Death of Judge Williams

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. PA SEN
sation was caused here to- day by the
announcement Of the sudden death OF
Justice Henry W. Williams, of the Su-
preme Court, at the Continental Hotel,
in Philadelphia. He and Justice Green
were the two members of the higher
court who granted Senator Quay's petit.
ton for writ of certiorari and he ad.
ministered the oath of Office to Gov.
Stone last week. His death causes 8
vacancy which the governor will fill
and there is no doubt that such choice
pull will be used to the advantage OF
Senator Quay. There is absolute con-
fdence at the Quay headquarters in
spite of the discouraging outlook on the
surface. Ex-senator Andrews, who is
in charge, says it is only question of
time until Quay wins.
