HARBIBBUKG. •
At tha Session of the House last Fri
day morning the calendar of bills on
first and second reading was cleared.
Bill after bill was moved up without
any fuss and went to enlarge the second
and third reading calendars. Mr. Har
rison of Philadelphia made the motion
for adjournment. The vote on it showed
61 members present. Before the last
measure was acted upon there were less
than 50 members in the House. The
other 150 had run away This riled
Mr. Coray of Luzerne and he spoke as
follows;
•'Collectively we are the most distin
guished body of asses in the United
States. I do not think this adjourn
ment will hasten the final adjournment
of the Legislature, nor do I think it will
delay it. But the members of the Le
'gislature, and especially of the House
should appreciate the painful and mor
tifying situation in which they are
placed. It is a situation tnat the mem
bers should be thinking about.
"The members are being kept here'
continued Mr. Coray, "and prevented
from going to their homes, and the citi
zens of the State are mulcted daily of
$2,000. We are being kept here because
certain gentlemen of highly distinguish
ed position are using this Legislature
for their own political ends. We are
being played as pawns in the game of
these politicians. We have become the
laughing stock and the peg for ridicule
in the eyes of the people of the State.
Our position is humiliating and one of
contempt. We should not allow our
selves to be used as passive pawns in
politics."
Mr. Mayne of Lehigh wanted some
reason to be assigned for the adjourn
ment,but there was no response to his
question. On motion of Mr. Creasy of
Colomhio. tb« -motion to a<Jjotim WHS
amended so that original resolutions
an(Lmotions to recommit shall be the
rule next Wednesday evening and it
was then agreed to.
All the Democrats and anti-Quayites
present voted against adjournment.
There were only 61 members present on
the roll call.
NEW LAWS.
Gov. Stone, last Saturday, approved
the following among other bills passed
by the Legislature:
Providing for the establishment of
night schools for the manual training
of children over 12 years of age on pe
tition of the eloctors of school districts.
Empowering school boards and
borough Councils to acquire private
property for library purposes and pro
viding that public libraries shall be

which they are located.

and the war in the Philppines.
Fixing an additional penalty of SIOO

Providing for the mode of entering
judgment by the Court where a judg
ment of a Justice of the Peace is revers
ed on a certorari.
Establishing inter-State comity in the
matter of teacher's certificates etc. to
other States, authorizing the endorse
ment and validation of same in Pennsyl
vania.

sical or mental disabily and their re
tirement on half pay for the balance of
their unexpired terms and the filling of

and fourth and five for each subsequent
year.
Relative to the purchase of law libra
ries and authorizing one half of the fines
and forfeitures to be devoted to that pur
pose.
Cud of the Stock Flurry.
On Thursday last there was another
tremendous contest in the N. Y. Stock
Exchange for the control of the North
ern Pacific, and the stock was run up to
SIOOO a share. At the end of the day it
was announced that the Hill-Morgan
faction had won, though the other side
claimed the victory, and also that people
who bad sold stock that they did not
possess could settle at $l5O a share.
During the day there was a great
"slump" in all stocks, excepting the
Northern Pacific; the Standard Oil stock
dropping sl7l per share. Three and a
quarter million shares of stock changed
hands during the day.
The shares of N. P. are of the par
value of SIOO and when they went up to
SIOOO people from all over the country
country telephoned and wired to brokers
to sell for them, but the sales were not
made, as purchasers wanted the certifi- '
cates in hand.

ISoroiiglt Poor Accounts.
The Borough Auditors filed their re
port on the accounts of the Overseers
of the Poor for Butler, Monday and the
report shows that the district is still
about SI.OOO in debt and that at least a
one-half mill tax will have to be levied
to square accounts. There are out
standing warrants amounting tu
and credits amounting to $4.1(27. but
from the latter must l>e deducted out
standing warrants of which there is no
record, interest on borrowed money and
other items that will wipe out the
balance and leave a deficiency.
This year the auditors refused to
allow Treasurer J. Harvey Miller credit
for paying a warrant of $250 to H. H.
Goucher as their Attorney, for council
in connection with the appeal last year,
rr t: another warrant of $236.50 to Henry
Miller, which was a duplicate, giveu in
p.i\ meat of a number of smaller war
rants. Another item refused was the
payment of $137.74 interest, which the
report says was interest on duplicate
warrants which were established to l>e
individual loans made by Miller and for
which the district is not liable. The
salary of Treasurer Miller was reduced
sl4l, and that of Silas McClure, the
other member of the poor board, $132.50
Bad management and bad bookkeep
ing are assigned as the cause of the
mixed condition of the finances of th';
district.
Last year the auditors found Mr. Mil
ler in debt to the district about $1,600.
The deficiency was caused by the audit
ors refusing credit for certain duplicate
warrants and several items, including
salary and treasurer's commission for
handling the funds. An appeal was
taken and the couTt appointed an audit
or to restate the account* The account
as restated showed that Mr. Miller had
a credit of $99.95.
An Interesting Book
EDITOR CITIZEN:—During the Cen
tennial of our county last year there
turned up a little book, which has writ
ten upon its back the following, "Jacob
Mechling, Memorandum Book, for the
year 1804." It also has his accounts of
some matters for the years 1805-6-7 and
8. Mr. Mechling was elected to the
Legislature in 1805, being the second
man to represent our county there. He
was also continued there in 1806-7 and
8. The Legislature then met at the
city of Lancaster, and the following are
some of the items of his expenses, etc.,
when there.
Mr. Mechling it appears rode on
horseback and kept his horse there dur
ing the sessions, and his "Memorandum
BOOK, says as follows relative to the
horse. "Dec. 21, 1807 had my horse
with John Michael three weeks a keep
ing at two dollars per week." "March
28, 1808 paid John Michael for boarding
and horse keeping $65.58" "Put out
my horse to Mr. Miller on Tuesday, the
29th of Dec. 1807, and left him until the
18th of March. 1808, he charged $15.13
and paid boy for do 25 cts. paid in full.
One of the first duties of Mr. Mech
ling was to see to the appointing of the
first Justices of the County and then
the following are found.
"March 25, 1806, Lancaster, sent a
saddle bags by John Wilkinson of West
moreland county, to be left with Simon
Drum of Greensburg, the saddle bags
contained books and sundry clothes, etc."
"For my services as a Representative
for the year, warrant for $422.80."
"April 4, 1805, Lancaster, lent James
Buchanan five dollars, paid."
Considering this was the same James
Buchanan who afterwards became Pres
ident oT the Unined States, and who
then lived in Lancaster,makes this item
rather interesting.
On March 26, 1808, he says he "Rec d
of Wm. Findley, treasurer, $213.00 in
full for p*y as a member of the House
of Representatives, and milage."
Many more items of interest in this
account oook of the elder Jacob Mech
ling might be given. He was a careful,
correct and honest man and in the start
out of this county, and particularly of
this town, he was one of the first and
leading citizens. BUTLER.

represent their wares as "Tailor made'
"custom made" &c.. but they ask the
reeular prices of ready made and the
boast is understood. But when they
offer to take your measure, promise to
have the clothes made for you and
charge the tailors price, they impose
upon your credulity. Whether their
misrepresentation is wilful or negligent
the result to you is the same,
