MASSACHUSETTS ELECTRIC CON-
 o A MES.

Boston--We understand that while 1t was expected the subscriptions to the Massachusetts Electric companies would be largely from business interests who would see the prospective profit ill the common stock bonus, a considerable part of the subscriptions have thus far come from trustees, and some of them from the most conservative trustees in Boston, who are looking for the return and security of the preferred stock.
 The effort of the managers of the Mas sachusetts Electric companies has been thus very promptly appreciated by the trustee interest. The plan has been and Is to make a conservative investment out of our home electric railways sur rounding Boston. These railways have been of small capital with limited field for operation, but each railroad carry ing a full complement of officials. They have been selling upon a higher basis than per cent. interest return, but the purchasers saw that by uniting these power plants, making larger market, and a consolidated management. they could divide the stock so as to reach two classes of investors-give the coneer- vative class per cent. stock free of taxes that should in time sell above par while the common stock, at present earning per cent, could take the chances and growth of the future for dividends beyond 2 per cent. per an- rum.
 The reason the trutee element has so promptly appreciated the preferred stock feature of the plan is probably to be found in the fact that home railroads are to-day selling at the highest prices and the lowest investment return at which they have ever been quoted Not one of them pays the investor as much as per cent.
 The Massachusetts Electric companies in offering per cent. preferred stock free of taxes, at 105, carrying a bonus of 30 per cent. in common stock, is something to be contracted with the yield of the other home railroad invest ments now in the market as shown in the following table, which we have com- piled:

CITIZENS
PRIMARIES
Nominations For Borough and ward
Tickets Made Yesterday.
THE VOTE POLLED VERY LIGHT I
Some OF the Ward Contests Ran the Ballots
up. But the Aggregate vote was the
Lowest Cast in Several Years
at the Party's Primaries.

The primaries Of the Citizens party opened
with surprising lack Of spirit yesterday
afternoon and for more than an hour there
were strong indications that the aggregate
vote would not exceed more than 400 To-
wards six o'clock there was an active move
ment in the First Second, Fourth and Fifth
wards and at the closing hour a total of over
700 votes was polled. The Third ward, how
ever, failed to develop. The voters in that
district were surprisingly inactive and a total
of only 6s votes were cast or more than 400
less than were cast at last Springs primary
This was due to there being no contests for
Council and school Board.
It is shown by the figures below that a
great many voters failed to take an interest
in the contest for the High Constable nomina-
tion Where large votes were polled in
wards the interest was aroused by local con
tests. As in the Second ward the ward
coustableship pulled out III votes, more than
the total cast for High Constable In the
Fourth ward 2S2 votes were cast for Council
and but 266 for High Constable. In the
Fifth ward the total vote for the latter office
was a. short of that cast in the contest for
School Director. In the Third yard, where
there were no contests for ward offices, the
vote for High Constable sank almost into
oblivion
According to the returns made by leaders
in the respective wards the results are &C
cepted with good grace by those who failed
TO secure nominations and, if any sore spots
have been made, they are not apparent TO the
general observer. Good feeling prevailed at
each poll after the result was announced and
the indications are that the Citizens party
will line up fully united aud strong for the
impending battle for the opposition party
As one of the results of the primaries the
candidates selected for the Citizens borough
ticket are Morgan Hopkins for High Con
stable, he having secured 81 votes more than
John ID. Hughes, his nearest opponent; and
and W. j. Watkins for Borough Auditor.
The latter had no opposition.
The official returns on the former office
were as follows

