Found Guilty by Court-Martial and Dis
missed in Disgrace.
WASHINGTON, June 15th-The case of
Ensign George f. Ormsby, which was
finally disposed of to-day by his dismissal
from the naval service, is the first occur
ring in number of years which has had
that result. Ormsby was regarded in the
service as "sea lawyer" and had greatly
vexed the Department by his erratic con-
duct. The formal charges upon which he
was tried by Court-martial were dlsobe-
dience of orders and disrepect towards the
Secretary and Acting Secretary of the
Navy. 1t appears from the record that
when he was ordered from Richfeld
Springs, and later from Cincinnati, to join
the Monongahela. then under orders to
proceed to Samoa, he pleaded illness, and
| when the Department refused to accept
| this excuse he disregarded his orders and
proceeded South, and asked to have his
resignation accepted.
In some of his letters, addressed to the
Secretary of the Navy, he complains that
he was being humiliated, contrary to the
revised statutes, and requests the Secretary
either to leave the decision of his case to
the civil Courts, where he had begun an
action looking to the revocation of his
orders, or to Court-martial. Subsequently
he was found at Los Angeles, Cal, and
placed under arrest and conveyed to Mare
Island. where he was tried by Court. rt.mar-
tial. In one of his letters Ormsby says
that Commodore Harmony, the acting Sec
retary, has made untrue and scandalous
statements about his case which were con-
| trived to serve as false evidence before the
Medical Board. This failing of its pur-
pose, the Ensign next attacked Secretary
| Whitney directly, charging him with neg,
lect or omission 10 carry out the laws and
regulations. and with stopping him from
prosecuting his lawsuit to just conclusions
by ordering him away from the country
OF all the charges and specifications the
Court found him guilty, and, upon
the Secretarys approval of the sentence
the President to-day formally dismissed
Ensis sn Ormsby from the naval service.

SAD STORY.

\ Husbands Honor indicated by Dead
Woman's Letters.
New ORLEANS, June 15th.-Mrs. Henry
Favrot, not yet 20 years of age, was found
dead in bed yesterday morning Letters
that she left show that she deliberately re-
solved to kill herself, as a partial atone
ment for having falsely blackened the rep
utation of her husband, and with the hope
of vindicating his good name. Mrs. Fav-
rot was formerly Miss Lille Dubroca
She was favorite at home and in the
social circles she frequented. No suspicion
against her reputation had ever been
breathed against her, until few months
ago, when it was discovered that she was
in a delicate condition. Pressed by her
parents, Miss Dubroca said that Henry
Favrot, her cousin, a gentleman who was
known to have been assiduOus in his at
tentions toward her, and she had been
secretly married.
Favrot, who had but recently been ad-
mitted TO the Bar, expressed the utmost in
dignation and surprise when confronted
with the young lady. He denied emphati-
cally having been anything except friend
She persisted, however, and to save the
honor of her family, he consented to
marry her, but he did not live with her.
The story is told in two letters that were
iOunQ on table near the bed. one was
open. 1t was written with a red pencil
and was addressed To the public" 1t
was in Mrs. Favrot's handwriting, and
read as follows: The public is anxious
to hear my last words. Perhaps there are
not many things to say, except to relieve
anxiety, suppose. make this statement,
the truth of which is unquestionabe, but
there are many who do not know it was q
fact. / assert that the man bearing the
name of my husband is not guilty of that
of which he is accused. His character in
this case has been blackened for my own
selfish motives, and they must be known
while it is yet in my power TO make them.
l have nothing more to leave behind me
but this proof of my husband innocence"
The other letter was inclosed in an en-
velope addressed to her father. A. V. Du-
broca, Port Allen, West Baton Rouge, and
was worded as follows: H. f. is not the
father of the child. L. F."

SEATTLE, June I5th.-Company II, with
thirty-four men, under command of Cap

yesterday and Immediately went into ac-
tive duty. This company will, in meas
ure, relieve the other companies of the
First Regiment, who have been on duty
since the fire.
A sentry on duty back of the Safe De-
posit vaults fired at a prowler at 1870
O'Clock this morning. The marauder evil
den.ly escaped without injury, as no trace
of him could be found.
1t is reported tonight that an organized
gang has determined to rob the Safe De-
posit building, which contains over mill
ion dollars in valuables. The plan was to
steal up, kill the sentry, and then enter the
vault and rob it. The Safe Deposit build
ing was partially demolished by fire.
About 4 600 men are at work in the burnt
district. Already traces of fire are begin
ming TO disappear.

The German Correspondent of the
Times" Says He Was.
LONDON, June l5th.-There can be no
doubt, saws the Berlin correspondent of the
Times this morning, that the Americans
have emerged from the Samoan Conference
with flying colors and that Germany has
had TO content herself with prospect OF
much less political predominenCe on the
islands, then she claimed at Washington
two years ago. This result it would appear
was much more due TO the firm and mex
orable attitude of Blaine than TO any polit-
ical leanings of England toward the power
which it is her highest aim to concihate.
That is very interesting testim ony, more
so as it comes from a correspondent whose
relations with the German Foreign Office
is said to be close. Loves impressions are
undoubtedly derived from German not
American sources. What he says ex-
presses the views prevailing il German
official circles.
What is known of the agreement con-
firms these views, and what is said by other
Berlin correspondents is in harmony with
it. They all affirm that MalietOa is to be
reinstated King of Samoa.

