MOUItED ON QUAT. A Pennsylvania Congressman's Inter view lu a ltentibllean Paper. Washington Dispatch te Philadelphia North American. Senater Quay has mere than ence said semething or ether that gave the impres sion that he favered Delatnater for the Republican nomination for govorner, but until new thore has never beeu any posi tive assurauee that he was usiug his Influ ence in Delamater's interests. The JVbWA vtmcrt'cait was, however, te-day put In possession of undisputed ovideuco that Quay was doing Ids host te souure Dela mater's nomination. A Republican con gressman from Pennsylvania, who for ob vious reasons objects te the publication of his name in connection with his remarks, speke as fellows : "Senater Quay claims te be In a position of armed neutrality. If se his arms are for Dolamater and bis neutrality for Hastings. His true position was betrayed by him a few days age te Congressman Darlington. Darlington and he had a chat en the politi cal situation. The congressman asked Quay If he thought Delamater would be nominated and elected. Senater Quay said: 'Yes, most assuredly. If I thought he would be defeated lu the convention or at the polls I would withdraw him.' "Could better ovidenco be had of Quay's real desires? 'I surely gives an impres-' sien of ownership. Could Quay withdraw a candidate if he had net entered him? A new issue ofthe Republican national com mittee ?10 certificate was rccently ordered, and I have geed authority for saying that the money thus raised Is being used in Delamater's iiitoreMts. Until recently I have been a Quay man, but though 1 am still considered such, I have soured en him. The reasons I de net care te give. If I did, I could becasily indentilled as the origi nator of these remarks. Hofnre Senater Quay went te Flerida I asked him what I could de for him. He replied, 'All I want te say is that delegates are seen te be elected In the counties of your district. If they are instructed in favor of Delamater It would please me. ' " I did as he asked, but If the dolegates wero chosen evor again they would be lu opposition te Deliimaler." " If Delamater wero nominated would you belt his nomination." " Assuredly net. If I did se I would be digging my own political grave. I might if I dared, but I can't afford It. Delamater will be elected, of that I have but little doubt. Others for the same reason that I have will net belt him, and unless there Is organized factional light in the Republican party, u Democrat cannot overcome Penn sylvania's majority or 00,000."

LATEST SOCIAL PAD. Washington LadlPAOrsntitx te Practice Economy In Entertainments. Frem the New Yerk Times. Washington society is coming te its senses. Unless display and lavish ex penditure are te be things) of the past. Twe clubs have been organized, which In every instance limit the expenditure for enter enter Ulnmentsat their various meetings te a specified sum. The first of these, the Breakfast club, Is composed of six mem bers, and, llke the soceud, the Lunch club. Is an organization of seme of the meat fashionable women in society, the majority of whom, should they se dosire, are ante te entertain In the most lavish manner. The rule of the Breakfast club Is that no one meal at which the membersare onteitaluod shall cost mere than V), oxcluslve of flower. At each meeting the hostess of the day has the privilege of inviting one young lady who is the only oulside guest present. By far the most interesting of the two organizations, hewever, is the Lunch club, which numbers nlue mnmbcrs, for which each hostess must exorclse her ingenuity te devise a ceurse luncheon at the outlay of $3. That the thing is net only practicable but that it can be dene with happy result has already beeu proved anumboreftlmos by tbe various hostesses, each of whom vies with her predecessor In devising a menu which shall comblne the quallties of variety, simplicity and plenty. The following, a tnenu served at one of the recent luncheons, will be read with In terest by every woman, whether she be in or out of the social swim : Bouillon I..- - -....I 10 Leaf Vienna bread 6 Chicken (three for) 1 00 Asparagus, Ictture with mayonnaise dress ing.. .- 3-1 Veal cretiucttcvi.calvcs' brain sauce 21 One-quarter peck green peas Cheese stleks - - 12 One quart home-made Ice cream 28 Mint Julep, tlin Ingredients for which (hunch or mint, 2 cnts; pint of whisky, GO cents ; two lemons, 8 cenu) cost & One quart peanuts, served shelled 6 Total .7300 The only extra allowed is cofleo, and the invariable rule Is that each hestess shall have plainly marked en the menu opposite each artlcle the cost price. Should thore be the slightest deviatluu from this rule the hestess is net only lined $1 in each Instance, but what Is far mere te the point, Is ad judged deficient in resources and belew the standard of her neighbers. These lunch eons, It must be remembered, are net mere commenplaco affairs, the cullnaty expres sion of women whose thoughts reflect the Interier workings of the dining-room or pastry cooks' art, but are very dainty and are sorved and presided evor by women of means whose names occur with almost daily frequency in overy list of fashionable entertaliimeuts during the winler. Breker Pell Convicted. Breker Geergo Hamilton Pell, who has been en trial in the court of goneral ses sions, New Yerk, charged with grand lar ceny lu the first dogreo in connection with the bank wrecking incidents, was found guilty en Thursday night aud remauded till Friday for soutence. Mr. Pell had long been In busluess in Wall street. He was for a number of years a member of a firm which had a represen tative In the Stock Exchange. He was familiar with the customs or business which are universally ' recognized as legitimate, but he chese, In cencert with ethers, te re sort te Hellenics which they probably thought would kcep them within the letter or the law, while yielding te them tbe mag nificent returns or large properties secured without value given therefer. Pell and his associates practically conspired te capture three banks, and hoped te de it without incurring the peualties of the law. Asa criminal conception it was magnificent, and they nearly succeeded. Pell was con cen con victed or stealing 31,000 worth of bends from the Lenex Hill bank. This, of ceurse, was only a miner incident lu the big Nchome te capture the Sixth National, the Lenex Hill aud the Equitable banks, but it afforded the best opportunity of conflict ing him. The penalty is at least five years in state's prison, but net mere than ten years. QILMOItE'S CONCEUT. The Famous Hand Appears at the Opera Heuso te n Great Audleuce.

