CHICAGO, June l4.-Alexander Sullivan
was to-day restored to liberty by Judge
Tuley. The release was the result Of Sulli-
vans application for a writ OF habeas
corpus. Mr.. Sullivan walked out OF court
after having been less than three days In
custody. The judge held that the coroner's
Jury had been Influenced by outside senti-
ment.
There was wait OF three. quarters of an
hour before Judge Tuley reached the court
room. At 8 As p, m. he assembled the bench
with a written opinion, which 1t soon be-
came apparent had been made only after q
careful analysis Of the whole mass OF testi-
mony.
Judge Tuley said: II suppose there will
be no further steps taken beyond this evil
denoe before the coroner's jury"
Judge Longenecker replied: "That Is all.
There is no additional testimony"
because IL you had any the court would
feel compelled to hear 1t" said the court.
Judge Tuley then began reading his
decision and had not proceeded two min
utes when the frowns of those identified
with the prosecution told which way the
drift was.
After the reading OF the decision States
Attorney LoDgeneoker suggested S25, 900
bail, but Mr.. Trude thought that excessive.
He said that Mr.. Sullivan was not rich !;
that he had persons other than his family
dependent on him, and that anything
above $40, 600 might be hard for him 10 get.
Judge Gilbert commended that $40, 900 was
as high bail as was ordinarily required.
The court fixed the bail ut 100000.
nj. W. KerWin, j. w. Tuohy, Daniel Cork
cry and Fernando Jones, who were among
the on-lookers, volunteered as bondsmen.
They were accepted without question, as
they are well-known citizens and worth
many times the amount OF the bond.
The special grand jury resumed Its inves-
legations this morning, but its proceedings
were devoid OF Interesting developments.
1t hourly becomes more apparent that the
inquiries OF the grand jury are to be little
more than repetition of the iIvestiga-
tons of the coroner's inquest. The same
witnesses are being summoned, and they
are telling their same old stories over again
with not even variation enough to excite
interest.
Interest In the proceedings revived, when
Just before noon, Byron l.. Smith, receiver
OF the deiunot Traders Bank, mounted the
steps, followed by "a messenger bearing the
bank books Of 1882, the date Of Alexander
Sullivan's speculations on the Board of
Trade. Luke Dillon assembled with eager
footsteps a moment later, and was shortly
followed by John T. Moore, OF the firm Of
]. II. Lester l. Co.. sulllvan's brokers. The
advent of these witnesses meant that the
attention OF the jury had been, for the
time being, diverted from Moroney and
Mcdonald TO an inquiry into Alexander
sulllvan's alleged specnl .tions with CLAN
nR-Gael funds.
The grand jury came into court late this
afternoon and reported an indictment In
local case, but returned to Its labors with
out handing In bills against any OF the sus-
poets In the Oronin case.

AvnP--A EsritnbIe Cloud Burst.
ST. LOUIS, June 1880 o. MAO
counts OF the disaster at Uniontowu,
Kansas, say that il was caused by the
bursting OF dam that the towns Of
Uniontown and Belletown were flooded
and that several lives were lost. Partio-
ulars are not obtainable there being no
night telegraph office near the scene Of
the disaster.
ST. LOUIS, June 17.--Addltional ad-
vices about the disaster In Kansas from
wind and rain storms are that Uniontown
about 10 miles west Of Fort Scott ON the
Wichita and Western railway was swept
away and that two women and four
children were drowned.
Uniontown, which is n place OF 600 in
habitanta, is in the midst of thickly
eettled country and II is feared that the
loss OF life is even heavier than reported.
The wires are down and nothing definite
can be learned.
The storm struck the western part Of
Bourbon county late OF night where it
had played great havoc. At Augusta il
assumed the form Of cloud burst and
although everything possible has been
done to obtain details by the railroads all
is uncertain at present.
Old residents at Fort Scott say IL was
the hardest rain in 80 years. Water
commenced raising in Buck Run at s
O. m. Lamb d Mead's ICE dam on Sixth
street burst about 10 a. m, csusing the
water in Buck Run to rise at the rate of
about three feet an hour, carrying away
several houses and the bridge across
Sixth street. The part of Fort Scott
known as Belletown is entirely under
water. This was caused by the overflow
from Marmaton river. People are taken
out with boats.
Several bridges were washed out and
trains were stopped on both sides of Fort
Scott. The Kansas, Nebraska n Dakota
track Is under water for about nine miles
out. The Memphis road is badly dam
aged for about ], 900 feet 10 miles north
of Fort Scott. ALI the people in the bot
tom in East Fort Scott moved ont. At
last accounts the water had stopped ris-
ing and II no more rain falls they will
rapidly subside. Every effort is being
made to obtain information from Union
town.

