Senator Dald Martin, of Philadel

stronger law week than he evoi will
be again In this fight He jecelved m

satisfied he will not icceive that many
upon anv future ballot. The re-election
of Senator Quay Is absolutely Im
possible, unless he should jeceHe as
sistance fiom tho Democrats. I nni
now Hitlslled he has as little to expect
fiom that source as fiom the Republi

VAN VALKENBURO TALKS:
He Is Certain That Mr. Quay Can
not Bo Ro-Elected.
Harrlsburg, Jan. 22. D. A. in
Valkenberg, who is managing the anil
Quay campaign, Issued a statement to
night in which he sas tho senatorial
situation Is no longer complicated or
uncertain. Mr. Vnn Valkenbeig claims
Mr. Quay's strength was at high tldo
when ho received 113 vote's, which Is
Just fouiteen short ot a majority.
Against him ate 129 vote, S" are Demo
ciats and 52 anti-Quay ltepubllcnns.
"Tho Quay managers have abandoned
all hope of securing a slnglo ote from
the anti-Quay ranks, he adds. "Hut
while admitting that no Democrat will
vote directly for Quay at any stage of
the contest, they assert with an air
of mystery lathet than confidence, that
at the proper time enough Democrat
will bo found to supply the necessary
14 votes that Senator Quay must have
to elect him. The Quay machine Is
bankrupt In the matter of political pa
ttonage. All the uttempts of the Quay
people to cteate friction between the
Democrats and the nntl-Quayites luivo
slgnully failed. Senator Quay massed
all his strength to bieik the anti-Quay
lines last Wednesday and failed. Ho
has given oruets that every effort
might be made to break them next
Tuesday, but he will again fall. Sen
ator Quay may bo able to prolong the
deadlock, but ie-elcct himself United

GOVERNOR STONE
ON THE SITUATION
BELIEVES PENNSYLVANIA A
REPUBLICAN STATE.
Has No Fears as to tho Result of tho
Senatorial Contest A Few Words
on tho Persecution of Mr. Quay A
Bravo Soldier, Gallant and Victor
iousField Marahal of tho Repub
lican Party.
Ilnrrlsbuig, Jan. 22. Governor Stono
gave the following signed statement
this evening on the senatorial situa
tion: ' My opinion has not changed since I
expressed the belief, after the action
of the caucus making Colonel Quay,
the nominee ot the Republican party
for Cnlted States sen.itoi, that ho
would be ie-elected. Ills stippoiters
have not had a bieak In their lines
since that time and they hae made
gains. Pennsjlvniila Is a Republican
state, and unless there) aio semie ser
ious leai-ons why a legulnily nominated
candidate of the Republican paity in
the t tate should not be elected, it is
usual) v safe to predict that he will
win. Moie than two-thirds of the Re
publican membeis of thu general as
seinblv uie already publicly committed
to him. No one can honestly or fallly
questlein the regulaill of the nomina
tion nf e-natoi Quay. The caucus was
i"guliulv called and piopeily conduct
ed. Stalwart Republicans generally
throughout the commonwealth have
acci'pted him as the candidate of their
pott anil vi ant to see him elected.
"The conxpliac case brought ngalnst
him 111 the heat of the campaign has
been tulb entiluted and the political
chai.u tei of the pioceedlngs is thoi
oughly underrtood b.v the people The
aigument ot Attorney Watson befoie
the 'upreini- couit clearlv demonstiat
eel that theie was nothing In the bills
ol iudictmcni against Senator Quay,
nor In the testimony, showing him to
have vlolateel an livv. This Ins been
maele plain to all. as has the fact that
this piosecutluii was lnsplied and Insti
tuted foi the purpose of inlluenclng
votes ngalnst Senator Quay in his
canvass. It is not mv purpose or In
tention to quau el with any one who Is
oppoaed to Se-nator Quay. That Is his
light and pi l liege. Put I do say that
I believe that way down In tho hearts
of tho ni'.irb one half of a million Re
publicans ot Pennsylvania who voted
for me foi gove inor at the last election,
there Is a feeling of svmpathy for Sen
ator Quay iu the piesent contest. Ite
has be-en n biave soldier In the hour of
his counti's tilals, he has been u gal
lant, able am1 victoiious field marshal
of the Republican paity, not only hi
local and state campaigns, but In one
of the greatest and most bitterly
fought national contests ever wnged in
America! politics, to him, mme than
to any ono else as chairman jf the
Republican national committee did we
owe the election of General Benjamin
Hniiisnn to the piesldencv. Ah a mem
bet of the United States senate, he has
watcbfiill and zealously guareleel the
gieat Industtlil, manufacturing and
commciclal interests of our common

