House" Reverses tlio Decision of the

Needlework Imported by the New
York Association of Sowing Schools
for Exhibition Purposes.
Washington, Keb. 18. The senate
passed today without a word ot expla
nation, a bill which i It becomes a
law, will Introduce a new postal card
system. It Is "a bill to extend the use
of the mail service." It was Introduced
in the early part of last session by Air.
Vilas, o Wisconsin, and was referred
to the postotllce committee from which
It was reported back with amendments
on the ISth of last month. A week ago
an attempt was made to have It passed
by unanimous consent; but objection
was then mudo by Mr. Allen, ot Nebras
ka, who said that from the reading of
the bill. It appeared to propose the con
ferring of a monopoly. Mr, Vilas ad
mitted that it did confer a monopoly,
but ho said, that as the company con
cerned owned the patent for the Inven
tion, there must necessarily be a mon
opoly. Mr. Allen promised to look into
the matter and when Mr. Vilas asked
unanimous consent today for the pass
age of the bill ho said that Mr. Allen
was satisfied with It. No objection was
made and the bill was passed, without
Its being even read, except by title.
Its purpose Is to allow the circulation
by mail, of the postal cards and envel
opes, with coupons attached, patented
and owned by a West Virginia corpora
tion at regular postal card and letter
rates, "paid on presentation of the
coupons from the said cards and envel
opes when detached at the oillce of
delivery."
The postmaster fieneial Is to test the
practical operation of the plan In two
or more cities and to suspend its oper
ation If the test prove unfavorable.
There were nine sections to the bill,
but they do not convey a clear Idea of
the plan.
Thp senate also passed, without
amendment, house bill for the admis
sion of needle work Imported by the
New York association of Sewing Schools
for exhibition purposes.
The senate had spent only twenty
minutes In legislative session, when on
motion of Mr. Sherman the galleries
were cleared, the doors closed and the
consideration of executive business en
tered upon.
CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
In the contested case of Hopkins (Re
publican) vs. Kendall (Democrat), from
the tenth Kentucky district, the house
today for the llrst time this, session
on a direct Issue of fact, reversed tho
decision of its committee on elections
and seated a contestant whom tho com
mittee had declared not elected. The
case turned u:i on the action of tho
county clerk of Clark county, Ken
tucky, who, without authority, had sub
stituted what was called In the debate
"an odious thieving coon" on the of
ficial ballots In place of the eagle, the
chosen emblem of the Republican party
of Kentucky. It was admitted by tho
committee that this was a "transparent
fraud," and that It was done with In
tent to deceive but It was contended
that the number of colored votes lost in
this manner was not enough to over
come the sitting members majority of
2.r.3 over his contestant. The minority
report contended that fraud vitiated
everything, and that the entire vote
of the county must be thrown out.
After an exceedingly animated discus
sion the house sustained this view by
a vote of 197 to 01.
The rest of the session was given up
to passage of bills by consent, which
lead the leaders to consent to a speedy
adjournment.

President Claims the llusinoss WiiK
Private.
Cleveland, O,, Feb. IS. President M.
M. Garland, of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers ot
America, and Mine Inspector James
Campbell, of Pennsylvania, arrived In
Cleveland this morning.
To a United Associated Presses .man
President Garland said that the sole
object of his coming to Cleveland was
to arrange for reduced rates with the
railroads to the coming annual conven
tion of the Amalgamated association in
Detroit next May.
However, the llrst thing that Presi
dent Garland and his friend Campbell
did after the arrived in this city, was
to drop In on Chairman M. A. Hannu.
Although the waiting room was full of
callers waiting to see Hanna, President
Garland and Mr. Campbell were not

and tho labor leaders last about half an
hour 'and was quite animated on Mr.
Hanna's' part. Hanna did most all tho
talking. After the consultation, Presi
dent Garland declared that his visit
with Mr. Hnnna was purely Incidental
to his business In Cleveland, and had
no political slgnlllcence. He said:
"My talk with Hanna had nothing to
dd with the yearly rate ot CO cents a

