Talk of an Kxtra Hennion to Finish Up the Work of the Legislature—Hundreds of Bills Defeated or Smothered in Committees Bicycle Tax Bill Passed. llarrisburg, Pa., April 21, 1899. The closing hours of the legislature which lias just adjourned wore unevent ful, and indeed this may be said of the entire session, except that part of its work relating to the election of a sena tor. On this point many former friends have been turned to bitter enemies, many reputations have been smirched, many promisos have been broken and the dominant party has been rent in twain beyond all hopes of reconciliation, except such as may come by the com plete supremacy of one or the other of the two powerful factions. Both the governor and the legislature disposed of quite a lot of business dur ing the week, but when adjournment came the state was left without the the passage of any bills changing the ballot; both the Martin and Keater bills were badly defeated. Tills, too, after pledges made by the Republican party. There were throe bills which were to complete the new capitol building and all went down. The session of 1897 attended the unveiling of the Washington uionu meut at Philadelphia, but failed to pay its bills. This session measures have been presented which wero to authorize tin; parties hqlding claims against the legislature for this junket to bring suit to recover the same. The bill, however, was defeated. Governor Stone has signed the follow ing new laws: Authorizing the courts to enter an order granting to the proper officers of charitable institutions the right to indenture minor children. To provide for tho preparation and publication of the names and records of Pennsylvania volunteers in tho Spanish- American war, and making an appro priation of S6OO for the clerical work in connection therewith. Making an appropriation of $5,000 for the payment of the expenses of the inauguration of the governor. Extending the benefits to the Soldiers' Orphan Industrial schools to tiie chi - dren of honorably discharged soldier, sailors and marines of the Spanish war. House resolution requiring the sec retary of the navy to detail the cruiser Raleigh to attend the Grant monument unveiling at Philadelphia; senate resolu tion thanking the Tenth Pennsylvania for their services and appointing a con - mittee to welcome the command home; house resolution to have present a portion of the National Guard at the Hartranft statue unveiling; constituting the school directors of the several bor oughs a board of health; providing for the payment of the expenses of the last military election; granting consent to the acquisition by tho United States of land at Wilkesbarre for the erection of a postoftice; providing for tho construc tion and maintenance of side paths along the highways in townships for the use of bicycles and pedestrians; provid ing for the appointment of side path commissioners, prescribing their duties and the duties of the assessors in the assessment of bicycles, and providing for levying, collecting and disbursement of a tax of $1 on bicycles. Requiring the holders, owners as assignee or mortgagees of real esta e to furnish to the recorder of deeds of the county in which the mortgage or as sessment is recorded the full name, residence (including street number) and the address of such holder, owner or assignee, and suid recorder shall forth with certify same to the office of the county commissioners. Empowering the owners or lessees of land used for public park purposes to make rules and regulations governing the use of any public roads within the limits of said park. BILLS VETOED. The governor has vetoed a concurrent resolution authorizing the appointment of two senators and throe members to inquire into the alleged infraction of the law by the Susquehanna Canal Company. The governor also returned without his approval tho following bills: To enlarge the competency of the wife to testify against her husband.

The Buck Mountain correspondent of Weatherly Herald has the following in Saturday's issue of that paper: "Mike Sindick, our constable, was at Freeland on businoss last Sunday. While there lie was arrested by one of the special police of that place, for what reasons we do not know. While going up to the squire's office the officer wanted Mike to give him $5 and he would let him go, but Mike is not as green as ho looks. 1 He went to the squire's office and when ho stated his story he was left go. This must be a new way for some of the offi cers of that place to mike pocket money. If so, I would advise them to stop it irpmedlatoly before they are caught." Cons-tib'e Sindicki was |hero on the day mentioned and was arrested by Special Officer Louis Hess. He was given a hearing by Burgess Gallagher, who found him guilty on the officer's testimony and fined him $5, which was paid by a Freeland gentleman. In con versation with several people here after his release Sindick asserted that the officer offered him his release for $5 and that he refused the proposition. Mr. Hess should now give his version of the affair, as the allegation is a serious one and he cannot afford to let it go un noticed. Catarrh Cannot He Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mifbous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in gredients is what produces such wonder ful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CH ENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O.

For a week or more past Mrs. Gallagher was suffering from one of the melancholy spells to which she had been subjected for some years past, and this, with a weak constitution and an affected heart, is supposed to have overcome ifer strength and caused her sudden death boforo she could summon help. The deceased was the widow of Ed ward Gallagher, who was accidentally killed at the Lehigh Valley station on February 29, 1893. She was in her fifty sixth year and is survived by four broth ers in Ireland. lier only relatives in this country are two nelces, Misses Mary and Sarah Dever.

The jury in the case ef George Bart lett. on trial for the murder of William Mnflitt, of Pittston, after being out all night, on Saturday returned a vordict of manslaughter. Judge Lynch, in passing sentence, said the jury had been very lenient. He said: "I have been at this bar as an attorney and judge thirty odd years, and in that time have never found a case in which there was such persistent effort to kill. Your case is the most malicious and determined I ever knew. The jury showed you all the mercy pos sible. Had they returned a verdict of first degree murder the court would have approved of it. I sentence you to a fine of 3500 and costs, and to be im prisoned in the Eastern penitentiary, seperate and solitary confinement, at hard labor, for a term and period of twelve years." The prisoner listened quietly to the judge's address and sentence, and re turned to the prisoner's corner without a word. The sentcncd is the maximum penalty prescribed by the law. May Yet llulld New Coal Koa<l. Secretary Kemmerr r. of the York, Wyoming and Western Railroad, the now line wl.i h it is proposed to run from the upper coal fields to tidewater, is quoted assaying that although the road has been delayed by the withdrawal of the Siuipkin-Waikins inter sts, it is the policy of the directors to begin im mediately tiio construction of the line. More than 31,000,000 has been subscrib ed and the co-operation of New York banking interests has been obtained. Notwithstanding this assertion, older railroad and coal men believe otherwise. They agree that while it would cost more money than yet raised, the road, being devoted exclusively to freight, would not pay. Moreover, If built, owners would have a hard time to oper ate it. It would bring on a big fight with the large coal carrying companies and as they would all be against it the result, it is cluiui<d, would not bo of advantage to the new company. School Hoard Acquitted. The Banks township school board, on trial at Mauch Chunk the past four days, charged with Issuing and publish ing a false statement of receipts and expenditures of the district, were ac quitted by the jury on Saturday after an all night session.
