SENATOR QUAY’S PREDICTION.
He Declares That McKinley Will Win on
the First Ballot.
WASHINGTON, June 2.——Senator Quay
mpplements his visit to Major McKinley
It Canton with a frank admission, which
he justifies by very conservative figures,
that McKinley will be nominated on the
first ballot. Mr. Quay gives out a table,
iompiled by himself, showing the vote
which, as he says, “I believe Mr. McKin-
Icy will have on the first ballot." This
sable is here reproduced:
Alabama ............. 6 North Carolina.... 18
Arkansas ............ 16 North Dakota ...... 6
Dalifornia ........... 14 tho ........... .. ..... 46
Oregon ....... 8
Pennsylvania ....... 4
'South Carolina ..... 3

Missouri ........... . 34 Wyoming ........... . 6
.‘Tebraska ............ 16 New Mexico ........ 1
New Jersey ........ -. 16 Indian Territory... 2
New York .......... 4 ——
Total ................ 479
These are far below the figures claimed
for McKinley’s first vote by Congressman
Erosvenor, but the total, 429, is about 25
more than a majority of all the delegates.
Moreover, Mr. Quay added, “We cannot
tell how many. others may swing into line
is the vote proceeds.” The Pennsylvania
leader adds that the figures mean McKin-
;ey’s nomination on the first ballot.
SAFETY LAMPS WERE USELESS.
Five Men Horribly Burned at the Buck
Ridge Colliery, Near Shamokin.
SHAMOKIN, Pa, June 2.—-Five miners
werehorribly reasted by an explosion of
gas at the Buck Ridge colliery. Two of.
them are dying from their injuries, and
there is but slight hope of the recovery of
the others. The victims are:
George Faust, frightfully burned about
his entire body; cannot recover.
Samuel Faust, a brother of the above
named, burned about the hands, face and
body; recovery doubtful.
Thomas Thompson, roasted from head
lo foot; will die.
Daniel Schmeltz, burned about the
head, face and upper part of the body;
may recover.
John. Specht, burned about the head,
lace and body; may recover.
. Seven other workmen who were within
35 yards of the injured men escaped with-
out injury. The men were employed in
No. 9 vein, which was known to be full of
gas at the time they entered. They pro-
ceeded cautiously and were using safety
lamps. Suddenly there was a loud explo~
sion, and the five men Were hurled to the
floor, surrounded by flames. Had it not
been for the presence of their fellow work—
men the men would all been killed, as
they were carried to a place of safety be-
!ore the deadly after damp had had time to
accumulate.
The mine is owned and operated by the
Reading Coal and Iron company and is
located about four miles from this place.

HER LAWYBR PAYS one BILL
The Prosecution’s Lawyers Allege That
the. Accused Woman Promised to Set-
tle With Her Creditors Just Be.
fore Her Mother Was Poisoned.
NEW YORK, June 2.—-The opening day
(t the fourth week of the trial of 'Mrs.
Mary Alice Almcnt Livingston Fleming,
the alleged poisoner of her mother, Eve.
lina M. Bliss, on Aug. 80, 1895, found the
prosecution’s case in the best and stron-
gest hope that it has been. Except indi-
rectly and by inference Mrs. Fleming has
not been connected with the death of her
mother. The remaining link or two neces-
sary to do this absolutely and directly have
been promised by the men representing
the district attorney’s office. They will
preduce them or their case will fall to the
ground.
Dr. O’Sullivan, fresh and strong from
his contest with Mr. Brooke, was the first
of the attorneys In court.
Mrs. Fleming Appears Improved.
Recorder Goff was on time, as usual.
Just preceding him In point of time In-
spector McCullagh walked ln,'relplendent
in his new uniform and gold lace. Its
brightness acted as a good background for
Mrs. Fleming in mourning clothes' She
came into the courtroom holding a letter
in her hand. She half bowed to the jury-
men. There was some color in her cheeks.
The two days’ rest had improved her ap-
pearance in every way. She looked confi-
dent—more so than she has since her trial
began. It wasn’t a confidence that exhib-
ited itself in any tendency either to smile
or repress a smile.
Charles A. Anderson, manager of the
Colonial House, was called to the witness
chair. Assistant District Attorney Miller
conducted the examination. Mr. Ander-
son testified that he knew the defendant,
Mrs. Fleming. He didn’t remember the
day that Mrs. Fleming first came to the
hotel, but her children and eflects came
there on June 6, 1895. Mrs. Fleming her-
self arrived subsequently. Rcoms 71 and
73 were given to her. He identified a plan
of the rooms.
“Was any arrangement made by any
one in regard to the occupancy of these
rooms by Mrs. Fleming?” asked Mr. Mil-
ler.
Mr. Brooke objected, but Recorder Gofi
ruled the question in order. .
Bliss Arranged Things For Mrs. Fleming.
The witness at first «aid that no one had
been to make such arrangement, then that
Mr. Bliss had come to the hotel and asked
that the rooms be prepared for Mrs. Flem-
ing for use for a short time._ He first saw
the defendant after she had been there
three or four days. She was with her
mother. The head waiter, James Red-
mond. took her orders.
It was evident that Mr. Miller sought
to show by the witness the dependent p0<
sition of the defendant, upon which in his
openir. r to the jury he laid"such emphasis
and which forms so important a part of
the aliuged motive for the crime of which
the dc'cndant is accused. Mr. Miller
therefore endeavored to show that the wit-
ness, Mr. Anderson,made all arrangements
for the accommodation at the Colonial ho-
tel of Mrs. Fleming and her children, not
with her directly, but with her stepfather,
to whom he looked as the person responsi-
ble for payment.
Mr. Miller next endeavored to secure
the witness’ testimony to identify the ar-
ticles which wore removed from Mrs.
Fleming’s rooms by Captain MoCullagh,-
in command of the Thirtieth precinct, by
whom the evidence against the defendant
was mainly collected.
“Did Mrs. Fleming owe anything to the
hotel proprietors when she left on Sept. 3?”
Mr. Miller asked. Mr. Brooke objected
quickly and hotly.
Mr. McIntyre jumped up and made an
impassioned speech.
“We will show,” he said, that this we-
man owed a sum of money for her board
at the hotel; that she owed large sums Of
money elsewhere; that she was greatly
embarrassed by her indebtedness; that
she told her creditors that she would soon
be in possession of a large sum of money,
and that a few days ago her board bill
was paid by one of the counsel here for the
defense.”
Recorder Gofi‘ allowed the question.
The witness said that $104 was owing
for Mrs. Fleming’s beard,“not charged to
her,”. he added. and that John C. Show
paid the bill Friday morning:
Murderer Hermans Seen.
SALT LAKE CITY, June 2.—The Rev.

house, left here to effect his capture. NO-
lan is positive that he met and traveled

No Sudan Correspondence With Germany.
LONDON, June 2.—In the house of com-
mons the parliamentary secretary for for-
eign affairs, Mr. George N. Curzon, reply-
ing to Mr. John Morley, denied the exist-
ence of any correspondence with Germany
on the subject (it the Sudan. He added
that thecorrespondencc with Italy in this
connection was of a military character and

' Marvelous Results.
- From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun.
derman of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract. “I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s
New Discovery as the results were almost
marvelous in the case of my wife. While
I was pastor Of the Baptist Church at
Rives Junction she was brought down
with pheumonia, succeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive them.
A friendrecommended Dr. King’s New
Discovery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in its results.” -

Eiectric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alterative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. N O menicine
will act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
