DR. T.B. WIDOW PLEADS
''Not Guilty" Of the Murder of Capt. F. W. Dawson.
VERY COOL ABOUT TT
A Quest1on Over the Drawing of tho Jury-The Counsel for the State nd
 tho Accused-spec ulation as to the

CHARLESTON, s. O., Juno 1s.-In the court in general sessions yesterday Judge Kershaw presiding, the grand jury returned true bill against Dr. T. B. Mo- Dow for the murder of Capt. F. w. Daw- and pleaded not guilty. Next Monday, June A, was fixed for his trial.
 McDow Is represented by ex-Judge Magrath and Asher D. Cohen; the state by Solicitor Jervey, who will probably have assistant counsel. Mellow ap- peared in court in 0 new suit of clothes, clean shaven, and, though looking lit ment in jail, was cool and collected
 The regularity of the drawing of the petit jury having been called in question, a motion was made to challenge the whole array of jurors on the ground that the requirements of the statute with ref erence to the drawing of jurors had not been strictly compiled with by the Jury Commis sioners.
 The irregularity complained of was that the jury box had not been shaken up prior to unlocking the box. The atfi- davlts to this effect were submitted, but Judge Kershaw refused the motion, hold ing that the act had been substantially compiled with. This motion was made in case of burglary and larceny, but is mentioned here because the jury as it stands will be the jury that will try Me- Dow.
 There are fourteen negroeison the panel the largest number drawn on any one jury for years. The McDow case is ex- citing great interest, and will probably continue greater part of next week.
 There are many speculations as to the result of the trial. It will probably end dn mistrial or 0 verdict of manslaughter verdict of guilty carries the penalty of hanging with 1t. It is not popular to hang white men of any standing here, so few expect that verdict.

The Father Of the Senate,

Gen. Simon Cameron Is now the seaiQr
 ex-United States senator. He has1Qhg been considered so through his greater identification with the senate than any of his contemporaries yet remaining. But
 Henry A. Foster, who died recently tp Ms 90th year, and who was appointed to the senate in 1S44 upon the resignation of Silas Wright, led Mir. Cameron in that service by about a year. Mir. Cameron is past his 9Oth year, and the current,re- ports concerning his recent illness show him on the way of recovery. He should do credit to his present position of father of the senate.-Philadelph Telegraph.

STILL FINDING BODIES,
Johnstown'S Wreck Yields Up the Re

NO NOR SIC ESS
Houses to be Hmm ediately Erected fos tho Survivors - $500 Men Now as Work and More Constantiy Coming

JoHNsTowN, June 1s.-Seventeen bod les were taken from the wreck above tn bridge yesterday.
 It is believed there are many still ye In the wreck, though it Is proba ble tha many have been burned.
 The work of clearing up is going on a rapidly as possible.
 Carpenters are in great demand and one or the contractors says he will have work enough to employ 500 men. Some masons and bricklayers are also in de. mand. Notices are posted all over the town asking for workmen at S1 50 pe] day
 There Is no increase of sickness, the Red Cross society and other hospital and charity organizations on the ground are sufhclenr for this work, and the valley is beginning to resume it's normal business tone.
 The body of Mrs. Annie Bates, oI Racine, Wis, was taken from the ruins above the bridge. Some jewelry anC draft were found upon the body but the latter was so far decomposeG that 1t was deemed best to burn it al once, which was done, and her friends notified. She was a passenger on the day express train that was swept away.
 
 100 portable houses for the survivors. The houses will be 12 by 26 feet, and each will be large enough to accommo- date six persons. They will be furnished with stove and utensils, six chairs, two beds and bedclothes, two spring mat. tresses, one pair of pillows, two pairs oi sheets for each bed, woolen blanket, q bureau, a table, and tableware. In fact family will be given everything neces- sary to go to housekeeping and told to go ahead now and paddle their own canoe. The object is to start the town on a rise from the ruins.
 If the houses gave satisfaction the committee will buy 1000 of them and build up the city. Gen. Hastings has purchased an immense quantity of lumber and will next Tuesday begin building shanty stores for those who will resume business. More than 100 have already made application. Arrangements are making for the erection of n lookup, which, Burgess Howell says, will be filled as soon as completed with persons who have been filling their houses with valu- ables from the wreclage. Many citizens who have hitherto been considered hon. est are known to haVc entered wrecked houses and carried off articles by the armful.
 An increased force Is at work in the ruins, and new men are coming in. Gen. Hastings says about $500 men are at work. The dynamite is making no. ticeable impression on tho debris above the stone bridge. The four Philadelphia fire engines have arrived, and are pump ing out ponds and foundations. They are manned by a strong force, and are doing muc Il valuable work.
