ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Serious Charge Against a Colored
Clergyman.

PIrrsBURa, July 9.-Rev. E. F. Flemon, alias
John Yeldell, was arrested at 10 O'Clock last
night in this city, just after he had concluded
services as a minister in a colored church on
Arthur street, on a charge of murder. The
arrest was the result of telegram received by
Inspector McAleese from Sheriff Thomas F.
Lyon of Edgefeld county, South Carolina, a
few days ago. The telegram stated that Fle-
mon. or Yeldell, had been implicated in q
brutal murder in that county in 1886, but fed
at the time and had not been heard of
since until a short time ago, when,
through a letter addressed to somebody
in that locality, it was learned that he had To-
Gated in this vicinity. From the description
given of the man the officers decided that Rev.
z. Flemon, of the Arthur Street Wesley church,
was the man, and last night after the services
they arrested him at his boarding house. He
seemed greatly surprised when told what he
was wanted for, but would not acknowledge
that he was the man. He was taken to central
station, where he was searched and number
of letters addressed to Rev. Flemon were found
upon him. What the letters contained the Of
fcers kept to themselves. Word was tele-
graphed to Sheriff Lyon last night, and he is
expected here tomorrow to get his prisoner.
He is an unusually bright and well-educated
colored man and betrays no sign of nervousness
over his arrest. He has been regarded as
very exemplary man and minister by the col
ored people here.

GETTING AWAY.
Both Pugilists Fleeing From Gov. Low.
ry's ReQuisition.

New YORK, July "a New Orleans special
says: The governor of Mississippi got out
reguisition for Kilrain's arrest, but Jake gave
every one the slip and left here very quietly
at 7:15 this morning over the Queen and Cres-
cent line and was over the state line
before he was missed. He will go
straight through to Baltimore without
Mitchell Pony Moore, and Johnny Murphy aie
with the party. Frank Stevenson remains be-
hind to settle up business matters.
The excursion money will give each man
about 1000. Sullivan leaves for the north at
$50 this afternoon.
false report was started here this morning
that Kilrain was in the hospital with three
broken ribs, and caused much excitement
among the sporting fraternity
What rest Kilrain was able to obtain during
the night does not seem to have braced him
up to any great extent, and it is evident that
his mental suffering is much more poignant
than the pain caused by his physical injuries.
Gov. Lowry Determined.
New ORLEANS, July 9.-Dispatches from
Jackson, Miss, received this morning say Gov.
Lowry is determined to bring Sullivan and
Kilrain to justice. 1t is said he will have in
formation lodged against them and
demand their extradition. The
men will, therefore, be struggled
out Of town tonight Sullivan goes to Boston
to his aged mother, to whom he tele-
graphed Immediately upon his return to New
Orleans last night. He says he has abandoned
his dissipated habits and will live straight
after this. He is also determined to keep him
self fully up to his present condition.
KILRAIN Is ALL TORN UP.
He wept nearly all night. This morning he
told a reporter that defeat meant more to him
than any one had any idea Of. 1t is almost the
unanimous opinion that Kilrain ought to have
never been pitted against Sullivan. That he
was match for the Boston boy was obvious
from his first appearance in the ring. 1t is
now believed that the Kilrain crowd were thor
oughly under the opinion that Sullivan would
show up in poor condition. 1t is now reported
that Sullivan will make Kirain q present of
$1,000. Madden wants Sullivan to fight Ashton
and declares that when he gets back to New
York he will issue a challenge on behalf Of
Ashton to fight the big fellow. Madden de-
clares that he will post IS 900 that Ashton can
whip Sullivan. The concensus of opinion,
however, is that it will be a long time before
any one will care to stand up before Sullivan
in fight to a finish.

AT JOHNSTOWN.
The Work of Clearing Up Going on
Satisfactorily Now.

JoHNsrowN, Pa, July 9.-Although the board
of inquiry has filed report to be presented to
to the state commission to-day its work here is
not yet completed. Dozens Of clerks are still
at work registering the losses Of those who had
not been reported.
The work of clearing up the town goes on
very rapidly now, and the satisfactory manner
in which things are done is attributed largely
to the fact that nearly all Johnstown men are
employed.
Fronts are being put in the new business
houses in the park and they will be ready for
occupancy in few days. The new places at
the Market square are also about completed.

Bows on Trial for Murder.

The case Of Alfred Jones, Frank Pickett,
BENZ. Watkins and Samuel Bradus, the four
colored boys indicted for the murder of Chas.
Bailey on September 2, 1883, from wounds in
ficted August 10 of that year, was continued
in the Criminal Court after The STARS report
closed.
DR.. Winter, John Green, Abraham Coleman,
Lester johnson, Alice Hunter, Alice Sarvoy,
James Tucker, James Hughes and Officer Town
testified for the government. The purport of
the testimony was that death resulted from lock-
jaw caused by the injuries; that the original
difficulty was between deceased and Broadus,
and that Bailey was told to cut him; that after
the fracas the three were seen running: that
the parties after arrest admitted being in the
fracas and claimed that Bailey struck first,
using his knife.
The defendants testimony tended to show
that the deceased was the aggressor. Each of
the defendants testified in his own behalf.
The trial was resumed this morning and the
counsel for the defense submitted a number of
prayers for instructions, after which the argu-
ments were entered upon.
Major Walker, who appears for Pickets, ar
gued the case for his client, and was followed
by Major Darlington for Jones and Broadus
and Mr.. Yoder for Watkins.

