The Saylor senate resolution, direct Don't let that cough hang on any longer; it may make you serious trouble and be come constitutional, and pos--sibly lead to pneumonia. You will find that ordinary cough specifics will not reach the seat of trouble; you must take something to build up and reinforce the body. Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil will usually do that when every other thing fails, at least that is the verdict of the people as well as the medi cal profession. It is particu larly true of children and all weak, delicate persons. ing a joint committee of the senate und house to confer with the governor relative to the construction of a new capltol which wan defeated In the house last week was reconsidered, At .1.30 the calendar of bills on third nnd llnal passage was taken up and the following passed: To authorize the judges of the courts of common please to appoint assessors In certain cases; relating to tho fur nishing of material In the const! notion of the new uipllol building thai all mutcilols shall be products of tliG United States and all persons employed In the erection of the building shall bo cltlsicns of tho United States.

VAN VALKRNBURQ CASli, Airost of Detective Cibsou Will Not Dclnvllic ICcc knuiug. Washington. March '). Air. IT. Hnr rlng, senior members of the detective firm of Ikirrlng ft -McSweeney, Is here today, lie Just came flom New Yoik, where C. A. (ilbson, one of their detec tives, is on trial for perjuiy. Air. Gib son is tlie man who made tlie complaint ngnlnsi Van Vnlkenberg in the now famous senatorial bribery case. Air. Hairing says that lie suspected from the first that there was n job in the prosecution of Gibson for tlie purpose of disqualifying him as a witness in the bribery cases, although It Is a fact that Gibson cuts very little figure in those enses. Gibson, snys Air. Uarring, made the coinplulnt on "Information and belief." "What Glbs-on knows about the Van Vnlkenburg case can be substantiated by a dozen other witnesses," says liar ring. "However, the Van Valkenburg people evidently didn't know this and consl'dered h!m an important witness. To whnt ends people who llnd them selves In a hole will go, cropped out yesterday during tlie trial of Gibson. When Spear and Carey, attorneys of Jersey City, took tlie stand in behalf ot Gibson, they testified that about four or live weeks ngo a detective mimed Perkins, of Pittsburg, and an other mnn, alleging to be Attorney liergner, of Ilnrrisburg. came to them and proposed that they should tnKO measures to furnish the proof that the said C. A. Gibson was unworthy of be lief and entirely unreliable. As they put it. they were told to get up som'o scheme to disqualify Glbsnn as a wit ness They at llrst set to work and empioyeu (.nosun on a lane case, ex pecting that If Gibson wns a man of such character as reported to him, he would mnke false reports to them and to this end they had him shadowed by other detectives. Nevertheless, Gibson, ns was testified to by Spear and Carey, reported nothing but actual facts, it appeared to us from the copies of the reports that came to our agency that something was wrong nbout the whole business and we suspected that Gibson was being made a tool in some black mailing scheme, our Mr. AlcSweenoy wrote to Gibson, after ho had been In tho case about two weeks to demand from his client a full statement ex plaining as to tlie aim object of ln wui-k. mill ii such explanation were not satisfactory to drou tlie case thon and there. The caso was dropped. It isn't quite clear to us yet through what agency the Shray divorce case in which Gibson was compelled to appear as u witness and which resulted In his ur rest, was drugged on to the court cal endar after t had been dead since IS!).",. There seems, however, to he no doubt now that the trial of this case was part and parcel of a scheme to ruin Gibson." Air. Harrlng says that a personal light has been made upon his agency ever since their connection with the Van Valkenburg case, but that they are now icady to turn tlie tables nml I every man Implicated In this scheme will have an opportunity of testing Jer sey justice. Air. Hairing had a long talk with Senator Penrose this morn ing about the libel suit against Van Valkenburg and It is generally under stood that the case Will In. vigoumsiy prosecuted. Air. Hairing left fur New York this ufteinoon. FIRRAIEN'S PENSIONS. Oovi'iunr Hustings Iteenive.s a Letlei ol'Aiipioviil riiim Mayor Warwick. llnrrlsburg, Pa., March 23.
