Philadelphia, December 13.-At today g
session of the senatorial Investigating
committee, further exposure of the un-
lawful activity of the police in politics
was made.
A number of witne sses from the first
ward testified concerning the conduct of
the police during the faotional fight last
fall between the followers of Senator
Quay and those opposed to him. All the
witnesses belonged to the Quay faction.
They told how the police threw out Of
the polling place at the election of dele
gate to the ward convention to nominate
delegate to the State convention. Several
were regularly acredited delegates to the
convention and said that when they
went to the convention hall they found a
big squad of policemen lining the side
walk before it, and whensthey attempted
to enter they were ejeoted by the police
and dubbed when they resisted The
sergeant in command of these policemen
remarked to one delegate when he
thrust out that he was sorry to have to
do it, but was acting under orders. This
order came presumably, from the ward
leaders opposed to Quay. Considerable
other testimony was brought out show
ing that policemen with ''pull" can do
most anything

Morton's Candidacy.
New York, December IA morning
paper claims to have been authority for
the following statement in regard to Levi
P. Mortons' candidacy for the Republi-
can nomination for the Presidency:
s'He will not let his name be presented
at all unless he has first reached dis
tinot understanding with the party lead
ers in the state and especially with Mr.
P1att, and received positive assurance Of
the united and hearty support of the en-
tire delegation from the state. Gov. Nor
to does not conceive that there will be
any difficulty about bringing about such
all understanding or that there will be
any attempt subsequently to evade 1t.
For fear of accidents, however, he will
insist that the undertaking be definite.
Gov. Morton will also not allow the use
of his name in the convention unless he
is convinced that there is prospect of
success. He will not be a candidate for
the empty honor of a complimentary or
a test vote.
'sThs governor has yet taken no definite
step towards securing the nomination.
He believes that there is yet plenty of
time before the convention, and whatever
work his friends have thus far done has
been of their volition and without any
suggestion from him. When Gov. Nor
ton does not giSe word to his friends it
will be an indication that he Is in the
fight to win and thinks he has good
chance for success

IN A WAGON.
Newspaper Men Use This Conveyance to
Attend the Exposition.

Atlanta, Ca, December 13 "A rumb-
ling old wagon, covered with dust and
much the worse for wear and tear, ratified
cross Forsyth street bridge, and the
horses were brought to holt in front
of the Constitution building.
The wagon was the property of four
bright young newspaper men who have
travelled to Atlanta from Charleston,
Mo-, in the unique conveyance. The
gentlemen composing the party of tour
lists have been on their way for just four
weeks and have travelled since leaving
their home 1000 miles.
The party is composed of j. G. Russell,
J. Y. Mardick, A. II. Danforth and ".
H. Matingly. The gentlemen are news
paper men from Charleston, and made the
trip one OF pleasure and sightseeing.
The entire distance between the two
cities has been covered in the wagon.
The journey has been long and tedious.
and with the exception of several delays
on account of repairs on the wagon and
wait for swollen streams of the noun
tains to become formidable, the trip has
been without accident.
The public roads have been followed in
all cases where it was most expedient,
but several short cuts have been made by
the tourists aIross mountain trails and
through the dense swamps that were bar
riers in the way. The roads were in good
condition most of the distance. but few
times the party were compelled to walk
and lead their horses across dangerous
mountain passes.
With the wagon a complete camping
outfit was carried, and a negro cook was

about four weeks ago, the party started
for the exposition in the wagon. They

HAD THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Disabled Vessel, After Losing Part of Her
Crew Arrives in Port.

Boston, December ia thrilling ex-
perience is reported by the two-masted
schooner Howard, which was towed to
safe anchorage in the harbor this evening
with the loss Of two Of her crew, and
after narrowly escaping being wrecked
on Harding's ledge. Capt. Lohnes
stated he sailed from Sherboro, N. S.,
December 5, for Lynn, with $4,000 feet
OF lumber. Bad weather commenced that
night on the passage and the decks con-
stantly swept by heavy seas, causing the
vessel to pitch and roll terribly. Two
OF the crew were lost while reef1ng sails.
Both lived at Nova Scotia and were un-
married. With::the loss of two memberslof
the crew there were only four men left
TO WORK the vessel, and Capt. Lohnes de-
clded to put into port and secure extra
men.
D The two men shipped at that port and
the vessel again prooeeded..on her passage.
The weather continued bad, and Tues
day fierce northeaster struck her and
the snow which accompanied the gale
made 1T impossible to get an observation

ing she entered the bay and at 2. 80 this
afternoon dropped iboth anchors between
Point Aerton and Hardings', intending
to ride out the gale there. For time
she held securely to the anchors, but the
constant tugging at the hewsers finally
parted and the one remaining anchor was
insufficient TO hold the little craft and
she soon drifted close to the breakers at
Harding's ledge. in a very dangerous po-
'sition. The tug boat -Tuno sighted the
schooner, which in the meantime had her
mainboom broken in slings and became
badly iced up, was wholly unmanageable.
The tug, after hard work, towed her from
her perilous position and brought her to
the upper harbor where she was safely
anchored between the ferries. Capt
Lohns has wired the owner for instruc-
tions. The repairs necessary, which will
include new jibboom and mainsail, will
be made whom the weather moderates.
The vessel will be towed to Lynn to dis
charge her cargo. A considerable portion
Of tho deck cargo was lost overheard dur

and this may compel the Ohio Senator
to postpone reply until after the hoii-
days. Not Oily Mr.. Sherman, but other
members Of the finance committee have
expressed their surprise and discomfort
at the delay in receiving this report.
"This delay is something entirely un-
usual" said Mr.. Sherman, "the. Jaw re-
quires the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury to be sent in at the opening of
Congress and we are still without it,"
When it was suggested to Mr. Sherman
that possibly Mr.. Carlisle did not feel like
releasing his report without first submit
ting it to the President, Mr.. Sherman
said: Every likely that is true. can
hardly think that Mr.. Carlisle will give
the Presidents views that cordial en-
dorsement that Mr.. Cleveland would
doubtless like. Mr.. Carlisle has been in
public life too long. as believe, to be
misled with the idea that the plan pro-
posed by Mr.. Cleveland will prove cure
all for our ills. If the President does

homeopathy for producing revenue has
very much to do with the condition of
the treasury.

Saco, December 13.-Pclice officer Eu-
gene Remick has been suned for $1,000 on
a charge of false arrest, brought by Eu-
gene Meserve of Portland, travelling
salesman whom Remick assisted off the
base ball diamond during game last
summer when the umpire's decision was
in dispute. Meserve was brought before
