Disappointed Boomers Returning Penni-
less and Starving to Their Old Homes.
Arkansas CRY, May 6.-The suffering
of baffled boomers finds most evidence
along the northern border. Yesterday
1000 wagons we're on the march down,
and 100 on the way back were counted.
The groves in Arkansas and Walnut, river
valleys that offered camps for the boom
ers before the descent are
filling again with returning un-
fortunates. There are hundreds
of families among them who have sold
everything to make the trip and now have
nothing left. The sight of men and
women and children who are thus unpro-
yided for and desolate, with the mere
frames of horses surviving to drag them
along, is pitiful.
Guthrie still holds the majority of the
population, and is not yet systematically
located. Oklahoma City is the most
promising town site. Captain Crouch, the
old successor to Boomer Payne, was Sat
urday elected mayor, defeating preacher
whose platform was against whisky and
gambling. As long as the latter is ex-
Guided, as it is now, serious trouble cannot
occur in Oklahoma.

whom Dootor Cronin lived, are still very
indignant about the affair. A reporter
found them to- day to be more excited than
yesterday. When he entered the room
Mrs. Conklin was talking inooherently.
At last she stopped in front of him and
said fiercely with compressed lips:
"We know that Doctor Cronin was muir
dered."
"That is pretty broad statement" said
the reporter.

of it, but when / say it l mean all that
word can imply. We know that Mr.
Cronin was murdered, for we have re-
ceived positive information to that effect
Mr.. Conklin then said: "All that my
wife has said is true. We have the infor.
nation and have it from reliable source
If you know as much as do about the
inside workings of the plots Of the gang
AGAINST the doctors life you would believe
it, too. We are on the track and have
hired detectives to hunt up the claims I'm
in possession of. There is going to be @

He was cut short at this point by hii
wife by an admonition to the effect that
too much had already been said, and al
efforts to stir up further talk about thu
matter were frultless.

Drouth In Michigan.

EAST SAGINAW, Mich. J., May I'm north
ern Michigan no rain has fallen in several
months, and as result fires are raging
in every direction, threatening destruction
to property and heavy losses to lumber
men and farmers. In Midland, Glare,
Gladwin and Osoeola counties, the fires are
running through the timber and uncleared
farms, and in several places men blinded
by smoke are working in brigades trying
to check the progress of the fire. North
OF this city yesterday nearly mile of
forest was burned. The flames famed
by brisk south wind were rapidly sweep
ing everything before them. Danger
from the same source is also reported
from Huron county.

which nothing could disturb. The ex
pressed wish of Commodore Vanderbilt,
that the University should be connecting
link between the northern and southern
sections of the country, through the be
nefioent and notifying effects OF educa-
ton rather than q link between the north
ern and southern sections of the church,
became more prominent idea.
The trend of government so clearly out
lined by the late president win govern in
the conditions set for his successor,
Bishop Hargrove, whose election will give
satisfaction, not only to the University
people, the faculty, students and immedi-
ate connections of the institution, but to
the Methodist church at large, and
friends of education everywhere in the
south.

THE REFRIGERATION PRoJGor.

Galveston Fails to Meet ITS Engagement
With the Csttlemen of Texas.
Special to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, May 6-The committee
who represent the beef men interested in
the beef refrigerator enterprise, arrived
here to-day for the purpose of closing the
CONTRACT with the Galveston committee,
relative to the location of the cold stor-
age warehouse here.
A lengthy conference was held at the
banking house of Adoue d. Lobit this
evening, and the cattlemen were
much ohagrined to learn that
Galveston was not prepared
to fulfill her part of the contract, which
means, in the event Of the cold storage
warehouse being located here, they would
give cash bonus of $4,000 and secure
the location for the cold storage ware
house near to the wharfs. GalvestoL's
committee pleaded that its citizens had
been 80 actively engaged in inaugursting
other manufacturing enterprises, that
they had not had time to prop
erly consider the cold storage question or
make their pledges good; they however
stated IL granted ten days. grace they
would be able to make their proposition
good.
This, after considerable discussion, was
finally acceded to by the cattlemen's oom-
mittee, wfa will return here In ten iiayss,

cate, and are now anxious to put 1t into
practical operation as quickly as possible.
They have liberal inducements from New
Orleans to locate the cold storage

point for this beef, but maj ority of the
oattlemen prefer Galveston. However, il
Galveston is not prepared ten days from