not only In materially aiding in tho
passage of the McKInley bill, but, with
the Democrats in contiol of congicss,
through his eloe lelatlons with his
colleagues on both sides of tho house,
and his statesmanlike course on the
floor of the senate, he saieel lYnnsvl
v aula's Industiies from niln by the
amonihi"mts he had Inserted In tho
Wilson bill for their special protection.
"There should bo no occasion for
concern among the friends of Senator
Quay on accocnt of the present deadlock
on the senatorship Public sentiment
hi his fav oi is making itself felt among
the membeis of the! legislature. If
Senator Quay's supporters stand film,
us I am convinced they will, his le

Instantly killed his aged mother anil

McCait left home eaily in the after
noon and leturned towards evening
veiy much under the Influence of

blow In the face. The slsfr left the
house In older to get a wurtant for
MeCnity's auest. She had gone but a
lew minutes when the intoxicated man
began to abue his mother and In his
drunken nenzy lie pulled a revolver
and Hied twice. The fltst shot entered
his mothers breast and the second
went clashing into her neck. He then
tinned the weapon on himself and tho
ball ploughed Its way along his skull
for two and a half lnhes and made an
elt over his right ee He then at
tempted to make his escape but after
teaching tho road ho fell weal? and

MURDER AT
PITTSTON
Peter Coimell Shot Down
by an Unknown
Polander.
RESULT OF A WEDDING
Tho Shooting Occurs In Front of tho
Victim's Homo, Whero a Number
of Poles Wore Making the Night
Hideous Officer Connoll Arrests
Ono of tho Gang, Who Is Thought
to Havo Been tho Person Who Did
the Shooting.
Special to the Scianton Tribune.
Plttson, Jan. 22. A, wanton murder
was committed tonight about 10 o'clock,
when a Polander, Tvhose name: cannot
be learned, shot and killed Peter Con
nell, near tho threshold of his home.
The facts aie mcagie, and everything
that could be usccttalned is about at
follows. Fp on Center street. In a por
tion ot the city known as Frogtown,
them weie two weddings among thn
Polanders, and, about the time above
stated, rout men who came fiom wherei
one of the festivities was In progress,
stopped In fiont of Mis. lngllsh'.s
home, a distance of one block, and
made conldeiable noise. This belli'?
continued for some time, Peter Connell,
who Is a bi other of Mrs. English, wha
has been sick for the past week, went
out and otdered them away, when on
of them diew a revolver and shot him
through the heart. When this hap
pened, the Polandtis made a rush from
the lclntty and went towards th
place where the wedding took place.
At this wilting, OlHcer Connell has
just anested one ot the paity, and fiom
the statement of Michael Hnsllsh, a
nephew of the dead man, and who was
a witness to the tenlble deed, It Is n.
certainty that the murdeier has been
captured, and has been taken to the
county jail. When captured he would
not state bis name, and had to be al
most diagged tho distance fiom wheie
the arrest was made. The nlppeis
were clasped upon his wilst and In the
hands of Officer Connell they were
twisted In aood shape, so that ho
shrieked with pain
When The Tilbunc teporter arrived
at the house-, shottly after the occui
rence, theie was a laige ciowd col
lected and thicats of lj aching weio
fieely made.
The deceased was 41 ears of age,
was single, and lived with his ilster.
He was well known in the city as well
as the rest of the family which com
prises one sister and four brothers. Tho
sad affair has cicated tho wildest ex
citement In the nelghboihood. Young
English who Is about l"i years was
communicative at flist; but when ho
was told to say nothing by some of his
ft lends, the lnteivlevv ended. He was a
witness to the murder and can Identify
the murderer. Chief Loftus was with
Officer Connell on the spot shortly af
terwards, and was scouring the vicinity
In hopes of rounding up the gang and
particularly the one who is the mui
