Governor of Pennsylvania
automobile to be provided for him and
the inaugural party, including the inau
gural committee, will follow in other
automobiles. The retiring Governor will
leave at once for the Pennsylvania sta
tion and take the train to Chicago.
The inaugural party will traverse the
route of parade, escorted by the Gover
nor 's Troop, and on its arrival at the
grand stand will alight and await the
coming of the parade, which will start
at onee, presumably about 1.15, or
sooner, if possible, and will be reviewed
as it marches up Third street on the
way to Hamilton street.
Plans for To-morrow Evening
As the end of the procession passes
the reviewing stand Governor Brum
baugh, Lieutenant Governor McClain
and the inaugural party will proceed to
the Executive Mansion for luncheon.
The procession, after passing over
the route of parade, will be reviewed
in Market (square by General E. DoV.
Morrell. the Grand. Marshal, and staff.
At S o'clock in the evening Governor
Brumbaugh will hold a public reception
at the capitol, in the House caucus
room. The general public will be ad
mitted, going in the main entrance,
passing to the right to the caucus room
door, thence' past the receiving party
and out at the north door. Automo
biles bearing those who wish to attend
the reception will go to the south wing
j door and the occupants will alight and
tgo by that entrance to the House eau-
Details of State police will be sta
jtioned to keep the crowd in line and to
; preserve order, and no undue crowding
will be permitted. After the reception
Governor Brumbaugh will attend the
inaugural ball at the Chestnut street
hall, remaining for a short while to
greet those present. Then he will go
i to the Executive Mansion for the night.
The Plan in Oase of Rain
Cloudy and colder weather with a re
mote prospect of rain is the forecast for
' to-morrow. A storm appeared in Ala
| bama this morning and on the vagaries
of that storm depends the weather for
Inauguration Day in Harrisburg. Should
its eour«e be northeastward there will
be cloudy weather without rain, but
; should its direction be more nearly in a
straight line north rain here will re
sult.
A high pressure area to the West
has given the weather observers some
hope that the storm will be pushed out

DR. BRUMBAUGH TO NAME
HIS CABINET TO-NIGHT
The general opinion on Capitol Hill
this afternoon, based on what came
from Philadelphia, was that the next
Attorney General of Pennsylvania will
be Francis Shunk Brown, of Philadel
phia. Governor-elect Brumbaugh will
announce his Cabinet appointments
upon his arrival in this city to-night.
Dr. Brumbaugh will -have to turn
down 15 other applicants for the place,
as he is said to have a list of sixteen
attorneys, all of whom think they
coiuld safely care for the State's legal
affairs in the next four* years.
Gossip still is rife over the make-up
of the new Governor's Cabinet, aud no
body professes to be able to make the
guess as to its composition.
There does not seem to be anything
settled regarding the position of Sec
retary of the Commonwealth, except
that it is generally believed that Rob
ert McAfee, the present secretary, will
not be retained, and that same eastern
man, or somebody from the
Valley, will be taken. The political
quid nuncs don't seem to be able to
make a guess, and they are as much
at sea as the tyros.
It was said to-ilay that Alfred R.
Houck, of Lebanon, at present chief of
the Bureau of Statis'tics, applied for the
place, and that Samuel I. Spyker, of
Huntingdon, is looking longingly to
ward it. Spyker was chairman of the
Republican county committee and ar
ranged the Huntingdon receptions for
Dr. Brumbaugh.

