remaining hope for a race between repre
sentative 70-footers of England and the
United States. The Valkyrie, which has

FURIOUS FLAMES.
The Montana Prairie Fire Still Sweep
ing Along.
Helena, Mont., June 28*—All efforts to
check the fire which started in Cascade
county, near San Coulas, two days ago,
have proved unavailing. Advices up to
last night show that it has covered an area
of over 100 square miles, and has destroyed
the best hay ground in the vicinity. The
loss will be very hoavy, owing to the fact
that the dry season had already reduced the
hay crop greatly. No such prairie tire has
been known in Montana in recent years. So
far, no lives are reported lost, though
several ranchmen have been burned out.
A CHICAGO BLOCK BURNED.

and six stories nigh.
The firms who occupied the burned build
ing and whose stock is almost totally de
stroyed, are: Elmer A. Sperry & Cos., gas
and electric fixtures; Harmless Spur Manu
facturing Company; J. D. Roberts, glass
beveler and silverer; T. E. Talbott, and E.
J. McGerry, shoes; P. C. Monroe, restaur
ant; Hugh White, shoe manufacturer;
H. J. Hayes, bottle moulder;
Standard Electric Company; S. M. Crain,
baking powder; W. J. Boland, machine
shop; Tarr Manufacturing Company; John
Barnett, paper bag manufacturer; J. G.
Walsh and one or two smaller firms. The
heaviest sufferers are the Tarr Manufactur
ing Company, whose loss is about $30,000.
Hugh White’s loss is $28,000, and John Bar
nett says his loss will not be less than $25,-
000.
INDIANA’S BEEF LAW.
A Circuit Court Judge Pronounces It
Unconstitutional.
Valparaiso, Ind, June 28. —James B.
Harvey, agent of Swift & Cos., of Chicago,
was arrested at Hammond last week, and
fined SSO by a local magistrate for selling in
that city dressed beef slaughtered in Chi
cago. He was committed to jail for failure
to pay the fir®. On Monday he was taken
before Hon. William Johnson, judge of the
Porter county circuit court, on a writ of
habeas corpus. Yesterday, Judge Johnson
delivered an elaborate opinion,
holding that the law under which Harvey
was fined to be unconstitutional and dis
charged the prisoner.
AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL law.
The last legislature of Indiana passed an
act prohibiting the sale of fresh meat in
any of the counties of the state unless .the
animals had been first inspected alive
within the county where the meat was
to be offered for sale. This is the first case
under the new law. Judge Johnson holds
that the Indiana statute is akin
to exercise of power by individual
states over interstate commerce which ren
dered the articles of confederation a rope
of sand, and which led to the adoption of
the present national constitution. The
judge adds that whatever may be the
nature and reach of the police power of the
state, it cannot be exercised over a subject
confined exclusively to congress by the
federal constitution.
SUICIDE AT CHARLESTON.
The Dead Man a German and a Love
Affair the Cause.
Charleston, S. C., June 28.—William
H. Schroder, a well-to-do German, 28 years
of age, was found dead in his bed in this
city this morning. He had taken morphine
with suicidal intent. He had his valise
packed last night with the intention of go
ing to Columbia this morning. Unrequited
love is said to have been the moving cause
of the suicide. At the sid9 of the bed was
found a letter to his family written on the
buck of a letter written to him by his
brother, C. L. D. Baum of Columbia. It is
in the nature of an explanation and a will.
The following are some extracts.
I have tried hard for the last month to try
become some body, I find that I can’t. Tell
Louisa she has had her revenge upon me. lam
sorry I ever caused her to care for me. It has
helped to make me do this. She is a good girl,
and I’m sorry that I have been the cause of
worrying her. I hope she will live a happy life
hereafter when I am gone.
Schroder was respectably connected here
and was well to do.
MINERS ON A STRIKE.
Gallitzen, Pa., the Scene of the Trouble
at Present.
Altoona, Pa., June 28.—The mountain
miners and cokers are on a strike from
Gallitzen westward, and trouble is feared
in tho Clearfield region, where the Berwlnd
White Coal Mining Company has extensive
operations. The company is unwilling to
pay its men for “dead work,” such as cut
ting air courses, and there is also trouble as
to the method of paying check weighmen.
The miners threaten to strike. There is
also a movement among those miners who
earn 45 cents a gross ton mined to strike for
50 cents, which is received in other parts of
the* region.

