It is customary for a man to ride up with each stoue, in order to keep it from coming in contact with obstructions. When the stbne on which Burns was sitting had reached a point 30 feet high, the friction clutch on the steam derrick failed to operate properly, with the result that stone and man dropped suddenly to the earth.

The news that the marriage is tO take place marks the culmination of a very pretty romance, which had It* actual Inception here, although the young people did not meet until after Mr. Williamson left Plttston for th»D south.

Washington, Jan. 10.—Thorough investigation of all phases of the canal question is now assured. At a meeting of the senate Interoceanic canal committee a resolution was drafted and reported favorably authorizing the committee, or a subcommittee thereof, to Investigate "all matters relating to the Panama canal and the government o£ the canal zone and the management of the Panama Railroad company." The resolution was agreed to by the senate. New York, Jan. 10.—Missouri's power having failed, that of the Empire State was called Into play by Governor Folk's attorney general to make Henry 11. Rogers tell whether the Standard Oil company controlled the Waters- Fierce Oil company of Missouri, the Standard Oil company of Indiana and the Republic Oil company of New York, operating in the western state as independent companies. Attorney General Hadley through Henry Wollman, ltis New York counsel, obtained from Supreme Court Justice Davjs an order directing Rogers to show cause why he should not be compelled to answer questions along that line. Service of the order was accepted. It was remarked that the step probably would not disconcert the Standard Oil .company any more than had the rigovous nyifetioning by Hadley.

New Hnv&i, Count, Jan. 10.—Public opinlou over the decision of Coroner Eli Mix tfcnt Charles A. Edwards committed suilMe is slowly changing. Inflamed at first to (i point where the findings were characterized as "absurd," "ridiculous" and "outrageous," it has now cooled, and many admit the coroner bad ample grounds to justify hla action. EVANGELISTIC SERVICED He also made his original call bo as to enable the legislature to pass a bill for the consolidation of the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny, eminent lawyers having contended that It was impossible to pass such a bill under his original proclamation.

The committee Is empowered to send for persons and papers, administer oaths, employ stenographers and to bold special sessions during sessions of the senate. Association and Board Committees The evangelistic services at the Broad street M, E. church last even Ing were of an exceeding,y Interesting character. The congregation was thC- largest, except on Sunday evening, since the meetings commenced. Misb Mackenzie conducted the Introductory services and Miss March delivered th.e address with such power and unctloii that several seekers came forward to the altar and were happily converted The entire congregation were greatly Impressed with the service. There«ls a bright prospect of a good work being wrought through these meetings and it Is hoped that members of all denominations not having meetings o their own will attend them. Named for the Ensuing Year by President Sloan. The governor had a long conference With David Watson, the Pittsburg lawyer, Monday, at which it is understood he submitted to Mr. Watson a* copy of his supplementary call and It was decided that a Greater Pittsburg bill could not be passed under his original proclamation. The governor's supplementary call was a great surprise to his official advisers, nope of whom thought he would make any change in his original call, despite pressure for a uniform primary election system and a new ballot law. All of the subjects mentioned In the supplementary call will be considered at the coming extra session and will naturally prolong the session. Before he left here Thomas Winston, proprietor of the Magnet store, who is a southerner by birth, gave the young man a number of letter* of Introduction to southern people and among them was a note Introducing him to Miss Waldhouer. A short time after Mr. Williamson arrived In the south Mr. Winston received a letter from him, which stated that he had met MIbs Waldhouer and, between thf lines, Mr. Winston could detect that the meeting had been agreeable to him. It can be stilted with tilt* approval of tlie authorities thnt Charles A. Edwards, ill, depressed by financial reverses, after Insuring his life for $15,- 000 ($10,000 ilfe u ud $5,000 accident), inflicted futal injures upon himself by shot and poison and then threw away the instruments 'of Injury as If to hide tlie cause of death. This action is accounted for only by a clause In the life insurance policy invalidating in case of suicide before a certain time. President Sloan, of the Y. M. C. A., has appointed the following committees for the ensuing year: The resolution was precipitated by the president's letter, in which he challenged Inquiry, and by Secretary Taft's strictures on Chairman Shonts for the $628,000 Panama railroad bonds issue and the Markel payment. i Reception—F.

Standard Oil simply would take an appeal from the order and carry the question from court to court long enough for Folk's and Hudle.v's terms of office to expire.

It is said that] in the end congress will legislate to strip the president of plenary power over the canal, will fix salaries and Committee May Visit Isthmus. Boarding House and Employment— W. B.

After the Panama resolution was agreed to the remainder of the open session of the senate was devoted to a speech by Mr. Morgan on the railroad rate question, lie advocated the settlement of all differences over rates in thCD courts according to common law methods as calculated to do away with much awkward machinery. Rogers was again examined. It looked as if he hoped to make the proceedings seem as farcical as he evidently 1 bought it was. The attorney general had to caution him against levity and remind hlih the examination, though conducted at a long distance from the state authorizing It, was a serious piece of court business. The oil man's almost invariable reply when pressed was, "I decline to answer." He clung Among the subjects mentioned in the original call are personal registration, State treasury reform pud senatorial and legislative reapportionment.

Senator Bacon in supporting big resolutions contended for y,.pufcilic discussion, and Senator Spttbnor declared that the adoption of the resolution would be an encroachment by the senate upon the constitutional rights of the president and virtually would charge him In a manner amounting almost to Insult with ignorance of his duties as chief magistrate.

AVOCA MAN KILLED. An election was held in the Sixth Legislative district of Luzerno county yesterday, to nil the vacancy in tne otaie .House of Representatives caused by the resignation of Hon. Lorrle Holcomo, about the closc of the last regular session. There were two candidates for the office—David Lewis, of sugar Notch, tno choice ot tne Republican organization, and Michael F. Shannon, of Wilkeubarre township, a Democrat, who ran on nomination papers on account of the fact that the Democratic organization held no primary election. Comparatively little Interest was taken In tho election on account of tho fact that the election was for the special term of the Legislature only and the salary of the position for the' period mentioned wilt be only $500. At the last regular i election in the Sixth district. 3,277 v6tes were cast, for representative, but at yesterday's election jobs than 2,000 votes were cast. The returns, with the exception of a few districts that are not expected to change the result, show that Lewis received 6&4 votes and Shannon 834, thus giving the 'election to Lewis by about 100 votes. The Democrats carried the district last fall at the county election by 500 votes. , Now the scene of contest will be transferred to the Legislature. Mr. Holcomb, who icsigned the position and who repented of his action when pGovernor Pennypacker called a special session of the Legislature, says that he will claim his seat, believing that because 1h£ Legislature did not act on hlH resignation,, he continues a member.
