CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-As q climax to
the scene presented at McvlcKer's

tacus, In the 'Gladiator," and only
succeeded in finishing tie part after
great difficulty, and then most unsat-
isfa:torily, the management an
nounce this morning the engage
ment of Mr.. Mccullough has closed.
Mr.. McCullough's managers state
that the real trouble is the physical
breakdown of the great tragedlan.
Any . Their assumption or statement
is unjust and untrue. The intims-
ton that physical excuses have
caused the present outcome Is also
declared by them to be untrue. They
contend that his physical condition
has been bad for the past
two years. He started in last
season in almost the same con-
dition and his acting appeared TO
serve as q tonic and he improved
steadily as the season advanced. He
played the part of Virginius all last
week but in an cratic manner. Que
of his performances was highly
finished and his managers were en-
couraged to feel he would overcome
his display of weakness and incerti-
tude on other occasions. A change
of bill was necessary and "Cfladia-
tor" was chosen. He studied hard
and rehearsed his part faithfully, but
the result was such as to make it All
solutely necessary that he should be
withdrawn. This decision was
reached without his knowledge and
the melancholy feature was that he
was rehearsing the part again assid-
uous,y this mourning. They believe
that with rest and quiet he may
again regain his former vigor. III
his engagements have been cancelled.
The members of his present COM
pany who have been with him six
years, join other organizations.
Members of the company cOnversed
with expressed very similar views to

BALTIMORE, May 50.-A terrible accident
occurred at Hooper's Building, No. 81 South
Gay street, this afternoon. Several per-
sons are known to have been crushed to
death. The, weight of cotton stored in the
building caused its collapse. When the
front of the building fell in three or four
perscns We're in tine counting-roon, and
four in. the shipping office. There were
at least fifteen or twenty in the front of
the store-house. The firemen and police
are busily engaged in removing the debris,
in order to get the people unt The crowd
around the building and vicinity is 50
great that 1t Is impossible to get particulars
at present. The body of Mortimer II. Lin
thicum, cashier of the house, has been
found, packed in between several barrels.
Up to O'Clock this evening only the bodies
of Linthicum and a colored boy named D.

occurred is not know, and all are
down from the front to within about forty
feet of the rear, which opens on Frederick
tsreet. The counting room is in the rear
of the first floor, and the most persons
were there when the break occurred. One
half the upper front was thrown down,

outward that it is liable to fall at amy

twenty-five years ago, and long used as

supposed to be in the wreck, dead. A

Women on the Pension Rolls.

WASHINGTON, May 50.-The passage of
the bill granting Mrs. DeLong, widow of
the Commander of the Jeannette expedi-
tion, a pension of $50 per month, suggests
some inquiries regarding the number of
parsons receiving large pensions or
pensions by. special act of Congress.
There are perhaps a hundred women in
the country who receive from thirty to
four hundred dollars per month pen.
sion.. OF course only few receive pen
sions above the sum given Mrs. DeLopg
In this bill, of so per month. Thirty
widows of General officers have been
granted pensions at SO per month, by
special Acts of Congress since 1851, and
forty three others at $50 per month. There
is only one pensioner under the army or
the navy who ranks higher than these, and
this single case is the widow of Admiral
Farragut, who was. in 1872, pensioned
at the rate ,of $1,000 per annum.
-Four women have been pension at the rate
of 5000 each per year. They were the
widows of President Lincoln, Polk, Tyler
and Garfield. The precedent for pensioning
the widows of Presidents was set when
Mrs. Lincoln was given in 1871 pension at
the rate of s., 900 per annum. 1t was in
creased in 18Sa to &. 900. In 1881 the widows
of Presidents Polk and Tyler were pension.
cd at the rate OF Sc, ,0J0 per year, and In the
last Congress an act was passed granting
Mrs. Garfield a like pension.

After the close of the war we had an
era of Christian statesmanship. The
Republican leaders went into the busi-
hess Of sanctification and emulated the
'umhleness OF, Uriah Heep. al
There was the Reverend Viee-Presi-
dent, Henry Wilson, the moral shoe
maker, unctuous with holiness. whose

There was Vice President Prot
8 ;huyler Colsax, with an ever-present
beatiiic smile which seemed to lift it's
possessor above all worldly desires and
follies, and impaired to his counte-
nance the appearance Of perpetual
paternoster.
There were the devout Dawes, the
pious Boutwell,, the upright Kelley,
| with Hoar, Sherman, Bingham, Pome-
roy and others, all duly recorded on
the calendar of political saints.
Unfortunately, Credit Mobilier got q
corner on Christian craftsmanship, and
political holiness, in the language OF
the street, was wiped out.
We are now in an era of speculative

John G. Emo Captured.

QUEBEC, May 31.-John c. Emo, the mis-
sing New York banker, was arrested this
morning ON board the steamship Vancouver
just as the vessel was leaving port for Liver
pool. Emo, with companion dressed as a
priest, took passage at Montreal. They
came down to the ship Thursday, most
unusual thing. Both had plenty of money.
The luxurious habits of the reverend gem
tleman first called attention to the pair.
They went about the city yesterday and
fell under the notice of detectives, who, OBJ
tanning description of Emo, found it to
tally with the appearance of one of the
strangers. The clerical gentleman was not
found on the Vancouver nor on the Sardi-
uian, which was searched before she sailed
this morning. 1t is thought he returned to
New York. Emo is at present in charge of
detectives at the Central Station.

til 1875 Tilden aud Hendricks were
elected by d conceded popular majority

al majority of twenty-five. Through an
infamous conspiracy of Republican
leaders, sustained by the Grant Admin

Oregon were fraudulently given to the
Republican candidate Hayes, who thus
secured a nominal majority of one, and
