THE M'CARRELL BILL,
Senator Henry Says 1t is in the Interests
of QuaN.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-The McCar-
rell bill to prevent district attorneys
from standing aside jurors, passed the
senate finally today by a vote of %
to II, after vigorous debate, which
had occupied almost the entire ses-
sion.
All but two democrats-Messrs Boyd
and Stiles-voted in the negative with
the antiQuayites. Senator Henry of
Philadelphia, speaking tonight for the
anti-Quayites, said: THE McCarrell
bill is purely in the interest of Senator
Quay, and 1t was to be expected that
those who are voting to return him TO
the Senate would favor it's passage.
Should this bill become law, it will
revolutionize the trial OF criminal cases
in our state. There is little possibility
Of it's being enacted into a law, as it
will surely meet defeat in the house of
representatives. The forcing of this
lill-considered and dangerous measure
through the senate shows to what ex-
IRENE measures Quay will resort in or
der to gain his ends. Never before in
the history of this state has such a
desperate attempt been made to defeat
the ends of justice. 1t will fail, how
ever as all such outrages on decency
deserve to fail.

BIDS FOR THE Cove
No Applications for the Grant
Received Yesterday by
the Board Of Works.
THE REASONS ASSIGNED
shortness Of the Term Of Lease
and Absence of an Outlet
Deter Bidders.

Yesterday afternoon was the time speci-
fed by the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners. for the reception Of bids
for the leasing of the South Cove.
When Clerk G. II. Bouton walked down
the lobby to receive the bids there was
no response. No one seemed to want the
grant The reasons assigned for this are
twofold. First, because OF the limited
period mentioned as the extent OF the
lease and secondly because there is no
outlet to the grant.
you see," said Commissioners Anthonr
Hauck. there is strip 800 feet long ia
front of the grant, which was flled in by
the Central Railroad Company. This
completely shuts or the grant and renders
it of doubtful value to possible big lessees.
What is required is that the law offlears
of the city should at once begin suit and
compel the railroad company to take out
that filling, so that the city can gain
access to the bay beyond I can't OF
course say what the Board will 40 about
It; we must have another conference. It
may be that we will have to modify the
terms of the proposals, but as to that /.
am not in a position to say. Sonlefhina
however, should be done irnmediaTely be-.
cause the tract is too valuable tc. be al
lowed to remain idle and unremunerafIFe' =
Another Commissioned thought that the.
pest thing TO do was to have a bill passed
IN the coming Legislature granting relief
while a third advocated the passaKe of 4
resolution requesting the law Officers of
the city TO at once begin proceedins,s s.
All or the Commissioners agreed thaf
nothing could be done with the tract until
the question OF the outlet was settled.

started four years ago, is a resource from
which churches in need of money may
borrow. The loan is made on strictly
business basis.
Board which was read by Rev. D. De-
Wolf, the attention Of the delegates was
called to the deficit in the convention
finances.
'sThe work of the convention" the re-
port read, .'has been handicapped by the
evil of deficit. They have fiuctuated in
amounts from $61181 in 1891 to g. 422. 35 in
1897, but whether more or less the oencit
has been ever present.
1.-THE convention at its present meeting
should speak in such decided terms that
the board would allow that 1t has the
backing of the pastors for definite plans
looking to forward movement. The def
cit this year is 81, 265. The demands for
missionary work the coming year are not
less than last year, neither can the ex-
penses be especially reduced. A fair esti-
mate of the needs for the coming year re-
quires at least S11 900 from the churches.
If advances should be made along the line
of Sunday school work, as was voted last
year by the convention, then there will
be required still larger amount.
The convention should say decisively
whether the board is warranted in con-
tracing obligations for SO, 900 or $100 900 or
$1,000. The definite plans should be made
to secure what is needed and force def
icits to the rear as things of the past"
A brief account of the condition of ev-
cry church In the State was given Fifty
six churches have been helped by the
convention during the year. and five
churches have changed pastors during the
year. The report declared that the year
had been conspicuous for its dearth of
spiritual results
It was reported by the board that the
year for the consolidation of the conven-
ton of the New Jersey Education Society
had been found to be inexpedient. The
question was discussed by the clergymen
present. Addresses were made.
