Tho Trlbur.9 has opnr.c-'l n brnnr-h of
fice at No. 2D, Lnnnlw: btt'.lilins, l'ubl.c
Square, Wllktu-Ilnrro. for the transact. on
of business. Tho publishers proposo to
extend tho circulation of The Tribune in
WlHioB-Biirro and surrounding towns,
and to that end will present a very com
plete department of Luzerne county news.
For success In this undertaking depend
ence Is placed solely upon tho superiority
of The Tribune as a purvoyor of all tho
news of tho day domestic, foreign, local,
commercial and financial. The general In
terests of tho people of Wllkes-Hiirre inn'l
tho Wyoming valley will have In The Trlb
uno an earnest ndvocnte, editorially and
otherwise. It is tho purpose of the Pub
lishers to Issue a newspaper as valuable
to the general public as the metropolitan
dallies, and deliver it to tho people
throughout northeastern Pennsylvania
from three to five hours eahller than tho
Philadelphia and New York pupers can
teach them.
THAT INJUNCTION.
Ucturmiblo Next Mondny-Tho Commis
, sinners Arc Not AJnrmcd.
County Commissioners Pmlth, Nor
ton and Dullard say ithey ore not In. the
least disturbed by the preliminary In
junction granted by the court restrain
ing them from letting' contracts for the
creation of the new court house under
the Meyers plans. There Is mt much
doubt, however, la the mind, of any
one 'that the Injunction will bo made
permanent after the hearing next Mon
day. The petition of the orators com
plains that the commissioners have ad
vertised fur bids for the eroctlon of a
r.ew court house and propose to award
contracts according to plans and speci
fications prepared by one E. E. Meyers;
that the said commissioners have not
secured a site on, which to erect such
court house, nor have the plans been
accepted by them; nor have the plans
and specifications been submitted to
the judges of the court of common plena
as required by an ' act of assembly ;
wherefore the county commissioners
have no legal authority to-enter Into
a contract to build a court house ac
cording to said plans or to accept bids
for the construction of tHe same.
The petitioners therefore pray that
th" county commissioners be restrained
from accepting any bid or bids for the
construction of a court house or any
part thereof, and from expending any
of the money of the county In the erec
tion or construction of such a bulling
until plans and specifications have
been submitted to the Judges of the
court of common pleas and apporoved
by them, and until a suitable site for
such a building Is secured by them.
Attorneys L. H. Bennott, G. L. Ilal
sey and Henry W. Palmer are counsel
for the .petitioners and will make a
6trong case.
The commissioners Inugh at the pro
ceeding and seem to regard It as snme
thlng In the nature of a Joke. One
of them remarked that the Judges want
a new court house and want an ele
gant building, and will Interpose no
serious obstacle to ths plans and pur
poses of the commissioners. Doubtless,
the Judges appreciate the necessity of a
more convenient and commodious court
house, but they also have some respect
for public sentiment. They know
there Is no necessity for a million dol
lar edifice, nor will they place the
stamp of their npprovp.1 on the reckless
manner In which th"? commissioners
have proceeded in tWs matter. Nino
tenths of the people look for nnd ex
pect a permanent Injunction er.rly next
week.

