Will be banded over to the State. The
chiefs of all departments are now making
out reports, which will he given to the
commission appointed by the State. The
work Of relief will likely be continued by
the State on the same plan as heretofore.
We are obtaining some sort of system, and
have tinall brought some kind of order out
of chaos. The work of relief will have ia
continue until the people can take hold
for themselves. When the Cambria Iron
Works and the other mills resume, the
people will be able 70 earn money.
The great aim Just at present is to give
the survivors work. The State is to open
commissary department, where goods
viii be sold until the merchants will be
able to sgain get on their feet. The line
OF charity will gradually shade in.O that
ability of taking care of themselves.
Until that time has come the people will
have to be taken care Of.
we are building storehouses along the
b. q o X r where the supplies will be
stored until 1t is necessary to use them
1t has been customary to distribute sup
plies to them almost directly from the
cars. This has caused confusion The
evil will soon be remedied. Supplies are
still IN demand"

CHARLESTON, June 10.-Joe Smith,
aged about forty years, son of Elder Jona-
than Smith, Of ROane county, and who re-
sided near Walton, was shot and instantly
killed by Sam Cronpecker, alias Cum
mings, last Thursday evening. 1t appears
that Smiths wife died some time since,
and left six small children, and out of
sympathy Mrs. Cummings and her hus-
band took mp their residence at the Smith
homestead. All went well until last
Monday, when Mrs. Cummings had row
with her husband and drove him away
which resulted in his return Thursday,
and upon seeing Smith and his wife to-
gether in the yard, with double-barrelled
shotgun he fired, filling Smiths body with
lead, from which he died in a few min
utes. Cummings was arrested and con-
fessed the killing. He said that his wife.
bad been unfaithful to him, and that
Smith vas the destroyer of his happiness.

The Maggie Thompson Mystery Is Cleared
Away-Murderer COnfesses.
CLEVELAND o., June 8.-FOr over a
month Cleveland has been excited over the
disappearance of little girl named Mag
gle Thompson. She was not quite nine
years old was bright aud attractive, and
wealthy people who lived in the neighbOr-
hood of her parents home made mp re-
ward for her recovery. Everything posi-
BILE was done by the police and newspapers
TO restore her to her family. As telegraph
ed last night her mutilated remains we're
found under the house of Henry Lueth,
German cabinetmaker on Merchant aven-
ne. Lueth lived less than 300 feet from
the Thompson family. He and his wife
and sou were placed under arrest at 8
o'clock this morning.
Harrassed and confused by the sharp
questions of the officers, who slowly but
sutely were entapgling him in net OF
his own contradictions, young Otto Luetb,
the son. finally broke down and confessed
that he had committed the horrible crime.
He said that on the day of the murder
Maggie Thompson passed his house at
about noon on her way home from school,
aud asked him for button-string He
enticed the little girl into the house and
nc stairs. He placed her on bed and
killed her with a bammer-hatchet.
He left the body on the bed until
the following Wednesday, when he carried
to the cellar, where it was found. When
asked what motive he had for the murder,
he said that he had had couple Of drinks
of liquor and must have been crazy. In
answer to questions, he finally admitted
that he had attempted to outrage the girl
but was unsuccessful.
Otto Lueth, the self-confessed murderer
of Maggie Thompson, says thati he is l6
years OF age, bat he looks older. He is
tall and slender, with dark eyes and brown
hair. His lead is peculiarly shaped and
his forehead is very low. At the time OF
the murder Lueth, the father, was out Of
the city at work and the mother was in
hospital.

Conference Between Gov. Beaver and
Mayor Filter at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1O.-At the con-
ference between Governor Beaver and
Msvor Filter, at the latter's Office, on
Saturday afternoon, the question Of plac-
ing Johnstown and vicinity in a good san
itsrv condition was thoroughly discussed.
The Governor cOntended that the Cone
msuph river and Stony creek should be
thoroughly cleaned and the debris re-
moved from the now famous railroad bridge.
The Mayor suggested that an extra session
Of the legislature be called for the purpose
making an appropriation of $1,000 ,OOO
for the prosecution of this work. he
claimed that the money subscribed by the
neople of this city and other places was
snbseribed for a specific purpOse-tnat ol
feading and clothing the sufferers, and that
- Was the duty of the State to place the
towns in good sanitary condition. Gov
Reaver coiucided in these views, but
tbonrbt it was an unnecessary waste ol
money to call an extra session Of the Leg
;sIatnre. AZ it would cost at least a quarter
of a million dollars to do so, and suggested
that some plan be adopted whereby the
state Treasurer could use the amount re,
oDired and be guaranteed by citizens o.
fbe state in the event Of the next Legisla'
tsTe falling to make an appropriation o.
money expended in the work:

AN INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE.

