Hunter Cannot be Elected

Frankfort, KY, April 6.-Representa-
tive Andrew Thompson, Of Louisville,
who has been a supporter of DR.. Hun
ter, says the doctor cannot win, and is
looking for signers for a new Republi-
can caucus. The remaining chance for
a senatorial election is the possible
peaceful withdrawal of Hunter, to be
followed by the nomination of Holt or
Evans. Hunter does not want to with
draw, and win not unless virtuarv
taken off by the administration. mA-
jority of the Republicans will probably
never consent to his Withdrawal That
he does not intend to leave here soon
is evidenced by the fact that Mrs
Hunter and all the Doctors baggage
arrived from Washington yesterday.

TO SAVE HIM FROM EXECUTION
BY Unanimous Vote the Senators Declare
That the Killing Of the Captured
Cuban Commander Would be
Contrary TO the Rules Of
Civilized Warfare

Washington April 6.-The senate
yesterday, by unanimous vote adopted
a resolution reciting the reports that
General Ruis Rivera, the Cuban COM
mander, is about to be tried by drum
head court martial and shot, and ex-
pressing the judgment of the senate
that if these reports are true the presi-
dent Of the United States should pro-

such a violation of the rules of civil

go to the house Of representatives. and
becomes effective as a measure of ad-
vice to the president by its adoption.

TALK IN THE
COAL CIRCLES
No Sign Of Improvement in the Work.
ing Time.
ALL COLLIERIES ON SHORT TIME
Two of the Packer Galleries Started UP
This Morning to Work Three Full
Days others viii be Idle For
Several Weeks.

The announcement yesterday that the
p. & r. colleries would work but three
3-quarter days this week was received with
some surprise It was almost generally
understood that the predicted boom for April
would begin this week and the rumor that
the mines would be operated four days was
accepted since Friday last as a forerunner Of
an official announcement.
So great was the faith in the conditions,
many people quite closely connected with
the coal circles expressed the belief as late as
Sunday that if there would be a change
from the four-day rumor the order would
call for five days Of operations. 1t is now
almost generally conceded that under exist
ing conditions, it is impossible to tell
PA hours in advance just how the
collieries will work. The conditions are
Huctuating, and exceedingly so. Orders are
liable to come in on Monday morning to
work the mines four, or We 3-quarter days
in a week and be modified in the afternoon Of
the same day. As it is, the p. & r. col
lieries will close down tomorrow night and
remain idle until next Tuesday morning.
More than this no one will venture state
ment.
The VIM. Penn colliery, which is Penn
sylvania mine, is working on a similar
schedule. 1t started up yesterday morning
to work three days of eight hours each. 1t
will shut down tomorrow night until next
Monday morning. Nothing is known of
or can be predicted ON the schedule for next
week
The Packer collieries, operated by the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, are working
better than the ?. & r. collieries yet the
benefit derived is not equal to that afforded
by the p. g. r. system, for the reason that
all the collieries Of the latter in this district
are being worked, while only two of
the four Packer collieries are in opera
ton. Nos. and 4 started up this moru-
ing and will work full time until
Thursday night, making three full days this
week 1t is believed the same schedule will
be in force for the balance Of the month,
Packer No 2 viii not be operated before May,
for the reason that all the old cylinder
boilers are being replaced by the more popu-
lar and effective tubular boilers. Packer
No. is in state Of indefinite
suspension The entire shaft is being
re-timbered and this work will hardly
be completed before the middle, or latter
part Of May and then more alterations
or improvements may be taken in hand and
the colliery may not start up again before
July. However, much depends upon the con.
ditiop Of the coal trade and, should the out
look warrant the step the repair work may
be pushed with extra vigilance and all the
collieries made ready by June.

