No D.cl.lve CluiuKe Yet In tlie Senatorial Content—Detective* Waicliing for Kvi doiiCMH of Bribery —A Bill of Interest to the Mining Section*. Ilarrisburg, Pa, February 3. Another valuable week, If the legis lature Is to make an early adjournment, has passed, and nothing of importance to the state has been accomplished. Several ballots for senator have been taken, and no choice; another hatch of appropriation bills presented; the Mc- Carrell jury bill pushed forward a step, about constitutes the week's doings. The interest in the senatorial contest has considerably decreased during the week. All contending forces seem to be resting on their oars waiting for something new ; to turn up. The consideration of the McCarrcil j jury hill in the senate created more j talk than the senatorial light. The opposition hinted that it was being advocated in the interest of a certain prominent politician, when the friends of Quay openly declared that It was. An amendment offered making the bill not applicable to present cases was defeated. Old timers say that not in years have the members and senators been compel led to conduct themselves so carefully as at present. The offer of $30,000 re ward by the independent Republicans, and SIO,OOO by Quay, for EVIDENCE OF BRIRKKY in collection with the present senatorial light, and the presence of many detec tives in the city, makes it imperative that members carry themselves very creditably or they may unexpectedly find themselves In the tolls of the law, justly or unjustly. That's politics. Things on capitoi hill are undergoing a greater shaking up at present than has occurred in the past twenty-five years. No serious objection will be made to any of Governor Stone's ap pointments, but the lobbyist—the man who is sent here with money to buy legislation to suit corporations and trusts —must go. "Snake" hills will not get through this session of the legisla ture. If there has been a "job" con nected with the present unfinished capi toi building, the people can rest assured that this session will find it out. The composition of this session and that of two years ago differ as much as day and night. This year the body is composed mostly of business men, who cotne here for the best Interests of their constituents and not the politicians. This Is what is making the senatorial fight so difficult. A body so constituted is not susceptible to THE INFLUENCE OK MONEY, so that practical politicians, all along the line, are at a loss to handle this new element of determined men. The legislature had Lieutenant Gov ernor Gobin in pretty hot water for 1 awhile, but he Is alright now. He was i lilling the office of lieutenant governor and was also an officer in the army. The holding of these two offices, which Is contrary to law, almost caused him to be dropped as presiding officer of the joint senatorial ballot. lie has received an honorable discharge from the army, and now his opponents can find no just cause for his removal. Governor .Stone has approved resolu tions tendering the thanks of the legis ature to Miss Helen Gould, for her patriotic services during the .Spanish- American war. A hill to increase tlie revenues of the state by a change of mercantile tax assessments and giving the auditor general power to appoint all MERCANTILE AITHAIBEKB in the state, has been presented. It imposes a tax of $2 upon every retail dealer doing a business of more than SI,OOO and less than $2,000 a year, and for every additional SI,OOO worth of buslnesssl.so Is added. Wholesale deal ers are required to pay a tax of 50 cents for every SI,OOO worth of business done. Dealers are required to swear to the amount of business done each year, both cash and credit. A measure, which will bo appreciated throughout the mining sections of the state, has been introduced by Represen tative M. J. Tigho, of Luzerne. A decision of the supreme court relieves corporations from liability for damages for injuries to employes of mines when accidents causing the injuries are due to negligence of what are known as mine bosses, superintendents and foremen. This hill defines the relationship be tween mine bosses, superintendents and foremen of coal mines and persons, firms or corporations owning or operating the same, and provides that "in all actions for the recovery of damages against per sons, firms or corporations owning or operating coal mines in this state brought by, or on behalf of, any em ploye of the same or by his heirs or legal representatives, for injuries sustained by said employe while acting as such, whether said injuries may have resulted fatally or otherwise, any act of negli gent. whether of any mine boss, super- FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, FEBRUARY G, 1899. intendent or foreman which may have resulted in or in any degree made possi ble said injuries to any employe as afore said, shall be deemed and held to be the act of a representative or agent of said persons, firms or corporations owning or operating said coal mines and not the act of a co-employe of person injured." Another attempt will be made to in crease tlie minimum school term from six to seven months. This bill last term met severe opposition from some portions of the state, where the people did not desire a longer school term. A bill for nearly $(3,000 for the pleasure trip of the legislature to the unveiling of the Grant monument, in New York, two years ago, has been presented. Other bills presented were: Railroad companies having a trackage in the state of one hundred miles or more to issue mileage books for 500 to 1,000 miles, at 2 cents, and making it a fine of SSO not so to do; to reduce the rate of legal interest for Pennsylvania,from (5 to 5 per cent; for the governor to appoint a committee to supply the state with school books at actual cost. The uncertainty connected