I OF QUAY'S TRIUMPH! j; § S> (• •> (• From a Staff Correspondent Philadelphia Inquirer. •) <• HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 22 —Governor William A. Stone sat in his •) 52 library this evening and chatted entertainingly with The Philadelphia •> <• Inquirer correspondent on the political situation. He seems entirely (• Hatislied that Senator Quay will be re-elected. When asked for a public •) 12 expression of his views on the Senatorial canvass he gave the following (• signed statement: •> <• "My opinion has not changed since I expressed the belief, after the #) }2 action of the caucus making Colonel Quay the nominee of the Republican •) (• party for United States Senator, that he would be re-elected. His sup- •> (• porters have not had a break in their lines since that time, arid they have £ made gains. Pennsylvania is a Republican State, and unless there are •> (• some serious reasons why a regularly nominated candidate of the Repub- •> <8 lican party in the State should not be elected, it is usually safe to predict j* that he will win More than two-thirds of the Republican members of •) (• the General Assembly are already publically committed to him. No one •> can honestly or fairly question the regularity oftlie nomination ofSenator * Quay. The caucus was regularly called and properly conducted. Stal- », <• wart Republicans generally throughout the Commonwealth have accepted •> <• him as the candidate of their party and want to see him elected." g 12 "The conspiracy case brought against him in the heat of the campaign •> (• has been fully ventilated, and the political character of the proceedings is •> •• fully understood by the people. The argument of Attorney Watson be- J fore the Supreme Court clearly demonstrated that there was nothing in •• (• the bills of indictment against Senator Quay, nor in the testimony, show- •> '• ing him to have violated any law. This lias been made plain to all,as has JJ !* the fact that this prosecution was inspired and instituted for the purpose •> (• of influencing votes against Senator Quay in his Senatorial canvass. It is •> <• not my purpose or intention to quarrel with any one who is opposed to [J Senator Quay. That is his right and privilege. Hut I do say that I be #) (• lieve that way down in the hearts of the nearly half a million Republicans •> (• 0 f Pennsylvania who voted for me for Governor at the last election, there Jj )• i s a feeling of sympathy for Senator Quay in the present contest. He lias <• been a brave soldier in' the hour of his country's trials, he has been a gal- •) '• lant, able and victorious field marshal of the Republican party, not only 12 in local and State campaigns, hut in one of the greatest and most bitterly •> 12 fought national contests ever waged in American politics—to him more •: (• than to any one else, as Chairman of the Republican National Committee 2j J2 did we owe the election of General Benjamin Harrison to the Presi- a , dency" "As a member of the United States Senate he has watchfully and (• zealously guarded the great industrial, manufacturing and commercial " interests of our Commonwealth. His influence was potential, not only in •) 12 materially aiding the passage ol the .MeKinley hill. 1 1, wit li the I >eino- J (• crats in control of Congress, through his close relatiiy« with his colleagues #) <• on both sides of the House, and his statesmanlike yourse on the floor of •) 12 the Senate, he saved Pennsylvania's industries 112. in ruin by the amend- g (• ments he had inserted in the Wilson bill for their especial protection." "There should be no occasion for concern among the friends of Sena- •) ,'2 tor Quay on account of the present deadlock on the Senatorship. Public J-J (• sentiment in his favor is making itself felt among the members of the ° Legislature. If Senator Quay's supporters stand firm, as lam convinced •) 12 they will, his re-election will certainly follow indue time. 8> ( . (Signed) WILLIAM A. STONE." (• There is no doubt that Governor Stone would do anything in his •; 12 power to assist Colonel Quay in his canvass. G. J.

DEAR EDITOR: —Train No. 3, on Otter Creek Boom it Lumber Co'.s road was wrecked on last Saturday. The wreck was caused by a stringer in the road bed settling and spreading the rails, throwing the engine over a high embankment into the river. Pay master Walter Stevison and Mr. Kaler, the fireman, succeeded in jumping, but H. H. Sayre, the engineer, had no time to escape as the others were be fore him. The engine is a complete wreck, having turned over twice. Mr. Sayre went with it, but only sus tained a few bruises, some of his teeth being knocked loose and his lip cut. It was only by a miracle he escaped. "BrcKi.K." Five From Austin. ('. 11 Pelt, of Emporium, was trans acting business in Austin on Tuesday. ... Mrs. J.M.