An Indiana Mother Gives Birth to the
Freak.
Indianapolis, June 28.—The Journal's
Kokomo correspondent reports that last
Tuesday, two miles south of here, Mrs.
Henry Jones had born to her twin girls in
separably connected at the hips and lower
abdomen. No vital organs are connected
except the spinal column, which is contin
uously from one end to the other. Each
breathes and pulsates quite independently
of each other, and both are p -rfectly
formed and have free use of their limbe.
The infants are apparently as hearty as any
children of their age. §
PETROLEUM FUTURES.
The Second Day’s Trading No More
Satisfactory Than the First.
New York, June 28. — The second day’s
experience of dealing in petroleum futures
on the consolidated exchange was no more
satisfactory than upon its introduction yes
terday. It is said tljat the bona fide
holders of certificates, and holders
having the bulk of the legitimate outside
orders are opposed to the plan, and the
members of the exchange cannot under
stand how scalpers and small traders are
going to conduct the market in the face of
the indisposition of larger interests.
Chicago’s Population.
Chicago, 111., June 28.—According to

CIVIL SERVICE PLACES.
THE PUBLICATION OF THE LISTS
OF BLIGIBLES.
Why the Commissioners Decided to
Adopt This Course—Difficulty in the
Way of Publication—Bulletins Will
Probably Be Resorted to—A New
Method of Notification Announced.
Washington, June 2S.—Some weeks ago
the civil service commission decided to here
after make public the lists of eligibles for
appointment to the several branches of the
civil service. The commissioners decided
to adopt this coarse in the belief and hope
that it would do away with many of the
abuses which prevailed when the lists were
kept secret, beside giving all persons who
took the examinations an opportunity to
know their relative position on the eligible
lists. Just how to make these lists public
has been the perplexing problem.
TO BE BULLETINED.
In the case of local examinations for
places in the customs and postal service, it
has been finally decided to post the percent
age obtained by each applicant in bulletin
shape in seme conspicuous piaoe where the
applicants and all others interested can
have opportunity of copying the percent
ages. The same course will be pursued
with regard to the certification of
eligibles for these offices made to the ap
pointing power. This method of making
local eligible lists public, however, can
hardly be applied to lists of eligibles in the
possession of the commission at its head
quarters in this city for the reason that
there are such' a great number of these
lists.
A NEW METHOD.
In view of this circumstance tho commis
sion has been compelled to adopt anew
method, and will hereafter notify each
candidate for an appointment, of the gen
eral statement of his percentage and stand
ing by mail. The civil service rules pro
vide that chiefs of divisions who are ex
empt from the operations of the
civil service law be allowed to
take non-competitive examinations
for a position lower than that which they
now occupy. This is done in order that
persons who serve in these excepted places
will not be compelled to abandon the ser
vice when their resignations are requested
on changes of administration, but can avail
themselves of the opportunity offered to
take a subordinate office.
ROOSEVELT’S VIEWB.
Commissioner Rooevelt expresses himself
as opposed to tho practice and is strongly
advocating a change in the rules by which
these persons, if they desire to remain in
the service when their resignations as chiefs
are demanded, shall be compelled to stand
competitive examination and be assigned
to the eligible list for certification and ap
pointment in the same manner as other ap
plicants.
STEAMERB COLLIDE.
Two or Three Hundred Passengers
Frighflpned but no One Hurt.
Newport, R. 1., June 28.—The steamer
Bay Queen of the Continental Line and the
steamer Eolus of the Wyekford Line col
lided this morning just above Gould Island,
five miles up Narragansott bay. The
Bay Queen was on her downward
trip and the Eolus was going up.
A thick fog prevailed, which prevented
either boat from seeing the other. Neither
had much headway on, aud yet tho collision
was a serious one. They came together
with a heavy crash and considerable excite
ment ensued. This was allayed somewhat
on the Queen by the presence of a band,
which by Its playing restored confidence.
CROWDED WITH PASSENGERS.
‘The Queen had 150 or 200 passengers on
board, including a number of Providence
physicians on their way here for a clam
(take. The Eolus had a number of members
of the medical association on board. So
far as known no one was injured on either
boat. The Queen was struck near
the forward gangwa* on the
port side and half of her
wheel was ripnod off. Her crank was ulso
broken. The Eolus had her side torn away
from the forward part of the house aft to
the paddle wheel. The tug Nat Suttou of
Providence, which was in the harbor,
heard the signals of the steamers and went
up the bay and took the boats In tow,
bringing them to this city. So far as kncwn
the hulls are all right.
BIX DEAD IN A HOUSE OF SHAME.
All Asphyxiated and Lying Half
Naked on the Floor.
Paterson, N. J., June 28.—Four women
and two men, all of disreputable character,
were discovered dead about 9 o’clock to
night in a house of ill fame at No. 47 Ryle
avenue. Death was caused by asphyxiation.
Three of the women were stretched at full
length on the floor and half naked. The
oldest, who was about 40 years of
age, was lying in a pool of blood
which came from an ugly wound on
the head, and covered her face and
body. Her right eye was almost torn from
the socket, and her face was horribly
swollen. The fourth woman, who was
about 17 years of age, was sitting on |a
rocking chair near the front window with
her arms folded. One of the men was
found in the rear of the house lying on a
cot with his mouth open and his tongue
protruding. His tongue was swollen to
almost four times its normal size.
THE KEEPER OF THE DIVE.
He was the keeper of tho dive, named
Goodfreid, about 80 years old. His place
has been a harbor for lewd women for
more than a year. The other man was
found in a sitting position, with his head
resting on a bed on which Godfreid was
lying. Near him was a gas stove, which
had evidently done the fatal work. The
dead persons were last seen about 10 o’clock
Wednesday night going into the dive, and
it is believed tnat they have been dead
since Thursday morning. The coroner and
police are investigating the case.

