M'KINLEY TURNS QUAY DOWN, | | himself called on the president and | His Candidate For Public Printer Fails to Get the Place—Reported Row Between the Ex-Senator and His Managers—The Latter Say He Has No Longer Any Personal Influ- ence in the Legislature. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, Nov. 27.—The losses that the Quay machine has sustained from the list of those claimed as faith- ful to the fortunes of M. S. Quay grows daily larger. Last week two legisla- tors in Philadelphia, one of whom was claimed positively by the machine, William Reed, and another who had been placed by the Quayites on their list, came out in public interviews and declared that under no circumstances would they vote for Quay. In an in- terview on Wednesday Mr. Reed said: “I will not go into the Quay sena- torial caucus, nor will I under any circumstances vote for Quay for Uni- ted States senator.” A SAMPLE QUAY GAIN. In every published statement pre- tending to show Mr. Quay’s strength in the next legislature the name of William Reed was included as a ‘“reg- ular” who would go into the caucus and abide by its decision. Mr. Reed had voted against Quay in the last leg- islature, and his alleged conversion was everywhere heralded and sched- uled as “a Quay gain” of the ma- chine. Reed's case is a fair sample of other similar “gains” in Philadelphia. Representative Robert Linton was the other whom the Quay managers have been claiming as a convert who would go into the caucus and vote for ex-Senator Quay. Mr. Linton dispell- ed all such ideas on Saturday last, when he came out flatfooted and de- clared against the machine. In his in- terview he said: . “Under no circumstances will T vote for Quay for United States senator, nor will I go into the Quay caucus to be bound by its action in the senatorial contest. I will also vote against the Republican machine in the organiza- tion of the house, and with the anti- uay members. I am against Quay at 11 times and under all circumstances. “My name has been placed in the Quay column,” continued Mr. Linton, “but the men responsible for my name there have a purpose in putting it there, but they know I am opposed to returning Quay to the United States senate. I have always been opposed to his re-election, and voted against him on every ballot at the last ses- sion of the general assembly. I have not changed ray opinion of Quay since that time. 1 have suffered the loss of a few friends because I refuse to support the ‘old man,” but I will not under any circumstances be cnerced into vot- ing for him. PEOPLE AGAINST QUAY. “The district I represent is ths larg- est manufacturing district in the state. The majority of the people in the dis- trict are against Quay. I want to represent my constituency honestly, and I cannot do so if I vote for a man for United States senator whom I know they dislike. I am a poor man; work hard day in and day out for my family, but I propose to stand upon the result of my election and vote against Matthew Stanley Quay in the coming legislature as I did in the last ses- sion.” National Committeerman Guffey, who is the active head of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania, has sent cold chills down the backs of machine man- agers by declaring that the Democratic delegation to the next legislature in house and senate would stand firmly opposed to Quayism and the Quay ma- chine. The shock in this lay in the fact that all along the Quay managers have beeh figuring on getting valuable assistance from the Democrats. This declaration of Col. Guffey’s blasts their hopes. : For several days past there have been stories in circulation in Philadel- phia to the effect that Senator Quay and his lieutenants, Insurance Com- missioner Durham and Select Council- man McNichol, of that city, had had a serious falling out, the result of which was that Mr. Durham had told ex-Sen- ator Quay that the latter was without followers leaving them in the best of humor, and their threats to prevent any further use of ‘the organization’ by the ex-senator seem to indicate that they suspect he is arranging a play to leave them out in the cold.” ADMINISTRATION AGAINST QUAY. So far as the Quay influence at deliberate turning down of the Quay machine candidate for public printer. Quay’s candidate. All tie machine in- ernor Stone journeyed to Washington and made a personal plea to President McKinley in Brumm’s behalf. Quay urged his favorite for the place. With- in half an hour after ex-Senator Quay left the White House the announce- ment was made that Col. Meredith, a western man, had been appointed to the place. This ends the influence of the Quay machine at Washington. In closing this letter it will be in- teresting to its readers to know that by no possible hook or crook can MS Quay secure a majority of the next leg- islature on joint ballot. He is beyond spondent desires to call attention tothe following facts: Early in 1899, on Jan. 3 of that year, a few days before the legislature began balloting for United States senator, Mr. Quay made a state- ment which was published in the Phil- adelphia Inquirer of the following day, in which he said: “I shall win without a shadow of doubt.” In this letter of the following wcek in that year your correspondent made the unqualified statement that under no circumstances could Mr. Quay be elected, and the correspondent’s pre- diction was verified. On Tuesday last Mr. Quay, in an interview, said: “I expect to be elected United States senator by the legislature next Janu- ary on the first ballot.” In connection with this, or in oppo- sition to it, rather, your correspondent makes the confident prediction that Mr. Quay will not be elected on the first ballot or any other ballot at the next session of the legislature. Readers of these letters will do well to bear these statements in mind and mark the result! - ~~ BIG CALO DEAL. New York Syndicate Buys 15,000 Acres in Brothersvalley. The negotiations that have been un- der way for some time between our local agents and a wealthy Eastern syndi- cate for the sale of a big body of Broth- ersvalley township coal has terminated successfully. About fifteen thousand acres will be transferred tothe Eastern | parties as fast as the surveys can be | made and titles perfected. A corps of surveyors began work this week under | charge of Major M. P. Shaffer, with headquarters in Capt. HefHley’s oflice, Main street, and next week several other corps will be put to work. The purchase includes leases obtain- ed by S. P. Brubaker, G. F. Brubaker, Z. T. Kimmel, F. B. Collins and A. C. Floto in the territory from the Somerset and Jedford pike south to the Buffalo creek, and from the outcrop of B vein in the Allegheny, west to the outcrop of the same vein in the “Ridge.” Two drills are at work getting the condition of the veins, one on the Francis Knep- per farm, east of town, and one on the Henry Carver farm adjoining Roxbury. These drills are kept gcing day and night with three shifts of men. According to a representative of the purchasers, not less than one million dollars will be spent within the next one or two years for the sinking of shafts and making the preparations for mining the coal, the expenditures to begin in a very few months. All this means much to Berlin, as the town is situated in the heart of the vast purchase. The railroad will be brought up to the town level and extended to connect with the new line from Fair- hope. Berlin will be in tke center of the coal company’s operation and jump to several times its present population. In fact all will be realized that the Record has repeatedly claimed would, from time to time since it came into its present hands in 1892.

