tTh Tribune- ku opened a, branoh ot
flo at No. 29, tannins; building, Publlo
Square, Wllkes-Barre, for th transaction
of business. Tbo publishers propose to
stead the circulation of The Tribune In
iWllkea-Barre and the surrounding- towns,
and to that end will present a very com
pute department of Lucerne oounty newy.
Far suooms In this undertaking depend
ence le placed eolely upon the superiority
f The Tribune as a purveyor of all the
news of the day domestic, foreign, local,
commercial and financial. The general In
terests of the people of Wllkes-Barre and
the Wyoming- valley will have In The Trib
une an earnest advocate, editorially and
etherwtse. It la the purpose of the pub
lishers to Issue a newspaper as valuable
to the genera publlo as the metropolitan
dallies, and deliver It to the people
throughout northeastern Pennsylvania
from three to five hours earlier then the
Philadelphia and New York papers can
reach them.
KIGHTS ON THE ROAD.
Have Whsolman Any Rights on the
Streets of City t
TW mra In the city of Wllkes-Barre
number of men not a few of whom
are persona of more or less prominence
who seem to think that wheelmen
have no right on the public streets
that they are bound to respect. Driv
en of private carriages as well as those
of all manner of other vehicles take
special delight la annoying wheelmen,
frequently crowding them purposely
Into places where they are compelled
hastily to dismount to save themselves
from Injury or their wheels from dam
age. It is tkme that an example be
made of some of these malicious driv
ers. Wheelmen have precisely the same
rights on the streets as drivers of car
riages end wagons. Wheelmen ask no
greater rights, and as a rule they are
always mindful of the rights of others.
There Is an abundance of space on
nearly ail the principal streets of this
city to assure safe travel for All. One
of the annoyances Is the faot that driv
ers of all manner of vehicles persist
In going In either direction on both
sides of the street railway tracks. This
Is especially the case on East and West
Market and .North and South Main
streets. The police should receive per
emptory orders from the mayor to ex
ercise their authority, as Is done In
other cities, to impress upon drivers.
wheelmen end others the necessity of
"keeping to the right." If this were
done not half so many accidents would
occur. .
The West End Wheelmen's club Is a
strong organisation, and is composed of
the most respectable cyclists of the city
Many of the members of this club
knotv that what is here said is the
truth. They frequently are subjected
to the annoyance and dangers com
plained of. It woutd be entirely proper
for the club to take up the course of
any wheelman who has a good case
against maliciously disposed drivers
who purposely subject wheelmen to
personal peril. An example should be
made that would serve to remedy this
wrong, which appears to be on the in
crease in Wllkes-Barre.
HIS FRIENDS INDIGNANT.
They Deny Thst the Late Warden Jona
Was Faithless to HisTrast.
The friends of the late Jail Warden
Jones are very Indignant at the slur
cast upon him as a trustworthy official
by the convicts who have testified in
the Reick murder trial. Half a dozen
or more of these convicts have, under
oath, alleged that Warden Jones
warned Hendricks that Simpson "was a
detective and placed him on his guard
against placing any confidence In him.
When the Reick murder case was
'placed In the hands of the Barring ft
McSweeney detective agency the latter
conceived the plan of sending Simpson
to the county jail for the purpose of
gaining the confidence of Hendricks
with a view to securing Information
from him that would lead to the detec
tion ot the murderers. Of course War
den Jones had to be taken Into the con
fidence of the detectives and it was
naturally supposed he would co-operate
with them In furthering the ends of
justice. Warden Jones placed Simpson
ta a cell where he would have the op
portunity of making the acquaintance
of Hendricks, but if the evidence ot the
convicts is believed then Warden Jones
defeated the cause of justice by first
Informing Hendricks of the real char
acter of Simpson. The friends of Jones
deny very emphatically that the war
den was that kind of a man and do not
hesitate to brand the convicts as a lot
of vile perjurers, who would not have
dared to give such testimony if Warden
Jones were alive to defend . himself
against such an attack upon his honor.
It is only justice to the memory of War
den Jones to say that none of the con
victs claim to have received such in
formation direct from Warden Jones.
They all allege to have received their
knowledge from Hendricks. There
. ON THE VERGE
Of Giving Up the Fight-An El
mlra Citizen's) Last Resource
Proves a Success.
(From the Elmlrs Qasette.)
Do you know Mr. J. 8. Dodder, of 214
South Main street? Me has been a busi
ness man and permanent resident of El
mlra for over twenty years. A man whose
statement cannot be disputed. Well. Mr.
Dodder's case In a nutshell is that he has
been a sufferer from kidney disorders, but
doesn't suffer any more. We will let him
tell what has brought about the change.
