DILLON LEAVES CHICAGO.

The Police Distrust Him, and Develop
ments in the Case Displease Him.
CHICAGO, July 1, 1SS9.-Luke Dillon left
the city last evening for his home in
Philadelphia. The NeaUS this morn
ing says - Mr.. Dillon has been
very much d%isgruntled of late over the
developments in the Cronin case especially
that part of it which showed so clearly
that Cronin's death was decreed by the
Clan-na-Gael. This was the last straw.
For some time the police have entirely
ignored Dillon, inc have had little faith
in his protestations hat he was assisting
in ferreting out the doctors murderers.
There are very many who firmly believe
that the chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Clan-na-Gael, came
to and remained in Chicago for no
other purpose thar to defend the
Clan-na-Gael and to do all in his power to
keep the real facts of the conspiracy from
coming out if they tended to show that
the society murdered Cronin.
OTTAWA, Ont, July l, 1885,. Dep
uty Minister of Justice denies the report
that eXtradition proceedings in the case
of Burke would be complicated because
the latter is a British subject.
Alls the evidence the judge or magis-
trate presiding requires in Burke's, as in
any other case where eXtradition is re-
quested, is that which would justify him
in committing him for trial had the crime
been committed in Canada.

MYSTERIOUS FATAL BLOW
Hoboken's Pound Keeper Taken
Home by Two Strangers to Die.

Poundkeeper Thomas. of Hoboken,
went on an excursion yesterday and was
brought back to Hoboken with a severe
fracture at the base of the skull. He was
taken to his home and this afternoon, at
two o'clock, nearly eightesn hours after
the accident happened, DR.. Pitts was
called in.
He ordered Deome's immediate re-
moval to the hospital and telephoned to
police headquarters that the man cannot
possibly recover, The person VINO IN
1licted the injury is unknown, but the po-
lice are making inquiries.
AT present it is not known on what eX-
cursion he went. His wife says that he
was brought home by some men, and that
he never recovered consciousness. He left
word in the morning that he was going
on an excursion.
The matter is considered very Sus-
picious, and Chief Donovan has taken the
affair in hand in order to bring the may
be murderer or murderers to justice.

Joseph S apolongo'sDeath on the Rail Is
Hard to Explain.
Joseph f! Sapolongo, the Cuban book
keeper employed recently at Ribon &
March, machinists at First and Pro
vost streets, who was run over
and killed at the Warren
street crossing of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, was a married man whose wife
and two children live i'll Cuba. There
is no reason to believe that he
committed suicide, Notwithstanding
the report hat he was seen
to voluntarily dive head foremost in front
of the train which ran over him.
Mr.. Ribon, the senior member of the
firm, speaks in the highest terms of his
efficiency, honesty and good conduct.
He was of q most amiable disposition,
and a f~avorite with all the employees as
well as with the firm. -,
"He was not addicted to drink" said
Mr.. Ribon, ''for | have known
him to refuse even a glass
of champagne on numerous oc-
casions. | did not know he was mar
ried until afterhis death; but then / never
made any inquiries concerning the
matter"
His brother and sister, who live at Sea
bright, N. j., claimed the body and the
funeral will probably take place at Cal
vary Cemetery tomorrow.

IT is Going to be a Great Resort for
Footlight Favorites.
Deal Beach is certainly as well situated
as any place on the Jersey coast, between
EIberon and Deal Lake, which is nearly
two miles long, but the property seems to
be all in the hands of spectators who
want an immense price. There are only a
few cottages scattered among the fields.
The Hathaway House is the only hotel.
This opened only a few days ago, and has
among its present guests James NJ. Rider
and family, Mr.. Wilson, +. Zimmerman

and the Misses Herzog, Mr.. and Mrs. Viii
liam Boggs, Miss j. Wellner, and Mrs. K.

