Coffoe, for tho murdor of Police Officer Nevins, nearly two years ago, created intense excitement. The excitement over the above announcement was mild, however, compared with that which quickly spread throughout the city when it became known that Coffee had attempted suicide by cutting his throftt in the cell in tho county jail.

Washington, Jan. 19.—At a few minutes bofore noon yesterday Justico Lamar entered the robing room of the supreme court chambor. He was met by Chief Justice Waite, attired in the full regalia of his office, and holding in his hand the well worn bible upon which many thousand oaths have been registered. The chief justice read the form of the modified oath of office, which Judge Lamar repeated slowly with emphasis. RANDALL'S CANDIDATE DEFEATED Settlement. LARGELY AUGMENTED. FRENCH TERRITORY. AT HARRISBURG Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 19.—There can be little doubt that the struggle between the Philadelphia and Reading corporation and its striking employes is assuming an altogether different aspect from that it bore a week ago. Then there was some probability of an early settlement of the miners' strike at least; now there is scarcely any. A School Teacher Helplessly Witnesses the Death of Throe of Her .Scholar*.

In Hard county, D. T., a farmer who started for a doctor was found thirty-six hours after with his horse standing beside his dead body. A man six miles west of Millard left his house, telling his wife that if the storm increased ho would stay at the barn. He bus not yet lDeen found. Highmore, I). T., reports that Sister Wilimeva, of Stephen mission, was caught by tho blizzard on her return from the home of tho priest where she had boon superintending the laundry work. Tho quarter section within which the mission buildings are is fenced, and •when she was found by searchers using a rope to guide them she was standing up still alive. She was carried to her room, where she died. Mrs. Anthony Haby of twenty-flvo miles north is reported lost. Paris, Jan. 10.—One forious aspect in the unpleasant Franco-Italian consular incident at Florence has hardly been touched upon by the French papers. The real importance of the whole matter arises from the fact that it is mixed up with the Tunisian question. The Italian officials, in dealing with the property of the Tunisian general whose death at Florence brought the French and local authorities into collision, acted under the provisions of a convention concluded by the Italian government with the bey of Tunis in 1868 respecting legacies, which convention was specially confirmed by a treaty concluded in 1884. The French government on the other hand holds that the conventions have been abolished by the French protectorate in Tunis. Now Tunis has always been a very sore point in the dealings between France and Italy, and it is a matter of doubt whether tho Italian government would care to jeopardize its popularity by yielding to France on so delicate a point. Tho tone of the French papers respecting Prime Minister Crispi is not calculated, moreover, to give rise to a conciliatory spirit on the other side of the Alps. Harrisburq, Jan. 19.—"There are seventynine members of the state committee," said a Randall Democrat yesterday morning, "and we claim fifty-five for Sanders sure. Kii.ner men claim fifty-four sure, and somebody is going to be fooled." According to the preaent outlook the two parties to the great controversy have settled down to a protracted bitter contest, which will tent their respective resources to the utmost, and will only be determined finally by the utter exhaustion of one or the other of the combatants. After tho crier had proclaimed the opening of the court the chief justice unrolled the parchment and, announcing that the commission of L. Q. C. Lamar as associate justice had boon received, directed the clerk to read it Judge Waite then asked: "Is Mr. Lamar ready to take the oath?" Judge Lamar signified his readiness by bowing. He was then handed the oath of office as an associate justiro of the supreme court, which was inscribed on parchment. At 1:30 o'clock p.m. George W. Wurzell, associated with Attorney McKonna, of counsel for Coffee, went to the jail to notify him of the finding of the pardon board. After an affecting interview, during which Coffee broke completely down, Warden Berlin showed Mr. Wurzell to the door and immediately returned to the cell of tho condemned man. Tho warden fcflind Coffee lying upon the floor, his throat terribly cut ami blood gushing from the woimd. The jail physicians were summoned and at a glance discovered that tho windpipe was completely severed; one end of it protruded from the gash, and through it the respirations were made with ghastly gurgling sounds. The physicians at once pronounced the case hopeless, but rendered what temporary aid there was within their power. The ends of tho windpipe were caught and hold together with silver wires and the flow of blood reduced; but the patient, who had been removed to the hospital department, was slowly sinking. AU night and all morning the Randall and anti-Randall people worked -with a will to corral as many delegates as possible. It was noticeable that while both wings of the Democracy claimed a big majority of the members of the committee, yet neither of them let up in the least in the work of trying to get more under their banners. The advent of Mr. Sanders Tuesday evening gave a little courage to the Randall people, and they took heart enough to go to work. When Randall got here he received an ovation that any man would be proud of, and his presence not only Inspired his followers, but occasioned considerable consternation in the ranks of his opponents. Mr. Scott was up bright and early and put more life into his men. So confident were some of the Philadelphians who came here to elect Kianer of his success that they considered the battle over and left for home. There is little question that if Mr. Corbin should signify his willingness to arbitrate the difficulty with the miners separately from that of the railroad men the miners would meet him more than half way. Indeed, it is only the contemptuous indifference to the demands of the striking miners manifested by the president of the Reading road that gives the railroad strike any standing at all. The miners, incensed at the manner in which they are treated, and regarding Mr. Corbin's course as an insult to organized labor in general, are impelled thereby to a much warmer championship of the railway hands' cause than they otherwise would think of giving it. As for the railroaders themselves, they apparently recognize tho situation and are doing a lot of whistling to keep up their courage. Duii't. I■■t that cold of yours tun on. You think it a light thing. But n may ru-' into catbrrh. Or into pneumonia Or onnsurop'ion. Justice Lamar, who had arisen to his feet, read the oath deliberately, and when he reached the last clause he paused for an instant and, with impressive emphasis, added: "Ho help mo, God" He then passed out of sight behind the court, and when he emerged at the left of the bench he wore a heavy black silk robe. As he stopped beside the chair on tho extreme left he The court, members of the b&r and spectators rose to their feet and bowed to the new justice with great ceremony. Justice Lamar returned the salutation with an inclination of the head and then took his seat, vested with all the powers, privileges and emoluments of a supreme justico. C titrrh is difiruviii ii.

