Nummary of Important Bill* Lately Introduced—Deadlock I* Still On. The senatorial situation remains un changed. For more than four weeks ballots have been taken daily without result. The presence In the city the past few days of a number of leading Democratic politicuns of the state gave rise to the belief that they were hero to help break the deadlock. The unveiling of the handsome eques train statue of the late General John F. Hartranft on the capitol grounds, fac ing the new state house, will take place May 12 and will be an imposing event. President McKlnley has given his as surance that he will attend, as will also Secretaries Alger and Long and General Miles. A resolution lias been presented calling for the appointment of a legisla tive committee of five to assist in mak ing arrangements for the event. Another lot of bills have been pre sented, among the most important of which are these: Authorizing the elec tion of two triennial assessors in town ships and boroughs not divided into wards and one principlo assessor in boroughs and authorizing judges to ap point assessors in cases of vacancy. Another railroad bill compels railroad companies to equip their cars and loco motives with couplers, continuous brake and grade irons; their locomotives with driving wheel brakes; fixing a standard height for drawbacks for freight cars and engines, and to adjust, (ill or block all frog switches, guard rails and all other constructions which are a part of or are near their tracks so as to prevent the feet of employes from being caught therein. MILITARY BILLS. A bill pertaining to the National Guard has made his appearance. It provides that the Guard shall consist of 180 companies of infantry, live troop of cavalry, live batteries of artillery, four companies of engineers and a signal corps. There shall be one major gener al. The Guard shall conform to tho regulations of tho United States army. Another measure bearing on military matters provides for the organization of a reserve force, to be called out in case of war, to suppress riots and to assist the civil officers in the execution of the laws. The members shall bo enrolled by assessors, and shall include every male citizen between the ages of 21 and 45, except those mentally unsound, drunkards, paupers, convicts and state officials. Assessors are paid 3 cents for each name they report liable for military duty, and the county commissioners are directed to publish the list and sdnd the names to the adjustant general. HKKIt BILLS. A bill t<* tax beer, ale and porter brewed within the state, for revenue purposes, has again appeared, although a similar bill has deen defeated at every session since 1891, because tho brewers have been liberal contributors to cam paigns, and it is very likely that such contributions were made with the understanding that no adverse legis lation be passed, at least not until after tho session of 1901. Another beer bill offered is to repeal tho act of 1897, which requires manufacturers of liquors, wlio sold their product to licensed dealers only, to pay into the state treasury 81,000 a year for this privilege. This was one of a batch of revenue bills to help replenish the treasury and the brewers now want it repealed. Captain George W. Skinner, who was pension agent at liarrisburg during President Cleveland's last term, has in troduced a bill into the legislature pro viding pensions for Pennsylvanians who fought in the war of the rebellion. The rate of pension shall bo a monthly rate of one cent per day for each day served in tho war. Pensions shall not be paid to persons of grossly intemper ate habits. Attorneys or agents prose cuting claims aro not permitted to charge a fee of more than §lO for oach claim. Pensions granted under this act shall cease when congress shall provide pensions for tho class of soldiers receiv ing pensions under this act. A bill presented authorizes the Penn sylvania Canal Company to abandon the public use of that portion of its canal from Newton Hamilton to Duncan's island. This is in the interest of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company so that it may straighten and otherwise improve its tracks along tho canal. A bill in the interest of public health and emergency cases was offered which empowers school directors in townships to organize themselves as a board of health to prevent the spread of con tagious disease.

Schmidt died at It is homo on Washington street at 2.30 o'clock Friday morning. For some time past the deceased had been in feeble health, but his condition was not con sidered dangerous uut.il Thursday, when he was stricken with an apoplectic stroke. From the effects of this he did not rally, passing away calmly at the hour given above. Rev. Schmidt wa a native of Prussia, lie was horn August 9, 1827. From 1849 to 1851 he served as a soldier in the army of Prussia, after which ho came to America. He entered the Lutheran seminary at Gettysburg and began his studies for the ministry. In 1801 he was granted license to preach, and in 1803 he was ordained by the Allegheny synod. 11 is first charge was located at Al toona, then ho went to Ilollidaysburg. Trevertorf and White Ilaven. In the latter town ho spent from 1808 to 1875, coming hero in August of that year. Under his reign as pastor. St. Luke's Evangelical Lutheran church grew from a small congregation to one of the largest In town, and the devotion of the members to their pastor continued with out interruption until Rev. Schmidt voluntarily retired from active service in 1391. Since his retirement he maintained the same keen interest in religious af fairs which characterized him in earlier days, and ho was a constant attendant at the monthly meetings of the Lutheran Ministerial Association of tho Upper Lehigh Valley. Many papers of great importance were read by him at these meotings. By the people of town Rev. Schmidt was respected and esteemed, and his unexpected death caused many expres sion of sorrow from the people. Ho was a man of strong convictions, excellent judgment and his wide range of know ledge gave him high standing in the community. He took a deep interest i>i state and national affairs, and in his death the Democratic party lost a stead fast and consistent supporter. Rev. Schmidt is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna Louisa Newman Schmidt, to whom he was married in 18(52 at Gettys burg; also by five children, as follows: Mrs. Adolph Weiss, Wilkesbarre; Rev. N. F., Schwenksville; Miss Lulu, Free land; Corporal W. J., of Company M, Twelfth regular infantry, and Edgar 11., a student at Kutztown normal school. The funeral takes place at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Services will be con ducted by Rev. J. O. Sehlenker, Ilazle ton; Rev. L. Lindenstruth, Munch Chunk, and other clergymen. The in terment will be made in Freeland ceme tery. All tho childron of the deceased have arrived homo to attend the funeral ex cept William J. The latter's regiment left Mew York yesterday afternoon for Manila. Serious Accident at Drifton. Joseph l'etrutz, a young Austrian of Drifton who is employed as fan-runner at No. 2 colliery, recoived injuries at 9 o'clock yesterday morning which will confine him to his home for some time. In company with another employo lie undertook to run the air motor. A small truck which Is usually coupled to tho motor was pushed ahead. After running quite a distance the motor's speed was slackened, but the momentum of the truck, which was not coupled, was so great that it continued on its way. Petrutz was standing with one foot on tho motor and the other on the truck when the two parted. He lost bis balance and fell in front of the motor, but threw himself to one sido before tiie ponderous machine readied his body. One arm and one leg wore caught, how over, breaking the former and terribly lacerating the latter. His body was also considerably bruised. The young man was removed to his home. Lenten Organ ltecital. A Lenten organ recital will take place tomorrow evening, at 8.15 o'clock, at tho First Presbyterian church, Ilazie ton.

