QUAY'S FIGURES DOUBTED
The Old Man's Kcccnt Tulk Is Re
ceived with Derision.
AN EXHIBITION 01 WEAKNESS
Friends of the Senator Arc Surprised
at Hist Latest 1-isurcs - Tho
Result In Lackawanna
Creates Interest.
Special to tho Seranton Tribune.
Philadelphia. Pa., July ll.-The facts
and llgures, or rather the fukos and
figments, given out Inrt night by Mr.
Quay as to the probabilities of his suc
cess In the coming state convention,
were the talk of all men who read them
th!s morning. Even it he most intimate
frit-ndsof Mr. Quay were amazed. Talk
Ir.g on his part at this time also sur
prised them, and almost to a man they
think the figures on majorities came
from either Andrews or beach in
Quay's name.
tin -the other 'hand, they argue that
if they are Quay's figures ami he gave
them out hinuvlf it is the most abject
confession f weakness he has ever
made. Indeed, some of them do not
hesitate to express their fear that the
scnato- Is a victim of political paresis.
The figures of iMr. Quay are intended
to stimulate the fainting 'hearts of his
Interior friends who nre tumbling over
each other 4n their efforts to get to the
support cf Governor Hastings. Not a
man In the Quay camp in Philadelphia
or out of it has an atom of confidence
In these figures. Even"' Saturnine An
drews, who barely sm!le9, grinned all
over when he Rvit these figures and paid
to Leach: "Won't the people be a lit
tle suspicious of the old man trying
the experiment of talking at this late
day." As a matter of fact the figures
given out by Senator Quay are so gross
ly Improbable that they are ridiculous
and have fallen flat and v-?ry far from
their purposes.
The greatest Interest Is manifested
here over the rcrult In Lackawanna to
morrow. The knowledge that Quay
has dumped something like J4.0OO into
the county with which to buy miners
has added to the Interest. The feelinsr
here Is that the sturdy sons of toil will
re?snt this insult to 'their political in
tegrity by overwhelmingly defeating
the Quay crowd.
MR. MAG EE INTERVIEWED.
Ilo Points Out the Absurdity of Senator
Quay's Stntcmcnts.
Harrlrburg, Pa., July 11. Charles
Emory Smith, C. U Magee, Charles E.
Vorhees and others had a conference
with Governor Hastings at the execu
tive mansion tonight. Before going to
the mansion -Mr. Magee was asked
about Senator Quay's statement pub
lished In the United Press despatches
this morning and said:
"Colonel Quay claims that out of 136
delegates already elected he has 101.
leaving 35 for Governor Hastings and
Chairman Gilk'son. The truth is that
of the 133 delegate's already elected 6S
are committed to Colonel Gilkeson.
"Colonel Quay also claims that his
total vote 1n the convention will be
184 and that of his opponent 105. Al
legheny has already elected twenty-
three d?legates for Gilkeson. The stout
est Quay adherents concede Gllkeson
sixty-five votes In Philadelphia. That
is a total of elghty-ftight In these two
counties. The absurdity of Colon-1
Quay's statement that Gllkeron will
only have 103 votes In the convention
can be easily seen, as It only gives Gil-
keson seventeen delegates outside of
these two counties, while the truth Is
that forty-five delegates have already
been elected for bint outside of Phila
delphia and Allegheny. 'Vith th six
ty-eight d?le?ates alrrad'elected for
Gllkeso-n and the sixty-five he will get
In Phihd-Iph'a. fo's total vote Is 131 or
within twelve votes of enough to elect
without counting anything from the
eighty-four delegates yet to be elt cted
outside of PWlsdelpihla. The changes
are that Colonel Quay In claiming a
majority of sevcrty-n!ne delegates for
himself has given about th figures of
Colonel Gilkceon's majority over him."

No Suspicion of Anything Wrong in Ills
Accounts.
"Washington, July 11. At the treasury
department It Is stated that there Is no
suspicion that anything Is wrong In the
accounts of Librarian SpofTord, who Is
also disbursing otlieer of the congres
sional library. Under the treasury re
organization made by the Dockery com
mittee treasury auditors were Inhibited
from making an advance of money to
disbursing officers until the previous
quarter's accounts were settled. Audi
tor lloleunib. who has held up Li
brarian Spofford's accounts is simply
carrying out the law. Under the old
system Mr. Spofiord was nearly always
delinquent In sending In his accounts
for settlement, but when sent In they
have, for the past thirty-five or forty
years, been found correct. In all busi
ness matters he Is said to be careless,
his mind being occupied with literary
thought!.
Once Ills nnnunl estimates were left
out of ;he "book of estimates" be
cause he forgot or failed to send them
to the secretary of the treasury in

Casino Will Be Torn Uowa stOaeo-Det-weiler's
Impressions of the Awful
Scene-Allen O. Myers Ex
pelled from the Elks.
Atlantic CMy, N. J July 11. Of the
fifty or sixty persons who were severe
ly Injured In last night's crash at the
Casino building all but two are doing
fairly well. Frederick Klaproth, the
Camden musician, who was so fear
fully crushed between the beams, is in
a ci'litlcal condition, as is also Mr.
Frances Japha, of New York, who is
suffering from a compound fracture of
rife thigh and dislocation.
llesldes the above the most seriously
injured are nhe following:
Leopold Krye, Philadelphia; fractured kg.
Antone Diamond, Philadelphia; fracture
of leg.
L. II. Hamburger, Philadelphia; fractured
leg.
J. L. Eekman, of Mount Holly, N. J., frac
tured leg.

