The Colorado senator made a vehement appeal for early action up on the Quay case, audit wan decided liually to take up the case. There was an exciting scene iu the House April 4, as the <jlimax of a dis cussion of the Kentucky situation, when Mr. Wheeler, a Kentucky Dem ocrat, and Mr. Pugh, a Kentucky Re publican, faced each other from oppo site sides of the main aisle and in dulged in a wordy duel.

An Elopement, Death by Fire and Possible Monument. Edward MoMrton and the wife oC Samuel Rook of Poughlceepsie, N. Y., ran away several months ago. Now comes the news that both mot death in a fire at Hartford Conn. Rook and Morton, both Englishmen, j came to Rochdale not long ;d,o. as ex pert weavers. They revived high salaries. Morton had been p student at Cambridge University England. He was the black sheep of a lino English family. Rook liked the hand so tie young Britisher and took him to his homo presided over by his hamtsonv wife. He suspected nothing wrong even when the two disappeared. lie alone of all In the village refused to believe they had run away together. Morton a few days after the elope ment got a good place in the big Cheney factory in Hartford and went to housekeeping with the v, ifo nf his former friend whom he introduced as Mrs. Morton. Soon afterward their house caught fire and both wtfr© so badly burned that they died within forty-eight hours. They were buried side by side as husband and wife in Spring Grove Cemetery. When word of the tragedy reached the dead man's motner In England she wrote back in agonized words for par ticulars. This led to an inve-ligation and Mr. Cheney sent for r <> facts. A can of kerosene which they were using to build the kitchen fli c exploded and burned both badly. They died within a few hours of each other. They were without funds, so Col. F. W. Cheney bore the expense of tlieir burial. When taken to Hie hospital the two were suffering great pain, but each insisted that the other should be cared for first. A subscription paper is being circulated for a monument for the couple. ROBBER BAND USE PISTOLS Shoot, Bind, Gag, and Rob a Watulimau and lilow Open a Safe. A gang of six burglars, supposed to be those who have been operating along the line of the New York and New Haven Kuilroad's suburban line, have began their jvork In Larch inont and Mumaroneck. At the lirst place they were surprised In an effort to enter the post office, and after an Interchange of shots disappeared. An hour later they turned up at Mama roneck, where they had a successful evening In every thing except that they obtained little for their pains. Shortly after the last train from New York passed Larchmont, Police man John J. O'Brien saw men near the post office. As he approached the men started away and were joined by Others. There were six In all. When he could not come up with them, O'Brien opened fire and emptied his revolver. The men replied as they ran, and O'Brien says fully a dozen shots were fire at him. He was not hit, and apparently he hit no one. About 2:30 o'clock William Eastman night watchman in the freight house at Mamaron#ck, heard a knock at the door. Supposing it was a trainman he opened It, and found six men there. Two of them had their revolvers out and were covering him as he opened the door. Eastman drew his revolver, but one of the six fired before he could and the bullet grazed his cheek, breaking the skin for a distance of four inches and searing the tip of his ear. The men threw Eastman down and bound and gagged him. He was then lashed to a piece of furniture aud placed on the floor, face down, with the article on top of him. The men then began work on the safe. A tali, stout man directed their operations. When the charge was inserted the men withdrew from the building, leaving Eastman lying within a few feet of the safe. The explosion tore the safe to pieces and badly wrecked the interior of the building. llow Eastman escaped injury cannot be explained. Debris fell all around him and one piece from the safe made a big dent in the floor close to his head. The men re-entered and rifled the wrecked safe. All they obtained was 850, and the big man cursed one of the others because he had apparently led them to believe there would lie several hundred dollars in the safe. IMnding nothing else worth taking, the men left, with the exception of a negro, who was directed to guard Eastman. The negro remained about Half an hour, and then, after taking Eastman's gold watch and his revol ver followed the others. Eastman eould not move. He was found a cou ple or hours later by Timothy Lynch, the freight agent. A search was at once made for the burglars, but no trace of them was obtained. POLITICAL. The Democratic State Convention, in Ilarrisburg, lias adopted a resolu tion binding the eiegation to the Nat ional Convention by the unit rule to support William J. Bryan for Presi ent. Eight delegates-at-large and four electors-at-iarge were elected, and I*. Gray Meek, of Centre county, was nominated for Auditor General, and Harry E. Grim, of Bucks county, and X. M. Edwards, of Lycoming county, for Congressnian-at-large. Washington politicians do not take seriously Admiral Dowry's announce ment of his candidacy for the Presi dency. The municipal elections in Missouri resulted "on the whole, favorable to the Democrats." Republican gains were made at the municipal elections in Nebraska on Tuesday. Several Democratic strong holds elected Republicans. The great er number of towns voted for license. The result of the municipal elections throughout Wisconsin, outside of Mil waukee, shows that where Republi cans and Democrats placed party tic kets in the field the Republicans gained the greater number of victor ies.