Williams, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, died suddenly of heart disease yester- j day morning, in his appartments at ] the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia. I He had been under the care of his phy- ! sician, Dr. John V. Shoemaker, since ! November, and had been confined to ] his room since Saturday last. Justice Williams did not rest easily during the night, and early in the j morning lie arose and sat in an easy j chair by his desk. Suddenly he show- ; ed signs of weakness, and died within j a few minutes of 6 o'clock. Mrs. Wil- j liams was with him at the end, and his ! daughter, Miss Virginia Williams, was j on the floor below, summoning Justice McCollum. The latter on reaching his j friend's room, found Justice Williams | dead, his head resting on his desk and his arms hanging down. Dr. Shoe- i maker was sent for, but it was too late. On Saturday morning interment will be made at Wellsboro, where Justice Williams resided. AN HONORABLE CAREER. Associate Justice Henry W. Wil liams, of the Supreme Court, was born in Hartford, Susquehanna county, Pa , July HO, 1830. He received his early education at the village school in Hart ford and the Franklin Academy. He studied law in Wellsboro, Tioga coun ty, and in 1854 was admitted to the bar. The following year he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the State. He continued in active practice at Wellsboro until March 1865, when he was appointed by Governor Curtin ad ditional law judge of the Fourth judi cial district, then consisting of Tioga, Potter, McKean and Cameron coun ties. At that time he was the youngest judge in the State. In No vember, 1865, he was elected additional law judge for the full term of ten years, and in 1871 was elected president judge of the district. In 1874 Judge Williams was appoint ed by Governor Hartranffc a member of a board of seven commissioners to suggest ammendments to the Consti tution. As early as 1872 he was press ed forward as a candidate for the Su preme Court, and a year or two later was opposed as a nominee by Judge Williams, of Allegany, who secured »he place The subject of this sketch served for over twenty-two years as a judge in the Fourth district, and in June 1887, was nominated by the Republican State Convention for the Supreme bench. The death of Chief Justice Mercur occurring about that time, Judge Williams was appointed by Gov ernor Beaver to till the vacancy. The following November he was elected, and on January 1, 1888 was commis sioned for the full term of twenty-one years. Justice Williams was prominent in the Masonic fraternity and was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsyl vania. Many of our citizens will be pained to hear of the death of Judge Williams, who so acceptably served as President Judge of this district, when Cameron formed part of the Judicial district, composed of the counties of Tioga, Potter, McKean and Cameron. He was an able, conscientious and upright jurist and Pennsylvania loses one of its most brilliant men. Judge Wil liams attended the inauguration of! Gov. Stone and administered the j oath of ollice. MEKTINC OF THE CAMERON COI'NTY ISAK j ASSOCIATION. The members of the bar of Cameron j county met at the ollice of Green & Shaffer this Thursday)' morning, lhe ! following members being present: !

Williams, who, for many years was ' President Judge of the Fourth Judicial | District, of which the county of Cam i eron formed a part, the members of I the Bar of this county realize that they | have sustained a personal loss of one ! of the best and most able jurists that 1 have presided over the several Courts j of this Commonwealth. And, as a mark ! of esteem, a copy of these resolutions j be presented to the Court at its next j session to be entered upon the records ! of the same, and a copy thereof to be < transmitted to the family to whom we I hereby tender our sympathy and join with them in their sorrow, and that a committee of the Bar be appointed to attend the funeral.

The time had passed so rapidly that many, looking at the clock, exclaimed to find it almost 10:00 o'clock.—St. Paul Globe. The Coudersport Journal talks right to the point upon a subject that fittingly applies to Cameron county as well as Potter. It says: "Some munipal officers consider it a great vic tory when they succeed in forcing the local papers to bid the official printing down to starvation prices. It does not occur to the penny-wise officials that the best friends a man has is its news j papers and the more prosperous the ] newspapers the more it can donate to | every public enterprise, and to every j beneficial institution. The same rule | applies in a more general way to a county. If publishers of local news j papers were enjoying inordinate in j comes and grabbing for exorbitant j profits only, it were well to organize ! against, but such is not the case, at I least in this county, and parsimonious treatment of the local papers is not in I the interest of the town nor county." Mr. King is a young looking man j with a smooth shaven face and power of facial expression possessed by few j first-class actors. He took the rostrum | amid deafening rounds of applause, ! and should a Brown City audience ever have to listen to lnm again, we are suro ha would be greeted in an equally enthusiastic manner. From the beginning to the end he held the ! best attention of his audience, first | would have them in roar of laughter,— I "When the Frost is on the Pumpkin. ! and the Fodder's in the Shock," would I bring a smile to the face of a condemn led criminal—then his portrayal of ! death would bring tears; bis face grew I thin and ashy hued, and every feature j quivered as if he were dying a real j death.—The Standard, Brown City, Mich.
