JoHNsTowN, June 15.-Sunshine has sue
ceeded the morning shower. This is the first
bright noontide that Johnstown has seen
for week. On the principle that rain
cannot.fall perpetually, the several thous-
and men who are anxious to clean up this
ruined city are hoping for fair weather
from this on.
DThe Conemaugh is swollen and its rush
ing current reminds one of Johnstown on
the day preceding the flood. The high
water is an advantage, however, as it car
ries away great portion of the impurities
lodged along the banks.
Engineer Phillips has resorted to the
hundred pound dynamite cartridges to
clear Cup the wreck. This morning the
first charge of that size frightened the
town and shook houses. Half of the win
dows in the Millvale school shouse were
shattered and on Prospect Hill, just oppo-
site, the chimneys came rafting down
upon the house tops. After the first charge
they were diminished somewhat. Only
four bodies have been recovered up to
noon

HIS POLICY,
To the editor of THE HERALD.

To the editor Of THE HERALD.
In regard to the removal by President
Harrison of Judge Sanford, am inclined
to regard it much in the same light as THE
HERALD and the New York Times do. !
have always understood that the legislat-
i've, the judicial and the executive depart
ments were not subject to serf-like de-
tendance one ON another. But it seems
that President Harrison thinks otherwise.
He evidently thinks he is king and can
command the judiciary anyhow. Whether
he can the legislature also, remains to be
seen. But to me it is doubtful. The judi
ciary now know that they must ''crook the
pregnant hinges of the knee'' to King Har-
rison, or off go their heads. If they don't
square their rulings and decisions in &C
cordance with this policy, they are of no
use to him, and their successors will be in
Dictated. Is not that queerl To think
that the President must have his
special policy carried out on the bench, is
decidedly funny, in this land of constitu-
tional liberty. What next, wonderl Ger
tainly, to men of common sense and fair
ness of mind, Judge Sanford got the best
of President Harrison by good many
notches. But we shall see what the coun-
try thinks of that kind of policy, and espe
cially will it be interesting to learn what
the Senate will do about it. President
Harrison has made more than one removal
of a good and fair-minded man in order to
put an odorous, indeed, NAL odorous, parti
san into the place. OF course it is all done
as matter of policy" But if that is the
way to perpetuate the virtues of the form
of government under which we live, then 1
don't know it. CIR.

ENSIGN ORMSBY'S CASE.
Heis Fond Guilty of Disobedience to Orders
and is Dismissed.


WASHINGTON, June 15-The case of En-
sign George F. Ormsby, which was finally
disposed of to-day by his dismissal fromithe
naval service, is the first occurring in a
number of years which has had that re-
suit.
Ormsby was regarded in the service as a
''sea lawyer" and greatly vexed the de-
partment by his lawless and erratic con-
duct. The formal charges on which he
was tried by court martial were disobed-
fence to orders and diSrespect towards the
secretary of the navy.
1t appears from the evidence that when
he was ordered from Richfield Springs to
join the Mononghahela. then under orders
to proceed to Samoa, he pleaded illness,
ana when the department fatty refused to
accept this excuse, he disregarded his or
ders and proceeded south and asked to have
his resignation accepted. In some of his
letters addressed to the secretary of
the navy he complains that he
was being Inundated contrary to the re
VlSed statutes, and requested the secretary
either to leave the decision to the civil
courts, where he had begun an action look
ing to the revocation of his orders, or to a
court martial Subsequently he was found
at Los Angeles, Gala, and placed under ar
1851 anu SOh' Gu W h1dIC lSIduu, where nc
was tried by court martial In one of his
letters, Ormsby charges that Commodore
Harmony, acting as secretary, has made
untrue and ScandalouS statements about
his case, which were contrived to
serve as false evidence before
the medical BOARD. This failing of
its purpose, the ensign next attacked Sec
rotary Whitney directly, charging him
with neglect or omission to carry out the
laws and with stopping him from prose-
cutting his lawsuit to just conclusion by
ordering him from the country.
Onall the charges and specifications the
court-martial found him guilty, and on:the
secretary's approval, the President to-day
formally dismissed Ensign Ormsby from
the service

