Harrisburg Notes.
In the Ilou'e Thursday the Nickell bill
amending the Constitution to abolish
spring elections was defeated. The court
ry members were against it. The bill to
establish a State school directors' associa
tion to meet oco« a year and allowing mil
eage to the members was also killed.
The bill providing for a Sealer of
Weights wid Measures was passed on sec
ond reading, with the understanding tba
it would be amended on third reading to
confine its operations to the cities.
At a conference held by the Governor,
Lt. Govenor, Att'y General, State Treas
urer, the Speakers of the House and Chair
men ol the Appropriation Committees Fri
day night it was decided that there would
be no National Guard Encampment, this
year.
On Monday it was discovered that the
law of 1887 requires a state encampment
each year, so that scheme lor saving mon
ey to the state fell through.
Tht, possibility of saying money on the
guard having been knocked out the grang
ers of the bouse are moving against the
proposition to cut down the school appro
priation $1,000,000. Monday night Mr.
Bliss, of Chester, introduced a resolution
asking State Treasurer Jackson to answer
a few questions. It reads as follows:
"First, the amount of cash now in the
treasury, exclusive of t!.e sinking fund,
and how much has N>en appropriated?
"Second, th* amount subject to draft OB
account of appropriations made which will
probably be turned back because of the
failure to draw appropriation^
"Third, the estimated receipt* for the
next two years from all preaent source* of
revenues?
"Fourth, the amount of money that
could be rained by a tax of 16 cent* per
barrel on beer brewed in the utateT"
Under the rules of the hoo»e the reso
lution will have to lie over for a day.
The beer measure *poken of is the Coch
rane bill, which ii now in the way* and
means committee. The granger* think it
would produce an annual revenue of SI,OOO
- Many of the members are denirou»
of doing even better by raising the tax to
25 cents. The brewer* shipping beer into
Pennsylvania from other state* cannot be
gotten at by this bill, and the grangers
now have lawyer* trying to figure out, a
way to make the strangers pay the tax.
Mr. Mia* i* aided by such strong men in
the bou*e a* Nile*, Merrick and Moore.
The fight promise* to be a bitler one.
These gentlemen contend the state ha*
plenty of money. Tbey say there U lot*
of coin laid up in bank*, bnt for political
reason s the administration d'es not want
to draw this out. If the beer bill passes
the (armors will agree to remove the one
mill tax on manufacturer* and building
and loan association* provided for in the
revenue measure. Thi* would have
brought In $400,000 a year, but a hard ele
ment to battle with would be gotten out
of tbe way. The granger* will al*o try to
pa** the McQuown bill making it impos
sible to change tbe text book* oftener than
five years.
Mr. Smith ol Bedford 1* greatly worked
up over the cut in the school appropria
tion. He come* to the front with a propo
rtion to l*sue several million dollars'
worth of bond* if nece*sary to get the
money for educational purpose* Tbe gen
tleman claim* the bonded indebtedness of
Pennsylvania is only $6,000,000 now aud it
ha* been op to $20,000,00) when the *tate
wa* in poorer clrcnmstanoe* than at
present
Speaker Walton's bill to retire judge* on
full pay after nerving two continou* term*,
or 30 years, and having attained the age
of 70 year*, passed tbe House finally by a
rote of 107 or four more than wa* naces
sary, Tuesday.
End of Tbe Eastern War.
The London Time* had a dispatch from
Shanghai, Monday, saying that a treaty
ef peace between Japan and China wa.i
signed at Sblmonoseki. The dispatch i*
is based on a telegram from the son-in-law
of Li Hung Chang, who ha* been at SMm
onosekl assisting in tbe negotitions.
Tbe following are the terms of the con
vention signed to-day by Li flung Chang
on the part of China and Count Ito and
Viscount Matsn on the part of Japm.

$100,000,000.

