CHICAGO, July 7.-There are no less

THE CORONER,s VERDICT.
The South Fork Pilhlng CIub Responsible
for the JOhnstoWn Disaster.

JoHSsEowS, Pa, July ~ Coroner
Evans, Of Cambria county, has found
the members Of the South Fork Fishing
Club responsible for the loss Of life and
the destruction OF property occasioped
by the bursting Of the dam at Cone
maugh Lake, The last session Of the
OoroneTs court was held yesterday even
ing and one witness was examined, AT
the conclusion OF the testimony the Jury
deliberated upon the case for about half
an hour, and then found a verdict
against the members Of the club. The
following Is a verbatim copy as written
by the coroner:
We, theundersigned Jury, impanelled
70 investigate the cause ot the death OF
Ellen Hite, on the day OF May 81, after
hearing the testimony, find that Ellen
Hite came to her death from drowning,
and that the drowning was caused by
the breaking Of the South Fork dam,
We further find from the testimony and
what we saw on the ground, there was
not sufficient waste weir, nor was the
dam constructed sufficiently strong, nor
OF the proper material to Withstand the
overflow, and hence we find that the
owners OF said dam were culpable in not
making II secure as 1t should have been,
in view OF the fact that pop,
llatiop Of many thousands were In the
valley below, and we hold that the own
ers are responsible for the fearful loss OF
HE and property resulting from the
breaking Of the dam.

There are rumors that the rioters will be

Withstand any attack. The militia are
lying on their arms ready to move at a
