..The Governors Session"


Both branches of the State Legisla-
ture met in the new Capitol at Harris
burg. last Monday afternoon. and
organized with their old officers and
clerks.
In the House the expected opposition
to Speaker Walton and Clerk Garvin
did not materialize. and the only sensa-
ton in that line was the effort of Messrs
Hays and Hockenberry to oust jim
Moore from his place, put in this they
were not successful.
The Chaplain who prayed IN tne
House referred to sins Of omission; ano
in the Senate, Herbst, Dem. attempted
a humorous speech.
The Governors Message was read'
and was well received. though 1t IS
characteristic document. 1t begins with
a eulogy of the wisdom and industry
of the last session:
''Gentlemen-The legislation enacted
at the last general session OF the Legls-
Iature deserves az a whole very nign
commendation. There was an absence
of those coruscations following the ex-
ploitation of crime and scandal which
appear to be 30 pleasing to many un-
thinking people, and the attention OF
the legislators was, instead, directed
toward measures looking to the ad-
yancement of our life and to the sub
stantial benefit Of the community. Re
suits of far-reaching Importance were
accomplished. And says that
sit nay well be doubted whether any
previous session of the Legislature was
more fruitful in good works or cid
more for the advancement of the public
welfare
And yet those same "coruscations'
etc. = brought about the political revolu-
tion that caused this extra session, or
as Pennypacker puts it, referring to the
Legislature. "Since its adjournment.
q wave of popular and political unrest
and commotion has spread over the land
and left its impress in our own Com
monwealth, as well as elsewhere. Such
upheavals, to whatever causes they may
be due, are to be regarded not as dis
asters. but as opportunities. 1t is at
sucE times that much may be accom-
plished by wise legislators to enchance
the public veal.
Then he says that the failure of the
Greater Pittsburg bill and the failure
OF the Enterprise bank have given the
legal occasion" for the reassembling OF
the Legislature, and proceeds to discuss
the subjects enumerated in his pro-
clamation, and tells the Legislature
that the good people of the Common
wealth are awaiting the outcome OF
their deliberations with keen interest.
All the bills. on all the subjects OF
the proclamations, had been prepared
in advance; and have been introduced.
and referred to the proper committees,
and unless there is fight on re-appor-
ment, the extra session will be a short
one.
On Tuesday several Legislative and
Senatorial superintendent bills were Of
fered- The administration senatorial
bill retains Butler and Armstrong cotln-
ties as the 41st district
Speaker Walton retained Plummer as
Chairman of the Appropriations Com
rnittee.
Three bridge bills were offered, Tues
day, by far the most important of the
lot being one by Mr.. Campsey, of Wash
1ngton. requiring public advertisement
Of bids for all brid ses and permitting
counties to issue bonds for bridge con-
etruction.

Shining Contrast.

PHILADELPHIA, June .. Joseph
X. Aiken, chief clerk to the supcrin
| tendent of the M~onongahela division
| of the PENNSYLVANIA railr1ad, has been
dismissed by direction of President
Cassatt. ,t
In his testimony before the interstate
commission Aiken said that
while his salary had averaged between
$50 and S126 per molth be owned near
ly $4,000 worth of coal stock.
He admitted having received checks
from coal companies and also gifts
from company stores.
He is the second clerk to be dismiss
ed by order of President Cassatt for
taking commissions from coal COM
panies.
w. G. Spangler. local agent of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Milton, Pa,
who was Il witness before the inter
state M commission, testified
that in addition to his duties us rail-
road agent he also acted as sales agent
for the keystone Coal and Coke COM
pany.
He was made sales agent after u con
ference with Robert X. Cassatt, elnd
his appointment was made with the
knowledge and consent of III. b. Lin
coin, division superintendent of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Milton.
He received a commission Of 21a
cents a ton from the keystone Coal
and Coke company.
Il came here to vindicate Mr.. Frank
Thomson's memory and character"
said j. Mcclellan, a witness. Mr.. Me
Lellan resides at Blairsville, Pa. lie
was formerly a master mechanic and
road foreman.
He was not s%ubpoenaea by the COM
mission, but came voluntarily because
the impression had gone out through
the testimony of previous witnesses
that Frank Thomson. a former presi-
dent Of the Pennsylvania railioad, had
sanctioned the acceptance of gifts of
stock iii coal companies by officials
and employees of the railroad. He de-
clared this to be untrue and presented
Il letter written by Mr.. Thomson to him
as proof of his. statement.
He said that while he was in the EN-
ploy of the railroad Captain Alfred
Hicks, who was about TO organize Il
mining company, offered him Il block
of the stock.
'Frank Thomson, then president of
the railroad" said the witness, was
an old friend of my father. | wrote to
him asking his advice in the matter.
He replied advising me not to take the
Stock
The witness produced Mr.. Thomson's
letter, which was dated June 13, 1891,
and was as follows:
Il would suggest that you do not go
into the enterprise tfnyt t.
Later" said the witness, Il saw
President Thomson, andlh he told me my
character and honor We're worth more
than all the stock l could acquire in
that way"

DETROIT, Mich, June 9.-Eastern
Ontario was swept by a terrific wind
and rain storm, and us Il result all wire

Canadian points east of Chatham,
about sixty miles from here, was cut
off.

and filled the streets with debris, but
no loss of life resulted, and no one
was seriously lFlrt. Considerable prop
erty damage is reported from small
towns and farms between here and

just before 6 o'clock last evening. The
rainfall in less than an hour measured
1876 inches, and the wind in five min
utes sprang from a gentle six mile
breeze to forty miles an hour.
Trees were felled all over the city,
causing severe damage to wires and
putting several hundred telephones out
of commission. Several street car lines
were held up by broken trolley wires
for a time during the busiest hour of
the evening.
Unconfirmed reports of loss of life
on the river are current. One of these
reports was that eight lives were lost
on the river near VOLTS, a resort on
the Canadian shore a mile above the
head of Belle isle. Another was that a
child had been picked up by the wind
and swept off the Belle isle bridge.
Reports from the eastern part of the
state tell of a severe storm with o II