Gov. McKiniey of Ohio, returned to
Columbus, last Saturday, alter a visit io
Connecticut and Rhode Island, wheri lie
seem' to lie very pouular. His reception
ut Hartford, wan acuxpteil at Washington,
a* plainly nhowiug two things -that tbe
McKiniey presidential boom b»s a distinct
status in New Kn*Und and ibat the livid
is to be diligently cultivated. The Buck
eye lavoiito was hailed at the banquet
table as the next president of the United
States, and the sentiment, according to
the reports, wa* greeted with loud and
prolonged applause. The response w»i in
tbe governor's best style and tbe principle
of protection dwelt upon with chararter
istic earnest new, it was a McKiniey night
of ternarkable hllariousness and encourage
ment A visit to Massachusetts was to
have followed, but this was cancelled ou
account ol the governor's fatigue. He has
not as yet entirely recovered form tbe grip,
and returned home for a rest. The Bay
sUte will see him later, and will give him,
his friends *ay, a rousing sssurance of it*
distinguished consideration.
The latent dirk |hors« presidential can
didate, bail* from I'tnnsylvama and i* fa
miliarly known as John Wanamakcr. Ac
cording to the *tory, as print- d, Mr. W»i>a
maker wa* to have been President liarri
ou'* legaloe at Minneapolis in lill/2 it it he-
came apparent that the Indianian could not
scctre a renomination. Now the ex-post
msster-general is to be entered in the race
next year with a view to receiving the sup
port of Mr. Harrison and his friends when
the proper time arrives. In ca-eMr. Wan
amaker fails in his ambition he is to be
taken care of under the following plan:
Gov. Hastings and John Wanamaker have
also formed an offensive and defensive po
litical alliance, having for iu object the
overthrow of the supremacy heretofore ex
ercised by senators Cameron and Quay in
Pennsylvania politics. If successful in the
accomplishment of this purpose Mr. Wana
maker would succeed Mr. Cameron in the
United States Senate, and Gov. Hastings
would be pushed to the front and occupy
Mr. Quay's seat in 1899 Politicians in
Washington do not regard the latter pro
position as too unreasonable or chimerical.
Tney argue that Senator Cameron's open
and active advocacy of free silver cannot
lie sustained at the present time in Penn
sylvania, and that his defeat is a foregone
conclusion. They say Senator Quay will
exercise all of his influence and prestige to
bolster up his colleague, but the weight is
too great and he will be dragged down in
the name political disaster which will over
take Mr. Cameron.

The Water Works Bill.
I (Extract from a speech by Mr. Douthett
! on the bill now pending in the House.)
Mr. DOUTHETT. Mr. Speaker, the
bill under consideration is one that serious
ly affects the boroughs of the Common
wealth. I don't want to take your time at
length, but am compelled this evening to
give this bill more than passing notice
We oppose this bill first, on general
principles It is wrong in principle, and it
would be a vicious precedent to incorpo
rate into our statute law. It discriminates
in favor of one class 01 corporations, con
ferring on them special privileges, which
are not accorde-i to other corporations or
individnals. I: is in short special legisla
tion, or class legislation. No other class
of corporations have claimed or been ac
corded such special favors or rights as this
bill conlers on water companies. It is
suspicious, and taking its language in the
first section,is seemingly designed to confer
on municipalities rights they did not have
before and certain power* they did net
have, but in really eives nothing they did
not practically have before, and in the
second section it imposes upon them duties
and limitations or restrictions never before
imposed. And this in reeard to matters
of the most vital interest and importance
to their people. Wtiat ean be of more im
portance to people ol these municipalities
than an ample supply of pure water? Yet
no matter how insufficient the supply, or
how bad the quality, a municipality caunot
take any steps to furnish its people with a
sufficiency of proper quality without first
buying any plant, however poor or worth
less, a corporation may have established
within its limit*. The p>ant may be prac
t'cally worthless to the municipality, and
when bought may hare to be abandoned,
of no practical use or benefit, yet the cor
poration must be paid, not the value of the
plant to the municipality, but whatever
sum the corporation may be able to show
was the consequential loss to it, conse
quential damage is what the corporations
seek to obtain by this bill, and this opens
the door to wild guessing, for any man
wio has bad any experience in matters of
this kind knows thai there is nothing in
which men are so wild in their opinions
and estimates as when they come to speak
of consequential damages.
