Harrfsburg, Pa., February 24. 1899.
In the event that the legislature
should adjourn without electing a sena
tor, what steps would be taken to fill
the vacancy, Is giving rise to consider
able speculation at present. It looks, at
this period, as if no election could be
made, for each one of the three con
tending forces are just as determined
today as they were when the first ballot
was taken, and this determination will
hardly be changed by any subsequent
event that may transpire. Some seem
to think that if such a thing should
happen Governor Stone would be able
to till the vacancy by appointing Senator
Quay as bis successor.
This is rather doubtful, however, as
the United States senate has on three
separate occasions refused to admit
claimants to seats thus appointed, the
last being in the case of Judge Corbett,
of Oregon, a year ago. The power of
appointment only applies when a va
cancy happens by resignation or other
wise during the recess of the legislature.
Such appointment only holds good until
the next meeting of the legislature,
which shall then fill such vacancy. The
law does not specifically say what action
shall be taken in the event the legisla
ture fails to elect, and it looks very much
as Pennsylvania would be with but one
senator for the next two years.
THE FIRST HILL.
The first bill to be passed by this ses
sion, nearly seven weeks after its open
ing. was the constable's fee bill. This
measure pertains to the regulating of
fees of constables while In attendance j
at elections and courts. The bill has
been signed by the governor and takes !
effect at once.
The Magee juror's bill, which is
similar to the* McCarrell bill, has gotten
through the senate and been report
nd from the judiciary general committee
in the house. While, however, in the
committee, it was amended making it
contain the main features of the New
York jury act. The bill will take its
regular course through the house and
should it bo hurried by its friends it
may meet tho fate of the McCarrell bill.
TO CHANOE BLUE LAWS.
A bill that wiil meet with strong op
position by the church people of the
state, wants to amend the Sunday law
of 1795. to extend the time for selling
milk on Sunday from 9 to 11 o'clock; to
permit the sale of ice but not by delivery
wagon or other vehicle; the printing and
sale of newspapers, but not by public
outcry; shaving until 11 a. m., and the
carrying on of bath house business and
tho running of street cars, all of which
are done every Sunday without permis
sion of the law.
A bill has been offered by Representa
tive Allen, of Philadelphia, to repeal
the act which authorizes the principals
and teachers of schools to exclude
pupils who have not been vaccinated or
have not had smallpox. Mr. Allen is
president of a school board in Philadel
phia and believes the present bill is
unnecessary. This is tho law which
occasioned a number of law suits and
much unpleasantness in several parts of
the state during the past few years
wherever there was a smallpox scare.
AN APPORTIONMENT BILL.
A now apportionment bill has made
its appearance in the house. It pro
vides that until the next decennial
United States census tho house shall
consist of 202 members, two less than
now. Philadelphia's representation re
mains tho same, Alleghany gets four 1
new members; Blair, Cambria, Clear
tield, Jefferson, Luzerne and Lacka
wanna each get one additional member,
while Adams, Bedford, Bradford, Ches
ter, Clarion, Columbia, Crawford, Hunt
ingdon, Lawrence, Mercer, Northum
berland, Somerset and Wayne each
loose one.
A bill which is intended to kill the
oleomargarine and imitation butter
business in original packages has been
presented. It provides that no person,
corporation or (inn shall expose for sale
any imitation of butter, except it be in
a form that will not deceive the public,
and the person, corporation or firtn hav
ing oleomargarine or butterine for sale
must pay an annual license fee of SI,OOO
if a manufacturer, SSOO if a wholesaler,
and SIOO if a retailer. The bill also
provides that each package of imitative
butter must bo labelled in large letters.
Restaurants which use oleomargarine
or butterine must pay a license of SSO
a year and boarding houses $25. All
licenses are accompanied by signs, is
sued by the dairy and food commission
ers. setting forth that oleomargarine or
butterine is sold or used on tho premises,
and these signs must be displayed in a
conspicuous place. Any person, firm or
corporation violating any provisions of
the act shall be subject to a fine of from
SIOO to SSOO.
The bunking department of the state
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1899.
is In need of some special legislation
and several bills to that end have been
offered In the senate. One bill calls for
a deputy banking commissioner; another
limits the amount of loans to officers
and directors of banks, trust companies
and savings institutions to in per cent
of the capital stock actually paid iu and
surplus, and in making loans to firms or
bouses iu which they may be interested,
directly or indirectly, to 2." per centum
of the capital stock paid in and surplus.
NEW BANKING HILI.H.
, The third bill wants directors of
banks, trust companies and other finan
cial institutions, in declaring a quarter
ly or semi-annual dividend, shall pay the
dividend not later than fifteen days after
it is declared, and if the directors or
trustees shall make dividends impairing
their capital they shall be jointly and
severally held liable. The fourth pro
vides for the submission to the commis
sioner of banking for his approval the
charters of financial institutions and
requiring building and loan associations
chartered by the state to register in the
banking department therein when such
associations close their business.

