ANOTHER KANSAS TRAGEDY.

Particulars of the Wife Murder and Suicide
on the Hornamann Farm-Result of q
Family Quarrel.
PITTSBURGH Kan, June S-The Horua-
mann farm, six miles northeast of this
city, where the horrible wife murder and
SUICIDE occurred early Wednesday morn.
inh, consists of 240 acres under q high
state of cultivation, the grain fields Gear
of weeds, the fences in good repair, the
large orchards in a healthy condition, and
all the other surroundings those of q
frugal farmer. The house, which sits back
from a main Travelled road some nine OF
ten rods, faces the west. 1t is a six room,
story and half, nearly new building.
neatly painted, but without blinds, and
with no lawn or garden.
Some fifty curious neighbors gathered
on the first alarm and were wandering
about in a sort of dazed condition, relat-
ing in an undertone their many expert
ences with the man who for seventeen
years had industriously labored in their
midst and was then hanging q CHASTITY
corpse in the barn few yards away.
The front room. with the exception Of a
cheap bed, a small heating stove and q
child's crib was destitute Of furniture.
On the bed lay the body of the muir
dered wife and mother, dressed only in
night clothes. The right arm lay on the
outside of the bedclothing, the head
turned slightly to the left showing the
white throat encircled by a lived streak,
which appeared at first glance to be the
mark Of knife, but was where the half
inch rope drawn by the demons strength
had cut into the flesh. Back of and in
volving the lower half of the left ear was
bruise about three inches long made by
blow Of some semi-hard instrument
The back also showed bruises which might
have been the result of kicks.
Beside the bed in the little crib was
sleeping the one.year- baby girl, and
in the adjoining room slept the seven and
three.year-old boys, and above the
kitchen slept the eleven-year. Emma
and her two sisters, aged nine and five.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict Of
murder and suicide for causes unknown.
III, generally accepted theory is that
after retiring the couple became involved
in a quarrel over some trivial matter and
that in the heat Of passion the husband
struck his wife the blow on the head
harder than he intended, and fearing ex.
posture and punishment decided to COM
plete the crime and then hang himself

SADLY SEARCHING.

Clearing Away the Ruins With the Aid OF
Dynamite-Latest Estimate of the Loss
of Life.
YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, June 6.-The enor.
nifty of the devastation wrought by the
Cone maugh flood is becoming more and
more apparent with effort of the laborers
to resolve order out Of chaos. Over one
hundred men have been all day engaged
in an effort to clear q narrow passage
from the death bridge upward through the
sea of debris that blocks the Coneriaugh
for nearly half q mile. Every ingenuity
known to man has been resorted to by
this crew. The power Of dynamite was
brought into requisition and at frequent
intervals the roar Of explosions reverber-
ated through the valley, and sticks, stones
and logs would dy high into the air.
Gradually a few of the heaviest timber
were demolished and the fragments per.
mitted to float downward through the
center arch. At nightfall, however, the
clear space above the bridge did not ex.
coed an area of 80 feet in length by 40 feet
in width. When one reflects that fully
twenty five acres are to be cleared in this
way the task ahead seems an intermin.
able one.
THE NUMBER INCREASING.
YOUNGSTOWN, f6-, June D ~ ne DeSt 0sti'
mate on the loss of life, based on the reg.
istry of the living and an unofficial poll,
puts it at from l., 600 to Is 600.
At 1:15 yesterday afternoon fifty bodies
were taken from III e debris in front of the
Catholic Church in Johnstown borough.
About forty of the bodies were those Of
women. They were immed lately removed
to the morgue for Identification.
The work Of clearing up the wreck and
recovering the bodies is now being con.
Quoted systematically. Over 5000 men
are Mt work.
Yesterday morning LOO men arrived in
charge Of Philip Flynn. Hon. William
Flynn arrived later and took charge Of
the work. and by eleven O'Clock they had
succeeded in doing more work at clearing
away the debris than has been done alto
gether before. Mr.. Flynn offered the men
special inducements, but will make them
work. Seventy five cars o; provisions
came up with the laboring men.

berg, the Hungarian Consul At Pitts
burgh. arrived here yesterday for the
purpose of making an Official inves.
tigation of the charges that the
Huns had plundered the bodies of per.
sons who met their death in the food. Mr..
Schamberg said that the only charge
which ne substantiated was that a man,
supposed to be Hun, had been caught in
the act OF cutting off the finger
Of a corpse to secure gold ring and
that he had been hung to a tree for short
time, but not long enough to produce
strangulation. The consul will pursue his
investigation further and report to the
Austrian legation at Washington.

Galen Breaks Down.

ST. LOUIS, June 6-The sensational colt,
Galen, which was purchased last fall by
the Chicago stable for $4,000 cash, broke
down yesterday while at work. This
misfortune is in line with the i'll luck that
has been following the Chicago stable.
Galen is by Fanstars, and was bred by
Jim Gray. His best performance was in
the Coney Island futurity. when he ran
third to Proctor Knott and Salvador. He
ran mile at Washington park in lao and
upon these performances he was bought
by Hankins. He started three times this
year and was great disappointment.
The only qualities he developed was those
of gutter. From the condition which he
is in he will never again face the flag.

the Coroner.
CHICAGO, June 6-AI the evidence In
the Cronin inquest yesterday was directed
towards establishing the fact that the de.
ceased was firmly impressed with the idea
that his life was endangered through the
vaccinations of Alexander Sullivan.
Maurice Morris, . member of the Clan.
ns.Gael, said that at the last convention
he had heard several delegates say that
Cronin and DR.. McCahey. of Philadelphia,
ought to be gotten rid of. Cronin had
told him that he believed McGeehan. the
Philadelphia, had come to Chicago ut the
instigation of Alexander Sullivan to kill
him.
r. McGarry. . Lakeview boilermaker
and an intimate friend of the dead man,
gave his evidence with 10 much dramatic
effect that once or twice he was ap.
plsuded. He testified that Cronin had
several times told him that his life
was in danger; that Alexander Sulli-
van, il he was murdered, would b
found to be the instigator, and that there
were papers in his safe which would con-.
meet Sullivan with the deed. Witness
told how he went to Toronto and met
Long, the reporter, who was responsible
for the circumstantial stories regarding
Cronin having been seen in that city. Nc
Garry offered him s. 600 to substantiate
what he had written, but he could not do
it. Instead he said: 81 wish to God ]

further stated that he was present at q
meeting Of camp "a, Clan-na Gael, when
the question of resolutions regretting the
death of DIR. Cronin was being discussed.
A man, John Moss, who has a store on
West Lake street, rose and said he was
against passing the resolutions. because,
perhaps, the executive committee had
sufficient proof to show that DR.. Cronin
was a British spy and had right to re.
move him.
''In case Cronin was a British spy. had
the executive committee any right to re.
move him" asked Foreman Critchell.
There is nothing in the constitution to
that effect" evasively answered the wit.
