HIGHEST BID
DID NOT WIN
DICK BROS. CAPTURE SCHOOL
BOARD BIDS.
After tho Committee Hnd Recom
mended tho Awarding of tho BondB
to Ncwbcrgor Brothers & Hender
son, Agent Aloxander, of Dick
Bros., Supplemented His Bid by
Offering to Advance Much Needed
Money, and tho Board Accepted
His Proposition Nev Text Books
Adopted.
Dick Eros., of Now York, the ocennd
hest of the four bidders for tho ,50,000
3 per cent, pchnol district bunds, wore
nwmded the built of the Issue nt lust
nlnht's meeting' of tho school board.
The successful hlddcis owe their huo
ccsb to tho fact that their politic rep
resentative, Mr, Alexander, was on the
giound.
One of tho four bids was not accom
panied by the required $3,000 certified
check, mid, In consequence, was not
read. The three other bld3 were ns fol
lows: Newbcrgcr Brothers & Henderson, of
Philadelphia Fur tho $."0,000 worth of
bonds maturing August 1, 101 1, 100 42-lcn;
for tho remaining j::'0,(K)0 mntuilng in
from fnmiccn to thirty years, 101 1:0-100.
Dick Bros., of Now York For thu first
J.V.iWO worth, iwi S.-i-l'H); lor tho remainder,
100 HI mo. ,
Rudolph, ICIeybolt it Co.. of New York
For thu ilrst p),0(, 100 TOMOOO; for the re
nialndcr, 100 fJ-loovo.
Tho bids were referred to tho finance
committee to report forthwith. Tho
committee returned, after fifteen min
utes consultation, with a recommenda
tion that tho first $30,000 worth bo
placed In tho sinking fund and that the
remaining $220,000 worth bo awarded to
Newbcrgcr Brothers & Henderson.
JAYNE'S SUPPLEMENT.
Mr. Jayno moved as a supplement to
tho committee report that If Ncwber
ger Brothers & Henderson did not take
the bonds befoi") August 1, that they be
awarded to Dh Ic Bros. Ho explained
thnt the difference In the two bids was
only $800, and that if the delivery of
'the bonds and receipt of the cash was
delayed beyond August 1, tho difference
in the amount of tho bids would be
overcome by the loss in Interest, which
tho board Is paying on borrowed money.
Dick Bros, had taken previous Issues
of tho district's bonds, and their agent
stated they were prepared to take this
issue without any delays. Tho dealings'
with Dick Bros, had been very satis
factory, he added, and If It came to
pass that Newbcrgcr Brothers & Hen
derson did not take tho bonds nt once,
it would be expedient to let Dlpk Bros,
have them.
Mr. Francois at this juncture an
nounced that Mr. Alexander was ready
to bind his house to advance at once
whatever part of the $220,000 the board
needed to pay off its floating indebted
ness, provided the board would award
them the bonds. Tho board has al
ready borrowed $40,000 at six per cent,
and will have to borrow as much more
In a couple of weeks, Mr. Francois ex
plained. It might bo an economy, he
thought, to award tho issue outright to
Dick Bros.
Agent Alexander was given the privil
ege of the floor, and, after telling how
the city has lost money through delays
In cnshlng Its bonds, and how he had
taken tho last issue of county bonds
and paid for them in five days, reiter
ated tho offer ho had made a moment
before through Mr. Francois to ad
vance, free of interest, inside of two
days, enough money to pay back what
the board has borrowed from the banks,
and to take and pay for the bonds as
soon as they can be delivered.
In referring to his purchase of tho
county bonds, Mr. Alexander remarked
that sonic individuals had intimated
that thcie was some bribery In connec
tion with the deal. "There was no
bribery on my part," said he, "unless
It Is bribery to buy a high ball for a
man."
Mr. Jayno, seconded by Mr. Roche,
moved to award the Issue outright to
Dick Bros.
PROTESTS ENTERED.
Messrs. Murphy and Evans protested
that this, was unbusinesslike and un
fair. Mr. Hand thought Mr. Jnyno's
first proposition was all right, but did
not favor the second. Mr. Welsh agreed
with Messrs. Murphy nnd Evans that
as long ns tho best bidder had com
piled with all tho requirements of the
advertisement, the best bidder should
be given the bonds. Mr. Leonard Joined
in the protest against Ignoring tho best
bidder.
Mr. Murphy gave ns n further ground
of protest against tho action contem
plated In Mr. Jnyno's motion that such
conduct on the part of the board would
result in reputable firms refusing to
mako bids when the board has bonds
for sale again,
Mr. Evans made the query: "Would
wo get this supplementary offer from
Dick Bros, If they were tho best bid
ders originally?" Mr. Jayne replied
that when Dick Bros, took tho last
Issuo they advanced the board $10,000,
while waiting for the bonds to be
printed.
Mr, Jennings suggested that the mat
ter be jecommltted, with a view of
having tho committee calculate what
would bo gained by taking tho Dick
Bros. amended offer, and to bucuro
from Agent Alexander n definite writ
ten agreement as regards advancing
money,
Messrs. Evans and Murphy protested
that this was equivalent to giving Dick
Bros, mi opportunity to bid a second
time after the proposals or the other
bidders were made public. Mr. Evans
wanted to know what right tho board
hud to do such a thing, fair. Roche nn
swered lilin that tho board had n right
to do miythlng for thu good of tho dis
trict. Tho motion to recommit was carried
and tlie commltce, with Agent Alex
ander, retired to the secretary's otllce.
In ten minutes they came forth, and
Chairman Francois presented two le
ports, Ho prefaced the presentation of
tho report by stating that tho board
would saye $150 by accepting DIcK
Bros,' proposition.
The majority report, f-lgncd by Messrs.
Murphy, Evans, Leonard and Christ
mas, recommended that tho $220,000
block of tho bonds 1io awarded to New-

