The Injury Was Nut Dlacuvereil Until
Severn! Days JSlapsnd.
Junes Conway, 13-year-old sou of Mr.
Elian Conway, of Ellangowan, is lylug In a
critical condition at the Miners' hospital.
On Thursday, last, the boy was working on
the scraper line at the Ellangowan colliery
when a bolt flew out and struck lilm on the
back of the head. The blow caused the boy
seme pain, but uo seriousness was attached to
the Injury, and he continued going about, al
though he did not feel sufficiently well to
work.
Yesterday the boy was seiied with violent
spoil nf vomiting aud ho exhibited other
symptoms which bis mother mistook for
li.duuilous ofHcrip. She summoned a doctor,
who discovered a fracture on the hack of tho
buy's skull, and recommended Immcdlato
removal of tho patient to tho Minors hospital,
whii.h was done. Last night Dr. Diddle and
his assistants performed an operation. The
part of tho skull that pressed upon tho brain
wan removed. A considerable deposit of pus
was fouud, as well as a rupture of tho mem
brano of tho brain. Dr. Jiiddle stated to-day
that tho condition of tho boy was unfavorable
and that recovery was doubtful.

IS THE VOTE.
Senator Quay Still Needs Thirteen Votes
to Elect.
A BREAK IS EXPECTED TO-MORROW
Countless Rumors Are Afloat About Bring
ing the Deadlock to an End To-morrow
Surprises Looked For
This Week.
IlarrisburB, Jon. 31. The develop
ments of the last.' week have not ma
terially altered conditions in the con
test for the United States scnatorshlp.
The fact that despite the lavish ex
penditure of money on the part of the
opposition and the resorting to the
most disgraceful tactics by the Wan
amakerltei Senator Quay's forces have
MBiaJ intact U most cratifylni to
Ills friends. The senior senator has
not been here to give personal attention
to the direction of his canvass. He has
been down In Washington looking after
the Interests of his constituents. There
are a number of matters before the
appropriation committee demanding
his attention. He Is not the least con
cerned about the outcome of the fight.
He is satisfied that he will be re-elected
at the proper. time.
There were two hundred aud thirty-threo
votes recorded In the joint session at noou
to-day, and Senator Quay Is still thirteen
votes short of au election. Senator Quay re
ceived 101 votes, Jenks 81, D.ilzell 14, scatter
ing 34. There were no material changes
noted in the balloting to-Uy.
Notwithstanding the apparent confidence
of tho Quay people, tho "Insurgents" put
forth the claim that an effort will be made
to-morrow to hreak the deadlock by tho
friends of tho Beaver statesman, Countless
rumors are afloat, and the Souator's op
ponents are alert watching for a deal w'th
the Democrats. To counteract this it Is said
the anti Qaayltos wilt make au effort to pull
off enough of the Senator's supporters to
morrow to show that two can play at that
game. The claim has been made all along,
and not without reason, that fur every Dem
ocrat who goes to Quay tho antis can safoly
count ou a Quay man to flop over into his
place. It is confidently believed that to
morrow has much in store to bring about a
radical change In the complexion of the
right.
SOME POPULAR LEGISLATION.
There are many Indications that this
session of the legislature Is going to
be a memorable one In the charactei
of the legislation-' pressed for passage.
The Democrats are most conspicuous
In offering bills which are calculated
to give certain corporate Interests con
cern before the 'esslon is over. The
anti-trust bill. Introduced by Repre
sentative Hoy, of Clarion, provides
that all combinations between persons
or corporations with a view to lessen
ing full and free comoetltlon in the
sale and manufacture of articles, or
which tend to advance, reduce or con
trol th price or the cost to the con
sumer are declared to be against pnbllo
policy and to be Illegal and void. Any
corporation violating the provisions of
this act shall forfeit Its charter. Se
vere penalties are provided for those
who violate the provisions of the act.
Some of the largest business Interests
of th state which have been com
bining to reduce the number of em
ployes and to control prices will be
affected by this bill.
The railroad companies come In for
a full share of the new legislation pro
posed. They will find this a more dif
ficult house to handle than many of
previous legislatures. Wanamaker
made a severe attack on corporations
tn some of his speeches In the last cam
paign, and though his sincerity was
doubted by many, yet he planted the
seed which bears fruit in the present
agitation. The steam roads have
fought the proposition that the trolley
railroads shall be given power to carry
freight, express packages and mall. A
bill giving the trolleys this right has
been Introduced In the house. It is to
be pushed by those Interested in these
roads, as well as residents along the
lines who would like the conveniences
that would be thus afforded. Another
bill gives the trolley roads the right
of eminent domain, the same as the
steam roads. This, too, ts to be fought
by the steam roads. Under the pres
ent laws a property owner In a town
ship can block a trolley road that may
be projected through his property, and
there Is no redress. The proposed laws
will provide for a jury to assess the
amount of damage to be paid to the
property owner and will provide for the
road to go ahead without interference.
Another Interesting measure before
this legislature provides for the fencing
In of all railroad tracks by the cor
porations running the roads. While In
several counties of the state there are
special laws providing for this It ts
by no means general. A number of.
states in the Union require the rail
roads to fence In all their tracks. The
farmers are particularly Interested In
this bill for the protection It would af
ford their live stock. This measure is
framed to give the state a uniform
law providing for the fencing in of all
railroad tracks.
Tho subject of a revision of the tax
laws of the commonwealth has been
reopened. The Grangers have been
contending that the corporations have
not boon paying their proper share of
the expenses of the state government.
This sentiment is expressed- in a reso
lution offered by ItepresentatlveBrown,
which provides for the appointment of
a commission to make careful Inquiry
Into the matter and have a report pre
pared for submission to the legislature
not later than March 1 next, so that the
members may have uta upon which
they may frame a new law If found de
sirable. The raising of the tax rate on
corporations may be necessary to pro
cure the money necessary to finish the
new capltol building.
Members of the district school boards
will be interested In a bill which pro
vides for the appointment of a com
mission of which the state superin
tendent of publlo Instruction shall be
a member, to prepare a series of text
book to be used In the publlo schools
and the roldlers' orphans' schools.
They utu tu advertise for bids for the
printing of these books, giving the con
tract to the lowest bidders, andlthe
commissioners are to let the district
school boards have these books at cost
price. It will be unlawful to use any
other than these books In the publlo
schools It this bill becomes a law.

