THE NVW Hampshire law providing for the. establishment of free public libraries through the agency of a board of library commissioners was passed in 1801. At that time there were 00 towns and cities in the state maintaining free libraries, and 173 without any. The present record shows these figures exactly reversed; there are now only <SO towns which have no free public library, while 173 are provided with them. The libraries recently estab lished reach a population of 100,000.

A llun<lr<l More 11111b llnve Keen Actixl U|ion Tlmn for the Same Time In 1803. The I leer Tux Hill Will Probably be Defeated. (Special Correspondence.) lIARRISBURG, May o.—The legislature will probably wind up Its affairs the first Thursday of June. The inombcr&liavo bo coino tired of the daily grind or routine work and are anxious to get away. The senate calendar is in good shape, and, if necessary, can beclearedof all bills within forty-eight hours. The house took u spurt last week and cleaned up the calendar of first and second reading house bills. There art) less than fifty sonuto bills on second reading, and about 200 house bills 011 third reading 011 the house calendar. This is equal to about eight days' work of six hours a day. Speaker's Clerk Huhn says it Is the first time within his legislative experience of thirty four years that the house calendar was clour of second read ing house bills the first week of May. A resume of the work of the house up to date shows that it has considered 710 bills 011 first reading, 001 on second read ing and 208 on third reading. A compari son of the work accomplished by the house up to May 2, 1803, and the same date this year shows that two years ago 55(5 house and 231 senate bills, or 787 in all, had been reported from the committees. This year the house bills number (521 and the senate bills 248, a total of 872. Two years ago, at this time, 129 house bills had boon acted upon and sent to the senate, together with 14 senate bills. This year the numbers are 187 and 21, respectively. There have been 24 house bills passed both branches and gone to the governor, or one more than two years ago. A comparison of the work of the senate up to date with two years ago shows that 507 bills have been read In place this year, as against 180 in 1803. Two years ago,up to May 2, there were 488 bills reported from the senate committees. This year there have been brought out (509. TIIO Senate Moving Slowly. The senate is moving very slowly. Its members are in no hurry to dispose of the remaining house bills on the calendar un til they have some definite Information as to what is to become of their bills In the house. Two years ago, when the legisla ture adjourned, two hundred senate bills were left on the house calendar. The sen ators claim that they uro entitled to the same consideration the house has roceived at their hands, and they do not proposo to concur in the joint resolution for a final adjournment until all their bills have been acted upon. The senato is an easy going body, and its members are willing to stay here until the middle of June, if necessary, to secure final consideration in the house of their pet measures. Chairman Marshall, of tho house appro priatlons committee, expects to report next Thursday about forty appropriation hills for state institutions. They will aggre gate about $4,500,000, a heavy reduction over two years ago. Tho managers of the state institutions have hitherto roeolvod a lot of extras that they will not got this year. Discussing appropriations it might bo said that there is very little hope for any of the institutions, other than thoso sup ported wholly by the state, that are now seeking aid. There has been 110 brighten ing of the cloudy financial sky so far as the state government Is concerned. It may he that after everything has boon consid ered and the accounts gone over carefully that there may remain a very little to be divided among the semi-state institutions, but it will be so little that it will not be a drop in the bucket. Nothing has yet been done by the legis lature to increase the stato revenues. The house ways and means committee will re port tomorrow tho Cochrane bill taxing brewers twenty-four cents a barrel for all beer browed or sold within tho state. This would raise an annual revenue of about $900,000. If such a law is passed nothing can be realized from it for a year. Opposing the Ileer Tux Bill. This boor tux bill has created one or two commotions in the house. The latest oc curred last Thursday night, whon an at tempt was made to got tho bill out of tho hands of the committee on ways and means. Chairman Hitter objected, how ever, and tho proposition failed, on the ground that it was not the fault of tho commltteo that tho hill had not boon con sldered. The proposition is to tax domestic beer sixteen cents per barrel. It is also proposed to tax foreign beer—that is, all beer that comes from Rochester, Cincin nati, Milwaukee or Canada—a similar amount. When tho remarkable decline In the state's revenues were first announced and tho proposition was mado to cut down tho school appropriation the grangors imme diately raised a cry and declared that this was unnecessary, inasmuch as tho loss in rovonue could be mado up by Imposing a tax on beer. A bill to this effect was al ready before tho house, having been Intro duced by Representative Cockran, of Arm strong, hut It hung fire in committee. The grangers immediately began to agitate its passage. They sent committees to inter view tho governor, and formed temporary organizations to push the schemo. Behind it all lay this fact, that if the school appropriation was reduced they would he compelled to increase their local taxation for school purposes. It is not likely that anything will be done with the matter. It will frighten tho brewers and others interested in the production of beer, and that will be all. Tho stumbling block in the whole measure is tho Injustice of Its dealings, should It bucomo a law, to the Pennsylvania browors. Ho far as known there