Street bill Ia matter hard TO tle,erm;ns
both houses undoubtedly passed the
original bill, yaoating only 20 feet Of ia
eod OF q street, while the Senate subae.
quently concurred in an amendment ex.
tending the vacated portion for distance
OF 1000 feet, which amendment WAS not
onerod In the House. II IL q question
whether the original bill, the amended
bill, or any bill ut all was legally passed
BY both houses.
LITIGATION POSSIBLE.
Willard salisbury, Jr, Esq, counsel
for the Union Bank has had a photo.
graphic copy taken Of the original bill
aud the amendment which contains the
rider. Should the Street and Sewer De.
partment attempt to remove it's deposita
from the Union Bank 1t is probable that
q restraining Injunction will be applied
for and the entire controversy sent before
judicial tribunal for decision.
The hearing OF evidence in the
investigation Of the passage of the q
street rider was completed bv
City Councils legislative committee
at session held in the Council
chamber Monday afternoon. But moth
ing now was developed. ~ the witnesses
Representatives Lodge, Whitemau and
Gray, knew nothing that would 20
towards proving how the bank rider was
attached to the q street bill.
MIR. Lodge was first called on. He re.
membered when the q street hill was called
up for final passage in the House. He
had understood that the bill was for the
vacation OF certain street in Wilmington,
and that there was no opposition to it,
for which reason he paid no particular
attention while II was read. Joseph l..
Carpenter, Jr., had told him about the
bill, and was talking TO Linn when it
passed.
Representative ]. Harvey whiteman
said he had no recollection whatever Of
the bill and knew nothing about the bill
or rider until the Monday after adjoarn-
ment.
Representative George W. Gray also
knew very little about the matter. When
the bill came from the Senate he turned
It over to MIR. Armstrong, but has no dis
tinct recollection OF its course after il
left his hands. He remembered that
MIR. Armstrong made a statement about
the bill when it was called up for third
reading, but had no recollection of any
amendment being offered. He knew
nothing of the rider.
This closed the testimony and the com
mittee adjourned. A report will proba-
bly, be made at this evenings regular
meeting Of City Council.

CrOnin's Removal.
CHICAGO, June 13.-One Of the most
important and startling statements in
connection with the Cronin murder was
made yesterday by Jack Stanley of the
city sewerage department 10 the friends
Of T.. II. O'Connor and Michael Hart.
The conversation was about Woodruff,
who is supposed to have driven the
wagon with the trunk containing Oronip's
body. Stanley, in reply to q question
from Hart. said that he knew Woodruff
from the fact that he worked FAT Deans
livery stable on Webster avenue where
he kept his stallion. 81 was suspicious
of the fellow" said Stanley, ''and was
afraid he would steal my horse or take
him out for service. / made inquiries
about him and found he had worked
three weeks at the stable for nothing but
his board. He was frequently seen in
conversation during the three weeks with
man who afterwards ascertained to be
Coughlin, the policeman arrested for the
murder Of DIR. Oronin."
How long before the night Of the
murder did you see Woodruff ?" asked
Hart.
II saw him that night I was OF the
Dean stable about or $50. Woodruff
began to act in q Suspicious manner. He
slept in the loft over the stable. He took
of his shoes on the stable floor and
climbed in his stocking feet into the loft
to sleep. Five or six minutes after he
retired I saw him peep owe. the stairway
to see whether we had goue. think we
delayed longer than usual but we finally
went out after time and forgot all
about the matter"
Stanley was sure that Dan Ooughlin,
now under arrest, is the person who was
in conversation with Woodruff, imme-
dirtely before the murder.
The importance of the statement lies
in the fact that it oorroborates Woodruff's
story as related to Chief Hubbard to a
remarkable degree. 1t connects Wood
ruff with ocughlin, the detective.

Death OF John w. Isardsioy Whs
introduced the Birds.

Death of John w. Iiardsioy who
introduced the Birds.
Philadelphia Record of Tuesday.
The man VINO brought tho first English
sparrow to America died at his residence
in Germantown yesterday. John w.
Bardsley, Familiarity known as "Sparrow
Dick" was thrown to the ground from
his carriage on Friday, and was taken
to his home, ut Upsai and Main streets.
Years ago the pesky insects known as the
measuring worm, and familiar to every
one because Of its commences, and the
manner in which IL orawled along, as
though measuring its progress by inches,
became an intolerable nuisance In this
city. Every effort to eradicate the
swsrms in the city squares and on the
shaded streets was unavailing. Especially
was the inject bothersome in German
town, and it was agreed that the man
who could find o means of getting rid Of
1t would be a public benefaotor. MIR.
Bsrdsley proved to be that man. While
on q visit to England in 1869 MIR. Bards-
ley received oablegram, sent by order
of city councils, requesting him to oap-
ture about 1000 English sparrows and
bring them with hin upon his return
home. He did SO, and the sparrows were
liberated in the public squares.
In short time the insects were all
gone, but the sparrows became thicker
than the measuring worms had been, and
as great nuisance. For years ii has
been greater problem as to how to
eradicate the sparrows than it ever was rs
to how to rid the country of the worms.
The deceased was an active member for
years of the Germantown poor board and
OF the Republican executive committee.
He was n very prominent member la a
la-ge number Of secret societies, and was
treasurer of many OF them. He was
very popular in the Twenty second ward.
He was member of the Society of
Spiritualists.
