awanna representation from the appro
priations, corporations and railroads

which causes merriment among the
Scranton members Is the presence of
two Luzerne members on the vice and
Immorality committee, which hns no
Lackawanna representative. The ap
pointment of Representative O'Malloy
to the judiciary general committee Is
regarded by his friends as a high com
pliment, Inasmuch as only the best

committee, assignments to which are
much sought after.

cept to receive bills. Among the more
Important house bills introduced were
these by:

TARRED AND FEATHERED.
Religions Differences Give Rise to a Dis
graceful Affair in Indiana.
By the United Press.
Evansvllle, Ind., Jan. 9. Word has
been received that Connellton, in Perry
county. Is disturbed over a whltecap
plng that occurred there last Sunday
night. The trouble grew out of the
attentions of a. farmer named Talgolp
to Maggie O'Neill, the daughter of a
farmer living near Taigolp's farm.
' Talgolp is a Protestant and O'Neill a
Catholic, and the difference In religion
was a decided objection to the union In
the eyes of O'Neill. He objected to iie
young folks keeping company and or
dered Talgolp to stay away from his
farm, but the latter failed to heed the
warning.
Last evening he called on Maggie,
and returned home about 11 o'clock.
About 11.30 Talgolp was awakened by
a knocking at the door and he got up
to let in his hired man, who was out.
It was not the hired man, but four
masked men that greeted the vision of
Talgolp. They took Jilm from the house,
tarred and feathered him and whipped
him unmercifully, then left him go
back to the house as best he could. The
prosecuting attorney Is making an In
vestigation and If the culprits are dis
covered they will be prosecuted.

Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 9. The State
Lumber Dealers' association met In this
city yesterday at the board of trade
rooms and decided to appoint a com
mittee to co-operate with a Philadel

Insurance association for the benefit of
lumbermen. The claim was made that
the premiums charged by the present
companies are exorbitant. A bill was
drafted to be presented to the legisla

for construction has no redress through
a lien. The semi-annual meeting will

BOIES PENROSE TURNED DOWN
Enthusiasm of His Followers Failed to
Hypnotize tho Convention-Attorney
Graham Creates an Uproar Pen
rose Delegates Object.
By the United Press.
Philadelphia, Jan. 9. City Solicitor
Charles F. Warwick was this morning
nominated for mayor of Philadelphia
by the Republican mayoralty conven
tion which met in Musical Fund hall.
The delegates were unusually uproar
ious, and the followers of State Senator
Boies Penrose, who. at almost the last
moment was given the go-by by the
party leaders, stuck to him to the end.
So pronounced were the Penrose people,
who comprised about one-third of the
delegates, , that they refused to make
the nomination of Mr. Warwick unani
mous. Tho vote was: Warwick, 6S4;
Penrose, 233; ex-City Treasurer George
D. MeCreary, 1.
The convention was called to order at
10.15 o'clock by David H. Lane, and ex
Recorder of Deeds George O. Plerle was
chosen as temporary chairman. Mr.
Plerle, who was the choice of David
Martin, one of the leaders, was after
ward made permanent chairman, and
the placing of candidates in nomina
tion was begun. When Congressman
Henry M. Bingham mounted the stage
to nominate Senator Penrose the
minority delegates Bet up a cheer,
which was vociferous In the extreme.
Chairman Plerle vainly endeavored to
maintain order, but Congressman Bing
ham proceeded. He scored the "com
bine" for "cowardly knifing a man In
the dark;" lauded Mr. Penrose's traits
and defended him against the "calum
nies that had been heaped upon him."
The Penrose delegates approved the
sentiments of Congressman Bingham
when he had concluded, in no uncertain
tones, und when District Attorney
George S. Gralham began an address on
behalf of Mr. Warwick, the oheers gave
way to hisses.
Hisses and Applause.
Until this time the majority delegates
practically remained siltmt, but the
presence of Mr. Graham caused them
to let out a cheer which drowned the
maniftatlons of disapproval. The dis
trict attorney grew red In the face
when the hissing began, and when one
of the Penrose element cynically yelled:
"Are you a Republican?" Mr. Graham
directed his remarks to that Individual
and Informed him that he was certainly
of that political faith. The district at
torney faced the questioner, and, as
diplomatically as he could, took him to
task. This procedure suited the War
wick people, for they cheered until they
were tired. This waa kept up until
after Mr. Graham had llnlshed, and
was renewed when Councilman
Hawkes seconded the nomination.
One hour after the beginning of the
convention Leader Martin moved that
the nominations close, and this was
done. The delegates from the thirty
seven wards ithen cast their votes,
the complimentary ballot for Mr, Me
Creary coming from the Twenty-eighth
wurd. When the majority for Mr.
Warwick was announced a Warwick
delegate suggested that the nomination
bo made unanimous, but a Penrose
delegate cried "No," and In this divided
manner, the convention, at 11.35, ad
journed. While the a.icgates were unusually
uproarious and were intensely bitter
In a factional sense, no trouble re
sulted. In addition to the mayoralty conven
tion twelve Republican candidates for
police magistrates were nominated by a
convention held In Industrial hall, and
Republican counellmanlc nominees
were chosen In each of the thirty-seven
wards.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 9. State Treasurer
Taylor, who should have turned over
his cash to his successor yesterday,

