Philadelphia, Feb. 13.-The corpse
of a we'll dressed young woman was
found today in the manure pile at
the Union Transfer Company,s sta

gives rise to the foul play theory Of
her death. The manure pit was clean
ed out yesterday and the body must
have been placed there within the
past tWenty-four hours.

position was manifested in either
house against the bill was caused al
most entirely by one members am
bitions with regard to possible fu-
ture solicitorship. It is to be re-
gretted that his selfshness which
caused him to lose sight of the good
of the State and disregard his oath
prevailed inasmuch has got what he
went after, but there was some COM
fort in seeing the houses overwhelm-
in,7ly vote down others who tried to
defeat the bill because the success of
this fellows scheme injuriously affect
ed them.
Although this legislature has failed
with regard to almost every other i'm
pol.tant subject it has tackled, it looks
as if it will accomplish important
financial legislation. What with the
raising of the State levy from AZ
mills to mills and the franchise tax
and the saving the State will get for
the Pollock tag tax bill if it passes,
it looks as if the good old ship of State
will have smooth sailing in the fu-
ture. The increase of half s. mill IN
the, levy is regarded as necessary,
and this will likely be done without
serious opposition. The bill has
passed She house without a voice be-
inc raised against it, and there is
every indication that it will pass
the senate.
Biennial sessions are an impossi-
bilaty for the present. The next ses-
sion will act upon reports that will be
submitted by special committees ap-
pointed to sit in the recess aud
block out the necessary amendments
that will have to be submitted to the
people before biennial sessions can
be put into effect Strange as it may
seem the sentiment in favor of bien-
NAL sessions comes from two widely
different sources. The economists ad-
yocate it because they think it will re-
sul5 in saving in the annual expense,
and others because they believe the
statute books WILDE relieved of SO much
useless and burdensome laws. But the
Strongest influence that is being
brought to bear in favor of the change
TO biennial sessions comes from the
corporations, which are always in a
nervous state as long as the legisla-
ture is in session. The big corpora
t,ons want to be relieved once every
two years of the danger of injurious
legislation, Of the nervous strain they
have to undergo in these 20 days, and
the cost and annoyance Of keeping up
with the work andblocking and check
ing and heading of bills calculated to
hurt them.

Columbia, Feb. 1s.-The senate to-
day. without debate, recommitted the
Mauldin bill abolishing hotel and beer
privileges by a vote of 16 to 13 on
motion of Cole L. Belease. This likely

Columbia, Feb. 1.-THE senate
killed the bill to allow part of Alb
beyille county to vote itself into An
derson county.
/. The senate is shying at the bill to
write the Dick federal military law
into the Sonth Carolina statute law,
which the friends of the bill contend
is necessary to pass in order to get the
federal appropriation Of $4,000 year
for military purposes. Some see a
niger in the woodpile. Debate
was adjourned until the night session.
The house today passed concur
rent resolution fixing the time for the
joint assembly to elect the judges fer
the new ninth and tenth circuits at 4
O'Clock next Thursday afternoon. In
the up-country circuit the race has
narrowed to contest between Repre-
sentatiyes Thomas P. Cothran and
George E. Prince, Solicitor Boggs
having Withdrawn. In the low circuit
the Charleston bar has put up Mr.. 4.
W. Meminger whom the Charleston
delegation is supporting although Mr..
Huger Sinkler of the Charleston dele
cation has been urged by number OF
solid delegations to make the race.
There is also talk of putting up. Mr..
st. Julien Jervey, but he is bound by
the action of his bar and has not so
far allowed his name to be used. Re-
preventative Fishburn of Colleton will
be nominated and thinks be will be
elected. Ex Senator Gruber has been
talked of but he will not be nominat-
ed. Altogether itsis funny race, and
the Charleston man may be beaten
after all. Mr.. Willim H. Parker of
the Charleston bar, who was spoken
of as likely candidate, is here work
ing for Mr.. Memiuger. Representive
Whaley says he would resent it as a
personal affront and insult if anyone
were to try to get him elected over
his protest.
The house has stalled just now
in front of a bunch Of politics it has
uncovered in the bill to authorize the
State house commission to get plaus
and spci6cations for new dome for
the State house. The commission says
it is confused by the conflicting re-
ports Of experts as to the safety OF
the dome anc heSltaGes TO. proceed
with the completion Of the State
house until more experts settle the
matter. The present dome erected by
Architect f. p. Milburn under the
direction of State house commission
composed of State officers was con-
demned as unsafe by the next COM
mission made up Of members of the
assembly. through its architect, Mr..
G. c.. Wilson, rival of Mr.. Milburn.
Next the government expert called III
By the governor declared that the
dome was safe. Then the commission,
deenling the government mar biased
because of his relations toward the
original State House commission,
called in three other experts, who
each in turn decided against the dome
and in favor of the commission's ex-
pert. The house adjourned while the
debate was in progress.

Gins of New York State.

Higgins of New York, was dinner

at tn. White House. Invited to meet
and dine with the governor, were Sec
rotary of State Elihu Root and Post
master General Cotelyou.
The conference, admittedly import
ant, began at the dinner table and con-
tinued until late hour. The New York
political situation was considered with
special reference to the disclosures
made before the insurance Investigate
ing committee. The evidence taken at
the insurance inquiry has involved sew
eral politicians and that subject was
discussed thoroughly at the conference
The conference ended shortly after II
O'Clock, tonight. and Gov. Higgins made
a statement in response to inquiry from
newspaper men, explaining that the
President had said he was not for or
against any particular man and did not
propose to interfere in the selection of a
chairman of the county committee, but
WIS anxious, that whoever is selected
Will oe a man of the highest character
and reputation.

When Mr.. O'Brien stated his plan he
said:
Now, Mr.. President, there will be
a committee to carry out our plans and
we need a head. Will you help u.s."
Il most emphatically WILL was the
answer of the President. According
to Mr. O'Brien's report to the COVER
nor. Il will be glad to help you in
any way can. Mr. OBrien carried
this news from Washington to st. Paul
without saying a word to anybody and
would not have allowed it to become
public now had not Gov. Johnson seen
the Importance of the matter and di-
rectcd Mr.. O'Brien to make detailed
statement to the press.
The contemplated meeting of the
state officials as proposed by Mr..
O'Brien will not be held until the five
states now investigating the three big
companies have completed their work.
The call for the meeting will probably
emanate from this state, Gov. johnson
and Mr.. O'Brien taking the lead.

DUETOGASE EXPLOSION
FOUR PERSONS DEAD AND MORE
THAN A DOZEN INJURED,
THREE FATALLY.

Ishpeming, Mich, Nov. 6.-Four chill
dren are dead, three persons probably
fatally hurt and a dozen other people
are injured as the result of an explo-
sion, which completely destroyed the
Miners National bank. The dead are.
Stephen Goodman, aged twelve; Lo-
retta MCGEE, aged ten; Edward Nc
Grath, aged twelve; Edward Kiser,
aged fourteen.
James f. Mullen, an employee of the
bank; Thomas Flanagan, aged sew
enty years, and Mrs. l.. f. Small were
fatally injured.
Two steamfltters had been engaged
to make repairs to the heating plant
and as they entered the building they
detected the smell of gas. They
thought little Of the circumstance,
however, and as they passed intdHthe
furnace roc they struck a match to
light the gas jet. A tremendous e
plosion followed. The two workmen
were blown through a basement win
dow and landed uninjured In an open
boxcar standing on a nearby track.
Another car was blown from the rails.
The building was completely wrecked.
The four children killed were pass
ing the building on their way home
from church and were caught in the
falling debris.
