A Number of Important Bills Acted Upon
by Legislative Committees.
rFRoM A STAFF CORREs PoNDENT.l

HARRISBURG, February 27.-The House
Judiciary General Committee favorably
recommended the following bills:
The bill to change county seats, providing
that an election for the purpose may be or
dered on presentation to the court of petit
ton from one-third of the voters of a county.
The bill authorizing the levy of tax not to
exceed mill for the maintenance of soldiers,
sailors and marines or their wives, widows and
children,
The bin to authorize courts to appoint jury
commissioners.
The same committee negatived three bills
relating to the Cumberland pike in Wash
ington county, one providing for an appro-
priation of S45, 600; another giving the right
to enter on land to take stone, timber, etc.,
and the third relating to tolls.
The Senate Judiciary General Committee

IFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, February 27.-The House
Committee on Appropriations to-day heard
arguments by Captain White, of the United
States Naval Advisory Board, and men,
bers of the Philadelphia Board of Trade, In
favor of the Philadelphia harbor improve
ments The committee also decided on the
following appropriations: Children's Aid
Society of Western Pennsylvania, Sc, 200;
Colored Women's Home of Pittsburg,
$1,000; Colored Children's Home Of
Allegheny, S4,71O; Pittsburg Free Dis
pensary, $4,000; Allegheny County So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children and Aged Pepole, $4,000; Home
for the Friendless of Pittsburg and ALLIE
gheny, $4,000; West Penn Hospital, $751;
75S II. The request for S62, 900 to pay off
a mortgage was denied the latter institu-
tion, as was also a request for SIS, 900 for
improvements. The Rosine Home for
Fallen Women, a Philadelphia charity,
asked for an appropriation Of $40, 900, but is
given only $1,000.
Chairman Dearden SAYS the Appropria-
tions Committee has thus far pruned the ap-
preparations to point $500, 900 below the
recommendations of the State Board of
Charities.

The Confederate Positions at Gettysburg 20
be Accurately Marked.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
HARRISBURG, February N.-An informal
conference was held in the Flag room to-day
between Colonel Batcheler, the historian of
Gettysburg, and Colonel Bean and Captain
johnson, members of the House. The SUBJ
ject under discussion was the placing of
proper markers on the Gettysburg field to
mark accurately the various Confederate
positions. 1t is not designed by any means
to place monuments in the position. A
resolution will probably be introduced ask
ing Congress to take action on the subject.

DEMANDS A FULL INVESTIGATION.

A NECESSITY FOR MANUAL TRAINING.
AOne.Mill Tax for the Maintenance of Veterans and
Their Dependents

Chairman Andrews refuses to rest under
the imputation that he appropriated S45, 900
which he was to use to secure legislative
votes. He demands that the charge, or
rumor, rather, be investigated, and a COM
mittee has been appointed for that purpose.
1t lis sforegone conclusion that Mr., Andrews
will be acquitted.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-02-28


HARRISBURG, February N.-Chairman
Andrews, of the Republican State CON-
mittee, took Taurus by the horns this morn
ing by requesting an investigation. Mr..
Brown, of Lawrence, had his resolution, as
published in THE DISPATCH, all ready to
unload on the House yesterday, according
to programme, but, owing to the fact that
original resolutions were not in order, and
that Representative Brooks, of Philadel-
phia, objected, he did not get unanimous
consent for it. He wasready to do business
again this morning, but Mr.. Andrews got
in ahead of him.
DEMANDED AN INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. Andrews bore copy of TBE DIS
PATCH containing Representative Browns
resolution, and the Introductory remarks in
one hand, while serene but determined
expression adorned his countenance. He
read the account of the rumors in circuls-
ton, and then presented resolution asking
for the appointment of a committee to in
vestigate the matter. The request was
unanimously granted, and the House
laughed heartily as the State Chairman
read the statement of the rumor that he had
been entrusted with Sc, 900, but only dished
out $4,000. The House thought it rather
funny.
The Speaker appointed on the committee
Messrs. Billingsley, Brooks, Taggart, Helf
rich, Fruit, Skinner and Smiley, and they
met this afternoon and got ready to do busi-
ness tomorrow. The investigation will re-
suit in q report vindicating Chairman An
: drews. As in the case of the bank bill al
legations of last session, there are only ru-
mors in circulation, and these can be traced
to no responsible source.
AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.
Chairman Andrews emphstically denies
the truth of the stories, as already stated In
THE DISPATCH, and says he courts the
fullest scrutiny. Under the circumstances
all that the committee can do is
to report that it is unable to find
anything against Mr.. Andrews. This
is undoubtedly what the committe will do,
with possibly little censure mixed in for
the benefit of the correspondents who said
such rumors were in the air. The committee
viii issue general invitation to members
OF the House to step up and tell anything
they know about the matter. It may be
mentioned, merely as q guarantee of good
faith, that no one will be hurt in the rush.
A gentleman said to-day in the House of
Representatives that Quay's private secre-
tary, Frank Willing Leach, had brought
instructions with him when here from
Washington to have the dressed beef bill
killed.
: Chairman Henry Hall said, when ques-
toned, that he hadn't heard of it before. "I
talked with Leach when he was here" he
said, land he didn't say word about the
beef bill. It's all clap-trap and poppy
cock" SIMPSON,
