Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-12-02

The fact is that the democratic SeAa-
tors have the power under existing
rules of the Senate to prevent needed
legislation at this session Of Congress
and force an early extra session of the
next Congress. If they dare to take
the responsibility of exercising it, is
causing renewed agitation of the eX-
pediency of so amending the Senate
rules as to give the majority a right to
cut off debate on a bill whenever it IS
evident that it is being solely used to
delay a vote. This agitation isn't new
by any means. The same thing has
been voted down by the Senate any
number Of times and in many shapes
the last time was when Senator Mas
on's resolution, providing that after
every Senator had had an opportunity
to speak once on a measure the major
ity might close the debate, was sent to
the Committee on Rules to die, by a
vote of 92 to "a. Senator Hansbrough
strongly favOrS a rule giving Senators
the right to move that vote be taken
whenever satisfied that delay was pur-
posely being INDUCED in. He said;
"Such a rule would make it impossible
for any individual Senator 10 prevent
a vote, as is now the case, and would
give to a majority of the Senate the
right to decide when a vote shall be
had If this majority believed that the
measure had not been sufficiently de-
bated, or that undue haste was being
shown in the attempt to reach a vote
it would vote down the motion. Other
wise, we would secure decisive action
without prolonged delay. l am sure

confident that the harsh and impossi-
BILE demands agreed upon by the for

Tonight's Great "Bali."

Nothing but fun is promised the
patrons Of the Grand opera house this
evening, when that funny farce, "Finni'
gan's Ball" will be- the offering. This
skit is without much plot or seriousness,
yet the threads OF the story are held
together and exploited in most pleas
ing manner through no end OF comic
scenes, laughable witticisms and side
splitting situations. or music there Is
promised plentiful supply Of new and
up-to-date solos, medleys and ensemble
features. Moran aud Wesley are clever
comedians in their line, and In this
latest version OF ''Finnigan's Ball. are
furnished with better opportunities than
ever before. Assisting them are other
comedians Of splendid attainments, and
n host OF bright, pretty girls. The
entire scenic equipment is carried for the
three acts. which enables the manage
mcnt to offer performance complete In
every detail. 1t will be seen here with
the same company that presented 1t in

Lloyd Again Knocked Out.

Judge Lynch has handed down an
important opinion in the case of Archi-
tect A. Fl. Kipp against County Con
troller Lloyd. Kipp is one of the archi-
tects who submitted competitive plans
for the proposed new court house.
The agreement was that the five best
plans next to the one accepted should
be awarded 5000 each. Kipp's was one
of these five. The plan of f. j. Oster-
ling, of Pttsburg, was accepted, but as
the court house he planned has not
been accepted, and he has not been
paid, Controller Lloyd refused to cash
the order of the county commissioners
for the We prize plans, on the ground
that nothing was due them until Oster-
ling was paid. Judge Lynch decided
in favor of Kipp.

News OF the death of Randall Scott,
newspaper compositor, reached Sha-
mokin on Monday, the young man
having been killed last Friday by a
train in Florida. Five years ago he
was married in Wicomisco, Dauphin
county, to Miss Erma Williams, and a
year later Scott went away. Mrs.
Scott then made her home with her
parents at Williamstown. Three or
four weeks after her husbands depart
ure she received word that he had been
killed. AT first she doubted the report,
but as the months and years passed
without any word from him, Mrs. Scott
at last concluded it was true. Last
June she married Harry Fritche, of
Shamokin.
Soon after this Randall Scott visited
that town. Finding that his wife had
married again and was happy, Scott
went away. When Mrs. Fritche heard
of his death she was overcome with
grief

Fonr more men on the Shamokin
division of the Reading Railroad were
on Monday discharged by Train Dis
patcher Midget on orders received from
Superintendent Dice, of the Reading
Railroad Shamokin division. No rea.
son were given except their services
were no longer desired. The men are
all old railroaders, and are members OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,

established the main office of the com
pany is notified, after which notices OF
dismissal are sent out.

THE POLITICAL WORLD.
LOCAL HAPPENINGS IN THE GREAT
NATIONAL GAME.

Foster Republicans Have Named Their
Ticket and Both Sides Are Now al
Work-Borough Delegate Elections on
Saturday Evening-Other Notes.
Foster township Republican delegates
met at Woodside school house Monday
evening. George Fear was chosen per-
manent chairman and George Thomas
permanent secretary. The following
| ticket was nominated without opposi-
| tion:
Tax collector-Abe Lentz, Eckley.
School directors-Philip Brior, Drift
ton, and Edmund Williams, Sandy Run,
three years; Harry August, Upper Le-
| high, one year.
Supervisors-Charles Coke, Highland;
Samuel Miller East Foster.
Clerk-John Thomas, Halle Brook.
Treasurer-Joseph Roberts, Coke ad-
dition.
Auditor-William Stoker, Upper Le-
high.
The Democrats and Republicans of
the borough will hold their delegate
election on Saturday evening. As there
are few, If any, contests for offices on
either side, it is not likely that the
voters will experience any difficulty in
getting their votes into the proper
boxes. On Monday evening the Reput-
licans will make their borough nomina-
tions at the Cottage hall and the
Democrats will follow on Tuesday even
ing.
1t is taken for granted that Stephen
Drasher will head the local ticket for
burgess on the Republican side and that
Daniel Kline will be that party's
nominee for tax collector. Their re-
spective opponents, it appears, will be
John f. Boyle for burgess and Hugh
Malloy for tax collector. All four can
didates know something about local
politics, hence an interesting campaign
may be expected.
Both parties having made their nomi-
nations in Foster township, the battle
for votes is on. The Democrats are a
unit this year and have strong hopes
of winning. They have the advantage
in having some shrewd politicians on
the ticket-men who know every voter
in the township-and furthermore thew
know the weak spots among their op-
ponents.
The committeeman from the central
division of the middle coal field poor
district on Monday named Wilson S.
Campbell, of Mauch Chunk, for poor
director, and Albert H. Bleckey, of
Freeland, for poor auditor.
Erasmus Snyder has not withdrawn
as a candidate for tax collector in Eos
ter. Some industrious political liar"
is circulating this story throughout the
township.
At their convention Monday night
the Republicans Of Hazleton decided to
adopt the Crawford county system of
conducting the primaries.
Halle township Democrats will nomi-
nate their ticket at Harmony hall,
Hazleton, next Tuesday evening.
William Renhart and John H. Jacobs
have been nominated for school directors
by HaZleton Democrats.
The Democratic poor district conven-
ton will be held on Monday afternoon
at Mauch Chunk.
