Without the aid of Sullivan county the votes of the Keystone State has rebuked party wreckers. Fusion Candidates make sorry show. In the next Legislature the Beaver Statesman will have enough votes to insure his return to the United States Senate by it handsome major ity. The Evening Telegraph, owened by John Wananiaker's son-in-law and consideaed the local afternoon organ of the anti-Quay contingent, says in big head line's Wednesday afternoon: "Quay claims the legisla ture and the returns this morning seem to bear out the contention of the ex-senator's friends." Anti-Quay papers of Philadelphia Thursday morning admit that they have lost the light, they give Sena tor Quay 112 votes on joint ballot. It takes llis votes to elect and on these ligures his majority woulil be 11. This is a net gain of 1i» votes. QI'AY will be our next Senator. McKINLEY S lllli MAJORITY. Estimates from every county in Pennsylvania give McKinley 2W:i'sH;l plurality over Bryan, 1,112 less than j the plurality In IHM.

ANCIENT LIBRARY FOUND. Hrcvrdi l)lipuvrr«il Sni>po»e«l to Hi- Nine Thousand Yearn Old. NEW YORK, Nov. *. —Professor Her man N. liilprecht. who has been digging up the ruins of Nineveh for the Universi ty of Pennsylvania, arrived on the Krled rieh der (Jrosse yesterday. ll* said that as tiie result of his dis coveries and translations of inscriptions ou vases, tablets aud utensils Bible his tory is shown to be quite recent. Tin tablets are histories of times before Ad am and Kve are supposed to have lived in the Garden of Eden. "We have found the first Babylonian temple library ever discovered," said he. "It was uncovered at Nippur. Some of the documents go back as far before Abraham as Abraham is before our time. "Not a document discovered is less than U.'JOO years before the Christian era. That is about the period at which Nippur's civilization was nipped in the blossom by the Elamitcs. and Babylon succeeded Nippur as the capital of Baby lonia. Some of the documents are sup |)osed to be at least 0,000 years old. "Nearly 18.000 documents were rescued this year. "The documents are clay tablets from two inches by one inch to a foot and a half iu length by one foot in width. They cover every braueh of literature known to the early Semitic peoples. There are lists of words written in both the Suuie rian aud Babylonian languages, exercises iu grammar, dates, hymns, proverbs, as tronomical works, astrological texts, in ventories of the temple, lists of gods aud cash books giving the income of the tem ple from all sources. They will increase our vocabulary of the two most aucient tongues. "Nippur was built ou successive plat forms, generations constructing a plat form upon the ruins of previous geuera tions. "The Nippur library was lost about the time Abraham went out of Ur. Many Hebrew customs fiud here their first ex planation. One old historical character who, critics had decided, was a myth is found to have been a real character. "Most of the Jewish exile* transported b> Nebuchadnezzar after the destruc tion of Jerusalem were located at Nip pur and along the cauala uear there." The records from the Nippur library are on their way from Bassora to Phila delphia. Hnntlnar Fatalities.
