TWO SUICIDES IN ONE PAY.
That is the Record Made by Washing
ton Pennsylvania.
WASHINGTON Observer

Two tragic deaths In one day is an
unusual occurrence In Washington, but
such Is the record Of Saturday Mrs.
Fannie Wylie was found Saturday
morning dead in bed from the effects
of poison which she had taken, and
Thomas Miller was picked up on the
w. Il w. station platform In the even
ing with bullet through his right
temple.
The last tragedy enacted Is perhaps
the most startling of The two, as the
young man was widely known
throughout the town and had always
borne good reputation. He was the
only son of Luther Miller, the well
known builder and contractor OF East
Beau street and was q years OF age
He had been at home as usual for sup
per in the evening and appeared to be
in good spirits, and there was nothing
TO indicate that he was contemplating
self destruction.
The young mans father says that
Tom had $50 in the afternoon, but
what became Of 1t all is not known.
a 1OuhS ludu Wdo well kliOWu Ill
Washington, was of quiet and pleas
ant disposition and popular among a
large circle of friends. The father
and mother of the boy are unable to
explain the mystery OF the death and
are grief stricken over their sons trag-
ic end. The coroner, John j. Fitzpat-
rick, will make an investigation as to
the death, and II necessary will hold
an inquest this morning.
The other self murder victim was
Mrs. Fanny Wyley, of 81 East Maiden
street. The circumstances surround
ing this case are Of a rather sensation
al and unsavory character. The WON
an was found dead in the bed OF j.
Serge in his room at 54 East Wheel
ing street. She took the carholic
route.

UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS.
Foot Ball is Over For This Year Bias.
ket Ball And Base Ball Receiving
Attention.

G. e KFebbs, the giant guard of
the West Virginia university team
has returned from the west where he
played this season with the Universe
ty of Kansas. The latter did not
lose a game during the season and de-
feated its old rival Nebraska with
ease, the score being SO to 20. The
scores made by the latter were due to
goals from field made by Right Half
Back Benedict who established new
record by his performance on that oc-
casion. Four times he attempted
the goal and each time was success
full. One of these was made from the
60yard line, two from the 40 and one
from the 30-yard line. This record is
unparalleled in the annals of the
rt. L II. Yost, formerly of W.
V. q. who was member OF the ia
nous Three As Of Pittsburg, was the
coach of the Kansans. He is also at
home near here. He will probably re-
turn to the west next year unless he
comes to w. V. U. There is an effort
on foot TO get him here to coach and
IL it is carried out the best foot ball
team in the history Of the university
will result. Full Back Yeager states
that it will be either the best ever had
here or there will not be any team at
all.
Basket ball is receiving great deal
of attention and there are Sc eral
teams already organized. A fast arti-
Gle of ball is being played and the
,.eea expect to have some games with
other colleges.
In base ball, Manager ]. III. Dona-
hay, of Pittsburg, thinks that there
was never a more favorable outlook.
Nearly all of the old men are back
and the team will be especially strong
in the pitching department where it
has been weak for some years. Among
the old players who are here are Nc
Whorter, Yeager, Miller, Peck Lowe,
Bowman, Printz, Hodges, Grassland,
Deming and Dickey. A number of
new men have entered school and sew
eral others will be here by the time
that the season opens. Indoor prac-
tice will soon begin and will be kept
up until the opening OF the weather
+, -. Y..A-. A long schedule will be
arranged and will include about thirty
| five games. An eastern and western
trip will be included in this. A great
many of the games will be played at
! home.

PRESSING NEED.
Fifty Houses are Needed to be
Built Right Away.