Russian officers Investigating British Column
bia Ports.
sh COlum

New YORK, June 15.-Ottawa special
advices from British Columbia say that
there is much excitement over the presence
of Russian man-of-war whose officers
have been studying the defensive points of
thd province and taking notes and obserVa-
tions of the coaIing centres and fortifca-
tions. They visited Victoria and Esqui
mault, and without regard to international
courtesy go on with their work. They are
under the surveillance OF parties detailed
for the work, but it is impossible to hinder
them gaining the information they are
evidently seeking. 1t is understood that
the matter has been reported to the govern
ment here. From what can be learned,
they are taking notes of the various points
which could be made available for defens-
i've purposes in the event of war between
England and Russia. A report which ar
rived to-day says it is one of the most bare
faced attempts on the part of nation to
spy on the defences of another power ever
recorded

Magnusson. the Chippewa Victim.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, June 15.-Swen Mag

brought here yesterday and placed in the
hospital Magnusson says that he has
always been on the best of terms with the
Indian Wadena, who did the shooting, and
is at a loss to account for the attack upon
him. except that Wadena was crazy with
drink Wadena called him to the door at
midnight Wednesday night, and without a
word fired upon him.
\ Credible reports brought from Mora are
to the effect that Magnusson was the only
person injured, and that the wild sensa-
tiOnal reports had but little or no founda-

FITZGERALD, THE IRISH LEADER.
He DenOmces in Strong Terms the Murder OF
CrOnin-The Chippewa Indians-Indict-
ments Against Tennessee officials.

JoHNsTowN, June 15.-The opening of the
wedge line raft above the stone bridge to
day was an engineering feat. For ten days
several hundred men have been at work
upon the Heterogeneous mass, but only about
sixty feet Of the channel had been cleared
when, on Wednesday, William Phillips, of
Lewiston, and a force of dynamiters were
put to work Six acres of solidly packed
wreckage wedged between the river banks
by a hydraulic force that cannot be
estimated, have in three days melted
away. Large frame houses, hundreds of
logs and monster trees were tangled up
and bound together with wire and iron
bars brought down with the food. The
scene this afternoon when the great mass
moved down the river, was 4 remarkable
one. The crowds that lined the shores
near the now famous stone bridge, raised
a shout that was heard the length and
breadth of the valley. The west bank of
the ConemaUgh is again a furnace fire to-
night. The wreckage turned up by the
dynamite to-day was piled up and the torch
applied, and the whole valley is illumin-
ated.
Measles are very prevalent among the
children. The BedfOrt street hospital has
two cases of measles, and bronchitis and
diarrah9a are very general among the
workmen There is no sickness of conse-
quence among the militia.
From the most authentic records obtain
able, the number of bodies recovered so far
is 1,533. Fourteen bodies were taken out
to-day. DR.. Free, of the state board of
health, inspected the river towns as far
down as Sang Hollow to-day. The worst
discovery made was the large number of
dead persons and cows floating in the river.
The dynamite explosions have brought
many carcasses to the surface. They are
in bad state of decomposition.
Eight carloads of lumber arrived to-day,
and rough sheds are already being erected
in the heart of the city to be used as
stores.

Charming Manner.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch I
BINGHAM, Mass, June Is. - Eighteen
little maids from school, all of them mem
bers of aristocratic families, played a
match game of baseball here yesterday.

neither over fifteen years of age, daughters
of Ex-Governor John d. Long. The mines
were called the Fem. Sens. Abbreviates,
from the female seminary, and the Con-
querors, from the grammar school girls.
The game was played in field adjoining
the grammar school, but before it was
called the neighbOrhoOd had been thor
oughly searched for reporters. Then a
good game began, with a boy as umpire
The pitcher, Amy Birkitt, showed signs of
winning until the eighth inning,
when her delivery became very err
ratio, and several Conquerors took
first base on balls. PUT 'em over the
plate, can't you! " cried out plucky Mar
garet Long, who was playing a great up
hill game. Amy braced up and struck out
two of the COnquerors in succession and
essayed to catch sky-scraper from Helen
Longs bat in the eighth inning and
strained her little finger in the act, but
she continued to play all the same, while
the spectators clapped their hands. Nine
full innings were played, and then the girls
gathered up the bats and went to supper.
They were pretty tired, but all said they
had enjoyed an afternoon of real fun and
would like to have another game.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The supreme court of
Illinois to-day reversed, in effect, the noted
decision of Judge Pendergast, of Chicago,

time the principle that the preferring of
