Possibility of 1t Securing the Latin

In yesterdays Tribune there APP
peared an Associated Press despatch
from Wilkes Barre announcing that
negotiations are under way for the
purchase by the Delaware and Hud-
son company of the collieries of the
Latin and Langclife Coal company at
Lailin and Avoca, respectively.
The local officers of the company
say that while the story Is partially
true the matter has not yet reached
a stage where 1t might be said that
negotiations are on. Two parties have
asked If the properties could be bought
and an affirmative reply was given in
each instance. Engineers who are. 1t
is understood. representing the Della
ware and Hudson company, have been
looking over the properties for some
time past, but nothing in the way Of
an offer or in fact any other dealings
tending to a transfer have occurred.
Both properties are on the line Of

SALE OF JUNK
BY MINORS
LAW SAYS IT rs ILLEGAL TO
PURCHASE FROM THEM
In the Porter Gases Which Were
Called Before Judge Edwards for
Trial Yesterday Attorney John F.
Scragg Raised the Point That the
Law Which Was Passed In 1890
Is Contrary to the Constitution.
Judge Refused to Quash the In
dictment on That Ground.

Before Judge Fl. NJ. Edwards yester-
day Attorney John +. Scragg raised
the question of the copstitutionalty
of the act of 1899 which makes II q
misdemeanor to buy junk from MIN
ors. This is the first time the matter
has been before the court and was
raised yesterday in the cases against
Alomanzo and AlonZo Porter. the West
Lackawanna avenue junk dealers who
are charged with receiving stolen
goods. buying from miners, and fall
ing to keep record of purchases or
junk as required by law.
After the case WIS called Mr.. Scrasg
filed the following paper asking that
the indictment be squashcd:
Tho defendants in this respectfully r"-
quests that the Indictment in this case against
them be quashcd.
First Because the act OF assembly or 9th OF
May, 1890, p. L. 1890. page 2i'. under wh!rh
the indictment is drawn. is unconstitutional in
that il is in conflict with Article |. Section OF
the constitution of Pennsylvania in that ii pre-
vents defendants acquiring and possessing
property.
Sccond-Becausc said act ot assembly is i'll lit
rect conflict with Section y OF Article ! OF the
constitution of the United States III that 1t M
pairs the obligation OF constrains.
Judge Edwards refused to quash the
Indictment. and Mr.. Scraeg had an eX-
ceptlon noted. In the event of the con-
vction Of his clients, an appeal will
probably be taken to the Supreme court
and the constitutional point involved
tested. A jury was secured in the case
yesterday afternoon, and this morning
the work of taking testimony will be-
gin. The other cases heard yesterday
We're.

The exact nature of the new industry
which is to be located In the Kevser
Valley, in West Scranton, through the
efforts of the board of trade. as previ-
ously mentioned in The Tribune. can
now be disclosed. 1t Is to be u rolling
mill, with a spike mill and Il galvaniz-
ing plant in conjunction.
The name of the firm Is Timmes &
Hecht. and they come from Brooklyn,
n. Y. where they are at present
located on North Sixth street. Mr..
Timmes and his father before him have
been in the same business for sixty
years. Mr.. Hecht is IL new partner,
taken in within the past two months.
MIR. Timmes was in the city vester-
day with the plans and specifications
for the foundations for the buildings to
be erected, and was to have met a
number of local contractors In the
morning. He discovered, however, that
a change would have to be made in the
plans before he could secure bids, and
he accordingly left them with local
architect for alteration.
Hc left on the $50 train for New
York. leaving Instructions with Secre-
tary Atherton to secure bids on the re-
vised plans and forward them to him
for consideration. Hc will return here
next Monday, when he will confer with
Mr.. Hecht. and award the contract
Mr.. Hecht will arrive the latter end Of
this week and will permanently locate
here.
TO RUSH BUILDINGS.
The idea is to get the foundations of
the buildings completed before the
snowy weather sets in, so that the
work of erecting the superstructures
can be commenced in the spring, as
soon as the weather permits.
There are to be five buildings and
after glance at their dimensions 1t
is not surprising that 4 1-3 acres of
land were purchased by Messrs. Tim
mes and Hecht. The buildings and
their dimensions are as follows:
Rolling mill. 200XS0 feet; spike mill.
15Ox5O feet; galvanizing plant, 125X25
feet: warehouse, 150XS0 feet; office,
3OX5O feet.
All the buildings will be of frame
construction. one story high. On ac-
count of the nature of the industry
it is probable that the ceilings will be
at least twenty feet high.
In the rolling mill, the machinery
for which is being now purchased by
Mr.. Hecht, the iron rods for the manu-
facture of spikes will be prepared. The
firm manufactures railroad, boat, ship
and dock spikes of all kinds and all
sizes. At present they buy their bar
iron already prepared, but they have
decided that it will be cheaper to pre-
pare it themselves.
GALVANIZING PLANT.
In the galvanZing plant, which is
new industry in this valley, they Will
galvanize certain varieties of their
spikes and will be prepared to do any
and all kinds of galvanizing work
which may be sent them.
They expect to have their plant in
operation by the early part of next
summer 1t is understood that Sec
retary Atherton's estimate of the num-
Der of men who would be employed
was much too conservative and that
when operations are commenced no less
than $50 men will be given employ
