WILKES-BARRE.
TUE CAR I RIGHT CASE.
Agoay of tho Villkes-Barr Guests
t
Mid vale Hotel la Set Over.
The court room was filled with spec
tators yesterday morning, assembled
principally to hear the sentence Im
posed upon James A. Cartwright. the
convicted keeper of the notorious baw
dy house at Mldvale. but because Judge
Lynch had heard no evidence as to
the time the house had been In exist
ence, the imposition of the sentence was
postponed until Monday.
At 2 o'clock In the afternoon, how
evei. District Attorney Fell notified the
court that he had several witnesses to
testify to the character of the house
and also to the length of time the house
was of a disreputable character. The
first one called was Richard Flecknoe.
who te? titled as follows: Was Cook
in the Cartwright house. Saw men
and women come there frequently.
Suw them In private roums together
and served them with drinks while
there. They were not husband and
wife. Here willies mentioned the
mimes of severu I well known women
about town.
Cross-examined Cartwright ran a
store Just above the- hotel. Homer
Tasker and Stina Luca were his bar
tenders at different times. At this
point Judge Lynch asked If the Cart
wright house was licensed, and upon
learning that It was hp said: "Bring
me the petition. I want to see the
names of the respectable citizens who
asked the court to grant this man a
license."
While Court Crier Burnes was gone
the petition Stina Luca. the bar
tender referred to in Flecknoe's test!
mony, was called up.
"I live at Miilvnlo, Worked for Cart
wright us bartender and teamster
seven months. Saw men-and women
come there regularly;' Served them
with drinks while they were in private
apartments."
At this point Judge Lynch notified
the clerk to make a rule to show cause
why Cnrtwrlght's license should not be
revoked, and made It returnable at
next argument court.
But this Is not the end of the Cart
wright matter. There are a few sur
prises in store for some of those who
figured prominently in the case.

On Friday a miner .'employed at the
j Aiaituy colliery detected Kodriok Horf
I man stealing a car from another miner,
named Josenh Fed I in.- The latter was
notified of the theft and went at once
to Uhe olllce of Jusric McOwen and
j swi)re out a warrant' for the arrest of
Hoffman and this was placed in the
I hands of Constable James McManus.
I who caught Hoffman -as he stepped
I from the carriage after his work was
i over. To oblige Hoffman, the constable
! went with him. to his boarding house
j so that he might change his clothes.
Arriving there, trie boarding boss and
his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Poklvits,
invited McManus into a room to talk
matters over while Hoffman was chang
ing his clothes.
They were very sociable and made
it quite pleasant for the constable. Fin
ally the latter thought he had given
his prisoner sufficient time and arose
to hunt him up. Going to the kitchen
he saw a window raised and a subse
quent search of the house revealed that
Ho' man had given him the slip. A
warrant wes then sworn out for the
arrest of Yoi-kovlt and his wife, and
they were taken before Justice Mc
Owen, who lined them 115. Hoffman

It is announced on what seems good
authority that the 'recently organized
Wllkes-Barre and Northern Railroad
company is about to beglii'Hieratlous.
At any rate, right of way settlements
are being negotiated, and Judging from
the great number of foreign laborers
that are gathering at and near Dallas,
the word must have gone out to pre
pare for work. Engineers have been
working ou the road since mid-winter,
says the Dallas Post, and It Is said
that a satisfactory location has been
made, although many engineering
problems have been presented.
The Wllkes-Barre and Northern
Railroad company Is composed largely
of Wllkes-Barre men. and the line pro
posed extends from the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad In
Luzerne to the outlet of Harvey's
Lake.

