Sullivan Refuses to Be Inter-
viewed, But Says His Conscience
Is Clear.
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Daily News
report of the arrest says: Mr.. Sullivan
exhibited no Impotence or chagrin at
Officer Palmer's refusal OF the request
to remain at the house over night.
81 give you credit, Mr.. Sullivan, for
being very cool man," said the veteran
detective in the subsequent converse
ton. s'Well," said Mr.. Sullivan, "a man
with clear conscience need never
worry, and know of no wrong have
DONE" Then he donned his overcoat and
hat and led his captOrS from the house.
The Daily News says the woman who
appeared at the head of the stairs lead
ing to the basement was Mr.. Sullivan's
old housekeeper, who was in state of
great trepidation. Mr.. Sullivan passed
over to her, and after saying a few
words kissed her goodbye. At the Jail
office Mr.. Sullivan had a pleasant nod
of recognition for Night Jailer Currier
and such old newspaper men as he
knew. One ill-mannered reporter con-
fronted him with great roll of note
paper and demanded: "What have
you to say?'' 81 will say my say in
court" was the answer. When further
pressed by the same individual, Mr..
Sullivan said: ''Please have the de-
cency to let me alone" A moment
later the prisoner was conveyed through
the iron doorway into the silent cell
room, and going IN pleasantly babe the
by-standerS a general pleasant GOOD
night"

IT'S SOUTHERN POLICY.

f. j. GAY, Democrat who was
elected from one of the Louisiana dis
tricts to the coming congress, died not
long since, and a special election will
be had to fill the vacancy. Ordinarily
this would be a matter of small interest,
but the peculiar circumstances in the
present case give it more than local I'M
portance. The Republican majority IN
the new congress will be small, and the
managers think there may be chance
to gain one; and, in addition. the policy
of the administration will have an eX-
perimental opportunity here. The dis
trict has been somewhat close pOlltl-
cally, and is great sugar region. The
administration idea seems to be to make
protection the issue and elect Demo-
crat identified with the local industry
who favors the high tariff, presumlng
that he can be influenced by patronage
and interest to act with the Republicans.
AS step in this policy the president
has appointed as United States marshal
fortheWestern district ofLOuisianaJoHN
VIGNEAUX, lifelong Democrat, who
supported Mr.. CLEVELAND last year.
He is interested in sugar plantations,
and presumed to be inclined to protec-
ton and to be useful in the develop
ment of the administration policy in his
state. The protection feature would
probably work with some success there,
but the white Republican phase will he
apt to be troublesome, as the district is
full of black people, and they have am
bilious men of their own. One of these,
DIR. DARRALI.. is a man of some note,
and wants to be candidate himself.
KELLOGG, too, lives in the district, and
has still the carpetbag instinct for office.
He has been to congress, and will go
again if he can get there. COLEMAN,
the only Republican from Louisiana in
congress, has been Democrat, and did
not declare himself square kepub-
lican until the patronage was in sight.
The administration is evidently dis
posed to experiment in Louisiana and
use all the patronage available to sub
serve its ends. Still, 1t is probable that
the Democrats will carry the district
and hold their own in the state.

STATE SENTIMENT.

If Senator Washburn was elected to
the senate by the free use of money,
and he says the legislature that chose
him was corrupt, he should resign his
seat without delay. Surely, such a
high-minded gentleman as Mr.. Wash
burn would not stultify himself by
hanging on to an office to which he was
elected by body of corruptionists?-

Of course they oppose the meat in
spection law. but the intelligent farm
ers will not be misled into denouncing
a law without giving it fair trial and a
chance to see its workings. The law
was made at the request Of the farmers
of this state and not against their pro-
test. The political trimmers in the
Farmers Alliance will not be able to
deceive them.-Wright Times.

Typos Convention.

