HENDLER'S BIG CONTRACT.
Preparing to Employ a Large Force Of
Men on StOne Work.

One of the most enterprfsing and en-
ergetic business men of this city is Jo-
seph Hendler. He owns one of the best
and most extensive stone quarries in
the state, located on the mountain near
Laurel Run. Mr.. Hendler strikes out
boldly for contracts not only for
masonry but also to supply stone, and
he is never dismayed by the proportions
of a contract. When bids We're asked
for to supply stone for the Hudson
river bridge, at New York, Mr.. Hendler
saw an opportunity of gigantic proper
tions and he went to work with char
acteristic energy to secure 1t, and was
successful. Subsequently, the New
York Herald made an elleged expose,
charging that the official who had ap-
proved or awarded the contract to
Hendler had received a bribe, and that
the contract would be vitiated. In an
interview with a News-Dealer repre-
sentative Mr.. Hendler is alleged to have
admitted that 1t cost him $1,000 to Sc
cure this large contract, but does not
admit that there was bribery He Is
so confident his contract will stand that
he is making every preparation to COM
ply with it's provisions at the shortest
notice. This contract will enable Mr..
Hendler to give employment to some
800 men, and about SOC, 900 yards of stone
will be required. When in full opera
tion fifty car loads per day will be
shipped. and they will go over the Le-
high Valley railroad. Everybody here
Is hoping Mr.. Hendler will not be not be
disappointed. So confident is he there
Will be no hitch that he is preparing for
the erection of large building for the
accommodation Of the large force of
men to be employed. When under full
operation the vicinity of Hendler's
quarries will be one of the busiest COM
munities in this section of the state. He
says he has already received applica-
tions from thousands for employment
on this contract.

THAT COUNTY LINE.

No Hurry 10 Take Action.

The County Commissioners of Luzernc In
No Hurry 10 Take Action.
The question raised concerning the
line between Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties continued ito attract a little
attention yesterday, especially in court
house circles, but so far as could be
learned the county commissioners and
their attorney are contemplating no
step In the direction of an inquiry or
investigation. A surveyor who Is well
Informed on the subject yesterday said
to the writer that he had very serious
doubts whether Lackawanna county at
any point came within less than ten
miles of the city of Wilkes Barre. TAX
ing a map he pointed out the dividing
line between the two counties. He fig
ured thatif the line anywhere encroached
upon the ten-mile limit the territory
involved was so infinitesimal as to
be not worth the agitation threatened,
or the expense involved In an attempt
to correct the lines If an investigation
should show that they needed readjust-
ms
Moreover. the opinion of the attorney
general in the premises is neither final
nor conclusive. The question whether
in creating new counties, the measure
ment should be made from the court
house or from the boundary of the city
containing the court house. is as open
to controversy as before the attorney
general gave his opinion in the Grow
county case. The question. If 1t shall
be raised, will be decided not by the
attorney general but by the courts.

city yesterday morning attended high
mass at st. Mary's.
Reginald EeKoven telegraphs that he
cannot serve as one of the adjudicators
at the musical festival in this city in
June. He is going abroad.
An unusually large number of
Wilkes-Barre people are taking trips to
Europe at this time. They belong to
the class who do not suffer from hard
times.
Work on the foundation for the new
business block on the site of the late
Luzerne house will begin at once and
the building will be under cover before
the snow flies.
The West Side park has not been
leased as was reported few days ago.
The park is apparently not a paying
institution, although it is a splendid
park in every respect.
Mrs. Drusilla Bum wants $4,000
damages from the Traction company
for injuries she claims to have received.
This is another case Tor prolonged liti-
cation unless an amicable settlement is
reached.
Adjutan. M;llar, Of the Thirteenth,
has completed the inspection of the
several companies of the Ninth regi-
ment, and their rating. 1t is said, will
be high, as a rule, some companies
higher than othels.
Willie McGreevy, a small lad, was
viciously attacked by dog on North
Welles street on Tuesday and before
aid could be rendered the calf of one Of
his legs was badly lacerated. That dog
should have been promptly killed.
City Superintendent Coughlin ex-
presses the opinion that some new
school buildings will have to be erect
ed in this city when the Farr compul-
sorry education bill is enforced. Others,
perhaps not so well informed, believe
that the school facilities are ample for
any present contingency.

Philadelphia, May 22.-In contrast to

THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL,
Progress of an Unpleasant Controversy
That Should he Adjusted.


That Should BE Adjusted.
Every citizen of Wilkes-Barre Is, or
ought to be- interested in proper solu-
tion Of the contest now in progress be-
tween Mayor Nichols and the city
council. There is no excuse for such
clashing. If this city is to have the
kind of government the people have
right to expect and demand, the mayor,
the police and the city council must CO.
operate harmoniously for the public
good. The mayor claims that under
the direction of the police committee Of
council the police refuse to cooperate
with the mayor in any effort he makes
to suppress vice and immortality. This
amounts, virtually, to a charge that the
police committee is protecting houses
where vice and immortality are notori-
ously practiced. The seriousness of this
charge cannot be overestimated. The
mayor alleges that the president of
council and the police committee are
not only rendering his efforts in behalf
OF morality and decency nugatory. but
that they are in other ways prosecuting
him In manner not only unjust to him,
but detrimental to the welfare of the
city.
Mayor Nichols is a plucky man, and
feeling that public sentiment sustains
him in the position he has taken, he
will make the best fight he can. The
charge has been made quite freely that
the mayor has inaugurated the crusade
against vice and immortality for the
fees he receives from such cases. This
allegation he has met with the PROPOSE
tion that II the council will permit the
police to cooperate with him he will
turn over into the city treasury all fees
arising from cases in which the police
lodge information. This certainly dis
poses of the charge of selfish or mercen-
ary motives.
An ex-policeman, Albert Houck, al
leges that he was discharged from the
force by the police committee for max
ing an information against one of the
most notoriously infamous houses in
the city. He says that he would be on
the force today If he had not made
such information. This, IL true, is a
blistering reflection rFon the police
committee, and fully confirms the alle-
cations made by he mayor
1t cannot be possible that a majority
of the members of the city council en-
corse the attitude of the police commit
tee in this matter. There certainly are
a number OF members, citizens of the
highest standing. who are in sympathy
with the efforts of the mayor to i'm
prove the moral atmosphere of Wilkes
Barre. ls 1t net time these councilmen
be heard FROM?

AS he passed the undertaking estab-

and the undertaken at once put a me-

After several hours Evans started for
the home of bereavement with an ice
box, but when he reached the house
he was amazed to find scene of joy
instead of sorrow. The little one had
revived and was quite lively. The un-
dertaker drove back to his place of
