This doe not prevent the usual amount of Mulling being Indulged In by both sides, but as a matter of fact neither side Is giving away Its baud.

Senator Quay was twelve short of an election to-day, and thero were thirty-seven anti-Quay members proscnt. As was ex pected, there were no changes In the Toting. That Quayites aro considering an impoitant move is generally believed from utterances made by several of them. There Is an Im pression that tlio "old man" will make a supremo effort on Tuesday to break Into the ranks of the "insurgents," and If that falls plans will be laid to throw his strength to somo oue else probably Chris. Magee. The Pltttburg friends of Dalzell will bo here In force on Monday and take active charge of his boom. Senator Losch has been well placed on the committees, securing the chairmanship .of one of the most Important to his constituents that of Mines and Miuing. Senator Illggins is on the same committee. Losch's other committees are : Appropriations, Corpora tions, Legislative, Apportionment, Military Affairs, Municipal Affairs and New Counties and County Seats. Senator Higglus is on the following committees : Appropriations, Elections, Finance, New Counties and County Seats. At their own request, neither Dave Martin or Chris. Magee were given a chairmanship, although they aro placed on several import ant committees. Senators favoring the election of Quay got twenty-five of tho thirty-two chairmanships, tut the "antls" have no cause to kick, as viewed from a Quay standpoint. A bill was introduced in tho Senate on Wednesday by Sonator Losch that will be of interest to the people of Schuylkill county. It is an amendatory" act providing for the election and cemmissionlng of separato Jus tices of tho Peace in and from each of the wards Into which boroughs may bo divided. Many of the towns of that connty now elect but two Justices. It will bo remembered that Shenandoah aud Mahauoy City had a long legal battle over this question, which was finally decided In favor of tho borough Justices and against the election of a Justice for each of the five wards. Losch's bill aims to amend the present law and allow the people of boroughs to elect a Justice for each of the wards. The father of the bill will push the measuro with much energy and en deavor to secure its enactment as early as possible. Governor Stone's recall of the appoint ments mado by his predecessor does not in clude notary publics which have been hold up by the Senate. A number of these are from Schuylkill county, but it is now likely that they will be confirmed. Among the ones recalled are tho trusteos of the Miners' hospital at Fountain Springs. Governor Hastings, about three or four months ago, removed two or thrco of these trustees and appointed others in their places. And now Governor Stone will substitute other names for these appointed by Hastings. Thero is already a scramble for these plums, and from now on the leaders will be beseiged for endorsements.

LOOKS LIKE A MURDER CASE Evidences or Violence Found Upon the Remains-The Victim Was Placed In the Car at FMladelphla--The Body Dressed in Work lnetnen's clothes. Special toKVJdtlKO IlKRALD. Tamaqua, Jan. 21. A dreadful discovery was made at this placoat about eight o'eloek last night, as a freight train on the Philadel phia and Reading Railway was run upon a siding. A brakeman detected a foul odor about 11 refrigerator car and proceeded to mako an investigation. As he opened tho door of the car at tho top of tho ice chamber he made a horrifying discovery that racked bis nerves. Within the chamber was tho dead body of a man with tho limbs doubled up under the body, tho right side of the face rushed in, aud parts of the scalp torn from the left side of the head. The brakeman who made the discovery notified tho officials of the yard and an un dertaker was summoned. The latter made a careful examination of the remains, with the result that the conclusion of foul play was reached. The body must have been in the car three or four days. The woumts on tho remains were slightly bandaged. Physicians who also examined the body said the wounds were sufficient to cause death, and that the death was a sudden one, In any event, ex perts say, it would have been impossible for the victim to have crawled into the car after receiving the wounds, and evidence of a dreadful crime is almost overwhelming. The victim was evidently about 23 years of age, S feet aud 7 Inches tall, thick set, smooth faco, and was dressed as a workingman. The car in which the body was sent to this place camo from Philadelphia, and tho authorities are convinced that a murder was committed in that city and kept secret by the remarkable method of disposing of the remains as above stated. The Deputy Coroner has impauelled a jury and expects to hold an inquest. Meanwhile efforts are being made to trace the perpetra tors of tho crime. I he inquest may be delayed pending tbo results of the work by the Philadelphia police. REIFF WON. Jury Derides the Tills to I'air of Trotting Horses. The jury in the case of John S. Kelff against the Columbia Brewing Company, of town, gave a verdict at the I'ottaville court this morning In favor of Keiff. The case was tried on u feigned issue to determine the ownership to a pair of trotting horses, which were levied upon as the prop erty of Ueorge KelH, a cousin of the plaintiff. Tho history of tho case is that George Kelff, wbo lives iu Mt. Carmel, had dealings with the Columbia Browing Company and became indebted to that company in the sum of about $1,400. It was claimed that Ueorge Reiff was the owner of two trotting horses valued at about $1,000 and had turned them over to his cousin, John S. Kelff, either for safe keeping, or to avoid attachment by creditors. The latter took them to the fair grounds at Rocktown, near Ashland, whore they were seized by Detective J. J. Toole, at the instance of the Columbia Brewing Company, and as tbo property of Ueorge Belli. The horses were brought to this town and held under the attachment uu til John S. Reiff secured their releaso under bond. Tho latter then brought suit to re cover the horses, with tbo result as fixed .by the verdict this morning, the jury conclud' Ing that the horses were the property of John b. Uelu and, therefore, not subject to an attachment against George Belli. John F. Whalen and M. M. Burke. Esqs.. represented the Columbia Brewing Co., and Charles A. Snyder, Esq., was leading counsel tor tho plaintiff. There were many legal scraps during the trial, and every Inch of the case was contested. Mr. Snyder was highly complimented for the manner in which he handled tho case for his clients. White Goods and Embroideries With values as features. At R. F. Gill's. tf The Vulcan Works Still Idle.

