Harrisburg, April 9.-The joint COM
mittee of the legislature investigating
the origin of the capitol fire had am
other sitting yesterday for the purpose
of hearing Dr. Swallow on what he
knew Of the fire. He made several
statements during the hearing as to
hearsay matters, but there was moth
ing important developed. DIR. Swallow
was called upon to produce the per-
sons who had given him the informa-
tion upon which he had based his
charges. He refused because, as he
said, to do SO would prejudice his libel
case and his witnesses would be tam
pered with He alleged that a woman
whom he had summoned as a witness
had been seen by somebody and she
was his witness no longer. A gold
watch, he said, figured in this transac-
ton Another witness had been offered
$780, The hearing will be resumed
next Tuesday evening, when DR.. Swal-
low will produce other witnesses,

RIVALRY AT THE AUCTION.

What Happened When Two Women
Each Determined to Become the Pos
SCISSOR of a So Cup and Saucer.
It was the third day of an auction
sale of the china, bric-a-brac and fur
niture of the last representative Of an
old New York family. Things had been
quiet for time when the auctioneer
reached No. 706 on the catalogue, which
was cup and saucer Of sevres china.
1t was a very pretty bit of sevres, cley-
ervl decorated and frail enough to SUIT
the most artistic fancy. 1t was such a
piece as might be purchased at any fine
china or glass store for 50, and 1t Ger
tainIv would not have been reasonable
to expect more than 81 for it at auction
sale. 1t happened that two bargain
seeking women had marked that cup
and saucer for themselves. When the
auctioneer YEARLY remarked in his pro-
fessional tone: What m | offered for
this cup and saucer? Guarantee goes
with every piece Gimme bid, please ~
he was amazed at the shrill voices
which called out simultaneously:
"One dollar
The two women peered across at one
another. ..
tone:
"A dollar and a half"
The auctioneer took in the situation.
What more could an auctioneer want!
