Harrisburg, April 30--The Quay coun-
set today in the house. The bill GREAT
Ing the new county was defeated on
final passage by a vote Of 92 yeas to SO
nays, less than a constitutional ma
jority The advocates OF the bill have
already prepared to make fight to re-
consider the bill. They are in a ma
jority, but 1t Is question whether they
can muster enough votes to pass it
finally. The bill has already passed
the senate.
The morning session of the house was
given up almost entirely to the discus
sion on the bill Thirteen of the fifteen
members in the house and senate of
Luzerne and Schuylkill counties. out of
which 1t Is proposed to create the new
county, made vigorous protest against
it. They contended 1t was not wanted
by their people. The principal speech
for the opposition was made by Mr..
Shrink, of Schuylkill. He said Schuyl-
kill county had recently increased its
indebtedness a half million dollars in
the erection of a new court house, ad-
ditiOns to the Jail, almshouse and other
county institutions.
The friends of the bill said the new
county was in the interest of law and
order. They pointed out the fact that
Hazleton, out of which 1t is proposed to
create the new county, is fifty miles
from Wilkes-Barre, the county seat of
Luzerne. The county authorities, being
so far away, make no effort to suppress
the lawlessness and disorder which pre-
walls in this region. Since Easter Mon
day eight murders have been committed
in this section.
The advocates of the bill asked that it
be passed because the Democrats were
opposed to 1t for the reason 1t was in
tended to call the new county after
Senator Quay. This was denied by
Fow and other members
Of the minority. They claimed that
no united action had been taken by
them, and that If the party representa-
tives were opposed to the new county
it was not on account of
politics. The Democrats, except Messrs.
bill.
Loan Bti1 Defeated
The Cotton Building and Loan asso-
citation bill was also defeated. The
measures was introduced at the request
Of the Pittsburg Building and Loan
leauge. 1t was advocated
by Mr. Cotton and other members from
and Western Pennsylvania.
Representatives Clarency, Crothers and
other Philadelphians spoke against it.
The bill authorizes building and loan
associations to issue two kinds of stock,
one for investment and the other for
home builders. 1t provides that the
associations may issue twenty per cent.
Of their capital stock as paid-up stock
for investment, the stock to be taxed
the same as bank stock. 1t argues in
favor of the bill that 1t only gives the
home associations the same privileges
now enjoyed by foreign concerns doing
business in the state. The opponents of
the bill claim it would allow these asso-
Citations to do a banking business, and
that it was in direct opposition to the
interests of the home builders.
The Marshall bill prohibiting the sale
Of oleomargarine and other limitations
Of pure butter passed finally. The bill
IS similar to the act of 1885, except that
It directs that one half Of the fine col
ected from violaters shall go to the
and the other half to the de-
partment Of agriculture for the use of
the state dairy food commissioner.
The bill creating the office of deputy
auditor general passed second reading
on special order, and will be consid-
cred tomorrow on third reading and
final passage. 1t has already passed
the senate. Should it become law the
position will be rendered Captain P. d.
of Jersey Shore, the present
clerk of the department.
The bill provides that it shall go into
effect at once. 1t will probably be re-
ceived and signed by the governor by
next Thursday in order that Captain
Bricker may enter upon the duties of
office at the same time as Auditor Cen
Mylin.
