Second Week. Opens With
End Not In Sight. '

GOLDSMITH’S DAllllGlllG EVIDENCE.

The Entire Day Given Up to'the
Reading or Figures Showing- the
Amount of State Deposits and
Amounts Louned ex-Senator.

PHILADELPHIA, April 18.——The sec-
ond week of the trial of ex-Senator
Matthew S. Quay on an indictment
charging him with conspiracy to use
unlawfully funds of the commonwealth
deposited in the People’s bank began
yesterday morning. There were no in-
dications of any cessation of interest in
the case. On the contrary, the district
attorney’s office was besieged from an
early hour by applicants for tickets of

 

admission to the courtroom, the capaci- ,

ty of which was taxed last week. As
the case progresses by slow stages in-
terest in it seems» rather to increase
than diminish in spite of the fact that
the trial promises to be long drawn
out. A criminal lawyer of this city was
quoted as saying that he was of the
opinion that the trial would not end be-
fore May 10.

District Attorney Rothermel succeed-
ed last week in getting admitted in evi-
dence all of the books and documents
by which he proposes to prove his case.
His victory was not won without hard
fighting, however, and Friday and Sat~
urrlay of last week were occupied in a
pitched battle over the admission of the

red book. Judge Biddle allowed it to go

in evidence, but without his ruling 'the
prosecution’s case would, it is said,
have stopped then and .there. The red
book is reported to be of the utmost
importance, as it is alleged to l’contain

:

the calculation of interest of the comw

monwealth’s deposit and the calcula—
tions of the division of interest among
the alleged conspirators.

Meyer Goldsmith, the commonwealth’s
expert accountant, was on the stand all
day in the trial of Senator Quay, mak-
ing statements of fact that are appar-
ently damaging to the defendant’s side
of the case. Goldsmith is the main wit-
ness for the prosecution, and , it is
through him that all of the documenta-
ry evidence is to be presented. This
witness has examined the bank’s books
thoroughly, and he came into court yes-
terday morning with a number of type-
written sheets containing figures that
he gathered from the various books re-
lating mainly to the deposit of the state
treasurer and the account of Senator
Quay. He swore to the correctness of
his work, and then the district attorney
formally offered the paper in evidence.
This was objected to by the defense on
the ground that such a paper is not tes—
timony. It was insisted that the books
themselves should be placed before the
witness and his statements uttered
from what he saw entered in them. The
judge decided in favor of the defense,
thus giving that side the first piece of
comforLI it has experienced since the
trial began. Although the defense ap-
parently gained this point, the paper
was practically in evidence, 'Witness
Goldsmith using its contents in framing
his answers to the district attorney's
questions.

All day long Mr. Goldsmith read out
figures taken from the bank books em—
bracing the various settlement periods
of six months each dating back to Oct.
31, 1893, showing the amount of the
state deposit, the amount loaned to
Senator Quay during each six months,
the amount of interest allowed the state
treasurer for that portion of the state
deposit apparently not set aside for
Senator Quay’s use, the amount of in—
terest, if any, the senator paid on his
loans, and the amount of money used to
purchase stock for him. The deposits
during the years mentioned ranged
tram $1,200,000 to $400,000. Senator Quay’s
loans were shown to be as great as
8866.000 in one period of six months. Oc-
casionally, the witness said, smaller
- and inadequate payments of interest by
Senator Quay were shown, but general-
ly there was nothing to indicate that he
paid for the use of the bank’s money.

 

The Chicago to Sail.

NEW YORK. April 18,—The cruiser
Chicago, which has been undergoing re—
pairs at the Brooklyn navy yard for
months, will sail today on her first im-
portant voyage in nearly four years. A
cruise of 22,000 miles is to be made un—
der command of Captain Cook, acting
under orders from Rear Admiral Howi-
scn. The Chicago will go first to the
Azores, then to Gibraltar, where a stop
of ten days will be made, and then
through th" Mediterranean and the Suez
canal and down the eastern coast of Af-
rica to .l‘hannesburg and Cape Town.
A stop v-‘il be made at St. Helena. It is
expected that the Chicago will return to
the United States next October.

Troops From Cuba.

SAVANNAH, April 18.——The transport
Thomas has arrived at quarantine with
the Thirty—first Michigan infantry regi—
ment and one battalion of the Third
I‘ 2;:ed States engineers from Cienfue-
gas on board. The transport Havana
also arrived with two battalions each
of the Second and Third engineers from
Havana and Matanzas after going
through qua'rantine. The Michigan
troops will be sent to Augusta and the
Third engineers to Atlanta for muster
out. ‘

Shipyards Threatened.

