THE RCEANTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY MORNING. MAY , 1895.
Oh? Neighbors Doa)d the
" "WILRES-BflRRE.
The Tribune has opened n. hrannh of
fice at No. 29, Lanning building, Public
Square, Wllkes-Barre, fur tho u-ansaut.on
of business. Tlio publishers propose to
extend the circulation of The Tribune In
Wllkes-Barre and the surrounding towns,
and to that end will present a very com.
Diets dctiartment of Luzerne county news.
For success In this undertaking depend
ence Is placed solely upon tho superiority
of The Tribune as a purveyor of all the
news of tho day domestic, foreign, local,
commercial and financial. The general In
terests of the people of WIIkes-Bnrre nnd
the Wyoming valley will have In The Trib
une an earnest advocate, editorially and
othcrwlfle. It Is the purpose of the pub
lishers to Issue a newspaper as valuable
to tho general public as the metropolitan
(In I Hen, and deliver It to the people
throughout northeastern Pennsylvania
from three to five hours earlier than the
Philadelphia and New York papers can
roach them.
THE REICK MURDER CASE.
Fourth Day of tho Trial of Hendricks, Ono
of tho Accused.
The fourth day of tho trial of Hen
dricks, one of the alleged murderers of
Barney Relck, was replete with Interest
to the large crowd of spectators, and a
large number of -witnesses were ex
amined. The court decided to admit
the evidence of the detectives, Includ
ing the confessions made to them by
Hendricks. Hofore Barney Heidi died
ha stated that ;he defended himself
against his assailants with a small
pocket knife and succeeded In stabbing
one of them In the legs and shoulders.
Dr. Klrwln, the prison physician, teetl
fled that he made a careful examina
tion of the prisoner Hendricks and
found upon his person such scars as
might have been made by cuts with a
small knife. While this Is undoubtedly
Important circumstantial evidence,
nevertheless It Is far from conclusive.
Unless tho Jury gives weight to the Al
leged confessions made 'by Hendricks
to the detectives and to the woman,
Hay Boyer, It Is difficult to Bee how
Hendricks can be convicted. Thus far
the evidence 'bears more conclusively
against Fisher, who la not now on trial,
than against the prisoner at the bar.
Counsel for the defense attack nearly
all the witnesses and evidently depend
largely on Impeaching their character
to break down the case against Hen
dricks. The detectives who worked up this
case seem to have depended largely on
Securing confessions from the prisoners
as a means of convicting them. It was
an unusually difficult case to unravel,
and it 1s a question whether the jury
will attach the expected Importance to
the alleged confessions made to the
detectives. It Is evident that upon this
will hinge the verdict. If the detective
Kelghron tells the truth, then Hen
dricks was an unusually talkative crimi
nal. Kelghron played the role of crimi
nal himself, and in that way gained the
confidence of Hendricks. The latter
not only confessed the killing of Reick,
pporrllnir tn thp evldpnne of thf dptnn-
Ive. but also adrflltted other crimes
- Mnn. i , i ... Mt.nH,AM. . ......
othera he revealed a plan for robbing
Is own mother. The court, to the sur
prise of many, admitted all this as evl-
evidence for the prosecution may
In before the close of today. The

hard fight for their clientn, and are
very hopeful of saving at least some of
them.
OUR THIRD STRAIGHT.
The W'llkes-Barro Club Gets Away with
8yrncii.se by Six to Two.
Wllkes-Barre won lis t' lrd straight

arm, pitched a good game and kept the
hits well scattered. Syracuse made her
two runs In the sixth Inning. Welch
was hit by a pitched bail; Simon
reached first on an error, and Griffin
and Power each singled, bringing in
two runs. The feature of the game
were two catches of difficult foul
fllea by-Hess. WIVkes-Barre scored first
In the .third Inning. McMahan singled
and went to second on CampfiekVs fly
to Simon. Lytle singled and Shannon
did the same, allowing both McMahon
and Lytle to cross the plate. Shannon
tried to fpach second base, but was
put out, closing the Inning. In the
fourth a three-bagger by Earl and a
Btngle by biggins yielded another run;
and In the sixth the remaining three
runs were scored. In this Inning Betts
singled, going second &md third on long
files of Lezotte and Earl to Simon and
Oriflln respectively. Dlgglns got to

AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.
Tho Luzerne Congressional District to Be
tho Thirteenth.
The congressional apportionment bill
now before the legislature changes the
number of both the Luzerne and the
Lackawanna districts. It would bo
difficult to explain - the necessity for
this change. Under the old apportion
ment 'Luzerne was the Twelfth and
Lackawanna the Eleventh. Now it Is
proposed to make Lackawanna the
Twelfth and Luzerne the Thirteenth.
While this Is really of very little real
consequenoe or Importance, neverther
less changes in the numbers of districts
Should not be made except when abso
lutely unavoidable. The old numbers
of either Luzerne or Lackawanna could
certainly have been retained, and prob
ably both could have been left un
changed without the least difficultly.
Under the new apportionment two
additional districts had to ibe created,
but this really necessitated a change In
the numbers of only two of the old dis
tricts, but for some unexplained rea
son a large number of changes are
made by the bill. No explanation has
been vouchsafed by any ono.
Fast Driving.
Fast and reckless driving Is permit
ted on tho principal thoroug'hfares of
Wllkcs-llurro to probably a greater ex
tent than In any other city In Pennsyl
vania. Itlver street Is the favorite rac
ing course of the owners of lively
steppers, and on almost any pleasant
evening from two to half a dozen turn
outs may be seen there dashing along
at full speed. On Wednesday evening
an accident occurred os the result of
this ra.cing which should Impel the
mayor to put a stop to it. Two young
men were speeding their horses down
River street and when reaching Acad
emy street one of th:?m dusfhed head
long Into a ml Hi wagbn. The latter
proved to bethe moreformldable vehicle
and the light wagon of the racer was
wrecked. The young driver was thrown
out but fortunately not seriously In
jured. Tho mayor should give his
policemen peremptory orders to arrest
all reckless drivers with 1.1 itho city
limits. A single arrest would doubt
less prove sufficient to break up tho per
nicious practice and prevent serious If
not fatal accidents.
Crow County.
The commissioners appointed by the
governor to make a survey of the terri
tcry to be embraced to the new county
or Grow are pushing their work. Ac
cording to th.9 Shlckshlnny Democrat
th? survey will be completed In about
two weeks, and the territory surveyed
will cover something more than the re
quisite 400 square mllt3 and also more
than 20,000 inhabitants. If the report
of tho commissioners shall show such
facts an election will have to be- ordered
to ascertain whether or not a majority
of the voters desire the erection of the
new county.
A Prosperous Dank.
The Wyoming National bank de
clared a semi-annual dividend of 5 per
cent, and added $10,000 to their sur
plus. The surplus of the Wyoming
now amounts to $170,000 on a captital
stock of $150,000. The shares of. that
bank are not on the market.
Jlody Recovered.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon
the body of a man was found In the
Susquehanna river below the city. It
Is supposed to be that of the man who
Jumped the Market street bridge April
21. As the bridge Jumper was not
known, identification is difficult.

FAIR PLAYFOR OLEO.
From tho Philadelphia Record.
Good oleomargarine cannot be differ
entiated from good butter either by tho
sense of sight or smell or taste. Good oleo
margarine Is as much better than poor
butter as good butter Ib better than soap
grease. These are facts which the legis
lature cannot repeal. It Is folly, and
worse than folly, to fight against new
chemical or mechanical discoveries which
enable men to Improve end Increase the
means of living and to turn waste sub
stances to use and profit.
It Is right enough, and proper enough,
to make regulations forbidding the sale of
oleomargarine as butter. It Is not but'
ter: and to Bell It for butter Is a fraud.
Those who buy butter should get It. Bjnt
oleomargarine Is a wholesome and pal
atable substitute for butter, and It k an
outrage to either Interdict Its sale fir lis
manufacture. There Is neither orQjnary
business sagacity nor good mo-rtfi In the
legislation which keeps out j6t- Pennsyl
vania a wholesome food -product, and
rears up among us a pestilent brood of
pies end Informers.

