nR Bowca itn Bellefonte, Pa., Dec. 8, 1905. — 39th Congress in Session, Crowds of Spectators Attend the Opening. Can- non Re-elected Speaker. Washington, Dec. 5.—The assem- dling of the members of congress for their first session was marked by no nnusual incident, but it attracted to the capitol crowds of spectators, who took unusual interest in the proceed- ings. Society was out in force and filled the reserved galleries, while vis- itors, unable to find seats, roamed the corridors to catch glimpses of public men. In the senate the proceedings were brief. The house was in session for more than threc hours, and while the pro- ceedings followed the programme that has marked the opening of congress for many years, there was enough of interest to hold an exceptionally large audience during the entire time. Senators Allison and Morgan were appointed by Vice-president Fairbanks as a committee to notify the president that congress was ready to receive any communication he desired to make. The senate was in session only 20 minutes. Senators Aldrich (R. 1), Knox (Penna.), Warner (Mo.) and Frazler (Tenn.) took the oath of office, and an adjournment was taken as a mark of respect to the late Senator Platt, of Connecticut. The preliminary steps to organiza- tion were taken by the house. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, was re-elected speaker; the members of the house took the oath of office; the officers and floor employes of the body were re- elected; the rules of the last congress were adopted and members went through the formality of drawing for seats, all of which was enlivened by the presence of the crowds in the gal- leries, the animation of the reunion of veteran members and the interest of new ones. A committee was appointed to act with the senate committee in notify- ing President Roosevelt that congress was ready to transact business, the rules committee and the committee on mileage were appointed, and the house adjourned. A large number of bills and joint resolutions were introduced in the house. They cover a large variety of subjects, including Philippine tariff, statehood, pensions, regulation of the hours of employment in the executive departments, merchant marine, in- crease of salaries of the vice president and members of the cabinet, requiring corporations to make full reports of their affairs to the commissioner of corporations. increasing the powers of the interstate commerce commission, investigation of campaign funds. of expenditures on the Panama canal. of insurance companies doing an inter- state business, of cotton reports and of the condition of child labor, provi- sion for a six-year term for the presi- dent and the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. Admission of Oklahoma and Inian ; territory as one state was the subject of the first bill introduced in the house. The bill was prepared by Delegate Me- Guire, of Oklahoma, and is almost identical with the point statehood bill of the last session. HIT ROOSEVELT'S TRAIN at North Philadelphia Hurled Plumb-bob. Philadelphia. Dec. 4.—As President Roosevelt's special train was passing through North Philadelphia from Princeton on its way to ‘Washington, some perscn hurled a mason’s plumb- bob through one of the windows of the combination car Salvius. The im- plement was of iron and weighed ahout two and a half pounds. It fell at the feet of Major Webb Hayes, a son of the late President Hayes, who was a passenger oa the train. Fragments of broken glass fell on Major Hayes, but fortunately he was in no wise injured. The car Salvius was the forward car of the train and might easily have been mistaken for the president’s private car. Major Hayes was sitting at the window read- ‘Ing. A profile view of him is not un- like that of the president. No clew to the thrower of the mis- -sile was obtained, although the inci dent was reported to the officials of ‘the Pennsylvania railroad, and the ‘statement was made that it would be ‘investigated thoroughly. The presi- «dent himself knew nothing of the mat- ter until nearly an hour after it oe- curred. Railway officials are inclined to the belief that the plumb-bob was thrown by some boy, as incidents of a similar character have occurred before at about the same point. Miscreant Tried to Burn Herself to Death. New York, Dec. 5.—Several score of women prisoners locked in their cells in the workhouse on Blackwell's Island were thrown into a panic when Lena Hoffman, 28 years old, attempted to burn herself to death by setting fire to her clothing, which she had thrown into a corner of her cell. The Hoffman woman was removed to the. hospital after the prison attendants had sue- ceeded in extinguishing the blaze. She was suffering from severe burns about the head and body. Drowned While Skating. Beloit, Wis., Dec. 5.