P. Jadwin will off set him, as Mr. .ladwln's friends claim that his record a.s a soldier is unsur passed and his Grand Army following W let-Ion. Captain Moir Is counting upon the same element which pave him a fruit less support three yearn apo, but will have some dlllleulty In placing his hands on this particular following this time. Mr. Jadwin appears to enjoy one considerable advantace over any of the other candidates In not having token Fides as a rank factional partis an in :in of ibe campaigns for a num ber of years, although his party spirit has always been uumlstakeu enough to place him in the ranks of the out-and-out party Republicans. The usual tricks of small polities are coming into evidence this year In the mayoralty campaign somewhat earlier than usual. A little (lurry was occa sioned yesterday morning among the local politicians by a story put In cir culation by one of the candidates to the effect that a deal was on between (. P. Jadwin and Captain Molr where by the captain was to be the benefic iary. This story was later found to be only a feeler. Mr. Jadwin stated posi tively that he was In the race for him self alone and that he was going to stay In on that plan to the finish.

Authorized a Contract for School Desks with a Firm Outside of City and Turned Down a Home Firm Who Made the. Lowest Proposal. Award Was Not Accomplished Without a Great Deal of Opposi tion, But the Nccossary Throe Votes Were Lacking, The boaid of control gi'avely Went on rceoid last night and awarded a contract for Bijn ilenkn and 72 front and rear seats to a linn whose proposal was about $lon higher than that of the lowest bidder. The award was not made, however, until after a lively bit of futile verbal sparring and obstruc tion, Kane & i'o., of Itaclne, AVIs., got the contract on the following proposal: Nos. 1, i and Si's dcks, $2.30; ", 4 nnd 4li, $2.'J": .". and . $2. IS; rear seats, $t.U.". The Hill & Council company bid, wiiU-h was the lowest, was J'.'.uJ, $2,2S, $2.13 and $1.SS. Those Ilgurea were on ball bearing seals: for friction scats, the kind offered by Kane & Co., 29 cent lower was bid on each size of desk. 'I'homas Flood proposed to furnish one of two types of desk at prices In ex cess of those named by either of the other blddeiM. Mr. Hehiiefcr. chairman of the build ing committee, reported a recommenda tion of four of the live members who hud considered the bids that the nward 1 be made to Kane & Co. Mr. Schrlefer j favored an award to Hill & Council. Messrs. Knchc. Davis, YalMh and Shires made the Kane & Co reconi tiicudatlon. Mr. Darker offered a motion to table the report, as It was not written. An amendment by Mr. Davis ihat the award be made ni recommended was declared out of order by President Francois. Mr. liarker's motion to table was lobt by 11 vole of S to 12. MR. MAY ASKS QUF.STIONS. Mr. May addressed to the president several linpiirics as to Mr. Davis" rea sons for favoring an award on a bid that was not the lowest; he also asked the president If Controller Phillips r-p-lesentcd Kane .. Co. To the latter iiuery Mr. Phillip took serious excep tion, but Mr. May explained that his remark had been addressed to the pres ident, that be did not Intend to be Im properly personal, and that his ,ole motive was to know the facts and then do his duty, which was his sole right. Mr. Phillips then asked that the bide be re-read, but lie objected to tho reading being done by Mr. Schrlelor. President Francois overruled this ob jection and Mr. Schrlefer remarked with some sarcasm that he had before him the Kane bid If that wns the one In which Mr. Phillips wns interested. The bldri were then read by Mr. Schrlefer. after a motion had been made that he perforin that office. A motion to award to Kane & Co. wan amended by a motion of Mr. Schrlefer and Mr. Darker that the award be made to Hill & Connell. The amendment wns lost by the following vole: A ves-Messrs. Casey, May, Jennings, Schrlefer, Darber, Langan, Gibbons, Francois S votes. Nays Messrs. Shires. O'Malley, Davis. Phillips, Hoch". Shafer. Nculs, Waleh. Jayne, Hvaus, Sehwio-s, Leonard 12 votes.