PITTSTON.
The Lehigh Valley ticket office seems
to be a favorite place for robbers to
attack. Wednesday evening train No.
20, east bpund, due at the Junction at
9.45, was ten minutes late. Oscar Gru
ver, who acts as night agent, locked the
ticket office and went out to attend to
the baggago and mail. After putting
them In the upper office, he came out
upon the platform again and saw a man
standing at the door of the waiting
room on the lower platform. Gruver's
suspicions were aroused and he went
down. As he did so the fellow called
to his companions Inslde'and three men
canto running out. Gruver seized one
of the fellows but one of the others
felled him with a blow In the ribs, caus
ing him to let go his hold. The four
men then started off on a run, and by
the time Gruver got on his feet to call
for help they were out of sight. On
Investigation It was found that the
door to the ticket-office had been shat
tered by a heavy pick and the lock
broken; the thieves had taken the con
tents of the money drawer, amounting
to $8.90. A sealed envelope marked
"valuable" excited their cupidity, but
pits contents were of no value to them,
as they consisted of redeemed time cer
tificates of employes, amounting in face
value to $S9.40, and cancelled excess
checks worth $13.70. Detective O'Brien
was at tho scene late last night but no
trace of the thieves could be obtained.
Three tramps were seen on a freight
train thnt arrived at Falrvlew from
Coxton Thursday morning, and it Is
surmised they were the ones who did
the Job. A Lehigh Valley auditor was
going over the accounts at the station
yesterday morning.- Late yesterday
afternoon two of the robbers were cap
tured near Avoca by Detective O'Brien
and Constables Tigue and Rose, assist
ed by the Lehigh Valley shifting crew.
When the hobos were cornered on the
railroad track, a distance south of the
town, they showed fight and were so
aggressive In the battle that the assist
ance of the shifting crew was neces
sary in order that they might be cap
tured. They were given a hearing in
this city and were committed to Wllkes
Barre Jail. One of the tramps gave his
residence at Philadelphia, and the other
claimed to have at one time been a
citizen of Albany, N. Y.
Sotno Explanatory Remarks.
We desire to correct an error which
occurred In our column yesterday
morning. We were misinformed. The
game of basket ball to ibe played by the
Wllkes-Barre and Plttston teams has
not been satisfactorily arranged. On
further investigation we learn that
neither the Scranton or Kingston teams
are now eligible to the banner under
any consideration, as they have been
defeated. The standing of the league
is as, follows:
P. W. L.
Scranton 6 3 3
Plttston 6 3 2
Wilkes-Barre ... 6 3 2
Kingston 6 2 4
Ptttston and Wilkes-Barre have con
tested game.
A City in Swamp.
The main street. East Side, Is in a
deplorable and almost Impassable con
dition. Traffic was delayed nearly all
day yesterday. Had the street been
regularly opened where the alley now
is in the rear of business houses located
on the east side of Main street, the
present trouble would have been avert
ed. With no lntentlbn to censure the
sewer contractors we are positive that
some arrangement might have been
made whereby the large amount of
earth which has been removed from the
trenches may have been taken care of
In a manner that would not have been
such a nuisance to the traveling public.
Serious Mine Accident.
A serious accident occurred at the
Twin shaft at noon yesterday. A fall
of rock struck a miner, Max Lauzcf, on
the head and face, breaking his nose
and almost severing his lower lip. He
Is at the hospital suffering from his
wounds and congestion of the brain
and Is In a dangerous condition.