But why should a municipality be com
pelled to buy a water plantf Why should
it not be free to say whether it needs the
plautf Whether it is such as its people
need, or as will properly serve their pur
pose* In no other case is it compelled to
act thns, individuals are not compelled to
act thus. Xo gucn unreasonable restric
tions are laid on the action of municipali
ties or individuals in other cases. The ar
gument ol the water companies is that
they were induced to i;o into the business,
to organize their companies and invest
their funds, when municipalities were poor
and unable to establish such works, and
they invested for the benefit of the people
of toe municipalities, and with the expec
tation thit they would be remunerated by
the incomes wtieu the boroughs or citie*
increased iu -a-i and their works became
profj table. Tois is uiere allegation, but is
untrue ia fact as put. It is true they in
vested theii Itinds. and in some cases wb->n
tne municipality was small and poor, oul
it was with t>>t! expectation the- would be
reimourc-e lby this business, when it in
creased, but it is untrue that they ever
dreamed even at that tune that the muni
cipality would, as such, reimburse them
On the contrary their charters were ob
taiued and corporations for.ned because
the promoter* thought they sa<v a good
chance of making .noney iu ihe nnual and
ordinary curse ot such bu-iness, or be
cause the) o*-ne l real eitare in the muni
cipality that would be largely enhanced
in value, or bicause in some other w«y
ibey exp— lod to be fully recompensed.
Not one of horn believed or for a moment
thought that the municipalities w..ubl
reimburse them in any case or under an>
oircums mice* They could not have sap
posed so, tor tbere was no law on the
sta'Ute Imok authorizing such a thing and
there was no reason to suppose such a
tbinff could he—that the people could be
taxed to compensate th-m for any outlay
for their plant, much le«s for any memly
speculative or cousequeutial damages th«>
might ibiuk they sustained.
Theg« corporations enter on the i>u->in« s
jast as an) I mines* man enters into auj
business, or as any other corporation, Mian
ofactarilig, gas, electric ligtt, street car
or other corporation, with their eyes open,
with full knowledge of the laws us tiiey
move and of the rights and privilege* ot
their corporations under those laws, will
ing to assume the rinks, knowing that their
business kas liable to the vicissitude*, the
con tin e.icies ■nil uncertanties attending
all busiiiens undertakings. Why then
should tney be mode an exception? A man
starts a uusiness, get* it established, an
other wan ntarts a similar bosinemt in com
petition, be may have belter facilities,
more capital or other advantages and ttie

THOMAS WILSON MARTIN.
Mr. Martin was born May 2nd, 1833,
and died March 16th, 1895; aged 61 years
10 months 14 days. The beginning of his
sickness took place about mid-winter,
when he contracted a very severe ccld,
which developed into an almost constant
cough and lung trouble. At times he
seemed to rally aud give the most sanguine
h >pes to his friends and neignbors that he
would recover, but this most generally
wan iollowed a more severe attack wtjicfi
caused the anxiety of his fnends and
neighbors to rise to the highest pilch.
From better to worse he continued for two
months, wfien about one day before his
death he took a decided change tor the
worse, and although everything possible
was done bjr bis loving brothers aud sis
ters, friends and family physician, nothing
seemed to avail anything for him and he
passed quietly away near the dawning of
the day March 16th. Do we not believe
and hope tnat it was a dawning of a new
day, infinitely better, brighter and
happier tnau any day that he ever ppent
tiere below.
