THE CARLISLE-THOB CASE.
Minority Report of the Committee o1
 Elections Submitted.

Minority Report of the Committee on
 Elections Submitted.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The views of the minority of the elections committee on the ThobeCarlisle contested election case were presented to the house yesterday by MT. Ly- man, of Iowa. The minority says it was re- fused an opportunity to have the mass of affi- davits printed and examined, although the majority afterward showed that this request was reasonable by ordering the printing of the papers. The minority feels that a case involving such grave charges of fraud should not be settled in this nasty, otfhand manner by the mere presentation of ex parte aftidavits, and it urged a fitting investiga- tion of the case. Failing in this, it was unable to vote, as it would on every personal ground have been glad to do, in favor of the sitting members title to his seat. It believes that reasonable showing having been made by the contestant, he should, in all justice and fair dealing, be allowed to establish, by com petent evidence, if he can, the allegations of fraud, made by him. The minority does not see why, if the charges be untrue, the con- testants should so consistently oppose an in vestigation; and his opposition is, to its mind, so strongly corroborative of the claim made by the contestant as to restrain said minority from supporting the majority resolution with out an inquiry. The report is signed by Messrs. Lyman, Lodge, Houk, and Johnson, of Indiana

Ex-Governor PattiSOn'S Denial,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-Ex-Governor Pat tison, president of the Chestnut Street Ma tional bank, was found at his desk yesterday engrossed with the business of the institution and apparently undisturbed by the statements that he had, while occupying the executive chair of the state, summoned the late Judge J. S. Black to write him a veto message of the South Penn railroad bill, then awaiting disposition by his excellency. The ex-gover- nor merely smiled when shown an extract from The Lancaster Intelligencer, printed in a morning paper, which asserts that the state ments are true. After reading the article Governor Pattison said: "I am not ready to say any more upon the subject; not for the present, at least" In further conversation Governor Pattison stated that he had in his possession telegrams, letters and papers in connection with the South Penn railroad bills, but these he will not make use of yet. He re- iterated his statement of Monday last that he did not retain or ask Judge Black or anybody else to prepare any paper for him.

 TRENTON, Jan. 19.-The Washington street bridge idea that has set Jersey legislature. seething regularly for fifteen years, and never approached any nearer a real bridge than a one man power rowboat across the famous gap in Jersey City, made its first appearance this session yesterday. Itwas in the shape of bill introduced in the assembly repeating the bill authorizing the construction of a tunnel under the canal at the place where the bridge ought to be. The tunnel bill was clever device by which the Matthiessen S5 Weichers sugar house people two years ago threw the bridge bill off the track just as it had nearly passed. The tunnel was, it was given out, to be built at once, and would be much better than any bridge could be. The repeal of the tunnel bill will make bridge scheme eligible once more
 The assembly, before adjourning for the week, ordered to third reading bill pro hibiting agreements ill restraint of trade or ''trusts," and another making combinations of insurance companies illegal.
 In joint meeting the legislature elected ex- City Collector Scott, of Paterson, district judge of that city.

A MURDERER,s SUICIDE.
He Waited for the State Pardon Boards
 Decision and Then Cut His Throat.


 Decision and Then Cut His Throat.
 PITTsBURG, Jan. 19-The public announce ment yesterday that the state pardon board had finally determined not to interfere with the sentence of death imposed on Edward V Coffee, for the murder of Police Officer Nevlns, nearly two years ago, created intense excitement. The excitement over the above announcement was mild, however, compared with that which quickly spread throughout the city when it became known that Coffee had attempted suicide by cutting his throat in the cell in the county jail.
 At 1:3O o'clock D. m. George w. Wur7ell, associated with Attorney McKenna, of coun- sel for Coffee, went to the jail to notify him of the finding of the pardon board. After an affecting interview during which Coffee broke completely down, Warden Berlin showed Mir. Wurzen to the door and immedi- ately returned to the cell of the condemned man. The warden found Coffee lying upon the floor, his throat terribly cut and blood gushing from the wound. The jail physicians were summoned and at a glance discovered that the windpipe was completely severed; :; one end of it protruded from the gash, and through it the respirations were made with ghastly gurgling sounds. The physicians at once pronounced the case hopeless but ren- dered what temporary aid there was within their power. The ends of the windpipe were caught and held together with silver wires and the flow of blood reduced; but the pa tient who had been removed to the hospital department, was slowly sinking
 Edward Coffee came of respectable parent age. His mother, an aged lady, who has sacrificed every worldly possession in her sons behalf, is heartbroken. She is prominent in local religious circles. Edward is about 32 years of age, and has always been known as a bad character. He had only been out of the penitentiary a short time prior to the shooting of Policeman Evans

THE STRIKING MINERS.
There is No Immediate Prospect of a
 Settlement.


 PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 19.-There can be little doubt that the struggle between the Philadelphia and Reading corporation and its striking employees is assuming an altogether different aspect from that it bore a week ago. Then there was some probability of an early settlement of the miners strike at least: now there is scarcely any.
 According to the present outlook the two parties to the great controversy have settlei down to protracted bitter contest, which will test their respective resources to the ut most, and will only be determined finally by the utter exhaustion of one or the other of the combatants
 There is little question that if Mir. Corbin should signify his willingness to arbitrate the difficulty with the miners separately from that of the railroad men the miners would meet him more than hclf way. Indeed, it is only the cuntemptuous indifference to the de- mands of the striking miners manifested by the president of the Reading road that gives the railroad strike any standing at all The miners, incensed at the manner in which trey are treated, and regarding Mir. Corbin's course as an insult to organized labor in general. are impelled thereby to much warmer cham pionship of the railway hands cause than they otherwise would think of giving it. As for the railoaders themselves, they apparently recognize the situation and are doing a lot oi whistling to keep up their courage

Jealousy. Murder and Suicide.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 19.--Frank Faulkner, aged 21 years, shot his wife Addie, aged % years, yesterday, infiicting three wounds in the head which will doubtless cause her death. He then shot himself in the head and died in stantly The wounded woman was taken to hospital. It is learned that earlier in the day Mrs. Faulkner and her husband had been before Justice Walsh, on complaint made by her that he refused to contribute to her support. The justice advised them to try to settle their domestic difficulties between them- selves, and they seemed inclined to do so when they left the court. They proceeded to Mrs. Faulkner's mo hers house, where the shooting occurred. No one was present to witness the tragedy. Faulkner was die sinker. It is said that he was actually insane from jealousy

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

Saturday night Waterbury will be here sud if Meriden dosn't get back at them for hat II to game, then put them down for 3. lot of gillies.-Meriden Journal
 The second series of games in the Hart ford billiard tournament were played last night between Hendricks of New Haven md Kellogg of Hartford. Hendricks won .50 to 211. The games this evening will be between Hewins of Hartford and Kings bury of New Haven.
 Last evening Hartford easily defeated Waterbury in tame and uninteresting contest by the score to 0. Says the iourant: The home team had the Brass City men at their mercy throughout the anne and played all round them. The visitors put in Frazier to rush and Griffin s center, and this strengthened the team decidedly. Frazier rushed well and Grim blocked well. Rabbit did some beautiful soal tending and to his good playing may be attributed the fact that the score against ihe Waterburys was not larger.
