DR.. SWALLOWS CASE,
Argued Before the supreme Court on
an Appeal from Dauphin Court.

Harrisburg, March 10.-The case of
Rev. DR.. S. c. Swallow, of this city,
late prohibition candidate for state
treasurer, was argued before the Su-
perior court today on an appeal from
the decision of the Dauphin county
court in suit instituted by Captain
John c. Delaney, superintendent of
public buildings and grounds. Dr.
Swallow was convicted of criminal
libel year ago and sentenced to pay
a fine of $500 and the costs, which
amounted to several hundred dollars
The case was appealed to the Superior
court and has since been pending
owing to the failure of counsel on both
sides to agree upon a time for argu-
ment.
Ex-Deputy Attorney General James
A. Stranahan and Edwin w. Jackson
of Harrisburg, and Thomas II. Mur-
ray, Of Clearfield appeared today for
Dr. Swallow and argued that the court
below erred in refusing to admit GER
tain evidence to prove the doctors al
legation that extravaganza and corrup-
ton had been practiced in fitting up
the public departments. His attorneys
gone before the jury a different verdict
would have been rendered.
Charles H. Bergner, John H. Weiss
and Lyman d. Gilbert, for Captain De-
laney, argued that the excluded testi-
mony had no bearing on the case; that
it was immaterial and could not be
admitted under the principles of law
governing libel cases.

INSURANCE BUSINESS
OF THE PAST YEAR
Annual Report of Colonel James
Lambert. Commissioner--Consid-
erabie Mortality Among Speculative
Companies.

Harrisburg, March 10.-.The annual
report of Colonel James ii. Lambert
insurance commissioner. for the year
ended December 81, 1897, shows that
while the premium receipts for the
year were but little more than in the
preceding year the losses paid were
almost $4,000 less. The reports of all
the companies reporting to the depart
ment show an increase of nearly $4,000
900 in premium receipts as compared
with 1896, while the losses were nearly
S3,000000 less. Losses paid last year
amounted to s6,469, 1862 as against
5,26S. S60.02 the year previous.
The commissioner states that there
was considerable mortality among the
speculative mutual companies. Twen-
'ty-five of these companies have Jeen
compelled to quit during the last three
years. Colonel Lambert commends the
purely mutual companies which are
conducted at small cost honestly and
recommends that these concerns be
prohibited by the exact terms of the
law from issuing cash policies. He
states that the per cent. tax on gross
premiums which has been paid by
many companies under protest, is in
the nature of double taxation and is
obviously unjust. From January / to
December 81, 1897, the receipts of the
department amounted to $63, ,OS452: the
expenditures were $l5,354.07; divided as
follows: Salaries, 81. 400; misCellan-
eous expenses, $3.945.07 leaving a bal
ance of $47,73035 turned into the treas
ury as compared with $39. .4S9 06 for the
preceding year.
The result of the entire fire. marine
and inland business done in this state
by all companies, home and foreign,
stock and mutual, in 1897, is summar-
lied as follows:
Premiums received by stock COM
panies. 11,79S 1928; premiums and as
sessments of mutual companies. s2146.-
1928, a total Pennsylvania business of
$l3,944925.26; losses paid by stock COM
panies, $685., ,4636O; mutual companies,
s1,270, S06.0S; total losses. $S237, ,769 6S.

WOMAN BETRAYS A BRIGAND.
Charged with Eight Robberics After a
Dozen Terms in Jail.

ShamOkin, Pa, March l0.-George
Fandela was sent to Jail by Justice
kearnev, charged with having robbed
eight residences. He was captured in
house full of articles of all kinds
which are now being identified by vari-
GUS people. He was found to have been
shot -four times, near Naples. Italy,
where, since childhood, he was a motor
ious brigand, having been i'm Jail twelve
times.
The Italy officials last year purchased
ticket for him and told him to go to
the United states. He came direct to
this place, and after a brief stay re-
turned home but was again forced to
leave. Since his second sojourn in this
place, nine months ago, many hold-ups
and burglaries have been committed
and the police are certain he was large
ly responsible for most of them.
He engaged Miss Mary Bricela to
keep house for him, and during the
winter he came home early every morn
ing with booty. She finally concluded
that he was a burglar. He said he
would kill her If she informed the
police, but last week the girl informed
the authorities. Many residents are
afraid of the brigand, and are raising
purse to have special counsel to as
sist the state to send him to jail for as
long a term as possible

philadelphia, March i0.-Thc rumor6
Of lobbying in connection with the
several bills before city councils for the
transfer of the city water works &c pti-
vate corporations which have prevailed
for some time had their culfnination
in direct charge of attemrted hrib-
cry made by a member of common

The meeting was a special session
called for the consideration of the
measure known a,s the Schuyllill VAL

been taken up Walter y. stevenson,
member from the Thirty-second ward,
declared that he had been offered $4,000
10 vote for the bill. He further stated
thai he was reliably Informed that
members who were voting for the bill
were getting from 900 to $4,000 for
their votes. He asked that an imme-
date investigation be made.
The declaration of Mr.. Stevenson
caused a profound sensation in the
chamber and has no doubt proved a
death blow to the bin.
other opponents of the bill followed
with remarks corroborative Of Steven
sons charge and amid great excitement
Il motion was adopted by "a vote of 81
To Ill to indefinitely postpone the con-
sideratiuu of the bill The special ses-
sion was then adjourned.
INVESTIGATION WILL FOLLOW.
At the regular session later in the
day the demand for investigation of
the bribery charges was discussed with
considerable animation and resulted
finally in tn" adoption of a resolution
providing for an immediate and full in
vestigatiGn of the charges by commit
tee of seven. on this committee the
president appointed Messrs Costello,
Davi6Gou McCurdy, Swain. Dixon,
Hultz and Thomas Wagner. all but one
of whom were opponents of the bill
An amendment to the resolution was
adopted directing the committee to also
make full investigation of charges of
bribery in connection with the passage
OF the bill in November last which
leased the city's gas works to the Uni
ted Gas Improvement company for a
period of thirty years.
The Schuvlkili Valley Water bill re-

bars for a much longer term. Last
evening, when being taken to Jail by
Deputy Sheriff Fields. he told the lat
ter that when he got out he would Kill
Judge Clayton and District Attorney
Schaffer.
Deputy Sheriff Fields reported the
threat of the convict to Judge Clayton
this morning. The court acted prompt
ly. Immediately ordering that Ray be
required to give $1,000 bail to keep the
peace before he was set free at the end
Of his term.
As Ray is the sort of man who will
have TO wait a long time for any one
to go on his bond for $1,000, especially
after his threat to murder, he might
be doomed to Imprisonment for life un-
less the order is annulled.
