Flmt Hearing to Unearth the Scandal Connected With the Proponed New lAilldlng- Architect Met Coram Ism loner* iu the West—Had Unfair Advantage. On Friday the commission appointed by the court to take testimony regard ing the objections raised by County Com missioner Guiney to the approval of Fred J. Osterling's plans for the propos ed new courthouse began Its Investiga tion. The commission consists of At torneys S. J. Strauss, A. 11. McClintock and Frank W. Whoaton. County Commissioners Hay and Jones were represented by County Solicitor George S. Ferris, Architect Osterling by E. A. Lynch, Mr. Guiney by ex-Judge Rhone and W. 11. Gibbons, and John M. Garman appeared for a number of tax payers. The committee occupied the judicial bench, Mr. Strauss acting as chairman. All those who participated in the trip to Buffalo, Toledo, South Bend, etc., were examined and all the details were thoroughly aired. The three commis sioners told of their two trips West and their meetings with Osterling. The weightiest evidence produced to sustain the objections was Mr. Guiney** un denied evidence concerning his protesta tions to the other commissioners against Osterling accompanying them on the trip, giving as his reason that the Pitts burg architect was being given an un fair advantage over the Wllkesbarre architects. Several of the members of the advi sory board were also sworn to tell what they understood as their duties when they accepted a place on the board and the weight they believed they wore to have on tho final selection. The architect claimed that the build ing could bo erected for $500,000, but sovcral local architects were also placed on tho stand and they all were of the same opinion, that the proposed build ing could not be erected for the sum stipulated, notwithstanding that Mr. Osterling was positive that it could. Tho principal object of the testimony taken on Friday was to show that un due influence was brought to hear in selecting Mr. Osterling's plans. When the examiners again meot, Mr. Guiney's attornoys will endeavor to show by expert testimony that tho pro posed courthouse cannot ho built for the sum stipulated, and Mr. Osterling iu rebuttal will have figures on hand to show that it can. Advice to the Merchant. Your advertisement Is the news of your store; make it attractive reading, speaking through it to your customers in the satuo manner as you would em ploy in talking to them while offering your goods directly. Tho preparation of announcements ought to have your best attention. Talk simply in your advertisement; give details; lie frank, and do not oiuit prices, be they high or low. Advertise that which you wish to sell, and sell what you have advertised. There are some merchants who will say: **l have advertised and It has brought me no benefit; advertising is worth nothing." A majority of those who talk in this manner have done a little spasmodic advertising. One an nouncement cannot make a merchant's fortuno, any more than a single shot from a cannon can destroy a fort. The first should be followed by others. Re sults will Increase without ceasing, if yon ceaso not to advertise. Be persuaded of one is, that you will never overdo publicity, and that the expenditures you inako in rendering yourselves known will bring back to you a hundred fold in customers, profits and business pres tige. The subject of publicity should be considered with all seriousness. Yon will readily recall merchants who have succeeded through advertising. Learn through them the solution of tho prob lem, so simple in reality, of publicity. If your business does not go well, ad vertising will render ft better; if it goes well, advertising will make it go better yet. If you doubt the truth of the above argument, place a live advertisement in the Tkibuxk ami you will be pleased at tho good results you will receive from the small outlay of cash. Throw out your flag to the breeze today—the first anniversary of the battle of Manila bay. High-Class Tailoring. A (inn linn of sample Spring and Summer Suitings.

ROCCO DePIERRO, BOYLE BLOCK, CENTRE STREET. FKEELAND, PA., MONDAY, MAY 1, 1399, Formation of a Bl( Syndicate. A now coal company—the title being the Boston Coa', Dock and Wharf Com pany —has been incorporated under the New Jersey law. The capital of the corporation Is now only $200,000, but It is understood that it Is to be eventually several millions. The Incorporators are Charles 8. Tuckerman, Edward A. Phippen, Charles 8. Dennis, George 8. Lovejoy and .lames B. Dill. J* he first four are Boston parties, and the signif icant fact is that they are apparently not dummy Incorporators, as each represents a bank or trust company or prominent banking firm. There are rumors that the incorpora tion of this company is the first public step in the organization of the great coal syndicate which as been so often talked of lately in connection with the anthracite coal trade. The charter of the company is a very wide one, au thorizing the company not only to build, maintain and operate wharves, piers and docks, but to acquire the good will rights in property of all kinds; to engage in all forms of manufacturing and min ing, as well as numerous other enter prises. Buying l T p Trolley Koari*. New York and Boston capitalists are negotiating with the owners of the Bcranton Railway Company. It is re ported that they are In fair way to suc ceed, if they have not already done so. These same inen have purchased the Wllkesbarre and Wyoming Valley Traction Company at s4l a share, the par value being SIOO per share. The latter dual was closed in Philadelphia last week. The new owners will take possession of the lines of that company at once. If thov succeed In getting possession of the Scranton Railway Company's lines it will give them the right of way from Carbondale to Nanticoke and 145 miles of street car lines. The trolley trust is also endeavoring to secure control of the Schuylkill Elec tric Railway and the Lehigh Traction CotApany. Coßtly Election Content. It is some distinction to have the most famous local election contest in history, and yet Lackawanna county is not bragging over the LongstafT-Ivolly coun ty treasurer case, that has now progress ed one year. The total expenses of the proceedings thus far are estimated at s<>s,ooo, and only the contestant's side has been heard. In his presentation 0,000 witnesses testified. The respond ent will summon 11,000 witnesses, and probably another year will be consumed before, the end is reached. The two examiners and the two steno graphers each receive S2O per day for their services, and the witnesses $1 each per diem, as well as their traveling ex penses. It is calculated that SIOO,OOO is about all that Lackawanna county will have to pay to decide this election dis pute. Till* Jury Knew It* Hu*ln®**. The coroner's jury investigating the gas explosion at Mahanoy City colliery, by which thirteen men were burned, two of whein have since died, censured the mine officials and mine inspector. The jury declared in the verdict that "Stophen Sileski and John Stefon met death by an explesion of gas through neglect of the officials in charge and made possible by the mine inspector not attending to his duty." The verdict has excited considerable comment in Schuyl kill county, as few juries aro In the habit of hitting so high. The usual the blame on the dead. Knileavor Society Officers.
