TO 1NvEsrraArf MINERS.



Harrisburg. March 12 - Yesterday
was a busy day i'm both house and sem
ate. The former body held two ses-
sions, with second reading bills the or
der at both. The senate was in session
continuously from II until 1920 o'clock,
the most of the time being consumed
by the debate on the McWhinney reso-
luton to investigate the condition Of
the miners i'm the Pittsburg bitum-
inous district. The resolution was
amended to have the investigation
made by the house and senate COM
mittee on mines and mining, 80 mem
bers in all. Senator Flynn, of Allie
gheny fought this proposition and
after numerous counter amendments
and considerable hot talk the senate
adjourned without taking final action
on the resolution.
In the house the bin amending the
compulsory education act to provide
for truant schools was read the sec
ond time, and then sent back to the
education committee. The bill pre-
pared by the state fish commission
provoked a short and heated debate.
Mr Focht, of Union, undertook to
amend the proposition to make the
minimum size at which black bass
may be taken at six inches instead of
nine, as proposed by the measure. A
compromise was offered making the
minimum size seven inches, which was
adopted

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
stephen Mensinger Row in Jail For the
Murder of His Father.

Murder of His Father.
There are no new developments in the
murder case Of Daniel Mensinger Of Beaver
Valley, an account Of which appeared in
Tuesdays HERALD, except that the one son
Stephen, with whom he had quarrelledi was
suspected and warrant was issued for his
arrest by Squire John w shuman yesterday.
The warrant was placed in the hands of a
constable from Mainville, who arrested
young Mensnger last night at the home Of
his uncle, in Beaver Valley, where he had
been staying since his fathers death. He
was given hearing before Justice Shuman
and committed to the Bloomsbury Jail.
Since the deed was committed Stephen was
noticed by the residents in the vicinity Of
the murder of taking daily walks to a ledge
of rocks about one quarter of a mile from the
homestead, which led to suspicion. He
would remain there for some time and then
return to his work in the barn again. This
ne had planned out as his hiding place,
should he be compelled to flee from justice.
A thorough investigation showed that the
hiding place contained a number of blankets,
the gun with which he committed the deed
and which was bespattored with blood, his
fathers new suit Of clothes, one loaf Of
bread, one boiled ham and his entire personal
property All the articles have been taken
in charge by the authorities and will be used
as evidence in the trial

THE "wINDY" FIGHTERS.
A Conference Called to Find Out what
They Want.

Iney want
Carson. New, March 12.-For a time
yesterday it looked as if there would
be a regular row between the camps of
the fighters regarding the interpreta-
ton of the rules of the ring made by
Mr.. Siler. Dan Stuart, however, took
matters in hand and in a short time
he had managed to patch up peace
and avoid a threatened storm. The
main obstacle in the way of pulling off
the fight without a squabble was Fitz-
simmons, who declared that he did not
like the reading Of the rules made by
siler and that he did not propose to
agree upon anything until he and Cor
bett were in the ring.
Stuart Immediately ordered a car
riage and drove out to Fitzsimmons
ranch, and had a talk with the lanky
fighter. The result was an agreement
for a conference this afternoon be-
tween representatives Of the two fight
ers.
Il am not making any objection to
the rules as a whole" said Fitzsim-
mons, call I want is to keep the other
fellows from getting any advantage
over me. I want an even show, and
nothing more than that. And more
than that, ! can lick Corbett, and l
will do it if they do not work any fine
schemes on me-"
When Corbett was called on he
agreed to the conference. and added:
81 understand that Fitzsimmons is
kicking on the rules. just as 1 said he
would. All / care about is to keep
Fitzsimmons from getting any undue
advantage. l want nothing myself
that I am not willing to concede to
him, and there is no use of my telling
Siler that l agree to a thing or object
to that thing until 1 know what Fitz-
simmons is making a kick about. As
long as he has a chance to object tC
anything he is going to do it,"