Here Is how he spoke of his case to our
representative: "I have never been well
since the closing of the war, where. In the
service of my country. I contracted kid
ney and bladder disorders. The complaint
has gradually been growing on me, I had
sharp pains In the small of my back, just
bacH of the hips, and when they left It was
only to be followed by a dull, heavy pain
which remained continually. I could He
In but on or two positions In bed or the
pain would be almost unbearable. I was
always very sore over the kidneys, and the
urine emitted a strong odor. At times I
felt existence a task. I tried this, that
and the other thing, to no avail, and was
on the Verge of giving up entirely when I
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised. I
thought as a last resort I would give them
a trial; .they were highly recommended,
and I would Use just this one more remedy.
I began taking them, and I am very glad
indeed to give my statement, that suffer
ing humanity may receive the some benefit
I have. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills
satisfied ma they were helping me. Now,
the pain la all gone, and I am entirely well
this, after years of sickness. My sleep
at night ts good and refreshing. I do not
feel any more that tired feeling I used to
on rising, all thanks due to Doan's Kid
ney Pills." " -

certainly Is a, reasonable doubt as to
the alleged dereliction of the dead war
den and laumln4d people will c hear-
fully give him the benefit of that doubt.
There Is nothing in the life or known
character of the late warden to give
color to the belief that he would stand
in with a lot of criminals to defeat the
ends of justice.
THE HENDRICKS TRIAL.
at Last an alibi for the Man Who Is on
Trial.
Yesterday, for the first time during
the twelve days' trial of Hendricks
has been . In progress, the defense
turned their attention exclusively' to
the prisoner ait the bar and nwule an
attempt to establish an alibi. First
some of Hendricks' relatives were put
on the stand. They teatlned that Hen
drlcks was In Wllkes-Barre during the
day preceding the murder, but that
he was im Avora, several hours before
and up to the exact hour when the
crime was committed. These witnesses
completely oontradloted the testimony
of Ray Buyer. Hendricks himself was
placed on the stand and gavs, In very
elaborate derail, his movements on the
day and the evening of the murder of
Barney Bek-k. He denied in toto the
evidence of itay Uoyer and the detec
tives that he had made confession to
them admitting his complicity In the
murder. He declared that this murder
had not been alluded to In any of Ms
conversations wrth the detectives, and
also that he knew at the time that
Simpson andKelghron were detectives
He also said Warden Jones and one ot
th watchmen at the jatl had Informed
him that Simpson was a detective.
Some of the wrtneasea examined yes
terday became badly "rattled" under
the severe cross-examination by Attor
ney Lenahan, who never falls to make
witnesses shown any weakness they
may be possessed of. There is not
much doubt In the mind of any one who
has been In etendance on the trial that
many of the witnesses had been very
carefully "coached" before they went
on th stand. H Is also apparent that
there has been an extraordinary
amount of perjury committed on one
side or the other. To which side the
jury will credit the perjury will be
shown when the verdict comes In.
The case will not end- today, and the
jurors will therefor be compelled to
spend a second Sunday In seclusion.
It la not probable that the judge will
charge the jury before Monday, and a
verdict Is scarcely to be expected be
fore next Wednesday.
As has already been stated In these
columns, the defense has from the first
depended solely on establishing an alibi
for each of the four defendanta This
has now been done, and In a manner
that does Infinite credit to the three
young lawyers O'Boyle, McGowan and
Shea who undertook the defense. For
the prosecution John T. Lenahan has
fought the battle alone and he certain
ly has done what lay In his power to
make out a case against the accused.
It has been from first to last a hard
case to handle. No one sawxthe crime
committed, and the prosecution were
compelled to depend almost wholly on
the evidence of a notoriously disreput
able woman and several detectives for
a conviction. The woman's evidence
may be worthless, and unfortunately
there Is nearly always an unreasonable
prejudice against professional detec
tives. There ta not now much doubt that all
four of the accused will go free.
Whether guilty or innocent they alone
know to a certainty.
WHAT BECAME OF THE BODY ?
The Coroner's Jury Could Not Find the
Corpse of an alleged Suicide.
Reference was made In The Tribune
of Thursday to the supposed suicide of
a young Polish woman whose body was
found in the river below Plymouth.
The remains were taken from the water
and removed to the establishment of a
Plymouth undertaker. A coroner's
jury was summoned, but when that
body proceded to view the corpse they
could not find it. It had been removed
to Nantiooke, as was supposed, for In
terment In the cemetery of the poor dis
trict at Retreat. It la alleged that K
was not interred there but was for
warded to some medical college. It has
not been positively established that
this was a case of suicide. The unfor
tunate young woman was engaged to
be married to a young- Polander who
suddenly disappeared the day before
the woman's death. There are those
who express the opinion that the girl
may have been murdered and the body
thrown into the river. This Is only sur
mise as yet, but under the circum
stances an Investigation would seem to
be necessary.
