the NonDariels in this place, and that

which were used were seven-ounce In
the Duddy-Judge contest. and that It
was for points only. A limited number
of rounds was also fought, the limit
being fixed at fifteen, which the laws of
the state allow. Therefore they claim
that they did nothing that was contrary
to the laws of the land. Notwithstand-

BASE BALL SEASON.
The Home Team vnnquishcs the Rochcs'
ter Nine by Score of s to 8.

Yesterday afternoon witnessed the
opening game of the Eastern league,
between the Wilkes-Barre and the
Rochester clubs. at Athletic park, be-
fore a large and hopeful crowd of en-
thusiastic admirers of the game. The
Wilkes-Barre club Is II strong organiza-
ton, with Honorable William $. Nc
Lean as president, II. j. DENIM and
Alexander Dick as vice president. and
Abram Nesbit as treasurer. With the
presidents of two of our National banks
occupying the principal offices in the
organization there is a flavor of iinan-
cial strength not often found in a base
ball club The merits of the players
composing the club will become APP
parent later. 1t is believed, however,
that the club will prove a strong aggre-
cation. The game was called promptly
at 34j by J. II. Gaffney, who had been
sent here by President Powers to UNI
pire the game. and who has the reputa-
tion of being one OF the fairest and
ablest of umpires. Following is the

The Tax Rccciycrship.

The periodical contest over the ap-
pointment of tax receiver for Wilkes
Barre Is again in progress. This ap-
pointment, under the provisions of a
special act Of assembly. devolves upon
the president judge of Luzerne county.
The office Is an exceedingly "fat" one,
and has been continuously held for
twelve years by J. w. Gilchrist. Others
have striven for 1t in vain all these
years. At this time Receiver Gilchrist
has an active competitor in the person
of e. ii. Chase, a Republican. who, In
former years, rendered the party excel
lent service as an organizer and man
ager of campaigns. and who was also
collector Of internal revenue under sew
eral administrations. There are other
aspirants for this desirable office,
among them Councilman Fred Reutel-
huber, whose friends claim for him the
recognition faithful and efficient party
service should command. Judge Rice

MILKES-BHRRE.

TThe Tribune has opened n branch Of
nce at No. 30, Lanning building, Public
Square, Wilkes-Barre, for the transaction
of business. The publishers propose to
extend the circulation of The Tribune in
Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding towns,
and to that end will present a very COM
plete department Of Luzerne county news.
For success in this undertaking depend
ence is placed solely upon the superiority
of The Trltene as purveyor OF all the
news of the day-domestic, foreign. local,
commercial and financial The general in
terests of the people of Wilkes-Barre and
the Wyoming valley will have in The Trib-
une' an earnest advocate. editorially and
otherwise 1t is the purpose of the pub
fishers to issue n newspaper as valuable
to the general public as the metropolitan
dailies, and deliver it to the people
throughout northeastern Pennsylvania

Philadelphia and New York papers can
reach theml.

Want to Bc Alderman.

There is a vacancy In the office Of
alderman OF the Eighth ward, caused
by the death Of the Venerable Alder
man Ziegler. Four or more aspirants
are appealing to Governor Hastings for
the appointment. The contest appears,
however, to have narrowed down to
James r. Ford and Councilman Robert
Williams, both of whom are good men
and have strong backing. The other
candidates are gentlemen named By
water and Ritter not nearly so we'll
known as Messrs. Ford and Williams.
AS the ward is rather strongly Demo-
ratio, there will be big fight for the
office next spring, no matter which of
the Republicans now seeking the APP
pointment wins.

ARCHITECT MYERS CLAIM.
His Sons Presence Means an Effort to
Collect the Second Instalircut of Ten
Thousand Dollars: but This viii
Probably Be Resisted.