JOHNTOWN’S DEAD.
The Cambria Iron Company Time
Keepers Say 10,000 Perished.
Johnstown, Pa.. June 28.—The time
keepers in tho Cambria offices estimate that
from 400 to 500 of their workmen in the
Gautier aud Cambria Iron works were lost.
Counting the women and children depend
ent upon them they put their loss of people
at 2,000. They estimate the entire loss of
life at 10,000. Mr. Hawes, a tiro brick man
ufacturer, thinks this guess is about
right. He believes that at least 500
strangers were in town at the time
of the flood. About 200 deposit books of
the Johnstown savings banks are reported
lost by depositors or their heirs. There
were $774,000 on deposit, and much of this
is the property of people having no heirs.
The Fourteenth regiment was paid this
afternoon, and, with the exception of three
companies, will loave to-morrow. They
have about 500 men, and the pay roll will
amount to $20,000.

The rituation In Johnstown is growing
brighter every day. The spirits of the
people are more buoyant, and they are
beginning to feel like returning to work.
Eighty thousand dollars in cash arrived
to-day to pay the men in the various
departments. It was distributed among
the contractors and heads of departments
to pay the men under them. Thb work of
registering tho Hood sufferers for the pur
pose of distributing local funds, was fin

CLAN-NA-GABL MEN ON THE BACK
The Grand Jury Expects to Finish the
Cronin Case to-Day.
Chicago, 111., June 28.—The grand jury
resumed its work on the Cronin case at 10
o’clock this morning and before they went
into session they gave it out that they
would finish the case to-morrow, unless new
evidence is discovered in the meantime to
prolong the session, the fiuai findings of the
jury will be returned into court to-morrow
afternoon. The lino of investigation fol
lowed by the grand jury this forenoon wa
toward uncovering the outer circle of the
plot. Some thirty Clan-na-Gael men were
summoned for to-day’s session and the ques
tions put to them were all framed with a
view to finding out, if possible, who was
responsible for spreading the malicious re
ports that Dr. Cronin was a spy.
YOUNG CARLSON THREATENED.
Young Carlson, whose parents own the
cottage in which Dr. Cronin was murdered,
and who has been prominently brought
forward by the police in various attempts
to identify suspects, says that an attempt
was made yesterday afternoon to terrorize
him. He declares that two men came to
the cottage and distinctly threatened him
with death if he should Identify Martin
Burke, now under arrest at Winnipeg.
A MEMORIAL MEETING.
“A Cronin memorial meeting” was held
at the Central Music hall to-night. About
2,000 persons were present, of whom it is
estimated thatone-fifth wore of Irish extrac
tion. German-Americans and native
Americans appeared to constitute the bulk
of the remainder of the audience. Only in
one instance did anything happen to
mar the harmony of the meeting.
That was wiien the chairman used
rather strong language regarding Irish so
cieties, which evoked a protest, but the in
cident was soon forgotten. Neither Sena
tor Farwell, Gov. Fifer nor Mayor Creiger,
who had been announced to attend, were
present. W. P. Rend, an Irish-American
coal merchant, presided in tho absence of
the mayor. “In this country,” declared
Mr. Rend exsitedly, “there is no place for
secret oath-bound Irish organizations."
“Nevertheless they will exist,” sang out a
stentorian voice in the audience. The senti
ment was greeted with mingled cheers and
hisses.
“They will not exist,” shouted Mr. Rend,
and he proceeded to assert that tho Irish
people would “demand their suppression.”
Later Mr. Rend exclaimed: "I say the
actions of the men who control these organ
izations have brought disgrace upon the
Irish cause.” Again the applause was
mixed with hisses. Other speakers were
Hon. Richard Preudergast, judge of the
county court; Robert Lind Blom, a
member of the board of trade;
W. H. Deynforth and Louis Net
tlehorst, president and vice president of
the Personal Rights League; Congressman
Lawler and Adams; Charles G. Dixon, so
cialist labor, member of the state legisla
ture, and E. A. Stevens president of the
secular union.
Their addresses were similar to the bur
den of the resolutions which were adopted
by the meeting denouncing the murder of
Dr. Cronin and demanding that justice be
meted out to all who were guilty.

