HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 15-After a
memorable struggle, Col. NJ. s. Quay,
regular Republican nominee for United
States SENATOR was elected today by the
Pennsylvania legislature to fill the va
cancy created by the expiration of his
term on March a. 1899. His combined
vote in the senate and house was 139, or
three more than the number necessary
to a choice. The house and senate will
meet jointly. at noon tomorrow to cam
vass the vote and declare an election.
Mr.. Quay's commission has already
been prepared and signed, and he will
take it to Washington tomorrow after
noon. ,A,s party of his friends will go
with him, to be present when he takes
his seat in the. senate on Thursday.
The Democratic vote was cast almost
solidly for Col James M. Guffey, of
Pittsburg, and that of the antiQuay Re-
publicanS- was divided among nine favor
ite sons. Representative w. ]. Calvin,
of Schuyl1ill, who, two weeks ago, voted
with the Republicans on the organiza-
ton of the house, was the only Democrat
who voted for Mr.. Quay. When he cast
his vote the followers of Col. Quay broke
into cheers, which continued for more
than a minute. Representative L. d.
Brown, of Crawford, voted for Rev DR..
Silas Swallow, the Prohibition leader.
Col. Guffey lost three votes by the alb
sence of Representatives George J. Ma
loney, of Venango, and Madison A. Gar
vim, of Adams, who were unable to be
present, on account of illness, and the
pairing of Representative Arthur H.
Squier, of Wyoming, with Isaiah r.
Haldeman, of Montgomery, Republican.
Mr.. Squier was present while his pair
was i'll at his home with typhoid fever
The solid Democratic vote in the SEN
ate was cast for Col. Guffey.
JAM IN THE HOUSE.
The widest excitement prevailed dur
ing the balloting in the house. Long be-
fore that body convened, at o'clock,
the chamber was packed with leg;sla-
tors and spectators. The crush at the
doors was so great that many members
had to have the aid of police to get into
the hall. The entrances We're guarded

rush to admit Representative Calvin the
door in one of the lobbies was broken
down, and the hall was soon crowded to
suffocation.
Speaker Marshall called the house to
order at o'clock, and directes the ser
geant-at-arms to clear the aisles The
house officers were unable to handle the
crowds, and the Harrisburg police force
was called in to assist them. Before the
ballot was taken Charles W. Neeb, of
Allegheny, and John H. ThomIAon, Of
Center, Republicans, who were absent
on account of illness when the house or
ganized two weeks ago, presented them
selves at the bar and were qualified by

LONDON, Jan. 10. The casualty list
shows that there has been a severe en-
gagement, with loss of 6 killed, IL
wounded and missing, at Murraysburg,
where the Dutch are said to have been
joining the invaders. Murraysburg is
sixteen miles west of Graaf -Reinet.
Indications are not wanting that the
decision of the government to send rein
forcements has not been taken a moment
too soon. Col Colvilles mobile column,
which has been pursuing ceie Beers, has
been, obliged to pest~at Greylingstad, to
erect block house and to cease opera
tions until reinforced by mounted troops.
Gen. Paget has taken his force to Pre-
toria to retit. Many of the men are suf-
fering from enteric fever.
Three hundred Beers captured small
British convoy at Bronkhurst Spruit,
near Pretoria, but made off after liber-
ating the prisoners. Gen. Brabant, while
addressing a conference of mayors at
Cape Town, said the authorities were
anxious to keep the war away from Cape
Town ii possible, but that the only hope
of doing this lay i'll sending 1000 men to
the front. He urged that no precaution
should be omitted to prevent the enemy

j. Edward Addicks Was Nine Votes
Short.

DOVER, Del, Jan. 15.-The result Of
last nights Union Republican caucus,
when sixteen members OF the legislature
nominated ]. Edward Addfeks for United
States senator, lent interest to the initial
vote for the two senator$hips taken sep
arately by the two houses of the general
assembly today. Prior to the convening
of the legislature today the anti-Addicks,
or, as they are termed, regular Repub-
l1cans held a caucus and agreed to vote
for Charles f, Richards, Of Georgetown,
for the short term for United States
senator, and Col. Henry A Dupont, of
Wilmington, for the long term The
Union Republicans, on the other hand,
recognize no candidate but Mr. Addicks.
The refusal of the regular Republicans
to go into the Union Republican caucus,
even with the assurance that they could
have the long term senatorship at their
disposal, indicated, as the first ballot
showed, that a deadlock would be the
result The total number of votes in
both houses is So, and 2T are necessary
to a choice. Mr.. Addicks polled l6

a souvenir was seized upon with rnorhId
eagerness. -
Ffed Alexander was arrested for at
tempting to assault Miss Eva Roth on
Saturday night last and he was charged
with the assault and murder Nov. OF
Pearl Forbes. Miss Roth was empIoyed
as seamstress in one of the large stores
and was returning home after work
Alexander had followed her some blocks
when, to throw him off the track. she en-
tered neighbor's house a few blocks
from her own home. When point
nearly opposite the residence of Prof.
Evans, on South Broadway, she was
again met by Alexander, who seized her
around the throat and bore her to the
ground. In falling his finger slipped
from her throat long enough to enable
her to. cry for help. Her cry was heard
by Prof. Evans, but when he had reach
ed the spot the negro had fed. A crowd
soon gathered, among them a coiored
girl, who said the mans name was Alex
ander. Alexander was soon captured
was taken to the police station.
CRIED FOR VENGEANCE.
News of the assault spread rapidly and
IL was not long until the streets about
the Jail were crowded with excited men,
determined to lynch Alexander.
The police in the meantime, however.
had spirited Alexander away, and when
the doors were broken in he was not to
be found The police had placed him
in hack and driven rapidly to the
state penitentiary at Lansing, a few
wiles away Before he was taken to the
penitentiary Miss Roth had confronted
and identified her assailant. The mob
dispersed when it became apparent that
assault upon the penitentiary would
prove futile.
Sunday, at a secret meeting attended
by people of all classes, a vigilance COM
mittee was formed. It's avowed pur-
pose was to lynch Alexander when he
should be brought back to Leavenworth
for trial and to rid the city of the dozens
of suspicious characters that had overrun
it during the past month or so.
The assault and murder of Pearl Forbes
occurred on Nov. last Miss Forbes,