Senator Quay's name was again connected
with that hoo-doo number, he having just
thirteen votes short of enough to secure his
election. The indications are that the House
will find itself tomorrow without quorum,
if all those members who express desire to
go to their homes avail themselves of the
opportunity.
Senator Finn last night stated that anti
Quay Republicans would offer rewards aggre-
eating $10,0 for proofs of corruption, actual
or attempted to influence members of the
Legislature for or against any proposed legis-
lation. This morning public announcement
was made to that effect in the shape of fam
ing posters.
There is a good deal of local politics in the
bill to appoint An additional judge in
counties of over 100000 population. 1t
would apply to Schuylkill and create a court
between the Justices and the Common Pleas,
Mine Inspector Williams, of Wilkesbarre,
is candidate to succeed Mr.. BrOwnlee as
Chief of the Mining Bureau. When his
friends called on Governor Stone, they met
with little satisfaction. There isn't mem
Der from that county voting for Senator. 1t
is said the appointment will go to the bitum-
inous region again. Mine Inspector Stein, of
Schuylkill, is not a candidate.
SOMETHING GOING ON.
There is growing suspicion that Senator
Quay's friends are meditating some coup that
will work to his advantage before many
hours, although they deny that there is any
practical change in the situation. Things
remain just as they were" said Mr.. Durham
| this morning, and this was the vague char
acter of the information vouchsafed by others
of the Lochiel coterie. But there is obviously
increased activity and energy among them,
and apparently increased confidence in their
ultimate victory.
The anti-Quayites are puzzled as to what is
going on, and are trying hard to find out.
Senator Martin this morning admitted that
he was entirely in the dark as to the myster-
ious operation aediatiug from the Lochiel,
but it was his opinion that something was
going on"
I'VE haven't been idle ourselves, however" +"
he said, 'and we think we are match for
the other side and thoroughly able to meet
and counteract every trick that they at
tempt"
One rumOr is to the effect that the Quay
managers threaten to attack certain anti
Quay members and leaders, sustained by afi-
davits and court records, and that few will
fall next Tuesday; another is that the Quay
men paired with Democrats and "antis' will
take advantage of the absence Of the latter
and elect the ''old man" These are mere
rumors; however, there is something in the
wind, and coup" from either side may be
expected at any time.

He Is Not Drawing Pay as Brigadier
General of Volunteers.

He Is Not Drawing Pay as a Brigadier
General of Volunteers.
Harrisburg. Jan. 27.-The appoint
ment of a committee by the caucus Of
Democratic senators and members to
inquire into General Gobin's right to
preside at the joint assembly OF the
senate and house has excited much in
terest among the legislators and poll
ticians at the state capital. General
Goblin claims the office Of brigadier
general of volunteers Is not incompat-
ible with that of lieutenant governor.
In an interview he said:
The question of what constitutes
an office in the contemplation of the
constitution has been under consider
alton for some time. That section in
our own state provides that no mem
Der of congress or person holding any
office under the United States shall
exercise the office OF governor or lieu
tenant governor 1t has been held that
trainers OF the constitution had not in
contemplation a prohibition as to Of
flcers commissioned in a volunteer
army-which is not permanent in
stitutlon, and could not be provided
for in a constitution. 1t is the re-
suit of an emergency. The prohibition
was certainly intended to apply to
permanent offices or positions, and in
a military sense to commissioned Of
ficers Of the regular army.
"A misapprehension evidently exists
as to the pay of volunteer officer on
leave. An officer is entitled to a GER
tain number of days leave In a year,
and the year Is computed from the
lst Of June. I have already had 30
days leave, and am not drawing any
pay from the United States as brig
adler general, being absent on leave
without pay Nor would l, II return
ed to duty. accept pay from the state
while drawing it from the govern
ment."

Harrisburg, Jan. 27.-Apart from the de-
termination of the anti-Quay men to go into
Lebanon county and make a fight for the
election Of man of their own as the sue
cessor to General Goblin rs Senator, nothing
more than the usual confident attitude Of the
opposing leaders was developed this morn
ing. Contrary to the general belief the
Judiciary General Committee failed to act
upon the bill usually known as the McCar.
rell bill. The bill has passed the Senate on
second reading but will meet with much op-
position in the House, with the Democrats as
usual holding the balance Of power. There
is no doubt that the majority of the members
of that party have no objections to the bill,
but the question with them is one of political
expediency 1t was rumored to-day that the
bill would be withdrawn or amended so as
to not apply to pending indictments, and
thus make grand-stand play.
DEMOCRATIC MEMBER DEAD.
Harry Manning, member of the House
from Cumberland county, died here to-day
from pneumonia His home is at Newcastle.
Mr.. Manning was one of the two Democratic
members from that county, and supported
jerks in the Senatorial contest. His death
was unexpected.
The committee appointed by the Demo
cratic caucus to inquire into Gen. Gobin's
eligibility to preside reported that after a
cursory examination, that they had arrived
at the conclusion that he has no right to pre-
side over the joint convention.
MANY ABSENT TODAY.
When to-days joint ballot was announced
it was found that eighty members were