is no way in which the tax can be saddled on the brewer in Milwaukee shipping beer into Pennsyl vania. Ho could claim protection under the original package act of tho United Statos government, and there the matter would end. It is now proposed to let them ship their products in original packages and then tux It after it gets In. No de cision has boon rendorod on the subject by any competent authority and is not like'.y to bo until final action is taken on the measure. Tho New Revenue Hill. Tho new revenue bill will bo considered next Thursday on second reading. Chair man Utter, of the ways and menus com mittee, has the measure In charge, and has requested members who have amendments which they Intend to offer to hand them to him, so that they may be submitted to the cotumlttee. There have been so many conflicting in terests to be considered in this direction that it can be predicted thut thoro will be the hottest kind of a fight over the various provisions. Members from the rural dis tricts will raise the cry, which has been ruised so often before, that the farmers are being oppressed to the benefit of the cor porations. But the men who have given the closest attention to thin, nruljwho have looked uftor the interest of the farmer as well as the interest of the manufacturer, claim that the revenue bill which comes out, as the result of the best thought of the tax conference, is by long odds the most equitable and perfect bill that has seen the light of day in Pennsylvania in recent yours. It is expected that the h will con sider this week on second r the nu merous local and special bills which have been lingering in committee and 011 the calendars for a long time. The bill creat ing the ollico of deputy auditor general and two traction measures will be cousid ered In the house on third reading and final passage tomorrow morning 011 special orders. During the week the friends of the Fliun road bill, and the measure put iu by Itop rotuutatlvo Smiley will endeavor to agree upon a bill satisfactory to both parties. It looks now as if there might bo some road legislation this session. There will also bo a conference during the week oil the two bills changing the method of distrib utiug the school appropriation. The Porter School Hill Muddle. Tho Porter school bill abolishing sec tional school boards in Philadelphia, on which a hearing will bo given tomorrow evening, is doomed to defeat unless its friends can rescue it from the bauds of tho house committee on municipal corpora tions. In tho first place it is conceded that a mistake was made In referring It to this committee; that instead of going to the committee on municipal corporations it should havo gone to tho committee 011 education. Tho friends of tho bill cluim that it was sent to tho committee on mu nicipal corporations by design and for tho purpose of encompassing its defeat. Speaker Walton was absent for several days last month and iu his absence called Representative P. M. Lytic, of Hunting don, to the chair. It was the latter gen tleman who referred this bill to tho com mittee on municipal corporations, and upon whose shoulders there has rested the charge of design in referring it. Mr. Ly tic explains that ho roforrcd it to tho mu nicipal corporations committee beeauso it was so marked by Speaker's Clerk Huhn, on whose judgment lio relied, and Mr. llulm declares that ho referred It to the committee 011 municipal corporations, in stead of to tho commltteo on educutlon,be cause it had been referred to that commit tee in tho senate, and 110 supposed it should go to tho same committee iu tho houso. Au interesting compilation of streot passenger railway, electric and traction power bills in house and senate has been made. It shows that there arc Just four toon of those bills in tho houso and senate. One failed last week, four have passed second reading in the house, three are on third rcudlng in tho house, one has been substituted, two have passed tho house finally, two still hang fire in tho commlt teo 011 street passenger railways in tho house, and 0110 is now in a committee of tho sonatc. To Hanquot the Legislators. The members will mix pleasure with work this week. Tomorrow tho associa tion of country newspaper editors 111 the senate and house will tender a banquet to tho eighteen legislative correspondents. The following evening Chris L. Magee will probably give a banquet to the mem bers of both branches in honor of the ap proval of the greater Pittsburg bills. The intention is to hold the banquet on the evening of the day 011 which tho throo an nexation bills receive Governor Hastings' signature. It is believed the governor will sign them on Wednesday, and not later than Thursday. It will probable be determined this week whether or not Philadelphia is to bo "Lex owed." The senato Judiciary general com mittee is expected to take final action to morrow evening on tho Penrose resolu tion for a souato committee to investigate tho municipal affairs of tho Quaker city. Tho same afternoon tho opponents of the proposed investigation will be given a hearing by the committee. Thero will bu more surprises iu storo for senators on both sides of this question. There are sen ators who are counted on one side who will voto 011 tho other, and vice versa. All newspaper estimates as to how the fight will result iu committee are pure conjec ture. One thing is certain, that the oppo sition is stronger than anyone has dreamed of, and it is pretty broadly htntod on what seems substantial grounds that unless Sonator Quay gives orders that tho resolu tion bo passed it will run a very doubtful course. Everybody is waiting to hear from Sen ator Quay. Ho has boon expected here for a month. Last week a close friend said ho had decided to rcmuin away from the state capital during the legislative session. It is now stated on tho highest authority that tho senator will come to Harrisburg for a few days after the senate has dis posed of tho Penrose resolution. Senator Quay will spend the summer at his home at Beaver. W. liurglitri Use Dynamite. TROY, Pa., May 0. —A darlug burglary was porpetratod iu this place during tho night. Tho safe in Robinson's mill and feed store was blown open with dynamite and afterward tho postoffioe was broken into. The postmaster hearing the noise the burglars decamped, leaving a part of their tools in their hasto. Only a small sum of money was obtained, tho safe in the postofflco remaining unopened. Judge White Wins Ills Contest. INDIANA, Pa., May 6.