Young, Port MAtiTdh Taking Care of Their Own, That speaker MARSHALL imagined that his appointment of Members to places on the house committees should be govern.d more by what they had done for himself and Mr. Quay, than for any particular fitness they had for any particular work or position is evident from their makeup. Although the QUAY adherents are in the minority in the House, they are so as- signed on committees that they dominate and control everyone, except that of re- trenchment and reform, to which not a single one of them was appointed. The makeup of this committee, even if done as a joke, as is alleged, is about the only con- “ gistent and excusable effort, at doing the right thing, that Mr. MARSHALL has to , his credit. A QUAY adherent as a re- trencher or reformer would have been about as much out of place, as a barefooted boy would be among the icebergs of the "Polar seas in December. A specimen of the judgment exercised in the make up of the committees—by far the most important part of the organization of the Legislature, is exhibited in the assign- ment of the two Members from this county. Mr. ALLISON, who is one of the most substantial business men of the county and has had the experience gained by one term of service in the House, is placed on the commitiees of forestry, retrenchment and reform and compare bills. It is prob- able that two of these will not have a measure or a particle of business referred to them, while the duties of the third are such that any careful clerk could properly perform them. Mr. THOMPSON, who isa salesman for a grocery firm in Philipsburg and has no more knowledge of the routine work or need of legislation on the subjects that will come before the committees of which he has been made a member, than a mine mule has of the sweets of a pasture lot, is given positions on labor and in- dustry, mines and mining, geological sur- ‘ vey, ivsurance and local judiciary. It is not because of Mr. ALLISON'S unfit- ness for committee places, that he was as- signed to positions that will have nothing ~ to do, and where he can be of no service, whatever, to his constituents, nor is it be- cause of Mr. THoMPsSOXN’s qualfications for the numerous duties that grow out of the places given him that these two Members were treated so vastly different, in. their committee assignments, ete. Ef Mr. ALLISON voted against Mr. QUAY, and for that he must be punished or ig- nored. Mr. THOMPSON voted for Mr. QUAY, and for that must be taken care of, though the public interest suffer in consequence. This is the kind of politics that Mr. QUAY and his party have run for many years and for some reason or other the peo- ple of Pennsylvania seem satisfied with it, even if their taxes do increase and their Legislature earns for itself the reputation of being the most corrupt and worthless body of the kind that disgraces any State in the Union. x od 1s This Another Gold Brick? Under the caption ‘‘Let Harmony and Unity Prevail’! our esteemed contemporary, the Republican, this week throws a bouquet of wilted cabbage leaves at the Gazette and invites the Stalwarts up to have another one of its attractive gold bricks. Last sum- mer the Insurgents tried their best to flim- flam the Stalwarts by placing THOMPSON on the ticket for Legislature and when they ~ were caught at their own game ‘and their intended treachery discovered to the Stal- warts, who were playing fair, they now ‘Russ was the caterer for the Legislature come out and insist that the factions should get together. It says: Quay has been elected to the Senate and the machine, apparently, is in control at the State capital. This, of course, we deplore and would have otherwise, but it is beyond our power to correct the evil and the Repub- lican party in the county, too, is unable to change the conditions, whether they would or not. Why, then, should we resurrect the hatchet buried last fall and resume hostilities that can only result in injury to the party; that would destroy whatever chances there may be for the future success at the polls; that would reopen those old sores the brief period of peace and harmony has healed, and in many instances thrust into forgetfulness? It is all very nice for the Kepublican to talk against tearing open the old sores and the Gazette, that never knows where it is at on any issue, to pray for harmony, but if DAN has a job on, harmony can be hang- ed and both the Republican and Gazette will rub asafoetida on their hooks to catch the Stalwarts, just as they did when DAN thought he was working THOMPSON on them. ‘The Republican acknowledges that it is against the Stalwarts in everything but Centre connty when it says : The Republican is anti-Quay and anti-ma- chine, first, last and all the time, but in local and county affairs itis free from factional sentiment and will do all in its power to as. sist in the election of the Republican ticket. In Centre county we are for the Republican party and, therefore, we hope and wish for the continuance of party harmony and unity. But just how it hopes to reconcile the two positions it thus takes we are at a loss to kuow. It will probably accomplish its end, however, and the handful of political nobodies will be ready to dance the minute DAN pipes. Stone Has Been White=washed. Judge LOVE yesterday morning handed down his decree white-washing Governor SToNE for having cut down the state ap- “ropriation of twé Fears ago to ihe public