A Successful Kick.

Manager Mullaly, of the Grand
opera house, is first-class kicker,
when it comes to kicking for his pat
rons. He has been kicking ever since
he assumed management of the opera
house against the bald-headed injus-
tice of certain companies that strike
for rise in prices as soon as they
leave the east and north and reach
southern and western territory.
operate companies that play in the
eastern pleasure resorts during the
summer season for twenty-five cents
no sooner reach Texas than they
strike for rise above popular prices
and managers have had to yield or fail
to meet advertised attractions. Not
one of these "self raised" companies
that does not play to popular prices at
the east and they should be COM
PEELED to come to terms by Texas man
ayers, and they would be were all
managers of Mullaly's stamp. He has
just had sharp controversy with the
Clara Morris management, who in
sisted on raised prices, but
the manager here stood
out for his patrons interests
under q threat of cancelled engage
ments and has scored a victory. Clara
Morris plays to $3.50 in every theatre
in Texas save San Antonio. Here she
plays for the regular prices, and this
is solely owing to Manager Mullaly's
grit and firmness. At this price there
should not be single seat left unoc-
cupied at either performance. Clara
Morris has no superior on the Ameri-
can stage, and is almost the first
actress of her rank who has played to
popular prices in this city. An appre-
citation of this fact, taken into cOnnec-
ton with her great talent, should
crowd the opera house to its full ca
pacity. 1t would be a fitting endorse
ment of the attempt to secure first
class talent at popular prices, and
would be rebuke to those who raise
prices and play to two-third house.

THE Supreme Court of Nashville,
Tennessee, holds that it has no juris-
diction in the contested election case
of Bates and Evans, each claiming
election as congressional representa-
tive in the Third Tennessee district.
This leaves the matter just where
Gov. Taylor put it. He decided that
Evans was elected, having received a
majority of two hundred and eighty
eight votes, and issued him his certi-
ficate of election accordingly. This is
one of the seats which the democrats
relied on filling, but in which they
have not succeeded. Bates had the
Secretary of State in his favor and de-
pended upon amended returns to see
him through, but it did not avail
The Governor Of Tennessee is not ac-
cepting amended returns at this late
day. The evidence was not sufficient
to warrant Bates claim and he was
shut out.

THE Washington Star has done
good service for Ireland, and per-
formed an act for which it will re-
ceive the thanks of all lovers of liber-
ty and fair play on both sides the At
lantic in publishing the following:
Henry LIE Caron, the British spy,
who has been doing so much swearing
in the Parnell investigation, has a
war record in America which is spread
out on the records of the war depart
ment. Before his name is written,
Coward and mutineer.' He was a
member of the famous Company b.,
Fourteenth Pennsylvania cavalry,
which was organized as body guard
to General Thomas, and part of whom
mutined when ordered into the fight
at Murfrees boro. He was one of the
500 mutineers who were confined i'll
the penitentiary, Jail and work house
at Nashville.n
There is evidently mistake about
the photography of this name. 1t
should be spelled Carbon. Instead
of the French LIE Caron," it should
be the English 1.-THE Carbon"

THE Fort Worth Gazette summing

THE Fort Worth Gazette summing
up the situation of the libel law
amendment in the present Legislature
says:
"The outlook is favorable for the en-
actment of a civil libel law that will
hold the press responsible for dam
ages to character, but will not furnish
an avenue for legal speculation, nor
an instrument for the levy of black
mail upon the newspapers of the
tate"
The whole question, and it is not
answered in the Gazette article from
which the above is taken is, what dam
age to character? Will the proof of the
absolute correctness of the matter
stated, and the reasonable presump-
ton that there was no malice in the
publication be bar to damage or not
in the framework of the legislation
that the Gazette foresees? Ifanything
less than this is given the press of the
state, it will be totally inadequate.

HAMILTON'5 VISIT.
All Danger of Disease Lies Below I
Drift at the Bridge.

