Harrisburg. April 5. Tho much heralded
break of Senator Mageo from the Quay
column, which was prodkted fur yesterday,
and then for to-day, did not materialize.
Tbcro was no change In the material strength
of the opposing factions, but the "Insurants"
again changed tholr favorite, concentrating
thtlr strength to-day upon Congressman
Huff, of Westmorolaud.
Tho result of the joint session showed
Senator Quay again seveuteeu short of an
election. The vote was as follows ; Quay 80,
Jcuks 79, Huff 50.
QUAY IS OOMINO.
It was given out to-day on what seems to
bo reliable authority, that ex benator Quay
will arrive In Harrisburg this evening, and
a co"forcuco between bis followers will re
sult. The Beaver statesman will meet Senator
Mageo, aud tho result of that conference will
largely determine the future course of the
big Pittsburger In tho Senatorial fight. The
"antis" say Mageo will do the flop act to
morrow, but they said that before and past
events have not verified tholr statements.
TUB JUBTICHB' BILL.
Senate bill providing for tho electing and
commissioning of separate Justices of the
Peace in and for each of the wards Into
which boroughs located within tho limits of
counties containing not less than 150,000 In
habitants may bo divided, was amended in
committeo of the whole so that it shall only
apply to wards which havo over 1500 popula
tion. The bill passed third reading aud was
laid over for printing. The amendment was
presented in order to meet the objections of
Representative Corey, of Luzerne county
who said many of the small towns In his
county objected to tho measure. Tho bill
was Immediately placed first on tho calendar
for final passage this evening. There is
every likelihood that it will pass, tbo
amendments agreed to in the Senate, aud
receive the Governor's signature.
The amendment making the bill applicable
only to wards having over 1500 population
may exclude the Second ward of Shenan
doah. The last census gives that ward 1,410
population, but the new census to be taken iu
1000 will greatly Increase that to above the
required number called for in tbo bill. The
question arises, can the Second ward secure a
Justice before t'lo next census. Thero are
those who contend that it can, while others
take tho opposite view. Tho First ward has
over 4,000. while the Third, Fourth and Fifth
each have moro than 3,000 population.
Should the appointment and election of
Justices, under the bill M amended, ..bp made
iu accordance with the last census, the Third
and Fourth wards of Mahanoy City would bo
deprived of a ward Justico, the first named
having 1,267 and tho latter 1,412. The other
three wards of that town have the required
population.
On third reading iu tbo House tho bill to
empower School Directors of townships to
exercise tho powers of a Board of Health in
each township was defeated.
Theso bills passed the House finally : To
authorizo boroughs to provide a supply of
water for the use of the inhabitants, to make
all needful regulations for the protection of
the pipes, reservoirs and other constructions
and apparatus, and to prevent tho waste of
water so supplied; specifying the mode of
procedure iu cases whero the Burgess and
Town Council of auy borough pass an ordin
anco annexing adjacent lands of a township,
lots or out lots of the same.

Matthew P. Blazls, a popular young Lithu
anian resident of town, and Miss Mame
Kolwacb, of Centralis, were married at 11
o'clock this morning iu the Lithuanian
church at Mt, Carmcl. There was a largo at
tendance of friends of both parties at the
ceremony. Louis Kazunas, of town, was the

Why Women Are Xervnua.
(Ililtl.il Medlenl New..
The frequent cases of nervous prostration
or utter collapse of tho nervous system un
der which women "go all to pieces," as the
saying is, havo caused much thought and in
vestigation on tbo part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cau various forms of nervous
diseases which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them, further research
lends to the belief that alum is a prevailing
cause of so-called nervous prostration, for the
symptoms it prodncos on the nervous system
after its absorption into tbo blood are very
remarkablo indeed, hxperimcnts physiolog
ically madu upon animals by Or II la, Pro
fessors Hans Mayer, Paul Scim aud others.
show that alum frequently produces no
visible symptoms for many days after its in
troduction into the body. Then follow loss
of appetite and other alimentary disturb
ances, and finally a serious prostration of tho
whole nervous system. Tho most prominent
physicians now bslieve that "nervous pros
tration" and many affections of tho nerves
from which both men and women suffer are
caused by the continued absorption of alum
into the system.
It is probable that many medical men are
uuaware of tho extent to which salts of
alumina may be introduced into tho body,
liclug under tho impression that tbe usoof
alum in bread Is prohibited. Alum, however.
is still used surreptitiously to some extent to
whiten bread and very largely in making
cheap kinds of baking powder. In families
whero baking powder is generally used great
euro should bo exercise to procure only
those brands made from cream of tartar
Tho alum powders may generally bo distin
guished by the lower price at which they aro
sold.

An audience that packed all parts of Fer
