The "General Deficiency" bill the last of the big, supply bills, passed the Senate Saturday, thus clearing the decks for adjournment: the credentials of W. A. Clark of Montana were read and placed on file and some small bills passed In the House the galleries were crowd ed and a dozen unimportant bills were passed, Saturday, and the House took a recess until 2 P. M. of Sunday, when it reconvened for an all night session the theory being that the session of Mar. 2 continued until noon of Mar. 4, for the minute Congress discovers that it is March 4 the presiding officer must de clare a sine-die adjournment. In par liamentary usage a day lasts from noon to noon, unless, perchance, the sittings should extend beyond the noon hoar. Then the day lasts as long as Congress chooses Twenty-four years ago, during the continuance of the disputed election Congress eat tor :»•"> calendar days with ont adjournment. The Congressiona l Record on Monday will read: "Wash ington, March 2 (March 4) 1901," show ing that, while the legislative day of March 2 was still in existence when all the events chronicled therein took place, the calendar calculation made the time March 4. Special trains bearing visitors began arriving early that morning, and before evening half a dozen Governors and the members of their staffs were in town. Some of tbs trains also brought military bodies. Gov. Roosevelt and family ar rived and went to the home of his sister Mrs. Commander Clowes. The Porto Rican battalion landed at Norfolk and reached Washington late Saturday night. The vast court of the Pension Build ing was decorated with flowers, plants and bunting and was ready for the In augural ball and all arrangements for the great parade on Monday w ere being completed. At 3 o'clock Monday morning Con gress had passed all the appropriation bills except the river and harbor and sundry civil bills. Conference reports npon them had been rejected in both House and Senate and both houses were still in session. In the Senate Mr. Carter, of Mon tana. began talking on the River and Harbor bill, and kept on talking till near noon, or till preparations for the Inaugural began. He talked for thirteen hours, and killed the bill. During the morning a vote of thanks was given Speaker Henderson to which he re sponded, and then the Hon.se adjourned, sine die and flocked over to the Senate chamber to see the Inaugural ceremonies the re. THE INAUGURATION. Before noon the Senate chamber was packed with Senators, Governors, Army and Navy officers, foreign Ambassa dors, etc., and the galleries with women of all the civilized nations of the earth, in flowing robes and glittering diamonds. Vice President Roosevelt entered and was sworn in by Senator Frye and then the President, who had been sitting in one of the small rooms, signing bills en tered and the procession, headed by the President and Chief Justice, formed and marched out npon the platform, where McKinley took the oath of office and made his address during a drenching rain. The day had opened bright and fair, but towards noon it beiran raining and rained the rest of the day. A crowd of about forty thousand people stood in the rain around the Capitol to see the President take the oatb from the Chief Justice and afterwards along Penn'a avenue to see the military pa rade. After making his address, McKinley aud Roosevelt entered a carriage and headed the procession of carriages and military organizations down Penn sylvania avenue, to the White House, when the President and his party en tered the stand erected there, aud re viewed the procession. That night everybody (who had a ticket) went to the great ball in the Pension building, there were some fire works at the Monument and the day was over. THE ADDRESS. Y "The feature of national significance in the parade and festivities of the day is the forecast of national policy and ex ecutive purpose given in the Inaugural address. The President's second in augural address is therefore the really important part of the occasion for the people at largo. President McKinley opened his second inangnral by con trasting the condition of the currency question four years ago with that of the present, and dwelling on the revival of Industry, tho improved stato of the revenues aud the marked reversal of all the features which characterized the finances and industry of tho Nation when his first term began. This is a legitimate cause for pride and congrat ulation. It constitutes the strength of the Administration and vas the factor which above all others determined the last election. Passing from this topic the Presi dent took np the other great public question, the relation of the United States with Cuba and the Philippines His refrence to the attitude of those op posing the Republican policy might have been fairer in the statement of their position: but this political fault will be generally overlooked in view of the repeated determination to make good the pledge with regard to Cuba and to gi%*e the Philippines "self-gov ernment as fast as they can be made ready for it." The surest way to dis arm opposition and to crown the policy of tho Administration with the unani mous public approval is to make good those words. The President is now clothed with power to carry oat these purposes. He has heretofore been lim ited by the theory that he was acting only as Cominander-in-Cbief in holding the posessions by military occupancy. But having now received uu extra I ordinary grant of power for the es | tablishment of government in the is j lands the promise* thus niaile can be i fulfilled. . j If President McKinley's second ad ' ministration carries out these purposes fnlly and successfully it will record even a greater triumph than the first. HAKItISBIIIO. The Ripper-Charter bill passed the House on third reading, last Thursday, by a vote of 106 to 93, onr members vot ing with the majority and Gov. Stone intimated he would sign it after the In auguration. In Pittsburg Senator Flinn and his friends v.