Hakeisbueg, March 19. In the House this morning Mr. Baker, of Delaware, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Wiierkas The General Assembly by sun dry acts has appropriated large sums of money for the maintenance of the soldiers orphans' schools ftoin and inci in: the years 1S75 to 1SS9, and. Whereas, It was only intended that so much cf said appropriations should ho paid over to the managers of said schools as was necessary to defray the expenses of the maintenance, olothmg and educating said soldier's orphans, and. Whereas, It is charged and alleged that tbe proprietors and uanagers of at least a portion of such schools have made great cams and profits out of said schools and drawn from the btate Treasury large sums of money that tbey never expended in the clothing, maintenance and education of said soldiefc' orphans; there fore. Resolved (if the Senate concurs). That a committee be appointed consisting of three members of the Home of Representatives and two members of the benate, to be appointed by the Speaker and President pro tenu. to Investigate the Total Amount Received by each of e same soldiers orphan's schools , from the State treasury, from and including the sears 1S75 to 1SS9 during each jear, and the tj.iil cou-tnittee be and they are hereuy author ized to send for poisons and papers and tbe books and accounts of each of the said schools during said term and report the result of their investigation at a early date as practicable, and in case tbe said committee should find on investigation that any of tbe said school have drawn more money from the btate treasury than v as expended, the) shall further report what ac tion should be taken intbe premises in relation thereto and the expenses necessarily incurred in the m estigation hereby authorized shall be provided tor by an item in the general appro priation bilL The resolution was messaged over to the Senate, and, being read, Senator Robinson said that a similar resolution had been pisedby the House in 1887, but had been pigeon-holed in the Senate. He had voted ou the House lor this resolution and in con sequence of the Senate's failure to act upon it had voted against the appropriation for those schools, his being the only vote cast in opposition. Not to Meet the Same Tate. His action had been greatly misrepre sented and had much to do with his defeat for rcnomtnation. He trusted this resolu tion would not meet the same fate, and that there would he a thorough investigation. The Senate unanimously concurred in the resolution and Lieutenant Governor Watres appointed Senator Grady, of Philadelphia, and Senator Lloyd, of Cumberland, mem bers of the joint committee on the part of tbe Senate. Speaker Thompson has not yet an nounced the House committee. Mr. Baker said to-day that grave charges had been made against the management of the schools, and that there was a demand throughout the State that a thorough inves tigation be made ana the matter probed to the bottom. It was for this purpose the res olution had been introduced. The Saving of tlio New Plan. Captain Skinner, of Fulton, a member of tbe commission which now has charge of the soldiers orphans' schools, m?de public to night figures showing the saving to the State effected since the commission took hold of them. The maximum annual allow ance for each child is $140, but in some schools they had expended but 11!) while the average in all tbe schools was $126 19. On this sum everything n quired had been provided, all requisitionshad been promptly filled, and so far as he tried, there were no complaints as to the quality or quantity of food or clothing. Out of the S150.000 appropriated by the last Legislature lor the two year ending May 31, 1891, tbevhad a surplus of 5140,000. Thev would ask this Legislature to inappro priate this, together with $123,000 more, or (327,000 less than the last Legislature had giien them. Captain Skinner siid there are now 950 children in the schools. Part of the surplus had, of course, been caused bv the decrease in the number of children, but upon those remaining there hud been, as the tires showed, an annual saving of nearly ?14 per child.

GRANGERS' GROW BOLD, AND DECIDE TO TAX EVEH THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. An Attempt to Exempt Philadelphia From the Operation of the Revenue Bill De featedThe Real Fight Will Como lu the Upper House. rmOM A STAFF COUEESPONDEXT.: Haekisburg, March 19. Tax King Taggart aud his cohorts were even more bold aud defiant this morning than yester day, and the way they rubbed it in on the Philadelphia delegation was a sight to see. Not content with the dressing down they gave the city members yesterday, they took tbe back trail and reconsidered the only amendment tbe Fblladeiphians had gotten into the bill. Th s was the one exempting musical instruments from taxation. Many and plaintive were the pleas made for the cabinet organ or melodeon, whose sweet strains cheered tbe poor man's home, but they were all in vain. Ibe strong hearted grangers Insisted that those who "plav must pa" a tax, and would n"t even accept an amendment ex empting inn-leal Instruments to the value of S100. Consideration of tne bill was resumed ou Mr. Fow's amendment to exempt machinery. Mr. Taggart bowed that nnder a decision of tbe Supreme Court machinery had always been taxable under the act of 1814, and asserted that the manufacturers evaded it by claiming that machinery once in use was of little value. Brooks Attacks the Grangers. Mr. Brooks launched a parthian arrow at the bill by sajirg that was tbe same line of ar gument as that of the farmers when they as serted that their horses and stock were of no value to them until they were over 3 years old. He denied that machinery was taxed in Philadelphia, and said that to do so would drive manufacturers from .he city. Mr. Fhck mger said it was taxed in Erie, and yet their manufacturers had petitioned for the bill, and five new manufactories were being built there now. Tbe amendment was defeated. Then Mr. Fow moved to strike out tbe clause taxing goods and merchandise owned orbtld, bought or consigned to be sold at a-profit. He argued that to tax goods consigned from and to this State was against the United States Constitution and the inter-State commerce law, and that three common pleas judges then in Harrisburg .(greed with bun on this point. The House apparently cared no more for com liidn pleas iudnes than it did for Mr. Fow. and sat down on him and his motion. After section 8 bad been dssposed of there was an end to efforts to amend even sections 17. 18 and ID. wblcn relate to the taxation of railroads and are tbe real meat ol the bill, and upon which corporations will make their fight; passed unchallenged. "Wanted the Quaker City Exempted, When the last section had been read the Philadelphia delegation made their final stand, and offered a proviso that tbe bill should not apply to cities of the first class. Upon this they called tbe yeas and nays, but it was tbe rest of the State against Philadelphia, and under it went. Mr. Keyser moved to amend tbe titletoread: "An act to relieve farmers from taxation, and put a premium on perjurj," but it was declared out of order, ana the lull passed second read ing. With tail up and hay on its horns, the country representation had gone careening tbrotich tlio II. .use and scattered the city boys like chaff before it. Tbe bill comes up on buai passage next-Tuesday. It will go through,, and tlren comes, ibe real tug of war, for tbe benate d-als gmgeily with the feelings of cor porations. Mr. Taggart said to-night that the opposition of the Philadelphia, delegation to the provis ions taxing machinery and merchandise in stores was entirely gratuitous, and their con stituents were no opposed to the bilL It had been shown to Postmaster General John Wan amaker, who owned the largest mercantile es tablisbuien. in tbe city, and to Thomas Dolan. Presiden. of the Manufacturers' Club, and neither bad expressed any opposition to these provisions. A SENATE PBESEHTATI0N. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Da vies Pleasantly Remembered by That Body.