—The contest court in the Blair-White judical election fight decided in favor of Judge Harry White, tho Republican candidate. There is some talk of possible prosecution of White 011 a charge that ho committed perjury iu tak ing tho oath of ollioe, but the chances aro that Harry White will be on the bench for ten years. Evidence of Infanticide. LANCASTER, Pa., May 6.—Tho dead body of a newly born infant was found floating in Mill creek, not far from this city, yes terday. It was wrapped only in a petticoat and thoro were no marks of identification. The child had boon born alive and had ovldontly been in the water about twenty four hours. One Miner Killed, Another Fatally Hurt. ASHLAND, Pa., May 6.—A heavy fall of coal occurred at Knickerbocker colliory, instantly killing Htcih Matscar.

An explosion of gas at tho same mine fatally injured John Leckow. a miner- TOUGH ON WILDCATS In Connecticut the Beaata Are Having a Hard Time. Three Kuiall Ciamccocks l'ut Out an Ugly Mounter'* Kyes~ A Maraud lug Cat Dis patched by a Hog—strangled hy a Flslillne. The severity of the winter has driven the wildcats and foxes from Turkey hill and lledhend ridge into the sur rounding farming districts near Wheel er's Farms, Conn., in search of food. Not a week passes that some poultry yard or stable is not raided. If all the farmers kept so plucky a breed of game fowls as Lazarus Degsworth, there would be less loss. Degsworth lives down on the Housatonio river turnpike. His nearest neighbor, the Widow Todd, had her chicken house cleaned out by tho wildcats recently, and so when he heard a tremendous racket in his yard tho other night he guessed what the trouble was. Grabbing a shotgun he hurried to the rescue. His boy Sim held the light while he tried to make out the trouble. He could see dimly a large creature flopping and rolling about iu the house, and its screams and hisses drowned the cackling of tho hens. Then three of the small game cocks could be seen sailing Into a wild cat. The largest of the original four, a splendid white pyle, was dead, and one of the two reds was bleeding badly about the head. It was a curious bat tle, and much as Degsworth wanted to take a hand and help his brave game cocks, he did not dare shoot for fear of killing the birds. The frightened hens were huddled in a far corner of the coop cackling. After watching his chance he saw an opening, and as the three cocks retreated all together in a bunch from a stroke of the vicious paws, he shoved the muzzle of the gun in and fired. When the smoke cleared away he saw that tho buckshot had done its work, for the ugly beast lay still. As he dragged her out the three little roosters crowed loudly and con tinued their triumphant trumpeting till morning. The wildcat was found to have been totally blinded in both eyes, one of which hud been torn from its socket. This was done by the birds and not by the gun charge. Iloplini Piatt's barnyard, says the New York Sun, is also well guarded A HOWL ROSE FROM TUE DARKNESS. against such Intruders. lie and his farm hands were routed out of bed the other day by prolonged squeuling und caterwauling. While they were hunt ing up a weapon the noise suddenly abated, and all they heard were dole ful howls and hoarse grunts. They found the pigpen the scene of tho dis turbance. One young porker lay dead, and the old sow was badly scratched and torn about the head and shoulders. The partition between this pen and that which holds Peter Jackson, the ugly old black hog, had been smashed and the hog was giving passionate grunts as he stamped with his sharp hoofs and tore with his tusks a dying wildcat. Old Sedge Spencer, a negro who lives by himself up north of the Salt Meadow bridge, inude a novel experiment with wildcats recently. He is an inde fatigable fisherman, and so the idea came to him of fishing for the big wild cat that had been hanging around his hen house of nights of late. He lashed two big codfish hooks together, back to back, and made this double hook fast to a six-foot snood of light iron dog chain, which ho knew would resist the teeth of the game. Then he lashed tho snood end to a stout coil of clothes line, baited his hook with a high flavored piece of beef, and as soon as it was dark flung his tackle out of the second-story window of his cabin and awaited results. 110 was almost asloep when he heard tho bedpost creak, and, feeling for the rope, found it taut as a drumhead. A howl rose from the darkness outside, and Spencer grinned with delight as he felt the captive plunge and run and pull on the line. When he thought the spitting, snarling creature was quiet ing down a bit, he went to the window, laid hold and began to haul in. Just here was where his calculations all went wrong. Scarcely had the cat felt the hook jerked home when she emit ted one long scream, and, leaping for the wistaria vine on the side of the cabin, began to climb for the window with tremendous speed. Spencer was so terrified that he dropped the line and tried to shut the window. It was jammed and would not budge. He gave a yell, ran into a small closet and held the door shut tight. Not until broad daylight did he dare to open the door for a peep, and then he found the room empty. His line dangled loose from the window, and he found that the wildcat had bitten it in two and freed herself. Spencer got his hooks back on Wednesday of this week, when two rabbit hunters found the cat dead in a patch of chestnuts. The end of tho line had caught around a stump, and, twisting around her neck, had strangled her. She weighed forty-six pounds. English Tars.

