vALKYRIE NOT FAST ENOUGH.
Designer Watson Doesn't Want to Race
Against the Volunteer.

From the New York Sun. to-day
oa Wall street during the day and as The
clubs last night the reported failure Of the In
ternational yacht race, about which so much
has been said and written, was the leading
topic among yachtsmen and their friends.
Some expressed great surprise and would noe
credit the report, believing that Lord Dun
raven was waiting till after a meeting Of the
Royal yacht squadron to make his final reply
10 the Americas cup committee. Others, and
these were in the majority, are fully convinced
that Watson, the Valkyrie's designer. has sue
ceeded in persuRdfng Lord Dunraven that it
would be folly to pit his boat against the Vol
unteer, when she cannot beat the Irex. A
member OF the Americas cup committee said
yesterday:
Our letters were sent to the ROYAL Yacht
squadron and to Lord Dunraven nearly three
weeks ago. There has been plenty Of time 20
peruse them and send a reply by cable at least,
put no word has come, and l think at this late
DAY that II Is almost conclusive proof that the
race Ii of. OF course there may be some diffi-
Guilty that we cannot foresee. and that NAV
only be adjusted al a regular club meeting but
In any event we ought 20 receive an official
communication in a few days of some sort or
other, settling the matter for good For NV
part, don't think there will be any race for

ANOTHER RAIN STORM
Interferes with the Work at Johns.
town,

JoHNsTowS, Pa, June 15.-This morning
one hundred and fifty laborers were added to
the number already at work in removing the
wreckage from above the stone bridge. For
9 time work progressed very satisfactorily. A
heavy rain storm came up, however,
compelling all Of the workmen to seek
shelter. The flames in the wreckage are burn
ing furiously this morning, having gained such
Roadway that the heavy down pour of rain has
but little, If any, effect in extinguishing them.
Contractor Mcknight says that If he can keep
the fires burning at their present volume during
the day and tonight the big raft will be
entirely out OF the way by tomorrow. Dyna-
hitting was kept up throughout last night and
this morning. Some of the explosions were so
heavy that people i'll their houses on Prospect
Hill left them fearing they would fall.
The Pennsylvania Road Rebuilt.
CHICAGO, June 15.-The Pennsylvania rail-
road has been rebuilt through the late flooded
district under the direct supervision of the
officers in charge of the engineering and trans
portatiOn departments of the road.
The last rail needed to connect the several
parts of the great thoroughfare has been placed
In position. The new track has been substan-
tally built, and it will be gradually tested
until Monday, June II next when the great
trunk line will be reopened and express trains
with Pullman cars will again run through in
both directions between Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Cleveland on the west, and Bal
timore, Washington, Philadelphia and New
York on the east

CONSOLIDATING RAILROADS.
transfers Between the Metropolitan
and Columbia Lines Agreed Upon.

The practical consolidation of the Metropoli-
tan and Columbia street railroad companies
(first announced by THE starr has reached a
point where operations affecting the travelling
public may soon be expected to commence.
The business agreement between the respective
arrangements Of the two roads was formally
signed and sealed to-day. and the first day of
July is the time fixed for the consummation
On that day transfers will be given from one
road to the other at the junction of 9th street
and New York avenue People from uptown
and downtown and Georgetown will DO en-
abled to reach the base bali grounds without
being mulcted in two fares for the single Jour.
ney. Residents of Northeast Washington will
be more especially benefited. North, south
and west heretofore only to be reached by
dropping an additional nickel in the slot, or by
painful pedestrianism, will be open to them.
Although the matter has not yet been def
nitely settled, it is understood that the trans
fer station will be at the southeast corner of
9th street and expanded X street. This loca-
ton is nearer the cars than any other in the
vicinity and is on straight track.
1t was originally intended to have another
transfer at 14th and New York avenue, but the
management is now convinced that this would
open up an avenue for fraud. For instance, an
East Washington passenger could ride up to
l4th street and transfer south, going to 9th and
T streets. Then he or she could get another
transfer-north, this time-and 60 shopping or
do any other business or pleasure SO long as the
time for which the transfer is good is not used
up. That transfer would take the person to the
New York avenue station, where a ticket
east could be secured and the guilty one might
ride home exulting in the fact that the round
trip had been made Of the original fare was
ticket for 1-6 cents The tricksters who
would try that scheme, the railroad managers
say, are not few, therefore the companies es-
tablish but one station. The difference this
will make will be to those who desire to jour-
ney from northeast Washington to Georgetown.
They will have to make southwark move for
four squares instead of going right through
from 18th and New York avenue, and the same
Inconvenience of double transfers must be ex-
perienced on the return trip.