MEMORIAL DAY.
How It Was Observed In Wil.es-narre
The Day's Doings.
During the morning committees of
Conyngham post, Grand Army of the
r.epublic, decorated the soldier graves
In the several cemeteries In the usual
way. Flowers wore not as abundant
ai was desired, owing to Vhe backward
ness of the season, but every soldier
grave was beautified. In tho afternoon
Conyngham post, the City battalion of
the Ninth regiment, the Sons of Veter
ans, and some civic societies formed on
uth Main street and proceeded to
irotlenback cemetery, where services
r. jre held. Addresses were made by
C mmandor Gustav Hahn and others.
After the services the procession was
re-formed and returned to Memorial
h.ll, where lunch was served by the
Women's Relief corps. In the evening
public services were held at Memorial
b-'M, where the programme heretofore
published in The Tribune was carried
out; the several aoYlresses, singing, etc.,
lng very impreailve and appropriate
to- the occasion, i Memorial Day hns
. naver been more' enthusiastically ob
served in Wilkes-E:arre than it was yea
terday. .
" MORE TROUBLE.
Local Contractors to Have Somo Fnn
With tho County Commissioners..
The Record is authority for the state
tne'nt that several Jocal contractors
v.-ho have spent a good deal of time at
the court house examining ttie plans of
Architect Meyers, and who have pat In
ib'.ds for contracts on the new court
house, propose bringing suit against the
commissioners for damages in case they
are permanently enjoined, from accept
ing bids. This story has not been veri
fied,, but no complications that can
arise in connection with this new court
house muddle will occasion surprise.
It may well be doubted If tho local con
tractors would have a case against the
commissioners in any contingency.
Probably there is not a contractor in
tho city who lias at any time seriously
believed that the new court house
would be erected in the immediate fu
ture, or by the present commissioners,
or according to Architect Meyers' second-hand
plans'. For that reason very
few contractors In this city even so
much as examined tho plans. A few,
however, have figured on estimates.
THIEVES AND FIRE BUGS.
Pnrlng Robberies nnd Kcckless In
cendiarism. The people of this city and surround
ing towns are gradually becoming
aroused to tho fact ithat the community
Is Infested by a gang of daring burglars
and Incendiaries, and It Is of the high
est importance that the utmost
vigilance by observed not only by the
publio authorities, but also by th'e citi
zens themselves. Extra efforts should
be put forward to capture at least some
of the desperadoes who unquestionably
have established their headciuurters in
this locality. The attempt to fire four
different buildings In a single nlghit has
already been noted In these columns,
as has also the robbery of Albert Lewis'
store nt Harvey's lake, and others of
smaller magnitude. To these crimes
must now be added the daring burglary
at ithe residence of Richard Martin, of
this ctty, when. tl.OOO in money and sil
verware and other valuables to an,
equal amount was secured. These bur
glaries have been committed by crim
inals who have tho means of acquaint
ing themselves with the circumstances
that make successful burglaries easy.
There Is not much doubt that the in-,
cendlary fires were Ignited by persons
In league with the burglars to facilitate
robbery while attention was attracted
to the fires. Greater vigilance by the
police would seem to be In order In this
city.
A SLIGHT EXPLOSION.
Six Men Bnrncd, but Nono of Them
Severely.
An explosion of gas occurled at No.
3 tunnel of the Lehigh and Wllkes
Barre Coal company yesterday morn
ing, by which six, men sustained burns,
but fortunately none were seriously
Injured. A gang of men were em
ployed In the tunnel driving a gangway.
Just what caused the gas to Ignite is
not known, ns-the men claim they used
only safety lamps, but It fa supposed
one ot them exposed a naked lamp.
Arthur Jones had his hands burned;
Williams Harklns and Jomes Stephens,
burned on the face and hands; Lewis
Davis, slightly on hands and arms;
Thomas Jones, very slightly on hands.
The explosion was not sufficiently se
vere ito cause any Injury to the mine.
Very exaggerated rumors were afloat
for a time, but investigation proved
them almost etvtlrely'groundless.
An Oratorical Contest.
An interesting contest took place In
tho A and B grammar grades of tho
Parrish street public school yesterday
morning, under the direction of Princi
pal Harvey and in the presence of Su
perintendent Coughlln and many par
ents of children attending that school.
In Grammar A department the contest
ants were Ethel Coronway, Francis P.
Hunt and John R. Williams. All three
declaimed Lowell's "Vision of Sir Raun
fal." The adjudicators were Superin
tendent Coughlin, Cora Hutchinson
and Daisy M. Boone. All did remark
ably well. The first prize, a handsome
copy of the "Vicar of Wakefield," was
awarded to Ethel Coronway, and- a
beautiful tooquet of roses to John R.
Williams. In Grammar B department
the contestants were Matilda Maier and
Anna Glldea. "The Black Horse and
His Rider," was recited. Matilda.
Maier was awarded the first prize, a
copy of "Arabian Nights." After short
addresses and the singing of some pa
triotic songs the pleasant entertain
ment came to a close.
Booth Coming.
It Is officially announced that Com
mander Booth, of the Salvation Army,
accompanied by (Mrs. Booth, will come
to this city about June 12 and conduct
a campaign here. The Salvation Army
have given up their hall at the corner
of Jackson and Canal streets, and have
erected a large tent on Dana street,
near Grove, where they will hold their
services hereafter. The first meeting
In the tent was held last evening. The
officers of the local Salvation Army an
nounce that they will wage a lively
campaign in this section during the
summer months, and special work will
be done while Commander Booth re
mains here. Major Hatpin will have
charge of the meetings from now until
the commander arrives. One great
meeting will be held in the Grand Opera
house.
Scared tho Burglar.
An attempt was made to burglarize
tho bakery of H. L. Moore, on South
Main street, on Thursday night. A
colored man living in the rear of the
bakery saw the burglnr working his
way 'through a window and hurled an
Iron ml3silo at him and he speedily took
to Ms heels.

