From Quay and Elec
tion of Christ. Magee Is
Predicted,
Harris burg, March 94. Tiie name of Frank
Wilting Leach, one of ex-Senatsr Onr'i
shrewdest manager, was dragged into tin
bribery scandal last night by Robert M.
Foster, of Centre. Foster is a Democrat awl
is serving his second term in the House.
Loach U alleged to bavo offered him a nUee
on the Appropriations Committee and Sol
diers' Orphan School Commission in return
for supporting "tho old man." Leaoh Is at
his home in Philadelphia with a sore throat.
and will ask to bo allowed to answer Foster
under oath.
Three members from Schuylkill county.
Representatives Anderwn, Consteln and
Gwenther, have each appeared and answered
the questions in the negative. The probe ap
plied by the committee Is as keen-edged and
as broad, it seems, as anything could possibly
he. A trutnful man could not protect bis at
temped traducer. It Is simply impossible for
any one approached to dony it without per
juring himself.
Three members elated that Representative
Eugler informed them that be had been ap
proached the day following his visit to Coyle
and Costcllo. The next hearing will take
place Tuesday afternoon, and on Monday the
committee will ask for more time in which
to make their report to the House.
The appropriation bills introduced in tho
House with a favorable recommendation pro
vides for an appropriation of $K8.100 for the
Miners' hospital at Fountain Springs. The
last appropriation received was $70,500.00. and
tho trustees this year asked for $101,315.
under tne appropriation granted by the eom-
mitteo the hospital will be only able to ac
commodate one-half of the patients thoy have
in the past, as the maintenance alone costs
$35,000 each year.
DBSEBTION FROM QIJA.Y PREDICTED.
A strong effort will be made next Tuosday
or Wednesday on the part of the "antls" to
force Senator Quay to retire from the Sena
torial fight. The "antls" have decided to
concentrate their forces and give nnited sup
port in turn to one anti-quay candidate.
rbe leaders of the "insurgents" assert posi
tively that a great many now voting for
Quay will desert him next week, but this
is denied by the former Senator's friends.
Congressman John Dalzell will probably
be the beneficiary of the first day's united
ballot, although it looks very much as If tho
wind-up of tbo affair will be the election of
Senator Chris. L. Magee. The latter has
voted for Quay since the balloting began, and
has kept several of his friends in lino for the
"Old Man." The "Insurgents" are positive
in their assertions that an election will tako
place before the adjournment of tho Legisla
ture. Both sides say that next week will develop
startling moves in the Senatorial battle, and
they are urging their friends to be on hand.
Senator Losch, who is sick at his home, has
been telegraphed for to be here next week if
his condition will allow it.
The vote of the joint session to-day was as
follows: Quay 35, Jenks 31, Dalzell 10,
scattering 24.

sions yesterday afternoon in the rooms

ing, told him before the committee was

delphia, on the McCarrell bill. Mr.
Eugler did nor say anything to the wit
ness to indicate that an offer of money
had been made to him by Costello.
Mr. Castner testified thnt the day af
ter Mr. Engler was alleged to have visit
ed ex-Senator Coyle at the Lochlel hotel
he pointed out Costello, who was in the
house, and said, "There is the boodler
who approached me."
At the evening session Mr,' Foster, of
Centre, testified that after the speaker
was elected he made a canvass of the
Republican leaders to be appointed on
the appropriations committee and the
BOldier's orphan school commission. lie
testified that Frank Willing Leach told
him be (Leach) was making up the com
mittees, and not the speaker. Mr.
Leach wunted to know what Foster
could do for the "old man," and the
latter declared he was pledged to the
Democratic candidate, and could do
nothing for Quay. He had never been
offered a bribe.
Mr. Coray, of Luzerne, said a mem
ber of the house told him he could have
had money if he would have moved to
reconsider the vote by which the Mc
Carrell bill was postponed until March
21. lie refused to give the uunia of the