-ere getting ready to fight the Inw i.i tha courts on the ground that it violated the Constitution; and on the other band the anti-Flinnites in the councils were fighting for a reduction of the city tax levy from 17 to 12 mills. In Allegheny Mayor Wyman was reported to have put iron bars over his office doors and was preparing to resist the execution of the law bv force. A Most Shainetul Record. Philadelphia Ledger. Every argument advanced during the recent campsign by those who opposed the election of Quay legislators, has been sustained by the logic of events. Mr. Quay's re-election to the United States Senate was antagonized not so much on personal grounds as because of the political machine whose fortunes were involved in his success. It was contended that Quayism meant bad government, excessive taxation, ex travagant appropriations, the multipli cation of useless offices, the promotion of jobs and the putting aside of all gen uine reforms. When the election re turns came in the people believed that they had triumphed over the ring; that the Senate was at least a tie, and that the House had a working majority of Independent Republicans and Demo crats. But the resources of the machine proved too powerful, and, by pressure and persuasion, a sufficient nnmber ot Anti-Qnavites was procured to give the ring organization control of both branches of the General Assembly. Since the election of Mr. Quay to the Senate not a legislative day has passed that has not witnessed an exhibition of the characteristic indifference of the machine to public opinion and popular interests. Despite the wishes of the judges and the sentiment of the com munity. a bill has been passed for an unnecessary court in Philadelphia. An other bill has passed that is even more vicious, depriving the dirtrict attorney of the right to stand aside jurors under certain circumstances. Then there is the 'ripper' act, passed yesterday, to give the Quayites control of Pittsburg and other cities. Many ob jectionable measures have been intro duced by members of the majority and their Democratic .allies. Tfie machine proposes to abolish the buildings com mission and turn the City hall over to Mayor Ashbridge. The commission is entitled to no sympathy whatever, and were the conditions other than they are the "Ledger" would cordiallv indorse the movement, but the present propo sition means from the frying pan into tire. Senator Stiles, one of the Quay Demociats, has offered . two very ob jectionable bills, one to dam the Dele ware river, which would incidentally impair the shad industry, and another to legalize race track gam hlim? in every county in Pennsj-lvania. Representa tive Voorhees advocates an amendment to the law relating to the licensing of detectives, which would enibaraf-s the Law and Order society in its efforts to close up disorderly resorts, many of ator Fox has a bill for a State Capitol commission to spend $0,000,000. Senator Muehlbronner wants SIO,OOO appropriat ed to give an unlimited number of favored workers in Philadelphia and Pittsburg jobs as inspectors of weights and measures Representative Mc- Glathorty has a little scheme for six ex aminers of engineers, at $1,200 per an num each, and the exaction of fees from applicants for license. Representative Beacom proposes to take the disposal of liquor license from the courts and entrust the same to excise boards. Senator Focht wants to in crease the evils of the existing ballot law by perpetuating the party column, denying to independent organizations the right of equality or representation, and forbidding non-partisan nominut ions. In addition to these there are bills requiring cities to buy up elect;-;- light plants before attempting munici pal lighting; to create new and unneces sary counties; to impose burdensome mercantile taxes; to oppress building associations and impair existing lation, and sundry measure-! to provide more places for tax-eaters. On Wednesday was witnessed the spectacle of the passage by the Senate of an unjustifiable bill to interfere with the courts in their oversight of trustees This scheme was vigorously objected to but as it had the machine stamp it was rnshed through, the spokesman content ing hims-lf by saying that if the courts were against the bill it was because they did not want th"ir priyileges cur tailed. On the same day the press re ported the passage by the House of fee bill, pretending to lop off emoluments forbidden by the con-citation, but itself clearly unconstitutional in form. In both branches at Earrisburg ther in only a semblance of debate. The minor ity makes an effort to discuss disrep utable bills OD passage, but is gauged wherever possible by calls for the pre vious question, and the majority votes according to the cue given by the machine leaders. Everything goes in ihe Senate that is vouched for by Grady or Scott, and no bill introduced by an anti-Qn iyite ha any show of passage, unless an in fluential member of the majority agrees to foster it. 11l the House the proceed ing is much the .