GEORGE METZGER'S HEARING
Given Another by Alderman Thomas and
Commuted Wit boat Ball.
Yesterday afternoon George Metittar.
the young accomplice of William Henn
Bowman chawed with the murder of
The Arab an peddler at .Red bridge, was
given a heurlna; before Alderman
ThomRS. of the Ninth ward.
Meusgar was brought down from the
la" In a closed cab by High Constable
Charles Bauer and Olllcer Evans on the
warrant which Mr. Bauer swore out for
him on Oct. 27. 1894. The squire read
the warrant and asked Metzgar what
lie had to say.
"Not guilty," replied the prisoner In a
loud, clear voice.
Constable Hauer was sworn and said
Metzsar made a statement to him and
Olllcer Evans at Mauch Chunk when he
was arrested. In which he admitted
planning the shooting with Bowman
and later killed the Arabian.
Metzgar retorted: "1 have nothing to
say Just now: my attorney -Is out or
town and 1 won't talk about the case.
Then looking at the reporters who
were writing. Metsar added: "Say, ir
there la anything said In the paper
about me, I want nothing but the
truth."
He was assured by tho newspaper
men that they would treat him fairly.
One of them -asked If he did not feel
better thHii when he was first arrested,
and he replied that he did feel a great
deal better, but vu still troubled with
a bad ear, on which the physician's
skill had not-made any Impression.
Metzgar again asked the reporters to
treat htm fairly, and said: "There was
a bad report In the Blmlra Telegram
about me, and If I could get that re
porter I would fix him." "You wouldn't
shoot him. would youT" said the alder
man, to which Metzgar replied:
"No, but t would like to use my fists
on him to get even."
"Leslie is a scrapper himself," said
the 'squire, "and he might be too much
lor vou."
"Oh, I ain't afraid of that." said Metz
gar. "I've been In a couple of fights
myself."
This raised a 'laugh, and Constable
Bauer asked Metzgar when he was In
town last before running away. Metz
gar said:
"I was here on Aug. 19. I was on the
corner of Northampton and Washing
ton streets that evening and wandered
up on the Square at 6 o'clock next
morning and saw a policeman. I was
very sick then, almost unconscious. I
was Just getting over the typhoid fever.
When I saw the oflloer I became scared
and went awiry. I then went to Mauch
Chunk to see a cousin of mine named
Mum mn, and there I was caught. I
was out west as far as Denver, Colo."
"How did you leave here the first
time?" asked Constable Bauer.
"Well. I strayed around a few days
after the shooting and then 1 became
seared and Jumped on the Lehigh Val
ley cannon fcall freight and tfent to
Mauch Chunk. I did not have any
money until I reached Trenton, where
I met some gamblers at the fair there.
When I came back to Mauch Chunk I
saw Engineer Mumaw. of the Valley
road, and I guess he squealed on me."
Metzgar was then taken back to Jail
and held for court without ball, lie la
rounding Into good physical shape
rapidly and his eye Is bright and his
color good, although from his conversa
tion it Is evident that his mind has not
yet recovered Its full strength. He took
a great Interest In theproceedlngs, and
had he been asked would doubtless have
told all he knows about the murder.
THE COMPANY'S SIDE.
what They My About the South Washing
ton Street Switch.
The answer of the Traction company
to the bill In equity recently filed by
Dr. Weaver and James Campbell was
given into the care of the prothonotary
yesterday. This case, it will be re
membered, was about a switch which
the Traction company laid one dark
night, in front of . the1 properties of
James Campbell and Dr.. Weaver, on
South Washington street. The answer
of the company is as follows:
That 4hey had a right to construct a
twitch or turnout; that the space left
between car and curb is quite aufllclent
for ordinary publlo travel; there Is no
hindrance to travel nor danger to life,
and no damage to Weaver's or Camp
bell' property; that there Is a necessity
for the switch In order that cars going
In different directions .may pass.
They further say that their right to
sonstruct and operate the switch is de
rived from a charter of Coalville Pas
enger (Railroad company the consent
of the municipality of Wilkes-Barre re
quired by said charter and the necessity
Df such switch or turnout.
The Traction company asks to have
the bill dismissed -with (their costs in
this behalf wrongfully sustained. H. 1A.
Fuller appears as attorney for Traction
company.
FIXING THE COURT HOUSE.
Work the Commissioners Have Had Done
During tho Vacation.
The county commissioners have been
busy during the summer vacation
(loaning up the court house. Court
room No. 1 has been cleaned from top
to bottom, and new window shades
have been put on. In addition to this,
the woodwork of the bar enclosure haa
been repainted, and a handsome Brua
els carpet adds greatly to the ap
pearance of the room. A Wilton car
pet has been laid on the judge's ele
vation, and everything about the room
has been cleaned in as thorough a
manner as possible, and made to look
like new. ' -.
The waiting room for the Juries has
tlso been refitted. The gloomy, dark
paper has been removed, and the walls
repapered and the woodwork' re
painted. '
juries the greatest change has been
lurles, the greatest change has been
made. Heretofore the room has been
lecldedly uninviting, the floors being
incarpeted, the beds old and rusty,
ind the mattresses dirty and evil

peted and the beds repainted. New
mattresses have been provided, and
clean, new bed-clothing now takes the
pluce of the old. The sleeping rooms
now for the first time within the mem
ory of the oldest inhabitant look quite
tempting, and wherever the commis
sioners have touched there are evi
dences of newness and refreshing
cleanliness.
ENLARGING THE JAIL.
The Scheme to Render the Prisoners
More Comfortable,
The county Jail Is badly overcrowded
and ever since the beginning of his
term Warden Boland has been at a loss
to know what to do with his extra pris
oners. A few days ago 172 men were
confined In the Jail, and us only three
have been discharged since, there are
still 16 in Jail; and the healthy cupacity
of the prison is only loi For a year
past it has been apparent that some
thing must be done to accommodate the
Immense crowd of criminals and the
county commissioners - have taken the
matter tu hand. Several schemes have
been proposed, but as yet none have
been adopted. Among them is the ex
tension of the wing, commencing at the
boiler house. Into the side of the hill at
the rear, and the other is the entire re
moval of the hill. If the former Is
adopted, it will be detrimental to the
health of prisoners. The cells will have
the appearance and every condition of
those on the basement floors, and will
be damp, gloomy a-ntl unhealthy. IBut
If the entire hill is taken away an ad
dition of any desired size can be erect
ed and atlll be a healthy place. The
hill is composed of shelly rock, which
oould be used to good advantage on the
streets or on the river bank. Whatever
changes are to be made must be made
at once.j .

No bonds Sold.
Quite a large crowd assembled at the
arbitration room in the court house
yesterday morning at the sale of
Kingston school bonds. At the recent
election the people voted to Issue Sl.SGO
In bonds to meet the expenses of a new
school building. The matter was made
legal by a resolution of the school
board to take effect. In transcribing
the record in the clerk of the court's
office an error was made by use of the
word "Inclusive" by which It appeared
that the total Issue might be construed
as $19,100. In order to correct this rec
ord and have everything beyond doubt
the sale of today was adjourned for
one week, to Friday, Sept. 6 at 10 a. m.

contract. Last Sunday vthe work of
driving the piles at the railroad cross
ing was begun. The trains running
through the week days made this neces
sary. The crossing in Mooslc will prob
ably be in place In about two weeks,
and the road completed and In running
order by Oct. 17, as the difficulties with
property holders on Broad street are In
a fair way for amicable settlement.
