Beyond tlio usual fake rumors that are served with tho breakfast at Ilarrlsburg these days, there U nothing back of any of the stories, and when the Joint con. veotion met at tho usual time there was uo visible signs of a break belog imminent. There was a good attendance,, only six pairs being announced. Senator Iligglns,of Schuyl kill, who Is 111 at tho hospital, still remains without a pair, thus giving Quay a half vote. Thu Joint legislative ballot number thir teen to-day resulted In Quay needing Just thirteen votes to secure bis election. The clerks auuounccd the result as follows: Quay, 108 votes; Jenks, 82; Dalzell. 15; scattering, 30; JtotaX. 241; necessary to a choice, 121, There Is no break In the deadlock j no sign of a break in tho deadlock ; no prophecy of a sign of a break in the deadlock. This is a repudlicative summary df tho Senatorial situation at noon to-day. It is stated that Senator Martin, speaking for tho anti-Quay Itepubltcaus; Israel W. Durham for the Quay ites, E. A. Van Valkenburg for tho Uuslness Men's League, and Chairman Gar man for the Democrats, agreed that there Is no Immediate prospect of the Senatorial dead lock being broken. This is also the ntl of nearly all the leaders who are on the ground. The Democrats hold the key to the situa tion. Who Found Them T II. M.

Whlte houso, Esq., Tax Collector Scanlan. After consultation between the lawyers for the bondsmen, the hearing was opened with ex-Town Clerk Watklns as the first witness. The line of examination, conducted by Mr. Wadllnger, was the Identification of entries made in the borough ledger of debits and credits of Scanlan's accounts for the years 1895. '00 and '07. Mr. Whalen objected to this line of examination ou the ground that the annual report of the Borough Auditors was the best evidence. On cross examina tion he asked the witness but one or two questions' which were unimportant. The next witness was Town Clerk Coakley and he was examined ou the same lines as the former witness, and Mr. Whalen again interposed his objections for the same rea sons. Mr. Whalen asked thn witueu but two questions, and Coakley was oxoused. Borough Treasurer Mullahey was Interro gated by Mr, Wadllnger on the Bame lines, and tho same objections were offered by Whalen, who refrained from cross-examination. Collector Scanlan testified as to payments made by him between January IB, 1890, and January 6, 1893, which he said made a total of about $24,000. He claimed that all these payments were made on the 1895 duplicate. The hearing was then adjourned until two o'clock. The License Court.

This deficit is explained by the fact that in 1897 the county borrowed $160,000, white in 1893 the loans amounted to $118,000. The revenue from taxes in 1693 for last year and preceding years fell short of tho receipts of 1897, due to the fact collectors were lato In receiving tuelr duplicates.
