MR. JADWINS RECORD.
His Friends Refer to Hia War His
tory and G. A. R. Following.
The four cornered li.u-ht for the may
oralty nomination Is on In earnest
and the vi'iions following are rapidly
aligning tip with their respective can
didates. Mi. Sander--oii Is relylmr
largely upon his admirable reiord as n.
select counednian to draw to bis candi
dacy the necessary volts for a nomi
nation, and .. U. Stevenb. who conies
from the same ward, Is depending upon
his war record and his CI. A. 11. asso
ciations to be a tower of strensth for
him, althmiKh In this respect the prob
abilities are that ('. 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.

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

lower was bid on each size of desk.

tiicudatlon.
Mr. Darker offered a motion to table
the report, as It was not written. An

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.

Schrlefer and Mr. Darker that the
award be made to Hill & Connell. The

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.

Beware
Of tho Fancy Elgin Croamory
Butter that is advertised and sold
by Bomo stores in this city, for
isc per pounu : ants is not gen
uine butter, at all, but Oleomar
garine or Butterino, and there is
not one ounce of butter in it. Tho
merchant that sells it for butter,
is guilty of tho same crime as tho
man who passes a lead dollar for
a silver ono; and tho law against
selling Oleomargarino in this state
is as strict as the law for passing
counterfeit money. Any mer
chant found selling Oleomargarine
is liable to a heavy flue and im
prisonment Oleomargarine costs
at wholesale lie. per pound, and
instead of charging tho customer
ISc. per pound, it should bo sold
for what it is Oleomargarino at
12yc. per pound, retail, m that
is its real value.
Do not bo swindled by store
keepers who advertise Fancy
Creamery Butter for jSc. per
pound, and give you Oleomar
garine. Clarke Bros

Lace Curtain
Right in mid-inventory we find a number of odd lots of Laci
Curtains that cannot be duplicated thus leaving us with only one or twe
pairs of a kind. In some cases one of the pair lias been used as a sample
and is slightly soiled. These must go to make room for spring stock.
It's useless for us to name prices here since some of the curtains are fim
goods and must be seen to realize what bargains they are. Then too, the
lots are small only one or pair tsvo at a price. The f:tct that we are not
ed for fine goods and fair dealing is sufficient in itself to guarrantee the
genuineness of the sale. Just to give you an idea of the bargains we
will say that price has been cut irom 33 per cent, to so per cent.