Strange Rumors in Circulation Regarding
the Attitude OF the United States Toward
Canada.
OTTAWA, June 10.-The Behring Sea
question promises to prove more difficult
Of solution than all the other international
disputes at present existing between her
Britannia Majesty and the United States.
Strange reports and rumors regarding
the attitude of the American Government
have reached Ottawa.
American gunbOats and men-of-war
laden with shot and shell are to maintain
the exclusive sovereignty of Uncle Sam in
the waters of the far North. At the same
time dispatches are flashed from Vancouver
that Canadian vessels, emboldened by the
success of lsst years hazardous voyages,
are again getting ready for Behring Sea
The crews for the most part are composed
of men who, if the chances we're favorable
woald not scruple TO offer armed resistance
to an American revenue cutter.
Oflate years many Nova Scotia captains
carried away by reports from the Pacific,
have piloted their ships around Cape Horn,
With the single purpose of amsssing for
tunes in the seal industry. This new
element. though selfish at home, Is not
calculated to brook interference from the
American authorities, especially when
three or four successful expeditions make
a-------- 60 s---ey - r--
Il is surprising how little interest the
average Canadian takes in the Behring
Sea dispute.
Great Britain, however, exhibits alarm
at the possibility of seeing her merchant
men shat ont Of region so extensive and
has already addressed to the United States
some pretty strong language on the sub
iect. The ordinary Canadian does not
worry over the talk of indignities heaped
upon British subjects in Alaska. He
knows little about the value of the seal
industry, and feels confident that diplO-
macy will give Canada big indemnity
before the end of the century.
Not so with the Atlantic fisheries. Ca
madam sentiment in regard to that ques
ton is unanimous. There must be no
backdOwh, even though it should prove
losing game. The leading men OF both |
parties in Canada are, of course, very snx-
ious to be on terms of friendly intercourse
with the United States. Many of them
have devot d q great deal of attention to
the disputes pending between the two
countries. A prom iuent Cabinet Minister
gave me his views on the Behring Sea
question, but for good reasons desii ed |
TO have his name withheld. He laughed |
at the idea of possibility of a collision be-
tween American and British clads. There
will. he feels certain, be concessions on
both sides. No efforts are to be made by
the Dominion Government to deter Cana
dams from engaging in sealing operations
this summer. Such a course, besides
creating distrust would be inconsistent
with National dignity and National pre-
tensions. Ny political friends added that
our sesmen can expect no assistance from
the British in event of capture. The un-
fortunate adventurers who may encounter
an American cruiser will have to seek a
remedy through diplomatic agencies.

FAIRMoNT, w. VA, June 1O.-The an.
nual address before the literary societies OF
the Normal school was delivered tonight
by Judge Campbell, of Wheeling He
spoke at length of the profession of teach
ing in its broader and higher sense, in its
relation to the home, society, religion
and the State. Co-education WAS
touched upon and it was urged
upon his hearers that the curriculum
which aimed not at the social and moral
advancement of men and women, but re-
garded merely intellectual proficiency was
not the best The address was very finely
worded and was full of sound advice, happy
contrasts and brilliant passages Manhood
Is as the history of our country; woman
hood Its poem. While IDgersol was striv-
ing against the Christian religion a thou
sand Christian women were administering
to the wants Of suffering humanity
cheering the distressed and open
ing TO the young and helpless
victims Of misfortune the doors of hun-
dreds of happy, hOspitable christian
houses. What our country needs is more
real mothers teaching our children to be
better, helping us 10 higher conception
of life and immortality and elevating hu-
man kind. The address was listened TO
throughout with rspt attention, and at
the close the eloquent gentleman received
round of hearty applause.
Many visitors are already here and the
number is hourly increasing.

versitY.
Special Telegram to the Register.
MoRGANTowN, W. VA, June 1O.-The
address before the literary societies of the
University tonight was delivered by Hon.
John Prentiss Dolliver, of Fort Dodge,
Iowa. Mr.. Dolliver was born and raised
here and is the only alumnus of the Uni
versity who has the distinction OF
becoming a member of Congress. This was
his firstap pearance here since his graduation
in 1875. He began with a reference
TO his connection with the University.
Then. speaking of his native State, observed
that her vet untrsmmeled virtus inspired
his theme After paying g. "lng tribute
TO what il excelled in American lnstltu'
tions and to the glories of the country,
he proceeded to point out the dangers
that threaten our Republic. The perlls
Of licentiousness, anarchy and the labor
problem we're briefly touched upon. The
remedy for these evils, ne clearly demon
!
strated. is not to be found in intellectual
culture or patriotism. With true eloquence
and artistic sense, he introduced the
pathetic scene in the opening chapters Of
Les Miserables, where the good bishop
with divine instinct shelters the convicted
thief as a brother, and closed with the
hone that every American heart will
eventually be so penetrated with
Christian spirit as to be able to
follow the example of Victor HugO's heroic
preacher. He srgued that only in the
daily practice of men whose lives con.
formed to Christian standards OF conduct
could be found the only trus gospel Oh
which to found a nature
After the lecture, when a splendid ban
ouet was enjoyed, there were 400 guests
and the halls Of the old building were
never so well filled with beautiful womer
and gallant men.