his coal miners In thu Pittsburg dis

Hanna was strictly private and I would
much rather have my visit kept unlet."
JOHNSTON GETS 20 YEARS
Duncannon Murderer Given the Full
Penalty of the Law His Life Saved
by One Remark of His Attorney.
New Rloomfleld, Pa., Fob. 18. Dr.
Thomas h. Johnston, who so cruelly
murdered his next door neighbor, Drug
gist George S. Henry, last September,
and was convicted of murder In the sec
ond degree, was today sentenced to
twenty years at solitary confinement
In the Eastern penitentiary by Judge
Lyons. Tills is tho full extent allowed
by law and gives entire satisfaction
with tho people of this community so
far as the efforts of the court nre con
cerned In trying to properly punish the
murder, but the community seems to
be wonderfully wrought up against the
prisoner and In Duncannon, where the
murder was committed there are ru
mors of an attempt to bo made to lynch
the man, should the sheriff endeavor to
take him through that place on his
way to the penitentiary. This rumor
wns strengthened this evening by rev
et nl persons saying they would be
ready to take a bond In such a move.
When Dr. Johnston was called for
sentence he appeared very much changed
In appearance, having had his mustache
shaved off and his hair cropped tptite
close. He looked unusually well and
the wild stare which characterized his
appearance during the trial and In fact
since tho shooting had almost all dis
appeared. Attired In a new suit of
clothing he looked more like a profes
sional man about to leave for a business
trip than to be sentenced to the peni
tentiary for murder. A smile crept
over bis face us tho sentence was pro
nounced and not a sign of regret or
fear manifested Itself. Ho really
seemed to be happy and was removed
to the dilapidated county jail, which
It Is feared will not hold. him very long
because of Its tumbled dov. n condition.
The Johnston murder trial became
famous because of tho prominence of
tho principals, both of whom were
wealthy and stood high In Duncannon.
A plea of delusional insanity was en
tered and four experts on Insanity with
International reputations swore the
man was crazy, although none of his
neighbors ever thought he was. Sev
eral jurymen said today it was the
throat made by James M. Rock, United
Stales district attorney from Philadel
phia, who said if Dr. Johnston wns
hanged ho would see to It that the
man's skull would be opened and the
Jurors Informed that they had sent a
man to his death who was crazy.
This one remark Is said to have saved
Dr. Johnston's life.
None of his relatives wore present to
day when he was sentenced but his
wife's two sisters were In the village
ready to render him any assistance.
Mrs. Johnston Is 111 In bed from the
effects of today's proceedings. She will
soil off her household goods and likely
go to live with her sister, Mrs. Helster,
at Newport.
Dr. Johnston had been unruly and
very stubborn .since Incarcerated, bis
counsel even not being able to do very
much with 1,1m. He has been endeav
oring by every means possible to get
his wife to come to see him In his coll
but she has thus far persistently re
fused to do so, because it is believed
he would kill her if she went there. He
attacked his niece, Miss Lizzie Mount,
tho other day when she refused to
bring his wife to see him, choking her
very severely. It leaked out this after
noon that Dr. Johnston transferred all
his property to a relative during the
trial. He wanted to prevent his attor
neys from securing their fees by this
scheme but they caught him In tho
game before he had accomplished his
purpose. lie also wanted to beggar his
wife and at the same time try to pre
vent Mrs. George S. Henry, widow of
the man he killed, from securing any
thing In a civil suit for damages. He
has always been considered very hard
pay and this shrewd move to save him
self thousands of dollars, although un
expected, was not at all unusunl for
him to do. Mrs. Johnston has been
provided for, however, and It Issald the
murderer has very little wealth left,
although only a few months ago he
was worth $30,000. The doctor expect
ed to be acquitted and since his attor
neys failed to do so much for him, ho
feels that they have not done their
duty In merely saving his life. He is
ungrateful and exceedingly cunning,
causing much uneasiness for the sheriff
and those' who come In contact with
him. He will be taken to the peniten
tiary on Saturday or Monday. Mrs.
Henry has not yet decided whether or
not he will bring a civil suit for dam
ages, but her friends are urging her
to do so.
