Coimlderntdo Speculation as to 'the New
Olllclats.
Copies of tho judgments of otilor granted,
by Judge lleelitel at Pottsville yesterday
were served noon Justices M. J. Lawlor aud
J. J. Cat-din last night. Justice Lawlor left
for llarrlsburg on an early train tills morn

and Justice Lawlor would follow tlie refpilre
ments of the law and act In tlielr otllclal
cftpaolties until the appointment of tlielr
successors, so as not to leave tho borough
without Justices In the meantime.
There Is considerable speculation as to who
will be the new Justices. Many maintain
that the Attorney General will decide that
those olected Inst February will rocelve the
'commission, but last night there developed a
strong belief that the, election would not be
upheld and that tho Governor will make ap
pointments until next Spring. Should this
course be taken it is said to be quite certain
that the appointees will be either T. T. Will
iams and C. W. Dougler, or T. T. Williams

Measures.
Special Herald correspondence.
Hafrlsburg. May 4. Notwithstanding
the frequent recesses and junkets of
the legislature, an effort will be made
to force final adjournment about the
middle of June. It is understood that
a resolution fixing June 1 an th data
of final adjournment will b Introduced
this week in the houe, and that the
senate will amend thla resolution ex
tending the time until June 20. It in
probable thut a compromise date will
be agreed upon, as the disposition of
work suffers In proportion to the rise,
of temperature. Heretofore the mem
bers during the long spring days have
sought the shelter of thi trees in Cap
itol park during proi debate, hut
the destruction of the capital and the
removal to Grace church will make
It necessary for the meinbers to stick
to their poBts, notwithstanding the
heat and discomforts that they are surd
to suffer. The. experience of other yearn
seems to have no effect In pushing the
work of the legislature during the win
ter months.
There has been a good deal of po
litical hacking and filling over the re
form bills, to which the Itepubllcffh
party Is pledged. At the opening of the
session It was announced thnt these
bills would be hurried to final passage,
but three monthB had passed away
beforo any serious consideration was
given them. Those who are lined up
as opponents of Senator Quay charge
that he was responsible for the failure
to redeem the party's pledges. He
came to Harrlsburg to confer with his
lieutenants In the senate and house,
and It was then given out, with more or
less show of authority, that certain
of these bills would be abandoned be
cause it was impossible to Induce the
Quay men In the legislature to yote
for them. Just when the antt-Quayltes.
were about to take advantage of the
situation and force the bills through
a conference pf all the Quay leaders
was called to consider what was best
to be done under the circumstances,
and it has been decided to push tho
bills tp final passage as rapidly as pos
sible, and while concetmions will be
necessary to meet the views of the
opponents of the radleal reform pro
posed it Is believed that the more im
portant measures will pass in prac
tically their original form.
Opposing tho Civil SorvlcH Illll.
There is much hostility among tho
practical politicians towards the civil
service bill, and the prospect now Is
that hjs measure will be so change
as to'lie civil "service In name only.
The vjolltical assessment bill will be
modified so as to not affect the giving
of contributions for legitimate cam
paign expenses, but will make arbi
trary levying and collection of assess
ments a misdemeanor. As to the poll
tax bill, there Is no opposition, because
it will relieve party organizations o(
the great burden of paying taxes dur
ing Important campaigns.
Since his return from the Grant mon
ument ceremonies at New York Gov
ernor Hastings has heartily endorsed
the proposition to furnish the National
Guard with a dress uniform. During;
recent years the soldiers of "Pennsyl
vania have won applause over and over
again on account of their line discipline
and practical efficiency In all that con
stitutes the good soldier, There has
been a disposition to compel on all oc
casions the wearing of a service uni
form, and the result has been dissatis
faction among the guardsmen. They
feel that they suffer by comparison
with troops of other states on dress
parade. During the Beaver administra
tion tne prepent governor was u.uju
tant general, and he was Instrumental
In having passed a hill appropriating
$75,000 for a dress uniform. Owing to
the failure of the revenue bill that year
It was necessary for Governor Beavor to
veto the bill, and nothing has since
been done officially In the way of sup
plying (i uniform for ceremonial oc
casions,
Tho Question or State ltovonues.
The question of revenue for the state
Is one that Is giving the financiers in
the legislature much serious concern.
Up to this time the only bill that has
been agreed upon, and which Is being
pushed along, Is the Elkln bill, taxing
direct inheritances over $G,000 at the
rate of 2 per cent. It is estimated by
the friends of this measure that It will
bring Into the treasury about $2,000,000,
out Representative Ward Bliss, of Del
aware county, contends that it will not
produce more than $600,000. He Is the
author of several revenue bills, among
them one to tax beer, and Insists that
t.he legislature will have to do some
thing more In the way of raising reve
nue before adjournment. There Is pro
pounced opposition to any suggestion
that beer be taxed, and there are those
who say that the objection Is the result
Of campaign deals with the liquor ele
ment, Whether that be true or not,
It is very evident that no liquor legta
lation of any Importance will et
through thla session. Under present
conditions at the state treasury the de
ticlency of revenue is at least $2,000,000,
and many worthy charities in the state
will have to be cut oft without a shill
ing unless more revenue Is provided
for this purpose.
A resolution has passed the legis
lature calling upon the governor to
designate May 15 as a legal holiday,
and he has agreed to do bo. This Is
the day on which the Washington
monument In Philadelphia will be un
veiled with imposing ceremonies.
More attention has been given to
politics and to factional differences at
this session ot the legislature than at
any previous sitting ior many years,
Starting with a bitter contest over
the election of a United States sena-
ator, the bitterness of factions haa in
creased rather than diminished, and
unless the pending harmony schemes
are successful the outlook for Henutill-

Potts ville, May 4. An immense throng
of people attended the sessions of court to
day and all corridors of the court house
were crowded from the early morning honr.
A great many of the attendants were wit
nesses called from north of the mountain to
appear as witnesses in several cases pf con
siderable importance from Shenandoah.
Die case of moat general interest up to-day
was that against Directors of the Poor Nerl
Dletrick and Fred. Ahrensfleld, who are
oharged with bribery. All the almshouse
employes and many of the ex-employes were
called beforo the Grand Jury aud several
cattle and coal dealers were also called In.
The result is not known yet.
Among the other prominent cases awaiting
tbo consideration of the Grand Jury Is that
of William Snyder, the Shenandoah under
taker and saloonkeeper, who is charged
by 0110 of his boarders, Matt.
Kaparowitz, ulth being responsible for the
death of Thomas Tomalonls. Snyder bos
been under $3,000 hail for several weeks and
the other defondaut is under $1,000 ball,
Tomalonls died at tlie Miners' hospital from
fracture of the sknll. About two weeks after
tho mau was injured his wife caused warrants
to be Issued fur tbo arrest of the two men
who are uuder bail.alleglug that her husband
told hor that he was beaten with a stove
raker by Snyder and Kaparowits in the
former's saloon. Subsequently, and after
her husband died, the woman refused
to talk about the case and refused
to go before the Coroner's jury at
Shenandoah. The Jury rendered an open
verdict, being unable to fix the responsibility
for tlie assault on any particular person, but
the DlHtrlct Attorney concluded to hold the
accused men for a hearing before the Orand
Jury.
Another important case awaiting the Grand
Jury's attention is that of Charles McIIalc,
of Shenandoah, held for the death of William
J. Parfltt, of Lost Creek No. 2. It is alleged