DENVER, Col, June 1.-THE thirty.
seventh annual convention of the Inter
national Typographical union convened
here late last night. About two hun
dred delegates were present. After
appointing several committees, the
convention adjourned until to-day.
The business of to-day was confined to
receiving reports of the president, Sec
rotary, treasurer and the committee On
law, when recess was taken until to-
morrow morning. The principal sub
ject which seems to most agitate the
minds of delegates present is
"What disposition shall be made
of the Childs-DreXel fund.-" which
now amounts to $4,000. Some we're in
favor of the establishment of an insur-
ance department, Others the creation of
widows fund, while an apparent major
ity were in favor of establishing home
for aged printers. The subject will have
considerable discussion at this meeting,

credit" and that the action of the
Pennsylvania society was an attempts
on the part of Judge Rea and others
ito make little political capital"
The Pennsylvania society at its meet
ing last night had no thought of ''snub-
bling" any committee; or in anywise
interfering with the work Of the citi-
Zens' committee, other than, if possible,
to render all possible assistance.
AS president of the Pennsylvania So
ciety, on Sunday after the occurrence
OF the Johnstown flood, wrote call to
the pennsylvania society, and the pub
lie in general, for aid, and in that call
requested all banks and newspapers to
receive all contributions left for the So
clety, with the statement that the
moneys would be sent to Judge Rea,
who was chairman of the executive
committee, who would forward same to
Pennsylvania, and pursuant to that
call checks for considerable money had
been sent and other amounts collected;
and the action of the society last night
was step toward collecting what funds
had been paid in at the different banks
and offices pursuant to call. This was
not to be an interference with the work
of the citizens committee, which was
not appointed until day or two after
the call we issued.
Judge Rea was designated to receive
and forward the funds, as he was chair
man of the executive committee, and
he had no part in arranging the pro-
gramme in which he was requested to
act as custodian of the funds.
TO accuse Judge Rea of acting in this
matter fer the purpose of making pOliti-
cal capital out of it, is gratuitous in
suit. AS we'll might any one accuse
Christian of acting as pail bearer at the
funeral of dead friend for the purpose
of making political capital out of it.
We all regret that any miSunderStand-
ing has grown out of this matter. and,
as Pennsylvanians, we feel deeply
grateful for the generous action of the
citizens generally, and especially do we
feel grateful to the citizens relief COM
mittee, to whom we are willing to con-
cede all credit for the magnificent re-
suits of their most efficient labOrs. Re-
spectfully, JOHN MILLER,
President of Pennsylvania Society.

Watches Don't Go.

HARRISBURG, Va, June 1.-To-day
the annual meeting of German Baptists
was opened here. Retiring Moderator
Enoch Eby announced the officers, thus:
S. S. Mohler, of Missouri. moderator;
John Wise, of Kansas, reading clerk;
John G. Roger, of Illinois, writing clerk.
The question as to whether sisters
should wear riding habits was taken up,
and the convention advised that no
superfuities be worn. The question of
whether gold watches could be worn
was also taken up, and after discussion
it was decided that it was a cause
for expulsion from the church. 1t
was also decided that attendance
atplaces of amusement was wrong. No
member who uses tobacco can be chosen
as delegate, or put on the standing
committee. The meeting voted down
motion to encourage local option, OH the
ground that the general rules of the
church forbid taking part in exciting
political events.

ACTIVE PREPARATIONS.
The Arrangements for the Grea
Saengerfest Next Week.

The Arrangements for the Great
Saengerfest Next Week.
The sale of season tickets for the
saengerfest next week is in progress at
the headquarters on Hennepin avenue.
and the demand is much greater than
was expected. The number of mail
orders received is surprisingly large, and
the delegations from Chicago. Freeport.
Milwaukee, La Crosse, Madison, and
other cities South will be of good pro-
portions. The checks for seats for all
OF the concerts can be procured after
tomorrow morning at PAL Hennepin
avenue, and the sale of reserved seats
for single concerts will open either Sat
urday or Monday. The big hall at the
exposition building is admirably ar
ranged for the accommodation of the
audience. The big light well has been
covered, and chairs in that space
will be on a level and facing
the great chorus, Immediately in
front of which will be seated Gilmore's
band on the right, Danz' band on the
left, with the vocal artists and the di-
rectOrs between.
The festival will be perhaps the most
prominent event in the northwest this
year, and the low railroad fare will be a
great inducement to people in the sur
rounding states to visit Minneapolis and
hear Gilmore, who has no peer as
musical director, and the great soloists
who accompany him. The concert pro-
grammes include several wonderful
features in musical way. The Anvil
Chorus and Star Spangled Banner, with
a number OF anvils and the roar of artil-
lery, all timed with the music, will be
thrilling in the extreme. The Gilmore
battery of six guns will be an interest
ing sight. The cannon are of gold
gun metal, breech-loading, perfect in
all points of construction. 1t would re-
quire long row of figures to show how
many people have listened to Gilmore's
delightful converts. He is now in BOs-
ton celebrating the anniversary of his
great iuhilea