evening in the First Methodist Episco
pal chapel by the Queen Esther circle.

P.
Holiday nt tho Court House.
Thero was little buslnessdono at the
court house yesterday. Sheriff Walter
served notice of tho preliminary In
junction on the county commissioners
restia-nlng them from awarding con
truitu for the erection of the new court
house, and then closed his office for the
day. , The grand Jury met In the morn
ing and adjourned without transacting
much business. Judge Rice held equity
court In the morning Just long enough
to conclude a case that was on. The'
court house presented a deserted ap
pearance for the first time in many
weeks.
Tho Sopranos Kngngcd.
Tho board of managers of the June
festival have completed their list of
artists by the engagement of Miss
Katharine Hllke, of New York city, to
sing the solo part In "The Seasons,"
and by that of Miss Anna Walker, of
Brooklyn, who will take the soprano
part In Dr. Mason's opera. Both of
these singers come highly recommend
ed. Robert Bauer, of Scranton, has the
contract for the Instrumentalists, and
a first-class orchestra will help tho
chorus interpret "The Seasons." The
festival promises to be one of the most
successful ever held In northeastern
Pennsylvania.
To Prevent Vandalism.
It Is not very greatly to the credit of
this community that Mayor Nichols
has deemed it necessary to appoint a
large force of special policemen for duty
in the cemeteries to prevent tho steal
ing of flowers placed on the soldiers'
graves yesterday by loving and rever
ent hands. It seems Incredible that
such vandalism is possible, but the ex
perience of former years warrants tho
action of the mayor. The person who
would thus despoil a soldiers' grave de
serves to be drummed out of the com
munity by the living comrades of the
dead veterans.
Burglars Again.
On "Wednesday evening thieves en
tered the houso of Richard Martin, a
coal agent, on the corner of Weller and
South streets, and made a clean sweep
of almost every article of value In the
house, Including a pocket-book contain
ing $100 in cash. All the silver, Jewelry
and a gold watch were missing. Mr.
Martin at once notified the police, who
have been constantly on the lookout,
but thus far have obtained no clue
to the perpetrators.
This town is evidently the temporary
headquarters of a gang of burglars,
for the work that has thus 'far been
done Is that of experienced men.
Stockholders' Meeting.

Say It Is Not True.
The county commissioners deny that
they have given Architect Meyers an
order for the second Instalment of $10,
000. They will have to give it to him,
however, whenever he demands bis
money. His contract with the commis
sioners Is valid and having compiled
with his obligations under Its condi
tions he will have to be paid, unless
fraud can be shown.

