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. This appointment will give very
general satisfaction. Mr. Chase will
make an excellent official and will give
his personal attention to the duties of
the office, which are both onerous and
responsible. The office is worth any
where from $5,000 to $7,000 a. year. Mr.
Chase was backed by many of the lead
ing Republicans of the olty.

FOR HIS LIFE.
James Hendricks on Trio! for tho Murder
of Harney liclck.
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.

hoisted on the elevator. As It neared
the third floor, the belting connecting
the elevator machinery with the shaft
ing broke. The elevator, with its heavy
load, dropped like a flash to the bottom
of the shaft. The" rapidity with which
the machinery was operated as the ele

caped being struck.
