Clayton Received a despatch to-day from
his brother, Hon. Powell Clayton, iu
regard to the death Of John NJ. Clayton,
the brother who was shot dead in his
room at Plummerville, Ark, by cow
artlly assassin, Tuesday night.
Judge Clayton says that his brother
Powell was 400 miles from the scene Of
the tragedy at the time, but went Mt
once to Piummerville on hearing of the
shooting. Gle telegraphed me-" said
the judge, THAT John and two or three
friends had gone to Plummerville to
further prosecute the election frauds,
They had secured some damaging evil
deuce and We're in consultation In room
my brother had engaged, when the muir
der was committed.
"Knowing, as | do" continued the
the Judge, 1.-THE disposition of my
brother Powell, l am in constant fear
lest hear Of u double tragedy. a That
man has travelled about Arkansas for
years with his life in his hands, and l
dread the result should he meet those in
sympathy with the crime. My brother
John was man of nature different
from either Powell or myself. He had
his feelings so completely under control
that no one ever saw him angry. He
was generous and open-hearted, and
the man was villain, indeed, who
could do such deed"

The first break in the dam occurred
in July, 1869, and was caused by de-
feet in the culvert through which two
feet discharge pipes were carried for let

reservoir.
After reviewing the history Of the old
dam at length, and describing It's forma-
ton 1t says: In May, 1875, the property
consisting OF somewhat over 500 acres,
was sold to Congressman John REILLY.
The lake itself was 400 acres in size, not
700 as has been reported. After holding
the property unused until 1870, NIr.
REILLY offered 1t to the late Col.
i. +. Ruff, an old and successful railroad
and tunnel contractor, and the originator
Of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting
Club for the sum Of $1,000. Col. Ruff

MORE SUSPECTS ARRESTGp.
Men Who are Supposed TO Know Rll About
the CrOnin Murder,

Men Who are Supposed 10 Know nil About
the Cronin Murder,
CHICAGO, June ll,-Another police
man has been arrested by the police on
suspicion ofknowing something Of the
Cronin murder,
The man lives on the South Side, and
Is an ex'employe OF McGinnis, the leo
dealer, with whom he enjoyed n good
position. His wife, as the result OF q
quarrel, reported very important inior-
nation to the police, and detectives
were soon securing all the divisions Of
the city for the man. The arrest was
ordered to be carried out with the
greatest secrecy. The police say that
the arrest OF this man is almost rs im-
portant as that OF Sullivan, the other
iCeman, now under Indictment although
they say they expect to make nothing
more OF the new suspect than witness.
At 1880 last night a man was locked
up in the East Chicago avenue station
whose name was said to be King, He Is
wanted in the Cronin case, but in what
connection could not be asCertained.
Chief Hubbard denied that King was
the name Of the ice man whose arrest
was ordered. He said the leo man was
an Irishman, but his name had slipped
his mind. By some 1t is said King is
Woodrul's famous companion, and that
his identity is well established,
A startling bit OF information, which,
ii is claimed, proves Gonclusively thatP.
o. Sullivan, the Lakeyiew ice dealer,
was an active member OF the murderous
conspiracy, has leaked out. 1t seems
that Sullivan not only allowed the men
who rented the Carlson cottage to use his
name us their employer, but that he
vouChed for them to old Mrs. Carlson
and her husband. According to the tes-
timony OF the Carlsons, too, Sullvanhad
frequent communication with the oCcu-
pants Of the cottage, and was on the
friendliest terms with the men from the
time they moved in until they disap-
peared. 1t is claimed, also, that tho
police have positive proof that Sullivan
not only bought tho paint with which
the blood stains on the parlor floor were
oblterated, butthat he used some Of the
mixture to paint the hall Of his own

The officer, with comade, hurrielly
left the City Hall, and jumping into a
carriage, drove straight to the residence
OF Mr.. Sullivan, on Oak street.
Mr.. Sullivan had gone to bed a short
time previous, but after the object Of
the officers was explained and
the Information was given that
he would not be permitted any
time for any purpose, he promptly an
quietly dressed and unhesitatingly &C
Companied his visitors, The prisoners s
demeanor was calm throughout the en-
tire proceeding, Entering the carriage
which had brought the officers, the trio
were driven to the Office of the county

After the usual preliminaries Mr.. Sui
livan was taken through the cage into
the gloomy prison itself. The eX-Prcsi-
dent Of the Irish National League of
America was then Immediately inCar-

as "AIurderers row."

New MARTINsyILLE, W, Va, June H.
Upon the reassembling Of the court
this morning Capt, Bowers resumed his
argument for the defense, The large
number Of authorities cited and the
large amount OF evidence to be reviewed
made q long argument necessary, and
the entire morning was consumed by the
Captain, and when the hour oil adjourn'
ment came the argument was not con-
Cluded. After noon the Captain closed
his speech in an earnest appeal TO the
Jury, and Capt. Robert MCEldowney
continued the argument for the Defense
In opening he alluded to the fact that
the jurymen in being impanneled had
sworn that, although they had read the
newspaper reports, they could give the
defendants a fair and impartial trial,
"And | believe" continued the Captain,
"Lhat you can and will, The man who
has read the reports that have been
made aa article OF merchandise by the
newspaper that has been houndingthese

by corrupt newspaper"
The Captains speech was one OF his
best efforts, and received the closest at.
tention from u crowded courtroom. The
Jury were then allowed u brief recess,
after which Captain Doyeuey began the
closing argument for the defense, and
spoke with great power until the hour

argument. 1t is probable that q large

Rejoicing Along the Canadian Border Over
the Capture Of UlrlG DulnC.

the Capture Of Ulrlc DulnC.
LEWISTON, NTE., June 1l.-There Is
great rejoicing in the villages on the
NIaine-C Canada border overthe capture Of
Uric Dulac, the outlaw chief.
DulaC has for years been the leader Of
gang of desperadoes infesting the Up
per Moose River Valley, aud carrying on
their operations on both sides Of the
line. They have lived by poaChing,
smuggling, selling rum and stealing.
A little over u year ago Maine officer
attempted 10 arrest Donald Morrison,
one OF the boldest OF the gang. Nlorri.
son shot him dead, and iortwo years dc.
fed arrest He appeared in the village
as usual, but no man dared 10 lay hands
on him. Finally, about two months ago,
an armed posse drove him into the cave
in the mountains and starved him out.
Last summer two OF the same gang
wreaked their vengeance on Boston
man who owns sporting reserve in
this region. He had complained against
the poachers. AS this gentleman was
padding down the stream in his canoe,
a rifle shot came from the bushes on the
bank, and his wife fell dead in the bot
tom OF the boat.
The last outrages committed by Dulac
and his associates were 80 aendish that
they stirred up the Canadian Govern
ment to determined campaign against
the gang. The outlaws raided the Cana.
dian settlement OF st. Francis, stealing
provisions and weapons, setting fire to
barns and houses, killing one old man,
assaulting women and completely ter.
rorizing the inhabitants. The authori.
ties sent for a number Of Plnkerton men
to help them, and the result has been
the arrest OF the leader, Dulac. Other
arrests are expected soon.
