THE ORONIN CASE.

Luke Dillon Again Before she Jury Edward BpellmRn's Testimony Re'
 garding ahe Clan-na-Gael-Marti tin
 Burke's Case Postponed.
 CHICAGO, June 21.-Luke Dillon was once more called to the stand this afternoon and questioned minutely the inner workings oi the Clan-na-Gael and those of its Chicago members whom he had found in his investi gations to have been hostile to Cronin. Mir Dillon also gave additional details regarding the charges against Alexander Sullivan ana the memorable trial which ensued. Harry Jordan, the bar tender, testified tt having frequently seen Burke and Patricl Cooney together, and said they on severa occasions visited his saloon in company. Edward Spellman of Peoria, the promi nent distillery mar and district officer of tn Clan -ns- Gael for Illinois and Wisconsin, was on the stand for half an hour and testified il regard to the extent of that organization ant offending members. He stated that tn, greatest penalty that could be inflicted upon any member under the rules o the organization was expulsion from the ranks and insisted that if Cronin had beer condemned to death under star-chambel proceedings of any camp 1t was contrary te the fundamental principals and practices of the Clan-na-Gae MT. Spellman pro fesssd high regard for Dr. Cronip, and as sured the jury that his (Spellman's) desire te ferret out the instigators of the tragedy wal shared by all leading Clan-na. Gael men iu the United States.
 The proceedings of to-day closed the in- vestigations of the grand jury in the Cronin case for the time being.
 The Oronin case, however, will be kept open to give the police an opportunity to pursue their investigations, and as witnesses are produced from time to time their testi mony will be received by the jury.
 WINNIPEG, Man., June 21.-This morning Martin Burke was brought before Judge Bain. MT. Howell, counsel, asked that the case be remanded for one week. He said he was collecting evidence and would be pre- pared to go ahead with one witness to nor TOW, but as counsel and additional witnesses would have to be brought from Chicago he thought remand would be necessary. Isaac Campbell, Burkes counsel, objected to SC long a remand, and Judge Bain decided that the case should go over until next Wedues day.
 WINNIPEG, Man, June 21.-Martinsen, ths expressman who was employed by one of ths "Williams" brothers to convey furniture te the cottage in Chicago where Cronin was mur dered, has positively identified Martin Burke the suspect, as the Williams who engaged him. He picked him out of 52 men drawr up in line.

CUT OF THE DEBRIS.

The Rebuilding of Johnstown-The
 Strikers-An Attempted Murder.
 JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 21.-The claim of the strikers that they were poorly fed is de- clared unsubstsntial. They were well fed except once or twice, when provisions were delayed. Each contractor has been ordered to reduce his force so as not to exceed 45O men, 80 the absence of the strikers will not embarrass the contractors.
 General Hastings has directed that fifty men commenced cleansing out cellars to-day preparatory to the erection of new houses.
 Joseph Trunzsr, while at work on the bridge gorge last evening, noticed three sus- picious looking fellows lettering around and several times ordered them of. Finally one of them lunged at him with knife, but missed. Trunzer felled the man with 8 bucket. At this juncture another of the gang jumped toward Trunzer and fired a pistol at him. the ball flying past Trunzer's head Seeing the man preparing to shoot Trunzer stopped and picked up the man he had knocked down. He held him in front of himself and started after the man with 8 revolver. He kept up the chase for g moment or two, but the man he was carrying becoming heavy he dropped him. Again the fellow fired and missed. The chase contln- ued clear down the Conemaugh to Cambria City, where the fellow ran into 8 house and into dark room, where Trunzer attacked him with hammer and dealt him two blows in the head, almost crushing the skull. The fellow was then arrested, together with two of his companions, and after hearing oom- mitted to jail at Ebensburg. This affair has been the most exciting of all that have taken place there. It was witnessed by a large crowd.
 The Cambria Iron company has offered to furnish all the sites that may be claimed, either in the Conemsugh valley near its mills or on the slope north of Cambria City, for the erection of the new Chicago houses that will begin to arrive to-day. The authorities at Moxham have also offered the same privi- leges.
 The Cambria company says not a cent will be charged for the first year and 8 very low ground rent thereafter. John Slagle, repre- senting the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, says five hundred of these houses have been contracted for, together with cook stove, furniture, bed clothing, etc, for each house.

No Lean Year I'm IllA

Although the year 1900 will be dlvisible by
four without n remainder, it will not be leap
year Twelve years must elapse before the
interesting event takes place, but it was lust
the same in 1900 and 1900, but not in 1000. for
that was leap year, and the 1000 will be a
leap year also. Why this should be is prob
lem. To explain in detail would be a tire
some task, but it 'ests on the principle that q
difference of eleven minutes per day exists
between actual time and calendar time.
Thus year is computed at 365H DAYS, three
years being 365 days long and the fourth
year 36G days. In fact the year is 1866
days, hours and ID minutes long, or
IL minutes short of 365I1 days The
leap year every four years is said
to have been an invention of julius
Cesar. To allow ior this difference of eleven
minutes per year, one leap year was dropped
every hundred years But this was found
not to be exact, and Pope Gregory XIII, in
1882, made an Improvement and decreed that
every fourth centlrial year should be leap
year. Thus, by emitting the leap year for
three centurial years and letting it remain as
usual on the fourth centuriSl year, a system
is obtained so close that it would take thou
sands of years to make up another days diff
ference in time. The calendar time is still
not exact mathenatically, but as no change
will be necessary for 1000 years, it will not
fall to the share Of the present generation to
the discrepancy. Raleigh Nows.