DAN- Anarchists Place Enough Dynamite at the naymarket Monument te Blew Up Sorernt Blocks of Houses. Chicago, May 24. The night of May 4, 1880, the date of the Anarchist riot, was vividly recalled te mind this morning by thodlscevory of umlstakable traces of an attempt te blew up Haymarket menument and surrounding buildings with a glgantte charge of dynamite. A policeman passing near the monument saw at Its base what appeared te be a roll of black cloth. Investigation disclosed, tied up In the cloth, a tin can twolve Inches long and four inches wide filled with dynamite.

Uew the lteceut Decision Will Beneflt Peer and Honest Contractors. Frem the Pittsburg Dliratch. The state supreme court recently decided in two separate cases that a sub-contractor engaged In the erection of a building has no lien against the budding If the contract between the owner and principal contractor provides that the building shall be de livered free or liens. All contracts contain that proviso, but horetoloro it was net sup posed that it affected sub-contractors and material men, who are net parties te the contract and whose lieu is given te tbem by statute as an extraordinary remedy. This interpretation of the law practically wipes out the mechanics' Hen law, whleh has been In operatlon since 1800, aud makes all poeplo who de work en or furnish ma terial ler a new building leek te the prin cipal contractor alene for their inoney. Its effects will be far-reauhlng, and the parties Interested in It have net yet grasped its full meaning. The goneral opinion thus far Is very much in fayer or the de cision as tending te freeze out all dishonest contractors and raising such transactions te a higher levcl. When the bricklayers, plasterers, masons, painters, lumber dealers aud ethors find, however, that they will net have the si Ightest claim against a bu tid ing en which they are working, a different story will be told. Builders and contractors who deal di rectly with the owners will be benefited by the decision, and are very well satisfied with It. A well known builder said the new Interpretation would net only benatlt builders, but It would be fair te owners who have heretofore boeu compelled In somecasos te pay twlce for the same work. "In all the years I have been In buslness," said he, "I have never had te enter a lien against a building. The law has Its geed points, but It hits been greatly abused. A dlshonest contractor could easily keep all the money, skimp his work and refuse te pay the sub-contractors. Liens wero filed against the owner, and rather than have a blur en his tltle he paid for large part of the work a second time. Principal con tractors are new required te onter heavy security, but the new ruling will rolleve them of that. Honest and reliable con tractors will be lme(lttcd by tbe decision, but dlshonest and tricky once will be driven out of business." Among lawyers the decision has been generally occeptcd as geed law. and the opinion 'is generally expressed that there should be no lien law whatever. Aa the new Interpretation puts It the mechanics will suffer lu seme particulars and bebeno bebene bebeno flted In ethers. The same thing ta true of the owners. Under the old ruling a dishonest con tractor could underbid all competitors, de part of tbe work, draw about half the moneyand thou rofuse le pay the men. With the rear or a lien hanging ever his property, Iho ewner was compelled te pay the men, although he had already paid the contractor. Peer and henest builders were the men who would be mostly bencllted by the new ruling. MI19. CLEVELAND'S HOSE TAniFF. Levied en Thursday at the Din Fair In Hehair of Immigrant Otrls.