on invitation of his colleagues delivered

ELECTION ECHOES.
The famous Cork Lane district of
Pittston township had its annual fracas
on Tuesday evening. The closing of
the poll was the signal for a general
disturbance and in the melee that fol
lowed the ballot box was battered aud
hammered, dinged and damaged, but
emerged from the row with its contents
uninjured. One faction of the board
captured the box, but was unable to find
a place where tho votes could bo count
ed, and in desperation parted it off to
the court bouse, twelve miles distant.
The other faction followed up the sacred
tin-can, but could not wrest it from its
protectors, and it was finally landed in
Prothonotary Dasch's office. Fearing
an attempt might be made to steal it,
Clerk Mulligan and a friend were given
Winchester rifles and guarded it Wed
nesday night. Next morning it was
carried into court, and Judgo Wood
ward placed the box and election board
under a strong guard and had the vote
counted without further troublo.
There was a hot electiou over in old
Ruck Mountain (Lausanne township)
last week % The Democratic school di
rectors received 20, 18 and 17 votes
against 10, 10 and 14 cast for the Repub
licans, electing John McTaguo, M. Mc-
Monigal and Charles Rasbline. J. Va
litzky and S. Gladkosky won for super
visors, receiving 18 and 17 votes respec
tively against their Democratic oppo
nents' 10 and 15. A Democratic auditor
was elected by a majority of 1, and
Schwartz and Lieb tied for poor director
at 17.
Jacob Kull, judge of election, and
John Murry, one of the inspectors in
Norwegian township, Schuylkill county,
are under SSOO hail each for refusing to
accept the vote of Michaels Connors.
When Connors sought to cast his ballot
he was challenged. Connors conducts
a business in Pottsville, but claims
residence in the township. The board
refused to accept his ballot.
The vote of the poor district will be
officially counted tomorrow.. The fig
ures at present show the following
results: Lelb, 5,020; Schwartz, 4,627;
Leib's majority, 300. In Carbon Lieb
had a majority of 507, while Schwartz
carried Luzerne by 108. ltosenstock
has 1,283 more votes than McGill for
poor auditor.
Mauch Chunk on Tuesday voted on
the question of increasing the bonded
indebtedness of the borough $35,000 for
the purpose of brick-paving the streets.
The measure was dofeatod by 240 votes.
Lawyer Strauss has given notice in
court that he will contest the election of
B. J. McManus as treasurer of Wilkes
barro. He represents Marcus Smith, a
defeated aspirant for the position.
In the Tkihunk returns on Thursday
the vote of Patrick McGuire at East
Poster for supervisor was given as 42.
This should have read 22.
DeafueNM Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un
less the iritiaiDHrion can be taken out
and this tube restored to it normal con
dition, hearing will be dostroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot he cured by Hall's Catarrh

