Mr. Millard, of Susquehanna, Intro duces tin Important Bill. 0RK FOR BOARD OF CHARITIES Pure I'ooJ and Pure Be:r Hills Uuvo Pushed Second Kcudlng-Uruggistst Object to tho Mcdlelno features of the Msasurv. Special to the Scrsnton Tribune. Harrlsburg, March 8. The house adopted a resolution today for an In vestigation of the Keeley cute treat ment by the state board of public chari ties. It m introduced by Air. Millard, of ' SusquWianna, by request of the Catholic Temperance league of Luzerne county- A WHRKlsh member tried to make the resolution ridiculous by offer ing an amendment that ."all the old drunkards In the state be sent to the Xeeley Institutes at the expense of the mate." The amendment was ruled out of order. The resolution follows: Whereas, Drunkenness Is said to be (in Increasing evil In the land and to present one of the most serious features of the problem of caring for the criminal and indigent classes by direction and under control of the state, and Whereas. It it now being widely main tained that drunkenness Is more often a disease that moral frailty or crime, and can be cured by scientific medical treat ment. Therefore, be It Kesolved, It the senate concur, that the state board of public charities be and Is hereby authorized and empowered to make careful Inquiry Into the matter of tiro treatment of drunkenness as a dis ease and is instructed to make report to the general assembly at the session of 1!7 as to the efficacy of such treatment so far as ft can be determined, and as to whether it Is feasible to upply any of the existing methods of treatment or some modification thereof In connection with the management of the penal, charitable and reformatory Institutions of the state. A special order was made for the Clarency amendment to the banking act so as to relieve building and loan associations from making semi-annual report to the department for second reading on next Wednesday and third reading the following Thursday. Mr. Clarency has received petitions from four-fifths of the local building and loan associations In the state urging the passage of the bill. The law in Its presents form requires these concerns to make semi-annual report to the de partment, to be published in the news papers of the county In which the prin cipal otlice is located. For Better llecr. Representative Crothers. of Phila delphia, and Griggsby. of Lawrence, have pure food bills. Mr. Griggsby has two measures, one forbidding the adul teration of food and drugs, and the other the doctoring of beer and liquors. Uoth bills are on the second reading calendar. tr. Crotnere has cuUul uw Hewitt pure food measure, which passed the last session and was vetoed by Governor Pattison. Today Mr. Crothers asked for a special order for his bill. This started up the Ire of Mr. sGrlggsby, who said that In his ex perience in two legislatures this was the most discourteous act he had seen offered to a fellow-member. He ex plained what his bills are and that they are ahead of the Crothers measures on the calendar. He said he hrfd as much respect for the memory of IX-n Hewitt as any man. but that had no bearing on the question at Issue. The Crothers resolution was voted down by a pro nounced majority. Mr. Griggsby said when the pure food bill comes up next week he would amend It to knock out things at the re quest of the State Pharmaceutical as sociation. A delegation of druggists was here last week protesting against the Insertion of drugs, claiming that the act of 1SS7, to prevent the adultera tion of drugs. Is sufficient. It leaves the matter in charge of a committee of ex perts who are now busy prosecuting people for adulterating medicines all over the state. Mr. Blddle, of P.edford, wanted a spe cial order for the E. W. Smiley road bill, but he did not get it. He said he had received letters and petitions from farmers all over the state ask ing for the passage of a road bill of lome kind. The bill provides that each county shall constitute a separate road district, and that a convention be held annually of delegates from the town ships. The -convention Is to formulate regulations for Improvement of the roads In the county and they are to be enforced by township supervisors. Smith Ulll Petitions. A cart load of documents were dumped on Speaker Walton's desk. The patriotic societies have evidently been very active In the Interest of the Smith bill making it a misdemeanor for any teacher to wear any religious garb or insignia in the public schools. The peti tions for the measure came like an avalanche, and from all quarters of the state. So far, not a remonstrance has been filed against the bill. Klther the denominations Intended to be restrained are Indifferent or passive In their oppo sition. There were many protests against the repeal of the oleo law and petitions for the passage of the Pennl well local option law. Although the Farr compulsory education bill has passed the final stage In the house and is certain to go through the senate, peti tions continue to pour In from every quarter of the state. . A bill was introduced by Mr. Har vey, of Luzerne, making It unlawful In the manufacture of brooms and brushes to employ more than C per cent, of the labor from the convict labor of any penal Institution. Mr. Schwarz, of Monroe, presented a bill for a license of 125 for livery stable keepers In boroughs. Violation of tho act Is made punishable by a fine of and costs for the, use of the borough. Bills were also Introduced allowing Justices of the peace to divide the costs between the prosecutor and defendant where the prosecutor falls to establish charges In petty criminal suits; provid ing that teachers' Institutes be held In July and August and that the teachers be paid while In attendance.