Redfield National bank, has closed its
doors. The hist heard of Taylor he iwas
In New York. On Saturday he should
have had $:I50,000 and should have paid

His bonds are $350,000, but will stand
50 per cent, shrinkage. If the defalca'
tlon Is as large as the bondsmen be
lleve, it will place the state In a very
embarrassing position. The limit of
Indebtedness has been passed. No

there Is a considerable deficiency In the
revenue. Without this It would have
been a difficult problem to muke both
ends meet, now It Is Impossible.

afternoon. Newell claims that Me
Pherson has been criminally Intimate
with his wife. McPherson has been
corresponding with Mrs. Newell for
the past two years. He formerly re
sided at Central City and was be
friended il;rf Newell, -who is a .wiell
known politician. The latter managed
to get hold of several letters and dis
covered the intimacy that existed be
tween the two.
Newell left Denver on Saturday night
with the dntentlon of coming 2,200 miles
to give MoPherson a severe beating.
In this ho succeeded. On arriving In
Philadelphia he registered at the
Colonnade hotel under an assumed
name and had his moustache dyed. He
procured a wig to further) disguise
himself and arrived in NorrlBtown this
afternoon at 2.30 o'clock ind proceeded

McPherson did not recognize Newell
on account of the dlseulse and wn
taken by surprise. He was knocked
down by a blow on the forehead with
the knuckles and was badly used up.
Had it not been for Superintendent
John 11. Passmore,
or the Traction
company, and J. B. Larzelere, who
were In the building and went to his
assistance, McPherson would probably
have been killed.
During the scuffle Newell lost his wig
and his Identity was revealed. As soon
as he could get away McPherson left
his office and could not be found.
Newell was taken into custody, but
was not locked up. McPherson did not
appear against him nnd he was dis
charged. He is 40 years old and Mc
Pherson Is of about the same age.
Newell showed several letters to the
chief of police, which had been written
by McPherson to his wife, which showed
that their relations; had been of a
criminal nature. He left here for Phil
adelphia to take the 8.50 train for Pitts
burg, where his wife is now visiting
relatives. She was unaware of his visit
here.

for Their Release.
By the United Press.
Pottsvllle, Ta., Jan. 9. A heavy fall
of coal In Richardson colliery at Glen
Carbon last evening imprisoned two
miners, Charles Dletzel and Adam
Burk, in one of the breasts. About
twenty-live men worked vigorously all
night and removed about 1,000 tons of
coal, but the unfortunate men have not
yet been reached. This morning the
rescuers were relieved by a fresh relay
of workers. The voice of one of the
Imprisoned men could be heard at times
during the night. It is believed one of
the men is crushed beneath the mass
of coal and Is dead. The survivor, It
was believed this morning, Is Dletzel,
although his voice was not discernable.
Fears are entertained that unless the
surviving man is reached soon that
blackdamp may accumulate and he will
be asphyxiated. This knowledge incites
the rescuers to work with much zeal,
The prosecution of the work of rescue
is attended with much risk to the safety
of the heroic rescuers, as well as to the
Imprisoned men.

I. QUAY ON CORPORATIONS

The Senator from Pennsylvania Believes
Thut Scrvuntsof Corporations Should
Wear the Dollar Murk Upon
Tbclr Foreheads,
By the United Press.
Washington, Jan. 9. In connection
with the report of the urgent dellctency
bill In the senate today an inquiry was
made by Mr. Quay whether the bill
contained ainy provision providing for
the publication of the names amd sala
ries of corporation employes in connec
tion with the income tax. He was in
formed by Mr. Cockrell that there was
no change or amendment to that effect
recommended by the committee on ap
propriations. "Would it not be well," paid Mr.
Quay, "to compel a publication of the
mimes and salaries of corporation em
ployes In the reports made under the
ncome tax? A gentleman who Is very
high in political position In the city
of Philadelphia (a Republican (national

why he could not preserve plighted
faith in regard to an important nomi
nation there, that he was under a
heavy alary from a great corporation,
and was compelled to do what that
corporation wished, and not what toe
himself desired and felt he ought to do.