Arrested for Stealing Mules.
Four youths of Yorktown became
imbued on Saturday evening with the
idea that they should attend the fair in
Freelaud, and not wishing to pay the
excessive fares charged on the trolley
road they proceeded to the mule stable
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company.
There each boy mounted a mule, and
an hour later they galloped up Ridge
street with as much noise as a troap of
Cuban cavalry.
Shortly after their departure from
Yorktown the mules wero missed and a
search was immediately begun by the
coal company officials. The services of
the coal and iron police of the region
were called for, and all had to turn out
to pursue the youths.
A telephone message from Drifton
not!lied the searchers that the mules
had passed through that town, headed
for Freelaud, and Stable Boss Crane ar
rived here about 12 o'clock. By that
time the young men had started home
ward, Crane missing them on the road
somewhere.
At Harleigh, however, the riders ran
into a bunch of officers, and one of the
hoys, John Conway, was captured. The
other three;, John Hurmau, James Mc-
Sliea and Francis Dougherty, were
rounded up in Hazlctou, and all four
were placed under arrest.
They will be given a hearing at
Audonried today. The boys drive the
mules in the mines and claim they
thought it was no harm to take a ride
on them after working hours.
A Jeddo Wedding.
At Jeddo on Saturday evening Bon
bon, a son of Solomon Bittner, and Miss
Bertha, a daughter of John Tyson, were
united in marriage at the home of the
bride's parents. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Snvder pastor of
Jeddo Methodist church, and was wit
nessed by the relatives of the contract
ing parties.
Yesterday morning the young couple
left for Hazloton, where they boarded a
train for New York and will spend a |
week sight-seeing in the largo cities.
I'pon their return Mr. and Mrs Bittner
will begin housekeeping at Jeddo.
Botli the grooin and bride have been
residents of Jeddo since their childhood
and they have the best wishes of a host
of friends.
Gored to Death by a Dull.
From the YVhitc Haven Journal.
William Sommer, a farmer 02 years
old, living in Denison township near
White Haven, was gored by a bull last
Tuesday and sustained injuries that rc
sulted in his death Thursday afternoon.
The bull was tied in the yard and Mr.
Sommers, who was electioneering, had
on his good clothes whon Jje went to let
the bull loose. The bull thinking lie |
was a stranger made a plunge, striking
him in the abdomen.
Mr. Sommer was unable to rise with
out assistance. He was taken to the
house and physicians called who did
everything to relieve him. Inflamma
tion set in however and lie died after
suffering for two days.
Anthracite Coal Trade.
The anthracite coal trade shows a
firmer tone, the result of an increased
demand and a restricted output, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. The sit
uation indicates, however, that stocks
in the East in consumers' hands, as well
as in dealers yards, are greatly reduced,
and this points to a good movement
later in tho year, when the season be
gins. The control of the trade seems
to rest entirely in tho hands of the man
agers of tho producing interest, and if
they keep the tonnage down, as now
seems likely, the trade in the summer
ought to be good.
Funeral Yesterday.
The funeral of the late John McCahill
took place yesterday afternoon from the
residence of his father-in-law, James
Gallagher, Drifton. Notwithstanding
the inclement weather overhead, and
the dangerous walking, the funeral was
one of tho largest that has left Drifton
for some time. St. Ann's Parish band
proceeded the cortege, rendering a
funeral dirge, which added to the
solemnity of the occasion. Many floral
offerings from friends, relatives and
fellow-workers wore carried.
Former Resident Killed.
Thomas Simmons, who some years ago
was a resident of Highland, was killed
on Thursday in the mines at Buck-
Mountain, Schuylkill county, by a fall
of coal. The deceased was also a resi
dent of Audonried for several years, aud
had a largo acquaintance throughout
tho Lehigh region.
The remains arrived here on Saturday
afternoon and were interred in Free
land cemetery. He was 52 years of age.

,lames T. Mulhearn, the wol! known
Carbon county politician, contemplates
the erection of a #25,000 brewery in
Lansford to compote with the cheap
boors now on the market. He claims
that lie can make good beer at prices
that will defy competition. More than
enough capital has offered to make it a

decided that the license of a liquor
dealer living In one county does not
vest him witli the right to solicit orders
in another county, if the decision is
enforced it will break up a thriving
business that has been conducted In the
county by Luzerne and Schuylkill liquor
vendors.
