ALL NIGHT ON THE LAKE.
The nisbaps OF Three Chicago Excur'
sion Boats.

A Chicago telegram says: Yester-
day was the opening-day Of the
" Worlds Pastime Exposition at
Cheltenham Beach, and it terminated
rather unpleasantly for those who re-
turned to the city by boat. Owing to
q series of mishaps two Of the steamers
did not reach their docks at State-street
bridge until nearly daylight this morn
ing, while third drifted helplessly
about in the lake all night, and
landed her 500 worn and weary pas
sengers long after sunrise. The mis-
haps were due to the fact that the
management Of Cheltenham Beach has
not made suitable arrangements Tor
deep.draught steamers to land tneir
passengers. Boats frequently grounded
at the pier last year, and suffered like
disaster yesterday. After the hre-
works last evening about 900 persons
boarded the Albert j. Wright, the ia,
zelle, and the City of St. Joseph At IL
O'Clock to come up to the city. Inc
Wright stuck in the narrow channel

the legislative appropriation bill, and
procured the reinsertion Of the names
by the Senate committee.
Mr. Cannon admitted that he had re-
quested the Senate committee to insert
in the bill the names OF two pages who
had from long experience become al
most indispensable. He knew his PRIV.
leges and rights ~ member, and had
nothing to apologize for. Neither oil
the employees had been employed on
his solicitation, When the legislative
bill came back to the House he had no
doubt that II would accept the amend
mept he had suggested to the Senate
committee.
Mr.. Townsend said that the names
Of the employees had been stricken out
Of the bill and q point Of order made
by one member contrary, as he be-
lieyed, to the wish Of the vast majority
Of the members Of the House. Alex

requested him (TownshendD to cause

the payroll Of the House as long as he
(Townshend) remained in Congress, and
that when Chancey's name and that OF
Bacon, a gallant Illinois soldier, had
been stricken out on point OF order,
be had determined to cause them to
be restored if it were in his power.
Mr.. Gibson resented the idea Of the
interference by the Senate in matter
Of this kind. lie had no i'll will against
these employees, and if allowed he
would tomorrow introduce resolution
providing that their names be placed OF
the roll Of House employees.
After concluding the consideration o
all but ten pages of the bill the commit
tee rose and the House, at 5 O'Clock
adjourned.

by telegraph 10 the Dlspach'I
CHICAGO, July 5.--Fire was dis
covered in the rear basement OF the
restaurant OF Burcky & Milan, lO2 and
lU4 south Clarke street, by the watch
men of Kohl & Middleton's dime mu-
scum about 4 o'clock this morning, and
all alarm was Immediately turned IN.
The FIRE rapidly communicated with the
elevator, and by means Of it spread to
all the floors Of the buildings in an In
credibly short time. The smoke and
flames rushed from the rear to the
front, and were pouring out Of all the
windows by the time the department
arrived on the ground. The second,
third, fourth, and fifth floors of the
buildings are occupied by the Benton
Hotel, which was fitted up as cheap
clearinghouse. The upper floors were
formerly used as stOre.rooms, and were
converted into hotel apartments by
frame partitions, making a veritable
trap, in which over thirty-five people
were sleeping. A young man named
Charles Speech, of the Evangeline Com
pany, rushed upstairs and aroused as
many as he could by shouting and
pounding on the doors. lie was very
soon driven out of the hotel by the
smoke and flames. His efforts were
rewarded by seeing ten or fifteen per-
sons leaving the house. One man, cut
off from the stairway, forced the sky
light and came out on the roof. An
other tried the front fire.escspe from the
fourth floor, but was driven to the roof.
| lie was slightly burned. Another man
rushed from the rear tire-escape and
came down through another building,
1t was at first thought that from ter
to fifteen persons had burned tC
death, but subsequent search by the
fremen revealed only two dead
bodies. They were both men of mid
die age, who had been sleeping II
hunks. They were both found on the
floor in the middle of a room on thu
fifth floor, and one was burned beyond
recognition. Neither one had beer
identified this morning. In fighting th'
flames four firemen were badly hurt
John T. Omalley, of the hook and lad
der company, was severely cut IN tn
shoulder by plate glass. The origin o
the fire is mystery, as all fire in tn
ranges was out. 1t was probably a.
,ributable to the Fourth-of-July celt
bration. The loss to the restaurar
owner is about $4,000; fully insured
The loss on the hotel and building
about slO, 900; partly insured.

