HARRISBURG polNGs.
The sehOOlbooks Bill Throws the House
Into Confusion.

AnNO SOnIusAous
HARRISBURG, April s7.-The proceed
ings In the house were brought to an ex-
citing close. After many senate bills on
second reading had been disposed of Mr..
Moore of Chester sprung a motion that
the vote be reconsidered by which the Mo-
Quown bill was killed last Monday. Tho
measure provides that schoolbooks shall
not be changed oftener than five years aft
er they have been adopted. Mr.. Herzog Of
Berks appealed to the house to vote down
the motion He said the bill had been de-
feated once, and 1t ought not to be taken
up again. The motion was adopted by a
viva voce vote Mr.. North demanded o
roll call, which showed "a yeas and IS
nays.
Then the opponents Of the bill demand
ed the reading of the roll. When the clerk
had finished, Mr.. Herzog called tho atten-
tion of the speaker pro tenn. (Mr. Coch-
rane of Armstrong; to the fact that
Messrs. Richey, Rhodes and several other
members were recorded as having voted
in the affirmative when they were not in
the chamber Several other members arose
to question of privilege and stated that
their absent colleagues were recorded.
Mr.. Cochrane stated that he would not
recognize any other members who arose to
a question of privilege. His decision was
greeted with Misses and faint applause.
Immediately Speaker Walton stepped on
the platform, and the confusion partly
subsidized. Members crowded around the
desk to protest against the ruling of the
speaker pro tenn. A motion to adjourn
was offered and carried.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Samuel G. See
ly, tho defaulting bookkeeper who stole
1854, 900 from the National Shoe and
Leather bank. received a visit in tho
Kings County penitentiary from his law
yer, Frank W. Angel. He told Seely that
his brother in-law, Samuel +. Aymar, also
q bookkeeper of the Same bank, had stolen
$40, 900 of the banks money and was in
Ludlow Street jail awaiting the action Of
the federal grand jury in his case.
II can hardly believe this to be true I"
replied Seely. He was the very last ono
in the bank should have suspected Of any
wrong"
Then he inquired, when did Aymar
begin to take money from the bank"
About is years ago. " was the reply.
Now understand it all, said Seely.
THAT was about the time Mr.. Nelson
was discharged from the bank. 1t shows
what temptation the banks officers placed
right in our way by the poor economy on
their part In discharGing the check ledger
clerk. The bank officials thought they
could dispense with his services and thus
save the expenses Of his salary"