IKE SEIDMAN HAS RETURNED TO CITY HIS FAME HAS NOT TURNED HIS MASSIVE HEAD. Hnd a Talk with Williams in This City Yesterday, Ho Said, and Ho Will Havo Him at the Heaving on Wednesday Is Propared to Con vict tho Monaghans Even Without tho Testimony of Willinms Ro fusod to Say What Corroborating Testimony Is. "Ike" Scldimin, the young man who has been breasting the breakers of fame during the last few days because of bis connection with the Monaghan arrests, was at homo to his friends In this city yesterday. Considering the amount of fame that has come so suddenly to the young de tective Ills behavior Is somewhat re markable. He remarked with affected carelessness that he had done nothing so very wonderful. True, Sllverburg, Tlerney or Leysbon could not have se cured a tittle of the evidence obtained by him, but he does not feel like throw ing any bouquets at himself on that account. They nro not In his class. "Where Is your friend, Williams, now?" queried the reporter. "I can't say where he I just at this moment," replied' tho modest Hawk shaw, "but be was In Scranton today. 1 left him just a little while ngo." "Did he come here to havo a confer ence with you?" was the next ques tion. Scidman allowed his tawny eyes to rest on the reporter for an instant and withering contempt wns written on ev ery feature of bin somewhat uneven countenance. Tim reporter dropped against the nearest support and tho detective then withdrew his eyes from the limp form and slowly turned them upwards as If to read In tho celling the hidden meaning wrapped In the report er's apparently Innocent question. He tapped his somewhat prominent njsi for an Instant and then ngaln directed his eyes toward the reporter, this time, however, In a gentle questioning man ner. THE REPORTER DARED. The great man was not very angry after all the reporter decided, and he made bold to ask another question. "Will you have Williams at the hear ing Wednesday?" "Why, certainly, certainly I will," quick as a flash came the reply, nnd this time It seemed that Seldman fairly hissed the words. His face meanwhile was mantled with an ngry flush. He was pained to have such an ut terly superfluous queatlon put to him. "Will Williams repeat the state ments you say ho made to you about the connection of the Monaghans with tho killing of Corcoran?" This time "Ike's" nnger was truly picturesque In Ita outward manifesta tions. For a moment he hesitated and It was clear from the spasms that con vulsed his mobile face that a mighty struggle was going 011 within him. He wa evidently trying to decide whether to fell the rash questioner and leave him prostrate at his feet or treat him with solemn and profound contempt. Evidently a suspicion of the humor of having such an Idle question put to him came stealing Into his teeming brain for, with a look that was In tended to be patronizing and at tho same time convey an idea of pity, he said: EVIDENCE TO BURN. "Yes, I'll have Williams at the hear ing In Wllkes-Rarre Wednesday, and even If I don't we ve got evidence en ough to convict the Monaghans with out him. He told the same story to a number of persons. You don't sup pose we went Into this case with our eyes shut, do you!" demanded Seld man with a really ugly look. "Would you mind telling me what the corroborating evidence consists of?" was the next query that assailed the detective. "You think I'm a geezer, not a de tective, I guess, uon't you?" said Ike with some warmth. "I've got the evi dence all right. Walt and you'll see." Then tho great man relapsed Into an ominous silence. Plainly ho wanted to be alone with his surging thoughts and the reporter withdrew. Another Arrest Made. The following dispatch was received by The Tribune last night: "Wilkes- Darre, Pa., Jan. 9. Another arrest was made In the Duryea murder case to day. Thomas Clark was taken Into custody at Duryea and brought to this city. He was arraigned before Justlcei Donohue and after a preliminary hear ing was remanded to Jail for a further hearing on Wednesday." Clark Is one of the persons Involved In the alleged confession of Williams. From Pittston. From The Tribune's Pittston corre spondent the following was received last night: "Dolph Glennon returned to Pittston from lite trip to New York at an early hour this morning, whither ho had gone to consult with Sergeant Reap, of that city, In regard to the latest turn of affairs In the Corcoran case. "When Interviewed by The Tribune reporter, Mr. Glennon was very un communicative In regard to his visit, but he was very severe In his remarks bb to the nlleged detective work of Scidman. Ho wanted to bo quoted as saying that whoever was the cause of the arrest of the Monaghans should bo arrested hlmelf. This would Infer that Mr. Glennon Is confident some thing Is wrong In tho present state of affairs. "In Duryea today 'DP Williams was at the Corcoran hotel and emphatical ly denied that ho ever had any con versation with Seldman, or told to hlin or any other person tho story that ha been to prominently published. He threatens to bring an action for libel against those who were responsible for Its publication. The ono sentiment In Uuryea today 1b plainly against tho recent arrests.
