" : ' QUAY COUNTY.
How tho Sons from llorrlsbiirg Wos Re
ceived in Wllkes-Barre.
'Yesterday when a dispatch was re
ceived from Harrlrtburgr ajinountlngr
that the so-called Quay county bill
had passed the house, considerable Bur
prise was expressed by those who were
not aware that on the previous day
intimations came from the state capital
to the effect that there, was Imminent
danger of the passage of the bill. Rep
resentative Grelner, of th? Wllkes
Barre district, seems to have been Con
fident to the last that the bUl would
be defeated and so advised the board
eff trade by wire on several occasions
during; the week.
No one here seems to have any doubt
that the governor will approve the bill,
and if he does not Interpose a veto U
4a nn( Imnvnliahla that 4v tho n.mi-ca nf
a few, months the sixty-eighth county
of Pennsylvania will be an established
fact. The proposed new county will
take a large slice from Luzerne, and a
mailer one from Schuylkill. Under tho
provisions of the bill which passed yes
terday nothing can now prevent the
consummation of ttte new county ex
cept an adverse vote by a majority of
the voters residing In the territory that
la to constitute It. The question now is
whether tho electors residing In Haxle
ton and Immediate surrounding county
will be able to outvote those in the more
remote townships and boroughs. It Is
very generally understood that, except
In 'Hazleton City, Hazle township-and
portions of Foster township, the people
are opposed to the new county, and will
vote against it. According to the last
census the city of Hazleton contained
11,872 Inhabitants, Hazle township, 12,
494, and Foster township. Including
Freeland borough, 9,320.
. It will be seen that those two town
ehtpa, together with Hazleton City and
Preeland borough, contain a popula
tion of 23,686, considerably more than
ihatlf; of the population In the entire pro
posed new county. It is admitted that
Hazleton and Hazla township will vote
pretty nearly unantmgusly for the new
county; Freeland and Foster township
will vote the same way by a large ma
jority. Even it the people of the other
townships should vote almost solidly
against It their vote would not avail.
The bulk of the population of the pro
posed new county Is within a radius of
a comparatively few miles of Hazleton,
the prospective county seat. The pro
lectors of tho n Attf pntmtv n.llt , V. .......
- - .. W . . TT.il inivn
the lines out Just far enough to cover
the necessary 400 square miles, and will
not take In any more of Schuylkill
county than will be necessary.
The Hazleton new county boomers
have made a magnificent flRht and to
day they feel as happy as did the people
of Scranton on a similar occasion when
the news came that the new county bill
of 1878 had passed and, would open the
way for Scranton to become the seat of
a new county:'
The good people of Wllkes-Barre will
Boon get over this untoward event. Lu
zerne will still be thn third county of
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
population and wealth. But the people
of Lucerne will now feel less than ever
like consenting to the erection of a mil
lion dollar new court house. The peo
ple of Hazleton are happy and well they
iriay be. With the erection of the new
county the city of Hazleton will receive
an Impetus that will send her well along
on a career of prosperity. Taxes may
be heavy for, a time, but the people will
not co'mplaln on that account.
REJECTION OF THE BIDS.
The County Commissioners Getting Out
, of tho Now Court llouso. Dilemma.
' Commissioner Dullard is authority
for the statement that the. board at
county, commissioners have decided to
reject all of the five bids received for
the erection of a new court house ac
cording to the Meyers plans. Mr. Dul
lard 'says the bids were rejected because
they were all too high, but declined to
give' the figures of any of them.' For
oncev the commissioners have done
something in this, new court house busi
ness for which they will be commend
ed."' By this decision they demonstrate
that they have not quite Jlost,( ihojr
heads. With a temporary injunction
hanging over their heads restraining
them from accepting bids the true rea
son., for rejecting them ' 'is apparent
enough to the average mind. Mr. Dul
lard remarked that the commissioners
would not make any further move until
after the Injunction is disposed of.
One of the contractors who had In a
bid; talked freely yesterday and said
his .own bid was conMderablty below a
million dollars, and was as' low as a
building could be erected on the plans
of Architect ''Meyers without ruin to
the contractor. The. Impression pre
vails very generally that the commis
sioners have rejected all of -the bids in
a lump as the easiest way out of a
dilemma In which they had foolishly
Involved themselves. The best thing
they can now do Is to make the easiest
settlement possible with Architect
Meyers and get out of their scrape with
him. There is still chance for the
present board of county commissioners
to retrieve themselves, -

HONESDALE.
"Buck" Taylor 1s once more to the front.
Yesterday morning Detective Michael
Moran, of Carbondale, come to Honesdale
and proceeded to the Coyne House, where
Taylor was staying. A friend notified him
that a detective was in the hotel. "Buck'
took in the situation at a glance, paid his
hotel bill, aud going out the rear door
went to the stable where the little trick
horse was breakfasting, put on Its saddle
and mounting, rode out In the road
where Moran found him later. All through
the morning Taylor was in the saddle, and
about 2 In the afternoon was confronted
with Sheriff Murphy, Constable Brown
and Detectice Moran. Taylor was very
cool, however, and In a cunning way tor
mented and finally eluded his would-be
cuptors. He would ride around allowing
the men to come nearly within arm's reach
when he would shy away. Finally he
rode back to the Coyne House, bid the pro
prietor good-bye, rode down street and
said good-bye to a few acquaintances,
then galloping to the bridge spanning the
canal at the foot of Union hill, bid the
sheriff to follow him and galloped off.
Moran was defeated, but declared he
would have his man before night. He has
left town, so has Sheriff Murphy and Con.
stable Brown, on unknown business.

HAD NO DISCRETION.
Lord Mansfield's Kcbuke to a Substitute
Judgo of Limited Caliber.
Sergeant Sayer once went the cir
cuit for some Judge who was pre
vented by Indisposition going In his
turn. He was afterward Imprudent
enough to move, as counsel, for a new
trial In one of the causes heard by
himself, on the ground of his misdi
recting the Jury as Judge.' Lord (Mans
field Bald:
"Brother Sayer, there Is an act of
parliament which, In such a matter as
was before you, gave you discretion
to act as you though right." "No, my
lord," said the sergeant, "that 1b Just
it; I had no discretion In the matter."
"Very true, you may be quite right
as to that," said Lord Mansfield, "for I
am afraid even an act of parliament
could not give you discretion."
LANG LEY'S FLYING MACHINE
Eight Feet Long and Weighs Less
Than Safety Bicycle.
A Washington special says: The Lansr
ley flying machine, which flew 1,000 feet on
a trial trip some days ago, Is a marvel of
mechanical ingenuity, delicacy and sym
metry. Aluminium steel forms the greater
part of Its frame. Its boilers and engines
weigh less than fourteen pounds to the
horse-power, and the whole structuro
welKhs less than the original safety bl
cycle. The horizontal plane section of the
body has the contour of a mackerel.
though all Its transverse sections are cir
cles.
The machine is about eight feet long,
and the wings of line oil-glased silk are at
their widest portion not over twelve Inches
across, with a spread of perhaps four feet
each. They are the wings of the dragon
fly, rather than of the gull.
Nine months in Bed. Cured in 24 Hours.
T. J. Blackmore, of Haller & Blaok
more, Pittsburg, Pa., says: "A short
time since I procured a bottle of 'MYSTIC
CURE.' It got me out of the house 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 ths olty, but I received very
little relief from them. I know the
'MYSTIC CURB' to be what it is rep
resented and take pleasure In recom
mending It to other poor sufferers. Sold
by Carl Lorens, Druggist, 411 Lackawanna
avenue, acranton. "
