The orator of the day, Capt. John g..
Williams, of Winchester, Va, was intro

highly instructive and was received with
much favor. The exercises were then

ST. PAUL, June "a divorce case has
began in the District Court of Washing
ton county of the most sensational charac-
ter both on account of the National prom
inence of the parties, and from the shock
inc facts which surround the pro-
oeedinps, in whispers. This is no less
than a suit brought by Ex-senator D. M.
ssbin against his wife. The summons
was served personally upon Mrs. Sabin at
Flushing, Long Island, N. Y, something
over a week ago, but the complaint
has not yet been filed in court
The charge made in the complaint
is that of habitual drunkenness, an allie
,stion which in itself will be most shock
inc 10 the society of Washington and Other
cities where Mrs. Sabin hrs long been a
shining Ipnt. Mr.. and Mrs. Sabin have
no children of their own. What course Mrs.
Ssbin will pursue is not yet known, but
II is believed she will not resist the suit
She still has many warm friends, and
will be the subject of wide sympathy. The
ex-senator. also, has the sympathy of al

COLUMBUS, o. June 9.-The information
is given out on good authority, this even
ing, that Governor Foraker has concluded
to allow the use of his name for Governor,
and will be a candidate for third term.
The developments of the past few days
have led him to the belief that he should
make the sacrifice under the pressure
which is being brought. He has aban'
doned senatorial aspirations to be Cover
nor. and will not be a candidate TO sue
ceed Sherman.
At the Democratic primaries this even
ing the delegates for Allen w. Thurman
for Governor were defeated in nearly every
district and in the ward where he lived.
He was opposed on the ground that ne Is
NOT Democrat and for the stand which
he took against the tally sheet forRers IN
1885. Congressman Campbell secured a
majority of the delegates, and will un-
doubtedly be nominated for Governor.

CHICAGO June 9-Nesrly full dozen
clergy of throughout Chicago, and repre-
senting nearly that number of different
denominations, preached to-day upon the
subject Of the Johnstown horror. The
prevailing public sentiment was voiced
most strongly perhaps by the
Rev. J. /. Wi;herOw, pastor Of the Second
Presbyterian church, one of the largest
congregations in the West DR.. Witherow
declared that the calamity could not be
classed AZ an "Act of God" and
the responsibility laid on the Almigh-
ty. He said in substance that the
real burden of blame rested upon the
shoulders of the Pittsburg club, whose
thoughtless sel6shness was more concerned

That Must be Done.
PITTsBURG, June 9-Arthur Kirk, fore
man in charge of clearing away the big
ism at the P. R. R. bridge, yesterday sent
the General Relief Committee the follow
ing letter which gives an accurate descrip-
ton of the Jam and the work done:
JoHNsTowN, June 8.
Wm. McCreey, Esq, Chairman, etc
Permit me TO report to you the condi-
tion of work on jam of debris lodged
against the Pennsylvania Railroad stone
bridge, JohnstOwn. When l arrived here
at II o'clock a. m, last Monday, found
jam of large trees, smashed railroad cars,
iammed as near as l could estimate nearly
forty feet high, filling every one Of the
seven arches of the stone bridge, inter
woven with what appeared to be hundreds
of miles Of telegraph wire and tough roots
and fine wire-like willow branches, tin
roofs Of railroad cars, dead bodies, etc.
First had to extemI 0rize plan for its
removal, then to get tools to execute the
plan. Owing TO the chaotic strte of thicgs
here, the first three days of the wtek little
was done. Since then we have removed
about one-fOurth of the jam. with good
prospect of having channel 100 feet wide
cut through its whole length in ten days.
Then if the water keeps up it will be an
easy job to push in from each side.
have to-day had the jam measured and
found it to be 800 feet up stream from the
stone bridge by $50 feet wide, in the most
of what we have removed, we have found
it TO be 20 feet deep.
1t is often said: "Why do you not pour
oil over the debris and burn it?" answer
because it is utterly impossible, for the
debris that we have handled consists large
ly of growing trees wrenched from the
earth and dry household furniture and dry
building stuff, every inch of which has
now been ten days under water and is still
under water, and all the oil that could be
poured on it would not burn it under wa
ter. So far we have only found two
human bodies.
1t now looks like rain. II the Gone
maugh river only keeps up, think it
probable to have it all removed in ten
days. Yours respectfully,
ARTHUR KIRK.

