FREEMASONS' HALL, FIFTH AVENUE
AT SILVER LAKE GROVE.
Hibernians Strongly Condemn the Murder
of Or. Crenin-Their Summer Picnic
Was a Grand Success.


of Or. Crenin-Their Summer Picnic
Was Grand Success.
Yesterday the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans held grand parade ard picnic
at Silver Lake Grove. On Tuesday
the grove echoed the bravas Of
Pittsburg's Italians; yesterday it rang
with the cheers and laughter of the children
of Green Erin. The fete was given under
the auspices of Company c, of Hibernian
Rifles. Early, in the,afternoon Captain E.
Moran, at the head of so men, and accom-
panied by the Montooth Band, left Hi
bernian Hall, and marching to the Union
depot, took the P. M. train for East Lib
erty. First came Chief Marshal Fallon,
surrounded by staff of some 40 aids.
Three companies of the Hibernian Rifles,
numbering in all $50 men, and over 400
members of the A. o. II. brought up the
rear. B. R. McNeirney acted as Chief of
Staff, and Messrs. Owen Murphy, P. M.
Conolly and j. j. Mcclure were the
Assistant Marshals. A mighty crowd
surged into the grounds to hear the promised
speeches and join in the revelry. Dancing
opened the entertainment
About o'clock the guests were invited to
hear the speakers Of the day. On the plat
form were among others: Rev. Dr. Mac
Donald, of st. Paul's Cathedral; Rev.
Father Corcoran, St Agnes; Rev. Father
O'Callaghan, Braddock, and Maurice II.
Wilhere, President of the A. o. h. Mr..
Wilhere addressed the meeting in long
and eloquent speech. which was frequently
interrupted BY the enthusiastic plaudits of
the great audience.
Rev. DIR. Macdonald moved the first reso-
luton, which deprecated the cowardly at
tempts to fasten the murder of DIR. Cronin
in Chicago upon the whole Irish race, and
make every Gael responsible for the crime
OF few dastardly miscreants. He said:
"This resolution was one that should be pro-
posed from every Irish platform in America.
A dreadful crime had been committed
by misguided wretches, and straightway
certain so-called 'patriots' took the oPpor-
tunity to brand the Irish with the crime.
If Americans took the trouble to read the
annals of the Civil War they could then say
whether or not the Irish in America were
accustomed to play the part of assassins
and towards. Americans blame the Irish
man for loving mis- native land; but does he
not love his America himself? 1t was hard
to tear out of the heart one Of its noblest
sentiments-loye of country. Besides a
love Of the old country was quite compatible
with faithful service of the United States
in the capacity Of citizen"
He called upon his audience "while ever
remembering their duty to the land OF their
adoption, vet never to cease their honest
and noble efforts to insure for the nation of
their sires that happiness and that freedom
which it has so long desired"
The resolution proposed by DR.. Mac
Donald was passed amid cheers.
The picnic lasted until 10 P. M. and the
fun never tagged.

ARRESTS BY WHOLESALE.
A Job.Lot Business Done Among tho Nc.
Keesport Speak. Easjes.


Keesport Speak. Easjes.
Assistant County Detective Patrick Muir
ply and large posse of officers have drawn
a drag-net through McKeesport and have
raked in 10 alleged proprietors OF speak
easies, while nearly as many more got
away. 1t is safe to say that 1t requires
more strategy to get nip in that city, out
side of the licensed establishments, than
the stuff is worth, unless the seeker be a
chronic who thinks the search worth any
sacrifice imaginable.
Informations have been quietly accumu-
lating at Alderman Gripp's Office for weeks,
as places could be spotted, but the net was
not drawn until it was well filled. Some of
the intended victims succeeded in getting
through the meshes. At John Conroy's
place the raiders found number of women
who proved to be regular Amazons, and
fought vigorously until two of them were
felled and rendered senseless. Several men
were severely maced by the officers. Con-
roy succeeded in escaping.
The names of those arrested are: Joseph
Roth Conrad Houseman, William Dean, Mrs
Zimerman, Louis Winkleman, Mrs Flaherty
John Higgins DANIEL Butler, Frank Logan.
Frank FenigaL. John Havelln, Mrs. Thomas
Knee. A. Delacourt Mrs. Peter Spiehlman,
Mrs Breitinger and Mrs. Passmore.
All but one succeeded in furnishing bail
promptly, an official stating that it seemed
as the raided had covered their shorts in
this respect, in anticipation of being raided.
The one who failed to have bail ready was
in Jail but few minutes until he too found
relief and enlargement