When the Legislative Inaugural Com

vision of the Inaugural parade it placed
the Philadelphia Republican Club,
known as the McXichol Club, at the
head of the division, and the South
Philadelphia Republican Club, known as
the Vare Club, at the rear of the divis
ion. These will be the two largest and
most imposing civic clubs in line.
Congressman Vare, of Philadelphia,
was made marshal of the Civic Division
as an honor to the South Philadel
phians, and the committee thought it
had arrived at a very happy solution
of the question and that honors were
even. However, Congressman Vare does
not think so, and the old rivalry be
tween the two clubs cropped out to-dav
when he called up the committee and
protested ."gainst his club being placed
at the rear of the division.
He wanted another place. In his
mind the honor of being marshal does
not compensate for the fact that his
club has been placed at the rear of the
division. It was accordingly agreed
that the Congressman meet the inaugu
ral committee late tHL< afternoon, on
the arrival of the South Philadelphia
organization,' and endeavor to have a
rearrangement of the line. Vare wants

SLIT CASE FOR TENER FROM
ATTACHES OF HIS OFFICE
The attaches of the Executive De
partment gave Governor Tcuer a sur
prise this morning when they walked
into his private office in a body and
presented to him a handsome suit case
as a token of their esteem.
Go\ernor Tener was much surprised
when Executive Clerk James C. Dein
inger. in a neat speech, handed him the
gift. The Governor said that it was not
necessary for his intimates to give him
any thing to remember them by as he
should always hold them in happv re
membrance because of the pleasant re
lations he has had with them.
Later Quartermaster Sergeant Wil
liam L. Hicks, and Color Sergeant Leo
A. Luttringer, of Governor Toner's non
commissioned military staff, called and
presented him with the Governor's flag
carried on all occasions in the past four
years when the staff turned out with
the Governor. This presentation is a
pretty custom always observed as an
honor to the retiring Governor. Gov
ernor Tener was much impressed by
the graceful courtesr.

having been passed by the City Com
missioners. The regular Tuesday meet
ing of the City Commissioners has been
postponed until Wednesday.
Some of the downtown stores have

but the Memberships of the Various
Committees Will Hardly Be An

Both Senate and House will hold
short sessions to-night, the House
meeting at i> o'clock and the Senate
at a. It was expected that the pre
siding o&cers of both houses would be
ready to announce their committees,
but that will be impossible, and the
committees will hardly be ready before
Wednesday morning, according to what
the leaders say.
This delay is occasioned by the
scramble foi chairmanships. Two years
ago a Committee on l oinmittees ar
ranged for the committees, ootli as a
whole and as to chairmansnips. There
was a great deal of dissatisfaction in
the House, but no delay. This year
Speaker Ambler is selecting his commit
tees with the aid of the Republican
leaders in the House, subject to the
revision by Dr Brumbaugh, and, as a
matter of course, tthere is delay.
The Senate wrangle this year was
over the chairmanship of the Appropri
ations Committee, but that was eventu
ally settled by Senator Buckman, of

RABBI DIES INPULLMAN CAR
Adolph Guttmacher Stricken Last Night
Shortly After Passing Through
This City
Rabbi Adolph Guttmacher, of Balti
more, was stricken with apoplexy last
night on a Middle division train, short
ly after it pulled out of this city. His
body was found in the toilet of a' Pull
man car when the train was stopped
at Longfellow. The rabbi's wife and
several friends were passengers in the
same car, and they knew nothing of the
unfortunate occurrance until notified by
the conductor.
Haibbi Guttmacher, with his wife,
was en route from Baltimore to Chi
cago. At this city the minister walked
to the smoking compartment of the
Pullman car and that was the last seen
of him alive.
As the train was passing Longfellow,
about 5.25 o'clock, the porter of the
car endeavored to enter the toilet room,
but found that the door was blocked.
He notified Conductor W. VV. Stewart
and it was found that a man's body
was we iged against the door on the in
side.
The train was stopped and the win
dow into the toilet room was forced
open, the lifeless body of the rabbi be
ing found on the floor. He was an un
usually big man, weighing aJ>out 300
pounds, and this made it impossible to
opeu the door.

