THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
Progress of an Unpleasant Controversy
That Should lie Adjusted.
Every citizen of Wllkes-Barre Is. or
ought to be, Interested In a proper solu
tion of the contest now In progress be-
tween Mayor Nichols and the city
council. There Is no excuse for such
clashing;. If this city is to have the
kind of government the people have a
right to expect ana demand, the mayor,
the police and the city council must co
operate harmoniously for the public
good. The mayor claims that under
the direction of the police committee of
council the police refuse to co-operate
with the mayor In any effort he makes
to suppress vice and Immorality. This
amounts, virtu-ally, to a charge that the
police committee Is protecting houses
where vice and Immorality are notori
ously practiced, The seriousness of this
charge cannot be overestimated. The
mayor alleges that the -president of
council and the police committee are
not only rendering- his efforts In behalf
of morality and decency nugatory, but
that they are In other ways persecuting
him In a manner not only unjust to him,
but detrimental to the welfare of the
city.
Mayor Nichols is a plucky man, and
feeling that public sentiment sustains
him In the position he has taken, he
will make the best fight he can. The
charge has been made quite freely that
the mayor hoo Inaugurated the crusade
against vice and Immorality for the
fees he receives from such cases. This
allegation he has met with the proposi
tion that If the council will permit the
police to co-operate with him he will
turn over Into the city treasury all fees
arising from cases in which the police
lodge information. This certainly dis
poses of the charge of selfish or mercen
ary motives.
An ex-policeman, Albert Houck, al
leges that he was discharged from the
force by the police committee for mak
ing an information against one of the
most notoriously Infamous houses in
the city. He says that he would be on
the force today if he had not made
such information. This, If true. Is a
blistering reflection Upon the police
committee, and fully confirms the alle
gations made by ' he mayor.
It cannot be possible that a majority
of the members of the city council en
dorse the Attltudo of the police commit
tee In thla matur. There certainly are
a number of members, citizens of the
highest standing, who are in sympathy
with the efforts of the mayor to im
prove the nural atmosphere of Wilkes
Barre. Is it ne t time these councllmen
be heard fron?
1IENDLER S BIG CONTRACT.
Preparing to Employ a Large Force of
Men on Stone Work.
One of the most enterprising and en
ergetic business men of this city is Jo
seph Hendler. He owns one of the best
and most extensive stone quarries in
the state, located on the mountain near
Laurel Run. Mr. Hendler strikes out
boldly for contracts not only for
masonry but also to supply stone, and
he Is never dismayed by the proportions
of a contract. When bids were asked
for to supply stone for the Hudson
river bridge, at New York, Mr. Hendler
aw an opportunity of gigantic propor
tions and he went to work with char
acteristic energy to secure It, and was
successful. Subsequently, the New
Tork Herald made an elleged expose,
charging that the official who had ap
proved or awarded the contract to
Hendler hod received a bribe, and that
the contract would be vitiated. In an
interview with a News-Dealer repre
sentative Mr. Hendler Is alleged to have
admitted that at cost him $5,000 to se
cure this large contraot, but does not
admit that there was bribery. He Is
so confident his contract will stand that
he Is making every preparation to com
ply with its provisions at the shortest
notice. This contract will enable Mr.
nenaier to give employment to some
800 men, and about 600,000 yards of stone
will be required. When In full opera
tion fifty car loads per day will be
shipped, and they will go over the Le
high Valley railroad. Everybody here
is hoping Mr. Hendler will not be not be
disappointed. So confident Is he there
will be no hitch that he is preparing for
tlhe erection of a large building for the
accommodation of the large force of
men to be employed. When under full
operation the vicinity of Hendler's
quairries will be one of the busiest com
munities 1n this section of the state. He
says he has already received applica
tions from thousands for employment
on this contract.
SUIT FOR $2G,000.
Ths Lehigh and Wilken-Ilnrro Coal Com
pany the Defendant.
The heirs of the late Colonel Hen
drlck B. Wright have brought suit
against the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre
Coal company to recover $26,000 royal
ties ciaimea to De aue by the company
for coal taken from land leased from
Colonel Wright In 1879. The land is
situated near Plymouth. The terms of
the lease provided that the company
should pay 14,000 annually until the
merchantable coal should be mined
and removed. The plaintiffs allege that
in October, 188ff, the company defaulted
in the payments of the rentals and has
failed to pay since, and continues to re
fuse to pay,, refusing- also to surrender
the property, but continuing to take
out the coal until last January, Attor
neys Henry A. Fuller and George Bed
ford represent the plaintiffs and are
confident they will recover the amount.
EokUy B. Coxa's Will.
' The will of the late Eckley B. Coxe
has been filed for probate. It Is a brief
and clearly expressed paper and will
admit of no litigation. His estate is
valued at one and a half millions, and
the entire Income from it goes to the
Widow during her lifetime. After her
death the estate Is to be divided equally
tetwieen .the testator's ten. .nephews
and nieces, Mr. Coxe had no children.
There are no charitable bequests of any
kind, a fact that occasions some sur
prise. His two brothers, Alexander
and Henry, are the executors.
THAT COUNTY LINE.
Tho County Commissioners of Luierno In
No Hurry to Take Action.
The question raised concerning the
line between Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties continued to attract a little
attention yesterday, especially in court
house circles, but so far as could be
learned the county commissioners and
their attorney ore contemplating no
step, in the direction of an inquiry or
investigation. A surveyor who h well
informed on the eubjeot yesterday said
to the writer that he had very serious
doubts whether Lackawanna county at
any point: came within hiss than ten
miles of the city of Wilkes-Bur-re. Tak
ing a tnao he pointed out the dividing
line between the two counties. He fig
ured that if tlhe llneany where encroached
upon the ten-mile limit the territory
Involved was so infinitesimal ns to
be not worth the agitation threatened,
or the expense involved In an attempt
to correot the lines if an Investigation
should show that they needed readjust
ing. Moreover, the opinion of the attorney
general in the premised Is neither final
nor conclusive. The question whether
In creating new counties, the measure
ment should be made from the court
house or from the boundary of the city
containing the count house, is as open
to controversy as before the attorney
general gave his opinion in the Grow
county case. The question, if it shall
be raised, will be decided not by the
attorney general, but by the courts.

does great credit to the tlremen, who
succeeded In saving the neighboring
houses which were scorched by the In
tense heat. Three of the buildings de
stroyed belonged to the Mackln estate,
and comprised a hotel, store and dwell
ing. The hotel was occupied by E. J.

being occupied by Mr. Moses himself.
It was also totully destroyed. The to
