IN THE HOUSE,.
No quorum Could Be Obtained. an
',s Pandemonium Reigned.


Washington, March 29.--When the
house met at noon today the Joy-O'Nelll
contested election case was taken up,
and filibuster against the seating of
O'Neill was resumed. A vote on the
pending measure was taken and result
, ed-14 to II, IA short of quorum. OF
the II who voted against the motion, in
effect against giving Mr.. o'Nelll the
seat, there were 10 democrats. Nc
Keighan, populist, from Nebraska, cast
the other negative vote. Then came
more filibustering, and Mr.. Patterson
offered a resolution to revoke leaves OF
absence and instruct the sergeant-at-
arms to take absentees into custody.
The order, according to the resolution,
was to continue in force from day to
day until vacated. Reed attempted to
make the point that a quorum was
necessary to adopt resolution con-
tinuing an order in force beyond ad-
journment, but the speaker overruled
him, holding that 1t was plainly within
the power Of less than quorum to
adopt means to compel the attendance
Of absentees.
The previous question was ordered
1862 to2.
Reed took the floor, and in q brief
speech scored the democratic side,
dwelling particularly upon the absur-
dity OF proceedings which aimed at pro-
curing a quorum by duress, and after
one was secured, left the house power
less to record his presence.
Speaker Crisp, who was on the floor,
arose and said he wanted to call atten-
tion to the persistence with which the
leader Of the minority (ReeG had called
attention to the absolute iniquity of the
practice of members in refusing to vote
when their names were called
I'VE have been denounced time and
time again." said he, for refusing to
vote"
Il counted you." interrupted Mr. |
Reed, amid laughter.
'Mr. Reed" speaker Crisp went on.
"had placed his party in a position
when he made his quorum counting a
ruling where 1t had to sustain that rul-
Ing or renounce him."
Party feeling had been aroused by the
Of Reed and Speaker Crisp,
and the republicans began to filibuster
with redoubled vlgor. Reed asked for a
division on the resolution, but Stone, of
Kentucky, in the chair ruled the propo-
'ition was not advisable.
Several motions to adjourn were made
Ind lost By this time members Of both
sides were wildly excited, partisan blood
was at fever heat and for several min
ties pandemonium reigned. From all
parts OF the floor members were shout
ng their definace, and several personal
collisions were narrowly averted

"A band OF rufiians has possession OF

Four Poets.
success,

Times are dull and money scarce but
poets are plenty at this season of the
year. We have on our table four
different pieces of poetry that we have
been requested to publish. Two of the
poems came from Rathmel, one from
Sandy Valley and the other one was
composed in our own town. Some Of
these days ere long we will have our
poetical editor examine the productions
just referred to and il they are deserving
of space we will publish them in order
as handed in. We hope people who
hand in anything to THE STAR for
publication will not feel offended II IL
does not appear. We are aware Of the
fact that they are few il any, produc-
tions, be they poetry or prose, but what
the author really thinks is just about as
good, in fact better than many things
published in newspapers. In some case
that may be true, but the columns OF a
newspaper can not be open to everything
handed in for publication. People will
get offended as easily when their pro-
ductions are refused space as mother
will if you hint that her baby is not
pretty.

Music Hath Charms.

The second of the popular course of
entertainments under the auspices of
Young Mems Organization of the Ninth
United Presbyterian church took place
at Carnegie's Music Hall Tuesday even
ing. The Schumann Lady Quartette
of Chicago was the attraction, and they
appeared before large assemblage.
The Quartette enraptured the audience
completely. Their appearance was a
signal for applause and their retirement
the occasion for ahearty encore. Their
beautiful blending of tones, their clear
articulation, combined with delicate
shading, seemed to leave nothing to be
desired except to hear them again and
again. The voices of the -four ladies'
are unusually harmonious and they sing
together with perfect expression.-

Installation Next Monday.

The regular monthly meeting of the
town council will be held next Monday
evening at which time Burgess-elect
Lattimer will take the oath of office.
Mr.. Lattimer informed the editor of
this paper that he fully expects to en-
force the laws OF our borough, and If
they are too rigid for the people the
ordinances will have to be changed or
the people submit, for he cannot take
the oath administered and do anything
else but enforce the laws OF the borough.
He further added he believed the or
dinances should be as strictly enforced
the last months of mans term as they
are the first. We make mention of
this so the people may know what to
expect from our new mayor. The town
council is talking of furnishing a room
in the lookup building to hold council
meetings in and for the burgess office.
II this is not done Mr.. Lattimer does
not know yet where he will have his
office.

A Gallon of Blood.

Any one coming up Main street from
the A. V. R'y station Monday morning
could see blood every step or two on the
snow. 1t got there this way: A colored
man who works at the tannery had the
toothache Sunday and he got an mex
perienced fellow to try and pull the
tooth for him. The fellow succeeded in
breaking the tooth and extracting part
of it. Blood began to ooze out of the
hole made and it kept coming all night
and did not stop until the man reached
Dr. Reynolds drug store Monday morn
ing and then by medical skill it was
stopped. The man said that a gallon
of blood ran out of his mouth Sunday
night. We did not see the gallon Of
blood and do not vouch for the quantity,
but merely give the mans statement.