HUNDREDS AT THE GRAVE WITH
ACHING HEARTS.
All Business Suspended During the
Sad Ceremonies—The Face as Life-
Like as Though Only In the Nap of a
Peaceful Noontide—Tho Ex President
Bowed Down With His Great
Grief.
Frkkmont, 0., June 28.—Tho body of
Mrs. Hayes was embalmed after death.
This morning at 10 o’clock it was arrayed
for the grave, and placed in a casket which

heavy black broadcloth, with massive ox
idized silver extension handies, full length.
The plate bears the simple inscrip
tion: “Lucy Webb Hayes, June 25, 1889.”
The body was arrayed in a dress of ivory
cream satin with white passomentarie and
lace trimming. The dress was made for
Mrs. Hayes while she was in tho white
house, and was worn by her when she sat
for her oil portrait, %-lengtb, which now
hangs in the library at Spiegal Grove.
LOOKED LIKE ONE ASLEEP.
The appearance is most life like. Her ill
ness was so short and her doatb so sudden
that there was but little emaciation. Tho
face is pale, but there is a trace of rose
color in the cheeks. The closed eyes are
not sunken, and there is a smile on her
lips. In the clasped hands is a boquet of
roses, while others are inside the
casket. When the sad task was com
pleted the members of the family came to
look upon the loved and lost. Last came
Gen. Hayes himself, who, in a voice trem
bling with grief, begged to be left alone
with his dead. When lie came out and rev
erently closed tho door, his face was pale
and calm, though there were traces of tears.
BUSINESS SUSPENDED.

business houses and manufacturing estab
lisnments closed their doors.

band, took up the line of march for Spiegel
grove. Vehicles of oountry visitors and
carriages of townspeople dropped in line
after them, and the long procession moved
out on Birchard avenue, the sidewalks on
both sides being filled with people on their
way to attend the obsequies. The business
section of Fremont in half an hour was ab
solutely deserted.
THE SERVICES.
The services were opened with the read
ing of the Twenty-third Psalm by Mrs.
Hayes’ pastor, Rev. J. M. Mills, of the
Methodist Episcopal churoh. This was fol
lowed by the hymn,
“My Jesus, as thou wilt, O may thy will be
mine.
Into thy hands of love I would my all resign,”
which was read by Rev. C. E. Barnes,
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
The singing was by a quarteete choir led
by Prof. Arthur of Cleveland, who was
leader of the rogimental band of the
Twenty-third Ohio regiment, of which Gen.
Haves was colonel. Prayer was then offered
by Rev. Dr. Bashford, now president of the
Ohio Wesleyan university at Delaware, O.
A SECOND HYMN.
A second hymn followed, being read by
Rev. N. Shupp, of the Evaugelical church,
When peace like a river attendeth my way;
When sorrows like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say.
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Rev. L. D. McCable, LL. D., who per
formed the marriage ceremony for Mr.
Hayes and wife, than delivered a brief
funeral address. It was the desire of the
family that there should be no set ceremony.
“GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.”
Rev. J. I. Swandor, of the Reform church,
then read the hymn beginning:

CRISPI ON THE SITUATION.
Cardinal Lavlgerle Characterized as a
Political Agent.
Rome, June 28.—1n a speech in the Sen

regretted the conflict botweou Germany and
Switzerland, but they were compelled to

present political refugees in Switzerland,
from those of the refugees of former years.
The premier declared that Cardinal Lavt
gerio was a political agent trying to sup
press Italian influence m the east. It wns
deplorable that Italians should bo lured
into giving him money destined to
injure Italy. Referring to the fail
ure of his endeavors to reconcile
the Vatican, Higuor Crispi said that the Vat

temporal powur through the intervention
of a foreign power and aEnropoan conflict.
It would therefore be dangerous and unpa
triotic to subsidize missionary schools. That
was the plan of Italy’s enemies.

