WAsHINGToN, Aug. 5. - Secretary
Blaine's new home on Lafayette square
Is rapidly undergoing Improvement and
will be ready for occupancy by Oct. 1.
The artist has endeavored to conform to
the original simplicity of design in the
interior arrangements Of the historic old
mansion, which was built more with the
view to comfort and space than elaborate
ornamentation and display. The addi-
tion of number Of broad windows at
the side facing the south has added
greatly to the brightness0f the rooms on
that side Of the house and gives glimpses
of the fresh green of the executive
grounds beyond.

BOSTON, Aug. 5.-The Herald's special
from Ellsworth, Me-, gives an interview
with Senator Hale on the Behring sea
question. Mr.. Hale does not see any
reason to expect trouble with Canada or
England over the Behring sea matter.
On the contrary he thinks all the gov
ernments concerned will cooperate to
protect the seal fisheries from piracy.
The question of the closed sea need not
be raised for this purpose. Mr.. Hale
disclainred any intention of speaking for
the administration.

on. Mana was also looking ON. She
was not very able to identify positively
the two men. but gave such an accurate
description Of their clothing that con-
vinced the Jury two or three months
afterward of their guilt.
Umberrerss Death Knell
ssWell, the harvest bell rang out the
death knell Of poor old Umberger.
While the bell was ringing the murderer
was doing his bloody work.
He fired at the old farmer no less
than five times. Three shots took effect,
one penetrating his head, another going
through his heart and a third his right
side. IL seems that when the assassin
began to fire the first shot did not take
effect and the old man retreated across
the dining room toward the kitchen,
through the door of which he fell when
the missiles riddled him.
The men then took the pocketbooks
from the victims bosom and sled. The
neighhors, who were about going to bed
when the harvest bell summoned them
out of their homes and across the fields
to the scene of a dastardly crime, ar
rived too late to see the murderers es-
cape with their bloody booty. The next
day, however, their tracks were found.
Tracing the Assasslns.
ssThe murderers were traced over the
Laurel Hill mountains TO Ligonier,
twelve miles away. Within week
after the murder David Nicely, aged B5.
and Joseph Nicely, aged "a, brothers
and shoemakers, were in the grasp of
the law charged with killing and rob
bing UmbergeR Their false whiskers
and other masks and the clothing they
wore when the crime was committed
were found in their home at Ligonier.
Both men bore bad reputation.
ssThey were put an trial before
Judge Baer in the Somerset court Of
over and terminer on May "a, Just after
the Conemaugh food. The prisoners
had such eminent counsel as ex-Con-
gressmen Alexander Coffroth and w.
III. Koontz.
The Heroine of the Trial.
'sThe trial, as I said. lasted nine days,
and created profound and widespread
interest, which was only eclipsed by the
flood and its painful details. The court
room was iammed every day. The chief
interest centered in the testimony of
little Mana, our principal, and as she
proved most important witness. Al
though only 10 years old, so won her
confidence that when called upon her
to tell what she saw narrated without
embarrassment and in an innocent,
childlike way every little detail that we
desired. The leading counsel on the
other side undertook to perplex her, but
failed.
mo evidence was nor could any be
produced to controvert Nana's positive
testimony. The jury was out only a
short time, and verdict of murder in
the first degree was found.
MANA is today the heroine of the Um-
berger tragedy and trial.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 5.-victoria Is
in great state Of excitement, the cause
being the arrival of the Black Diamond.
She came into port Saturday evening
and dropped anchor.
She had one American seaman ON
board. John Hakansson. lie was ap-
pointed special officer by the captain OF
the Rush and ordered to take the Dia-
mond to Sitka.
The Prize Grew RldIonlously Inadequate.
Capt. Owens, of the Diamond, told
Lieut.. Tuttle he would not sail for
Sitlxa, but would bring his vessel to Vic
toria. If they wanted the Diamond to
go to Sitka they would have TO put q
stronger crew than the schooner's
aboard.
The Rush steamed away, and Owens
sailed toward Ounalaslxa, thinking that
there were British warships in that vi
cinitySand intending to demand protec-
tion. He sailed into Ounalaska harbor
and boarded q schooner from Port
Townsend. He was told there were no
men-of-war in the vicinity. Owens told
the American seamen he would sail for
Victoria, which he did. He landed his
Indians on the east coast of Vancouver.

The Rush took the Diamonds 3 sealskins,

schooner Black Diamond instead OF go-

WOODLAND, July 30th.-The hot wave
still continues. The thermometer stood at
1lOo in the shade this afternoon.
William Gilling, who was arrested with
John Murphy for the murder of James
Ciooney at Cacheyille Sunday night, made
statement, which, if true, and it is gener-
ally believed, exonerates him from the
crime and gives positive proof to Murphy's
guilt.
He stated that he had separated the par
ties several times, aud had finally started
them home, and had got about one hun
dred feet ahead of them when they started
to hight again. He returned at once. and
found Clooney IN dying condition, with
Murphy standing near him. Murphy still
refuses to make any statement, snd declines
legal counsel.

