That BuncO Business.

Walker Pell, who claimed To have
been buucoed out OF some money by
some one AT Grafton representing him
self 10 oc policeman, went down
there last Thursday with an attorney
To investigate The matter and find the
party II possible. They SAW all the
regular police force and Pell failed To
identity amy of them as the man VINO
relieved him of his money. We take
pleasure in noting this. as we have no
desire To injure the reputation of any
OF them, as they are all strangers touS.
Fell came home without finding his
man, but he sticks To his story TINT
some one held hi1 mp and got his
money as related i'm this paper two
weeks ago. They found the store in
West Grafton where Psil aul the
policeman" got some money changed.
MIR. Bartlett, the proprietor, retnc m
bered the circumstances, but could not
recall that he knew tao IMAM. j. H. y
Barlow, the attorney for Pcll. was
here attending court and was employed
immediately after IL happened To in
Nestigate the case and went To Grafton
two weeks ago and did all he could to
fad the man without pcl. lie came
back here and arranged with Pcn TO

failed 10 identify his mar. There is no
douOt but what some one got prllS
money ms he alleges, in spite of the
great ou;-cry made bv the Grafton pa-
pers, claiming that he lied or was
drunk or lost his monev iu some gam.
bling deR. No one that knows the
Young man can be induced - believe
any of these charges, for he has never
been accused OF lying, gambling or
being drunk, and H. Is no use for the
Grafton papers and officials to claim
that the whale story is "a fabrication,
for somebody robbed the young man of
his money and we hope every effort
will be made to bring the ofIondor To
justice.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-The big
power house of the Union Traction COM
pary, at the Junction of Thirteenth and
Mount Vernon streets and Ridge ave-
nue., was destroyed by fire tonight. Two
men lost their lives. and several others
were slightly injured.
The dead are:
A. B. Winder, aged 35 years, who was
knocked down and run over by fire
engine.
Another man. whose body has not been
identified. killed by falling wall.
The damage will amount to about
$3.50 900; fully insured.
All the principal lines of the city are
tied up, and as the fire broke out shortly
after six o'clock thousands were COM
PEELED to walk to their homes. The fire
was the direct result of the blowing out
of the light dynamos In the power house.
Sparks flew in every direction, and In
an instant the place was In flames. The
| house was a three -and-one- half story
| brick structure.
The steam pipes extending from over
a dozen big boilers in another part of the
building. but separated from the dyna-
| mos. broke with a roar that sounded like
an explosion.
This frightened the horses attached
| to a chemical engine, and caused them to
| run away, resulting in che death of
| Winder and injury of several others.
The building was valued at about
500. 000.t and the electrical machinery
consisted principally of four big dyna-
mos, valued at about $4,000 each, four
smaller ones. $4,000 each; switch boards
$4,000; testing machinery, $4,000, and
fifteen-ton travelling crane. $4,000
When the car lines affected will be able
to start again can only be conjectured.

'One man in liquor Mr. Hoar pro-
ceeded to say, might stop business" "
when Mr.. Quay jumped to his feet and

lunatic or liar, and will not tolerate
I a suggestion of that sort from the SEM

mig what ], am doing. in the interests
| of my constituents"
/ Mr.. Hoar disclaimed any intention of
making any insinuation as to Mr. Quay's
( sobriety.
| Mr. Quay again spoke of his motive
as being in the interest of the people
OF Pennsylvania and of thousands of
workingmen in that state, as well as of
much capital. He stated 1t to be his
recollection that when the bill for the
repeal of the Sherman law was pend
ing, the silver senators had frequently
made the point. just as he had made 1t.
He repeated this statement two or three
times, when Mr.. Dubois took the floor
to declare that neither he nor any OF the
silver senators had made the point OF
no quorum when it was evident that
there was a quorum present. He allud-
ed to Mr.. Quay's suggestion that his
course was in the interest of the capital
of his state. and said that even the
Sherman bill was directed at thou
sands where this may strike one, yet
there was no appeal to any such ex-
treme measures as were here involved.
That. he said. was fight for the peo-
pie. while here there was fight for the
few, but the Pennsylvania capitalists
were not then much concerned over
points of order
By vote of "A to G. the senate de-
cided to take up the bill for the ap-
pointment of a non-partisan labor COM
mission, but consideration was inter-
rupted by the presentation of confer
ence reports. Reports were received of
agreement on the Indian bill and the
District of Columbia bill Both reports
were agreed to without discussion. The
bills will now go to the president.
Discussion of the labor commission
bill was then resumed and was still in
progress at midnight.
Mr.. Quay gave up his fight against
the naval bill, saying that inasmuch as
the bill has passed, no good could be ac-
complished by fighting other measures.
At midnight there We're no vacant seats
in the galleries and the corridors were
still crowded. In the diplomatic gallery
there were many representatives OF the
diplomatic corps, all in evening dress,
many of whom were accompanied Dy
ladies. The interest in the proceedings
did not diminish with the progress or
time.
At o'clock Mr.. Allison presented the
conference report on the sundry civil
bill. which was agreed to. At $3.50 the
senate went into executive session to
consider legislative business.