OAPOLIO.
FOREST CITY.
Tli- verdict of $ recently rendered
In the case of Thomas Clune against
the borough of Forest City calls special
attention to the fact that the sidewalks
In this place should at once be put in
proper repair. We. do not propose to
enter Into the merits ot this particular
cane wherein the borough has been held
liable for damages, but putting it aside,
the fact re-.nalns that the sidewalks are
now and have been for two or three
years :ast In a condition that Is not
only disgraceful but dangerous. Loose
planks and holes have existed and now
exist In numerous places and the bor
ougu has been liable at any time within
several years past to become defendant
In lust such a suit as that which was
decided against It recently at Montrose.
The costs and Judgment In the Clune j
suit vould have gone far toward build- ,
lng sidewalks throughout the uorougn. ,
even had the corporation had to stand I
the expense of laying them. But an
ordinance exists and has for some time
been in effect providing that where
there Is a necessity of a sidewalk or
where .no already laid needs repairing
the clerk of the council shall notify the
person whose property the section
fronts to either lav or repair the walk
ns the case nuiy be and if the property
owner f ills to il this in ten days that
the street cummissioner shall be In
structed to do the work and that the
amount shall be charged against the
property owner and collected from him.
In no case, I think has this ordinance
been put into effect, but if it had been
faithfully enforced. It Is probable the
last verdict for damages would never
have been given. We do not say this
to condemn the councilmen for I believe
they have been conscientious and have
done good work pem-rolly. but I do
think that this incident should impress
itself on them in such a manner that a
strict enforcement of the sidewalk or
dinance shall be made from now on.
A special meeting of the council will
be held this (Monday) evening. ,
A number of months ago some of th
business men nwoke to the fact that a
board of trade would be a splendid
thing to have. They organized one and
the membership included most of the
piominent citizens. .Meetings were held
weekly and much Interest was uroused.
A bridge across the Lackawanna was
agitated and the board succeeded in
getting the commissioners of Wayne
and Susquehanna counties to come here
and see If a bridge was not needed,
suggesting to them that the counties
ought to do something, as the bridge
would connect two. county thorough
fares that would make a direct route
between Honesdale and Montrose and
also suggesting and Bhowlng conclu
sively to the Wayne county men that
such a bridge would be a very great
accommodation to residents of Pleasant
Mount and Clinton townships, who find
Forest City the best market for their
produce. The counties were not ex
pected to do all. Forest City borough
was to bear part of the expense. It was
intended to ask the Ontario and West
ern company to share a part of the
burden, as the bridge would connect
the borough with its depot, and Super
intendent W. A. .May, of the Hillside
Coal and Iron company, kindly offered
to do the tilling in that would be necest
sary in building a structure. The com
missioners looked as wise as they could,
promised nothing, admitted nothing,
dined in Btate at the Forest house and
departed, leaving the crest-fallen
board of trade men disconsolate and
dejected. Then the board took up the
matter of organizing u local company
to manufacture mine cars with the Gal
lagher patent axle box. Enough sub
scriptions were secured to organize a
company and since then the Forest City
car and .Manufacturing company has
erected works and is turning out the
best mine cars In the market, equipped
with the only pructlcul self-oiling axle
box. After this piece of good work the
board rested on its oars, metaphorically
speaking, and has rested there ever
since. A meeting has not been held
In months and probably many people
have forgotten that such an organiza
tion ever existed. Mayhap tt Is not
dead, but sloepeth, but the chances are
it is as delunct as Pharoah Rameses.
Yet had the members kept up the or
ganization and worked as earnestly as
they did for awhile, who can tell but
that they might have accomplished
something of lasting benefit to the
place during the months that have In
tervened since the car company was or
ganized? Express matter from the Ontario and
Western railway is once more delivered
free in Forest City. Reason teams
can wade the Luckawnnns.
R. W. Taylor and W. T. Davlss, of
Olyphant, were visitors !u this borough
Friduy. Mr. Davies was for a number
of years In business here.
Saturday morning about UU5 tin was
discovered in the building occuoled by
W. H. Wlldenherger as a Jewelry stere.
An alarm was given before the lire hail
gained much headway and the Enter
prliic Hose company was souu un the
ground and had two streams playing
on the flames, one from the rear and
one in front. Later '.he Hillside com
pany got a stream turned on the rear
of the building. The structure was
covered with a tin rouf and it was very
difficult to get at the flames, which
were mostly in the interior or the build
ing on the south, occupied by V. M.
Carpenter as a butcher shop and owned
by Mrs. J. R. Davis, but did not make
much progress before the flames were
subdued. It took two hours hard
lighting to get the Are under control,
buf finally Its progress was stopped.
W. H. Wlldenberger and W. J. Maxey
owned the building In which the Jew
elry store was located. It was entirely
gutted by the flames and Mr. AVIlden
berger's s'ock was almost entirely
ruined. His loss will be about )L',5u0
and he has an insurance of $1,800 in the
Couch agency at Carbondale. F. M.
Carpenter's loss was about M and It
Is covered by liu-iirance in H. W.
Brown's Forest City agency. Mrs.
Davis also had the building Insured.
The building occupied by W. H. WU
denberger was Insured for $100. It Is
said that suspicious lujking characters
were seen lurking In the rear of the
building Just previous to the fire and
It Is suspected It inuy be of incendiui-y
origin.
A. F. Foster, of Uuruwood, was a
visitor In town Saturday.

At the last annual gathering of the
British Medical association Drs. Thom
son and Hewlett made the startling
announcement that each dweller In all
large cities inhales, on an average,
about fourteen thousand microbes per
hour. These microbes are all retained
within the body, for expired ulr con
tains no germs.
Fortunately, the healthy body Is Itself
capable of destroying these Invaders.
The great danger lies in a lowered tis
sue resistance produced by colds, al
coholism and Indeed any excess which
lowers the vitality and so opens a gate
way to our small but powerful enemies.