All Danger of Disease Lies Below the
Drift at the Bridge.
WASHINGTON, une10.-Surgeon General
Hamilton, of the marine hospital service,
who went to the scene of the Johnstown dis
aster in obedience to the orders of the Presi-
dent, returned from, his visit yesterday,
and Immediately reported the result of his
observations and inquiries His report was
to-day made public. 1t gives a description
of the city of Johnstown at the time the
flood occurred, and deals with the efforts to
relieve the wants of the sufferers. The
water supply of Johnstown is pure and
wholesome, and there is little
danger of au epidemic among
the inhabitants. DR.. Hamilton continues:
The danger point from a sanitary point of
view is the drift at the bridge, and this
danger is not to the inhabitants of Johns-
town, but to those people depending upon
the lower river for their water supply
This water, if boiled before drinking, win
not be unhealthy, but the thought of drink
ing water contaminated by the dead bodies
of human beings and animals is revolving.
The clearing of this drift, while attended
with greet difficulty, will be accomplished.
The published statements that animals are
allowed to float down the river from the
drift are positively untrue.
HORRORS OF THE PACK.
The drift pack cannot now be we'll burned
and if it could it would be only to the water
soaked portion, aud this would not release
the bodies. [ saw one portion of the body
of a woman taken from this drift at one of
the morgues, where all the upper part of
the body had been burned; the pelvis and
limbs having been in the water at the time of
the fire were not burned. AS it is the portion
in The water that by its decomposition is
likely to contaminats it, it is evident that
the burning of the drift would be of little
avail. Besides that, many of these bodies
are believed to be held down by masses of
iron, and therefore could not be reached by
firing the drift. There is no use, whatever,
in attempting to disinfect this drift, and
the only way to cure the evil is its re-
moval." In conclusion, the doctor says that
this report is confined to the portion covered
by Johnstown proper. No attempt has been
made to touch upon the general condition
of the outlying villages, which also suffered
from the calamity The charitable people
of this country ought not to cease their
contributions of money for some weeks to
come, and he reiterates finally that there
is no danger whatever of general epidemic.

every one favorably and especially
the Pittsburg relief committee, whose rep
resentatives went home well pleased to be
relieved OF the work of removing the debris
and restoring order, leaving to them the
accomplishment of one great object-relief
of the sufferers.
IMPEDED BY THE RAIN.
About o'clock this morning the down.
pour became so heavy that it seriously in
terfered with the work and the men were
called to some place Of ahelter, but as soon
as the rain became less heavy ali went to

CHICAGO, June 10-Nothing of an inter
esting character was developed at to-day's
session of the Cronin jury of inquest. Dur
ing the morning Michael Whalen, the sus-
pended detective, who was with Detective
Coughlin when they met Smith, the man
suspected of driving DR.. Cronin to his
death, but did not arrest him, and Thomas
OConnor, a tinsmith, were the only wit
nesses. Both are members of the Clan-na-
Gael, but rigid cross-questioning failed to
connect them with the doctors taking off
During the noon recess the jury held a
consultation with the coroner in his office.
The talk lasted an hour, and when it was
over it had been decided that all the wit
nesses summoned to testify whose evidence
would be but corroboration of what had
already been offered should be excused, the
jury begin in their own minds satisfied of
the truth of the principal allegation that
DR.. Cronin came to his death as
a result of conspiracy, and that sufficient
animus and motive existed to form a
conspiracy. Should witness DO on the
list, the testimony of whom would contra
dict anything thus far presented, it was
desired that such witnesses be Of course
heard, as well as those who would have any
thing new. This decision will doubtless

WHY BROTHER HARRISON IS so
SLOW IN FILLING THEM.

