THE NEW COURTHOUSE.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE CONTRACT
GIVEN FOR ITS PLANS.
Architect Myers, of Detroit, Has Been
I'aid SIO,OOO by the Commissioners,
Who Did Not Ask for Bids or Bonds.
An Injunction to Be Applied For.
Tho Luzerno county commissioners
have placed themselves in an unenviable
position by their hasty payment of $lO,
000 to Architect Myors, of Detroit, who
was selected to furnish tho plans of tho
new courthouse. Local architects in
Wilkos-Barro and other parts of tho
county are indignant at the shabby
treatment given them, and the press is
exceedingly sovere in its criticism of tho
unprecedented and unnecessary action of
the county officials in paying a man an
exorbitant sum before he has rendered
any servico.
From what can bo learned tho com
missioners, during their tour through
tho country viewing public buildings,
saw nothing that suited them better
than the one at Lansing, Michigan.
They hunted up the architect, who was
Myors, and did not conceal from him
their delight in finding an ideal building
for Luzerne. Without giving tho tax
payers, the people who will be compelled
to furnish the money, any knowledgo of
their intention, the commissioners in
structed him to prepare plans, with
sotno slight alterations, and signed a
contract agreeing to pay him 5 per cent
of the total cost of the building—esti
mated by tho commissioners at $400,000,
but double that figure by others more,
competent to judge the cost.
Myers has the reputation of being a
shrewd financier as well as an architect.
He did not fail to notice that he had the
Luzerno commissioners "on a string,"
and in tho contract he stipulated that
110 bo paid SIO,OOO in advance. A little
thing like that was unimportant in the
eyes of the commissioners, and upon
their return tho money was promptly
paid. Tho report that this sum had
been donated to the architect before he
touched a pencil for the plans leaked
out a few weeks ago, and the public
very naturally concluded that Myers
has taken an unduo advantage of the
commissioners, has secured more money
from them than he is entitled to for the j
labor he has performed, and has made
enough out of them so that if he choose
ho can drop tho contract right where it
is, and, in the absonce of bonds, which
the commissioners did not require of
him, they havo no remedy. It is not
said that Mr. Myers will do this, but it
is said that should 110 do so he would
have already made a nice thing out of I
his brief connection with tho Luzerne
county courthouse that is to be.
One of tho commissioners has admitted
that there is nothing to hold the archi
tect to his contract except the contract
itself—nothing but tho contract to pre
vent him from dropping tho work if he
choose to do so. Of course the commis
sioners have no thought that ho will do
so, perhaps no one else has, It being re
alized that ho cannot afford to thus com
promise himself, still it is a possibility
that it would seem ought to have been
guarded against. The commissioners,
when they saw one building which he
had planned, were satisfied that he is all
right, and, being satisfied, they took his
word for tho manner in which ho should
be paid and gave him the money, as he
sjvid it was customary for architects to
receive it.
This method of doing business has
< failed to suit many who wore anxious to
see the new courthouse built, and it has
strengthened the arguments of those
opposed to a new building. The archi
tects of the county consider themselves
slighted by the commissioners, and
claim they could furnish equally as good
plans and designs as the #IO,OOO-1 n-ad
vance man from Detroit.
To offset some of the criticism the
commissioners announced they had ar
ranged with the architect to furnish
plans suitable for either tho Square or
the river-common site. This not only
failed to allay suspicion, but aroused
now opposition. It is not known yet
whero the building will bo erected, and
the commissioners are awaiting a de
cision from tho court before making a
selection, but plans drawn for either
location cannot bo used for the other.
Tho present site will require a style of
architecture which would be entirely
out of place on the river common, and
in making tho commissioners believe
4 that he could preparo one set of plans
equally suitable for both sites Myers
again demonstrated his shrewdness and
the commissioners display inexcusable
ignorance.
Tho action of tho commissioners is
said to bo the most unbusinesslike and
ill-advised proceeding ever known in
the county, and the indignation of upper
end citizens lias led them to proparo to
apply for an Injunction to restrain tho
county from orocting a new courthouse.
