saying that he Is ready to givo another
detail a trial. Ho refuses to talk of his i
cape and smiles when questioned as to how
he got from the wiudow of the moving train.
It is tumoral that Deem did not go through
the window at all, but got off at a water tank
after the engine had been replenished and bo
furo It had acquired much speed. Tho rumor
also has it that he boltod through an open
door. Deem, it is claimed, Is more
determined than ovor not to go back
to Camp McKenzIo. and it Is said
that on Tuesday afternoon, last, Louis
Werttor, tho special offlcer at Kaler's opera
house, had a specimen of his grit. Werner
entered a 5th ward shop iu Mahanoy City
when Deem was seated behind the stove. As
Werner made his appearance Deem jumped
up, drew a revolver, and backed towards the
door. After scrutinizing tho officer Deem
apoligized fof his action and told Werner ho
feared at first that the otticor had visited tho
shop to arrest him,

Harrisburg, Feb. 2. Tho fourteenth Joint
ballot of the two branches of the Legislature
to-day resulted with Senator Quay twelve
yotes short of an election, a gain of ouo over
that of yesterday. The vote was as follows :
Quay, 104 votes; Jenks, "8; Dalzell, 15;
scattering, 31; total, 231. Necessary to a
choice, 110.
Arrangements have already been made for
many pairs for Saturdayand Monday. There
was considerable discussion to-day regarding
Senator Martin's ability to control tbo votes
of his Philadelphia friends who aro now vot
ing for Quay. It Is claimed these men aro
controlled by ward leadeis, aud when they
give tho word the members in question will
desert Quay.
There aro vague rumors of a surprise
likely to occur hero Very soon, iu tho nature
of a Quay denouement. There have been
rumors for several days that Quay had
reached an agreement with certain Demo
cratic statesmen at Harrisburg which will In
sure his election. The anti-Quay Bepubli.
cans, however, aro confident that there will
bo no break in their ranks, and that Quay
can only wiu by tho aid of Democrats.
There is no doubt Senator Quay, the most
icsourceful politician in the country, has got
something up his slcove. A groat many
messages have passed between Washington
and Harrisburg. It is well to bear in mind
that Senator Quay has very close and inti
mate relations with several Democratic
leaders in the United States Senate. Quay,
you know, helped to defeat the Force bill in
the Senate. Ho made the motion to lay It
aside and take up the Tariff bill. It is said,
too, that Quay gave Gorman secret assistance
in his fight iu Maryland. He could not save
him, but Mr. Gorman is not ungrateful.
Events at Harrisburg within the noxt few
days are likely to demonstrate that fact.
Tho hotel bills in a deadlocked Senatorship
contest are matters of real moment, both to
the contestants and the hotel men. The
"favorite sons" pay the expenses of them
selves and the intimate friends who are de
tained here to watch the corners and see that
no surprises are sprung. Quay ranks first In
the way of hotel bills, with the Business
Men's League second. The Quay people
have five rooms at the Lochiel with a dozen
persons iu attendance, and the landlord Is
said to tax. them on iu average of $200 a day
for the privileges they enjoy. Tho 000
electric lights in front of the hotel cost $5.00
for each hour they aro kept burning in de
claring Quay to be Pennsylvania's favorite
sou for United States Senator. The anti
Quay people have three or four rooms at the
Commonwealth, and their five or six repre
sentatives nro charged an average of $50 per
day. Tho Democrats hold forth at the
Bolton House, where tho headquarters aro
maintained by Colonel Guffoy on much less
pretentious scale than tho Bcpubllcan factions.
Senatorial contests, however, are tho result
of political systems, and hotel bills are Inci
dents to such contests.
Senator Loach, of Schuylkill, has intro
duced a bill providing for the creation of tho
office of County Solicitor in counties contain
lug 150,000 population and over; also another
bill limiting the time within which testimony
shall'be taken In certain contested elections.
Bepresentativo Haag, of the name county,
fathers a measure authorizing the election of
Borough Supervisor) to keep open and repair
streets in boroughs. In a majority of cases
theso officials are now appointed by Town
Councils.
Tbo McCarrell bill, preventing tho District
Attorneys from setting aside jurors, is being
pushed by tho Quay people and op
posed by the "antls." A hatch of
letters was presented to the Senate
from about a dozen Judges and as many
lawyers throughout the state urgtngbe pas
sage of the bll), Among the former was one
from Judge Savldge, of ShamoVin, also one
from George J. WadlinEor, tho well known
Pottsvllle attorney, another from tho secre
tary of the State Editorial Association. The
bill passed the Senate after three hours de
bate, all tho Democrats save two voting
against It. Senator Losch voted for tbo bill.
THE M'CARKBLL BILL
Pnsoc tho Pennnylvnnla Sennte by n
Vote or 27 to IT.
Ilarrlshurg-, Feb. 2. There was a
long Rebate in the senate yesterday on
the McCarrell bill preventing district
attorneys from setting- aside jurors,
which was on third reading. Mr. Fllnn
vigorously denuonced the measure and
Mr. McCarrell as vigorously defended
it. The bill passed the senate by a vote
of 28 to 17. Analysis of the vote showed
that the, senators lined up on the bill
according to their factional affiliations.
All but Wo "Democrats, Messrs. Boyd
and Stiles, voted In the negative with
the unti-Quayltes. The gubernatorial
appointments sent to the senate were
confirmed.
Senator Henry, of Philadelphia,
speaking for the anti-Quay Republi
cans, In discussing the passage of the
McCarrell bill In the senate, said:
"The McCarrell bill Is purely In. thn
Interest of Senator Quay, and It was to
bt expected that those who are voting
to return him to the senate would fa
vor Its passage. It was hastily drawn
by Senator McCarrell and referred to
the Judiciary special committee, of
which Senator McCarrell is chairman.
That committee Is composed, of 11 mem
bers, nine of whom are now voting for
Mr. Quay's re-election, notwithstand
ing the five original Indictments pend
ing against him. Should this bill be
come a law It will revolutionize the
trial of criminal cases In our state.
There la little possibility of It being
enacted into a law, as It will surely
meet defeat In the house of representa
tives. Coco Argoliue, the genuine article, for sale