The family Of John N. Sink, of Clay
vile, came very nearly being suffocated
by gas last Sunday morning. It was
about o'clock when Mr.. Sinks daugh-
ter got out of bed and fell over on the
floor. Mr.. Sink arose to see what was
the matter, and noticing the sitting
condition of the atmosphere, threw open
the windows and went down stairs and
turned the gas out. His mother also
went down stairs and both were over
come, and fell to the floor senseless.
His wife was also affected in the same
way, and the whole family lay there
about an hour before they came to theil
senses. The gas was burning, but il
came on very strong during the night
depriving the air in the house OF it,
oxygen to such an extent as to produce
partial asphyxiation.

Smallpox at Toby.

DR.. j. b. Neale, of this place, who is
medical inspector for the Western slope
of Pennsylvania, which embraces the
counties Of jefferson, Elk, Cameron,
Clarion and Mexican, received mes
sage from Benjamin Lee last Thursday
ordering him to Toby, where a case of
smallpox had been reported, to quaran-
tine infected house. DR.. Neale re-
turned to Reynoldsville Monday after
noon and gave us the following report:
The man who had the smallpox was
an Italian by name of Autolfoni Luigi.
He sailed from Havre, France, on the
American steamship line, on the morn
ing of the l2th and arrived at Dagus at
2.30 p. NJ. of the 18th. He spoke to his
associates OF not feeling very we'll, but
thought it was due to the voyage. On
Saturday he acknowledged being sick,
and on Tuesday last was placed under
quarantine. He died on the 23d at
$50 p. M. and was buried on the oath
at p. M. The number Of houses
infected, 1; number of houses quaran-
tined, 2; number of cases at date Of
report, O; numbes Of persons in infected
house, IL; number of persons under
quarantine, 10. Three watchers are
employed to guard the houses by day
and three by night. The houses quar-
antined are Off by themselves in the
northeast corner of the village. The
Doctor ordered every person over three
months old, regardless of position or
color, in Toby, Dagus and Centerville
to be vaccinated.

Lecture Course Closed.

The lecture course for 1894, under
the auspices of the Reynoldsville Lee
ture Association, is now thing Of the
past. and we believe, generally speak
ing, the people who bought season
tickets were we'll pleased with the
course. The committee aimed to give
the people the best that could be secured
for the amount of money they had to
secure the lecturers. Some people
thought fifty cents was too much for
one lecture, which was the price
charged during the entire course. In
the first place even four good lectures
could not be engaged without certain
sum of money was guaranteed TO the
committee. Over two hundred persons
promised to take season tickets at sl.75
per ticket for four lectures. and five If
the Association could give IL 10 them.
In justice to the people who gave the
guarantee the Association put the price
of admission at fifty cents. The first of
the course was the Lotus Glee Club,
Nov. 2lst. Then followed four lectures.

during the lecture season. A lecture
course like the one just closed cultivates
In the people who attend desire for
more such lectures, and has tendency
to elevate society, not degrade, as do
some of the cheap shows that travel
through the country.
The Lecture Association met Friday
night and settled all accounts for the
past season and were just thirty-eight
cents behind. The receipts were 1888. 25
and expenditures S4SS.63. While there
is no money in it for the members of
the Lecture Association to give these
lectures, their only remuneration is the
satisfaction of giving the people an OPP
portunity to hear good lectures, yet the
Association appreciates the support
given the course for 1894 by the citi-
zens of Reynoldsville. The second year
was better than the first and 1t is ex-
pected the third year will surpass the
second.

many other good things, was served in
the hall. After supper Rev. H. II.

Presbyterian church, delivered an ex-
cellent lecture on the Danger line Of
Socialism" While the lecture was one
that showed deep thought and contained
much for the people to consider, yet it
was interspersed with humor sufficient
to evoke considerable laughter. A
large crowd partook of the supper and
listened to the lecture. The people
of Rathmel know how to get up good
meals and also know how to treat the
people who attend any gathering at that
place. All things considered the affair

Horr's Lecture.

Hon. r. G. Horr lectured TO large

Hall last Wednesday night on ''The

that his subject would be HAS it been
proven that the Baboon is our Cousin?"
Mr.. Horr did not know what subject
the Reynoldsville committee had select
ed, but was under the impression it was
the labor subject. He was very much
surprised when he arrived here Wednes-
day afternoon and was informed what
subject had been selected. He had not
delivered the lecture for several years
and was not anxious to deliver it. He
said his best lecture was "The Labor
Problem" and the people need not
judge by the subject that the lecture
would be dry affair. This is the
reason the subject announced was not
delivered. For an hour and forty
minutes the Congressman entertained
his hearers and gave them something to
think about. He cannot be called an
eloquent speaker, yet for practical
logic, keen discrimination and genuine
wit, few surpass him. His arguments
are to the point; they are SO honest and
appeal to everyday experience that
they seem to leave little room for doubt
or discussion. His illustrations are
drawn from the ordinary, everyday
affairs Of life, which rendered them
exceptionally clear and convincing.

time about widening the street of that

on at the February election and one of
the fellows anxious to widen the street,
decided to help his side on by importing
vote his way. The man with this in
view, visited some nearby towns and
gathered up men who were out of en-
ployment and offered them work or
their board If they would vote for
widening the street of his town. It is
said he got number of voters into that
neighborhood sixty days before election
day. The two Reynoldsville young
men promised to vote TO suit the man II
he would board them until the first OF
May, and the fellow accepted the offer.
The young men had sixty days board
before the election and need not worry
about something to satisfy the inner
man until after the April showers have
