QUAY VOTES
DROPPING OFF
Legislators Claimed by Machine
Managers For the Ex-Sen-
ator Repudiate Him.

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. We have a vast
marketable natural product and the
market cannot get it without a benefit
and a great big benefit, to Berlin—

IN A RECRUITING OFFICE.
Lieut. 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.

be able to get up, and entered into an
agreement with the Journal man to
support Bryan, providing he would
keep out of this field. Such is the
story current here, and it seems proba-

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.”

nothing in politics just now except as
the chief beneficiary of the machine
controlled by Durham, Stone, Ash-
bridge, Penrose and Elkins, and that
he needs them much more than they
need him.
“This kind of talk from a man who
{8 recognized as close to Durham is the
first confirmation of a report that was
heard among politicians early last
week, when Mr. Quay came to Phila-
delphia and conferred with Insurance
Commissioner Durham,Governor Stone,
Attorney General Elkin and other
friends. 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. I might add that he was
pretty nearly right, but then, of course,
many people will not believe that.”’—
