QUAY DEFENSE SCORES.
Expert GoId-nhith's Testimony Badly
 Shattered.


 Shattered.
 Philadelphia. April is.-Expert Ac- countant Meyer Goldsmith, the com monwealth's witness, was under n scorching lire of cross examination all day, and the result justifies the opinion that the network of evidence wrought by the prosecution from the books 0 the broken bank tending to show Sena- tor ouay's guilty participation in the unlawful use of the banks money was very much shaken by the admissions the witness was compelled Co make un- der the skillful questioning of Attorney A. s. l.. Shields. Nearly all of the ap- parently damaging entries attached to Senator Quay's name or account in the bank as testified to on Monday were ex- plained away or greatly modified by the statements of the cornmonwealth's own witness. Lawyer Shields got from the witness the admission that If Hopkins had properly credited Senator ouay's account with amounts that belonged there the books would show that at the beginning of the alleged conspiracy. Nov. r, 1896, the senator owed the bank only s236 instead of over s70,000, as is al- legged.
 Mir. Shields put a different complex lon on the entries in the ~red book" by compelling the witness to admit that many of his figures were not proved by entries in the regular bank books, but were the result of what he practically acknowledged to be his ''guesses" at the meaning of certain unintelligible figures written in the red book" Goldsmith was still on the stand when court ad- journed for the day. and the questions put to him near the close were full of promise of interesting developments. Much of the sting was taken out of the ~'shake the plum tree" telegram by the statement that the purchase of Metro politan stock contemplated thereby was made with Sl0.000 of Senator Quay's own money. his deposit at that period exceeding s60. 900.

BRIBERY AT HARRI SBURG.
House Committee Reports, Naming Alleged Conspirators.

Harrisburg. April le.-Majorlty and minority reports have been presented to the house by the committee which has been Investigating the charges of attempted bribery in connection with the balloting for United States senator and the consideration in the house of the McCarrell jury bill. The latter bill. which was eventually defeated. was said to have been introduced to aid Senator Quay in his trial in the Philadelphia courts.
 The majority recites the testimony taken by the committee and says the evidence disclosed clearly that undue means were taken by many persons to corruptly solicit members of the house both for the purpose of influencing their official action in reference to the Mc- Carreil jury bill and in reference to their official action as to the election of a United States senator. This corrupt so- licitation. the report says, consisted of offers of money, position, advantage and political preferment.
 The report charges that in further anee of conspiracy to carry out the scheme rooms were maintained at the Lochiel hotel in Harrisburg for the pur- pose of having members of the house
 
 preached in reference to the subject matter referred 10. Those who main- tained these rooms and corruptedly ap- preached certain members. according to the report. were John J. Coyle. Charles B. SpatZ, Thomas R. Moyles, Michael J.. Costello and Martin Lawler.
 The committee reports that there is In its opinion sufficient evidence against Charles E. Spatz. John R. Byrne. Par ker Titus. Frank B. Jones. Monroe H. Kulp. Thomas NJ. Moyles. Robert Evans. John J. Coyle and NJ. J. Costello for the house to direct that criminal proceed ings be brought against them in the court of quarter sessions of Dauphin county.
 Spatz is at present a member of the house from Berks county and is Dem ocrat. Kulp was a member of the Eff ty-fourth and Fifty-fifth congresses from the Seventeenth Pennsylvania dis trict and is a Republican. Coyle. Cos tello. Byrne and Moyles were formerly in the legislature.

DYSPEPSIA. There Is Hope For All Dyspeptics If They Will But Take the Proper Remedy. Nnoi Is the Medicine, Above All Others, That Will Cure You Quickly.
DYSPEPSIA.

Dyspepsia is due often to demoralized nerves. More often it may be traced directly to the stomach which has been oyerworked and has become unable to properly perform its duties. If you suffer from dyspepsia and will take Vinol, you will find how quickly cure may be accomplished. If it is the nerves, Vinol gives vigor to the nerves, but above all, Vfnol aids the stomach to assimilase the food which is taken into it. .. This is the secret of Vinol's great success as a rebuilder and tonic- Vinol's medi- cinal action upon the stomach enables it to get good from proper food, and proper food should be eaten in connection with taking Ninol.
 We will guarantee that Vinol will cure dyspepsia and we will refund to any one their money if they do not find it so.