In Washington county, Maine, be tween New Stream and the East Ma chius river, the townsmen of Northfleid und V\ hitneyville have had consider able fun since October chasing a wild heifer, which strayed from Bartlett Albee's farm in Northfleid some time last summer. She displayed all the alertness and sagacity of game animals iu eluding capture, Dogs were put on her in November, but instead of circling as deer do when pursued by hounds, she put straight away like a caribou, to re main for weeks away from her accus tomed localities. Recently there was a heavy snow storm in that part of the country, and, report having come to Whitneyville that the heifer, a shadow of her former IIEALEY GRASPED BOTH OF THE IIORNH. self, had been sighted in the woods near the confluence of Old and New streams, which empty into the Macliius east of Northfleid, Thomas Hennessey and Jim Ilealey, accompanied by some boys, started out to capture her. Hunger had driven the animal from the woods to the clearings, but nothing could induce her to come near a human being. When sighted, Hennessey and Ilealey gave chase on showshoes, tho deep snow making rapid progress for the heifer out of the question. She ran, however, till her pursuers were close on her quarters, when she suddenly, says the New York Sun, turned to give battle. Iler bellowings were terrific, and she looked so frightful when she turned that Hennessey and the boys gave way. Ilealey was game. Two years ago a she bear is said to have treed him, and he has been the victim of more or less guying ever since. He is a powerful young fellow and knows how to handle cattle. When the heifer turned he planted himself squarely in front of her. She hesitated, eyed him furiously for a mo ment and charged. When she lowered her head to give him the toss Ilealey grasped both of her horns, threw all the weight of his body on his left hand, bearing the heifer's head into tho snow, at the same time pushing up and over on the left horn. It's a trick that has to be done on tho Instant, and when it is worked as Ilealey worked it down goes the animal, as did tho heifer. Healey held her head in the snow while Hennessey and the boys procured ropes with which to tie her legs to gether. This being done she was bundled into a sled and taken to North field, where she is now putting on fat und getting used to her earlier sur roundings. A WOMAN'S STRATAGEM. Her Clever Rune to Dot Rid of the IlalllfTs Was Successful. A novel method of getting rid of men in possession has been discovered by an impecunious lady living in the Rue Thiers in Paris. In an unguarded mo ment she opened the door to the men, who had been watching their oppor tunity for some days. Finding what she had done, she tried to frighten the men by making a parade of legal lour 11- "ARREST THOSE MEN." ing. There were severe penalties, she said, for taking possession without se curing the attendance of the local po lice commissary. The bailiffs only laughed at this, whereupon the lady went out to complain, as she said, to the police, and locked them in her flat. Bhortly afterwards she returned with two policemen, and said: "Arrest those men. They have broken into my place.'" It was in vain that the poor wretches declared that they were honest broker's men. Possibly their looks were sus picious. At all events, the policemen, while muttering something about "having heard that sort of thing be fore," marched them off to the police station. Arriving there they were soon released on production of evidence of their identity. The men contemplate an action for false imprisonment, but meanwhile they have to devise fresh means to secure an entry to the place from which they were so unceremo niously ejected. <*lrls for City Wolglieri.

