with two Polanders,
who were employed in the lower vein.
The cage was stopped at the Pittston
vein where Donohue alighted. There Is
a very strong current of air at this
opening and as Donohue alighted his
light was extinguished. It is supposed
that he turned to signal the engineer
fc) lower the cage when, in the dark
ness, he stepped over the brink Into the
shaft, at the bottom of which his body
was found. The unfortunate man is
survived by his mother and two broth
ers, John and Francis. The funeral
will take place from the family home,
on Chapel street, this (Monday) after
noon at 3 o'clock, with Interment at
Church cemetery.
Electrical Storm Fires.
The severe electrical storm which
passed over this city Saturday morning
made several incursions on dwellings
In this vicinity. The home of John Mc
Garry, located on Church Hill, was
struck by lightning at 6 o'clock, from
which the building caught fire. The
flames wero extinguished, as was sup
posed, bnt the fire re-appeared shortly
after 8 o'clock. The flames soon gained
such headway that it was Impossible to
control them, and the structure was
completely destroyed. None of the oc
cupants were Injured. Thei house oc
cupied by William Loughney, corner of
Prospect and Division streets, also re
ceived a shock. The lightning struck
a tree ln a field nearby and completely
razed It. From thnt the electrical cur
rent was carried to Loughney's house.
It tore off tho cornice and shingles and
damaged the building considerably.
None of the occupants were Injured.
