IS QUAY COUNTY DEAD ? Rejoicing Over tho Falluro of the Bill to Pass Yesterday. There was considerable rejolotng here yesterday when the news came from Harrisburg that the Quay county bill had failed to command the constitu tional majority on third reading. It is hoped, by the opponents of the new county and nearly everybody in "Wilkes-Barre is opposed to it that this will be the end of the new county move ment. And now the good people of the county teat can devote their attention to fighting the Grow county movement. Word comes from the state capital that the fight for Quay county may be re newed if Senator Quay should, when he appears at Hurlsburg, express a de sire that it be passed, but this is not at all likely to occur. It is fairly Bate to predict that the Quay county move ment is dead eo far an the present legislature is concerned. Senator Kline, the father of the bill, has unfortunately been sick for several weeks, or the re sult of the final Vote in the house might have been different. E. II. CHASE WINS. Be Was Yesterday Appointed Tnx He eolver by Judge Kico. The long drawn out contest over the appointment of tax receiver for the city of Wllkes-Barre was yesterday ended when President Judge Rice handed down a paper appointing Kdward H. Chase.

It was 12 o'clock yesterday noon be fore the twelfth Juror was secured for the trial of James Hendricks, one of the four young men charged with the murder of Barney Relck. The Jury as constituted Is as follows: Jonathan R. Jones. Wilkes-Barre. Kllas Corny, Falrvlew. R. M. Hughes, Pittston. J. W. Hagadorn, Pittston. Joseph Welsh, Pittston. Daniel R. Thomas, Wilkes-Barre, AVIlllam Davis, Plymouth. John Miles, Plymouth. Hugh Malny, Hazleton. James H. Keast, Pittston. ' James Hrennan, Plymouth. , John O'Hara, Hazleton.- After the Jury had been secured court adjourned until 2 o'clock. Tho crowd was so dense when court convened that a force of special policemen was re quired to maintain order. Some sur prise was occasioned by counsel for the defense objecting to the appearance in the case of John T. Lenahan as assist ant of tha district attorney. Tho re quest of District Atorney Fell that Mr. Lenahan be permitted to assist him was granted by Judge Woodward. The district attorney then ois-ned the chhp In a curefully prepared address, setting forth tho history of the crime. Tho first Important witness was Dr. Pierce, who was called to attend Relck after he was found lu the D'lawnre and Hudson frieght yard. The witness testlllud that in his opinion the man died from the effects of an Injury to tho neck. Wllllnm O. Anderson, the next wit ness, Bald he was working on the rall ivmd the night of the murder and heard a man calling for help. He said he ran down the track and found Relck, who was bleeding profusely from the mouth. Relck was conscious and said he was going to die and wanted us to take his name and address, and we did so. He told us he had been assaulted and robbed, but did not say who his assailants were. Several other witnesses were examined but simply confirmed what the foregoing had testi fied to. Court then adjourned until this morn ing. The more Important evidence for the prosecution will probably be heard today. POLITICAL POINTERS. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Watres has many earnest and effective supporters in Luzerne county In his prospective candidacy forUnlted States senator. The Republican league of Wilkes Barre Is becoming a strong and compact organization which If rightly managed will become an Important and Influ ential factor In the future politics of Luzerne county. , , Luzerne county, owing to the heavy vote cast for Hastings last November, will be entitled to ten delegates In the next RepublleansWteconventlon.a gain of three. The representation of Lu zerne will equal that of Lancaster county. Unless Congressman Lelsenrlng should greatly dlsappdlnt his Republi can constituents he will be conceded the nomination for a second term with out opposition, and unless conditions undergo a complete change his election will easily follow. Ex-District Attorney John M. Gar man is now the recognized representa tive of tho Harrity faction in Luzerne, and will have a good dual to say when me time is ripe ror tne appointment or a Democratic postmaster In Wilkes Barre. Mr. Garman will also be expect ed to see to It that two obedient Harrity men are selected for delegates to the next Democratic National convention. Naturally 'Mr. Garman will select him self as one of the said delegates. A few of the more hopeful Democratic leaders of Luzerne county are quietly considering and discussing plans for the redemption, or rather the resurrec tion, of their party with a view to the recovery of the ground they lost In the last two elections. The Luzerne Dem ocracy Is In a badly disorganized condi tion, but the leaders will make an effort to get together. It Is said that ex-Congressman Hlnes, In spite of his disas trous defeat last fall, will claim that he Is entitled to another chance for the customary second term and will seek the congress nomination next year. He will be antagonized, of course, but he has a way of capturing Democratic conventions that seems not to be under stood by his enemies! It Is also Inti mated that John T. Lenahan may blos som out as an aspirant for the congress nomination next year, and if he does he will give Mr. Hlnes a vast amount of trouble. On l ull Time. The mines of the Lehigh and Wilkes- Barre Coal company are now working on full time for the first In many months. There is great rejoicing among the employes and their only fear is the good times will not long continue. BRIEF NOTES.

The elevator, with its heavy load, dropped like a flash to the bottom of the shaft.