Mr. Martin lived and died in the immedi
ate community in which he was born,
being the oldest of a large family ana nev
er married. It was his privilege to be
with that family until it was broken up
by death and marriage, then he weut to
hiii brother, Win Martin's, and made his
nome there until toe tune of his deatn
tie wan a consistent member id the
Bro wnsdale U. P. Ohurcn and nothing bu'
sickness deprived him <>l Lhe privileges ol
the public nanctuary. In his death the
church lias lost an houorod member; one
who held the interest of his church at
heart.
Our entire neighborhood rises up to tes
tily of the kiud disposition t.f our deparle i
brother. I verily believe I never met any
one more in touch witu the Golden rule
(Do unto Others as you would have Oth
ers do uuto you ) than he. No one ever
ivoat to him for beli> bat what he receiv
ed it. if it was ia his power to give Ux

Tie funeral services wore held in the
Brownsdalo U. P. Church H'fV Oilfillan,
his pastor for the past year was assisted
by Rev* R P McOlestor, of Butler, a
former pastor of his. Both spoke in high
est term* in regard to the departed friend
and brother. The church was filled with
Iriends and neighbors who came that they
might pay their last respects to the one
they had known to love so well.
Now to thes.i brothers, «:s»ers and
friends who so Keenly felt ibe lons of this
dep tried brother, l-i ine say. that God
stands in the midst of all these sad Provi
dences and bereavements ready and will
ing to bind U|> the broken heart and stop
the running tears, if we but trust him we
can live in the happy anticipation ol some
day meeting this brother in heaven.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
J A "Westmoreland Co. farmer was released j
from the Western Penitentary last week,
i under remarkable circumstances. Some
years before he discovered that his wife
wa.-. engaged in an intrigue with another
man; he accused her of it and they lived
unhappy; and she, to get rid of him, fore- 1
ed their two daughters to accuse their
father ot an unnatural crime. He was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary, but
the doubt as to his guilt led his relatives
to engage the services of a detective who, (
alter working at the case lor nearly two
years, got the oldest girl away from her
mother and secured a complete confession
from her. The girl said thai her mother
bad tortured her frightfully to deceive the
doctors who testified in the case Her
mother also had threat ened to send her to
prison if she did not appear aghinst her
father. After she had given false evidence
she was forced to remain silent because
her mother had made her believe that
when a person swore ialsely and got an
other in prison and it was found out the
innocent person was released and tbe per
jurer put in his cell to serve out the rest
of his term. Her brother and sister con
firmed her story, and their father was re
leased.
Nearly every town and township in
■Westmorland county was represented at
the mass meeting in Greensburg, Thurs
day, called to protest against the creation
of Monongubela county. There were
about 500 men present. The president
first made a vigorous speech against the
Cilbertson bill. He was followed by pro
tests from Paul H. Gaither, D. S. Atkin
son. James S. Moorbead, John P. Went
ling, James McClure, Henry Shoemaker,
Thompson McClain, Amos Front, John
Betty and E. F. Houseman. Mr. Gaither,
in his speech, severely arraigned the bill,
claiming that tbe creation of the new
county woulJ be unconstitutional. Res
olutions were adopted and will be taken
to Harrisburg.
Rncks connty's proposed ><knnk farm,
which will be established near Cbalfont,
is rapidly nearing completion, aud con
siderable enrosity is manifested in the
unique enterprise by the farmers in thu
vicinity. The proprietors are nearly ready
to stock their tarm, and it is said that
BOtne of the neighbors are already invest
ing in large quantities of toilet water, and
even nose protectors. Some of the prop
erty owners Dear by seem to think Ihti
ihe new enterprise will depreciate the val
ue id their properties, but this remain* D>
be proven This will bo tbe first ukuol
farm established in Pennsylvania.
At Scottdale last Thursday an Italian
laborer named Orifino, committed naicide
by throwing himself in front of a moving
freight traiD. lie incurred ihe cimiiy ol
tbe Mafia Society in New Orleans, year
ago, and had been hounded by them al'
over ihe civilized world until life l>ecam<
a burden.
