Capitol Building Commission Tells How It Squandered Over Half a Million Dollars—lnterest in Senatorial Contest Is Waning—Taxes Must Be Increased. Harrisburg, Pa., March 23, 1895). Tho most important event of the week was tho presentation of the report of the capitol building commission. As was expected, the appropriation of 8550,000 which was made by the last legislature for a completed capitol build ing, so expressly stated, has been nearly expended, but the structure is but half finished. The report relates all the work done by the commission, tells of its trials and tribulations with competing architects and deals at length with Gov ernor Hastings' action in leaving the commissioners' meetings. The financial statement shows that of the 8550,000 appropriated there has been paid out $499,010.26, and there re mains 840,155.07 yet to pay. Among the items paid were: Architectural Ad viser Laird, 81,900; invited ar chitects. 80,000; Architect Cobb, $24.- 325. attorneys' fees, 80,000; Contract or Rorko, 8492,312.93. In closing, the committee says that in view of the limitation of cost im posed on it, and the vaiious delays to which it was subjectod, it believes it lias ACCOMPLISHED TIIF. WORK as well as could have been done; that the building is not handsomely decorat ed, because of the lack of funds. The building at present, however, meets all the necessary requirements and provides convenient and comfortable* accomoda tions for legislative work. The build ing in its present shape can bo used for legislative purposes for many years without the expenditure of any addi tional money. The question of surfac ing is one that is left to the wisdom of the general assembly. Interest iu the senatorial contest may not be abating, but it is spreading over a larger surface, and Is conse quently becoming less intense here at Harrisburg. The voting is a merely perfunctory operation now even on days when the attendance is compara tively good, and altogether so far as the halls of tho legislature are concern ed the light has degenerated into a listless "bffair. It is not freely stated, but nevertheless seems certain, that no one has an idea now of an election at tills session. The members of tho genoral assembly are growing weary of tho prolonged struggle and AI.L SORTS OK SUGGESTIONS are made to avert the evil. A number of gentlemen have been discussing tho feasibility of only holding one real ballot each week. That is to say it has been proposed that on each day, except Wednesday or Thursday, most of the senators and members pair and thus re duce tho attendance to less than a quorum and the session to the brief period occupied now on Saturday and Monday. As it is obvious that there can be no election it is reasoned that such a course would serve to fulfill the law and give more time to general legis lation. Thus far, however, no course has been agreed on and for tho present, at least, things will go on as usual. Many members are giving serious thought to the stand taken by Governor Stone, who advocates cutting down the appropriation to tho public schools. They realize that the state has been gradually increasing this appropriation from session to session until today it consumes half the revenues of the state, and yet the school term has not been lengthened; the pay of teachers has not been increased. In the cities the direct tax for purposes has not been lessened, while IX MANY COUNTRY DISTRICTS the state's bounty has been substituted for the school taxes that were formerly laid. So they naturally wonder what lias become of ail this money, or why should the state continue to pay this enormous sum when the general con dition is no bettor than it was before this great amount of money was given to this object. The bribery investigating committee held a session during the week and con siderable evidence was secured. It Is believed that criminal action will be brought against several persons impli cated in the charges. The financial condition of tho state treasury is still giving the members of The legislature, having that part in charge, and the gevornor, considerable trouble. Tho expenses for tho next fiscal year, including $2,000,000 for furnishing the capitol, will be about $18,000,000. To offset this there is only $11,087,000 in sight. This would leave a deficit of about seven millions. Now where to raise this money is the ques tion? TAXES TO BK INCREASED. The personal property tax was tho pet measure of the governor, but as the bulk of this loss would fall on the citios Vf Philadelphia and Pittsburg, it is thought It must be abandoned, so these FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1899. legislative financiers will try to in crease tho capital stock of corporations one mill; double the tax on tho premiums of foreign insurance companies; put one mill on the stock of manufacturing cor porations and a five mill tax on the stock of artificial gas companies. If all these revenue measures should be passed the state's income would bo increased about five millions, and leave the treasury in much better shape. The barbers of the state are asking the legislature to enact some legisla tion for them. The bill authorizes the proper officials of the state board of health and local boards of health to inspect the sanitary arrangements and conditions of barber shops within the commonwealth and to observe the methods used by the barbers, of a sanitary nature, with reference to the prevention of the spread of infectious or contagious diseases. The bill also requires a state board of five barbers and every barber in the state must register with the board and pay a license of 31b. There are about 8,000 barbers in tho state who would be af fected by this law. Nissley. Says They Are Kohliing the County. County Controller Lloyd has withheld payment of bills of alderman