LExANpER sULL1vAN's WIFE.


of the man arrested for completely
in the Cronin murder, has spent a
good deal of time in New York in
the last six months. It is not many
weeks since she sailed from that
city for Paris, where she had better
newspaper engagements for report
ing the exposition than any other
feminine representatives Of journal
ism. Her main services have been
given to the Associated Press and
Chicago Tribune, but she has also
been doing some work for long
list of important dailies: Her
friends are uncertain whether she
will return now or whether she will
think that the present crisis renders
it all the more important that she
be making all the money she can.
She is much attached to her hus-
band. She is genuine Irish woman
in appearance and character-large,
ford, agreeable looking, we'll dress
ed, and with the ability to make
herself particularly agreeable to
various sorts Of people. She is ex-
tremely kind to younger women
who are struggling for foothold
in affairs, and two bright young
girls from the west, for whom she
had obtained positions as New York
correspondents of the Chicago Tri-
bune, became, during last winter,
quite we'll known in some Of the
literary circles of New York. Mrs.
Sullivan says that while she is
deeply panied at the falsehoods told
about her husband, and his arrest,
as being implicated in the Cronin
mystery, yet her knowledge of her
husbands absolute innocence OF
the crime sustains her. The release
of Sullivan in $4,000 bail by order
of Judge Tuley, is not a hardship
nor wrong to the friends of DR..
Cronin, and will not be considered
so by fair-minded men. We do not
see how the Judge, with the evil
dence before him, and in view of
his obligations under the law, could
have taken any other action.
THE JoHNsTowN GORGE.
A remarkable exemplification OF
the terrible force of the food at
Johnstown is furnished by the sum-
mary of the strata of a single part
of that gorge which was forced open
by dynamite the other day. There
was a railroad bridge at the bottom,
on top of that a hotel, above that a
section of the Gautier Steel Works,
and upon that foundation a super
structure of houses and small build
ings. This immense pile was hurled
together in an almost impregnable
mass, by that terrible rush ofwaters.
When stone, brick and iron are
tossed about like chips and feathers
the wonder is heightened that any
flesh and blood has survived to tell
of the terrible event. A little way
above Johnstown, in what was
known as Millville, the earth is
gouged in numerous places to
depths of four, FIVE and even ten
feet. There is a spot in the bed of
the river where a gigantic boulder
stood eight feet in diameter and five
feet high. Its general shape was
rounded, so that any ordinary OBJ
iect striking it would glance off
The wave struck that boulder and
split it in two, carrying part of il
q dozen rods down stream. Doubt.
less there was some kind of a seam
which permitted the cleavage, but
the break looks fresh all the way
through. A newspaper man stood
and looked at this evidence of the
floods power for a few moments
shook his head and said: mo, III
not describe that, for nobody viii
believe it possible" W. B. Stevens
correspondent of the Globe-Demo
crat, was finally courageous enough
to send description of the wonder
full occurrence to his paper.
A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