WISCONSIN'S NEXT SENATOR.
loiiir Deadlock Knded by the Selection
or Joseph V. QmtrloH.
Madison, Wis., Jan. 81. The sena
torial deadlock was broken last night.
Joseph V. Quarles, of Milwaukee, was
nominated In the Republican caucus to
succeed John L. Mitchell, whose term
expires on March 4. The names of
Messrs. Stephenson, Babcock, Cook and
Webb were withdrawn, and after a few
names had been called by Secretary
Ray Senator Hatton moved that the
nomination be made unanimous. This
was carried with a hurrah.
Joseph V. Quarles was born In Keno
sha, Wis,, BB years ago. He was grad
uated from the high school of Kenosha
at the age of 17. In 1862 he entered the
University of Michigan aa a freshman,
but left his studies during the rebel
lion and enlisted In the Thirty-ninth
Wisconsin Infantry, being made first
lieutenant of Company C. At the ex
piration of his service he returned to
the university and was graduated with
the class of 1866. He studied law and
was admitted to the .bar tn 18C3. Mr.
Quarles has been district attorney of
Kenosha county, mayor of Kenosha,
assemblyman and' senator. He prac
ticed law In Racine a number of years,
and removed to Milwaukee In 18S8, since
which time he has carried on a suc
cessful law practice.

board of trustees of the Miners' hos

hour later.
Dangerous Pavements.
When the new pavements were laid (n
front of Ferguson's theatre and the Fergu
son House last summer they were the sub
jects of considerable twi ration and favor
able comment. The niuter has demonstrated,
however, that they arwiimoDg the most dan
gerous in the town. When snow or sleet fall
upon the cement covering the pavements are
made so slippery that it is almost Impossible
to safely walk on them, even when the
greatest care Is exercised and the shoes are
covered with rubbers. Thli Is particularly
the case with regard to the pavement In front
of the First National Bank. This morning,
about nine o'clock, three women fell ou the
latter pavement within fifteen minutes, and
each of the women were provided with rub
bers. Fortunately none of them was In.
Jured. Some Improvement should be made
to make the pavements referred to reason,
ably safe.

TIIE "JOUBNAL" CtlANOES HANDS.
Every week for the past mouth or so a new
syndicate was reported as about to take
charge of the Miners' Journal. At one time
bvranton capitalists weve said to have entered
into negotations for tho purchase of
tho paper, and subsequently Congress
man Brumm and one or two politicians were
saiu to be longing for a "personal orean." and
this was followed last week by the rumor
mat a Philadelphia promoter bad raised sub
scriptions to tho amount of (10,000 for the
samo purpose. All these rumors, however,
were baseless; but it can be authoritative!?
stated that tho Journal has been sold by its
1'ieaeui owners, jonn . t Inney and Elias
Davis. The purchasers are it. O. Tarlnr and
H. C. Boyor, of Beading. The latter was
formerly of Shenandoah. They expect to
assume control to morrow. The paper will
continue to advocate Republican principles,
but will be anti-Quay. It is said Wana
maker's friends are furnishing part of the
cash. Mr. Boyer was here yesterday making
arrangements for the transfer.
ANOTHER BOOM TOB UOUCFk.

officials on the hill endorsing Paul W.
Houck, tho Shenandoah druggist, as a mem

Examiuers. It was signed by every official
at the court house, and will be forwarded to
Governor Stone. It is expected that the
appolutment will be made within the next
law days, and if Mr. Houck does not land a
wlnnor it will be no fault of his friends.