and con stables amounting to about 310,000 until he can investigate them, lie says that certain justices, aldermen and con stables, who art\ practicing a system of fleecing the county, sit in their offices and manufacture cases, using fictitious names, Polish and Slavish, and making it almost impossible to track them. Mr. Lioyd also say they pollect costs from litigants in many of the genuine cases, and then collect them again from the county as discharged or ignored cases, and use several other methods, such as multiplying the counts, duplicat ing the cases, etc. Controller Lloyd said that these casos have cost the county for the past five years an average of 330,000 a year, which will be increased now under tho new constable foe bill to fully $4().ooo this year, unless something is done. He claims that not over $5,000 of that j amount was aetual legal costs, and that if he was authorized to spend an amount not exceeding 31,000 for detective fees lie was satisfied that from ten to seventy five of those who practice such frauds on the county could be convicted of mis demeanor in office and fraudulently ob taining money from tho county, and tbat it would break up the nefarious practice and savo tho county at least 3-5,000 a year. Wealliorly'H N*v Gun Factory. Tho negotiations for tho location of a gun factory at Weatherly were conclud ed last week and the work of shipping tho machinery, which is at Florence, Mass., will begin at an early date. Tho gun to be manufactured is known as the Whitney safety hammcrless gun. A company has been organized for its manufacture witli a capital of 3550,000. Weatherly had to raise 3-5,000 to secure the plant. This amount was raised by John . McCarthy, Messrs. Read and Lovatt and a few others. The people of Weatherly have also submitted a proposition to the Campbell Printing Press and Manufacturing Com panp, of New York city, to locate branch works there. Tills is an immense con cern, employing several thousand men, and has large works at Brook- Ivn, N. Y., and Taunton, Mass. Yl'llkcfthiirreana Muttf Hustle. Congress granted an appropriation to erect a handsome public building at Wilkosbarre, but the citizens of that place will have to bestir themselves ac tively within the next few weeks if they wish to see the long-looked-for edifice constructed within a reasonable time. A site must yet be selected (to meet the approval of a commission from Wash ington) and the legislature of the state cede all jurisdiction over the property to the United States government before the treasury'department can expend any money for the location. As all these preliminaries must be attended to before the state legislature adjourns on April 20, the Wilkesbarreans must move-live ly or the matter must lay over until the legislative session of J. 901.

Xeceanary Amount. HUH Been Subscribed to Locate the Plant Here. There is no longer any doubt of the location of the plant of the Salmon-Cross Axle and Box Manufacturing Company. Freeland has responded to the call for subscriptions to the SIO,OOO worth of bonds witli a readiness that, is gratifying to the projectors, and with the assur ance that the money will be forthcoming as soon as called for the stockholders of the proposed company have made prep arations to organize immediately and erect the necessary buildings and pro cure machinery as soon as possible. The energetic soliciting committee of rhe Hoard of Trade met on Friday even ing in the Firemen's rooms and after adding the amounts on the different papers found that they still lacked part of the necessary SIO,OOO for the estab lishment of the plant. A discussion as to where the plant will be located took place, but that being the duty of the company to decide no action was taken. It was stated that there are parties residing in both parts of town willing to subscribe the balance of the money needed as soon as a site is chosen. It was learned, however, that the company will chose a sfto alongside or near the railroad. Mr. Salmon explained his invention and tho probabilities of its sale, for the benefit of some of those present who bad not heard him before. Mr. Cross then took the floor aud thanked the members of the committee for the spirit of enterprise displayed in their endeavor to establish an iron plant in town. He also explained his inventions and told of how the jobbing part of tho plant, if properly conducted, might prosper aside from the articles which they at present contemplate manufacturing. Mr. Cross further stated that his business in town now was to perfect the organization of the company, after which he expected to go to Washington on business. He stated that as far as he was concerned he was financially able and tbat lie had a partner who would be responsible for one-half the money subscribed and would guarantee that interest would be paid promptly. He considered that townspeople had sufficient confidence in Mr. Salmon to do likewise. Testimonials to the character and honesty of Mr. Cross from the time lie learned the machinist trade to the pres ent day were read from different parties. It was decided to moot Friday even ing, the company to get together and organize and select a site if possible iu the meantime. The following are the amounts of sub scriptions received by each of the soliciting committees: Dr. N. Maley and A. liudewick, $1,830; Geo. T. Blown, Esq., and A. Oswald, $1,060; J. P. Mc- Donald and John Shigo, $1,250; G. N. Vanaflker and Hugh Malloy, $1,030; M. Schwabe and A. Goeppert, $900; W. E. Oberrender and Patrick Meehan, $870; George Christian and 11. C. Koons, $700;- Goorge Wiimot and Robert llinkle, $560: total, SB,BOO. Citizens of tho South ward and citizens of the Third ward stand ready to sub scribe the balance as soon as the loca tion of the plant is stated by the com pany. PERSONALITIES.
