Pennsylvania Legislators Want Another
Investigation.

HARRISBURG, Feb. 2-There was lively
fight in the house last night over the
movement to investigate the state treas
ury and auditor generals Office. After
upward Of a hundred bills had been pre-
scnted the Mitchell resolution was read by
The clerk, and without opposition the
previous vote of the house, concurring in
the proposition, was r~econsidered, and
Mr.. Smith, of Philadelphia, offered as a
substitute the following;
Whereas, 1t has been charged in the
newspapers Of this commonwealth that
for years past certain favored banks have
been the repositories of state funds, and
whereas, 1t is alleged that the snid
banks have paid, directly or indirectly
large sums of money or other ~considera-
tion for the use Of such deposits.
Therefore, BE it resolved, that the
president judge OF common pleas court NO.
1, of Philadelphia county, the president
judge Of common pleas court No. T. of
Allegheny county, aud the president judge
of Dauphin county court be and are hereby
constituted q court Of inquiry and inves-
tigatiOn, and are directed to lay aside at
once all other public business and inquire
into and investigate the management OF
the state treasury, commencing with the
term Of the late state treasurer, Hon.
Amos G. Noyes."
The resolution further instructs for a
thorough investigation, and also author
ICES the court 'to hear all voluntary testi-
mony bearing upon the management of
the state treasury within the past twenty
years; and said court shall send for per
sons, books and papers having knowledge
Of or bearing upon said subject and are

pher." The attorney general is instructed

Among the arrivals in town on the six
o'clock Lohigh Valley train from the east
yesterday morning was a young Hungarian
woman named Mary Howanitz. The woman
was ill when the train arrived and
she was hurriedly transferred to the
home of friends on East Raspberry alley, a
short distance from the depot. Drs. Matter
and Callen were called and they delivered
the unfortunate woman of the child, which
was dead born. Health Officer Conry was
sent for and he investigated the case. 1t was
learned from the woman that up to 2 few
months ago she was employed as a domestic
by Harry Bishko, who kept a saloon at the
corner of Centre street and Market alley.
Among the f]requenters of the place was
Simon Harilla, and the young
lays her misfortune at the ~latter's door.
When Bishko sold out his saloon the woman
went to New York city. Upon advice of
friends she returned here yesterday to make
known the circumstances to the authorities.
Constable Giblon yesterday afternoon located
and arrested Karilla, who was taken before
Justice Lawlor. The prisoner was given the
option Of paying the lyiug-in aud funeral
expenses or go to Jail. He chose the latter
and after spending the light i'm the lookup
was taken to the Pottsvillc Jail ismoruiug.
He says the woman went to New York city
ten months ago and Inc did not see her after.

The anthracite coal trade has been stimu-
lated to renewed activity by the wintry
weather of the past two weeks. The demand
for coal has materially increased and prices
have s%tifened to the July circular figures.
There has been much difficulty experienced
in promptly moving coal to the tidewater
shipping points, and the frozen rivers on the
seaboard have retarded the movement OF
vessels. The Reading Company has been
compelled to practically suspend shipping
cotl from Port Richmond for the present, aud
is now moving what coal it can from Port
Reading to New York harbor and the Long
Island Sound and other east, IN points. The
restriction of production is being rigidly en-
forced, and the frigid atmosphere has for the
past two weeks compelled a cessation Of
operations of the coal washeries in the an.
thmcite fields. Consequently there has been
a heavy curtailment of the output of the
Junior steam sizes as well as of the prepared
sizes.

The plant of the Miners Advocate, pub
lished by Messrs. Van Vert and Hart, was
disposed Of at Sherif's sale this morning, at
the instance of Hess Bros, for a claim they
hold against the proprictors. The former
bid in the newspaper and job material, sub
ject to a lease held by Damon & Poets, the
New York type founders, on the material.
The office furniture, etc, was purchased by
various bidders. The receipts from the sale
were light, aud will barely satisfy the wage
claims. The Advocate was in existence but
a few months, and was a neat, newsy publ
cation under the editorial management Of
Mr.. Van Vert.

The Bigot win snarl.

From Mahanoy City American.
l was panied to notice in the News, a
criticism of my article complimenting my
friend, c.. r. Straughn, the editor Of the
HERALD, on the evidences of his bright, in
telligent, hard work as exemplifed in his
paper. 1 was Of the opinion-and am still
that l can praise a gentleman for his personal
qualities Of heart and head, of mind and Of
body, where deserving of praise without
drawing upon myself the centure Of any
person for so doing. When l wrote Of Mr..
Straughn l did so in hearty sympathy with
him personally as a newsman like myself
just as l would have done of any other
gentleman connected with a newspaper whom
| especially fancied deserved a good word.
In fact, l believe, I spoke in the same strain
Of Mr.. Reilly, the bright editor and one of
the proprietors of the News, and Mr..
Straughn did not take exception to it.

q North Main st.


Ed. HERALD :-Of all the illogical, i'm
seusate and insane pleas ever advanced
against the candidacy of q man for local
office, the one made by the News against the
Reading bosses appears to me to be the most
puerile and idiotic. 7 will readily admit
that the fact of being q so-called editor de-
prives some people of the little sense they
had, but does the fact of being "a boss rob an
ordinarily, healthy-minded man of his iudg-
mont as to what the borough needs2 Does his
bossship render him less competent than "a
miner, q merchant or s~aloonkeeper2 The
Reading Company is q broad-minded corpora
tion and i'm advancing its employees to posi-
tions Of trust does not inquire as to their
nationality. but judges them by their worth
and appoints the Welshman as well as the Eng
lishman, the German as well as the lrishman.
No distinction is ever made. This fact is so
evident that I wonder that even the dense
News should bring a mans connection with
the Reading Company into our local politics.
We have had bosses ON our School Board and
Council almost from the borough's inception.
Gaze any one say they did not do their duty
ON those bodies ? Can any one point out an
instance where they allowed their compauy's
interests TO control their actions ? on the
contrary, it is a matter of record that none
of them ever used the cOmpauy's name in
any manner except where the interest Of the
borough was concerned, as in providing
ground for school houses, dumping grounds.
sc. In these matters the company has al
ways acted as a generous corporation. These
facts being undisputed, cannot see what in
forest the Reading Company can possibly
have in the selection of School Directors or
Councilmen. 1t has always refrained from
intruding in local affairs. If the Reading
bosses desire to express their interest i'm bor-
ough administration, by candidacy for Office,
that is their prerogative. They have the
same right to do so as any other citizen,
and it is cowardly to attack them then ON
account of their association with a corpora
ton. On the other hand, why should not
the Reading Company, which is probably the
heaviest and most prompt taxpayer in the
borough, have representation on the School
Board or Council2 1t should certainly be
accorded the sam right as any other tax
payer. But to the credit of the company this
privilege is never requested or demanded.
Any way we look at it, the opposition of the
News seems to be the voricst rot and all
mauly citizens will readily attribute this
latest evidence of mental degenomcy in the
News sanctum to the slime and filth i'm which
il has been wallowing for the past few weeks.

To-day is Candlemas day, or, as it is pop
ularly known, ground hog day. The old
time belief is that the condition Of the
weather that day will regulate the weather
of the next forty days. If the day is bright
and fair, many days Of bad weather are sup
posed to follow, and if it is wet aud gloomy,
winter is over. The ground hog wakes up
on that day, and if the weather is bad he
stays up, but if he sees his shadow he goes
back to bed for six more weeks.