THE CHICAGO GRAND JURY.
Testimony Taken To-day in the Cronin
Murder Case.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The special grand jury
in the Cronln case begun its fourth days SEES
sion this morning, and the indications are that
several days yet will be consumed ere the jury
is prepared to make its final report. A
long array Of witnesses have been subp9naed
and the jury evinces determination to inquire
into the minutest details Of the case.
Dan Brown, the Stanton avenue officer, who
prepared the charges of treason against Cronin.
for which the latter was tried and expelled
from the Clan ma Gael, was the first wit
ness called to-day. He was subjected to a
most rigorous examination as to the details OF
the workings of the Clan-na-Gael, or United
brotherhood. and required to give his reasons
for having originally suspected Cronin OF trea-
son to the cause. The witness denied that
he had been actuated by undue malice
against Crpnin, and insisted that he had pre-
ferred his charges against the latter entirely
upon his own motion. and had been In no wise
influenced by Alex. Sullivan. Jno. w: and
Stewart l.. Moore, of the firm Of j. I. Lester
plain certain details in the matter OF Sullivan's
speculations on the board of trade. Patrick
McGary and his wife were the next witnesses.
McGary was warm personal friend
of Cronin and was one Of those to whom the
latter so frequently expressed fears of personal
the brotherhood McGary's evidence was
voluminous. but rather devoid Of special
interest. He gave the names Of the committee
before whom Cronin was tried, and by whose
verdict the doctor was expelled from the Or
and recited, 30 far as his informa-
tion permitted, the nature Of the evidence ad-
duced on that location and the part taken by
Sullivan in the prosecution. Mr.. McGary
also detailed the result of his recent visit
to Canada for the purpose of
investigating the Toronto story and ascertain
ing whether any collision existed between Re-
porter Long and W. j. Starkey. The wit
ness was unable to reveal anything new
in this matter, repeating substantially the same
story told before the coroner's jury and sew
eral times published.

From Wall Street To-day.

NEW YORK, June 10, IL a.m.-The opening of
the stock exchange this morning was quiet but
weak, and first prices showed declines from
last evenings final figures of from a to 4 per
cent. the latter in Lake Shore. The Changers
and New England were the only active shares
this morning and the remainder were quiet to
dull and without feature of importance, even
the trusts being comparatively neglected
Among the active shares, however, a strong
tone developed after slight hesitation, and
prices rose materially in the first half hour,
and Atchison and Burlington rose 4 each, New
England, st. Paul. and Northwestern q EACH
and Missouri Pacific and Lake Shore y each
There was some recession from the best figures
later in the hour, however, and New England
lost almost its entire advance. The remainder
OF the list were held, and at IL o'clock the mar
ket was quiet and steady to firm ut fractions
better than the opening prices.

LEWIS WILLIAMS SENTENCED.
To be Hanged January 81, 1890, for
killing w. &. Alder.

In the Criminal Court to-day the motion for
new. trial in the case of Lewis Williams, col
ored, convicted of the murder of W. c. Alder,
ex-policeman, near Benning, October 18th,
1887. was argued by Mr.. +. NJ Hewlett, counsel
for the prisoner. The curt, after reviewing
the testimony, overruled the motion, stating
that the jury was compelled to look on the case
as one of malicious lying in wait.
The prisoner was then called up and asked if
he had anything to say as to why sentence
should not be pronounced on him.
He replied, WELL you know all have to say
is that had no intention of killing the man,
only intended to defend myself"
Judge Bradley then imposed the sentence
of death, to take effect Friday, January 81,
1850, between the hours of 8 and II, the pris-
oner to be hanged till dead.
Mr.. Hewlett gave notice of an appeal to the
General Term.

ANOTHER ARREST.
The 1ceman's Teamster Believed to
Know About Cronin's Murder.

CHICAGO, June 15.-It was learned last night
that Thomas Tierney, a teamster employed by
O'Sullivan, the iceman, is locked up at the
station. 1t is believed by the police that Tier
ney, if not actually implicated in the Cronin
murder, knows a good deal about it.
Quite a sensation was caused this morning
by the discovery of a case of surgical instru-
ments on south Canal street, back of No. 511.
AT first the case was thought to be that Of DIR.
CrOnin.
1t was taken down to Chief Hubbard's office,
where the Conklins failed to identify it as that
OF the murdered physician. Later it was dis
covered to belong to DIR. j. C. Chambers, of 20
Madison street, whose Office was broken into
last night.

CENSUS OFFICE EMPLOYEES.
The Civil Service Commission Want APP
pointments Made from Their Lists.

The civil service commissioners to-day ad-
dressed letter to the President on the subjee
OF the appointment Of the employees in the
cansus Office through the COM
mission. The law establishing the census
ONCE provides that all examinations
for appointment and promotion under the act
shall be in the discretion and under the direc-
ton Of the Secretary Of the Interior. II Is un-
derstood that the commission do n6t sttempt Q
legal construction Of the act, but simply calls
the attention of the President TO the matter
with the view Of having all appointments made
from lists furnished by the commission.
ANOTHER CLAUSE IN THE cENsUs ACT
reads as follows: Provided that clerks trans
ferred or detailed for service under this act
from existing branches of the civil service shall
not lose their positions or rights under the act
to regulate and improve the civil service of the
United States.'
1t is inferred that the trainers Of the law did
not contemplate that the census Office would be
under the civil service law. and therefore in
serted the clause above quoted
