No Imporiunt Now Developments but n Grcnt Heal of Silence. It wn? not denied In- court hmipe cir cles yesterday that the James M. Nor ris, chief clerk of the county commis sioners, had made a confession sub stantially admitting corrupt collusion between Architect iMeyers and he cam miFsloners" offlce In ithe division of $3,000 paid out of .the county treasury as advance commission to M.ycrs. Tho one thing that occasioned purjTlse was that Norris should have compromised himself in the manner ho did. The commissioners are not very happy ovr the situation, bu't they deny In the most cmphaitlc terms the Matemcnt that the commissioners received any portion of the money. They are also very severe In their denunciation of Norris, and un hesitatingly allege thai, ha is not re rponslblo for any statement ha may make. Whatever may be the outcome of the scandal, no one doubts that th? end of the now court nous? matter Is at hand. The whole business will now collap'e. It was yesterday confidently predicted that Architect Meyers will endeavor to collect the second instalment of 510,000 under his contract wMh the commls s.oww, and If ho succeeds In getting tho money, that will be the last hetrd of him. At same time In the future, after a now board of county commls shiners shall have been elected by the people, a new court hause will bo erect- ,d, and everything done In a sensible and business-like manner. Fortunate ly for the tax-payers, their Interests in this contest are represented by attor- neys who will probe the present scan dal to the very bottom, ana it gum can be established the people can rest assured that prosecutions will speedily follow. THE LOWER END. Effect of tho Erection of Quay County on Local Politics. Speaking of the Republican county convention, to be held Aug. 6, ine Wilkes-Barre Record ra!s2s this inter estlng question: "What are we going to do with the Quay county territory? Shall we allow them representation in tho convention, and will they put up any candidates for this county? Clear ly, until the new county is rormauy erected they have the Ksht to send delegates. But they have no right to ask for representation cn thi ticket Whether or not Quay county Is erected cannot be decided before Aug. 6, but the people of the Ilazleton region are so confident that they will have a county of their own that they will not hereafter take much Interest in Lu- zame county politics. But Luzerne will still be Intact when tho convention is held, and If the Republicans of the lower end choose to send delegates they cannot be denied a voice In the con ventton. If they present candidates and can command enough votes to nominate them, clearly they cannot be barred out. It Is not at all likely, how ever, that any complications will arise, Possibly a majority of the election dis tricts in the territory embraced In the proposed new county will not send dele- gates, but they are clearly entitled to do so. The lower end will In any event tiave the state senator and the repre sentative In congress during the next two years, and If Quay county mater ializes Luzerne will be without a resi dent representative in the state senate and in congress. This is a peculiar position for the third county In the state to be In, but there is no remedy for it if the new county Is erected. But one thing Is almost certain, If the new county materializes Congressman- Lelsenring; will not be renomi nated next year without the strongest kind of opposition. There will bo a de mand for the nomination of a Luzerne county man. County pride, rather than antagonism to Mr. Lelsenring, will be the motive for cutting the present rep resentative off with a single term. MAJOR BRODIIEAD'S FUNERAL. nnrlad with Military Honorn-A Largo Attendance. Yesterday afternoon all that was mortal of Major William H. Brodhead was consigned to Its last resting place In Iellenback cemetery.

Tho Kingston Cnnl Company and Daniel Ud words Defendants. A somewhat novel and interesting law suit will come before the Luzerne court this week. The plaintiffs are l P. Cosgrove, William II. nines and O, Morthlmer Lewis, who have brought suit ngalnst the Kingston Coal com p.my nnd Daniel Edwards, demanding $25,000 for coal taken out from under the Main ptreet of the borough of Edwards vllle. The plaintiffs claim to have ac quired possession of the coal underlying this street by patent to Cosgrove and subsequently .transferred to Hinca and Lewis. Tho land was originally sur veyed by the state and laid out Into tracts and rondo. The state subse quently patented these roads to differ ent parties, some of whom sold or leased tho same to certain coal com pnnles. When Mr. nines was In the rt.ttc senate, ho says he discovered thnt the main road, running through Kdwardsville, had never been taken up by pattnt, and he had Mr. Cosgrove take It up. The strip of land is two rods wide and extends from tho river bank opposite Northampton street. Wilkes-Barre, through Edwardsvllle, and to the top of tho mountain beyond. It Is claimed that the Kingston Coal company has Illegally removed the coal from portions of this land, while other portions rf It have been robbpd by other coal compnnles, flgnlnpt which su!t3 have also been or will be brought The suit to be tried this week Is some thing In the nature of a test case, and i3 attracting considerable attention among coal men. It Is said that if the plaintiffs win th.y will make In tho nelghbo-.'hnod of one hundred thousand dollars, but It will be a long nnd stub born fight. The defendant companies will, If they lose In the lower court, take nn appeal to the supreme court. POLITICAL POINTS. Colonel Laclar In Tfc-s Tribune notes that a certain Democrat will probably oe a camtidute for congress next year, Colonel Laelar Is sometimes very fun ny In his news Items. The man he has reference to is about the deadest politi cal hack there is in sixty-seven coun ties and stands about as much show for election as Major William nines. News-Dealer. The above refers to The Tribune's mention of Hon. Asa R. Brundnge as a pc.slble aspirant for congressional honrs next year. There Is nothing funny or Improbable about this. Mr. Brundage has within the past year be come very active In local Democratic politics after having been "outside the breastworks" for years. He Is now chairman of the Democratic city com mittee and had a full delegation of his own friends selected to represent the first legislative district In the next Democratic state convention. Mr. Brundage is not a "dead political hack," but a very much revived factor in Democratic local politics. A good many prominent Democrats have their eye on him. If the new county of Quay Is erected. according to the programme, State Sen ator Kline may, If his health Is re stored, become a candidate for presi dent Judge. There will be a swarm of candidates for Chief Clerk Norris' place in the county commissioners' office. Tho com missioners have not Intimated whom they will select. Sheriff's Sales, Property of Barney McNeils, land In Plymouth, to James H. Fine for $100. Property of Steven A. Mattehack, land in ' Kingston township, to G. J. Clark for $200. Property of J. J.
