Progress of the Jeanette Inquiry Fire.
man Bartlett's Testimony.
WASHINGTON, April Z. 7.-Fireman Bart
lett, of the Jeanette, resumed his testi-
mony before the committee this morn
ing. he was under arrest for lnsubordi-
nation when he went over to the board of
inquiry, and this prevented his giving
free answers. He did not suppress any
facts before the court Of inquiry, but the
questions submitted by Collins and ruled
out would have thrown light on the SUBJ
ject. He said to certain extent he had
been afraid of persecution by the Navy
Department and feared the facts in re
gard. to his arrest would be brought
about. He knew facts rejecting on the
honor Of Melville and Danenhower, but
knew nothing rejecting on their human
ity. The facts affecting their honor did
not in his Judgment have any bearing
on the result of the expedition, they
consisting in setting bad example to
the men and intoxication. The witness
himself had drank with Melville;
he was also aware of facts rejecting on
the conduct of all the survivors Of the
expedition, himself included. He never
knew Collins to be under the influence
of liquor. He understood it was gen.
eral thing for the officers to make game
of Collins. He did not know of any
man on the Jeannette being subjected to
any outrage or indignity.

Regiment ! LETT this city, this morning,
and the Jail is now unprotected by the
militia. A detail of fifty extra police
under Lieut.. Langdon, in charge of q
Gatling gun, will assist the sheriff, and
the First Regiment of militia remains in
readiness for call. The riot scare shows
it's effect in the sale of seats at the auc-
tion for the Dramatic Festival Associa-
tion. A very small number of bidders
were present and only about one hun
-dred seats were sold during the hour the
sale continued this forenoon. The
premiums began at thirty dollars but fell
so that the average is notmore than five
dollars. Manager Miles says he finds
that people abroad are actually afraid to
come to Cincinnati for fear they will be
shot. He says no assurance of safety
seems sufficient to remove the fear of
DANGER.

Ends In a Desperate Fight and Murder
JUNCTION O1TY, KS, April 8.-Yester-
day noon, as Tim O'Connor and his
brother Mike were driving along the road
in dry creek, twelve miles from here,
they were warned by Ernest Alien and
others not to cross certain piece of land
belonging to the school district. As
they did not heed the warning, an at
tempt was made to stop them which did
not succeed and they passed on. When
returning later in the day
the O'Connors found wire fence across
the school district land to prevent their
passage, and five men, two named Allen,
and three named Breen, stationed there
with shot guns and revolvers. Mike
OConnor cut the wire, when Ernest Al
len shot and killed Tim O'Connor.
Mike then rushed at one Of the Breeus
with an axe and chopped his head, in
dicting mortal wounds. The parties
then closed in on Mike and broke shot
gun over his head, disabling him. All
the parties were arrested and jailed.
The affair grew out OF an old feud be-
tween the Breens and the O'Connors.

A Dog Of the Police Department.
From the Philadelphia Timef.l

"George Crop" a skye.terrier long
attached to the Twenty third district
station house, died yesterday of old age.
He was about l3 years old and was
brought from the Skye Islands by Ex-
Judge Briggs and was given to Ex-
Mayor Stokley and by him presented to
Ex.Lieut Isaac @. Crop. The dog has
been in the station house for about
eleven years. He would work lunch
route and follow the men to their homes
for his meals. He was always present
at rol-call. He would lay under the
desk and if an officer made an arrest any
where within two or three blocks
'tGeorge" knew it apparently by instinct
and began to bark. Capt. Robert G.
Howell, formerly lieutenant of that sta
tion house, said yesterday: s'When
George began to bark I at once got out
the book. If AN officer came in with
q citizen, not under arrest, he would not
bark. He knew the fire signal as well
as the men. During the Centennial
Exhibition he was lost and went at once
to the Sixteenth district station house
and was returned to- the Twenty third
district in the van. He was often stolen,
but he always came back. Every child
in the district knew him and shouted:
sThere goes little George Crop In a
thunderstorm he became terrified. He
was opposed to fire crackers and knew
whenever he heard the words used. The
men in the district regret his death very
much and will ask permission to have
him stuffed and moupted in a: glass case
at the station house.. GJ :tIi 3t}&.f iE$5 -