They Were Sent TO Johnstowu, but the
Donors Did Not Know II.
w. r. Thompson, Treasurer of the Johns
town Relief Fund, yesterday received the
following letter from the Oliver and Roberts
Wire Company:
"On the 9th day of June last, we shipped to
Jas. B. Scott chairman, Johnstown, Pa, car
load of wire nails to be used by the committee,
and on the same day we wrote to the CON-
mittee of the Chamber ofCommerce rendering
these nails as a donation. We have never
received any acknowledgment directly or in
directly, and we do not know whether the
nails reached their destination or not. Will
you kindly look the matter up and ascertain;
and If they did, have the value of them (which
we believe was S649) credited to the Pitts
burg subscriptions. We do not care personally
for any credit, but we want everything that
went from this city to count We dislike to
trouble you with the matter. but we do not
know to whom else TO write. You can refer it
to the proper party" ~
(. Mr.. Marvin, who acted as Chkirman Of
the Purchasing and Shipping Committee
during the WORK of the Relief Committee,
said yesterday that the car of nails had
been received and forwarded to Johnstown,
where they we're properly distributed.
Oliver & Roberts were given credit for the
donation at the time the nails were received.

HARTFORD'S BIG STAKE.
AIcyron Defeats the Great Favorite Nelson
and Winsthe Big Event-Large Amount
ofMoney Lost and won-Other

ravorftes beateus
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
HARTFORD, August 2s.-For the past six
years the Charter Oak guarantee stake has
been the interesting trotting event Of the grand
circuit This year has found no abatement in
the interest, and the facilities for handling
big crowd at the Park were taxed to the utmost
this afternoon. Weather and track good.
The sensational stallion Nelson was thought
to be fast and reliable to capture the necessary
three heats and the lions share of the stake,
while few speculative turfmen thought that
the field contained one or two horses that could
give him great race. The gray Alcryon stood
highest in public estimation, while the gelding
'.Jack" had some friends also. The betting be-
fore the race indicated how Nelson stood for
the money poured in on him at odds of about
to against the field, and when he few away
and won the first heat in 2:l4l his hackers
stood by him more firmly than ever
The next heat saw one of the most complete
transformations that ever occurred on the
trotting turf, for Nelson had lost his marvel
Gus fight and was beaten in the last few yards
by Alcryon- After that the field stock took
the place that his had formerly occupied, and,
when the gray stallion repeated his perform.
ance in the third mile, he at once ruled the
betting. Another heat ended matters, for
while Nelson was more badly off than ever. It
Is the nrst time In the history of the race that
so great favorite was thrown down, and the
eIcitement was great in proportion.
The other two events of the afternoon,
though rshadowed by the stake, were not
lacking in quality or interest For the 23O
class such cracks as Marie Jansen, Rajah and
Susan we're scratched. but the slower field were
well matched and it required six heats before
Maud Muller was able to bring matters to an
end. The Poughkeepsie mare Constance
started well with two heats and second of
22lZ, but she made a misstep in the fourth
which crippled her SO that she had to slow and
see the flag fall long before she could get to it.
The New York mare Fredericka has improved
greatly in Goldsmiths hand and made a strong
bid for the fifth heat. but she is not yet quite
steady for close finishes The 2.A class saw
another favorite defeated when Farmer Boy
walked off with first money in straight heats,
leading his field all through. Amy Lee who
on public form was backed at odds. was only
able to get near Father Daly's trotter in the
last heat. Farmer Boy made a new record for
himself of 2:20Z in the second heat and put
all the miles in quite fast time. Summaries:
