Iaughingly recalled the strenuous days of

There were fewer than half n dozen off

slender, rather understood but alert elderly
gentleman the former speaker of one of the
most turbulent Houses in n generation
1t IS only Twenty-Five years since the
episodes | have mentioned occurred. yet
there wcrc only two men in the House on
Tuesday who were participants then.
James y. Moore, director OF tho lcgisla-

IN A certain Friday morning the anti

the majority. If they could get the Nc
Carrell bill back into a favorable committee
and hold 1t there the Quayites would be

Marshall appreciated this fact. He gave
Speaker Farr the cue and at ! O'Clock

Quayites rallied their forces after adjourn

SAMCEL J. NJ McCARRELL, of Dau-
~ rbin county, was o lifetime friend Of
Quay's. His fidelity was well repaid.
When he died last year he was one of the
Common Pleas judges of Dauphin county.
Before that he had represented Dauphin in
the Senate for two terms.
He was Of Scotch Irish stock. persuasive
and rcsourccful. Knowing that Quay had
the fight Of his life ahead Of him. McCarrcll
presented bill which restricted the com
monwealths right to set aside jurors in
certain cases.
1t was designed expressly to benefit the
senator in his approaching criminal trial.
When the bill got into the House William
T. Marshall, Of Allegheny. took charge of It.
He handled it so cleverly that Quay made
him speaker of the House at the next ses-
sion. Frank B. McClain. afterward Lieu
tenant Governor, was second in command
1t was the same Rule "a which caused
the downfall of Mr.. Spanglcr that created
the ruction In 1899.
Ward Il. Bliss, of Delaware. and General
W. II. Koontz we're the field marshals Of the
House in opposition to Quay.