Uniontown, Pa., Jan. IS.—The First
National bank of Uniontown failed to
open its doors this morning aiid wait
ing customers were told that the board
of directors were in session and an an
nouncement would soon be made.
A large crowd gathered in front of
the bank, and a few minutes before
ncj(on a notice was posted on the door
announcing that the institution was
closed by order of the directors. This
action followed a long conference be
tween the directors, Bank RAainmcr
Gerald Smith and a representative of
the Comptroller of the Currency. Presi
dent Thompson said the bank would not
reopen until there was enough money
on the counter to pay ill depositors. "
The bank has a capital of SIOO,OOO
and in the last statement the surplus
was given as $1,000,000. Recently
the bank paid an extra dividend of 700
per cent., until which time it led the
roll of honor banks. President Thomp
son is one of the largest individual own
ers of coal lands in the country and it
was reported last week that *he was
about to close deals in coal lands
amounting to $18,000,000. Failure
of these transactions it was reported

VERDICTTONIGHT
Evening Session Likoly to Be Held If
Necessary to Prevent Trial Being

—Character of Accused Is Upheld
Robert F. Scott, the colored patrol
i man charged with murder growing out
iof the fatal shooting on August 1,
last, of Nathan Banks, colored, at 1119
Monroe street, this city, took the wit
ness stand this morning in his own be
half in a holdover session of criminal
court conducted by .ludge S. J. M.
'McCarrell, and declared emphatically
that he had no intention of shoot'ng
Banks and that his revolver was dis
charged by accident.
A dozen or more character witnesses,
mostly patrolmen and other persons
connected with the city police depart
ment, testified as to Scott's good repu
tation both as a policeman and a
civilian. Two dozen others, mostly
business men of the city, counsel for
the defense said, will be put on the
stand this afternoon. It was the gen
eral opinion in the Court >llouse that
a verdict will be rendered by late aft
ernoon or this evening.
It was said at noon that an evening
session of court will likely be held, if
necessary, to wind up the case to-day,
so that the judges and court attaches
may attend the inaugural ceremonies
to-morrow.
Counsel for the defendant, in opening
Scott's side of the case, asked the jury
to acquit their client on the ground
that the firing of the fatal shot was an
accident. As an excuse for drawing
the weapon, Scott said he did it "in
the excitement of the moment and also
in view of the fact that he knew
Banks to be a bad character—a lawless
eitizen of the Tenderloin."