MORGANTOWN, w. VA, June g. The
commencement exercises proper of the
West Virginia University were insugurated
to-day by the baccalaureate sermon of the
Rev. Waylaud HOyt, D. D., of Philadel-
phia. He took bis text from Mark, chap
ter 19 and 5Oth verse: salt is good. but if
the salt have lost his saltness wherewith
will be season it." His treatment of the
subject was original and fOrcible, and for
an hour he held his audience spell-bOund
by his matchless eloquence. He dwelt
upon the results of culture upon the whole
nature of man and of the necessity of con-
tinuous intellectual effort to retain mental
enthusiasm, or, fguratively speaking, the
salt of individual life
DR.. HOyt's style is chaste, etrong and
classical. His voice is melodiOus and Of
magnificent compass and we can truly say
that his sermon was one of the best ever
delivered here on such an occasion. He
will preach at the NJ. L. church this even
ing at 8 o'clock.

Murderer KemmIer's Lawyer Attacking
the OonstitutionalIty of the Act.

the OOnstitutionalIty of the Act.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Mr Bourke Coch-
rsne sent letter to the District Attorney
of Erie county yesterday, expressing his
readiness to cooperate with him in secur-
ing speedy hearing on the question to be
raised in the appeal of the case of William
Kemmler, who is the first man sentenced
to be put to death by the electric method.
Mr. Cochrane said TO reporter yesterday
evening:
Il am in this case only to test the con-
stitutionality of the new law. Mr.. Hatch.
Kemmler's attorney, took an appeal from
the conviction in order 10 secure stay of
execution. Now l Will try to procure a
writ of habeal corpus, probably in Cayuga
county, where Kemmler is imprisoned, on
the ground that he is unlawfully deprived
of bis liberty. The State will, of course,
rejoin that he is under sentence of death.
| will reply that the sentence is against
the law and as imposed is unconstitutional,
providing for unusual and cruel punish
ment. Then the question of uDcOnstitu-
tionality will come up. am willing in
order TO expedite matters to have the SEN
fenced confirmed pro fOrma up to the Court
of Appeals, and if the District Attorney
agrees with me we can argue the question
in the general term of cout. have moth
ing to do with the pointI raised at the
trial. Mr.. Hatch may or may not raise
them again."
Mr.. COchrsne denied that he had beer
retsined by the Westinghouse Company,
which objects to the proposed use of it's dy
namos ia putting murderers to death. Il
the questions raised by Mr.. Cochrsne srs
not brought before the Court Of Appeals al
once they will have to 20 before Judge Of
the Supreme COdrt at the general term al
the Court of Appeals. That would delay
the execution of Kemmler's sentence q
long time. 1t will be at lea3t two months
before decision can be obtained, anyhow
Even If the law is decided unconstitutiOn
al Kemmler may not escape death. A
new sentence under the old law might be
then imposed.

selection of one from over fifty captains who
have applied for the place. The contest, it is
believed. has narrowed down to Capts. TAYLOR
Dougherty, and Bourke, with chances some
what in favor of the last-named officer.
In the feeling of satisfaction over Gen. Kel-
toms promotion there is no element more
highly pleased than the corps of newspaper
men who have had business at various times
with the adjutant-generals Office. They found
Gen. kelton to be courteous, always ready to
receive them. straightforward in his replies to
their questions, and honest to the backbone in
his treatment of them, without partiality to
any, and giving equal favor to all.
