tracts to Complete the
Work.

Now that the Legislature has opened its
purse strings and awarded $23O000 for the
completion of the construction of the
Railway Reformatory the Commissioners
have lost no time in advertising for bids.

Boilers, steam heating and ventilating
apparstus-To e. Keeler Co., Williams
port, Pa, for SIG, $50. hi
These make total of 500. .671.74, leaving
a balance in the hands of the Commis-
sioners of 81, 1896. This sum, at a later
building hospital. The contractors have
filed Jiiefr bonds and the work will be
begun immediately
An interesting feature of the bids is
that when the Commissioners went before
the Senate Committee to ask for the $780,
900 appropriation, Senator w. NJ. johnson,
the chairman, put an expert, one H.
Dixon, to work to figure out his views of
the necessary money to finish the build
ing When the Commissioners and ex-
pert's figures were submitted 1t was found
that The Commissioners estimate was
below that of Mr. Dixon, an undeniable
proof Of the sound Judgment and economy
displayed by the Commissioners In the
details of the estimates the expert S
figures were in some instances above and
in others below that OF the Commissions
ers and IN the aggregate above The
just what was originally asked. There
will be no wigging for IAN additional sum
TO finish the work because this has gone
up and that gone down and we couldn'
foresee what 1t would COST

before Judge Murasky at the opening of
the afternoon session. George D. Colllns
represented the petitioner and George b.
keane appeared on behalf of Justice kerI
rigan. Attorney Collins made a technical
fight for the liberty of his client on the
ground that the. commitment simply
stated that the acts committed by Howe
were Intended to interrupt the due
course of the trial" instead of tend
ing to interrupt the due course of the
trial" Mr.. Collins contended that the
word intending" simply denoted a men
tai process on the part Of the petitioner,
and If such intent did not result in the in
terruption of the trial no contempt was
held that the words Intending" and
tending" are synonymous and denied the
writ. A stay of three days was granted
at the suggestion of Attorney Collins, and
In the meantime the Supreme Court viii
be called upon to determine the legality
OF the commitment. Mr. Collins holds that
the presence Of the word Intending in
stead of tending" makes the commit.
ment fatally defective, and decision OF
the Supreme Court on this point will be
of great value to Howe as well as the rest
of the commonwealth.