-.ame. About the only machine measure to meet with a set back was that to muzzle the press Some of the Quayites are in the jnvs paper business themselves, and objected to being hoisted by their own petard. "This is a conservative statement of the record of the Pennsylvania Legis lature to date ou bills that itre political or quasi-political. Not one single measure in the interest of political re form has been suffered to leave the com mittee room with a favorable report. To clinch machine control and make it binding, the State has a Governor who is an adherent of Senator Quay. The moral of all this we leaye to the re flection of our readers. THE monumental gateway of the Paris Exposition with its surmounting statue has been sold for $2,000 to a deal er in scrap iron. A LARGE Milwaukee concern recently made a casting weighing 1 10, (KM) pounds, to serve as a bedplate for a blowing engine for the Carnegie Steel Company, Pittsburg, Pa. About 125,000 pounds of metal were jionred in the process of founding. i NEH;IIBORHOOD \OTKS. Judce Patton of Armstrong Co. granted 23 retail and 11 wholesale li censes. Onr Billy was among the lucky ones. The assessed valuation of Pittsburg is three-hundred millions. At midnight of last Thursday in the Ohio pea. at Columbus, R. H. Ferrel. the train robber and murderer, was electrlocnted. By reason of the case of scarlet fever in the woman's hall of Westminister College, ii has lteen thought by the col lege authorities, in order to avoid all danger of contagion, to anticipate the spring vacation, which would have be gun in about two weeks. Accordingly, college work was suspended until April 2 Struck by an express that was Hying along at the rate of 40 miles an hour, carried three squares on the cow-catcher and still living to the tale, was the ex perience ox Fred Barclay last Friday at Tarentum. The Blairsville express, due at Taren tum at 3:46, yesterday afternoon struck Barclay at the Feery Creek crossing. He was crossing the track and saw the express coming, but failed to gauge its speed anil did not clear the track in time. He was struck in the side and carried three sqnares before the train could l>e stopped. The engineer saw the accident and applied the brakes and at the end of the third square the train was slowed down. The engineer jumped from his cab. expecting to find Barclay dead, but to his surprise he fouud Barclay conscious arid trying his best to extricate him self. He was helped from his danger ous position and carried to the office of the company's surgeon where it was dis covered that six ribs were broken, his left aim broken and his hip crushed. He was taken to the West Penn hospital, Pittsbnrg. The Mayor and Council gave notice to the railroad company three months ago to have gates placed at the numerous crossings. While at Sharon last week Rev. H. G. Dodds. of this place, happened to l«? near when a horrible accident occnred. Five Italians were crossing a railroad bridge, located ih town, which is el closed on each side with heavy timbers, leaving a space about two feet wide on each side for pedestrians when an or dinary i«ix car is passing through. The Italians stepped to one side, and seven or eight cars passed through without doing any damage Then one of those large steel cars of a new pattern came along. It almost completely fillM the space between the side wall». of tho bridge and the Italians, not having presence of mind to drop down, were caught and ground to pulp. The l;ig steel car foiled and dragged them to the end of the bridge and dropped theui of the end a shapeless and bloody mass of flfsh and bones.—Punx'y Spirit. Petrol ia.

Editor- »Iji common with other residents of tho First Ward I have been looking patiently for the arrival of the trollies along; oar thoroughfare -Centre Avenne. It was. generally understood that it would be v.'ith us in the early spring. But we have had our hopes somewhat blighted by the announce meut that "the powers that be," of the Pittsbiurg & Western Tt. R. Co. had fin ally refused to allow the trolly company to cross their track*; thus absolutely dt priving them from rv aching our section oi : town. This, to say the least ol it, is very selfish, it is something that tlie people of this towr had no right to e I peer, from this company, which hail been so liberally treated by our people- Now it becomes our duty to inquire, not only "where are we at?" but what is our remedy? For it cannot be possi ble that the people of this town will quietly sit still and submit to this great wrong. It is not a question that affects one section of our town only. It a fleets all sections. The trolly people have in vested their money in this worthy en terprise. They hoped, nay expected, to reach all sections of our town; to ac commodate all the people. The tinth is the movements and success of this street railway system is of more i' an por ta nc- ■ to the "common people" th m the movements of the P. & W. R lilwav itself. Aud I take it for granted that flu tue. -a<- com '..hen ihe people will !,<» heard li-oni: at first. it seems to me. the Town Couucil ahuihl take sitcia acttwi as wonlu iuipress this corporation that it owes 1 tier tre.-itoieut to a (•onvmuni ty that has treated it so well It is said that the Supreme Court has lately rendered an opinion that leaves us at th< mercy of these R. R. corpora tions. I have not Been the case; but if that Court has done so, I doubt not it will, in due time, and on further reflec tion ieverse itself: if not the Legislature must give the people relief, it is urged of course tlnit such crossings are very dangerous. This is, tr. some extent, true, and is therefore a good reason why these franchises should be handled with great ere; but uot that they should be abandoned. 1' rom a recent magazine article I learned that in the last year there wetu over i.OOO deaths caused by R. R. acci dents more, it was averred, than hiul been killed in the Spanish war. This is astonishing! \ et. no one assumes that it would justify the abandonment of the use of railroads as a means of travel, etc. It does impress the fact that there ought to be more care. Unis.