with the holding of their jobs is still causing many clerks in the various departments considerable loss of sleep. The order to move has reached a number. Nissjoy. BISHOP O'HARA DEAD. The Head of tlie Catholic Diocese of 8c ran to U I'NHU Away. The venerable Bishop William OTlara. of the Roman Catholic diocese of Scran ton, was claimed by death at 8.50 o'clock on Friday night, lie was 82 years of age. For some time past he has been in feeble health. The funeral will take place on Thurs day morning. Prominent prelates and clergymen will take part in the cere monies. Bishop OTlara was born in Limavady, County Derry, Ireland. His father etui grated to this country about 18"JO, bring ing with him iiis young wife and son, and settled in Philadelphia. At the age of 1(1 young OTlara showed an inclination for the priesthood, and through the interest of Bishop Kenrick, was enabled to go to Rome to pursue his studies at the College of the Propaganda. After a course of nearly eleven years lie graduated with the highest honors. After his ordination, in 1843, he re turned to Philadelphia, whore he labor ed with great success for twenty-live years in several arduous missions, chief of which was St. Patrick's parish, of which ho was pastor for over thirteen years. lie was also, during his pas torate at St. Patrick's, the rector of the Theological seminary and principal pro fessor. After the accession of Bishop Wood, in 18(10, ho became the vicar general of the diocese, which oftico he retained until his promotion to the episcopate. When the original diocese of Philadel phia was divided, in 1808, Dr. OTlara was chosen the first bishop of Scranton, and consecrated by Bishop, afterward Archbishop, Wood, on Sunday, July 12, 1808. When Bishop OTlara took charge of his new diocese, thirty-one years ago. the total number of priests in the diocese was twenty-five, there were only forty seven churches, two religious schools. 400 pupils and a Catholic population of about 25,000, widely scattered. Now there are seventyAdght churches with resident priests, forty missions with churches, over thirty stations, several chapels and 130 priests; there are nearly 500 religious women, and about twenty live theological students. There arc over forty parochial schools, with an attendance of 12,000 pupils; one college for t he higher education of boys, ten academies for young ladies and a Catholic population of 125.000. The charitable institutions founded and supported by Bishop OTlara are: St. Patrick's Orphanage, St. Joseph's Foundling Home and the House of the Good Shepherd. The value of the unencumbered church property in the diocese Is over $2,000,000. Dcaliicwt Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

The political sensation of the hour In in Schuylkill county is the quo warranto proceedings, the papers of which were on Saturday filed with the attorney gen eral at Ilarrisburg. to oust Dr. C. A. Bieiler, of Fraekville, from the office of coroner. The petition alleged that he had made promises of appointment during the campaign and has illegally used money in purchasing votes of delegates. The information is sworn to by Alder man James O'Brien, of Mahanoy City, who was an applicant for appointment as deputy. Dr. Paul Dunn, of Mahanoy City, another disappointed aspirant for deputy, is also a prosecutor in the case. Tlie charges brought against Dr. Bieiler are as follows: That he gave I*. 11. Stapleton, a delegate in the county convention of 1898, representing a Tama qua ward, a large sum of money to sup port and vole for him; that lie paid a large sum of money to other delegates to the convention, and that they in pur suance of said payment of money had voted for liiui. That Bieiler did allow, authorize and furnish with money one Jeremiah Foulk to offer, give and pay money for hi in to divers delegates to vote for him, and that Foulk had used tho money in Bleiler's name for the purpose stated. That Dr. Bieiler had, before the elec tion. promised the appointment of dep uty coroner to the following persons: John Brennan and Patrick Graham, Shenandoah; Dr. Paul Dunn, Mahanoy City, and to Charles Zehner for Ids son, Dr. William Zehner; that Charles A. Bieiler while a candidate for said office made other promises and offered to give to the electors of tho said county of Schuylkill money, rewards and other valuable considerations for votes at his nomination and election. That he did wilfully, unlawfully and corruptly use and pay money to the amount of SI,OOO to divers of the elec tors. whose names are unknown, of said county for the purpose of securing and controlling the votes of said electors at tho nomination convention and elec tion at which he was a candidate. That Dr. Bieiler having taken tho oath required by the constitution of tin state of Pennsylvania, after he had been declared elected to tlie said olfico of coroner, did then and there commit wil ful and corrupt perjury. POLITICAL POINTERS. Dimminick Edingcr was nominated by the Democrats for chief burgess of Stroudsburg to fill the unexpired term of Burgess Palmer. A committee was appointed to inquire into tho legality of tlie burgess matter, whether the nomi nee fills out the unexpired term or Is elected for threo years. The committee learned that there was no legal right to nominate a burgess. They are elected for three years and if one resigns the court alone has the power to appoint. The same law applies to constables, as sessors and tax collectors. At the coming election Mauch Chunk people will vote upon the question of increasing the borough's indebtedness $35,000 for the purpose of paving the streets witli vitrified brick. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. Josiali S. Roth, who some years ago was a resident of Upper Lehigh, died last week at his home in Comenton, Le high county, aged 73 years.