Influx or Glass Workers will Come and
We will be Unprepared for It-What
a Business Man Says about It-Sene-
ca is Pointed TO as an Example--We
Ought to Get Move on.
The fact that there will be great
lack of houses in Morgantown when
the new factory starts up has been
alluded to several times in this pa
per but the extent of this lack is
hardly appreciated by anyone as yet
One of the well known business men
who is identified with the new com
pany was asked about this phase OF
the matter this morning by repre-
sentative Of this paper.
He stated that at least fifty houses
were needed right away for the &C
commodation OF the workers in the
new establishment. They would begin
to come in during the month of Jan
uary and would want them not later
than the first OF March. If they are
not looked after they will have ter
rible time coming here in the dead
of winter with no place to go.
The influx will not be as great all
at once as it was when Seneca To-
Gated at this place but it will be a
good sized one and the trouble that
will arise will make lots of bad feel
ing if something isn't done at once
There will be at least fifty new fam
lilies come in the first of February to
the first of March. They will want
some place to stay and there isn't a
great many houses that are availa-
BILE just now for them.
He stated that he expected to
start several houses himself in order
to help out with the matter and
urged that everyone who could do SC
should put up some houses to rent
in order to accommodate the people
who will be coming in.
1t has been the policy to get heads
of families as tar as possible SO that
the boys in the family may also be
given employment and this source
of worry removed Oil tao pe.lt e = -, /,
officials. They will come from mum
Der of towns and only the best OF the
workman are being secured. They
will make very desirable addition
to our population and should be
made to feel at home from the start
Morgantown was not ready when
the other factory came here and she
should look to the past for lessons in
what she should do in the present
status of affairs. The word should
be passed along to build them quick

Philadelphia, Alfred Noble of Chi
cage and George Wisner, to formu-
late a final report to submit to Con-

The report will recommend the
building of an automatic dam across
Niagara River at the foot of Lake
Erie, to cost not more than So, 000,-
900. 1t is represented that such a
dam will not materially deepen the

TIE ON QUAY.
Members of Senate Committee
Unable to Agree.

.

Seott's Case May Come First Sen
ator Burrows Thinks That Quay will
Not be SeatedHow the Governor
Went Too Far.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE case of
Ex-senator Quay is in pigeon hole
in the room of the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections. Chairman
Chandler called meeting OF the com
mittee for Thursday morning for the
purpose Of oranizing, but when the
case of Mr.. Quay will be taken up is
in doubt.
1t Is possible that the cases of Scott
of West Virginia, whose seat In the
Senate is contested by McGraw. Re-
publican, anu of Clark of Montana
may be considered before that of Mr..
Quay. Ii the committee should de-
eide upon such course IL will be sew
eral days, Ii not weeks before the Quay
case will be reached. The probabili-
ties are, however, that Mr.. Quay's
case will be taken up.
The committee is short one member
but that vacancy will be filled the lat
ter part OF this week. The full COM
mittee will be composed OF nine mem
bers--five Republicans and four DEM
ocrats.
As 1t now stands, Ii IL believed to
be equally divided on the question OF
seating members on credentials issued
hv
difference whether the majority or
minority n les the favorable report
The Senate Is not guided so much
by majority reports as the House.
In the case OF Corbett, the mai ,rity
Of the committee was In favor of giving
him his seat. but by vote of so to
10 he was defeated.
The majority OF the committee In
the case Of Mantle also favored him,
but he, too, was defeated. There is q
growing sentiment In the Senate
against giving members seats on Gu
bernatorial appointments. Many of
! the older Senators fear that it will
eventually result in deadlocks In all
the Legislature, and that the intent
Of the Constitution will never be car
ried out
Discussing the question tonight,
Senator Burrows said that the Con-
stitution of the United States meant
that the Legislatures of States should
elect Senators, and that IL was merely
an afterthought Of the trainers of the
Constitution that Governors were
given the authority TO appoint when
vacancies occur when the Legislatures
are not In session. The Constitution
never intended, said Senator Burrows
that when Legislatures failed to do
their duty the Governor should fiji
the vacancy.
'sAs / understand 1t, the Constitu-
tion of the State OF Pennsylvania ex-
pressly says that when the Legisla-
ture fails 10 choose Senator 1t is the
duty OF the Governor TO call the Leg
islature In extra session for the pur-
pose OF electing Senator. IL that is
true Governor Stone has exceeded his
prerogatiye. /"
The first credentials issued by Gov
ernor Stone to Quay and presented to
the Senate by Senator Penrose on
Monday seem to have been faulty.
and to-day Mr.. Penrose presented a
new and more carefully drawn certifi-
cate.

prove very successful and the battery