BATH. Me, April 18.—The dwelling
house of Tristan T. Moores was burned
yesterday afternoon. The flames spread
to 'severalhouses, as well as to Arthur
Sewall 8: Co.'s yard andrthe New Eng-
land Shipbuilding company’s yard, but
these tires were extinguished with slight
damage, and a threatened disastrous
conflagration was averted.

 

Von Der Ahe Wants Damages.

ST. LOUIS, April 18.—Chris Von der
Abe in the circuit court has filed a suit

CORRUPTION _CHARGED.

Harrisburg Investigators Report Of-
fers of Money For Votes For Quay.
HARRISBURG, April 18.-I-Majority

and minority reports were presented to

the house last evening from the com-
mittee which has for several weeks past
been investigating the charges of at-
tempted bribery Iin connection with the
balloting for United States senator and
the consideration in the house of the
McCarrell jury bill. The latter bill,

 

’ which was eventually defeated, was
I'said to have” been introduced to aid
Senator Quay in his then approaching

trial in the Philadelphia courts.

The majority report recites at con-
siderable length the testimony taken by
the committee and says the evidence

disclosed clearly‘ that undue means

were taken by many persons to cor-
ru-ptly solicit members of the house'
both for the purpose of influencing their
official action in reference to the Me-
Carrell jury bill and in reference to
their official action as to the election of
a United States senator. This corrupt
solicitation, the report says, consisted
of offers of money, position, advantage
and pohtiéal preferment.

The report charges that in further-
ance of an unlawful conspiracy to car-
ry out the scheme rooms were main-
tained at the Lochiel hotel in Harris-
burg for the purpose of having mem—
bers if the house brought there that
they might be approached in reference
to the subject matters referred to.
Those who maintained these rooms and
corruptedly approached certain mem-
bers, the report continues, were John
J. Coyle. Charles B. Spatz, Thomas B.
Moyles, Michael J. Costello and Martin
Lawler.

Recommend Crinlinnl Proceedings.

HARRISBURG, April 18.-—The bribery ,

investigation committee last evening
recommended to the house that crimi-
nal proceedings be instituted in the
courts against nine persons for corrupt
solicitation in connection with the bal-
loting for United States senator and
the consideration of the McCarrell jury
bill. ‘

LEAVING PORTO RICO.

 

General Henry Believes In Coloniz-
ing, Contrary to the Commission.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 18.—The

United States transport McPherson, for—

merly the steamer Obdam, left here last

evening, having on board a distinguish-

ed party, including Brigadier General 5

Fred D. Grant, who has been ordered
to the Philippines, and his staff; Gen-
eral Robert P. Kennedy and Mr. Henry
G. Curtis of the insular commission
and a large number of officials who are
to be mustered out of the government
"service. General Grant and his wife
have been the recipient of many social
attentions during their stay on‘ the is—
land. and they were given an affection-
ate farewell by the natives.

The insular commission visited Ma— .
jor General Guy V. Henry, the govern- T

or general of Porto Rico, and asked him
what he had to say. His reply was as
follows:

“My plan is diametrically opposed to
yours. I believe in educating the peo-
ple generally, and I do not believe in
thrusting Americans into alLthe ofl'ices.
I believe in colonizing. I have been
here nearly a year and the commission
only a few weeks.”

It isvsaid the Porto Ricans oppose the
policy of the commission.

The State Rests Its Case.

CANTON, 0., April 18.—The state con-
cluded its direct testimony against Mrs.
George yesterday afternoon. There was
a strong intimation that the lines of
the defense will be temporary emotional
insanity. This came when the bench
announced that the testimony bearing
on the relations between the accused
and Saxton dating back as far as the
eighties Would be admitted if insanity
is to be the defense. It was further
admissible, he said, on the grounds of
premeditation and also because the
state has. shown some ‘of these rela-
tions. This decision practically opens
the doors for all of what has heretofore
been regarded as doubtful testimony.

Windsor Dead Buried.

NEW YORK, April 18.—The remains
of the unidentified victims of the Wind-
sor hotel fire were interred yesterday
in Kensico cemetery, at White Plains,

N. Y. Rev. D. Parker Morgan, D. D., of , ‘

the Church of the Heavenly Redeemer,
this cit-y, conducted the-services accord—
ing Wpiscopalian Observances. There
were in all 16 complete bodies and the
bones of eight other bodies. The ceme—
tery authorities recorded the burial as

the interment of 24 bodies, each being ‘

placed in a separate grave.

Expedition to Study Sun’s Eclipse.