The announcement that all the articles would be disposed of served to draw an unusually largo number of people to the hall, which was crowded until the names of the winners were announced. St. Ann's band was present. On Thursday evening the Citizens' band was present, and on Friday even ing Eckley Junior band attended.

New Cure for Klieuiuul lMll. A novel case was heard before Squire Harrlgun, of Wilkesbarre, last week. Fetor Coxe was the prosecutor and I)r. Stanley Weise the defendant. The latter was charged with practicing medicine illegally. 'Coxe said he paid him S2O to cure him of rheumatism. Wise put Coxe in a barrel, made him sit there on a bucket, with the water up to bis neck. Then the doctor put in three hot bricks for the patient's feet, then poured in a peck of sand and pickled the parboiled patient with two quarts of salt and sea soned him with a mixture consisting of vinegar mixed with salt. Weise kept Coxe in the pickling pro cess from 7 to 8 o'clock, standing beside tho barrel, the whole time wiping the perspiration from the sweltering pa tient's face and telling him the cure was progressing nicely. Coxe nearly lost his life by the operation. In default of bail Wise was committed to jail. Dentil of MM. ltose Welsh. _ Mrs. Rose Welsh died at Iter residence on Walnut street at an early hour Fri day morning. For three months past *lio iiad suffered severely from a compli cation of diseases and her death was not unexpected. Mrs. Welsh was one of the earliest residents of tho town and possessed a large circle of relatives and acquaintances in this vicinity. The deceased was tho widow of .the late James Welsh, who died on Sep 0. 1898. She was aged 55 years, and is survived by the following sons and daughters, all of whom reside in town; John J., Patrick, William, James F.. Thomas, Dominic, Condy, Francis and Misses Mary. Annie and Jfose. The funeral took placo at 9 o'clock this morning. A requiem mass was read at St. Ann's Catholic church, after which tho remains were interred beside those of her husband in St. Ann's ceme tery. Firemen Called Out. The firemen were called out shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning, and made another of tho quick responses for which Freoland's company is noted. It was thought that St. John's Reformed church was on fire, but an investigation showed that the janitor, S. Van horn, was engaged in lighting the furnace. The dense smoke arising and a bright light iu the basement led Rurgess (Jal lagher to believe the building was burn ing. Even after the firemen arrived on the scene with the apparatus and found that their services were not required, it still looked as if there was fire in the church other than that iu the furnace. Fortunately these suspicions proved un founded. Coal Company Itcuton. The lung-contested liquor cases from Lansford were settled by Carbon county court on Saturday. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company sought to dis possess several owners of property in that town because a clause in the deeds of the land, prohibiting the sale of liquor on ground bought from the cor poration, had been violated. The court decided that the Lehigh Coal and Navi gation Company had no power to inter fere with the laws of the state and dis missed the ejectment proceedings. Arson Case Postponed. The arson case of /emany vs. Jenkins was postponed on Thursday evening until tho April term of court. This case was set down for trial on Wednesday, and a number of witnesses spent two days at the county seat waiting for it to be called. Many people were inconvenienced by the delay, and not a few converts for for the new county have been made by ; tiiis case. It is unjust to prosecutors i and defendants and their witnesses that lower end cases are treated with such scant courtesy. j Boars tbo The Kind You Have Always Bought BRIEF ITEMS OF SEWS.