Thousand Dollars: but This viii
Probably Dc Resisted.
The presence in town of the son of
Architect Myers, of Michigan, referred
to in yesterdays issue of The Tribune,
is attracting much comment and not Il
little anxiety. 1t is admitted,that the
principal object of his visit is to collect
the second instalment of $4,000, due his
father on his contract with the county
commissioners There is not much
doubt In the mind of any one that pay
ment of the claim can and viii be en-
forced. That the county commissioners
had full power and authority to make
such contract is admitted. That
they were either Willingly or unwlttinE-
ly overreached by the architect IS also
clear. Under the terms Of that con-
tract Myers has already received $lO,-
900, and the commissioners obligated
themselves to pay to him q second in
stalment of $4,000 VIXEN the completed
plans for the new court house were de-
livered. Architect Myers has COM
piled with his part of the contract, and
there seems to be no escape for the COM
missioners. The county treasurer, it
has been alleged, will refuse to honor
the order of the commissioners If pre-
sented for payment, and If he does
litigation will undoubtedly follow.
No one for a moment believes that
the new court house will be erected in
the near future, and never according
to the million dollar plan Of Architect
Myers. Injunctions will follow imme-
diately on the heels of any movement
the commissioners may make. a prom
inent Wilkes-Barre attorney discussing
this subject the other day., expressed
himself as follows: II think we can
tie the hands Of the present board of
county commissioners and defer this
new court house business until an op-
portunity has been given the people of
Iuzerne county to elect new board,
composed of practical business men,
who have some idea Of the eternal fit
ness of things. I do not impeach the
integrity of Commissioners Smith. Dull
lard and Norton. but it has been clearly
and conclusively demonstrated that
they are sadly lacking in that sound
Judgment and knowledge that should
characterize a board of public officers
charged with so great a financial
trust. There is nothing better to do
that l can see, than to fight off this new
court house project until a different
commissioners can be elected.
hs of the contract made by the
Isioners with Architect Myers is
ALIVE evidence sensible men require
to prove that these commissioners are
not proper custodians Of so great a
public trust. Give the people a chance
and they will elect board composed Of
men who will not commit such stu
pendous blunders. We have been done
out of $4,000, but there is still a fight
Ing chance of saving half a million dol
lars, and there is going to be a. fight,

NEED A NEW HOTEL,
Fine Opportunity for Some Live Citizen
to ImmortaIize Himself.

Fine Opportunity for Some Live Citizen
to Immortalize Himself.
There is not another city of 40, 900 IN
habitants in the state of Pennsylvania
whose hotel accommodations are so
limited as are those of Wilkes-Barre.
This has been a standing complaint
for many years. The tearing down Of
the old Luzerne House, to give way for
a business block, still further ernpha-
sizes the evil. There is a good deal Of
talk about organizing stock company
for the erection of a first-class hotel,
but up to this time the project has not
taken tangible form. 1t is amazing
that with all the capital lying loose
here something has not been done long
ago. There are half a dozen, possibly
dozen, men in Wilkes-Barre who have
the financial ability to follow the ex-
ample of John Jermyn of Scranton and
erect such an hotel as is now going up
on Wyoming avenue in your city, and
that Is the kind of hotel Wilkes Barre
needs. There is money in it for the
man who possesses the financial re-
sources to assume the undertaking.
y This city is fully up-to-date in all
most every respect excepting its hotel
accommodations. Every religious de-
nomination is supplied with magnifi-
cent churches, we have frst-class
places Of amusement, our public school
buildings in size and magnifcence are
unexcelled by those of any city in the
state, and our Ninth regiment has the
largest and best appointed armory in
Pennsylvania. Add to these such splen-
did edifices as Hollenback's Coal Ex-
change, Edward Willes' great building
on the Square, the Laning block, the
Osterhout building and the fine banks,
and 1t can truthfully be said that we
are lacking only in first-class modern
hotel

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER,
The Alleged Slaycrs of Barney Reick at
the Bar Of Justice.


One Of the most important murder
trials that has occurred in this county
in recent years commenced yesterday.
In November, 1893, Barney Reick was
lured from his home to the yard of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad on pre-
tense that some one wanted to sell him
a carload Of potatoes. When the yard
was reached Reick was attacked sand
bagged in the most brutal manner and
robbed Of his money, amounting to
about 5000. He was some time after
ward found in a dying condition. The
murder was involved in mystery until
more than a year had passed by, when
the case was placed in the hands Of
Herman Earrings detective agency.
Sharp men We're put to work and the
result was the arrest of James Hen
bricks, James Fisher, William Kearney
and John J. Robinson. These four were
arraigned yesterday and their counsel
asked for q separate trial for each,
which was granted, and Hendricks was
placed in the dock, while the other
three were remanded to Jail to await
their turn. The work of securing jury
was then proceeded with and the usual
difficulty was experienced in selecting
the necessary twelve. Attorneys Nc
Govern, O'Boyle, Shea and Gillespie
will defend the prisoners. The accused
are all residents Of this county and at
least two Of them are respectfully con-
nected. The victim Of the crime was
an inofeensive and thrifty peddler who
was known to carry considerable
money with him at all times. The prln-
cipal witness, 1t Is said, is a woman
named Ray Boyer who says two Of the
accused came to her house and divided
sum of money, and also that Hen
bricks confessed the same evening that
he had done up Barney Reick." Mr..
Barring appears at the prosecutors ta-
BILE and cioirns he will produce conclu-
sive evidence Of the guilt of all four of
the prisoners. The widow of the mur-
dered man has identified one of the ac-
cused as the person who came to their
house and asked her husband to go to
the freight yard, where he was killed.