The stock fell today from 29 to Tii., where It closed. The stock of the Lehigh Nav igation company also fell from 44 to 40. There was very little movement In the stock of the Reading company, and It remains firm at 3. The oft re peated rumor that the Lehigh Valley Is to go Into the hands of a receiver was circulated on the streets again today, but an official denial that suOi a thing Is Imminent was made at the office of the company. The absolute embargo placed by the Reading upon the coal of the Lehigh Vulley and Jersey Central roads on Wednesday, and which prevented them sending any coal Into this city, was raised today.

The Longfellow was to have left here lust night lor New Orleans, but the fog was so dense thut she wus not sent out. This morning the fog wus still very thick, but It was decided to sail. Tne boat had aboard about 100 pas sengers. The Longfellow put out from her wharf shortly before 7 o'clock and the tov.'boat Hercules Carrell was sent out to eiii her in passing both bridges. The Carrell was secured to the stern of the Longfellow, and both boats passed down the river to a point about fifty yards above the Chesapeake and Ohio bridge, where the Longfellow became unmanageable. Collision Inevitable. Watchers on shore saw that the bow was pointed directly for the Kentucky shore, and when fully fifty yards dis tant it was seen a collision was inevit able. The Carrel swung around and the strain almost caused the hawsers to part, but they held fast for the time being and It was thought for a moment that the collision could be averted, but a moment later It became apparent that she would strike. Many of the passengers were In their state rooms. The shrill blasts of the whistle on both the Carrel and Long fellow were the first warnings of any danger. The fog was so dense that notslng could.be seen. The officers were cool and collected and retained their presence of mind. The crew were summoned and preparations mude for removing the passengers to the Carrel, which was still moored alongside. The sound when the boat was struck could be heard for several squares away. A moment later the river was black with floating wreckage ami freight. The passengers escaped to the Carrell and when the collision occurred the hawser broke, while the Carrell drifted to the Kentucky side of the river. The wreck sank quickly, and three minutes later scarcely a vestige remained. The steamer Longfellow was one of the largest, best known and handsomest packets on the Ohio river. History of tho Crnft The Longfellow was built In 1S70 at Cincinnati and named the U. P. Schenck. Its tonnage was 0,178; Its length when built was 21)1 feet, and Its beam forty-two feet. About two years ago It was lengthened thirty feet and named anew, and since then has been muklng regular trips. The boat was valued at J--..VI0 and was Insured for $12,000. When first built she was mod eled for freight carrying, but when re modelled was mude into as large and roomy a passenger steamer as the river carried. She was commanded by John K. Klrker. In addition to the officers there were thirty roustubouts, two bak ers, two chambermaids, four fireman and a second mate. After the boat went to pieces the cabin and parts of the hull floated down the river. Tugs chased them and succeeded In landing them at different points down the river. In the wreckage the body of Mrs. Aull was found. The boat carried 000 tons of freight, mainly Insured. Among the Items were 500 threshing machines of the Wulter A.

PRISONER RETAINS HIS NERVE l nmoved Whllo Listening to tho Words That Doomed II I in to Death-Jeored ut by tho Mob A Jury of One Mind. Minneapolis, Minn., March 8. Guilty as charged, was the verdict rendered today at the trial of Harry T. Hay ward. On the night of Deo. 3 last Cath erine Ging was murdered by Claus A. Bllxt at the instigation of Hay ward, who at the moment the murder was committed was occupying a seat at the Grand Opera House. The Jury, after retiring, ate dinner, took one ballot, and found him guilty of murder in the first degree. Two hours later It filed Into court and the verdict was read. The jury retired at 11 o'clock this morning after listening to Attorney Erwln's closing remarks and the judge's charge. At 2.10 it re ported an agreement, and at 2.80 the verdict was rendered. When Hay ward appeared he was faultlessly dressed, as usual, and ap parently as cool as ever, but he was somewhat out of . humor, for' he threw his hat down on' the ittorney's table with force enought to split it. His at torneys cautioned him hot to exhibit any temper, and he subsided. When the verdict was presented every eye was turned to Hayward as the clerk started to read the paper. There was nothing In his face to indi cate that he had heard a word of It. He threw his head back as the word "guilty" was pronounced, but It was only to adjust his color band. He did not change color In the slightest. Then looking around at the crowd he raised his eye brows Inquiringly. During the polling of the jury he lis tened to the answers, but the expres sion in his face was one of indignation ruther than any other sentiment. In obedtance to the Instructions of County Attorney Nye, who was absent on ac count of sickness, A. H. Hall, assist ant attorney, moved for Immediate sentence, but the court decided not to pronounce sentence utll Monday. Iluyward was then taken back to jail under a stronger guard of officers. He grinned at the mob and appeured to be interested In Its