Sir. Starkcy's Measure Re-Introduced.
The Widow of tho Well-Known Sculp
tor Desires an Appropriation to
Complete Strength and llcuuty.
Special to the Sorunton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, Pa., Feb. 3. The foes of
Senator Cameron see In 'Mie break be
tween Senator Quay and David Martin
a chance to prevent Cameron's return
to the United States senate in 1897.
They have been quick to take advan
tage of 'this and have made overtures to
Martin to join 'them. In return for his
support they have promised to support
the Phlladelphlan In his efforts to re
tain the political prestige of whldh his
opponents seek to rob him. The anti
Cameron leaders believe their compact
with Martin will be mutually helpful to
Imth parties.
The desire of the opposition to Sena
tor Cameron to make good thvlr part
of the bargain is shown by the support
which Senators Baker, of Delaware,
and Kauffman, of Lancaster, pro
nounced opponents of the United States
senator, gave Martin In opioslng by
voice and vote Senator Porter's bill to
decrease the number of councllmen In
Philadelphia. Martin was as much in
terested in the success of this measure
as was Senator Porter, and Its disas
trous defeat was as almost as great a
rebuke to him as the gentleman who
Introduced it.
They Want a Phlladelphlan.
The opponents of Senator Cameron
have decided to select Charles Emory
Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, Dis
trict Attorney Oraiiam, or some other
distinguished Phlladelphlan of promi
nence and ability as their candidate for
the United States senate and with the
assistance of Martin and Porter they
hope to secure the biggest end of the
Philadelphia delegation in the next leg
islature. An aggressive fight will be
made against Cameron, especially In
Lancaster county, under the lead of
Senator Kauffman, who was nominated
for the se-nate by the Republicans of
ttiat county last summer on the anti
Cameron Issue. In every legislative dis
trict in the state the anti-Cameronites
will put up candidates.
Senator Porter breathes easier; Sena
tor Penrose, and other of his political
enemies in the senate, have concluded
to let up on him. Many of them are
opposed, however, to bill abolishing
sectional school boards in Philadelphia
and creating a department of educa
tion; not on political grounds, but be
cause they believe the majority of the
people of the Quaker City are satisfied
wltih the present system. Senator
Penrose and his friends will hereafter
consider Senator Porter's bills on their
merit and if they can. convinced
there is a popular seniln. at for them
they will vote for them. Penrose and
his followers are in control of both
branches of the legislature and can
defeat any bill which Senator Porter
or ihls adherents advocate.
Chief Clerk Fetterolf, of tho house
of representatives, has appointed John
I. Glisson, of Eridgport, custodian of
the 'house supply room. This Is an
other of the new places created by the
present legislature for which there is
no regular appropriation. Mr. Glisson
Is paid out of the contingent fund.
Anti-Pullman Legislation.
A bill aimed at the Pullman sleeping
car monoply will be read the first time
In the house tomorrow evening. It wan
Introduced by Representative Bliss, of
Delaware, and fixes the rate of fare at
2 cents a mile for 100 miles, and a third
of a cent for every additional mile. It
prohibits the lowering of an upper
berth unless sold makes It unlawful to
sell Intoxicating liquors on board the
cars, and prohibits the steward, con
ductor or porter from receiving tips.
A bill Introduced In the senate by Mr.
Coyle, of Schuylkill, requires that a
license of $100 must be paid for each
buffet or dining car handled through
the state on which intoxicating liquors
are sold. The license must be posted
In a prominent place In the car. The
penalty is $300. or sixty days In jail,
or both.
The present legislature Is far In ad
vance of that of two years ago In Its
work. From this It would seem to Indi
cate that the session will be a short
one. The first bill to reach the gover
nor two years ago was on March This
session the first bill was received by
Governor Hastings on Jan. 30, and was
approved the same day. It was a
measure allowing the city councils of
Pittsburg to compromise with the hold
era of certain railroad bonds. The gov
ernor received two bills last week, and
before the close of the current week ho
will have received nine or ten more.
There have already been introduced In
the present session over 1,000 bills, one
half of which have been disposed of
by committee.
iMartin Has a Candidate.
David Martin and his friends are
quietly urging the appointment by
governor Hastings of William M
Geary, a member of common council
from the Nineteenth ward, as recorder
of deeds for the unexpired term of the
late Recorder Green. Geary was form
erly president of the anti-Condon club,
one of the strongest political organlza
tlons In Philadelphia, and is a loyal
supporter of Martin. The governor
will wait until after the mayoralty
campaign before he takes up the ques
tlon of the eligibility of Recorder Cur.
ley, who was appointed by Governor
Pattlson to serve out the unexpired
term of the late recorder. V
Chairman Robinson, of the Luzerne
county Republican committee, was at
the state capital last week In confer
ence with Governor Hastings and mem
vbert of the cabinet seeking recognl
tlon for the party workers In the county
In the way of appointments. The legis
lative delegation from Luzerne Is dl
Vlded on a number of aspirants for
place, but the chairman expects to In
duce the senators and representatives
to get together and agree on an aunll
cant In order that the county shall not
, lose the appointment which, he has
been assurred by the appointing power,
united action will bring.