PITTSTON.
Memorial Day was observed m a very
quiet manner at Plttston and vicinity
yesterday, as the usual parade was
dispensed with on account of the sev
eral excavations on, Main nnd other

ing for the day. Large quantities of
flowers were taken to the cemeteries by

tho W. O. Nugent post, Grand Army of
the Repbllc, assembled at the post
headquarters at 10 a. m. and were con
veyed In wagons from there to tho
three cemeteries where the usual deco
rations, were preform'ed. The children
of St. John's parochial school had gath
ered at Market street cemetery to
assist in the exercises, and sang sev
eral patriotic - songs and appropriate
hymns In a manner which did great
credit to their tutors. The veterans
next visited the (Plttston and other

etery the veterans gathered around the
monument erected to the memory of
Dr. N. O. Nugent, and ' paid their
usual tribute of honor.

BOTTLES OF LEATHER.
The Most Antlquo Form of Liquid Con
veyance.
Bottles of leather have been employed In
Asia and Africa from the earliest times,
and to tho present day this variety of
receptacle for water or wine Is In use not
only In those countries, but to a consid
erable extent in Spain, Italy and Greece.
Wholes skins of swflie, and sometimes of
beeves, are employed, and a refreshing
coolness is Imparted to the water within
by the constant evaporation from the out
Bide of the skin.
This Is the variety of bottle referred to
In the Scriptures and Oriental writings.
The Bible mentions a tear bottle, prob
ably of glass or some metal which was
employed to contain the tears shed by the
survivors on tho death of a friend. Glass
bottiei were first made by the Phoenl
elans, and after them by the Greeks and
the Inhabitants of the Italian peninsula.
They wero eertnlnly known to the Romans
before A. D. 79, being mentioned by Pliny.
Many varltles of glass bottles of all
shapes and sizes, from the tiniest vial to
a glass Jar containing two gallons, have
been found In the burled cities. Bottles
of glass were first made In England In
lfM. They have been made of paper In
the United States, a patent having been
taken out for this manufacture In 1877.

Tholr cards were very lafge, as they were
on soft paper and tied with ribbon. Venice
Is believed to have been the first city In
Europe to use cards, some dating from
tho latter pari of -the sixteenth century
being still preserved In a museum there.
The Venetian custom found Its way Into
Germany in 100 years or so; London fol
lowed suit followed suit llrerally for the
first visiting cards In Great Britain were
playing cards, or parts of such cards.
A Wrong Start.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph,
"I say," Bald the composer's friend to
the composer, "you haven't written this
nocturne In the correct key?"
"What do you know about the correct
key?"
"I know enough to be able to tell you
that a. nocturne should be written in
night-key."
MEMORIAL DAY.
For The Tribune.
Memorial Day, the glad, sad day,
Our heritage and our's alone;
Made dear to us by those who lay .
On fields of blood unmarked by stonel
Strewn far and wide, by mount and lido.
For home they died and fireside.
d"l"ad day, when forth with flowers we
tread.
Led on by (trains of martial sound,
To deck the graves of soldiers dead
' While with us living ones are found-
Our voloes cheer, our thoughts revere,
With hearts sincere we gather here!
Bad day, when back, through fearful years
Of war and strife and death and mood,
Our thoughts return and many tears
Well up to whelm us like a flood
Sad tears, that full from one and all.
As to the call we deck their palL
Btrew flowers on this beloved day ' ,'
For every soldier boy who fell
Whether he known or unknown lay
In well kept mound or unkept dell. I
His life he gave our land to save 1
Plant fiage to wave above his grave.
Let every mother teach her son
The meaning of these tributes sweet
The cause for which they fought and won,
To praise and crown witn glory meet.
With smile and tear, once every year ,'
Let us revere their memory dear.
St, shall the love ef country swell
To patriotism broad and deep;
For blood-bought land virtue as well- .
' We'll ever a firm vigil keep.
And thus shall run from aire to son
What's nobly won 'till time Is done.
-John H. Mulkey.