He denounced its forcible removal of insane patients from muntj institutions to overcrowded btate hos pitals and asjlums, and scored the board so se verely that "Mr. Barlow was moved to an equally severe attack on the gentleman from Cumberland. J. B. bcott. of Pittsburg, however, responded with such rare calmness and good judgment to Mr. Wherry, that he restored good humor, and turned what promised to be an unpleasant meeting Into a verj profitable conference. He admitted Mr. Wherry was ritrht In many in stances, and where be was wrong attributed to him honesty of purpose. Where the board was wrong it desired to be right.

In the afternoon he went to his room and locked the door after him. A chambermaid had occasion to go to his room at about 6 o'clock. Her kuocking at the door was unanswered, and the maid re ported the fact to the clerk, who, thinking there was something wrong, had tbe door burst open.

Wheeling, March 19. There are about 1,800 Italian laborers employed on the Pitts burg, Cincinnati and Ohio Valley Railway, a new line building from Bellaire, O., to Marietta. These men are most of them em ployed on the upper end of the line between Bellaire and a point 25 miles below. They have been there for about four mouths, and are of the lowest class of their nationality. Since the killing of Hennessey's asassins at New Orleans these Italians bave been uncontrollable. They first got the news on Sunday, when one of their number who reads aud understands English got a news paper. He soon carried the news to them all, and since then they have passed the time talking over the affair and listening to incendiary speeches from the bright ones among their number. To-day an oil man down in that section taking leases found the Italians drilling under tbe leadership of tbeir members wbo have been soldiers in the Italian army. The men are armed with all kinds -of-weapons, fromshotguns .Jo" powfdeT pistols, and .some carry clubs,' while going through the mannal of arms. Stileitosare to be seen on almost every man.

A Big Louisville Banking Firm Is In Finan cial Straits. Louisville, March 19. Theodore Schwartz S Co.. private bankers, bave failed for SoOO.OOQ. Tbeir assignment carried to tbe wall tbe Union Tobacco Works. Schwartz was the resident German consul, and operated a savings bank in connection with his other banking business. Fred Jannsen. a member ot tbe firm, has mys teriously disappeared. Fears are entertained thatbe has committed suicide. No dishonesty is, however, traceable. Who tbe, largest creditors are cannot be de termined now. In the absence ot positive in formation from tbe firm or from the assignee or attorn oy. any intormatlon would be guess work. But it Is understood, at least, that some otbejr Louisville financial Institutions are cansht pretty heavily, and that possibly other failures may be nreclpitated. However, from tbe nature of the business done the looses hero cannot be so heavy as if tne bank ing business done was of the regular order, and some foreign correspondents may lose as much as the local institutions, if at all, in proportion to the amount the defnnc: firm pays on the dollar, if not In full. It is generally supposed that tbe crash is due to tbe lato financial stringency, which, it is evident, is not yet alto gether passed. SOLD UNSTAMPED OLEOMARGARINE.

IT WOULD BE ALL DRINKING And Little Entin?, if All Venders of Provisions Were Granted. MR. CHRIST! LOSES HIS BACKING. One Case in iTnicb tbe Accasinz Witnesses Failed to ippear. A MAX COIIMEXDED BY CH0EC1I PEOPLE If all the grocers who want to break into the saloon business are snccesslul in tbeir present attempt the proportions of eating and drinking in Pittsburg will be somewhat iu favor of the latter. But the judges are slightly inclined to give the people who eat a good show, and the chances are that quite a number of the would-be wet grocers will continue in their old line of business. There have been a number of grocer applicants for licenses every day this week. The Penn avenue district was tackled by the judges yesterday, and they found as gteat a desire to serve the public thirst there as ou Wylie and Fifth avenues. In one block just beyond the Union depot there are eight applicants. Judge White made it a point at the appearance of each applicant to state how many applications had been re ceived for bostelries on that thoroughfare and to discourage all hopes of the man's de sire being satisfied. Tbe Judge also had numerous oppor tunities to show up the past year's whole sale business. In one instance an applicant for a retail license, now a wholesaler, ad mitted that he had sold beer iu buckets and allowed it to be drank on the premises. It is just ai well to do so, however, as pretty accurate evidence of all such cases is in the hands of the Judges. The work moved especially slow yesterday forenoon, and but 24 cases were heard. la the alternooa it was a little more brisk, and the total number of cases for the day reached 68. To-diy73 cisea will be heard, begin ning with the Twelfth ward. There will La no court on Saturday. FORENOON SESSION. Sir.

All tbe witnesses said Jacob runs an orderly house and complained of Gantuer. Witnesses were called by Jacob's attorneys.