The Delay in the Case of the Internal
Revenue Collectorship Said to be
Due to the rendering of Resigna-
tion-Gen. Longstreet Still in Need of
a Place.
WASHINGTON. June 10.-The delay in
appointing Georgia's internal revenue col
lector is said to be due to the fact that Col
lector Crenshaw has resigned. to take effect
Sept. l. If his resignation is accepted, of
course an appointment viii be delayed to
that time; but il it is not Collector Cren-
shaw will have to be removed if he cannot
be induced to change the date of his resig-
nation. DR.. Arnold viii be appointed his
successor when the time comes.
The next important appointmentin in Geor-
gia will probably be the postmaster at At
lanta. Col Buck recommends Gen. Lewis
and thinks he will be appointed.
ATLANTA's SURVEYOR.
The term of the surveyor of the port of
Atlanta expires July 81 His successor will
probably be appointed then. Col. Buck
has made no recommendation. He will
next month. He viii go home at the end
of the week not to return again during the
summer. Col. Buck is heartily sick of
otfice-seeking, but he says there is no truth
in the published statement that he conten-
plates retiring to give place to Col. Locke,
who will then be made marshal of the
Southern district. Col. Locke will be made
chief of division of the Sixth auditors
office. Col. Buck had pleasant though
brief interview with the President to-day.
They understood each other.
GEN. LoNGsTREET'S NEED OF AN OFFICE.
The discovery of gold upon the farm of
Gen. Longstreet, in Georgia, does not seem
to have rendered it unnecessary for him to
have government Office. His friends are
still striving to procure him one where the
salary will be heavy and the duties will be
light. For obvious reasons Gen. Long
street would prefer an office in Washing
ton. His friends seem to have great diff

shows no disposition to resign hiss placs as
register of the treasury, although he has
been placed on the retired list of the army,
witl the rank of brigadier general. and
Secretary Window has said to Gen. Long
streets friends that be would not ask ''Old
Rosey" to resign.
JOHNSTON ALSO A sTICKER.
Joseph E. Johnston seems to have settled
down to another four years as commissioner
of the Pacific railroads. since Gen. Sherman
interceded for him so successfully Those
were the two Offices upon which Gen. Long
street has especially kept his eyes, Others,
like the commissionership of customs, have
been given to other applicants. Gen. Long
streets friends are getting desperate. They
have interested Gen. Malone ia their
search and he is getting influence for them.
He called the other day on Chairman Buck,
who is now generally recognized as the
Georgia adviser to the President, and asked
his assistance. II have always been willing
to assist Gen. Longstreet," said Col Buck,
magnanimously." Presently Gen. NJ ahone
will bring Senator Quay's influence to bear.
and then something will have to give way.

Along the Water Courses.

Along the Water Courses.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 10-Advices from
all parts of the state indicate great damage
from the rains of the past week, both to
growing crops and to property situated
along the water courses. The river here is
out of its banks and has done great damage
to fencing all along its course. Fields of
corn, wheat and oats have been entirely
washed out and others have been greatly
damaged along the Sangomon river.
In White and other counties the bottoms
are all covered with water and hundreds
cf acres of growing crops are submerged.
Many families have fed to the highlands
for safety.
Clay county has suffered greatly. Many
of the farm houses are partly under water.
Several miles are flooded, and a section of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad is
washed out.
A gentleman who returned yesterday
from the Ohio river reports that that
stream is very high. and is rising rapidly,
and that large amount of wreckage from
Johnstown is being brought down. He
counted several dead animals and saw
parts of houses that must have belonged to
the unfortunate city.

CHICAGO, June 10.-A dispatch from De-

church was dedicated. 1t was an unusual
dedication, for Father Kolosinski has been
excommunicated for disobedience and there
was no bishop present. He consecrated the
church himself, and will henceforth
be mis- own bishop. There was
terrific jam among the Poles,
who constituted his congregation. The
church is not quite finished. 1t will hold
5000 and there are fully that many at

and is built with money his adherents fairly
poured into his lap. A week ago the parish
people, who seem to fairly idolize Father
Kolosinski, presented him with fine coach
and span of dainty sorrels. A handsome
brick stable is now being built near the
church for his horses

UTICA, N. Y, June 10.--Word was re-
ceived here this morning that q terrific
wind storm passed through Port Leyden,
Lewis county, and the lower portion Of
jefferson county, about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, unroohng houses, overturn-
ing trees, fences and buildings and
doing much damage. The steeple
Of the Catholic church at Port Leyden

it dangerous. One house was picked up and
carried about 100 feet An old gentleman
and lady therein were injured. Most Of the
damage was done in a path about eighty
rods wide, though trees and fences were
overturned in wide territory. The wires
are all down.
The cyclone was caused by storms coming
from two directions and uniting north OF
this city. From the point of uLiting the
direction was northwest. Reports that
come every hour bring news of greater de-
struction of property in Lewis county and
in the sopShern part Of Jefferson county.