POLITICAL POINTERS. Intelligent observers give it as their opinion that George Keller. Democratic candidate for school director in Foster, will be a winner tomorrow boyond ques tion. His colleague. Edward Doudt, will not be far behind. Both men will receive the undivided support of their party, and each will get strong Republican support. This, it is said, has so demora lized their opponents that the latter havo struck out for themselves, Richards leaving nothing undone to carry himself through and Kimtuel doing likewise. If the voters of the First ward elect J. I*. McNeils to council they will be repre sented in that body by a young man who is a property owner, and therefore interested in the questions which council has to decide. His voice and vote may he depended upon for genuine reform and economy, and no corporation nor clique will own him. The same may be said of George Fisher, candidate for school director. He is worthy of the support of all. The office of township supervisor is not tho berth that some folks seem to think it is. The taxpayers never needed good men in this position more than they do today. Tho designs of the cor porations inust ho met and overcome, and this is what Supervisor McGuiro fearlessly did during his term when the abandonment of roads and other schemes wore afoot. Mr. McGu ire's actions deserve endorsement by re-elcctiug him. Foster Democrats were never more hopeful of victory since the nominations were made than they are today. Chair man McGlll lias assuring reports from every district in tho township, and from the detailed information at hand he, looks for the election of every candidate on the ticket. During his three years as councilman some time ago, A. A. Bach man made a record for himself as a careful legisla- i tor and a man who placed the interests ! of the taxpayers above all else in bor- 1 ough affairs. Such men are needed on j council again. Republican candidates in the uptown wards betray much uneasiness regard ing tomorrow's vote. Notwithstanding tho fact that these wards are overwhelm ingly Republican, the party's candi dates lind it necessary to work very hard this year. The next Republican county conven tion will vote upon the adoption of a revised set of rules. The new rules provide for the Crawford county system of making nominations. Down in the South ward there is a dead calm, tho Republican candidates making no effort to procure votes. All the Democratic nominees will have a walk-over. The candidates for fioor director did not make a very spirited contest for the office and little or no interest is taken in Freeland in the outcome. The TRIBUNE on Thursday will give its usual accurate reports of tho results of tomorrow's election. DRIFTON ITEMS. Miss Madge Boner returned to her homo here on Wednesday evening rrom Bayonne City, N. J. She is suffering from an abscess in her ear and is seriously ill from the effects. Dr. H. M. Neale has taken charge of the case, and Miss Boner's friends hope her recovery will soon follow. Andrew O'Donnell, one of our popular i young men, will receive a handsome voie here as Democratic candidate for clerk of Ilazle township. Thomas Young, who lately resigned as mine foreman at No. 5 Jeddo colliery, has accepted a similar position in No. 2 | colliery, Drifton. Daniel J.

Death was due to a com plication of diseases which had kept their victim bedfast for nearly two years. During this period Mrs. Sweeney suffered intense pain at times and her death had been expected on several occasions.

Montgomery, a Ilazieton florist, has been placed under §I,OOO bail to appear in court and answer the charge of attempting to hang Bertha Greising, aged 10 years. The crime was committed on February 11 in Mont gomery's greon-bouse, after ho had enticed the child there with money and flowers. He placed a rope around her neck, stood bor on a box, then tied tho rope and removed her support, holding her there until she fainted. Montgomery says ho was "experi menting.'' It is.believed that the man is demented, and that his experiments were planned witli a view of learning how hanging would suit his own suicid al views. Neiv Manager for Opera House. The Young Men's Corps yesterday afternoon elected Patrick McGechan, of West Walnut street, as manager of the Grand opera house to succeed George McLaughlin, Esq.. who presented his resignation some time ago on account of lack of time to give tho position proper attention.
