Af ter bill had boon lead In pliice, as giv en below, Mr. Keyset', of Philadelphia, presented a motion calling from the senate the Mitchell reso'lltlon to ap point a committee of three members of the senate and Jive of the house to In vestigate the maner of conducting the state treasury, which was non-concurred in by the house last week and returned to the senate. Mr. llllss, of Delaware, moved that the resolution lie on the table. This was defeated by a vote of 08 to 79. Mr. Stewart, of Philadelphia. In a vlgoious speech, opposed Mr. Kcyser's motion. He attacked the system of commonwealth llnancleiing, and, while he had nothing to say about the pres ent state treasurer, he wanted the light turned on the whole system. Ho charged that such an investigation as Is proposed would not he falily con ducted and that factional feeling would enter into the appointment of the com mittee. NO REFLECTIONS MEANT. Mr. Baldwin, of Delaware, resented the Imputation that Speaker Boyer would not appoint a fair committee, and declared it was a rollectlon on the presiding olllcer that was uncalled for. Mr. .Stewart disclaimed any Inten tion to relied on the chair. Mr. Focht, of Union, wanted to know from whom this demand for an Investigation came. "The abuses complained of are admit ted by the state treasurer," said he. Incidentally Mr. 'Focht attacked the senate Investigating committee, and declared It was the humiliation of the Republican party In the state. Mr. linger, of i-nlladelphla, thought there should be nn opportunity given the state treasurer and auditor genera! to show what there is In these charges, If anything; that he thought the editors of newspapeis who are making these charges should llrsl be heard.

CONTRADICTED BY VARIOUS LAYMEN Experts in tlic Johnston Case Met by Rebutting Testimony. SAY THE DOCTOR WAS NOT INSANE .11 en Who Knew Illm All Their Lives mill Upon Whom Ho Had Called on the Very Day of tfiu Shooting De clare He Was Perfectly national. A Pretty How D'ye Uo in Medical Jurisprudence. Now Bloomlleld, Pa Jan. 2S. The at torneys for Dr. Thomas L. Johnston accused of the murder of Druggist Henry at Duncunnon, depend entirely upon the expert testimony of the medi cal specialists, who were on the stand yesterday, to save his life from the gallows. They made a desperate at tempt this morning to prevent any thing being stnted by the witnesses for the commonwealth which tended to show that Dr. Johnston was of sound mind. In rebuttal today, George Freeburn, division foreman of the Pennsylvania railroad, said lie escorted Airs. Juhns ton around the curve below Duncannon some time, before the shooting, because the doctor, who had brought her there, said he would not risk driving around that point while the Pennsylvania Railroad company was blasting so many rocks which fell Into the road way. The testimony was to rebut the statement made that the doctor was driving back and forth at this point like an Insane man. Airs. Elizabeth Harper, wife of the head machinist in the Duncannon Ala chine works, told what Mrs. Johnston had said to her at the residence of George Noss, whore she was carried after hovlng been shot by her hus band. Dr. Johnston, she said, had shot her, notwithstanding her shielding him of. his Ill-treatment for mnny years. Airs. Harper saw him only a short time before tho shooting. He was her fami ly physician and she always thought tho, doctor sane. JOHNSTON NOT INSANE. Airs. Pennel, of Duncannon, said that Dr. Johnston had attended her as late as three months before the shooting and at S a. m. on the day of the shoot ing the doctor called to see her. She had been sick. He then appeared cool and gentlemanly. She declared that she would not have employed him had she thousht he was Insane. George Noss, a merchant at Duncan non, to whose house Airs, Johnston was taken after having been shot, said he knew the doctor tlfteen years. He spoke with him thousands of times and was In his Btore frequently. Dr. Johnston was the family nhvsle'nn for.. b last eight years. He had called Dr. Johnston's at tention to his talking to himself and the doctor replied: "I always llketo talk to a gentleman," meaning himself. This line of testimony was continued by the commonwealth In rebuttal to what the defence had brought out about the prisoner's condition, which was characterized as delusional Insanity. FROZEN FIRE PLUGS. For.n Time They Threaten the Utter Destruction of Tyrone. Altoonn, Pa., Jan. 28.

The fire originated in the mill occupied by the Tyrone Junk company and this building was totally destroyed, entailing a loss of $3,000, with $1,500 In surance, Owing to tho fact that tho fire plugs were frozen up It was some time before water could be got on the fire and a number of stables and outbuildings were soon In llames and destroyed, making a total loss of $5,000.

Tho great pool of steel billet manufacturers of the American Bessemer association, re garded for a time as nn Invincible trust, will nlmost beyond doubt be formally dissolved at a meeting to bo held In Pittsburg tomorrow.

Nearly all the firms, except the Bellalro Stepl com pany, hnve sold their output for six months ahead, so that as far ns they are concerned the brokers cut but small figures. These sales were made at llg ures ranging from $15 to $16.50. BLIZZARD IN NEW ENGLAND. The ."Host Severe Since the Famous One of 1888. Boston, Jan. 2S.