noisy demonstrations. Compliments of tho Mob. "Good-bye, Harry, old boy, you are a dead duck," yelled one of the crowd, as Hayward was being escorted back to the jail. "Not yet," answered Hayward In a firm voice. The Jury was averse to talking at all about, anything, but It was ultimately learned from one of the members that a vote was not taken until about half an hour after dinner, and thut only one was necessury. W, W. Hayward learned the news of his son's conviction from an extra pa per purchased from a newsboy. Dr. T. T. Hayward, a brother of Harry, spoke as follows about the verdict: "1 have told my father all along that nothing but a verdict of guilty could be expected from the line of defense which has been pursued. But the old man don't believe now thut Harry ever did the thing. I fought against the adop tion of thl.i line of defense all along. Harry's condition of mind was nut right on moral questions. Call It Insanity, If you will. His mind was disordered on that subject. Hu could not distinguish between right and wrong. "Father would hot admit that ' his son could do such a thing, even If hu was Insane, and therefore he Insisted on this line of defense." Monday, April 15, has been set as the date of the trial of Claus Bllxt. It Is learned from good authority that Judge Pond will hear the oase In accordance with, ah agreement between the Judges. Wltnoasca Are Arrested. Two of the most Important witnesses for the (U'fcnse In the Hayward case were tonight arrested on the charge of perjury upon complaints sworn out by R. R. Odell, attorney for C. A. Bllxt, the real murderer. ,'hlle the warrants were Issued at the Instance of Odell It Is the prevailing, opinion that he Is acting In accord with an agreement with the state's attorney. The wit nesses arrested are: G. A. Orlndall and Miss Maggie Wachter, formerly a sten ographer In the employ of Bllxt's at torney. The testimony upon which the warrant for Grlndall Is based Is rela tive to the mysterious "third man." Orindnll declared positively that on the night of the murder he saw a man enter the buggy which Miss Glng was driving near the West hotel. His testimony was uncorroborated, while a number of other witnesses said he, was a mile or more away from the West hotel at the time specified. i, Miss Wach tor's testimony was In re gard to a statement' claimed to have been made by Bllxt to hit attorney to 14 ui v I'jl 111 i y U i I . - V. V . .i And You Know the Rest. the effect that Adry Hayward had Insti gated the murder and that the two had plunned to throw the crime upon Harry should they be arrested for It. MIbs Wachter has testified that Bllxt had made the statement that Adry was the Instigator of the murder and had been severely chlded for so doing. The arrests were totally unexpected, and Miss Wachter and Grlndall were locked up In the central police station early this evening. Several other wit nesses are said to be on the state's list, but some of them are known o have left town. DUX'S REVIEW OF TRADE. Fears of Financial Disorder No Longer Retard tho Growth of lluslness-Tlio General Outlook Seems Hopeful. New York, March 9. R. G. Dunn and Co.'s weekly review tomorrow will say: Congressional adjournment and proof that though the rate of exchange rises to and even above the shipping point, gold does not go out, have produced a much better feeling. Prices do not im prove, and there Is on the whole no gain, but some loss In wages, while strikes of 15,000 coal miners near Pitts burg and several thousand building workers here, besides strikes In ten or twelve textile and Iron establish ments further lessen purchasing power for the-time. But anticipation of Inproved demand for goods is general, and many are manufacturing and buying beyond present needs on the strength of It. Fears of financial disorders no longer retard the growth of business. 9trlkes to resist the reduction of wages In several textile Works, and re ductions effected In some others, by no means contradict the accounts that the mills are receiving somewhat bet ter orders. Prices of goods are very low and print cloths have fullen to 2.44 cents below any former record. Money markets have hardened some what, and rather more commercial pa per Is offered, especially In dry goods. Failures for the week have been 234 In the United States against 248 last year, and CS In Canada against GO last year. , NO TRACE OF REV. BACIIE. Tho Missing Lifo Insurance Agent Stfll Absent. New York, March 8. No trace of the whereabouts of the Rev. John Owen Ilache, the missing agent of the Union Central Life Insurance company, of Cincinnati, have been received In this city us yet. President Pattison said this morning: "We have found no traceof Mr. Bache yet. We are looking for him with our own men. It seems to be settled that he had considerable money with him and somebody may have followed him for this, so that he may have met with foul play. It Is also pretty well settled that he left the boat at Fall River and took the train for Boston, so if any thing has happened to him, we think it was In that city." INCOME TAX CASES. Arguments Continued In the United States Supremo Court. Washington, March 8. The argument In the income tux cases was continued in the supreme court of the United States today in the presence of an audi ence of visitors who more than exhaust ed the accommodations provided for them, and of a large number of attor neys and members of congress who were Interested In the outcome of the case.
