plete department of Luzerne county news.
For success In this undertaking depend
ence Is placed solely upon the superiority
of Tho Tribune as a purveyor of all the
neWB of the day domestic, foreign, local,
commercial ond financial. The general In
terests of tho people of Wllkes-Pnrro and
the Wyoming valley will have in The Trib

ARCHITECT MIERS' CLAIM.
Ills Son's Presence Means on Lffort to
Collect the Second Instalment of Ten
Thousand Dollars; but This Mill
Probably Bo Resisted.
Trip presence' In town of tho son of
Architect Myers, of Michigan, referred
to In yesterday's issue of The Tribune,
Is attracting much comment nnd not a
little anxiety. It Is ndmittedthat the
principal object of his visit is t'i collect
the second instalment of 1 10,090, diu his
father on his contract with tho county
commissioners. There Is not much
doubt In the mind of any oru that pay
ment of the claim can and will be en
forced. That the county commissioners
had full power and authority to ninUe
such a contract Is admitted. That
they were either wittingly or unwitting
ly overreached by the architect U n!:-o
clear. Under the terms of tiiat con
tract Myers has already svo.ived !'!''.
000, and tho commissioners uHlrr.itP'l
themselves to t"' to him a to:'! in
stalment of $10,000 when Uie c.t:i;ileted
plans for the new court h ruse were de
livered. Architect Myeid his com
plied with his part of t'n contract, and
there seems to be n esca;. for the com
missioners. . The county treasurer, it
has been alletred, will refus to honor
the order of the commissioners If pre
sented for payment, and If he doo3
litigation will undoubtedly follow.
No one for a moment believes that
the new court house will be erected In
the near future, "and never according
to the million dollar plan of Architect
Slyers. Injunctions will follow imme
diately on the heels of any movement
the commissioners may make. A prom
inent Wilkes-J3arre attorney, discussing
this subject the other d;iy,. expressed
himself as follows: "I think we can
tie the hands of the present board of
county commissioners and defer' this
new court house business until an op
portunity has been given the people of
Luzerne county to elect a new board,
composed of practical business men,
who have; some Idea of the eternal fit
ness of things. I do not Impeach the
Integrity of Commissioners Smith. Dul
lard and Norton, but it has been clearly
and conclusively demonstrated that
they are sadly lacking in that sound
Judgment and knowledge that should
characterise a board of public officers
charged with so great a financial
trust. There Is nothing better to do
that I can see, than to fight off this new
court houso project until a different
jmuiissioners enn oe eiectea.
of the contract made by the
iioners with Architect Myers is
re evidence sensible men renulre
to prove that these commlx-lonera are
not proper custodians of so great a
public trust. Give the paople a chance
and they will elect a board composed of
men who will not commit such stu
pendous blunders.. We have been done
out of $20,000, but there is still a fight
ing: chance of saving half a million dol
lars, and there Is going to be a light."
NEED A NEW HOTEL.
Fine Opportunity for Some Uvo Citizen
to Immortalize Himself.
There Is not another city nf 40,000 In
habitants In the state of Pennsylvania,
whose hotel accommodations urn an
This has been a standing complaint
for many years. The tearing down ot
the old Luzerne House, to give way for
A business block, still further empha
nizes the evil. There is a good deal of
talk about organizing a stock company
for the erection of a first-class hotel,
but up to this time the project has not
taken tangible form. It Is amazing
that with all the capital lying loose
here something has not been done long
ago. There are half a dozen, possibly
a dozen, men In Wllkes-Barre who have
the financial ability to follow the ex
ample of John Jermyn of Hcranton and
erect such an hotel as Is now going1 up
on "Wyoming avenue In your city, and
that Is the kind of hotel Wilkes-Barre
needs. There Is money in it for the
imani who possesses the financial re
sources to assume the undertaking.