The Celebrated Female Railroader Em
barks on Matrimonial Seas.
By the United Press.
Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 8. Annie P.
Grandther, better known in railroad
circles as "Switch Annie," Is a bride.
She was married on Jan. 25 to Charles
F. Green, a yard foreman In the employ
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul. .
'Switch Annie" is one of the most
unique characters in the west. . For
years she enjoyed the reputation of
being the only . regularly employed
woman switch tender in the country.
She was in the service of the St. Paul
road for about fifteen years and had
charge of a set of the most compli
cated switches on the system, but never
had an accident happen near her post
of duty.
She became a switch thrower by fate,
succeeding to the position of her father,
who was killed near the switches she
tended. TVhen a child she assisted her
father-at his work, and being left with
out means of support by his death, she
applied to the St. Paul company for
work and was placed in charge of the
switches. She is now about 32 years of
age.
HILL OF, THE CU1C0RA.
Tugs and Relief Trains Are on the Look
out for Survivors of the Ill-Fated Ship.
By the United Press.
Chicago, Feb. 3. At 10 o'clock this
morning an object 10 feet high and 250
feet long, resembling the hull of the Ill
fated Chlcora, was discovered off South
Chicago lying between two large ice
floes. The hull was floating south, and
the life saving crew were dispatched to
follow It along the Indiana shore. Tugs
were also sent from Chicago. At 5.30 p.
m. Agent Van Sickle, of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, at Whiting, Ind.,
saw the hull float by two miles from
shore. Besides the hull was a raft on
which fifteen or twenty men could be
seen.
It is believed that the reason why the
boats have not returned or reported Is
that they are at work and have suc
ceeded In getting a tug boat started
through the ice.
The relief train sent out over the
Baltimore and Ohio returned to South
Chicago. They 'located the wreck about
two miles off Wihltlng, Ind., where It
has been stationary since 4 p. m. Owing
to the darkness It 'Is Impossible to make
any attempt to reach the wreck from
shore, but two boats which had gone
from Chicago, probably the Calumet
and steamer Ludlngton, were fighting
their way through, the 4ce from the out
side toward the wreck. If they suc
ceed In reaching It tonight and rescuing
any survivors, they will probably re
turn to Chicago, as all other harbors
are closed with ice.
Chicago, Feb. 4. The tugs have re
turned without finding the Chlcora.
Benton Harbor, Mich., Feb. 3. When
the report that the hull of the Chlcora
had been discovered off South Chicago
reached here there was much excite
ment. Men ran through the streets to
make known the glad tidings and hun
dreds soon gathered around .the 'Gra
ham & Morton company's office and
every place where the Information
could be obtained regarding the vessel.
Meetings that were being held through
out the cities were soon closed for want
of congregations, and the streets were
crowded with people. A special train
was at once arranged for by the Gra
ham & Morton company to go to Whit
ing, but the order was countermanded
upon receipt of the news that the tugs
had found nothing of the Chlcora's
hull.

anxious to have the strikers at the city
hall, but ihe desired to have all of the
other laboring men in Brooklyn there.
"We will surely have 20,000 men there,"
he said, "without our own 6,000. I
would f ather see our own men stay at
home. From the reports that I have
received this morning, every man, wo

go to the city hall and stand In the
plaza for one hour or a dozen hours if
necessary."