KAISER'S TROOPS DRIVE
FRENCH FROM POSITIONS
AT POINT OF THE BAYONET
Berlin, Jan. 18, (by Wireless to Lon
don, o P. M.) —The German official
statement given out to-day refers to
artillery exchanges in France; says the
Germans were successful yesterday in
various eucounters of minor importance,
and declares the French havo not re
cently undertaken any direct attacks.
German forces occupied French posi
tions near La Boisselle, and in the
Argoune, and the Germans are still con
testing a French advance near Pont-
A-Motisson. The statement is as fol
lows:
''ln the neighborhood of Nieuport
yesterday there were artillery duels but
nothing else. No attacking movements
have been undertaken by the enemy in
the last few days. British mines havo
been washed ashore as several places on
the coast.
"At La Boisselle, northeast of Al
bert, our troops who again had estab
lished themselves in the church yard of
l«i Boisselle and in the hamlet to the
southwest, attacked the French with the
bayonet and drove them from their po
sitions. We took prisoner three officers
and 100 men. Several French trenches
have been captured in the Argonne for
est. The French detachments occupy
ing them were almost annihilated.
The French attack on our positions
to the northwest of Pont-a-Mousson,
against a hill which is two kilometres
(a mile and one-fifth) south of Veleey,
advanced as far as our trenches. This
fighting is still going on.
"In the Vosges and in Upper Alsace
a heavy snow storm and fogs have pre
vailed, interfering with the fighting.
"The situation in East Prussia has
undergone no change. In Northern Po
land the Russians attempted an advance
across a branch of the river Wkra,
near Radzanow, hut were repulsed.
Nothing of importance has transpired
in Polish Vistula."
FRENCH REPORT CERMAN
ATTACKS ARE REPULSED
NEAR AUTRECH BY ALLIES
Paris, Jan. IS, 2.4 1 P. M.—The
French official statement given out this
afternoon reiterates French successes
yesterday at various points along the
battle line, most of them artillery en
gagements. None of the action* seems
to have been cf great importance.
There was storm weather yesterday in
Flanders, as well r»s in the Vosges. The
statement follows:
"From the sea to the Oise there WHS
yesterday a violent storm, particularly
in Belgium The day saw artillerv
fighting at certain points. Near Aii
treeh, to the northeast of Vie-Sur-Aisne.
two German'attacks were repulsed. In
the sections of Soissons and Rhcims
there was no change.
"In the region of Perthes there was
very efficient marksmanship on the part
of our artillery on the positions of the
enemy.
•'ln Argonne the German attacks on
hill 263, to the west of Boureuilles,
brought no result. We took possession
of several German field works to tihe
northwest of Pont-A-Mousson, in the
only part of the forest of La T'rete
which is still iu the hands of the ene
my. We here later repulsed a counter
attack and maintained all our gains.
"In the Vosges there has been a
heavy fall of snow. The enemy bom
barded Thann, but without inflicting
serious damage.''
LATE WAR'IWS" SUMMARY
The German attack on the western
front has shifted northward from
Soissons and yesterday there was a se
vere encounter in the region of Albert.
To-day's official Berlin statement says
that the Germans, attacking with bay
onets, drove the allies from positions,
northeast of Albert. North of Soissons
region there is little activity. Several
French trenches in the Argonne axe
said to have been captured.
The official statement from Paris
disputes the German claim of victories
in the Argonne saying tnat the attacks
were repulsed. Several minor victories
for the allies are reported mostly in
artillery engagements.
The official observer attached to the
British army headquarters says in the
recent report from St. Omer, Prance,
that the British troops had advanced
one mile near La Babsee, capturing Ger
man positions.
In East Prussia, so far as the official
communications show there is no mark
ed change. At Berlin it is said that at

MAKE 6 ATTACKS
SATURDAY NIGHT
At Plock and Mlaw'a tho Germans Ap
pear to Be ou the Defensive, Hav
ing Been Slowly Pushed Back by
the Russians
Hetrogracl, Via London, Jan. 18,
5.05 A. M.—Recent developments in
the vicinity of Warsaw appear to indi
cate that the Germans are directing
their efforts to push the Russians oe
vond the east bank of the Vistula at
the junction of that river with tho
Pilicia.
It is the opinion of a high military
authority that, the Germans, with the
co-operation of the Austrians, are seek
ing to force their way through from tho
vicinity of the upper Nida, where re
cently hard fighting has been recorded.
Holding a line of trenches and fortifica
tions directly west of Warsaw, the Ger
man activity for the past fifty hours
has been around a big village between
Sochai/.ew and Bolimow, where six at
tacks in succession were made Satur
day night.
In the region of Plock and Mlawla
the Germans appear to be on the de
fensive. They Irive been slowly pushed
back by the Russians, who are reported
to be capturing new villages. Satur
day, it is said, the Russians crossed tho
river Skrwa, which outers the Vistula,
a few miles below P.jck.
Southward the Austrian* have forli
• tied along the river Dunajec and are be
sieging Tnrnow with heavy artillery.
Their aim is believed to be to push
eastward and relieve Przemysl.
With all Bukowina in the hands of
the Russians, only one puss, which is
strongly fortified, prevents an invasion
of Transylvania, Hungary.
The reorganization of the Austrian
army, through whieh an Austro-German
element predominates on the eastern
front, where formerly there was a large
percentage of Slavs, is said to have
worked a notable improvement in effi
ciency. The Austrian Slavs are report
ed to ha>e been sent to the French

period, counted by us, amount to 20,-
000 killed and about 17,860 prisoners.
He will now known from experience
that v together with the wounded his
losses are in proportion of 1 to 4 apart
from the number of sick and missing,
the grand total being 150,000 men.
Our total losses for the same period do
not amount to one-quarter of that num
ber."