Lean ns president, if. J. Hennln and
Alexander Pick ns vice president, and
Abram Nesblt as treasurer. With tho
presidents of two of our National banks
occupying tho principal offices in the

cial strength not often found In a bnHo
ball club. The merits of tho players
composing the club will become up
parent later. It is believed, however.
that the club will prove a strong aggrc
gallon. The game was called promptly

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Tho AUc?ed Slayers of Harney Relck at
tho Bar of Justice.
One of the most Important murder
trials that has occurred In this county
In recent years commenced yesterday.
In November, 189.1, Harney Relck was
lured from his home to the yard of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad on pre
tense that some one wanted to sell him
a carload of potatoes. When the yard
was reached Relck was attacked, sand
bagged In the most brutal manner and
robbed of his money, amounting to
about $300. Ite was some time after
ward found In a dying condition. Tho
murder was Involved In mystery until
more than a year had pissed by, when
the case was placed In the hands of
Herman Barring's detective agency.
Sharp men were, put to work and the
result was the arrest of James Hen
dricks, James Fisher, William Kearney
and John J. Robinson. These four were
arraigned yesterday and their counsel
asked for a separate trial for each,
which was granted, and Hendricks was
placed In the dock, while the other
three were remanded to Jail to await
their turn. The work of securing a Jury
was then proceeded with and the usual
difficulty was experienced In selecting
th'j necessary twelve. Attorneys Mc
Govern, O' Boyle, Shea and Gillespie
will defend the prisoners. The accused
are all residents of this county and nt
least two of them are respectably con
nected. The victim of the crime was
an inoffensive and thrifty peddler who
was known to carry considerable
money with him at all times. The prin
cipal witness, It Is said, Is a woman
named Ray Itoyer who says two of the
accused came to her house and divided
a lum of money, nnd also that Hen
dricks conffssed the same evening that
he had "done up Barney Relck." Mr.
Barring appears at the prosecutor's ta
ble and cloitns he wll produce conclu
sive evidence of the guilt of all four of
the prisoners. . The widow of the mur
dered mnn has Identified one of the ac
cused ns the person who came to their
house and asked her husband to go to
thi freight jard, where he was killed.
In cases of burns, sprains, scalds, or any
of the other accidental pains likely to
come to the human body. Dr. Thomas' Eo
leeUic Oil gives almost Instant relief.
Tho Tax Kccolvcrshlp.
Th periodical contest over the ap
pointment of a tax receiver for Wllkes
Barre Is again In progress. This ap-.
polntment, under the provisions of a
special act of assembly, devolves upon
the president Judge of Luzerne county.
The office Is an exceedingly "fat" one,
and has been continuously held for
twelve years by J- W. Gilchrist. Others
have striven for It In vain all these
years. At this time Receiver Gilchrist
has an active competitor In the person
of E. II. Chase, a Republican, who, In
former years, rendered thfc party excel
lent service as an organizer and man
ager of campaigns, and who was also
collector of internal revenue under sev
eral administrations. There are other
aspirants for this desirable office,
among them Councilman Fred Reutel
huber, whose friends claim for him the
recognition faithful and efficient party
service. should command. Judge Rice
Dou)d fhe
will probably make the appointment
very soon.
Wont to no Alderman.
There Is a. vacancy In the office of
nldorman of tho Eighth ward, caused
by the death of the Venerable Alder
man Zlegler. Four or more aspirants
are appealing to Governor Hastings for
the appointment. The contest appears
however, to havo narrowed down to
James B. Ford and Councilman Robert
Williams, both of whom are good men
and have strong backing. The other
candidates are gentlemen named By
water nnd Kilter, not nearly so well
known as Messrs. Ford and Williams,
As the ward is rather strongly Demo-
ratio, there will be a big light for the
olllce next spring, no matter which of
the Republicans now soaking the np
polntment wins.
Strike nt n Mine
A Strike occurred nt No. 1 mine of the
Red Ash Coal company, located near
Mountain Park, yesterday. A number
of the drivers who have been receiving
$1.43 per day demanded $1.(15, claiming
that as they are required to do sprag-
glng they are entitled to spragger's
wuges. Their demand being refused
tho drivers struck, and work at thu
mine was suspended, throwing between
three hundred nnd four hundred per
sons Into Idleness. Honorable Morgan
B. Williams, the general manager of the
comp'iny, yesterday declared he neither
knew nor cared how long the striko
would continue. It Is not improbable
that the trouble will be speedily ad
justed and work resumed.
WYOMINU COAL SHIPPED.
The Wllkes-Barre Record yesterday
contained the following report of coal

ing the week ending Saturday, April

occurred at the home of her grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Avery, Sat
urday night. Her parents live at Glen
burn, but the little girl had been stay
ing here ftr some time. She was an un
usually precocious child and the pet of
the household. On Monday, April 22.

which seemed of such mild type thut
there was every encouragement that
the disease could be baffled, but on Fri

came, though every effort was made for
her relief. The funeral on Sunday was
private, all precautions being taken to
prevent the spread of the disease. The

ents, as It is only a few months since

of all.