(>.. clings to in i his old age are two ■ says. one writ ten by John D. Hockefeller and tho other by Marcus A. Hanna, when they were his pupils, nearly fifty years ago. Sir. Manna's essay is entitled, "England and the United States," At eighteen he express', d his ideas as fol lows: " 'Tis true that England lias be; n 1 for many years the unrivaled nation of the earth, hut the United States has been like a soa' ing eagle, gradual ly but rapidly mounting on their flight to fame, and now that she has reached an exalted position in the eyes of the world, she gazes with Indifference up on her mighty rival. "In England the land is held by wealthy lords and nobles, who spend their time and money to gratify their own selfish desire.*, while hundreds ; of the poorer classes are strugglind i hard to gain a living and enduring all the privations of poverty can inflict. Not so in a land of liberty. Here ev ery man is free and all enjoy equal , rights and privileges, and every lion est and industrious; man can gain a 1 comfortable livelihood."' Mr. Rockefeller's essay tells of the life of St. Patrick. Characteristic sen- i tcnces in the essay arc: "From a poor shepherd boy ho had become a Bishop, which was in those days a very high otiice. History gives '■ instances of the power of a Bishop ; being equal to ana greater than that j of a King. "St. Patrick was far superior to his | countrymen in knowledge and had a j great sway over their minds. They 1 even thought him to be a saint." ' BUILT ON SAND. Hotel Wollaston, in Boston, to Be i Taken Down. Because it was built on sand, and shifting sand at that, the Hotel Wol laston, one of the handsomest new apartment houses on the Beacon Street Boulevard, must be taken | down. The cost of the structure was $200,000, and it was completed about two years ago. Soon after it was : occupied the walls both inside and out- i side, began to open, and so rapidly did the cracks widen that the attention | of the authorities was called to the j structure, and it was ordered vacated. ' As a consequence, one of the most i handsomely finished apartment hotels in the city—it lies just over the Brook line boundary—has lain idle for a full year, with its vacant rooms growing more and more seamed. Jorge Cruz, a Porto Rican, has been ! brought to this country under a labor contract to test the question ns to whether or not Porto Ricans are citi zens of the United States. Elihu Root, as a lawyer, held that j Michael J. Dady's Havana contract I was valid, and as Secretary of War t rejected it.

RODE IN ICE WAGON \ A Sensible Washlujj;ton Woman r>i< rovers Ilow (o Keep Cool. If you had happened to be near one of tho largest apartment houses in the northwest quarter of the town one hot summer's day, you might have seen a strange sight, for a gayly painted ice wagon lumbered up to the iloor and tho iceman handed out, not a cake of ice, but a real live woman, and a pretty woman at that. Great was tlie astonishment of everybody who saw, but the woman herself wasn't in tho slightest degree embar rassed. She had been hurrying all over the town since morning, making ready to iro away for the summer, and when at last she stepped into a small shop In a side street to attend to tho very lust errand on her list she was be ginning to be dizzy, and her head ached with the terrific heat till sho was on the very verge of collapse, says the Washington Post. The shopkeeper siiss nested calling a carriage, but she was afraid to wait. .Tust at that mo ment an ice wagon drew up to the curb, ami lit:' woman—well, a moment later she was sitting on a borrowed st "d between two blocks of ice in tlia w;" on. She simply had herself deliv (ei at In ;- own door, and sho firmly I'cii. us ili.it if she had waited for a carriage sffcM have succombed to the l.ctt. The ice wagon, sho Bays, and she doesn't forget to add, her own ninn a sense, saved her life. Squirrels Take a Batli. Ojfieci' Lovelace mado a discovery of some interest at Columbus, 0., in reference to the State House squirrels, livery morning, just about daylight, in tlie extremely hot weather, he noticed a troop of six to eight, sometimes more, of these alert little creatures go ing down Sale street toward tho west on a big telegraph cable. The officer was interested, and conclifded to watch them to see where they were going and for what purpose. Eight of the little animals crossed the street from tin- Capitol grounds, ran nimbly up tiie big pole which supports the cable, and in a line about five feet apart, as usual, they started west, the uilk-er following at a safe distance so as not to alarm them. When the ani mals arriwd tit State street bridge they ran down the pole at the east and. chasing one another, down tho river bank, plunged in for a bath. After disporting themselves for about ten minutes in the cool water they re turned to the Capitol in the order In which they hail eonio, as nearly as the officer could judge. I *!;; . "' I Kg-.