A Number of Unities Already Recov ered at Sioux Centre—Perkins Al most Entirely Wiped Out School Houses Wrecked and Teachers ami Pupils Killed. Sioux City, la., May 4. —Sioux county was devastated by a terrific cyclone last evening. The storm came from the northwest and struck Sioux Centre, a small town forty-Ave miles north of this point at 4 o'clock. Telegraphic reports from the scene of the storm are very meagre, the wires being down, but it is known that a considerable number were killed and injured. The first reports were received by the Sioux City & North ern railroad from their agent at Sioux Centre. The dispatch read: "Cyclone passed three miles northwest of here. School house near town blown down, teacher killed and several children killed and injured. Exact number and names have not yet bee learned. Whole country in the track of the storm devas tated. Sioux City & Northern tracks between Perkins aud Doou washed out for several miles." A press dispatch from Sioux Centre says that at least twenty residences near that place were swept away. At the school house two teachers and thrco pu pils were killed and many injured. Two women were found dead not far from the point where ono of the school buildings stood. One man who arrived in Sioux Centre this morniug reported that his house was blown away aud his fumily killed. He alone escaped and says that at (oust a hundred people must have hceu killed. i ariies were sent out Hull, Sioux Centre and Orange City, nWgli bor ing towns, but their work was carried on in total darkness and in the midst of a tremendous wind and rain storm. A number of bodies have been recovered although the exact number cannot be learned. Everyone is violently excited and detailed accounts cunnot be obtained. The town of Perkins between Sioux Centre aud Doon was directly in the path of the storm and was almost en tirely wiped out. The wiros leading to it are all down. The tracks are all washed out aud the roads cannot be safely traveled over, owing to the manner in which they were gullied by the rain. It is consequently no easy matter to reach it. Physicians were sent from Hull, Orange City and Sioux Centre. They met with every conceivable obstacle iu their effort to reach the scene of the storm. The Sioux City & Northern train brought several passengers who witnessed the storm. They reported that twenty dead had been brought iu to Sioux Cen tre up to midnight, it is estimated that fifty people must have been killed. The Northern train barely escaped a smash-up in a wash-out near Doon, but was stopped by sectionuien before it passed upon the dangerous territory. As nearly as can be learned the towns which suffered were Perkins, Sibley, Doon, Hull aud Sioux Centre. Sioux Centre and Hull were grazed only by the edge of the storm and no fatalitiesuro re ported from either of them. The num ber of killed at Doon is now stated at ten. Four or five will probably eovei the deaths at Sibley. At Perkins the lons of life is said to have been very large, probably not less thau 80 or 40 This, with the number killed on farm about the country, must bring the lium her up to nearly 75 or 100. Many of tin killed were school children. Muny of the children were carried from a quarter to half mile before they were dropped. Two little daughters of John Coster, u farmer near Sioux Centre, were picked up as they were leuving the school house aud dashed into a wire fenee and both wore killed. Sioux Falls, S. 1)., May 4.—A cyclone dropped into West Soux Falls last even ing aud did $50,000 damage to property. A man named Arthur had his nose broken, face eut and was otherwise in jured. The carriage works, together with a hundred carriages, were wrecked. The third story of a largo brick block was torn off and several people narrowly escaped being badly injured. Probably a hundred houses, barns, windmills and trees and chimneys were scattered over the patli of the storm. Hedfield, S. I)., May 4.—At this writ ing returns are coming in showing that within ten utiles north of Hedfield a regular cyclone traversed toward Ash ton, where it did much damage. The opera house building, formerly the court house, was blown out of shape. The steeple of the Congregational church was blown down, many houses uuroofod and barns destroyed. The main street of the city is strewn with debris of de molished buildings. Atchison, Kas., May 4.—A violent storm struck A tchinson. last night, and rain came down in great torrents. The Missouri Pacific telegraph wires are down in northwestern Kansas and it is believed that there has been a cyclone iu that section. DEATH ENDED Ills SPEECH. Edward Burrough Falls Dead at the Home of Gen. Grubb. Borden town, May 4.—Edward Bur rough, of Merchantvillo, N. J., president of the state board of agriculture, fell dead last evening at the residence of General E. Burd Grubb, at Edgcwater Park. Mr. Burrough was attending the an. aal reunion of the survivors of the Twenty-third New Jersey regiment at General Grubb's home, aud had just ad dressed the veterans, when he died. Mr. Burroughs concluding words were: "Boys, we have spent many sod as well as happy days together, but, if we should never meet again, I want to say this has been the happiest day of my life." Before the applause had ceased Mr. Burrough put his hand to his head and instantly fell backward dead into the arms of General Grubb. Custom 11 oußc Cashloritosigiia. New York, May 4. W. H.