If this is granted the Detroit architect
will be SIO,OOO in pocket, but tho tax
payers of Luzerne will be saved at least
one million dollars.
Yet thoro aro somo people in the lower
end who do not want to break away
from lnlsgovcrnment and mismanage
ment as carried on at Wilkes-lJarrc.
Sam Boyd's Common Sense.
From the Wilkes-Burro Newsdealer.
If the new county measure passes,
and this it is likely to do, it ought to be
an assured thing inside of a year. In
that case a new courthouse will not be
of any benofit to them, and to ask that
they be compelled to pay for its oroction
in addition to the expense they will be
to in erecting one of their own, is neither
fair nor right. Wo do not agreo with
the theory and opinion that is prevalent
that bccauso they can bo mado to pay
their share of something they do not
want nor that they cannot use, that they
should be enforced into doing so.
This is the tactic of the highwayman,
and wo do not believo that tho taxpayers
of tho upper section of tho county will
approve its being done. And besides, if
the new county materalizes, and all that
portion of the county is cut off that is
contemplated, there will be no necessity
to saddle tho burden of erecting a new
courthouse on the county at all, for th 3 ■
old one will be ample for the transaction
of all public business for many years to
come.
If a new county is not organized under
the provisions of tho act passed by Kline,
then a courthouse would bo a necessity,
and as citizens of the county, tho lower
end taxables would be expected to pay
their pro rata share. That's the posi
tion tho Newsdealer takes and it is a just
one.
Jennings Signs With Baltimore.
Hugh Jennings, tho popular short
stop of the Baltimore team, has finally
concluded to play ball this season. Jen
nings, McGraw, Kolley and Keelor, the
four leading players of last year's cham
pions, were holding out for an increase
of salary. While tho basis upon which
the dispute was settled is not definitely
known, it is understood that both the
manager and players mado concessions.
Jennings and McGraw will probably rc
coive within two or throe hundred dol
lars as much salary as tho highest paid
shortstop and third baseman in the
league. There was great anxiety anion g
the Baltimore patrons of the game over
the attitude of the big four and Manager
Ilaulon and tho players received numer
ous letters urging them to come to a set
tlement and not jeopardize tho prospects
of the club at tho opening of the season.

HIGHLAND DOTS.
It seems the Hungarians of this place
are moro unfortunate in getting into
the clutches of the law when wandering
through Freeland than those of other
towns. Whether it is their defiant atti
tude or their ignorance of law and order
which compels thorn to spend a night
occasionally in Freeland against their
will matters but little, as their conduct
here at times denotes that they need to
bo civilized. On Sunday night four
more from this place wore arrested on
Carbon street, Freeland, for some viola
tion of the law and spent the night be
hind the bars in the borough lockup.
A rumor has been in circulation hore
this week that No. 1 colliery will re
sume operations again 011 April 1. While
it cannot be traced directly to any offi
cial source there are good reasons to
believo that tho report is true, and many
of our residents who are walking to tho
distant collieries of the company to work
sinco No. 1 was shut down will welcomo
a return of tho old order of things.
John McGinniss has been acting as
foreman at No. 2 breaker this week and
he is filling the same with much ability.
It is said that a selection will be made
from among the many active young men
omployod by the company to fill tho
position permanently.
Philip Wackloy is now acting as chief
fireman at No. 1, and those who are
well up in the art of generating steam
say that what he don't know about the
business is not worth knowing.
William Gallagher has returned homo
again after an extended trip to Mt.
Carmel.
Lawrence McGlnloy will removo his
family in the near future to Oneida.
Work at the mines will be steady this
week.
The employes aro expecting to see
pay day come on Saturday.
The birthday anniversary of Mrs.
Patrick Quinn was celebrated by her
friends on Saturday evening.
A now bridge 011 the breaker plane
and several turnouts have been erected
at No. 2 to accommodate the coal from
No. 3 stripping. These additional facil
ities will aid in keeping the breaker sup
plied steadily with coal.
CHURCH CHIMES.
Services at St. Paul's P. M. church,
for Sunday, March 17: Morning at
10.30, evening at 0.30. Miss Demeritt
will give her life's history and call to the

Cooper, pastor.
