BEAVER, May 3l-The funeral of
Senator Quay here today WAS marked
by the simplicity which the great
leader requested The weather was
gloomy and frequent showers occur
red. Notwithstanding this fact there
were thousands of strangers i'll town,
many of them distinguished men of
state and nation, to pay their repsects
to the prominent dead.
Following private services at the
home, the body of the dead senator,
through solid phalanx of humanity,
was carried from the Quay home to
the First Presbyterian church-almost
opposite-a few minutes before 10
O'Clock, and from that hour until
O'Clock, when the edifice was closed,
there was an almost constant string of
people filing in and out past the casket
in which the face of the dead was dis
closed.
The pews were marked off for the
relatives and distinguished visitors
and when at O'Clock the church wa
comfortably filled. the doors wer e
again closed,t to prevent overcrowdipg.
During the time of the funeral the
Beaver valley was as quiet as a tomb.
Not a wheel turned in the mills and
factories. not store or shop was open.
Many places of business were draped
in black. The street cars of the Beaver
Valley Traction company. who operate
six lines and twenty miles of tracks
were draped, and as the cars passed
through Beaver they were run slowly
and not gong sounded during the
day.

SUCCESSOR TO BE
ELECTED AT once

Cincinnati, February 15.-As the Ohio
Legislature is now in session, Senator
Hanna's successor will not be appointed
by the governor but at once elected for
the terms expiring in March, 1905, and in
March, 1911.
Less than seven years ago Hanna, who
had never before held office, succeeded
John Sherman as senator and had over
seven years yet to serve, having just last
month been reelected. During the past
week there has been much comment
about the senatorial succession.
Among the names mentioned In TINS
connection have been those of Governor
Herrick. Charles P. Taft and George B..
Cox of Cincinnati ]. III. Hoyt of Cleve-
land. J. Warren Keifer of Springfield, Gen.
Asa w. Jones of Youngstown and Con-
gresham Dick. Grosvenor Burton. Nevin
and Warnock Senator Hanna lived in
northeastern and Senator Foraker in
southwestern Ohio. 1t Is believed by
some geographical condition Is likely to
ada to the chances of Governor Herrck
or Congressman Dick, who reside In the
lake district.
For years candidates for United states
senator have been endorsed by state con-
vention so that the governors action was
merely perfunctory. but now there is ev-
cry indication of an old-time free-Ior-all
hpht before the legislature.