the thigh.
Dr. Fry, of Roanoke-, Va,; leg fractured
' and internally Injured.
Monroe Barry, of New York; leg broken.
James J. Armstrong, of New York,
who was reported to have had both
logs broken, only sustained bruises. A
number of others-reported badly hurt
last night were not so seriously as was
supposed at the time.
An Investigation of the building
showed that the accident was due to
the center post of the floor yielding
gradually to the enormous weight to
which it was subjected. Those who
were fortunate enough to be on one side
of the pavilion when the collapse oc
curred s-aid that the floor gave way In
a halting manner, and It was due to the
way in which It went down that more
were not injured.
The Building Condemned,
Mayor Stoy this morning caused the
building Inspector to condemn the re
maining portion of the Casino and tear
It down. The mayor is busying himself
with looking after the people who were
Injured, and seeing that they are well
cared for.
iMeade D. Detweller, of Harrlsburg,
who was speaking on the stage at the
time of the accident, said he was para
lyzed with horror when the collapse
occurred. Theseaof faces before hiseyes
appeared to go down Into a chasm.
The -awful cry as they descended was
something .terrible, and will remain
Impressed on bis tnmory as the most
shocking event of his .life. He was
rooted to the spot and could not move
for a minute as the full realization of
what had happened dawned upon Mm.
At the Elk9' headquarters the lost
hats, coats and other property of those
who were Injured in the disaster are
being received and restored to the own
ers. The Elks, at their meeting today,
adopted the new ritual submitted at

der dislocated, and Dr. George Gun-
ster, of the Scranton hospital. Scran-

son returned alone and said he had left
the old man and his son several miles
north. Jackson seemed greatly excited,
but was allowed to depart. The sur
rounding country has been carefully
searched, but no trace of the missing
men has been discovered.

MR. RUSSELL'S BRIGHT CAREER
Sketch of the Head of tho Administra
tion's Press Bureau-Other News
paper Men Who Are Prom
inent In the Conflict.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, July 11. A modes.
young stenographer has suddenly
been, brought Into prominence by the
fight for chalrman of the state Re
publican committee. 'He would prob
ably never have been heard of outside
of 'his narrow circle of friends and ac-
quainta-ncea if It iiad not been for this
content. This young man. Is W. Rus
sell, of whom the newspapers have
lately beea saying so much In connec
tion with the etate administration's
literary bureau. Mr. Russell Is no
mytth, as many persons suppose, but a
sturdy Scotchmiui, with all Hhe gvjod
qualities of his race. He knows no
vices, and Is as- virtuous, upright and
honest as any man who ever lived.
Mr. Russell came to Harrlsburg at
the opening of the last legislature as
amanuensis' of -Oolonel George Nox
McCain, staff corresondent of the
Philadelphia Press. He performed his
work faithfully and well, and made
friends with all with whom he came In
contact. 'He Is a modest as a school
girl and Just as ignorant of practical
politics and the wiles of politicians.
Mr. Russell was placed in charge of
tlw administration's literary bureau
because of 'his honesty and Integrity.
He is a strict Presbyterian and a mem
ber of a leading congregation of that
denomination in Philadelphia..
Two Bright Warriors.
There are no better k-iwwn or more
popular newspaper men in the state
ton, Colonel Henrv Hall of the Plum,
burg Times, and Colonel George Nox
McCain, of the Philadelphia Press
who have charge of the literary work
of the administration's campaign.
Colonel Hull Is one of the most bril
liant writers and public speakers In
file state. 'He served l;wo terms In the
house of representatives from -Mercer
county and had he been re-elected. In
m, he would have been- speaker. He
Is governor of t'he Association of Penn
sylvania Legislative Correspondents.
Colonel McCain 1s lieutenant gover
nor f'f thp same association. Before Col
onel McCain went to the Press eight
years ago, ihe held a responsible posi
tion with the Pittsburg Dispatch. He
tea thorough all-around newspaper man
with a wide circle of acquaintances.
He went all through the late guberna
torial campaign with Governor Hast
ings and his epell-blnders and after
ward wrote a book for private distri
bution giving a graphic and compre
hensive account of the trip. Colonels
Hall and McCain are aides on Governor
Hastings' staff.
Tho Personality of Andrews.
Senator Andrews, of Crawford, is In
chai ge of the headquarters of Senator
Quay. Andrews was unknown outside
of Crawford county until eight years
ago, when he came to the house of
representatives. He soon sprung Into
prominence as the personal representa
tive of Colonel Quay, through whose
assltance he was made chairman of
the state Republican, committee In 1889.
Andrews' manipulation of the party
organization to nominate Delamater for
governor In ls0 made htm so un
popular tihflit after the defeat of the
gubernatorial candidate, the Craw
ford senator was dropped by Colonel
Quay. In the same campaign Andrews
was defeated for the senate.
Andrews turned up In 1S93 as a can
didate for the house of representatives
and was defeated, Although he was
seated against the bitter protests of
such sterling Republicans as the late
Benjiimln L. Hewit. of Blair, and "Un
cle" John Cessna, of Bedford. Andrews
was elected 'to -the senate last fall. He
Is known among his friends ns "Bull,"
probably because of the bull-dog ten
acity wltih which he goes Into a fight.
He Is one of Senator Quay's most loyal
friends and with Frank Willing Leach,
has charge of the dotails of his cam
paign. A.ndrews has limited knowl
edge of parllammtary tactics. He can
not ni.il o n speech, but no man In the
e'.vt-y can pass or kill a bill more suc
cessfully. MRS. BARNUM MAY WED.