Chief Clerk Of the Printing Office.

Public Printer Palmer has filled position in
his Office for which there was good deal of
competition, but the prize did not go to either
of the talked-of candidates. Mr.. Palmer ap-
pointed VIM. H. Collins Of this city to be chief
clerk. Before the Office closed yesterday after
noon it became pretty generally known that
Mr.. Collins had been selected and a large num-
Der CT the employees crowded into his Office to
congratulate him on the honor and remunera-
ton which were his. Mr.. Collins has oualif-
cations which peculiarly fit him for the i'm
portant place he has Unexpectedly been called
to fill. He was born in Columbia county, N. Y,
and came to this city when quite young. In
1867, when Hon. John ID. Defrees was public
printer, he entered the government printing
Office as an apprentice and, under the foreman
ship of Charles E. Lathrop, learned the COM
positors' art. A little more than a year after
the conclusion of Mr.. Collins apprenticeship
Capt Brian, then foreman, selected the young
graduate to serve as his clerk, and for about
eighteen months Mr.. Collins performed the
varied duties incidental to his new position. In
December, 1873, he was detailed to the Capitol as
Congressional Record clerk. and when the first
session of the Forty-third Congress closed Mr..
A. M. Clapp. who had succeeded Mr.. Defrees
promoted Mr.. Collins to a regular clerkship in
the Office. In this capacity he remained until
Mr.. Palmer came into possession. and Mr. COL
Inns was then made chief bookkeeper, at the
same time performing many Of the duties
which would ordinarily devolve upon the chief
and to-day he formally took hold of the respon-
sibilities attached thereto. Mr.. Collins is, and
always has been, a republican and an efficient
and popular employe. Public Printer
Palmer has been congratulated by many on the
satisfactory character of the appointment

SIGNAL SERVICE DISCIPLINE.
A urt-Martial Sentence Approved,
With q Comment.

Major Gen. Schofeld has approved the find
ings and sentence in the case of Sergt. G. A.
Weber, signal corps, tried by court-martial at
Jefferson barracks, Mo. He was charged with
disobedience of orders and conduct prejudicial
to good order and military discipline.
The court found him guilty of the first charge
but acquitted him of the second. He was SEN
fenced him to be reprimanded by the review
ing authority, and the sentence continued:
''The court is thus lenient on account of the
loose and peculiar state Of discipline existing
in the United States signal service, as shown by
evidence before the court"
THE SIGNAL SERVICE NOT on TRIAL.
The approval said:
"The accused was found guilty of the spe-
cific offense of disobedience of orders under
circumstances which must tend to impair the
efficiency of an important branch OF the mill
tary service.
base its action upon the previous good character
OF the accused, nor does it seem to have been
influenced by anything affecting him in the
evidence.
THE court seems not to have been aware that
not the signal service but Sergeant Weber was
that even If its uncalled-for structures were
justified by the fact "a matter which was
not before the COURT it was called into ex-
istence for the purpose of correcting by proper
punishment such infractions Of discipline as
were properly brought to its notice. This the
court has failed to do; but the reviewing au-
thority hopes that such action as has been taken
will recall Sergeant Weber to that sense
of soldierly subordination which is the founda-
ton Of all discipline and efficient military
service. Subject to the foregoing remarks the
proceedings and findings are approved. Ser
geant Weber will be released from arrest and
restored to duty"

THE DOCTORS AaITArED.
DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
WILL MOVE THE WATER MAIN.


Some days ago the Commissioners received
a communication from President Hurt of the
Washington and Georgetown railroad. in which
he requested that the Commissioners lower the
water mains on 7th street. as in their
present location they would interfere
to-day decided that it was not advisable to COM
ply with his request, but say that they are
willing to move the main to one side
and lay a new 6-inch main on the opposite side.
This will do away with the serious disad-
vantage of having hundreds of service-pipes
and taps beneath the conduits. The expense
for material and the skilled labor necessary to
make the changes is estimated at 700. The
work. except that of excavation, refilling, &C.,
will be done by the water department.

In the last appropriation bill for the support
of the government of the District of Columbia
an appropriation of S125, 900 was made for the
repair Of Penn. ave. from LIST to 18th sts H. W..
The late Board of Commissioners regarded this
as new work and directed that proposals for
the work should be invited. Mr.. H. L. Cram
ford, having a contract with the District gov
eminent for repairing and resurfacing all con-
crete pavements, claimed the work should be
done under the provisions of his contract.
After considerable correspondence his claim
was rejected and proposals invited. Upon a
computation of the bids for the work and a
comparison Of the. prices submitted
with those contained in Cranford's con-
tract it was found that the work
could be done at considerable saving under
Cranford's. contract, 30 the invited propo-
sails were rejected and Crawford was called
upon to do the work under the terms and
prices contained in his contract