Rev. J. T. Griffiths will lecture at the
English Baptist Church 011 Sunday even

Lackawanna's Debt.
When Lackawanna county was separ
ated from Luzerne, in 1879, the act upon
which the separation was made provid
ed that the residents of Lackawanna
should pay their share of Luzerne's gen
eral debt. Lackawanna's share of the
debt then was about $45,000. This has
never been paid, and an effort will now
be made by the county commissioners
of this county to collect it. With the
legal rato of interest the debt will now
amount to about $1)0,000. In 1879 the
commissioners of the two counties met
in an endeavor to adjust the indebted
ness, but they were unable to agree.
In 1881 the commissioners agreed to
placo the matter in the hands of two
judges, ono from Luzerne county and
one from Lackawanna county. In July,
1883, Judge Ilandley and Judge Rice
met and argued the matter, but they
also failed td agree, and the matter was
never taken up since. Judge Rice said
thero was no question in his mind but
that the debt could bo collected, as it is
justly duo Luzerne county. The county
commissioners stato that they will at
once take steps to collect the money.
Oppose the Compulsory education Hills.
An important meeting of the legisla
tive committee of the Luzerne county
teachers last week. The subject for
discussion was compulsory education, on
which there are two bills now before the
state legislature. These bills wero care
fully analyzed and discussed. The com
mittee was unanimous that both bills
are so seriously defective that if passed
they would be practically inoperative.
The bill providing for a change in the
method of examining candidates for per
manent certificates met the approval of
the committee, as also did the bills pro
hibiting the use of public school houses
for election purposes, for the establish
ing and maintaining of public school
libraries and for preventing the stato
appropriation granted any district from
being in excess of the local tax raised
for school purposes.
Serious IVreck on the Valley.
The Lehigh Valley passenger train
which loft Hazleton at 7.30 on Tuesday
evening met with an accident near Sil
ver Brook. Two cars were overturned
by the breaking of an axle. About fifty
passengers were aboard and a number
were more or less injured. The names
of the passengers hurt who wore taken
back to Hazleton wore: I. S. Goldstein,
New York; G. 15. Leavenworth, New
Ilaven, Conn., and A. R. Dardue, of Bing
hamton, N. Y. Mr. Leavnoworth is the
most seriously injured of the three. The
other injured passengers were taken to
Delano on a relief train.
Company Store DcclHlon.
Judge Ewing's decision in the courts
at Uniontown declaring the law abolish
ing company stores to be unconstitu
tional because it places a restriction on
trade, has aroused the Monongahela
river miners and they are circulating a
petition to raise money to carry the caso
to the supreme court. The miners are
contributing liberally, and those in
charge of the subscription say that suffi
cient money will be raised this week.
It is the intention of the labor leaders to
carry the matter to the supreme court
of the state in order to get the matter
settled once for all.
New Naturalization KUICH.
Naturalization papers in Northampton
county will be more difficult to obtain
in the future. The court has given
notice of new rules, which require abili
ty to read in English and a residence
in the county of one year. They also
place restrictions on the nature of the
witnesses who will testify as to the
necessary five years' residence in the
United States, and will also fix the first
Mondays in January and October as the
only times naturalization papers will be
granted.
The Bluff Still Grows.
The Grow county boomers completed
their petition on Monday, getting 1,115
names, and D. F. Hollowpoter, R. M.
Tubbs, Wilbcr Search, M. E. Walker
Deemer Beidlcman and Charles Camp
bell left Shickshinny for Ilarrisburg,
where they will present the petition to
the governor and ask for appointment of
commissioners to proceed with the for
mation of Grow county under the act of
1878.
Must Pay SSOO for a I.icense.
The court on Tuesday decided that
the liquor dealers of Pittston should pay
SSOO for their licenses instead of $l5O.
Pittston becomes a city on the first Mon
day in April and the liquor license goos
into effect on April 1. The first Mon
day of April is the first day of the month
this year and the court decides that as
the licenses will bo granted to a city they
will costssoo.
