Another Dangerous Stream Between Con

PIrrsBURG, July "A special from
Johnstown says: The heavy rains Of yes
terday and last night flooded out five
families in Cambria City. The water
came pouring down the mountain last
night and filed the cellars and first floors
OF the houses, destroying all the furniture
that had been saved from the big flood.
There is great alarm among the people
over the condition of the COnemaugh
river. It has risen from a narrow shallow
stream TO a broad river. The water rose
five feet this morning in two hours and
threatened at one time to overflow the
banks. The foot bridge above the Penn
sylvania railroad freight station has been
carried away. There are danger of the
Temporary bridge erected by the B. & o.
going ont Six loaded feight cars were
run ont on the bridge to save it.
Orders were given at General Dc ting s
headquarters at 10 o'clock to get every
thing in shape for quick removal, as it was
fear the tents would be washed away.
Stony creek is running rs wild as the Lit
tie Conemsugh, but as its banks are much
higher, there is no danger OF an overflow
along that stream.
The rain is coming down in Drrents, and
people fear that the Conemsugh will yet
sweep over its banks and flood the town.
Eight bodies were recovered to-day. One
of them was identified as the c1y of Miss

BURKE AND C00NEY,
A GRAND JUROR SAYS, wRRR ORONIN's
MURDRRRRS.
The Ice Mans Heart Failed Him, and BE Covered in
Another Room While the Crime Was
Done - A Friend Says
hcInsrny Lives.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The Herald'S Chi
csgo special gives conversation with one
of the grand jurors in the Cronin case in
regard to the evidence submitted. Among
other things, he clid: "Pat O'Sullivau,
the ice man, was in the Carlson cottage
when CrOnin was killed, but his nerve
failed him and he went into another room
when the butchery was going on and cow
cred in corner until the thing was over.
Then he came out and assisted in undressing
the body and putting it into the trunk.
OSullivan can tell more than Beggs.
OOughlin engineered the scheme, but he
~ used as a tool by others. Coughlin
knows more than any one else, but he is
not likely to turn informer. Burke,
COoney and O'Sullivan were the only men
10 the cottage when the murder was COM
mitted, so far as we were able to ascertain,
Coughlin not arriving there until the doc
tor was dead. Only the details of the
story are wanting, together with one or
two of the n drderers, and these the police
will get before long.
William Connolly, who had charge of
the Castle Garden Labor Bureau for about
ten years, and is said to have been an in
innate friend of the DOCTORS, said to-day
II know whereof 1 speak, and l assert
positively that DR.. McInerny is alive and
well. Moreover, his absence from the city
has no connection whatever with DR.. Gro
Din's murder. Dr. McInerny left New
York April 10 last. l heard from him
about the middle of May. l know per
fectly why 1 have not heard from him
since. But 1 do not feel authorized to
make public a chronicle of the movements
of private individual simply because Of a
baseless newspaper story OF bis death.
From actual knowledge, l am positive he
Ia alive and we'll. That will satisfy his
friends, think"
RUMORED PLAN TO RESCUE BURKE.
The Times says that the friends of the
Cronin conspirators at Hancock, Mich.
are planning the rescue of Martin Burke
while on the way from Winnepeg to Obi
caeo. 1t says that every public Office
about Hancock is filed by Clan-ns-Gsel
man, and that crippled telegraph OpC
rator who was not a Clan-na-Gael man has
lately been discharged to make room ior
female member. Thus the Clan may know
every communication which goes in or out
of the place. Plans for a rescue could be
laid with safety and executed with Ger
tainty, rs only three officers are likely to
accompany Burke.

BELMONT COUNTY POLITICS.
Bellsire, Bridgeport and Martins Ferr!
Furnish Some Aspiring Candidates.

BeIIaIre, Bridgeport and Martins Ferry
Furnish Some Aspiring Candidates.
Everything in Belmont county is hot
now except politics. Candidates are
plentiful but they merely make their for
NAL bows, and then retire until the cam
paign opens in earnest. For several years
past the Republican majority in the coun-
ty has increased considerably, and as re-
suit fewer Democrats have held public
Office in the county. This fact too has en-
couraged many men to aspire for places on
the probably successful ticket, in part at
least. Here are the names Of the Repub-
llcan candidates announced up to date:
Clerk-John W. Rose, KirkwoC Town
ship; Her-y NJ. Davies, J. Q. Longley, 7.
O. Ayers, Richland; N. W. Duf, Cole
rain.
Auditor-George NJ. Wise, Pultney; ].
A. Bond, Union; L. W. Fisher, Flushing.
Treasurer-Eli Moore, Warren; Abe
Kelly, Warren; w. S. Mechem, Washing
inton; T. B. Archer, Pultney.
Commissioner-A. NJ. Brown, Peese;
William Sharon, COlerain; John Ship, Sr.,
Warren.
For Recorder, John NJ. Beckett, who
has made an excellent official, is entitled
to 10 q renominsticl according TO party
usage, and will receive it. Hon. I. A.
McKelvey will likewise be named ss can
didate for the Legislature.
For State Senate, in the Belmont-Harri-
son district, Senator Glover asks for re-
nomination, Belmont county has two as
pirsnts for his toga. They are Charles II.
Arrick, of Richlsnd; and John S. Cochran,
Of Peese.
John Ship, Sr., of Warren township,
who is named for commissioner, is an in
telligent and worthy colored man, and he
asks that his race be recognized in the per-
sonnel Of the ticket.
Among the Democrats names are sug-
pested with considerable freedom, bat il is
certain that in some case the use OF names
is wholly unauthorized. For instance,
Newell K. Kennon is suggested for Repre-
sentative, though he would probably not
accept the nomination if rendered to him
unanimously. These are all Democrats
spoken of for places on the ticket:
Clerk-Frank Williams, Pultney; d. II.
Milligan, Richland.
Auditor-Joseph A. Henderson, Rich
land.

Special telegram 10 ne Register.
WASHINGTON, July st can be safely
said that one appointment has been de-
termined on here that will warm up one
corner of the Republican camp in West
Virginia, until humble bees nest won't
be circumstance compared with it. 1t is
certain that Hon. George Wesley Atkinson
has recommended J. P. Bradley, of New
Cumberland, for postmaster at that place,
and the appointment will be made at an
early day.
The contest for this position has been of
the bitterest character. About
two weeks ago Mr.. Atkinson
wrote to one of the aspirants that if they
could agree among themselves on any one
man he would make the appointment.
Acting on this suggestion, Mr. Bradley en-
tered into an agreement with, Shane, Scott,
Flowers and the other aspirsnts, that an
election should be held, and the man re-
ceiving the largest number Of votes
of the Republican voters should
be the unanimous choice. This was agreed
to. The election was held, and Shane got
four votes more than Bradley and was de-
clared the nominee. Ont of the 235 Re-
publican voters in the district, all but
seven then signed Shane's papers.
Now Bradley turns up as a candidate
again, and in spite of his agreement will
get the Office. 1t is understood that his
friends have agreed to return solid At
kinson delegation from Hancock county
to the next congressional convention.
They will have job on their hands. Mr..
Atkinson's name is spelled with little
"ar in Hancock county just now, and
there will be fun when Bradley's hench-
men try to pack convention for him.