New YORK, June 15th.-An Ottawa
special states that advices from British
Columbia say that much excitement has
been occasioned over the presence of
Russian man. .of-war, whose officers have
been studying the defensive points OF the
province, taking notes and observations of
coaling centers and Notifications. They
visited Victoria and Esquimault, and with
out regard to international courtesy, go on
with the work. They are under surveil-
lance of parties detailed for the work but
it is impossible to hinder them from gain
ing the information they are evidently
seeking. 1t is understood the matter has
been reported to the Government here.
From what can be learned they are taking
notes of the various points which could be
made available for defensive purposes in
the event of war between England and
Russia. The report which arrived to-day
says it is one of the most barefaced at
tempts on the part of nation to spy on
the defenses of another power ever re-
corded.

children to get bread to keep them from
starving. All of their furniture and more
substantial belongings have been disposed
of weeks ago. The miners have been out
since May 1st and have been refused all
sorts of offers to arbitrate and settle their
differences with the operators. For the
past five years the maximum wages re-

JoHNsToWN, June 15th.-Maior Phillips
dvnamiters have had Johnstown in state
of nervous terror all day. General Mana
ger Fulton of the Cambria Iron Company
dictated forcible protest to Governor
Beaver, stating that the mills and Offices of
the company were being ruined by the
blasts, and that Adjutant- General Hastings
had paid no attention to two requests for
its discontinUance, and that the State
would be held responsible for any further
damage.
Before the message was sent, however,
Adjutant General Hastings had issued an
order to Major Phillips to discontinue the
blasting.
Major Phillips has been engaged since
Wednesday in
BURNING OUT THE wRECKAGE
In the channel of the Conemaugh above
the Pennsylvania Railroad stone bridge
He was anxious to have passage for the
water by this evening, and to that end put
in 500-pound blast of dynamite at noon.
The blast was placed under two buildings,
one of which was lying upon the other and
both of them covered with logs.
The explosion was terrific. The next
blast, not being placed SO deep, was of four
hundred pounds. This one did all the
damage. The report was awful, and the
strongest houses in the city trembled like
leaves. Ali the glass was blown out of the
windows of Odd Fellows Hall In the
same neighborhood the rear wall of a hall
was wrecked. The Catholic Church fell
upon the Baltimore and Ohio tracks, block
ing them.
CHIMNEYs Ratified DOWN
All about, and dishes were broken in
houses in Kernville, half mile away.
When asked about the matter, Major
Phillips said: I'VE have used only two
thousand pounds of dynamite to-day. The
charges will not be as heavy hereafter l
had no idea we were doing any damage.
So far as | know no persons were injured" J"
AdjutantGcneral Hastings to-day re-
ceived a letter from VIce-President Morton
saying that on his return to his country
residence he found that his little girls from
s to IA years of age had been hard at work
since the terrible disaster at Johnstown in
making articles of clothing for the poor
homeless children who have survived the
flood and that he forwards to-day 127
articles of wearing apparel made by their
own hands, or purchased with their own
money, with some of their dresses, and
that his children will feel greatly obliged
if you will cause the clothing to be dis
tributed among the little sufferers by the
recent calamity, for whom they have the
greatest sympathy.

WASHINGTON, June 15th.-The subscrip-
tions here for the Johnstown sufferers to-
night aggregate $50 900 cash and $4,000 in
provisions and clothing, nearly all of

mittee his check for $500 in payment of his
subscription made the day after the flood.
1t was telegraphed to Governor Beaver,
who was AUTHORIZED to draw at once, but as

therefore authorizes the local committee TO
forward it.
A Johnstown manufacturer temporarily
residing here to-day authorized the auction

other element of the community possibly

protest their honesty and the League has
no need to protest its horror of the mur-

couple the name of the Irish National

There is therefore no necessity for protest

the duty of the officers of the law to find

CHICAGO, June 15th.-The Special Grand
Jury in the Cronin case began its fourth
days session this morning. Indications
are that several days will be consumed ere
the jury is prepared 10 make final report.
Miss Annie Murphy reiterated to the

DR.. Cronin on the street-car, apparently
bound for the depot, at the time, when as
subsequent events indicate, he was cold in
death.
Miss Murphy still insists that the man
she saw was Cronin, or his ghost, and ad-
heres emphatically to all the details of her
original story.
Thomas G. Windes, the law partner of
Alexander Sullivan, was called, and ques-
toned infinitely regarding Sullivan's spec
ulations. Witness knew but little regard
ing Sullivan's private affairs, and it is
stated he was unable to give the Jury any
valuable information.
Thomas Tiernan, who was arrested last
night, was released from custody this even

Lena David Receives a Mortal wound
No Explanation of the Affair.
SAN Francisco, June 15th.-Oficers Lean
and Handley were standing on the corner
of Stockton and Market streets this after
noon, shortly before o'clock, when they
heard the report of pistol. They hurried
in the direction from which the sound
came and found a woman in room ., OF
Stockton street. She was lying on the floor
and blood was streaming from wound IN
her breast.
The only words she spoke were: Elk
that man."
The officers took her to the Receiving
Hospital, where it was found that she had
been shot through the left breast, the ball
passing out through her back. The door
of the room was found locked on the in
side, but the window was open, indicating
the assassin's mode of escape.
1t has not been ascertained positively, as
vet, whether the wound will prove fatal,
but from its location the worst results are
feared.
The woman's name was ascertained to be
Lena David, but that of the shooter has not
vet been ascertained. She stated that her
assailant had visited her several times pre-
viously at her room, but she did not know
his name. She claims the shooting was
done because she refused to receive his at
tentions. The police authorities dlsbelieve
her story and believe she attempted suicide,
as many circumstances bear out this theory.