Young Langenour has led q rather
speedy" life Tor a young man only 20
years old. About a year ago he got large
sum of money from his indulgent father
and left with transforming troupe" for
the East. where he became stranded. He
made his way to the home of some OF his
relatives in the East and there married his
own cousin of % years. he being only 10
then. His parents were highly enraged.
They finally became reconciled and sent
him about $4,000, which he "blew in" on
newspaper, and finally returned the prod
igal son.
Since his return his father placed him
and his wife on one of his ranches, where
he behaved himself very we'll until he re-
ceiyed the money for his wheat, which
proved too great temptation, and he &C.
cordingly skipped.
His reason for leaving was that he was
tired aud desired other work than farming.
1t is expected that be will return as soon as
his money gives out.

The Devil Lake Indians Claim They
Have Been Robbed of Ga 900 Acres.
WASHINGTON, July 3Oth-The Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs received a report
to-day from Special Agent Krebbs an
nouncing the refusal of the Indians on the
Devil Lake Reservation in Northern Da-
kota to receive the allotments in severalty
as contemplated in the general Allotment
Act of 1876. The matter of paying the
taxes was then the greatest objection to
taking the land in severalty.
They were told they would have no
taxes to pay on the land before the expira-
ton of twenty-five years. This was fully
explained to them, but they could not be
reconciled to paying taxes even on personal
property. Other questions were brought
up by the Indians. They allege they have
not been treated fairly by the Government
and that certain annuities were taken from
them that ought to be restored, that by an
error ia the exterior lines of the survey on
the western boundary of the reservation,
90, 900 acres of land were taken from them
for which they should receive pay. The
error in the survey of the reservation boun-
dairy lines in 1875 complained of was re-
ferred to in the annual report of the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs for 1887, and
claim for compensation for the loss of the
$4,000 acres was, in the judgment of the
Commissioner, just one. No action in
the matter, however, has yet been taken
by Congress.

CRoNIN CONSPIRACY.
Arguments Made for New Motions in
Court Yesterday

Arguments Made for New Motions in
Court Yesterday.
CHICAGO, July 30th.-Judge Horizons
Courtroom was crowded this morning
when the five alleged Cronin conspirators
were marshaled in. The Judge was to hear
arguments and decide the motions to quash
indictments in the cases of Beggs, Cough
Ian, Woodruff and Kunze, and application
for change of venue on behalf of OSulli-
van.
The change of venue motion took preced-
ence and the arguments on that were the
first heard. II want to argue this motion
to quash now while the Grand Jury is sit
ting, said Mr.. Longenecker. IF these in
dictments are bad | want TO know it."
The States Attorney objected to the ap-
plication for q change of venue for O'Sulii-
van, because neither defendants affidavit
nor petition set forth the fact that the petit
ton was supported by the affidavit of two
reputable citizens that the Judges objected
to were SO preiudiced that 0'Sullivan could
not have fair trial before them.
The States Attorney said there was not
word in the application for change of
venue to show that atlantis are reputable
citizens. He thought before any action was
taken on the motion defendants should be
arraigned and required to plead.
Mr.. O'Donohue attorney for 0'Sulliyan,
said be would submit as his argument de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the 18th
Illinois.
Mr.. Carter, on behalf of Coughlan, said
he would like to have more time to prepare
atfidavits on the motion to quash the indict-
ment.
Attorney Brown said, on behalf of Wood
ruff, that he would consent to the postpone
ment OF the arguments on the motion to
quash.
Judge Horton asked Kunso If he had
lawyer. Kunso replied: mo; l don't
want lawyer
All the attorneys finally agreed to sub.
NIT the motion to quash indictments to the
Court without argument, aud Judge Horton
said he would decide on that and also on
the motion for change of venue as soon
as possible.

NEWARK IN. ~, July 30th.-The most
disastrous storm that has visited this vicin-
ity occurred this afternoon and evening i'll

bursted. Work had to be suspended in
the factories in the lower section.
A washout occurred at South Orange

has been done to stock in numerous hat
factories.
People are compelled to paddle around
or swim In order to get to place of safety.
Bloomfield and Mount Clair also report
great damage. No lives are known to be
lost. The greatest alarm prevails around
Mlllburn. Above it is a reservoir dam
which is not regarded az safe Should it
burst it would overflow Millburn and other
small towns along Railway river, and the
damage would reach as far as Railway.
At 10 o'clock tonight the dam is reported
safe, but the inhabitants of the town are
preparing to move to high ground. Nearly
every road in the country is impossible, as
ali the bridges have been washed away.
PLAINFIELD IN. j., July 30th.-The
greatest flood ever known here came this
afternoon at o'clock. The dam at Stony
Brook, above the Green Valley Mills, gave
way carrying with it Coddington's ice
houses and many barns and seriously un-
dermining the mills.
At $40 the dam on Green Brook, in the
heart of the town, also gave way. and caused
much damage. Many wooden buildings
were carried away by o'clock. The i'm
mense dam at Westfield, back of the Scotch
Plains, collapsed, and an additional body
OF water was thrown into the valley below
Green Brook, which could not contain it,
and the water rushed across to Cedar
Brook, and thence through the finest resi-
dence portion of Plalnfeld.
The damage here is very great Two or
three square miles of thickly settled terri
tory is being submerged There were
many gallant rescues of life.
BLOOMFIELD IN. j., July 30.-The bust
ness center is wreck from the food. The
second river dam, at Fritz Mill, has given

imprisoned in houses along the river.
Rescuers are striving to save them. Men
are wading to and from the houses in the
water, shoulder-deep, with women and
children on their backs.
The factory of Seabury g. Johnson in
East Orange, is submerged. The women
and girls in it were rescued by men on
RATS.
