,sPEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,


JoHNsTo wN, July 22.-This was an easy
day for Judge Cummin and the bankers and
they all closed up about 3 o'clock. The
district they pay tomorrow will be larger
one and there will be more work to do.
General Beaver and his staff did not pass
through here on their way to Uniontown, as
expected, but took the other route.
There are a great many deaths In the
valley, but there does not seem to be serious
epidemic of any kind. However, there isno
doubt that they are largely the result of the
severe mental and physical suffering the
people have lately endured.
Captain Kuhn, who has charge, to day
inaugurated a new system, and the relief
furnished in the way of clothing and house
hold supplies will hereafter be distributed
through the Red Cross Society. All ap-
plications will be referred to a committee
of ladies, who now meet daily, and they de-
eide as to the worthiness of the applicant
Cor relief. An order is there given for the
goods stipulated and it is taken to the Red
Cross headquarters, where it is Immediately
filled, so far as they have the articles
wanted: The goods are then loaded on a
wagon and taken to the commissary, where
the balance of the order is filled, and it is
1t was found that the Red Cross people had
the matter so we'll systematized that the re-
lief committee were glad to avail them
selves of the offer of their help in this
manner All the commissaries but one were
shut down to-day, and as soon as the stock
of provisions on hand is reduced some
what, the balance will be sold and after
ward orders will be given to the very
needy, only on the stores where they will
have TO go for their supplies. The number
subsisting now from the commissaries is
1921, but it will be largely reduced within
the next few days.
An unknown man was killed by the cars
at Sheridan station this evening. He had
on working clothes and coal miners lamp
and had the initials 'B. j." on his right
arm and a small anchor on the left arm, i'm
printed with ink.
The Board OF Inquiry have great deal of
work yet to do in revising their lists for
each district, and they work until very late
at night.
The stencil where the workmen are clean
ing out the cellars is almost too much for
them.
General Wiley and Major Greenland
spent yesterday at Captain HamIlton's
headquarters here. They went to- Bedford
to-day, where they will be in attendance at
the inspection of the Fifth Regiment there.
The headquarters are much more convent
emily arranged than formerly and are close
to the station. When the BOYS finished
getting the tents in shape to-day they put
up a large sign bearing the Inscription,
Camp Hamilton"

force to q men, or one for each /, 400 of pop
ulation.

MERCY FROM HARRISON.
Justice to be Done Cherokee Jack-The
Visit to Mr.. Blaine.


DEER PARK, Md, July 2-The President
has refused to further commute the sentence
Of Jack Spaniard, otherwise known as "Chero-
kee Jack" !" who has been sentenced to hang for
murder at Fort Smith, Ark, August 8. re-
spite was granted some time ago in order that
the President might have an opportunity to
fully examine the papers in the case. The con-
clusion was reached this afternoon that sufh-
cient grounds did not exist for Executive Glenn
ency. and the Attorney General was SO noti-
fed.
The remainder of the Presidents time to-day
was taken up with correspondence which had
begun to increase. The Presidents routine is
to busy himself till the middle of the afternoon
with Official business, then to stroll through the
woods OF drive till dinner with family, and then
to take another turn at business in the even
ing.
Definite arrangements for his trip to Bar
Harbor, where he will be the guest of Secretary
Blaine are not yet concluded. His present in
tention is to start early in August, about the
5th. but lnasmuch as the Maine coast is likely
TO be wrapped in fog until the middle of the
month. he may conclude to defer the trip until
the latter part of the month, when the weather
is usually much more pleasant

State Fair Troubles.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
WASHINGTON. PA, July 22.-John
Mcdowell, President of the State Fair As
sociation. was seen this morning regarding
the attachment of their buildings by the
Reading Company. He could give no fur
ther particulars than that the Reading has
issued on the mortgage. Mr.. Mcdowell
states that in a recent conversation with the
solicitor in regard to the prosecution of its
claim that in any event it would be favora-
bic toward having the society hold its fair.
The difficulty with the association was
caused by the storm In May last, which tore
down Floral Hall and unroofed the main
building, causing loss of $4,000. The
society will continue to make arrangements
for the exhibition, unless stopped by credi-
tors.

on the Pittsburg extension between Akron
and Carey, spent Sunday in this city, hav-
ing driven over the line with Mr.. Sample,
