half-back, proved that he was equal to
anything In the business. He made sev-eral
line runs and always made gains when
given the ball, With Bulger, who has no
superior outside of the college teams, by
his side, the local team has a clever pair
of half-backs. Ellam played end in the
Hi si half and play a good game, making
s,,n xc.ellent tackles, while 11. Shaw,
who took Kllam's place In the second half,
made some pretty tackles, and would have
made the longest run of the game for a
touchdown had he not tripped. Herron,
another new candidate, played a good
game at taeko, and as Crawfonl Is "right
at. home" in almost any position nothing
need be said as to his work at full-back.
Ramsey, last year's guard, lias been called
upon to play ceuter. and If his work In

TM Arrest al Seeater Qaay
Regarding the arrest of Senator Quay
au Interesting story was told yesterday by
one who has Inside Information.
He called attention to the fact that the
last day for Ihe marking of cases for trial
during Octolier was Saturday, and that
the warrant was not Issued until It would
be too late for the Seuatoi to be tried In
ourt until after the election. Whether
the Senatoi be guilty or Inuocent be can-not
have a trial until after the election.
Judge Gordun, ho continued Is the legs)
advisor of Preeldeut McManes of the Peo-ples
National Bank and had aocess to all
the impels of the bank when It failed.
The judge wanted to lie the Democratic
candidate for Uovenior. Col. McClure, of
the Times hates the judge with an uudy-
Ing hatred and will do anything possible
to defeat his ambition. The Colonel and
Senator Quay are fast friends, and the
fil Is of the Judge say that the two of
ttiein defeated Judge Gordon and forced
the nomination of Jeuks.
There was an uudorstandliig, it Is said
iietwceii Wanamaker and Judge Gordon.
Mr. Wanamaker did not allow hla name
to go before the Republican Convention.
It looks as if there were au understanding
to the effect that Wanamaker would run
independently for Governor had Gordou
HBM nominated, as Mr. Wanamaker did
not decline to run until after Gordon was
defeated.
Had Gordon been nominated the pro-gram
was to draw enough votes from the
Republican parly by the Wauamaker tick-et
to defeat Stone and elect Gordon, then
when the senatorshlp was to be voted for
the lleinocrats would turn In with the
Wauamaker Republicans and elect Mr.
Wanamaker Senator.
Senator (Juay was too shrewd for them
and upset tholr scheme. Gordon was
turned down und Jenks named and it looks
new,If Stone is not elected,it will be Swal-low.
Tho arrest of Senator Quay, It is
said, grows out of the turning down of
Gordon and the defeat of the "Reformers"
schemes.

Clearer Matt Die
Judge Woaud at Norrlstown on Tues-day
refused a new trial for James A. Clem-mer.
who was eonvleted as one of til*
principals In the murder of Mrs. Emma P.
Kaiser, and pronounced the seutence of
death upon him. Before uttering the
words that sealed Cleininer's doom, Judge
Weand asked him if he hail anything to
aav. lu reply the prisoner, the picture of
despair, said:
"I don't know that I have anything to
say at this time. My counsel have said
aud dona all that could possibly have been
done, and It would be useless for me to
give any reasons that should prove ray
uuoceuce. The malice of the people and
tbe public press both combine against me,
and, although I could give many reasotis
that would also prove that I was uot on
that road when the murder was com-mitted,
it would lie useless now."
Cl.'miner had hardly finished when
Judge Weand said:
Thejury which convicted yoiidi.lsoouly
after a long and thorough trial, lu which
yon were defended by able counsel; but it
seems to me that the evidence warrants
the VSrdlot. Kaiser's story against you,
and the fact that he assisted In the crime,
making it all more dastardly. You have
led a dual life. You have left a good
wife for a woman who you knew was bad.
It la to lie hoped that the punishment
you receive will lie a warning to others.
You still have time for repentance. Re
not huoyed by the hope of a new trial or
pardon, for although the same may come
through some (law in the trial of this case,
It Is far better for you to make your peace
with your Maker than to be buoyed by
false hopes."
While Judge Weand pronouuoed sen-tence
every one in the court room remained
standing. The silliness of death prevail-ed,
aud many persons were iu tears. As
the Court concluded the above words that
seal.-I the prisoner's fate, Clouvner burled
his face In his hands anil wept.