IT WILL never be known just how
many lives were lost in the Conemaugh
flood, but it is gratifying that the fig
ures are becoming smaller day by day;
many supposed to be swept away are
coming forward to register among the
living. In presence of such fearful
scenes the mind naturally generalizes
and magnlfes. 1t the 10000 shall be
cut down to less than 5000, there will
be some consolation, although the occa-
sion will stand out in appalling pro-
portions among the great catastrophes
of the ages.

WIND AND LIGHTNING.
A Severe Storm Sweeps Over New
g. York and Brooklyn.

"A severe SCOfm sweeps OVer new
Z York and Brooklyn.
New YORK. June ia lively wind
and thunder storm visited New
York and Brooklyn about 5
o'clock this evening. The lightning
struck in several places, but the only
serious damage done was by the blow
ing down of building i'll course of
erection at Evergreen and Cooper
avenues, Brooklyn. Six workmen
were buried IN the ruins, two
being killed and the others
badly injured. The dead are Henry
Doscher, aged ten, son of the builder,
and Frank Masteno, an Italian. An
other young son of the builder was
among the four persons injured. The
lightning struck and set fire to st. James
cathedral, Brooklyn, and the interior
of the building was burned out. The
structure was over sixty years old. The
priests by great eXertiOn saved the rec
ords of marriages, births, ETC., covering
that period. It may, cost $4,000
to repair the cathedral. The
storm also caused a portion of
the wall of the church to
st. Mary's star of the sea, Brooklyn, to
fall. The loss is not large. A tree in
front of Mrs. Langtry's house on TWEEN
ty-third street, New York, was shattered
by lightning. and there were several
minor accidents of this kind.

A CONTRACTORS DAM.
The Dam at JOhnstOwn Was Built
by q Railroad Clerk.

by a Railroad Clerk.
r. NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Engineer
ing News will publish in its forthcom-
> ing issue the results Of survey and
examination of the Johnstown dam and
of inquiries in JOhnstOWn and Pitts
burg, by which various facts not yet
made public were aScertained. The
first break in the dam occurred
in July, 1862, and was caused by
a defect in the culvert, through which
twO-feet discharge pipes were carried
for letting out water from the bottom of
the reservoir. This break did compare
lively little damage. Enough of the
dam remained to make little pond
about eight feet deep above the dam,
which stayed unused until, 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 re-
ported. After holding the prop
erty unused in 1879. Mr.. Reilly offered
it to the late Col. B. E. Ruff, an old and
successful railroad and tunnel contract
or. and the originator of the South
Forks Fishing and Hunting club, for
ested two other Pittsburg gentle
men in the project, and stated to them
that the dam could be reconstructed
for not over $1,5OO, and that he would
take contract to do it for 81, 700. On
this basis the club was organized, land for
some time these three gentlemen were
the only persons in it. Col. Ruff en-
gagged as foreman and superintendent
of this work Edward Pearson, a cousin
of the present mayor of Allegheny City.
He had never been an engineer. but
after 1880 was employed in the local
freight department of the Pennsylvania
railroad at Pittsburg. So far as we can
ascertain by diligeht inquiry he not
only was never an engineer, but he
had never been engaged before
even as contractor on water
works or construction of dams.
At no time during the process of re-
building the dam was any engineer
whatever engaged in or consulted as to
the work, fact which will be hailed
by engineers everywhere with great
satisfaction as relieving them as
body from heavy burden of suspicion
and reprOach. The precautions taken
against failure were only such as an
old railroad contractors knowledge
of hydraulic engineering indicated
we're admissible without further in
creasing contemplated investment of
So, 700, which had to be increased at
test by over $4,000. We have investi-
gated carefully the various specific re-
ports that the dam was periodically or
Occasionally inspected by engineers,
but find no evidence that it was
ever inspected and approved, even
once. by any engineer commissioned
for that purpose who by auy stretch of
charity would be regarded as an expert.
The dam was contractors dam. En-
gineers had nothing to do either with
{ it's construction or it's maintenance.