railroad companies were reported to
day. Commissioner Welles when asked
about the demonstration which the
labor men Intended to have in front of
the city hall said: "All I know about
it Is I saw It In the papers. Nobody has
yet approached me in regard to it, and
furthermore, no one has asked for a
permit to allow the men to assemble In
the city hall park." He said that he
would have a sufficient number of
policemen on hand to see that no vio
lence of any kind occurred.
Many Accident Dally
The same number of cars were run
today that have been running for the
past few days. Collisions and email
accidents were reported from various
parts of the city, but nothing serious
resulted. The companies claim they

men this afternoon. He was dragged

two shots at his assailants. The bullets

furthermore said that he did not think
It was true. "There Is no need of X,"
said the mayor. "The cars are now
running all right and from all accounts
today and yesterday were two of tho
quietest days we have had since the
strike first began."
Mr. Schleren closed his Interview by
saying that for the past few days two
men of the city of Brooklyn have been
doing more talking than was good for
them. Th two men, he Bald, were
Benjamin Norton, of the Atlantlo Ave
n ue Railroad company, and Master
Workman Connelly. "The sooner they

added, "the better It will be for them."
Mr. Schleren declared that he ex
pected to be present at the city hall to

Master Workmnn Connelly tonight

"We notice a statement made today by

MANIAC AND HIS AXE.
Ulrum Jones Endeavors to Kill Daniel
Goff.
By the United Press.
MillviUe, N. J., Feb. 3. Hiram Jones,
who is a well-known resident of this
city, suddenly developed homicidal
madness last) night and made a savage
attack with an axe upon Daniel Goff,
a well-to-do brick manufacturer, who
lived with Jones in his handsome resi
dence on Broad street.
Goff and his wife were sitting quiet
ly reading when Jones stole into the
room, and, without any warning, struck
Mr. Goff on the head with the axe, fell
ing 'htm to the floor. Before Mrs. Goff
could go to her husband's assistance
Jones struck the prostrate man twice
again on 'the Oiead. Mrs. Goff sprang
upon the infuriated madman and clung
to him until her husband struggled to
his feet and then Jones broke away
and fled from the house. Later he re
turned and was put under restraint.
For some time past Jones has been
developing softening of the brain, but
he gave no indications of becoming a
furious maniac. He was taken to the
asylum at Trenton today. While Mr.
God's Injuries are serious, they will
probably not prove fatal.

