WITH THE LAW-MAKERS.
NOTES AND COMMENTS FROM THE
PENNSYLVANIA CAPITAL.
Trpwury Looter* Ank fur nn Additional
Appropriation of $2,000,000 to Com
plete the New Capitol—No Hills Have
Yet Reached the Governor.
Harrisburg, Pa., February 10.
Although the capitol building com
mission, through its representative.
Senator McCarrell, declared that it
would not ask for an additional appro
priation to complete the present struc
ture, yet such a bill, originated by Rep
reseniative lias-ton, of Vonango. found
its way into the house. The now bill
wants $2.000,0QU to complete the build
ing and furnish it. It also names a list
of commissioners who are expected to
servo without pay. The bill further
states that the present building'may be
completed, remodeled or removed, as
the commission sees fit, or a new one
erected on revised plans. It also re
peals the act of 1897 providing for the
erection of a capitol building at an ex
penditure of $550,000.
A bill that would worry railroad com
panies considerably should it become a
law, was presented by Representative
llet.li, of Lehigh. It is aimed at grade
crossings. His bill provides that rail
roads hereafter to be built shall not
cross highways or streets at grade.
Bridges are to be erected to carry the
highways or streets over the tracks.
The courts are gi\en power to revoke
Bio chart,or of companies violating this
act. The same member presents an act
making it a fine of SSOO for first offense
ind SI,OOO for each subsequent violation
>f any railroad that shall employ in its
lassenger coaches any heating appara
tus containing lire.
The McCarrell jurors' bill has passed
through the senate and started in the
house. It was first thought the bill
would go through with a rush, but a
motion to postpone consideration of it
until March 21 prevailed on Thursday.
I'his was a hard blow to Quay's friends.
A bill that will produce a hawl from
the taxpayers of the state, when fully
known, is fathered by Senator Brown,
of Philadelphia. It abolishes five places
>u capitol hill, such as engineers and fire
men, which are not needed, with salaries
amounting to about $5,000 annually,
ind creates new places to the number of
ibout thirty-nine, such as assistant door
keepers; clerks to committees; mes
sengers to committees; janitors; property
clerks; watchmen; pages and transcrib
ing clerks, with salaries ranging from
12 to $0 per day. Also, for the. lieuten
ant governor, a clerk, at $1,4u0 per
annum, and a page at $2 per day. For
the board of commissioners of public
buildings and grounds, one superinten
dent of lighting, heating and ventilat
ing appliances, at SI,BOO a year; three
assistants, at $1,200 a year. Should
the bill become a law the increase in
expenses would amount to about $25,000
inn ually.
The members are considerably an
noyed that the city is placarded with
posters offering large rewards for infor
mation that will lead to tho conviction
of any member of the legislature guilty
of accepting a money consideration for
liis vote. This led Representative Fos
ter, of Montour, to offer a resolution
calling for a committee of nine, to be
composed of three Republicans, three
Independents and three Democrats, to
consider the best means of securing said
rewards. If successful, the money is to
lie used in sending petitions to their
constituents to ascertain whom they
desire elected United States senator;
balance, if any, to be used in establish
ing a training school for new members
of the legislature.
An income tax bill has been presented
by Senator Gibson. It taxes gains,
profits or incomes from any kind of
of proporty, rents, interests, dividends
or salary, or from any profession, trade,
employment or vocation carried on in
this state. The rate of tax runs from
one-tenth of one per centum on all sums
between SI,OOO and J55.000, on up.
Judging from the reception of similar
measures in the past, this one will fall
wide of ever becoming a law in Pennsyl
vania.