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May THE board Of
trustees of Vanderbilt university met here
to-day and elected Bishop Hargrove pres

deceased, who was placed at the head Of
the university by its founder and benefao-
tor, Commodore Vanderbilt, with almost
autocratic authority.
The old commodore knew he was en-

personal knowledge of. He blocked out

Formal Opening of the John Hopkins
Hospital-Objects the Institution.
BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE John Hopkins
hospital, Mount street and Broadway,
was formally opened this morning. 1t is
one of the finest and most complete in
the world, embracing seventeen buildings
which cover four acres of ground and are
surrounded by ten acres of beautiful
park, which will afford healthful exer-
else to patients. Its construction was begun
more than ten years ago, and the total
cost was $2,000,000, due to the munlfi-
cence of one man, the late John
Hopkins. 1t was he who founded and
provided for the John Hopkins university.
Addresses we're delivered by Francis T.
King, president of the hospital; Lieuten-
ant John s. Billings, U. s. A., and d. 8.
Geman, president OF the John Hopkins
university.
President King said that ohm Hopkins,
in founding his two great trusts, the uni
versity and hospital, each with an endow-
ment of nearly $3,500,000, was not sotu-
ated by wish to build monument to
his own memory. His motives were
higher and nobler. He remembered That
in reply to a question as to why he had
never made q will Mr.. Hopkins said he
looked upon his wealth as gift for which
he was not accountable, but which was
given to him for purpose, and he did
not believe he would die before it was re-
vealed to him how he should dispose
of it,
"This wealth." he said, "is my steward
ship" One of the most interesting parts
of Mr.. Kings address was q quotation
from letter written by John Hopkins to
his trustees, who clearly get forth in few
words the good purposes to accomplish
1t was as follows:
"You shall receive in the hospital thu
INDECENT and sick of this city and its en-
vlrons, without any regard to sex, age o.
color, who may require surgical or med
icaI treatment, and poor Of this city ant
state of all races, which are stricken b.
any casualty"

Progress and Conclusion of the Woodruff
County Cases.
LITTLE Rock, May Tt is probable
the conclusion of the Woodruff county
case in the federal court will end the
criminal prosecution before Judge Cald-
we'll. This morning it was announced the
appropriation for payment of witnesses
in government cases had been exhausted.
A letter to that effect had been received
from the Encouragement by Mr.. o. M.
Shelman, United States marshal. Sum-
ming up the matter, Judge Caldwell said
the prosecution of the government Grim
inaL, case was practically ended. The
grand jury would be discharged
because no further business
could be transacted without men
to testify. The Judge said he would not
summon men to appear without the
means at hand to compensate them.
District Attorney Waters, in answer to
some questions upon the subject, said all
the principal cases had in fact been set
tied. The cases that had been before the
United States commissioner, and found
of sufficient merit to be bound over, had
all been tried. Furthermore, the grand
Jury was on the eve of adjournment, and
lack of funds was not such fearful
calamity after all. Notwithstanding all
this, the fact rem aims that there are 9
number of cases on. the docket which will
20 over to the next term of the federal
court.
In the Martin, Hs:ght and Anthony
cases the argument on both sides has beer
com pleted. At O'Clock the court charged
the Jury as to the law and instructed then
as to returning their verdict If they ar
rived at one before the court opens to
morrow, and the court adjourned as thu
Jury retired from the room.

of his evidence relating to the statement
by him in the house of commons concern
ing the non-existence of secret societies in
Ireland; upon referring to the reports
of the proceedings of the
house of commons he found that his
remarks referred particularly to ribbonism
and not secret conspiring generally. His
remarks, therefore, were not fairly accu-
rate statement of facts, as ribbonism at
that time practically did not exist in Ire
land.
Mr.. Parnell said be sometimes
vate account in behalf of the league He
did not object to an inspection of the ae-
counts. Attorney-general Webster here
began protracted examination of wit
ness as to his banking transactions, but
failed to elliott anything of note. Being
further cstechised on his knowledge OF
General Miller and other members of the
physical force party, Mr.. Parnell de-
clared the majority of the members of
that party were utter strangers to him.
He had never said that Mr.. Egan had
Joined the Clan-na-Gael. He would re-
greet to find that Mr.. Egan had returned
to the physical force party, but he should
not think such a course unnatural. Re-
ferring to Secretary Leriss, Mr.. Parnell
said he considered that the person
who Joined the league and continued to
be member of the Clan-na-Gael acted
to the injury of the leagues policy. Any
member of the league who would advocate
the use of dynamite would be traitor.
