REEDAHIGE4 ROLLER
Arrest in Philadelphia Brings
Out His Identity.
He Maintained a Handsome Residence
With Retnue Of Servants, at

The arrest of George Spencer, alias

was read with interest by Massachusetts,

was arrested in the Reading depot in
Philadelphia for obtaining $500 from
Charles Sweitzer, an aged farmer Of

was nephew of ex-Gov. Greenhalge Of
Massachusetts He wanted to buy a
farm for a widow. Sweitzer took him
out In his buggy and showed him seve-
raj properties, none of which suited.
While driving on the road they met a
man with whom Spencer engaged in a
three-card monte game at which the
stranger lost $4,000. The money was put
in tin box and the stranger said he
would meet the men again the next day.
In the meantime Sweitzer and Spencer
drove to Lowell, and there Sweitzer
drew $500 out of The bank Spencer. it
is alleged, grabbed the money from him
and put it in a tin box, SAYING he would
meet SweitZer the next day
SWeitzer, however, wanted his money,

HOME DRESSMAKING.
HOW THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN
DRESS WELL AT SMALL COST.
No Need of Looking Shabby Even
Though Times are Hard Easy TO Make
Old Gowns and Suits Look Like New
when One Knows How.

1t is astonishing how much can be
made from seemingly useless garments by
the woman who knows how. The old
faded gown that is out of style can be
readily dyed with Diamond dyes to a
fashionable color, and then made over so
that it will look almost like new. Suits
for the boys can be made from old ones
discarded by the father, and a bath in
Diamond dyes WAL make them look like
new. Dresses and cloaks for the little
girls can be made with but little trouble
and scarcely any expense from CASTOR
garments of the older folks, and when the
color is changed with Diamond dyes the
nade-overs will look as though they were
fresh from the dressmaker.
Diamond dyes are made especially for
home use, and the plain directions on each
package make it impossible for even the
most inexperienced to have poor luck with
these dyes. They color anything, from
ribbons, feathers and scarfs to heavy
coats and gowns, and make perfectly non
fading colors, even handsomer than those
made by the professional dyer.

WAR NOT OVER.
The Hanna and Anti : Hanna
Forces Still at 1t.
The Senator Tuesday Received One Vote
Over AlI--The Joint Ballot Now
in Order

Columbus, o., Jan. 1.-THE fractional
warfare against Senator Hanna is not
over. 1t was at least one day more of
charges and countercharges. The fight
has never been more bitter than at
present. Senator Hanna received 70
votes today, a majority of one over all
in total membership of las. The SEN
ate voted 10 for McKisson and II for
Hanna. The house stood: Hanna, S.;
McKisson, 40; Wiley, 1; Warner, 1;
LentZ, land one absent
The only absentee was Representative
Cramer, the democrat-populls member
from Paulding county, who is seriously
In. His physician stated tonight that
he could not possibly be in his seat to-
morrow. After the vote recorded today
in each branch of the legislature sepa-
rately, majority Of a quorum of those
present is all that is necessary in the
joint balloting, so that the serious ILL
ness OF Mr.. Cramer might become an
important factor. The scattering vote
today for Lentz, Wiley and Warner
was cast by Representatives Wiley,
Hazlet and Hess, all democrats. If
Cramer had been present, and all other
democrats in line, McKisson's vote in
the house would have been SO, or still
short Of a majority in that branch of
the legislature.
With Hanna having a majority of
three IN the house, McKisson having a
majority of two in the senate, the chair
will announce tomorrow that there was
no election today and that a joint ballot
will be in order. If all the senators and
representatives are recorded on joint
ballot tomorrow, as they were recorded
today on their respective ballots, Sena-
tor Hanna will have majority of only
one over ALL But in the absence of Rep
resentative Cramer, and in the event of
some of the democrats refusing to vote
for McKisson, he is likely to have a
larger majority.
With the result apparently hanging on
the change of only one vote, the contest
has continued tonight, as it has for the
past two weeks. The seven republicans
who refused to vote for Hanna today
have since signed statements that they
have burned their bridges behind them.
Senator Burke, Representative Scott,
Mason and Rutan say they VIII vote for
Hanna if the Otis charges are proven
to be untrue. Representatives Otis and
Bramley, however, simply signed codi-
ell to the statement of the other five dis
senters, in which they concur in asking
for an investigation, but they state that
they will not vote for Hanna under any
circumstances.
While the bureaus of claims and
charges are in full operation on both
sides tonight, as usual. there are also re-
ports about the bribery charges being
presented to the grand jury of Hamilton
and Franklin counties.
The grand jurors are in session in
both of these counties, and there are
reports tonight of efforts to secure in
dictments before tomorrow noon.

A TAME ENDING.
Civil Service Debate in the House
Closed at Last.
Discussion Continued a Week and Brought
No Tangible Result Fight
Started in the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE civil ser
vice debate, which was inaugurated in
the house a week ago, ended today. 1t
opened with row, but ended very
tamely. There was not even a vote on
the appropriation clause in the execu-
tive, legislative and judicial appropria-
ton bill, for the commission, upon which
the debate was predicated.
For the last twenty-hour hours at
tempts had been made to close the de-
bate, as the appropriation committee
has the deficiency bill ready for the
mousse. 1t was also mentioned that the
president was ready to promulgate his
order modifying the law, as soon as the
debate in the house ceased. With this in
formation the members favoring modi-
fcation consented to closing the debate
A motion was made to this effect this
morning and on aye and nay vote, the
result was a tie, 125 to 1875. and Speaker
Reed cast the deciding vote and de-
( clared the motion carried.
There are conflicting statements as TO
the situation in which the future con-
duct of the war against the civil service
law is left. All the republican opponents
Of the law agree that the fight is to be
ACPl up, anu II Is pOSltlNGty Sldleu ny
Mr. Pearson Crep., N. C.) that assurances
have been received from those in au-
thority in the house, that an opportu-
nifty will be given in the future for the
consideration of a bill to modify the
law. But from the other sources the
statement cannot be confirmed.
The debate today was quite dull until
the closing hour, when Mr.. Simpson, the
Kansas populist, enlivened it with some
references to the Ohio senatorial cleo
ton. Mr. Bailey, the democratic leader,
made a clear statement of the minority
position, which indicates that the minor
ity will vote to repeal but not to modify
the law. The principal speech of the day
was by Mr.. Brosius, chairman of the
civil service committee, who defended
the law in a two hours speech.
3 Mr. Bailey dem, TeX), the leader of
the minority, closed the debate with
some remarks defining the attitude Of
the democrats.
With the conclusion Of Mr. Bailey's
Remarks. the time expired, and the bill
was reported to the house. 1t was then
discovered that those who desired to
vote to strike out the appropriation for
the civil service commission had ne
elected to make the motion in commit
tee of the whole. No vote therefore
could be taken, and the bill was passed
without division. The agricultural and
urgent deficiency appropriation bills
were reported to the house, and at 5.2O
o. IN. the house adjourned.