PRINCETON, N. J., April 18.'—Profes-
sor Young announces that an expedi-
tion will be sent from Princeton in 1900
to North Carolina to make observations
on the sun’s total eclipse. The phenom-
enon occurs on the morning of May. 27,

“Thiteness at all seasons of the yen}
‘and at. all times of life is a very rare
feature among mammals; one of the
"few in which this occurs being the
polar bear. Evidently. the absence 0!
Tcolor is due to environment, this spe-
;cies seldom, if ever, ranging southward
of the regions of arctic ice and snow,

ture has been a denizen of these cheer-

vless climes for an incalculubly long
period. Indeed, the only evidence of
kinship with other bears, as regards
coloration, is the tendency to develop-
.ment of a. brown tinge on the hairs of
some very aged individuals of the. polar
; species. To enable'it- to maintain a
Z foothold on the ice this animal has a
f 'sparse coating of hair on the soles of
the feet, which in other bears are com-
* .pletely naked. The head, too, is longer,
' and the grinding teeth are proportion-
ately smaller than in ordinary bears,
all these facts pointing to the long isola-
I tion of the ice. bear.

Whether this‘ animal hibernates dur—
ing the dreary and dark winter is a
moot point, but the probability seems
to be that it remains active at all sea-
sons. To seals and young walruses the
polar bear is a terrible foe. and the
quantity of seal fiesh it will manage to
put- away is said to be astonishing. In
spite, of its huge size and formidable
, teeth and claws, the walrus hunters
' never hesitate to attack a polar bear,

' even when armed only with a lance,
and generally manage to come off un-
harmed and victorious.

So long as they are provided with
plenty of cold water, these bears flour-
ish remarkably well in this country.

' cost or HAY SHE-es

/
‘t Is Absolutely Insignificant “"hen
Compared with ‘the Saving
'l‘h'e‘y Always Effect.

 

One of the common leaks upon the
farm is in stacking hay, as often a large
part of the cropIis left out for lOl‘lIhS.
1f the work is poorly done great loss
and damage is the result, however good
the quality of the hay may have been
when stacked. The cost of building
suitable hay sheds in addition to the
mow room of the barn need not be
great. A shed 20 by 30 feet and 14 feet
tothe eaves can-be erecte’d at‘slight
cest. Several years ago I built such a
one, setting the posts on rock and spik—
ing stringers and plates to the posts,
using six—inch bolts which I bought
and Made blacksmith sharpen. Holes
should be bored in the stringers and
plates; then drive the bolts into the
posts solid. Such a plan is much better-
than to use spike Inails. Any rough
lumber will do for siding, and the shed
should‘be covered with clapboards or'
shingles. Have an opening at one end
for unloading hay. By building the
shed larger and higher one could put in-
Place the
lower stringers two feet from the
ground and a scantling‘ 18 inches above
it; then after your siding is on go round
and saw holes out of it two feet wide,
which will make them 18 inches high;
saw holes every three feet. This makes:
a capital place to feed cattle, and they
will waste scarcely any hay. A low
shed built around three sides of the hay

‘. shed will make a good protection for
cattle, siding up the west and north

sides. Cattle will do in such quarters
almost as well as in expensive barns.
By building the corncrib near the sued
and feeding corn once a day cattle will
winter finely, and for quite a while can
reach bay for themselves, and when'it
gets beyond them push it down from
the top all round and you have a good
manger. This way is not perfect, of
course, but. it has the merit of cheap—
ness and efficiency, and is a very satis-
factory way to,,feed hay, as I have tried
it for years. This plan of feeding is
intended for cattle from two to three
years old—Prairie Farmer.

It isa well-known fact that. cows not

milk drawn, as is shown by the follow-
ing experiment: I

The Kansas state college dairy has

conducted an experiment showiug- the

importance of clean milking. Five cows
that were giving a. fair quantity of milk
were selected, and their milk collected
in half-pint- bottles, each teat. contrib-
uting its share to every bottle. These
samples were tested with the Bubcock
test. with the following results:

Cow No. 6 varied from .6 of 1 percent.
to 7.2 per ccnt.I ‘ a

Cow No. 10 varied from .2 of 1 per cent:
to 6.6 per cent.

Cow No. 14 varied from 1.6 per cent.
to 5.8 per cent.

Cow No. 15 varied from 1.5 percent.
to 6.8 per cent.

Cow No. 20 varied from 8 of 1 per cent.
to 7.8 per cent.

The results show a gradual, although
not entirely uniform, increase in the
per cent. of fat. from the beginning to
the last of the milking, except with the
last two samples drawn from each cow.

. Here the per cent. of fat. would take a

sudden leap, amounting often to a
third or a half of the total variation.
This shows very clearly how important;
it is to get. all the milk. By averaging
the results it was found that the last
quarter of a pint was worth from three-
fourths to one and a half pints of milk
first drawn from the udder. Moral:
