FRIDAY MAY S, 1891.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Special Correspondence of Tim Coia'MMan
Harrishurg, May 6, 1891.
Tt appears to be settled that the
final adjournment of the Legislature
will take place on the 28th of this
month. It matters not, however for
much important legis ation will be left
unconsidered. In all any knowledge
of Legislative work in Harrisburg I
have never known a Legislature so far
behind in its work. Whether it will
be able to catch up within the next
two or three weeks is a matter of
great 'doubt. Too much time was
frittered away in the beginning of the
session, too many adjournments, too
few working days, and the consequence
is that at "the heels of the heat" every
thing is being rushed, and very little
matured or properly considered. Of
all Pennsylvania Legislatures this will
pass into history as the one that has
talked the most and done the least.
!T WAS TOO LATE.
Capt. Skinner of Fulton, did his
best yesterday to recall the General
Road bill from the Senate for the pur
pose of giving it its death blow. It
will be remembered that this measure
passed the House by a bare constitu
tional majority, a fact which inspired
its enemies with the belief that it
would be an easy matter to kill it.
Capt. Skinner's resolution to recall
was objected to by Mr. Keyser, of
Philadelphia, and under tie rules
could not be considered, but Mr.
Keuibles of Wayne, made a motion to
reconsider the vote by which the bill
passed finally. This was followed by
a motion from the friends of the bill to
lay the matter on the table, which was
rejected by a vote of 80 to 78. Then
followed a stormy debate, inthc midst
of which a communication was re
ceived from the Senate stating that
that body had concurred in the House
amendments to the bill, and the
Speaker therefore declared that further
discussion was out of order. The bill
now goes to the governor.
THE BITUMINOUS MINE COMMISSIONS.
Senator Robbins, of Westmoreland,
presented the majority and minority
reports of the Bituminous Mine Com
mission. The minority changes the
date when the law shall go into effect
until January 1. 1892, instead of on
its passage. The majority bill requires
a minimum on supply of 150 cubic
feet of air per minute, and the minority
proposes 100 cubic feet as the mini
mum. It is further alleged in the
minority report that no law in this
country or Europe fixes the air supply
at over 100 cubic feet for bituminous
mines.
A LIVELY SCENE.
There was a lively tilt in the Sen
ate chamber on Monday night be
tween Senator Robinson, of Delaware,
and Senator Rapsher, of Carbon. The
latter offered a resolution that the bill
.providing for a Constitutional Con
vention be made a special order to-day.
To this Robinson took exceptions, and
indulged in some very ugly remarks.
Among other things he said that the
resolution of Senator Rapsher showed
an ignorant violation of the agreement
between Senators on both sides of the
chamber on the subject of the time
for calling up the Constitutional Con
vention bill. To this Senator Rap
sher made a dignified but telling reply,
and among other things said that he
"did not claim to be as smart as the
Senator from Delaware or to hold as
many offices." This brought Robin
son down from his lofty perch, and he
made a humble apology to the Car
bon Senator. Then the usual placid
ity and demeanor of the chamber
were restored, and everything is again
working smoothly.
THE JUDICIAL APPORTIONMENT.
The Judicial Apportionment bill was
considered in the House last night.
All the amendments of the Democrats
were rejected, and the proposition to
give fourteen Judges to Philadelphia
was reduced to twelve. The Republi
cans will not act fairly or decently in
this or the other Apportionment bills,
and the sooner the Democrats get to un
derstand this the better. But they
will not have all their own way, for
just as soon as they pass an unfair or
unjust bill just so soon it will be veto
ed by Governor Pattison.
Columbia.
The Supreme Court has affirmed
the judgments of the Columbia County
court in the cases of Markle vs. Ber
wick Boroutjh, Roaringcreek Water
Company's appeal, and the Main
'wnship school district's appeal.
Hood's Sarsapanlla is on the flood
de of popularity, which position it
as reached by its own ' intrinsic, un
doubted merit.

Delamaters in Bad Odor.
THEIR CREDITORS ARE DISAPPOINTED
AND THREATEN TO JAIL THEM.
Meadville, May 3. The creditors
of Delamater & Co. see no prospect
of securing a return of any portion of
the money deposited with the defunct
bank, and now say they will send the
ex-Senator and Republican candidate
for Governor to jail and keep him
there. John Kelling, a contractor,
who had $200 in the bank, yesterday
made a charge of embezzlement against
George Wallace, George B., Victor
M. and T. A. Delamater. Last even
ing the first three defendants waived a
hearing, and each gave bail in $300
for court. T. A. Delamater is in
Chicago. An attempt is to be made,
by repeated arrests, to exhaust the
bail and finally get the ex-Senator and
the other members of the firm into
jail.
The feeling here against the Dela
maters is very bitter and is due to the
failure of the latter to make good their
fifty per cent proposition. The terms
of the proposition were that it should
be unanimously accepted by May 1.
At a meeting Friday it was shown that
all but $22,000 of the claims had been
signed for. The depositors' committee
assumed the responsibility for this
amount and demanded that Dela
mater & Co. consider the proposition
accepted and fulfill the contract. Ex-
Senator Delamater replied yesterday
that the terms of the proposition had
not been complied with and that the
friends who were to assist him in mak
ing the payment of ten per cent would
not consent to extending the time for
securing the balance of the signatures
of creditors.

A Fire at Scrantoa Whioh Does Much
Damage.
Scranton, May 3. The fire which
broke out here at a late hour Friday
night in the big barn of the People's
Street Railway Company destroyed
thirty-three electric cars with the barn,
burnt out the rear windows of St.
Luke's Church and wrecked the rear
portion of the large Scranton Republi
can building.
Water flooded the Rejmblican press
room and even crumbled away a part
of the wall of the composing room, but
at 4 o clock, after the efforts of the
firemen had won, the editors returned
to their desks and the compositors to
their cases, and the Republican made
its appearance in its usual eight-page
form. The loss to the Republican
may reach $27,000. The Street Rail
way Company's loss probably reaches
$ 200,000, and may exceed that.

Purs Bye Whiskey.
One year ago we had 5000
gallons of Old Rye
Whiskey in Bond, which
was considered a large stock
to carry and sufficient for the
trade. The demand, however.
for our whiskey became such,
that we. were compelled to in
crease the capacity of
our distillery, in order to give
the whiskey some age before
placing it on the market.
We are now making over a
barrel a day ; having a daily
capacity of over 50 gals,
and carrying a stock of 11,000
gals, in Bond. We hope to
give our patrons the benefit of
the age and will sell no whisk
ey under six months, and from
that up to three years.
No second hand barrels are
used at our Distillery; all our
whiskey is bonded in new,
clean, charred, barrels,
and for purity and qual
ity we defy competition.
We have never distill"
ed a bushel of corn, and
we do hereby guarantee ALL
our whiskey to be absolutely
Pure Rye and doubled on
a copper lined still and to any
person who will find any
drugs or corn in our
whiskey as it leaves our Dis
tilllery or Salesroom, we
will forfeit $500.00.