Word comes from Wolsley, near Huron, D. T., of two more deaths. A boy of 10, Runlet t Schofleld, left Wolsley just before the storm for his home with a load of coal. He unfastened the toum from tho sled and went some distance, when tho horses got into a snow drift. There ho left them. His body was found flve miles from the sleigh. The lDmse family live on a farm nino miles southwest of Wolsley. Katharine Druse, with a sister, were at the barn sixty rods from the house, when the storm came up.

Flourens, the French foreign minister, has complained to Big. Crispi, the Italian foreign minister, of Italy's delay in settling the French consulate incident, and warned Big. Crispi that if tho Italian judge at Florenco executes his threat to re-enter tho French consulate and seize the papers sought after, France will recall her ambassador and take such measures as the honor and interest of the country demand. There was considerable trouble in making up the poll, as there were a number of substitutes who, it was alleged, were not authorized, and they were challenged. The convention got to work finally and a count of the ballot gave the result as Kisner having received 42 votes and Sanders, 35. Cansternatton and dismay seemed to settle over the Randall men, and there were all kinds of apologies to offer for the defeat of their man. Pittsburg, Jan. 19.—There will be a general advance Ih wages on the Pennsylvania company's lines west of this city. This much has been determined, hence there will be no strike. No official notice of the advance has been given out, but the committee representing the employes has been given to understand by General Manager Baldwin that all the concessions asked will be granted, even on the leased lines. In the Pittsburg yards the Chicago scale will be introduced without the "time and half time" features. Wages to be Increased. LEGISLATORS AT ALBANY. The Quarantine Commission—Railroads Albany, Jan. 19.—There was quite a little breeze at the meeting of the senate committee on commerce and navigation yesterday. The questions under discussion were the bills reforming the quarantine commission. The one abolishes the fees of the health officer and makes the position a salaried one—$10,000 a year. The other changes the composition. After a partisan discussion it was decided to report the bills favorably, with the understanding that they be referred back to the committee for a hearing. to Build and Own Hotels.

The minority says it was refused an opportunity to have the mass of affidavits printed and examined, although the majority afterward showed that this request was reasonable by ordering the printing of the papers. The minority feels that a case involving such grave charges of fraud should not lie settled in this hasty, offhand manner by tho mere presentation of ex parte affidavits, and it urged a fitting investigation of the case. Failing in this, it was unable to vote, as it would on every pergonal ground have been glad to do, in favor of the sitting member's title to his seat. It believes that a reasonable showing having been made by the contestant, he should, in all justice and fair dealing, be allowed to establish, by competent evidence, if he can, the allegations of fraud, made by him. The minority docs not see why, if the charges be untrue, the contestants should so persistently oppose an in vestigation; and his opposition is, to its mind, so strongly corroborative of the claim made by tho contestant as to restrain said minority from supporting the majority resolution without an inquiry. The report is signed by Messrs. Lyman, Lodge, Houk, and Johnson, of Indiana. St. Louis, Jan. 19.—Patrick Singen, a dissipated Irishman, living at No. 910 Ann street with his wife and four children, put paris green in the coffee pot yesterday, with the design of poisoning his whole family. Luckily only one of the family drank the codec, a boy of 17 years, and ho was saved by prompt measures. No cause is assigned for the act other than a mere drunken freak. He has been locked up. Tried to Poison His Family. Miss Louie, Royce, a school teacher eight miles from Plain view, Neb., had but three pupils on the day of the storm. She started at -- p. m. with the children for a house about twenty roils distant, but lost her way. All laid down in the snow, and Miss Royce wrapped tho little ones up as best she could. Early in tho night ono child died, and later a second one, and just as morning broke the third child succumbed to the cold. Miss Royce then managed to reach tho house, less than twenty rods away. Both her feet aro badly frozen, and they will probably have to lie amputated. It is semi-officlally announced that Count da Mouy, the French ambassador at Rome, having informed M. Flourens that the pnetoi of Florence had intimated his intention to remove on Friday the seals affixed by the French consulate to tho documents relating to the Hussein succession, M. Flourens has requested Count do Mouy to inform Sig.

Sickles, Treadwell and Manning, civil service commissioners. Tho French consul at Florence has received certain instructions as to tho course to pursue in case tho incident is prolonged. Auiany, Jan. 19.—All hope for the condemned Whyo leader, Dan Driscoll, is gone. Monday he will pay the penalty for the murder of "Beezie" Garritv. Gov. Hill yesterday granted him a respite of throe days, after the court of appeals, in session at Albany, had decided that the caso was not appealable. In announcing the respite Gov. H.U explained that it was to afford a few more daj's for the condemned to prepare for death and to fix a day for the execution other than Friday, the one usually selected for executions, which custom the executive declares, in his opinion, should be discontinued. To Die on Monday. Harrisburg was fixed as the place, and the 23d of May as tho time for the meeting of the state convention.

It was in the shape of a bill introduced in tho assembly repealing the bill authorizing the construction of a tunnel under the canal at the place where tho bridge ought to be. The tunnel bill was a clover device by which the Matthiessen & Weich«rs sugar house peoplo two years ago throw the bridge bill off the track just as it had nearly passed. The tunnel was, it was given out, to be built at once, and would be much better than any bridge could be. The repeal of the tunnel bill will make a bridgo scheme eligible once more.