Rask, of Marine Corps, at His Pittsburg Head- quarters. The fact that so many men are enlist- { irg in the United Sates marine corps | when work is plentiful shows a desire | to enter the service from personal in- clination and not because of necessity, as so many believe. The Pittsburg of- fice, at 218 Rixth street, has now been established a little over six months,and for enlistment. Of that number 201 have been enlisted, making an average of 33 per month. What attracts men particularly to the marine corps is the sea service. Every American likes to travel, and, in the marines, this wish can be gratified. Service in the marines is very diversified. Usually about the first six months are spent at the bar- racks in some navy yard. Then a man goes to sea for a three years’ cruise. He is almost the exception who does not make a trip around the world and see all the principal naval ports. The pay is considered good, ranging from $13 to $44 per month, according to rank and length of service. Besides his pay, the marine is given clothing, food, bed and bedding, quarters and medical attend- ance. If a marine is so inclined, he can save nearly his entire pay. Lieut. O. H. Rask, who is in charge of the Pittsburg office, has also an office in Cleveland and another in Cincinnati. Speaking of his work as a recruiting officer, Lieut. Rask said: “Many pecu- liar phases of humanity are presented in a recruiting office. Really one is very often amused, sometimes vexed, sometimes instructed. The humorous, however, is more frequent. “‘I want to see the lieutenant, said a rather dirty young man the other day, very drunk and consequently very brave. 1Itold him I was the lieutenant. ‘Thash so? Well, lieutenant, IT am a brave man, I am, I want to fight for my country in China, the Philippines or any plash. I’m brave, not afraid of anything, d’ye understand? Brave man.’ “By this time he was hanging over my desk. ‘You are also very drunk. We do not enlist drunken men,’ I said. ‘Come back tomorrow, sober, and we will see about your case.’ ““Yesh, I know I'm drunk. Sober to- morrow all right, sober tomorrow.’ “Of course he has not been seen by us since. “ ‘Lieutenant, you have enlisted my boy,” said a middle-aged woman to me another morning. ‘You have enlisted him and he is not 21 years of age yet. I have seen my attorney about this and he told me to serve notice on you to deliver my son here in one month.” 1 explained that her son, at the time of enlistment, had stated he was of age, that he was well developed, that I be- lieved he was telling the truth and that furthermore he had taken an oath be- fore me that he was over 21 years of age. ‘He was not competent to take any oath, because he was not of age, and you must deliver him to me,’ she re- peated. ‘My attorney has advised me and I demand that you deliver my boy here to me in one month. “This certainly was a poser. I told her again that I would not heed the demand and that if her attorney was not satisfied he might come and see me. She changed her tactics. Instead of demands and attorneys she now took refuge to tears and a pitiful story of desertion on the part of her boy. 1 ex- plained to her the steps she might take and the probable results, and she went away. “Another day I received a communi- cation regarding a man I had enlisted, consisting of letters from a United States Senator, two Congressmen, a county sheriff, an ex-sheriff, a store- keeper, several citizens and the man’s wife. Her husband had run away and enlisted, leaving her with four small children. She said her husband had A GREAT MAN DEAD. Professor Joseph J. Stutzman Pass- es to His Reward. Professor Joseph J. Stutzman, Som- erset county’s first superintendent of public instruction, died in Somerset, last Thursday, at the home of Mr. Jonas M. Cook, his son-in-law. It is needless to say that the death of this grand old man brought sadness to the hearts of all who knew him, for to know him was to love him, to name him was to praise. The deceased was a truly great man, for as an educator, as a scholar, and as a generous-hearted, manly man he had few equals, and still fewer superiors. He did not gain fame on the gory fields of battle, nor in the marble halls of Congress; but his fame was won in the war against ignorance, superstition and all their attendant evils. He be- lieved that the pen was mightier than the sword, more powerful than the musket. and well did he demonstrate this by his works. “0, the orators voice isa mighty power As it echocs from shore t6 shore, And the fearless pen has more sway over men Than the murderous cannon’s roar.” Joseph J. Stutzman was indeed a re- markable and a useful man. To him the county of Somerset owes a debt of gratitude greater than the wealth of her forests, her thousands of acres of valuable minerals, her hundreds of well tilled farms, and her lowing herds upon her ten thousand hills. He was a man far in advance