The Attempt to Prove That Capt.
Dawson Was Not Shot in the Back
a Failure—A Mistrial the Most That
the Prisoner's friends Now Dara
Hope for.
Charleston, S. C., June 28.— The de
fendant’s counsel occupied the entire day in
court to-day arguing the case for McDow.
Mr. Cohen spoke from 10 to 1:30 o’clock,
ei-Judge Magrath from 2:30 to 4:3oo’clock.
The line of argument was for a verdict of
self-defense. Great strew was laid upon
, the fact that McDow had his pistol in his
pocket and that tje did not take it from his
desk as lie told the reporters on the night of
the homicide. It was argued that Capt.
Dawson had attacked him. and, be
ing a larger man, he was justified in defend
ing himself with his piste 1.
SHOT IN TUB BACK.
I*o do awav with the damaging statement
that Capt. Dawson was shot in the back,
sticHs was laid on tiro difference of opinion
betwoen medical men as to the power of the
tissues in the human body to deflect a
bullet. The state claims that Capt. Dawson
was shot in the back while about to leave
McDow’s office, and depends on the autopsy
and the position of the wound to prove it.
TJio defense depend on the statement of Dr.
Porrost, who did not see the body, that the
shot may have been fired at Capt. Dawson’s
(tide, and upon McDow’s statement that be
drew the pistol ami flred while Capt. Daw
son was in the act of striking him, a posf
tion which two eminent surge -in, Drs.
Michel and Kinloch, both of whom saw
tbo body, agree in saying was impossible.
BITTER AND IMPRESSIVE.
Mr. Cohen’s argument was very Impres
sive and bitten, and at one time (luring its
dolivery, when he alluded to the fact that
McDow was in his home when attacked,
there were symptoms of applause iu tha
court room. During his argument Judge
Magrath mentioned the fact that his col
league, Mr. Cohen, had been retained for
the defense by McDow. Mr. Cohen did not
attempt to defend McDpw’s liaison with the
Swiss maid. Judgo Magrath, on the other
hand, claimed that the woman had se
duced the man and held au influence over
him.
RIDICULOUS RATHER THAN PATHETIC).
Mr. Cohen closed with a thrilling perora
tion asserting that the prisoner had already
suffered punishment enough, that he was a
changed man, anil basooc.iing them to let
him roturn to his devoted wife, “to til
baptized in the tears of their little girl luto
a nobler and better life.”
Both speakers evid uitly mlide a good Im
pression on the jury as well as tho aqdionce
till the court room, which was packed,
THE LAST RPEECH.
Tho argument will be closed to-morrow
bv Julian Michell, one of the most powerful
pleaders at the Par, in behalf of the state.
The jury has been locked up since Thurs
day afternoon. Wince McDow’s statement
has been made public, his friends are not sq
confident of his noquittal. The details of
his burying tho body had been disboliev 4
by many, and their narration created con
siderable sensation. Au attempt to predict
the verdict of the jury must be mere guess
work. As stated before, there are seven
colored men on the panol.very tew of whom
are well known. The drift of opinion to
night is murder or manslaughter on ona
side, and manslaughter or mistrial on tha
other.

Their Dividend*.
New York, June 24 At a meeting of
trustees of the American Cotton Weed Oil
Trust to-day it was decided to defer consid

stallments, The tirst dividend was paid,
but nothing lias since been heard of .the
other three. Outside certificate holders

action of the trustees to-day as it bad been
positively stated that the trustees were in
favor of paying a dividend, but were di
vided as to whether to declare 4 or 5 per
cent.
QUITMAN'S MELON BUYERS.

Rosenthal’s Trail. *
Quitman, Oa., June 28.—William Weil
age, the melon buyer from Louisville who
wus reported in the Morning News to-day
as in trouble here, shows up all right to-day.
He received money from Louisville and
straightened up the matter. He lays the
whole blame on the shabby way in which
ho was treated by bis house, and the gen
eral opinion here seems to bo that this was
the sole caaso of his trouble.
Those who have lost money through tha
German Rosenthal are in hopes of having
that worthy back here in a day or two. A
telegram was received here this morning
from Fort Gaines asking if he was wpnted,
but before it could be answered he bad
moved on to Eufaula. Officers are'after
him, and he may be called to account for
his rascality at au early date.

from the marshal of this place he was ar
rested in Eufaula, and the sheriff of Quite
man has been notified to go after uinj.
Inquiries have come in to-day from Lees