MR. CONNELL FOB, SENATOR.
How His Candidacy Is Looked Upon
at Washington.
Writing from Washington to tho
Pittsburg Gazette, Charles W. Metzgar,
that paper's alert Washington corre
spondent, says:
The rcnomlnntlon on Tuesday last by
tho Republicans of Lackawanna county
of Representative Council for another
term was received hero with general sat
isfaction, ns Mr. Conncll has not only
made a splendid record in congress, but
Is universally popular. A loyal friend,
ho has mndo hundreds of admirers all
over tho commonwealth. It was In his
district that tho Democrats hoped to
make one of their gains In the event that
tho Republicans nnmed an unpopular
state ticket, but with Judge Pennypaekcr
as tho head of tho ticket and Mr. Cou
ncil ns tho nominee for congress, the Re
publican majority will bo of tho usual
largo majority.
During his political career, Mr. Conncll
has shown that ho possessed many of the
characteristics of a leader and ha1 fre
quently been mentioned for higher offices.
Even now, ho Is seriously considered for
a term In the United States senate If It
should happen that Senator Penrose
could not command enough votes to se
cure another term. Although Mr. Conncll
has opposed Senator Quay In several con
tests, he has gained tho admiration of
the senior senator, and on ono occasion
the Intter said:
"Well, If Pcnioso cannot get another
term, I do not know nt any man In the
Hato that I would rather havo as a col
league than Mr. Conncll."

HIS BROTHER DID IT.
Business Man Makes a Sad and Start
ling Discovery as the Result of
Putting Officers on Trail.
Some few days ago a local master
tinner called on Superintendent of
Police Day and complained that H00
pounds of copper, in sheets eight foot
by three feet, had been stolen from his
warehouse.
Tho superintendent nnd Detective
Deiter made an investigation nnd came
to the conclusion thut the thieving had
been done by some employe. Further
Investigation proved they had con
cluded aright. Some1 of the copper,
sawed into small pieces, was found In
a junk shop, and from tho junk dealer
It was learned it had been brought
there by tho master tinner's brother,
who Is ono of his employes. About fifty
pounds was recovered, the rest having
been shipped away.
When tho master tinner was urging
the police to do their utmost to run
down the thief, he ndded that he would
prosecute him relentlessly, no matter
who he was. "I don't care which one
of my men it Is," ho said. "If ho wns
my own brother I would prosecute
him." When It nmvml Hint H imo Vila
brother who was the thief, he could not
unng nimself to cause his arrest, and
tho junk dealer, ns a consequence, also
escapes.
The police regret very much that they
Will not be ablo to nrnspnntn tlin -hiiiU
dealer, as they are certain he put the
iniei up to ao mo work. The copper Is
worth twenty cents a pound in sheets,
and twelve cents a nonnd In wmn Tho
junk dealer bought it from the thiev
ing Drainer for clgnt cents a pound.
Tho sheets wprn nvlrinntlv uuvii It,
small pieces in tho tlnshop nnd carried
away In packages of fortv nr flffv
pounds each.
The police would not consent to tho
Junk dealer enjoying any profit fiom
the deal and mndo him pay half the
value of the copper to the tinner.
NEW CASE OP SMALLPOX.

A new case of smallpox was reported
to Dr. Houser yesterday from Noith
Scranton. The victim is Gerald, the 13-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Mahon,

The parents at first mistook the rash
for some slight affection, but the physi
cian who was called became suspicious
and notified Dr. Houser.
Ho pronounced it a case of smallpox,
and had the house placarded and quar
antined. The boy was removed to the
emergency hospital. The attack is mild.

A. J. Kellerman scored one point yes
terday in The Tribune's Educational
Contest, just enough to tie 'htm with
Oscar Klpp, of Elmhurst, for second
place. "This makes two Important tics
between first nnd seventh places.
Charles W. Dorsey continued his good
work and took tenth placo "from Will
lam Sherwood, of Harford. Tho for
mer is now but ten points behind L.
E. Stanton, who is away at camp with
the Thirteenth regiment.
J. A. Havenstrite, of Moscow, passed
Harry Madden, of Scranton, who is also
absent on military duty. Mr. Madden,
however, hus scored but 16 points In
two months, so unless he gets to work
when ho returns Mr. Havenstrite Is
likely to Hold his new place.
Fred Kibler, of South Scranton.
makes his ilrst appearance today in the
big table, he having secured enough
points to cover thirty-third place, de
priving Don C. Cnpwell of representa
tion in the published list.
Joseph Newman, of Bellevuo, Is the
latest aspirant for educational honors.
He scored three points yesterday, this
being his first return.
Maxwell Shepherd, of Carbondale,
drew a little closer to the 200 mark and
seventh place.
Those who are now below tho middle
of the list should wake up to the fact
that this Is an excellent chance for
them to pick ut higher positions. The
leaders have stopped for some reason
or other and those further down should
not wait any longer to grasp the oppor
tunity presented by their lassitude.