schools. The finding of the court was not a surprise, since it was generally expected that it would be just as it is. The action was brought here on Jahary 22nd, and made returnable Su the 24th. All of the papers Weis prepared in Harris- hag and there is also a suspicion that the decree ‘¢manated from the same source. I's was a mandamus proceeding entered in this way : “Commonwealth of Pennsylva- nia ex-relationi, JOHN P. ELKIN, Attorney General, for the use of the school district of Patton township, vs JAMES E. BARNET, State Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The action was to compel the State Treas- urer to pay to the defendant township its full share of the appropriation of $11,000,- 000 made for public school purposes for two years by the last Legislature. The appropriation was cut down to $10,000,000 by Governor STONE and the question at once arose as to the constitutionality of his ack, On the 24th Attorney General ELKIN ap- peared here and argued the case for the | Commonwealth, the burden of his talk of’ an hour being that the Governor bad not gone beyond the bounds of his prerogative in cutting down the appropriation, since if he were not to exercise such a watchful care over the action of the Legislature most extravagant and wreckless legislation would be possible and the State bank- rupted. nr Se, W. E. GRAY, who appeaied for Patton township, argued that tnis isan exception- al case and under no circumstances had the Governor a right to interfere. The decree that Judge LovE handed down yesterday morning is about three thousand words long and contains a lengthy review of the case in which the court cites that Governor STONE was not without precedent in his veto of this meas- ure and concludes as follows : “For the foregoing reasons we are of the opinion that the said schoo! district of Pat- ton township, under the law, is not entitled to the money claimed, and, therefore, not entitled to the writ prayed for. The writ of peremptory mandamus is refused aud the petition dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff. By THE COURT | Mr. GRAY expects to carry an appeal to a higher court which will quite probably sustain Judge Love and thus complete the job of white-washing Governor STONE. Want of space makes it impossible to publish the full text of the decree at this time. : A Number of Bills Introduced in Senate and House, Some Are ot Great Importance. Flinn, of Allegheny.

There were two reports, a majority report sigr.S Lv a A ME of Philadelohi.. gy N. Brackenridge, Nat- tonaj and James A. Beaver, of Bellefonte, and the minority report was presented by H. C. Snavely, of Lebanon. The majority report finds that the pres- ent system of providing for the construction of good roads is entirely inadequate and unsatisfactory. Where good roads have been built, the commission finds that the schools have been better patronized during bad weather, farmers bave been enabled to -get products to market with greater ease and that local business men generally have been benefitel. The commission recon mended the retention of the act of June 12, 1893, June 26, 1895 and April 13, 189%, which were enacted for the purpose of im- proving the roads of the State. The com- mission presented with its’ report, three bills, which it recommends should become laws. They are in substance as follows : Appropriating $1,000,000 to the Depart- ment of Agriculture for the purpose of cous structing and maintaining public roads.

Full measure of the law was to-day meted out to Walter McAlister, Andrew J. Campbell and Wil- liam A. Death, convicted of murder in the second degree in connection with the death of Jennie Bosschieter, and to George J. Kerr, who pleaded guilty to assault. Ina most scathing arraignment, in which he told the three young men that the gallows would be their just desert, Judge Jona- than Dixon sentenced McAlister, Death and Campbell to thirty years cach at hard labor in state prison. After the three men with downecast looks heard their doom, Kerr, the grown man and father, stood up and listened to the stern Judge while he said the words that sentenced him to prison for fifteen years. All their bravado disappeared under the scathing words of the Judge, and even Mec- Alister turned ashen pale. Tears came to the eyes of the three men when Judge Dix- on snoke of their families, and there were many tearful eyes in the court room. A DRAMATIC SCENE When Judge Dixon entered the court room, at three minutes after ten o’clock, the grave look npon his face showed bow deeply he appreciated the responsibility that rested upon him. In silence, that was broken only by the occasional sound of an excited whisper, Judge Dixon took his seat on the hench and calmly looked about the crowded room. In a corner of the court, where they were little noticed, were John Bosschieter and his wife, parents of the murdered girl, Mis. Bosschieter was dress- ed in deep mourning, and never once rais- ed her head as sentence was pronounced upon her daughter’s murderers, Seated in front of the bench were Prose- cutor Eugene Emly and the lawyers for the defense, Michael Dunn, former Judge Scott and John W. Harding. ‘*Here they come,’’ hissed a nervous whisper. The tick of a watch would have heen perfectly audible in she court room, BROUGHT IN SHACKLES Ghastly and trembling come the niiset= able quartette forward through the centre aisle. Each of the prisoners was hand: cuffed to a