A Pittsburgh special says: Mrs.
George NJ. Pullman, wife Of the palace
car inventor, her four children, twelve
servants, five horses, family carriage,
and dog-cart took up the room IN
two large Pullman cars on the
Fort Wayne road this afternoon. The
Pullman family is en- route to
Long Branch for the summer. The
car for the horses and carriages has six
stalls and room for three carriages, be-
sides the berths, lockers, and sitting
rooms of the grooms and hostlers. The
stalls are models of convenience and
square comfort. Separate compartments
are also arranged for the feed, hay,
lamps, and other articles required for
the horses and carriages.
The private car in which Mrs. Pull
man travels is an imitation Of mo-
dern dwelling. Divsns Of more than
Turkish luxuriousness occupy the cor.
ners and sides Of the main room in the
centre of the car, while reclining chairs,
ottomans, and easy chairs are scattered
around. A magnificent cabinet organ
is one OF the handsomest ornaments O
this drawing-room. The dining-roou
and sleeping and kitchen apartment
are fitted UP on the same magnifcen
scale.

NEAT DETECTIVE WORK.
The chief OF Gang Of Counierfeiters
Arrested I'm Canada.


An Ottawa special says: One Of the
neatest and most successful pieces Of
detective work done for years was per.
formed Friday by Detective Daniel
O'LeaIy, inspector of the Dominion po-
lice. On Friday night he went to Otter
vile, and getting information there re-
gardipg counterfeiters persuaded one Of
The gang to accompany him to Brighton
on the representation that there were
certain persons there who wished
10 engage in the business. Adj
ditional particulars were obtained
from this man to the effect that the
bogus money was made by John Ro-
GERS. who had left 0tteryille for an
other part of the country. The detec-
tive traced Rogers to 0tterville and
visited him, being introduced to the al
legged couuterieiter as q Dir. johnson.
Rogers was given to understand that
Mr.. johnson wished to engage in the
business of making bogus money. Ro-
gers told the detective that he had the
Necessary plates for making siXty-dollar
Quebec Bank bills, twenty-dollar
United States bills, and ten-dollar bills
of the Merchants Bank of Canada. Ro-
GERS also said that he had been accom-
panied by William Duncan, Thomas
Brown, and Captain Clendenning to
Rochester, where they had gone on
schooner about month ago,
and procpred paper, ink, and brushes
to make the bogus bills; that they had
cruised around the lake for some time,
end passed between 5000 and $1,000
in bogus bills. The paper procured IN
Rochester, Rogers said, was equal to
any bank-no;e paper that could be got.
lie also stated that he made the bogus
bills by photOsraphing the original
ones, and that he had the process
down so fine " that he could produce
a bill which it was almost impossible
to detect, having worked at the BUSH
ness in Austria. lie could also change
the numbers on bills so that it would

Brown and Duncan had the notes he
had made. lie intended to 60 to ~.
tawa, get a photographers gallery, and
start the same business there.
Mr.. johnson agreed with Mr.. Rogers
to 90 into partnership with him. The
latter promised to supply the detective
with bogus bills representing large
amount of money. Bis pocket-booh
was secured. 1t was found to contain
counterfeit $50 bills Of the National
Mohawk Valley Bank, Of Mohawk, n
Y. Duncan was arrested and made
full confession. He had a set of plates
for making ESQ bills Of the Lower
Canada Bank, set for s2C

that the increase Of expenditures for

named Wildman, residing in Unity
township, in this county, yesterday
murdered his wife and then tried to
commit suicide. He made several
eashes in bis throat, narrowly missing
the arteries, and, finding himself still

out of this fact. After the murder he
sent one of his small children to a
neighbor with message that his mo-
Their was dead, and that the murderer
could be found at the barn. Then hi
began butcheripg himself in the man
ner stated. At last accounts he was
