Death of General George +. Reynolds In Plttsburg
Sad Story Of an UnluCky Life.

Pittsburg Pa, Feb. 18.-George E. Reynolds,
familiarly known as General" Reynolds, an old
gentleman whose tall form was seen almost daily
on Fifth avenue, near the corner of Grant, with
an armful Of advertising bills of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Land Company, was found
dead about six o'clock this morning at the Office
Mr.. w. e. TustOn the General Agent of the above
named Company, 1d Fifth avenue. The General
had seen better days, however, and had only been
engaged in this occupation for year or two. Pre-
Vious to his advent here he was engaged exten.
sively in the grain business in Cleveland and
elsewhere, and was quite wealthy, The last of
his worldly possessions, valuable farm in Jefter
son County, Ohio, is now in the hands of an as.
signee, He fsiled three years ago for over $780,
OOO but has since paid most Of his debts,
He was at one time a prominent Democratic
politician in Ohio, and on the occasion of the
visit of old Bill Allen to this city few years ago
General Reynolds accompanied him. At that
time Allen told the audience at the old battery on
Grant street. In introducing the General for a
speech, that he "had brought man with him
who could talk louder and make better speech
than he could" The General than made speech
which was pronounced one of the best of the
campaign. When General Reynolds arrived here
he still had some money left from the wreck of
his fortune. With this money he started Mr..
Charles Orvis in Smithfeld street saloon, but
the investment proved losing speculation, and
he lost all. He died from apoplexy. His relatives
live at Steubenville.

LOOOKS BAD.

The investigation of Daniel L. June, of
Fremont, a Director of the Penitentiary,
develops testimony very damaging to
that gentleman, unless fully disproven.
Perry Close testified that after ahe was
convicted and sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary, June visited him and offered to get
pardon; that he gave June $25 at two
different times for the. purpose of going
to Columbus, and that upon witness be-
ing conveyed to Columbus, he was given
private interview by the Sheriff with
Mr. June, who extorted $500 more from
him and returned soon after with a par
don. In subsequent interview with
Governor Young in the presence of June,
the latter was compelled to acknowledge
that he had received money from Close
for pardon, but that he knew the Govr
ernor had none ofit. This is Closes story.
What future investigation will bring out
is purely conjectural.

Over the tribulations of the Returning
Board continues unabated. Wells and
his friends having failed to get Substan-
tial succor either from their President, At
orney. General or AHKnde Joe, have turn
ed to Sherman as last resort, and given
him to understand pretty plainly that he
must help them. He is willing enough
to do it, but finds it uphill work. A prom
inent citizen of New Orleans, not politi-
clan, says the Administration has no one
but itself to thank for the proceedings
against Wells and Anderson; that if they
had gone into private life no one would
have cared enough about them to begin
an action against them; but when the AdN
ministration insisted on putting them in
responsible Offices the people Of Louisi-
ana were forced to proceed against them
in self,defense. The same authority says.
further, that there is nothing political in
the trials, except that the people of Loui-
siana are determined not to endure COM
mon felons in Office; that they are so de-
termined on that point that Wells, An
dersOn and the rest may count sure on a
steady opposition to their holding Office
Shermanis evidently annoyed at the pub
lication of the row in the Cabinet recent
ly over the policy ofthe Administration,
and is endeavoring to discredit it. In
conversation last night he asserted that
the Cabinet meetings were not correctly
reported; that on recent occasion a
newspaper reported a rupture, when there
had been an unusually peaceful session.
He appealed to Key, who was standing
by to support him, but Key gave an eya-
sive answer, and politely declined to
back up Sherman's yarn Wash. Cor,

THE COLD SNAP.

The month Of May so far has been
disagreeably cloudy, rainy and chilly,
and last week the elements concentra-
ted into very severe cold snap, with
degree of frost that threatened wide
destruction to fruit, vegetables and
grain. In the New England States
ice was formed half an inch thick, but
the grain Being later than elsewhere
suffered no material injury. Reports
from New York and Pennsylvania in
dictate considerable injury to fruits and
vegetables, but that grain is not in.
jured beyond recovery. In Ohio, In
diana and Michigan the early fruit
and vegetables are reported entirely
destroyed. Minnesota, Kansas and
Nebraska seem to have escaped serious
damage of any kind and the wheat
crop is unusually promising.