—Orla Morey, of Rupert, Vt., 26 years old, captain and pitcher of Beloit’s base-ball team, was drowned in Rock river while skating, Miss Fannie Foster, a college senior, Who was with Morey, was rescued un- conscious. ——Suabscribe for the WATCHMAN, PAID FOR FAVORABLE ARTICLES Mutual Reserve Life Company Gave Newspaper Man $6000. New York, Dec. 5.—The most inter- esting development in the legislative life insurance investigation was con- tained in the testimony of Horace H. Brockway, a hotel proprietor and di- rector of the Mutual Reserve Life In- surance Company ,who said that he had given $6000 to President Freder- ick A. Burnham, of that company, at the demand of Mr. Burnham in 1898. Mr. Brockway told the committee that Mr. Burnham told him that if he would take out a policy in the Mutual Re- gerve he would make him a director. Mr. Brockway then took out policies amounting to $6000. After having been a director for some time, he was put on the pay roll of the company at $300 a week, received that salary for four .months, and then it was cut to $200 a week. Asked what he did to earn that money, he said he looked over some loans for the company, was consulted by policy holders as to whether the company was a good one to insure in, and did whatever he was asked to do. He had been getting $300 a week for eight weeks, when Mr. Burnham demanded the $6000. What President Burnham did with that money was explained by George D. Eldredge, vice president and actu- ary of the Mutual Reserve Life Insur- ance Company, who testified that Pres- ident Burnham told him he had given it to Hilary Bell, a newspaper man and publicity agent of the company, to secure the publication of articles favorable to the company at a time when it was being criticized in the newspapers. Mr. Bell said that he could accomplish much more with the money if he were not compelled to re- port to the company just what he ex- pended it for. PERKINS WILL RETIRE To Resign From Vice Presidency of New York Life. New York, Dec. 5—George W. Per- kins, of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., will retire from the vice presidency of the New York Life Insurance Com- pany, and from the chairmanship of its finance committee at the coming election next April. A friend of Mr. Perkins declared that this step has been taken at the suggestion of Mr. Morgan himself, and that the decision would be formally announced very soon. . DOCTOR CHARGED WITH MURDER Said to Have Killed His Wife With Strychnine and Morphine. Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 2—Dr. J. B. Mathews, a well-known physician, was arrested here on a warrant charging him with the murder of his wife, who died after suffering excruciating agony for more than 12 hours. Her death, according to Dr. J. P. Turner, the cor oner, who was called to her bedside, resulted from a dose of strychnine, followed by a potion of morphine, which Coroner Turner alleges was ad- ministered to the woman by her hus- band. Dr. Turner alleges that after suf fering for hours-the dying woman di- rected her 10-year-old son to seek an- other physician, her husband, accord- ing to the coroner’s story, having re: fused to summon another. Dr. Turner was the first to reach the stricken woman’s bedside, diagnosed the case as one of poisoning and at once ad- ministered antidotes, which failed to have the desired effect. As the end approached, Dr. Turner alleges, the husband entered the wife’s bedroom and asked Dr. Turner if he might kneel at the bedside and pray with his wife, requesting Dr. Turner to meantime leave the room, which Dr. Turner refused to do. Dr. Mathews knelt at his wife’s bedside and, clasp ing one of her hands in his, prayed in a voice plainly audible throughout the room. Continuing, Dr. Turner says he discovered his patient was writhing in pain, and approaching the bed, he threw back the coverlets, and charges that he discovered that a hypodermic syringe had been plunged into the woman's leg. He says he seized the syringe and ordered Mathews from the room. Mrs. Mathews died a few moments later. KILLED BY A VICIOUS RAM Aged Woman Attacked and Her Skull Broken by Animal’s Horns. Hagerstown, Md., Dec. 5.—Mrs. Ann Reed, an old woman, died at her home, near Two Locks, from injuries sus- tained in an attack by a ram. Mrs. Reed was crossing a field when the ram knocked her down. When found two hours later her face was covered | with blood, and there were half a do- zen breaks in her skull where the ram had butted her. Locks of her hair were found on the ram’s horns. Mexico's Vice President Ill. Mexico City, Dec. 4.—Vice President Corral, who is ill with typhus fever, is in a grave condition. His physicians hope for the best and rely on his great vitality.
