The only issue was between Senator'Cameron and the Republicans of the state. Cameron aud the Caucus. Senator Penrose made a point of order that the resolutions of Senator Gobin and Senator Cameron and the action of a Republican caucus had nothing to do with the resolution.

The noint was decided well taken by the chair. Senator Gobin, continuing, said he had no desire to impugn the motives of Senator Cameron, but it was the bonnden duty of the senior senator to make an explanation of his act to the people of the state. Senator Thompson said tnat the United States senators from Pennsylvania had not expressed themselves by a vote either for or against the elections bilL Senator Cameron had told him that when it, the elections bill, came up he would endeavor to have it amended to meet his views. Robinson for Bayonets. Senator Robinson said the resolutio was a surprise to nim.

It seemed to be a day behind the fair. He did not think any Republican in the state was anything but in favor of the bill. He did not vhink the legislature could instruct the United States senators. They were superior to the legislature, bat they were not superior to the people and to public sentiment. States in the south bad been controlled by the suppression of the colored vote.

Presidents had been elected and men sent to congress by suppression of colored votes. He for one was in favor of putting the bayonet behind every vote. The Vote. The resolution was adopted by the following vote: i YEiS-Bates. Becker, Crawford.

When the resolution was read in the house it precipitated considerable discussion and some confusion at times. The first speaker was Coray, of Luzerne who said he would vote for the resolution, but that if he had felt called upon to present such a resolution he would have injected some virus into it in view of the emergency.

Baker, of Delaware, followed, stating that he thought the golden opportunity for voting on the question having goue by, and the day has passed when a resolution such as this should be passed. It seems like holding a post mortem. Personally I am opposed to the elections bill, because I don't believe it will pro- puce anything. (Democratic applause). I expect to vote for the resolution simply because it is an indication of what a great majority of the Republican party of this state is in accord with.

Responding to the toast, "Our Country's Prosperity Dependent Upon Its Instruments of Commerce, Mr. Windom said: speak briefly of the instruments of commerce la their relation to the wealth and tvosnerity-of our country. The subject ie Very broad and my time very limited. I therefore confine my remarfcs to the two chief instrumentalities of commerce- transportation and money.

A nation's wealth aud prosperity arc ally in proportion to the extent and success ot its commerce, and commerce itself is dependent upon the adequacy and adaptation of these two essmitlal instruments. Tne history of countries attests the fact that the nation best equipped in these re. apects rapidly becomes the most powerful, the richest and the most prosperous. Our own countrv is no exception to rule. No nation has ever fostered more and protected more oartfuliy Its inter- Ma and coastwise trade, than we have done the resultant magnitude prosperity Ot onr domestic commerce is, I believe, parallel in tho history of the world.

TEECTOX, Jan. large convention of building and loan associations is in session here for the purpose of form- i ing a state league. They were called together by Chief James Bishop, of the labor bureau. There are 236 associations in the state and of that number 135 were represented.

The assembly chamber at the Capitol was crowded to overflowing. These associations represent There are twenty-five associations from Caniden and all are represented. The association was called to order by James Bishop, and Judge E. Armsarong, of Cauulen, was made chairman. After a brief speech the business of the convention began by the offering of a resolution by Luther ScHafer, of Rutherford, that a state league be formed, and that a committee consisting of one delegate from each county be appointed to submit a constitution and by-laws.

Then began a lively discussion which lasted for two hours. Some delegates thought there should be a central organization to aid in fighting hostile legislation and to protect themselves against foreijm associations. There was considerable opposition to this. Theyconld see no use in such a league, and it would result in a state tax of 2 per like that in Pennsylvania. One delegate said that all tne wanted was to be left alone.

The mechanics' lien law passed last winter in the interests of the material men was attacked vigorously. A vote on the resolution was finally taken, and resulted in the agreement to form a state league by a vote of 14tf to 10D. MAMMOTH MINE DISASTER. One Hundred and Seven Bodies Victims Buried.

Government remembering his past services to the country, gave him a back pension, running something over $1,000. The reporter stopped long enough to say: "Will, Jim, here are my congratulations; I am glad'the Government has so generously remembered you in your old days." "Yes, by jove, it came in the nick of time. I am well aware that it don't take a lot of brains to carry a hod of mortar up a ladder to a three story scaffold, but the wear and tear on the muscles is not conducive to health, but on the contrary it causes a man to beeome prematurely old."

Toe Major made an able address and was attentively listened to. Col. Stewart then arose and delivered one of his characteristic speeches, which abounded with wit, humor and pathos. He is a brilliant and effective orator, and in language most eloquent and pathetic he portrayed the hardships and privations the soldiers were compelled to endure.

Well, I had scarcely finished my matntinal meal when a rap was heard at my door to which I responded.

The fellow proved to be a man I had been owing a small sum for the past 10 years. I soon "stood him off," but I had scarcely shut the door when another summons came and so it continued for two or three hours with people calling to have "that little bill settled." At noon I was so exhausted that I got it into my cranium that if the money did not soon come and the run made on me ceased, I wouldnot be long in this land to enjoy it."

We publish below the list of contributors, as near as conld be obtained, to the Good Samaritan Hospital, on Donation Day. These good people gave in money, groceries, house supplies and all kinds of goods and provisions which are necessary and useful for such an institution, the value of which, at a low estimate, can be placed at eight hundred dollars. The lady managers desire ns to again thank these generous hearted citizens for their liberality. The Hospital is doing a a splendid work, and the fact that one hundred patients have been treated there shows how much need there is for such an institution. It is estimated that it now requires about two thousand dollars a year to carry it on successfully so as to meet the requirements of the sick and wounded, it will therefore be seen that the ho'spital needs the generous support of all our people.

We hope this will be accorded it, and that before long we may be able to announce the building of a suitable and permanent home for the better carrying on of the good work: library for the Church oT Poor- Col.