The case Is In the hands of County
Detective Eckert,- who will endeavor
to trace the body and ascertain what
disposition has been made of K. The
county detective states that this Is not
the first Instance when undue haste has
bean made to dispose of the remains of
Polanders who came to their death un
der circumstances that called for Inves
tigation. Th faot that the body of
this woman was found floating on the
surface of the water within a few
hours after she had been seen alive
arouses the suspicion that she did not
come to her death by drowning, as,
under such circumstances, the body
Would have sunk.
BRIDGE THE FLATS.
a Long Deferred but Nossary Pdbllo
Improvement.
It was hoped that before the fall
floods came the low places on the lower
road between Wllkes-Barre and Kings
ton would be spanned by viaducts tjaat
would prevent the Interruption of
travel and traffic over that road when
ever the water In the Susquehanna
rises) to a certain height. This subject
has been periodically discussed for
years, but for some reason the enter
prise in lacking to carry out any of the
simple and comparatively Inexpensive
plana that have been suggested. Many
thousands of people have a direct in
terest In making this Improvement.
The Wllkes-Barre Bridge company.
The Traction company, the city of
Wllkes-Barre, the boroughs of Kings
ton and Edwardsvllle ar all alike In
terested In uninterrupted communica
tion over this great public highway at
all seasons of the year. The two com
panies named could well afford to make
the Improvement at their own expense,
but It is now evident that nothing will
be don this year.
Several years ago m company was or
ganized to construct a bridge opposite
North street, and also to bridge the two
places In the road to Dorranoeton. This)
was done and communication is never
cut off on that road. Whenever the
water in the river rises sufficiently to
cut oft travel on the lower and more
convenient road the North- street bridge
and the continuing road Is used, to th
great Inconvenience of the publlo. Toe
Traction' company baa tracks across
both bridges, but does not use the
North) street Una except when com
munication is cut off across the more
convenlont Market street line. Publlo
sentiment should assort Itself to com
pel Uie Wllkes-Barre Bridge and Trac
tion companies to make this desired
and necessary Improvement. It is not
a great nor an expensive undertaking.
PROPOSALS ASKED FOR.
The County Commissioners Mske Their
Next Move.
Yesterday the county commissioners
advertised for proposals for furnishing
materials and labor required for build
ing and completing a fire-proof stone
court houso at Wllkes-Barre, accord
Ing to the plans and specifications
furnished by 10. K. Myers, which can
now be seen at the office of the county
commissioner. The bids will be re
ceived until 12 o'clock, noon, May SI,
at which hour they will be opened. It
Is evident that Uie commissioners mean
to go lUiead, even though no site for
the new court house has yet been se
lected and neither have the plans
yet been submitted to and passed upon
by the court, as required by a recent
act of assembly. The situation Is cer
tainly an anomalous one In every way
Architect Myers seems to b the mov
ing and directing spirit in every thing
that la done.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
Honorable J. C. Harvey, representa
tive from the second legislative district
denies that he aspires to the seat In
the senate, now occupied by Senator
Kline. It is Intimated that Mr. Harvey
will not decline a third term In the
house If the Republicans of the dis
trict shall urge him to accpet another
nomination. He has made an excellent
representative.
If tho new county of Quay should be
erected the Republicans of old Luzerne
will unquestionably bring out a candi
date fur congress next year to contest
the nomination with Honorable John
Lelsenrlng.Luzerne will not be recon
ciled to having a representative who re
sides in another county especially
Quay county.
The Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer con
tinues to prod Chairman Smoulter, of
the Democratic county committee, to
make a movement in favor of an early
county convention. Chairman Smoulter
is not moving In that direclon, but he
might if ex-Dlstrlct Attorney Oarman,
the real leader of the Luzerne Demo
cracy, should give the word. .
Ex-CongresHman Hlnea Is lying low
these warm days, and seems to be In
different to future political plane, but
when the proper time comes he will be
found as active a factor in the local
Democracy as ever. Nothing short of
death can divorce Honorable William
H. Hlnes from politics. In the mean
time Mr. Hlnes will summer at his re
treat In Bear Creek township.
Recent Republican successes in Lu
zerne county will bring out a host of
candidates for the several county
oflices to be filled this year. There will
be less activity among the Democrats
for places, still there will be no dif
ficulty in filling the ticket.