constable. but their sbackles were struck off when they reached theif seats inside the inclesure. There was nv attempt at bravade on the part of any of the prisoners. Their faces were pale and drawn and on them was written a look of despair. SENTENCE IS IMPOSED. McAlister, Campbell and Death were “then told to stand up. McAlister and Camptell looked extremely pale and Death had the appearance of suffering greatly un- der the strain. Judge Dixon, addressing the three pris- oners, said: “You stand convicted of murder in the second degree. Had you been found guilty of murder in the first degree the punish- ment would have been death, but the leni- ency of the jury in the exercise of their lawful authority saved yon from the gal- lows. We must administer laws as they are. It is true these sentences will destroy your lives, obliterating every prospect of an honorable existence among the people. The court cannot make any distinction, but must sentence you for this. crime. I trust the fearful consequence from this crime will help young men and young women of this community and point out to them that they-cannot hope to secaré 'hap-! piuess outside of virtue and: honor. The sentence of the court is that.each of you be imprisoned in the state prison at Trenton at bard labor for a term of thirty years.” George J. Kerr was then called to the bar, and by his attorney entered a plea of non vult contendre to the charge of assault. In entering the plea counsel asked that the court exercise clemency, He spoke of the prisoner's father, said now to be dying’ _as a result, at least in part. of the trouble into which his son had fallen; of his sisters’ -wife and six children, one of the latter only two months old. i Judge Dixon at once proceeded to pass sentence. ‘‘The evidence in this case,”’ he said, ‘‘does not say that yon helped in ad- ministering the drug, but participated in the ravishment of the girl. In one respect your case is worse than the others. You were older and had more obligations for virtne. You had a wife, worthy of the highest affections, and children for your concern, hut you disregarded all and per- mitted yourself to drift away from a proper domestic life, and now you stand here a wreck of vice and crime, and such a crime. No wonder it shocked the community and startled every womanly and manly heart. The pitiless ride, that dastardly outrage, the poor victim laid dead by the roadside, regardless of whether she would. be found by kind friends or by beasts. How gladly would I spare your relatives, but in the ex- ercise of my duty I cannot withold any- thing which the sentence of the law re- quires. The sentence of the court is that .you be imprisoned in the State, Piison at Trenton for a term of fifteen years at hard labor.”’ tod 3g : : . Fan for School Girls. Helped to Demolish Four Sataons at Anthony, Kansas. ANTHONY, Kan., January 30.—Twelve and hammers, today raided and complete- ly ‘demolished four saloons, known as ‘“joints.” Several of the women were ac-: companied by their husbands, who, how- ever, took’ no part in the proceedings and. acted only as a sort of body guard. At one of the places the proprietor at- | tempted to stop the work of destruction, and coming into collision with the husband body guard was felled to the floor by a blow on the head with a beer bottle. After the work of demolition was com- pleted, the crusaders lield a prayer meeting: on the sidewalkand ‘Nearer My God to Thee!’ was sung with great fervor, Mrs. Sheriff, of Danville, a village near- by, was the leader in today’s raid. She came to Anthony last night; quietly or-| = ganized the local temperance women and planned the ornsade. Several members of the band were mere school girls, who, how- ever, took a leading part in the work. Mrs. Sheriff, the leader, previously had destroy- ed the fixtures of a saloon at Danville and .is credited loeally with having given Mrs. ‘Nation her first idea for a wrecking crusade against intemperance.

He had been in bed enly since the preceding Wednesday. Mr. Cleaver was born near Curwensville, Clear. field county, July 6th, 1835, and was 65 years, 6 months and 22 days old. He came to Bellefoute abont twelve years ago and has resided here ever since. Thirty- five years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Port, who survives him with two daughters, Mrs. Edward Hoffman, of Kane, and Miss Anna Cleaver, of Belle- fonte. One brother and two sisters also survive, namely, George Cleaver, Mrs. John C. Holden and Mrs. Lloyd Addleman, all of Clearfield. Mr. Cleaver’s residence in Bellefonte has been long enough and of such an honorable nature to win for him the esteem of the entire community. He was a gentle, un- assuming man whose entire life was devoted to his family and peaceful pursuits. He was a faithful member of the Preshyterian church. The funeral took place Wednesday after- noon at 2 o'clock froni the church. The services were conducted by Dr. William Laurie.

Some time ago, while skating she fell and struck her head. Though little was thought of the injury at the time it developed quite seriously. When she was stricken with the grip just three weeks ago it affected her head and spine at once, causing most ex- cruciating agony and making her death a welcome release from pain that was almost unbearable. x Surviving her are her father and mother and the following ‘brothers and. sisters : Elmer, of Punxsutawney; Alfred, ‘Gust, Mrs. Thos.