GREAT SEA MONSTER.
Skull Nearly Ten Feet Wide Found In tho
Cherokee Strip-Eye Sockets Four Feet
in Dlumctor.
Humboldt, Kan., May 2. The fossil
skeleton of what Is supposed to be a
large extinct sea animal was recently
discovered by a settler in the Chero
kee strip while searching along the
banks of the Arkansas river for drift
wood. The beak or bill was projecting
through the sand. On breaking, it was
found to be bone which aroused the
finder's curiosity to the extent that he
set Jo work to exhume it. The beak
or 1)111, the skull, a few verterbrae,
some 'ribs and propellers were in a fair
statcf? ntaervatlon, but the remainder
crunl Vr -I soon as exposed to the air.
The J;overer stored his find in a
shed, and did not attach much import
ance to i. By chance Henry Patterson
heard of It, made a trip to the strip,
purchased it, and had a huge wagon
built with a large cushioned platform,
and covered for the safe transportation
of what is no doubt a relic of the ante
diluvian period, and Is now realizing a
bonanza on his investment, exhibiting
It In the cities and towns In the new
petroleum aid natural gas field of
southeast Kansas.
It Ccrtiiinlv Is a Whopper.
A descrlptkjn of the bones remaining
was sent to tlfe director of the National
museum at Vfashlngton, and the fol
lowing reply as been received: "The
matter Is one of great Interest from a
paleontologies I point of view and I have
taken the llbe ty of at once submitting
youa- letter the secretary of tho
Smithsonian nstltute, asking him to
write you in egard to the matter and
send a quail cd paleontologist to in
vestigate thediscovery. The skeleton
you speak or; is certainly larger than
any on record anywhere in the world,
and it Is highly Important that It be
preserved In the National museum."
It has been) named by local scientists
monoccros-iclithyosaurus and pleslos
aurrus. The eye sockets are four feet
in diameter, with a space of twenty
inches between them, making a skull
diameter of 9 feet and 8 Inches. It has
a pointed beak or bill twelve feet long
and a small t rain cavity comparatively.
The vertebrae measure twelve Inches
each way, atnd the distance from tip
to tip of thje transverse processes Is
forty inches and resembles those of a
mammal rather than a fish. The ostry
odes is 38 iiiches long; a rib of 13 ft. S
In long, circumference 33 inches,
and two tt (angular-shaped bones, 3',i
by 12 feet, the use of which Is conject
ural, but supposed to be propellers or
fins. It ha been variously estimated to
be from 60to 300 feet long.

one hundred and six years ago, and
there have been only eight chief Jus
tices, though the number of presi
dents is twenty-three. John Jay, of
New York, was the first chief justice.
John Rutledge, of South Carolina, the
second; Olive Ellsworth, of Connecti
cut, the third; John Marshall, of Vir
ginia, the fourth; Roger B. Taney, of
Maryland, the fifth; Balmon P. Chase
the sixth; Morrison R. Walte, of Ohio,
the seventh, and Melville W. Fuller, of
Illinois, the eighth. With the exception
pf the two southern chief Justices, they
tiave all been college graduates. Jay
(was 44 VAAra old when he hprnme phlpf
ijustlce, and his successors respectively
were 65. 63, 50, 46, 58, 56 and 55. The
chief justice of the United States holds
the most stable office under the federal
government. Since 1861 the western
states have furnished the chief justice.
Pennsylvania Is the only one of the
original states Important enough to be
considered in such a matter which has
never had a native or a resident chief
justice.

Nine Months In Bed. Cured In 24 Hours.
T. J. Blackmore, of Holler A Black
more, Pittsburg, Pa., says: "A short
time since I procured a bottle of 'MYSTIC
CURE!.' It got me out of the hDuie In
twenty-four hours. I took to my bed with
Rheumatism nine months ago and the
MYSTIC CURB' Is the only medicine that
did me any good, I had five of the best
physicians In the city; but I received very
little relief from them. I know .the
'MYBTIC CURB' to be what It Is rep
resented and take pleasure In recom
mending It to other poor Sufferers. Bold