JUDGE BEoHrEI's s DECISION



License TO Joseph Anderson.
In refusing to grant detectives license to
Joseph Anderson, of town, Judge Bechtel
handed down the following decision
The act under which this application is
made is the Act approved May 90, 1887, p L..
173 After providing for the manner Of
making application and the length Of time
and price of license the second section pro-
vides as follows but no such license shall
be granted until satisfactory proof Of the
competency and integrity of such person or
persons shall have been made to the court by
petition or otherwise" Objections have
been filed against the granting of this ap-
plication and petitions presented for and
against the same. Under these circumstances
testimony was heard upon both sides While
the applicants testimony, consisting of that
given by himself and Chas Dudurk and
George Anseavage, tends to the question of
his fitness and some experience in another
state yet the applicant admits that he has
been charged with larceny, though not ar
rested, and is now bound over under charge
Of false pretense. He was appointed upon
the special force and denies that he was dis
missed tberefrom by the then Chief Burgess.
In this he is contradicted and it is shown that
he was dismissed for abuse of his authority.
In short, the evidence in support of the OBJ
jections so seriously attacks his fitness and
integrity that we cannot say he has complied
with the provisions of the Act which forbids
the issuing of license until proof Of the
competency and integrity of such person
shall have been made. 1t not only fails to
show this but on the contrary seriously
attack his honesty it consists not only of

PENNSYLVANIA REVENUES.
Three Now Taxation Bills introduced
I'm the Legislature.

In the Legislature.
Harrisburg, April 6.-Three import
ant revenue bills were introduced in
the house last night. They were franz
ed by Deputy Attorney General Elgln,
and are intended to be party measures.
one taxes direct inheritances, and it
is expected to yield 100000 year The
bill eXempts real estate and fixes the
rate of taxation on mixed and per-
sonal property at 50 on every 500, clear
value. All estates of $4,000 or less are
exempted by the act.
If the tax is paid within three months
after the death Of the decedent an
abatement of per cent is allowed II
the tax is not paid at the end of a
year ~ per cent interest is added, and
in cases where the estates, from liti-
cation or other causes, cannot be set
tied up in a year a charge of z per
cent interest win be made. If the prop-
erty thus in dispute shall not be pro-
ductive to the extent of per cent the
heirs shall not be compelled to pay a
greater amount than they have real
lied. The bill provides for the collec-
ton of the tax bv the same method
as is employed to collect the collateral
inheritance tax.
Another bill taxes corporations claim
ing to be insolvent and whose capital
stock, therefore, has no value. The
bill provides for taxation that the value
of the stock shall not be less than that
of the property. This scheme will yield
S5OO,O0O a year to the state. The third
bill taxes certain corporate loans A
meeting of the ways and means COM
mittee win be held this evening to act
upon these and other revenue bills.
The senate was in session less than
an hour. a number of bills were read
in place and properly referred among
them the New Jersey bill authorizing
a tollbridge between Bristol and Bur-
lington, N. J.

SHENANDOAH, PA, April 5, 1897,
For several years the Rescue Hook and
Ladder Company and Columbia II. & S. +.
E. Co. have been sprinkling the streets of the
borough on a cooperative plan and dividing
the collections equally. The arrangements
proved very satisfactory to both companies
and the public, and last year the Rescue
company continued It, notwithstanding it
invested in large 60O-gallon sprinkler and
the Columbia company continued the use of
its old sprinkler, giving inferior service
This year the Columbias invested in a new
sprinkler On Saturday, last, the trustees of
the Rescue company called on the trustees of
the Coumbias and asked if the cooperative
agreement was to continue, but received no
satisfaction. To-day the committee of the
Columbias started to make independent
collections
The object Of this notice Is to inform the
public that, under the circumstances. the
Rescue company does not expect to receive a
share of the collections made by the Column
bias and will hereafter make its own collec-
tions. The public has been generous to the
Rescue Hook and Ladder Company In the
past and in return the latter has tried to give
the best service in its power 1t will try to
continue doing so and hopes to receive the
same encouragement it has already received
at the public's hands
With gratitude for past favors we remain,