bill which is something similar to the
McCarrell bill: The Magee bill has
been favorably reported from tbe com
mittee and is ready for first reading in
the senate. It is estimated that this
bill may supplant the McCarrell bill
should it be found that the latter will
not be able to get through the house.
A resolution has passed the house
endorsing President Mclvlnley's views
on the expansion question and inviting
him to Harrisburg as the guest of the
state,
Israel Durham, newly appointed in
surance commissioner, is anxious to
have I)is salary increased, so he lias had a
new bill introduced into the legis'aturo
requiring insurance companies to file
semi annual reports at $lO a report.
This would increase the salary of the
commissioner from $3,000 to $4,000
yearly.
There are corporations doing business
in Pennsylvania, known as "fast freight
lines" that have millions of dollars in
vested, and yet the records of the treas
ury department do not show that these
corporations havo paid taxes as required
by law. A resolution was offered in the
seuate requesting that there shall be a
committee appointed to examine care
fully into this matter and make report
by March 15.
No bills have yet reached the execu
tive. A few resolutions received his
signature Jast week. There have been
hundreds of bills presented; a few passed
the senate and a Tew the house, but as
yet none is in any way near becoming a
' aw - Nissley.
Bishop O'Hara Laid at Best.
Right Kev. William O'Hara, first
bishop of the Scrauton diocese, was laid
at rest on Thursday in a crypt under
the sanctuary of his cathedral. Most of
stores in the central part of the city
closed during the hours that the obse
quies wore in progress. The whole
front of the cathedral, the porch and
windows of the episcopal residence, and
St. Thomas' college adjoining, and St.
Cecilia's cop vent across the avenue,
were sombor in their heavy drapings of
black.
With all its wealth of ritual, the
Roman Catholic Church lias nothing iu
its ritual more impressive than the pon
tifical requiem mass with which the in
terment of Bishop O'Hara was attended.
Twico only lias this solemn and grandly
picturesque ceremony been witnessed in
this diocese. The former occasion was
when Pope Pius IX died. This mass is
celebrated only at the death of a pro
late.
A choir of fifteen priests from Phila
delphia under the direction of Father
O'Keefe, rector of the •Philadelphia
cathedral, sang the music of the mass.
Archbishop Ryan, Philadelphia, pre
sided at the office which preceded the
mass, which was celebrated by Ut. ltev.
M. J. Llubau, coadjutor of the dead
bishop.
The eulogy was pronounced by Rt.
Rev. Bishop Ilorstiiiauu, of Cleveland,
0., who was a professor at St. Charles
Borromeo seminary w hen Bishop O'Hara
was its president. Ills tribute was
beautiful and touching. In the sanctu
ary during the mass were Archbishop
Ryan, Bishop Fitzmaurice, of Erie;
Bishop McQuade, of Rochester; Bishop
Prondergast, of Philadelphia; Bishop
Burke, of Albany, and Bishop McFatil.
of Trenton, and about 200 priests. After
the mass the absolution of iho body was
pronounced by Archbishop Ryan, assist
ed by Bishops Hoban, Fitzmaurice,
Prendergast and McFaul. When the
remains wore placed in the crypt pray
ers were chanted by the priests.
The sacerdotal pall-bearers were: Rev.
John Loughran, of Minooka; Rev. P. C.
Nagol, of Wilkesbarre; Rev. B. Graml
evicz, of Nanticoke; Rev. John Costello,
ofSayre;Rev. John Koeper, of Williams
port; Rev. R. A. McAndrew, of Wilkes
barre; Rev. John P. O'Malley, of Kings
ton, aud Rev. M. F. Crane, of Avoca.
Bisbop O'Hara's will was filed at
Scranton on Friday. All the church
property of the diocese, valued at over
$2,000,000, is left to his successor, and
all his personal property is given to
Bishop Boban, his assistant.
No Damages for Austria.
The state department, after mature
consideration, lias decllnod to recognize
the claim of the Austro-Hungarian
government for indemnity an account
of the Hungarian strikers killed by
Sheriff 'Martin's posse at Lattimer on
September 10, 1897. The claim has
been pending for many months upon
basis of a report filed with the state
department by Robert D. Coxe, the rep
resentative of the Austro-llungarian
govern ment.
The department's action is based
npon a special opinion prepared by Soli
citor W. L. Penliold, covering the entire
field of national responsibility iu such
cases of mob violence or rioting, which
probably will form tho basis of future
decisions in that line.
In his position Solicitor Penflcld goes
over so much of the evidence produced
upon the trial of Sheriff Martin as seem
ed to be necessary to establish tho facts
briefly and then concludes with a state
ment of the principles by which the de
partment of state is bound.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Interest In the election in the First
and Third wards is daily increasing.
In the former Mr. Fisher's chances to
bo elected school director are very
bright and Mr. McNeils is proving a
formidable candidate for council. Both
men are strong in their own party and
have assurances of much Republican
help. A similar condition of affairs ex
ists in the Third, where Mr. Bachman
is said to be gaining daily.
With but little over a week to heal up
differences, the Republican factions of
Foster township are as far apart today
as they were immediately after the con
vention. The opposition to the candi
dates appears to be too deep-seated to
ho removed during the coming week,
and the Democrats look forward with
great hopes of success on election day.

ton street, began a commercial course

j THE ARIZONA KICKER.
l'litrt !■ Much Excitement la Editorial
Life in the Wait.
i Tuesday afternoon last, us we were
busy at our editorial table, a stranger
entered and began tiring at us with
two guns. We were too surprised to
do any dodgirg, ana our nearest pistol
was ten feet away. It was all over in
fifteen seconds, however, and the
shooter lmd fired twelve bullets with
out even grazing our hide. There were
two holes in the back of our chair,
three through the stovepipe behind
us. and a wall received the other
bullets. We rose up after awhile and
took the man by the neck and slammed
him around until he begged for mercy.
I He gave his name as Elk ins, and said
he was on his way from Salt Lake to
Prescott. When he arrived here It
struck him to try an experiment. He
had a curiosity to know whether an
editor would fight, and what an editor
would say in his dying moments. As
a matter of fact, ho had nothing
, against us. and when the affair was
over he subscribed for "The Kicker"
and paid two years in advance. That
| was the first time we had sat down
without a gun within reach for five
years, and nobody need plan on the
I idea that we. will do It again. Ilad we
! been "heeled" Mr. Elk Ins would now
jbe sleeping with his forefathers,
i Nevertheless, he got enough at our
hands to satisfy him that the editorial
i fraternity of Arizona is not to be
>■ walked on, and that any experiments
I with the era ft may result in springing
the bear-trap.

After the new servant had been in

housewife the day finally eaine when
the privilege of "going out" had to be
decided on. This fell on a Thursday,
to which the mistress assented.
"You may go to-day, Bridget," she
said, "and every other Thursday."
"All right, ma'am," replied Bridget.
The next week on Thursday surprise
was great at Bridget's coming from
j ber room all togged out for another
1 afternoon out. The mistress rebelled
and asked her if she remembered that
she was to go out only every other
Thursday.
"Certainly 1 do, ma'am, certainly!
Didn't you say I could go out that
i Thursday and 'every other Thursday'—
I That Thursday and every Thursday
afterward?"
"No! No!" replied the mistress, "that
[ Thursday and every secoud Thursday
I thereafter."
"Sure you didu't say so. You posi

every Thursday."