of his day and genera- tion, and under his early leadership in the educational advancement of Som- erset county, the clouds of ignorance and superstition began to roll away as mist before the rising sun. True it is that able educators in Som- erset county succeeded him and took up the work where old age in a meas- | ure compelled him to leave it, but “Un- cle Joe,” as he was affectionately called, never lost his interest in the work, for he was a student all his life and con- tinued to aid in the advancement of his fellow men, all that was in his pow- er, almost to the very brink of the grave. Ilis ideals were high, his zeal was untiring, his work was through. He was as firm as a rock, yet as gentle ag a child, and a kinder heart than his never throbbed in any man’s breast. While small in stature, he was tall in intellect, sun-crowned, his head ever above the mists of ignorance, super- stition and folly. Joseph J. Stutzman was the eldest son of Hon. Jost J. Stutzman, the ‘Grammar King,” who was famous as an educator before him, and whose title —*"*Grammar King”—was most worthily bestowed upon the son in later years. His youth and early manhood were largely spent here in Salisbury, and it was with much pride that the people of Salisbury always claimed him as their own dear “Uncle Joe.” He filled many positions of trust and responsi- bility during his long life of over four score years—in tl.e school room, in our State legislature, in the office of Super- intendent of Public Instruction and various other capacities. Professor Stutzman qualified himself for the legal profession in the office of the late Joshua F. Cox and was admit- ted to the bar in 1843. Subsequently he married a daughter of his preceptor, but she died within a year after the wedding. His second wife was Mrs. Amanda Fisher, nee Schell, and to them were born the following named children: Mrs. Jonas M. Cook, Mrs. Charles Brown, of Somerset, Mrs. Anna Boardman, of Trumausburg, N. Y., Mrs. Lou M. Hoye, of Garrett county, Md., Edward and William I. of Kansas City, Mo., Schell, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Clara Johnson, of Pineville: Ky. He is survived by one brother—Frank —of Somerset, and by to sisters, Mrs.T. F. Livengood, of Elizabeth, N. J., and Mrs. M. J. Beachy, of this place, and by his step son, Charles H. Fisher, of Som- erset. Of the last illness of the deceased, NO. 45. Journal, is a young man with consider- | able energy and more money than he | knows what todo with.

Such is the story current here, and it seems proba- ble.” Over the Telephone. Yesterday morning a lady ealled the Elk Lick Supply Company by tele- phone, and Clerk A. H. Shumaker an- swered the call. The following con- versation is said to have ensued : “Is that the Elk Lick Supply Compa- ny?” “Yap!” “Who's at the 'phone?” “Shumaker, the best looking clerk in the store!” “Is that so?—glad you told me.” “Say, Lonnie, have you got any chick- ens at the store?” “Bet yer life!” “Dressed chickens, are they?” “Well, no, they’re all undressed— naked as the naked truth.” Then a merry laugh was heard, and Shumaker went to the meat depart- ment and asked Nick Brandler to ex- plain what was meant by a “dressed chicken.” —————— Now is the time when croup and lung troubles prove rapidly fatal.

It was stated at that time that Mr. Quay had announced that he was convinced his henchmen had been fogling him in claiming enough members to force his re-election, as he had discovered that he could not pos- sibly control a majority of the mem- bers of the next legislature. Following this declaration Mr. Quay is reportedas having announced that he was going to retire from the contest as soon as he could find a reasonable way out. “From the position Mr. Durham is quoted as having taken, it is apparent that Mr, Quay (id not part with his B. & O. directorate increased to two, the other representative being Third Vice President 8. M. Prevost. In the person of Mr. Tweed, the Southern Pa- cificrailway obtains an important repre- sentative in B. & O. affairs. Of the old directors Mr. Harriman is not only a director in the Southérn Pacific board, but he is also chairman of the board of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany and president of the Oregon Short Line railroad. Mr. Hill is president of the Great Northern railroad. Thus five out of the twelve B. & O. directors are important officers of other promi- nent lines. No Marylanders are now left in the B. & O. Board, except the two representatives of the state, ex- Senator Arthur P. Gorman and Col. L. Vietor Baughman. It is understood that the presence of both Mr. Green and Mr. Prevost means that the two systems will work togeth- er in harmony, and that rate wars are practically things of the past, a home for you if you are disabled and a soldier's funeral if you die’ That man is happy now, for he is wearing the blue and not worrying about anything.