He Is Suspected of Having a Hand
in the Murder.

Iii VIC Mufu0rs
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Herald,
of this city, will tomorrow adj
vance the theory that John
Walsh, sometimes known as
John Hanly, the famous invincible, had
a hand in the murder, and that the ass
assination was ordered from across the
water. Walsh was in Chicago sew
eral weeks prior the murder of DR..
CrOnin. 1t is not known when he
went away. He was seen here at vari-
GUS times until the middle of February.
He said nothing about his business.
Walsh, accompanied ey Philip McCar-
thy, of Chicago, aided in the escape OF
the Fenians from Australia, in the
Catalpa in 1867. Walsh was selected
for this dangerous task because of his
great strength and iron nerve. When
he returned to America he became pos
sessed of the idea that lrishmen of
the world owed him a living, and
acted accordingly. From that time to
the present he has done no manual
work. Walsh, is an athlete. Though
nearly fifty years of age, he does
not look to be more than thirty
five. He stands FIVE feet eleven
inches in height, and can handle
ease. Walsh was the trusted agent of
the Invincibles. and was assigned by
them to perform dangerous work. He
made such trips to England. Then the
Clan-na- Gael passed into the hands of the
famous triangle-Walsh was pressed
into service. Acting, it is said, under
direction, Walsh made a protracted
visit to Ireland and England, returning
with valuable information. While
there he went by the name of
John Hanley. There is no record of
Walsh's work for the triangle in the
United States, but there are numerous
stories which associate his name with
the disappearance of many men.

THE "W1LLIAMs BROTHERS"
Mcdonald and Maroney Supposed
to Be the Murderers.

mCDOnalu anu MarOncy supposed
to Be the Murderers.
CHICAGO. June 11.-To-night informa-
ton was derived from detective sources
sources that J. J. Maroney, who was
arrested in New York to-day, is
a member of the Clan-na-G Gael
executive - that is to say the
committee which governs the
whole organization and of which
Luke Dillon is member. Maroney, it
is claimed, has been identified by the
statesmen as the man who purchased the
furniture which first went to Clark
street and afterwards to the Carlson
cottage. The identification is repre-
sented as having been from a
cabinet photograph Of Maroney. This
same Maroney is claimed also to have
been identified as the person who
rented the cottage. Mcdonald, the
other New Yorker, was his companion.
A witness has been found, it is asserted,
who will swear that Maroney and Nc
Donald are the men who posted the let
ter at Hammond, Ind, after the
tragedy, telling the Carlsons that the
rent would still be forthcoming. Marc
ney wrote the letter, so it is alleged,
and Mcdonald was seen to leave the
train and post it,. In fact, the story in a
nutshell is that Maroney and Mcdonald

Somewhat Exaggerated.

The reports of diphtheria at the Hotel
Ardmore and the removal of three per-
sons sick with the disease to the Home
opathic hospital without permit from
the health department seems to be an
exaggerated statement of the situation.
Three persons at the hotel have been
silitis, or diphtheretic sore throat. Fear
ing it might be diphtheria, the physi-
clan, DIR. Mahaffey, ordered them re-
moved. The hotel management could
hardly have been blamed for allowing
this preeaution to be taken. and there
does not seem to be any occasion f0r
alarm.
