The Quay Charges.

me 0uhN tnuTEes.
GThe charges against Senator Quay fol-
lowed the collapse Of the Peoples bank in
March, 1895, and the examination of its
books by a receiver. The warrants were
issued in the following October and in
cluded besides Mr. Quay and his son, the
names of Charles II. Mckee Pittsburgh
lawyer, and ex-State Treasurer BENJAMIN
j. Haywood. On November Fl the grand
jury found true bills against all but Mckee,
The suicide of Cashier Hopkins just prior
to the banks failure, prevented his coming
within the scope OF criminal action. The
indictments were five in number. These
were reduced TO four by the death of Mr.
Haywood on February % of this year. One
week after true bills had been found coun-
sci for Mr.. Quay and the other defendants
filed demurrers to four of them and moved
to quash the fifth. Judge Finlotter on De-
cember l decided against the defendants
Counsel then carried the case to the SUI
preme court, on the plea, among other con-
tentions, that the prosecution was actuated
by political motives which would prevent
an impartial trial in this county. The SUI
preme court declined to interfere The
trial was set for February 20 and was post
poned until the 9th when it was again post
poned until Monday of last week.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 22.-Immedi-
ately on receipt of the news that Mat
tncW .. quay was dCqullltu OI the
charges against him, Gov. Stone APP
pointed him United States senator to
fill the vacancy until the next legisla-
ture meets, and notified Vice President
Hobart as follows:
''Sir: BY virtue OF the power vested In me
as executive of the state of Pennsylvania,
under article /, clause 2, section 3, of the
constitution of the United States, here
by make temporary appointment of Hon.
Matthew Stanley Quay to be United States
senator from Pennsylvania to fill the va
cancy now existing in this state. Very re-
spectfully,
WILLIAM A. STONE,
Governor of Pennsylvania"
Gov. Stone said that in appointing
M. S. Quay he felt that he had done the
fit and proper thing. He thought it
would make the issue and is better done
now than by waiting for weeks.
The authority cited by the governor
says that the governor of any state may
make temporary appointment during
a recess to hold until the next legisla-
ture meets.
