"Wil this decision affect corpora

"Most certainly" replied Gen.
Pryor, Judge Barret's decision is
founded upon The commo law, which
is the same in every State, and it there
fore affects every Trust in the United
States, no matter where formed or
where the constituent companies got
the charters. Public officers in vari-
ous parts of the country have written
to me for copies of this decision when
it should be handed down. These

General who are writing to get cop

Among them were the governors of
West Virginia, Louisiana, Tennes-'
see and sOme Of the Northwestern
States. We shall now go ahead and
proceed against other Trusts. and
we have a case against the Have

mere fact thai an appeal should be

1t was suggested by an e eminent

The Flood in Johstown.

P%ITrsBURG, May 3l.-The food at
Johnstown has resulted In an awful catas
trophe, it is said. The reservoir above
the town broke about 5 o'clock this even
ing. and an immense volume OF water
rushed down to the city. carrying with it
death and destruction. Houses with their
occupants were swept away and many
people drowned. There is no communi-
cation with Johnstown, but the operator
on the Pennsylvania railroad at San Hol-
yoke, twelve miles this side of Johnstown,
says that at least seventy five dead bodies
have fioated past The wires are ali down

The situation at Tyrone.

TYRONE, Pa, May 3l.-The Juniata
river has overlooked its banks at this place
and flooded the entire southern portion of
the city, causing much destruction to
property. People living in the flooded
districts had to be removed from their
homes in wagon to places of safety. All
railroads centering in this place are great
ly damaged BY the floods. The water was
never known to be so high at this place.
At Curmensville one man was drowned,
and at Clear6eld two young ladies were
drowned in trying to escape from the
flooded district. The Susquehanna over
flowed its banks at Clearield and the en-
tire place is under water and all means of
escape are cut off. Many people have
gathered in the court house and opera
house as a place of safety. This evening

Opinion of a Railroad Official,

PHILADELPHIA, May 3l.-"Such
things haye never been heard Of before"
said General Manager Pugh, of the Penn
s~ylyania road, tonight, and nothing
short Oft waterspout could have caused
such damage. Willis is a little mining
town of about 300 or 400 inhabitants, For
the water to rise high enough to obstruct
the passage of a train at that point is
unprecedented. A dispatch Just received
by me says the water is rushing over the
tracks at least FIVE feet above the rock bed,
and this could be brought about by moth
ing short OF a waterspout. l have no
doubt, If our operator at Long Hollow said
he saw bodies from Johnstown floating
down the river, as reported in the Assocl-
ated Press bulletin. that it is true, as his
tower is located right on the bank OF the
river"
When General Manager Pugh was
shown a copy of the Associated Press
dispatch from PIttsburg announcing the
breaking OF the dam at Johnstown, he
said that this report confirmed a dispatch
received from Wellmore tonight, which
stated that a man had reported to the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad operator there that
the Southfork dam had been broken and
that water had carried away the coal tip
pie and telegraph tower at Southfork
station and also a portion of an east bound
freight train. The file operator who was
In the tower managed to escape, but sew
eral trainmen are reported to be drowned.
The reservoir or dam at South Fork,
which is said to have burst with terrible
results, is described by men acquainted
with the location, is situated near the
Pennsylvania canal. 1t has been owned
for several years by several Pittsburg
men, who have used it as a fishing ground.
The gentleman who gave this information
said If the report of the bursting OF the
dam was true, he had no doubt that the
damage and loss of life is fully as great as
indicated in the dispatches.

CHICAGO. NAV 3l.-Interest in the
Cronin case was partially eclipsed to day
b. the sensation created by the
ment of the return to Chicago of w. j.
McGarigle, ex-warden of the county hos
pital and general agent of Cook coun.y's
famous Doodle gang.
The history Of this case and Of McGari-
gle's sensational escape from the custody
of Sheriff Matson, and subsequent chase
into Canada, needs no repetition at this
time. Shortly before noon to day Nc.
Garig.e walked into Judge Shepard's
branch of the county court, accompanied
by States Attorney Longenecker, Attor
ney Adams, j. Lehman and james
FitZsimmons, the latter two being Nc
Garigle's bondsmen.
The court officials and police waiting to
give evidence in criminal cases, stared in
amazement at the sight of the man who
had SO long been a fugitive in Canada
The court suspended proceedings in the
case on trial, and Lawyer Adams stated
that an agreement had been made between
the states attorney and consel for the de-
PENDANT, in view of the recent decision of
the supreme court of Illinois, granting
Edward Mcdonald. ex-engineer of the
county hospital and brother of Mike
McDonand, the well known political boss,
a new trial: in view of that decision it
had been agreed that a new trial shall be
granted McGarigle, that he should enter
a plea OF guilty and pay a fine.
States Attorney LOngenecker said such
arrangement had been made, and desired
that a fine of 81 900 be imposed. He said
Mcdonald, who was co-defendant with
McGarigle, had been granted a new trial,
but that the state did not desire to try
him again. lie thought the arrangement
with McGarlgle, who escaped to Canada,
was the best that could be done. As to
Mcdonald, he had served eighteen months
in Jail and suffered more than McGarigle.
The difficulties in the way of a successful
prosecution of a new trial were insuDera-
Bile; he therefore moved that a noHe pros
equi be entered as to him.
The orders were made by the court and
while the clerk was figuring up the costs
McGarigle and his friends retired to the
judges chambers. McGarigle said he
did not wish to talk more than to say he
proposed now to remain in Chicago. Nc
Garigle was given three years in the penl
Tertiary by the verdict of the jury and a
fine of 81, 600. The verdict was set aside
by the supreme court of the state fifteen
months after he escaped from the sheriff.
There were altogether twenty-three indict-
ments against him. 1t was on one of
these, the one under which he and Nc.
Donald were tried, that he was fined; the
other twenty-five were stricken off. The
costs of the trial and those resulting from
the forfeiture of bonds amounted to about
81, 600. This amount and the fine was
paid to the clerk of the court and Nc

WASHINGTON. hlay 3l.-The state

discuss the Samoan conference or the
Behring sea %tanele. OF the former they
admit matters are in such shape as to
warrant the expectation of a conclusion Of
the conference, comparatively unimportant
details only remaining to be adjusted.
But upon the provisions of the treaty they
refuse to talk. SO far as can be learned,
there is no new phase in the Behring sea
matter. The presidents proclamation
appears to baye closed the history of the
case and it cannot be learned that there
has been any correspondence between the

Discovery of the Doctors C~Iothes.z

CHICAGO, May 3I.-Lnte to night 1t is
learned that Cronin's clothes have been
found; the first clue was obtained by the
finding of the underwear by children,
mentioned in these dispatches several days
ago. The police began a vigorous search
for the remainder of the clothing. and
near the mouth of the Fifty ninth street
sewer unearthed the murdered physicians
pants, coat, shirt and undershirt. They
were buried over a foot under ground.
The shirt bore the name of the murdered
doctor, and the other articles were readily
recognized as portions of his apparel.
Strange to say, however, the vest was
missing, and in its place was a vest of
much coarser material. This presumably
belonged to the murderers or their accom-
plices. For this reason the police are
using every effort to suppress their dis
covery. hoping Cronin's vest may be dis
covered in possession of one OF the muir
derers. The pants found were deeply
stained with blood.