Iu accordance with the party rains the con ferees elected at the Democratic primaries on Thursday will meet In the Council chamber this evening, at eight o'clock, for the purpose of naming candidates for High Constable and Borough Auditor. The conferees are ai fol lows : First ward Frauk Grady, P. J. Graham and Patrick Igo. Second ward Thomas Devlin, Martin Barrett and Oscar Betteridge. Third ward Johu Jennings, Edward Me- Nells aud Owen Bronnan. Fourth ward John P. Cardlu, M. J. Bren- nan aud Edward Cufl. Fifth ward Martin Laubach. Michael Cadden and Michael McAndrew. The hardest fight Is for High Constable and the political wires wcro kept hot last evening and to-day by friends of the re spective candidates. All but thrco candidates were forced out of tho contest as a result of the primaries. Thoso who still remain are I rank King, who is supported by tho First ward conferees; Peter Kollly. who has tho Socond and Third wards; and Michael Cuff. who elected conferrees iu the Fourth and Fifth wards. It Is generally believed that Rellly will win by securing the support of the First ward. Cuff's friends, however, dis puto this and aro confident of success. lor Borough Auditor thero aro thrco candi dates : M. G. Wurm, Martin F. Maher aud Thomas Couville. It is difficult to predict which will win, as the conferees wero elected ou the High Constableship. A new man may be selected. The Citizens Standing Commltteo will meet this evening at No. 8 South Jardin street for the purpose of receiving nominations and fees of candidates. All those who desire to be voted for at the primaries next Thursday must hand in their names to the commltteo not later than this eyouing, In accordance with the rules of tho party. Those who fall to do so cannot get their names on the ticket. It is only when some people run for office that they rcalizo what their fellow citlzous think of them. Councilman Englert is the banniest man In the Fourth ward to-day, say his friends. senator Marshall announced in the Senate that thero would be no padded pay rolls In the legislature this session. It is well. Police officers who fieurcd In Councllmanlo fights on Thursday are endeavoring to find their bearings. The announcement of the Countv Corneals- loners that party nominations for Justice of the Peace must be filed on or before Tuesday, January into, has caused considerable con sternation, and will result In many primaries being hastily called and at a time much earlier than originally intended. The Supreme Court, in deciding the suit growing out of the entanglemeut In the election of Justices in this town and Mahauoy City, de clared tne otuce or justice to be a state office, and the Baker ballot law requires that party nominations for state offices must be filed twenty-eight days before election. The Chief Burgess of Ashland lists tlO a month, and the Borough Solicitor $100. recorder Lmanuel Jenkvn. of Pottsville. arrived in town to-day, accompanied by his ciert, ueorge w. Keiper.

Mr. JmiWn is a candidate for re-election next fall before the Bepublican convention and the efficient manner In which he has conducted the ofllr eutitles him to another term. He is always iouno. at sis uest during office hours, and the business of tho Recorder's office was never In as excellent shape as it is to-day.

Not or Olio .HtH'tlon, Hut Hvury uutlou uTtliu Unltwl Stilton." New York. Jan. fl. Richard Croker, in an Interview laat night, aald: "The sixteen to one question la a dead laaue. Thin was proven conclu sively by the expression of the will of the people In ISM, wlien they elected Mr. McKlnley president of the United States. "Now the Democrats of the west and other Hecttons of the country are trying to foist-tills dead Issue upon the Demo cratic party and to make the old dead cry of "sixteen to one' the Democratic slogan In 1900. Why should we carry a dead weight m that campaign? The times of four years ago are past. To day the times are different, and the Is sues are not the same. "Speaking of this section of the coun try, 1 say that tf the sixteen to one question Is again brought before the people there will be felt again through out the nation the same distrust that prevailed In 1886. During the fall of that year, while the campaign was In progress, every man with a dollar of surplus, whether he was a millionaire or workingman, hoarded his savings: in fact, locked them up so securely that there was actually no money In cir culation. As a natural consequence, the times then became well nigh des pernte. Look hack at the winter of 186 and see what the mere rumor of sliver coinage at the ratio of sixteen to on did to this country. You could not raise money on any kind of Bfcurlty, and the result was the very hardest kind of hard times. "From the south and west there al ways comes the hue and cry against New York, because It Is the money cen ter of the United States. Hut when ever there is any great public Im provement to be made In any section of this country the first look for help Is toward abused New York They rush to our great city to raise the RICHARD CROKER. money. They come here for the means to build their railroads, to construct their water works, to erect the plants for gns service and bond their cities for any kind of Improvement. Thi-n. no matter how much benefit Is derived from this section of the country, there Is always the same howl against the j great city, because it Is the money center that very center without which I public improvement would be an Im possibility. "If this silver question comes again before the people, and Is made a fac tor In the national plntform, themoney ed men of the east will look for in vestment outside of this country, and the banks In other states In the Union will be unable to borrow money In the east. The result will be that the poor will be the greatest sufferers. "The present winter ot 1S98-99 has been free from the scenes of starvation and suffering that were so painfully characteristic- of the time when the financial strength of the country was threatened. Kveryhody seems to be making a living, and to be contented. The reason for this Is easily found. The men with money have loosened their purse strings, and money Is being plentifully spent for public Improve ments. Labor Is not Idle, and money is In circulation, because there Is a feeling of financial security. The free silver Issue Is merely a local Issue. In the sections where free silver will benefit the residents It Is but natural for them to declare for sixteen .to on?. However. In my opin ion, the money question should be set tled In congrnss. "Rut here in New York we must see to it that the position of our party on tne money question must meet the re quirements, not of any one section, but of every s.-Uin rf the Fulled States.