Since Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Knight
took their cottage at Loeb Arbor, which
is on the Asbury Park end of Deal Lake,
their cottage has been a rendezvous for
all the theatrical people located temper
arily in the vicinity. 4,
Nicholas Loritz, the rich manager and
actor, has made up his mind that there is
something about Deal that makes it prob
ably the future popular resort with the
~favorites of the footlights. Perhaps it is
that every day now, parties of them ran
sack the woods for flowers and wild

temptation the erection of a large hotel.

boat left Hoboken ~andstopped at 4onkers
bark. When they arrived at Yonkers on
their return trip to allow the passengers
to r~e-embark, the children eluded the
vigilance of the ticket takers and came on.
The girls gave their names as Mary Conk-
ling and Nellie O'Brien, both about ten

so frightened that he forgot his name and
said that he would never go out with girls
again if they got him into trouble. They
were taken away this morning by their
parents.

They Had Been Bought With Money Got
on False Pretences.
Conrad Hennemeyer, a Twenty-Five
year-old chap, who said that he resides at
No. 1860 Bergen avenue. was arrested in
New York yesterday on q charge of
having got $25 from Mrs. Elizabeth
Gibbons, of 100 West Forty-Seventh street,
upon false pretences. Mrs. Gibbons hus-
band is suing her for divorce, and she
employed a detective agency or East
Fourteenth street to secure cyl
him. Saturday, Hennemeyer, who
is employed by the agency, wrote
to the woman to meet him, to learn the
result of his enquiries and to come pro
vided with S25. She met him and paid
him the money. She learned afterward
that he was not authorized to collect the
money and that he had not handed it
over to his employers, and caused his ar
rest.
When arrested Hennemeyer admitted
that he had collected the So from Mrs.
Gibbons without authority and had re
tanned possession of the money to pay
him for services which he had rendered
and for which he had not
received any remuneration. He
said that he had been in the
employ of the agency for nearly three
months and had not received any pay dur
ing that time. On being employed he had
paid S. for a badge, which he had not re-
ceived. Justice Ford committed him for
examination and in default of bail he
was locked up. When Secretary Over
field, of the detective agency, APP
peared in court he had on
the trousers of the suit which
had been purchased by Hennemeyer with
the money obtained from Mrs. Gibbons.
He was told that he had no right to APP
propriate the trousers and was ordered to
turn them over to the property clerk
with the rest of the suit to await the out
come of the case.

"Come and see the cat"
This notice was posted on trees ana
fences throughout Greenville and Bay
onne yesterday, and below it was the an
nouncement that at three o'clock the
STANDARD Single Tax Club of this city
would hold an open air meeting in Salt
er's Woodbine Grove in Currie's woods.
What relations a cat could have to
single tax reform very few could make
out, and some went to the meeting eX-
pectfng to see a cat on exhibition, but
were disappointed. One of the gentle
men connected with the club explained
that the cat was the emblem of the move
ment, and that the phrase was originated
by Judge Mcguire, of San Francisco, In
a speech which he made in New York IN
spoke of the difficulty of seeing a cat in a
concealed picture of trees and shrubs,
and compared it with seeing the idea of
the single tax. To Seesthe cat in the con-
cealed picture it is necessary to have the
parts pointed out, and so it is with the
theories of the single tax. Ever since tins
speech, when the enthusiasts of this
movement want to indicate that another
has come to fully understand all that Is
involved he says that such a person mas
seen the cat.
IL Ulere was no cat on cAIlulUloH SOo
terday there was a good entertainment
furnished for the 400 people who gathered
under the shady boughs of the trees, and
for two hour listened attentlvely TO the
speakers, who explained the theories OF
Henry George.
There were recitations and singing by
John Molloy and Colin Campbell. Joseph
Dana Miller made a short address, and
then Chairman John w. Jakeway intro
duced Mr.. John De Morgan, the Irish
nationalist, Of New York, who spoke for
over an hour and drew q parallel between
evictions in Ireland and in this country.
Mr.. De Morgan has had quite a
chequered career. He was one of the
leaders of the Irish home rule movement
when it was organized. He was with
Michael Dayitt when, he started the Irish
National League, and he was also the
organizer of the Commons Protective
League of England. For the part he took
in the Land Leagne meetings he was
locked up in Jail a number OF times, and
was finally compelled to leave Ireland by
English persecution.