LIVELY WEEK JN CONGRESS
Questions That Will Provoke a Fusi-
lade of Oratory .
ANOTHER TALK OYER HAWAII
Programme for the Week Promises Any
thing but Actual Business Democ
racy Uopelessly Divided in the Senate-Financial
Problems.
By tho United Press.
Washington, Feb. 2. The Fifty-third
congress enters tomorrow -upon the last
four weelii of Its session. In both sen
ate and house the few working days
now remaining before final adjourn
ment are likely to be crowded with
striking Incidents and exciting debates
on topics, any one of which may pro
duce a dead lock and compel the cull
ing of the Fifty-fourth congress In ses
sion. -Earnest efforts are being made
by the administration leaders to avoid
this contingency. The situation, how
ever, Is rendered much less favorable
than It was at the beginning of the
session, by the fact that the Democrats
have practically lost control of tho
senate and are so divided on financial
Issues in the house us to be practically
in a minority in that chamber upon
many of the leading questions at Issue.
The senate tomorrow, by agreement,
will take a vote upon the District of
Columbia appropriation bill, a perfectly
Inoffensive measure of local adminis
tration which, in previous years, has
usually been passed as rapidly as It
could be read, but which this year has
occupied the attention of the senate for
three days, notwithstanding indignant
denials that any dilatory tactics were
contemplated on this measure.
Much more Important than the vote
on this bill will be the debate which
will be sprung tomorrow In the morn
ing hour on the motion of Senator Mc
pherson, of New Jersey, to discharge
the finance committee from the further
consideration of the bill Introduced by
Mr. Sherman for the relief of the treas
ury. Mr. McPherson will speak to the
resolution himself, and Mr. Peffer has
a prepared speech on the general sub
Ject which he has been anxious to de
liver for several days.
Another Hawaiian Wrangle.
When the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill is called up early
in the week a still animated political
debate is in prospect. The whole Ha-
wallun question will come up and, it is
expected, that -with the accessions
given to the opponents of the adminis
tration by the arrival of Senators Man
tle and Clark, of Montana, the action
of the senate last week, when, by a
majority of two votes, it adopted the
Vest substitute upholding the policy
of non-intervention In Hawaii, will be
reversed. This substitute ha3 never
been acted upon as a finality, but Is
still pending as an amendment to the
origlnul resolution, which condemned
the action of the administration and
declared It to be the sense of the senate
that a war ship should be kept at
Honolulu.
The appropriation recommended to
be added to- the bill by the senate com
mittee on appropriations for the con
struction of an American cable to Ha
waii, which Indirectly conflicts with
the recommendations of -the president
In his recent message as to the landing
place of Hawaii cables, will necessarily
provoke further debate. This amend
ment appropriates $500,000 and author
izes the president to contract for the
entire work of laying a telegraphic
cable between the United States and
the Hawaiian Islands, and to direct the
prosecution of such work whenever
such contract shall be made. This will
be followed by another partisan de
bate on the amendment, also recom
mended by the senate committee on ap
propriations to appropriate $6,000 for
the execution of the obligations of the
United States In the protection of the
interests and property of the United
States in the Samoan islands, under
the existing treaty with the govern
ment of those Islands and with the
governments of Germany and Great
Britain. Here again the recommenda
tions of Secretary Gresham are antag
onized. Senators Aldrlch, Hawley,
Lodge, Hoar, Chandler, Allison, Teller,
and Piatt propose to tako part In the
debate on the Hawaiian resolutions
and possibly on the Samoan question.
What Mr. Allen Threatens
Mr. Allen Is liable at any time to pre
cipitate another partisan debate on n
privilege question by calling up his
resolution to Investigate the recent
election of a senator In Alabama. The
so-called credentials of Colonel Reese,
Senator Morgan's Populist opponent,
having been Introduced and placed on
file, it Is within the limits of possibility
that Mr. Allen may get the united Re
publican support for his resolution
which directs the appointment of a
committee with full power to investi
gate and report to the senate.
The probable programme of business
In the house Is this: Monday will be
given to the consideration of what Is
known as the "omnibus claim bill,"
being a measure reported from tho
committee on war clulms, combining
thirty-seven separate war claims re
ferred to that committee, and calling
for a total appropriation of over $600,
000. Consideration of the measure has
always heretofore been antagonized.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are
to be assigned to the consideration and
disposition of the latest currency and
banking bill reported on Friday last
from Mr. Springer's banking and cur
rency commltttee.

By the United Press.
Paris, Feb. 3. All military and offi
cial Paris attended today the funeral
of Marshal Canrobert. The ceremonies
were the same as at the state funeral
of Marshal McMahon, almost a year
and a half agot but the crowds in the
Streets were smaller and the signs of
mourning less numerous among the
people.
The crowd that came out to see the
last honors paid to the last marshal
of France was much smaller than the
gathering at the railway station where
Henry Roohefort was welcomed home
from his years of exile in England.
The whole Paris mob seemed packed
in the open square. In it were all the
socialist deputies and the socialist
revolutionary societies bad brought out
their last man, and stood in. solid
phalanx close to the station entrance.
It Is estimated that 200,000 persons
stood In the streets while thousands
more looked down from windows and
roofs. The speeches of welcome and
replies lasted more than an hour, dur
ing which the throng cheered incessant
ly. The enthuslusm surpassed any
thing seen here since the Russian naval
officers departed, but there was no dis
order and no arrests.
RAIL MAKING INDUSTRY.

By the United Press.
Harrlsburg, Pa., Feb, 3. Although
the last week of January was a fairly
busy one, the month was unsatisfactory
to iron and steel manufacturers in this
vicinity. February prospects showed
an improvement within the week and
everybody is looking for an iticreasa'of
demand this month. It is probable
that March will see an improved situ
ation. Several Harrtsburg plants have
ordered Bupplles of pig iron from the
Virginia furnaces for 1895 at prices con
siderably below those of Pennsylvania
producers, but they are not heavily Sup
plied with work. Every plant in the
lower end, except the Chesapeake Nail
works, which have been In operation
only a few days in seven weeks was
in operation last week.
The week was a busy one in the rail
making branches of the Pennsylvania
Steel works. Over $50,000 was paid out
to employes for work done Jan. 1-15,
against $23,000 for the same period last
year. The furnace blown In, No. 2,
made Its first cast om Friday, and is ex
pected to make 250 tons a day. Two
other furnaces were taken off last week
for repairs and on account of tempora
ry dullness, leaving but three in oper
ation. TERRORS ARE WANTED.