Erie, Pa.. Feb. 2. The cae of An
drew II. Brooks against the trustees
of the Soldiers' Home In this city was
catled yesterday for trial before Judge
Walling. Brooks claims he was com
pelled to surrender all of his pension
over $4 a month. He alleged he had
a wife nearly SO years old residing In
Scranton, and said that pension money
taken from him by the trustees should
go to her. He testified and proved he
srnt her the U of his pension allowed
him, that she was poor and sup
porting herself going out working by
the day when able. He produced n
letter written to her by the commander
of the home refusing her any portion
of her husband's pension. Messrs.
Baiter & Olds represent the old vet
eran, and contend that the rule re
quiring payment of pension money to
trustees Is without authority of state
law, that the money taken Is not ex
pended for their maintenance or paid
over to the commonwealth, but Is held
by Treasurer Genera! Wagner. Cap
tain Whittlesey and Ramsey, of Phila
delphia, for the trustees, contend that
they take It as a disciplinary measure,
and at some future time Intend apply
ing to the legislature for permission to
build an addition to the home hospital,
and If Brooks docs not want to pay
his pension money he can leave the
home and support his wife the best
way he can. Judgment Is promised
before the next pension day. Judge
Walling intimated strongly that the
legislature should take up the matter.

Attorney Martin, who prosecuted the

deputies at Lattlmer In September,

maining Indictments against the sheriff
and his deputies had been nolle prossed.
The nolle prosequls were entered last
September, but owing to the fear of the
effect of publicity on the miners It was
deemd advisable to withhold the an
