The Courthouse Squabble.

An important meeting of the public
property committee of the city coun-
Gil of Wilkes-Barre was held to hear
arguments by citizens and attorneys in
regard to the advisabiity of the city
giving the county plot of land on River
street for courthouse site. The most
prominent property owners and attor-
neys in that town were present Alex
ander Farnham said there had been con-
siderable criticism of the commissioners
for their decision to build a new court
house, but he wished it understood that,
according to the finding of two success
sve grand juries, the commissioners
have no discretion in the matter and are
under obligations to build. The recon-
mendation of the grand juries is equally
as binding as an act of the legislature.
Ex-Attorney General Palmer vigorously
opposed the change, saying that the
commissioners had no right whatever to
move the courthouse from the Square.
He said the commissioners had already
done considerable that was not right.
He was vigorously applauded when he
had finished. The concensus of opinion
was that the site should be given to the
county on ninety-nine years lease at
a nominal rental of 81 year. The COM
mittee will report at the next meeting
of the council.

She Wanted Revenge.

woman giving her name as Maude
Stewart, but who was identified as Miss
Lena FanLoon, of Plymouth, created a
big sensation at Hazleton on Friday
night by following Geo. E. Archibald, of
Providence, Lackawanna county, with a
pistol. At the hearing, which took
place before Mayor Gavitt, some sensa-
tional evidence was given. She stated
that Archibald some time ago secured a
marriage certificate and showed it to
her father and grandparents.and declar-
ed that they were married. They lived
with her parents as man and wife until
she discovered, as she claims, that he
was already married.
She then left her fathers home, and
has since been living in several resorts.
Three weeks ago she arrived at South
Heberton, and last week learned that
Archibald was in Hazeton. She made
several trips there and finally discovered
him in Evenson's saloon. Immediately
after she purchased revolver, but
Archibald, seeing that he was discovered,
left the saloon and notified Chief Pol
grean.
The chief of police arrested the young
woman and found revolver concealed
beneath her coat. She was locked up.
Her story is sad one

The New County Justified.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
Congressman Leisenring is not in SYM
patty with the new county movement
which pares away the Democratic end
of Luzerne and confers upon Hazleton
certain honors coveted for. years, and
from personal standpoint Congressman
Leisenring is justified in his opposition,
but he advances no reasons beyond the
general one that new county means an
increase in taxation. 1t likewise means
new deal in politics and in the kind in
which he most interested, as the new
county will be Democratic, with nothing
left for Leisenrings friends. The new
county scheme appears to be a
sure thing, however, despite Mr..
Leisenring's opposition, as the Kline bill
has the proper endorsement and is well
on the way through the house. 1t is the
single bill of merit of the four new
county measures before the legislature,
and is rather justified by the facts.

culars, calling upon the citizens and
property holders of the borough, to have
their premises cleaned up and disinfect-
ed, as soon as the snow gets off the
ground. 1t is expected that the people
will respond to the appeal when it is
made, so that proper measures may be
taken to have the town in good healthy
condition when the warm weather
comes. The annual report of the board
will be presented to the council at its
next meeting.

decided to give his patrons a laughing
night and has engaged for next Thurs
day evening the new "Peck's Bad Boy"

the play. There is laugh in every line
and song after every laugh. Some de-
lightfully musical numbers and special
ties are interspersed throughout the
play. The bad Boy" makes a peck of
trouble in the play, but bushel of fun
for the audience. Remember the date,

The Tigers Athletic Club is making
unusual preparations for the conduct of
base ball here this season. The club
has secured the same control of the
Tigers Athletic Park as last year, and
intends to carry on the national game
on more enterprising scale than ever
before attempted in Freeland. The
board of directors today placed an
order with j. A. Christy to furnish the
club with complete new outfit of Spal-
ding's celebrated base ball goods.
The outfit will consist of the follow
ing: Ten suits of light gray material
and blue trimmings, with the word Ell
gers" across the breast, each suit con-
tanning Chicago cap with two blue
bands, shirt, blue stockings, shoes, white
and blue belt and padded pants; one
body protector, one mask, two large
mitts, three infielders' gloves, three out
fielders' gloves, one dozen league balls.
one-half dozen model bats, and one-half
dozen wagon-tongue bats.
The goods were selected from A. G..
Spalding & Bros. 1895 catalogue, and are
the highest class goods manufactured by
that noted firm. The order was COM
peted for by several well-known firms
and individuals, but Mr.. Christy's bid of
$l97. 80 for the complete outfit, being the
lowest, he was awarded the prize.
The goods are expected to arrive in a
few weeks and will be worn by the best
amateur players that Manager Gillespie
can secure.
