C. E. Hilles, who will con duct a three weeks' evangelistic carn paign in Highspire, delivered his first sermon in the United Brethren Church last evening. The church was crowded. R. P. HABGOOD Candidate for Speaker of the House peared to be disturbing: ft good many Of the members elect unci they l'allod to pet much to assuage' their anxiety out. of the smiling Mr. Ambler or from any of tlie other candidates for tlie nomination. There were many whis pered conferences in the headquarter*, which, by tiie way, were interestingly located. Air. Baldwin was In the room whence the Alter light was directed two years ago and Mr. Wilson had the headquarters of Senator Penrose in bygone days. ' Mr. Ambler and Mr. Williams had rooms used by .John K. K. Scott when he made his light last session and Mr. Habg-tod was in a suite close to tho Commonwealth small j parlor where so many tilings have happened. One of the stories was that thei allies, as the. anti-Ambler men wi re culled, would issue a defiance and that they would Insist on the naming of a committee on committees to select the I>l;:cos. as was done la.st year to clip the wings of Speaker Alter and which ! was much appreciated by him, inci dentally. No.one seemed to want to father the story and the Ambler peo ple laughed, at it. Ais to Appropriations Another story was that the Alle j glien.v members, who were belligerent < lust night over Ambler, would be for I hi.ll provided they got the chairman | ships of appropriations, health and I sanitation and law and order. Lacka wanna also appeared with a boom for Fred C\ Ehrhardt. senior member of the Republican side and of the appro priations committee, for the appro priation chairmanship, and friends of E. R. Cox, of Philadelphia, were boom ing him. All these and many more were carried on the breenes. Some of the anti-local option men were inclined to be warlike because Ambler is a local optionipt like Dr. Brumbaugh, but they pulled in their horns this afternoon. Alter was a < local optlonfst and Williams is a pro nounced advocate of local option. State Chairman Crow, who got In ! last night, reasoned with Baldwin for I a time to-day and saw many other men of prominonce. Senator W. C. 1 Sproul. of Chester, was another promi nent figure.
