THE CHANGERS ALARMED.
An Insect Pest Makes Its Appearance in the
Illinois Wheat Belt.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June 21.-The State
Board of Agriculture has communication
from the State EntomoIogist, Prot. s. A.
Forbes, concerning minute blush green,
oval, rather sluggish insect found within
few days in such abundance on the heads
and leaves of wheat and oats from the Ohio
river to Madison and Champaign counties
as to create great alarm in the illinois wheat
belt. The entomologist says its amazing
abundance seems due to the drouths OF
recent wears and of the early spring this
year, its enormous rate of multiplied
tion enabling it to take rapid
advantage of circumstances favorable to its
increase. The amount of injury, he says,
depends largely upon the weather, and can
not be predicted. This plant louise attacks
so suddenly and in such overwhelming
numbers when it gets fair start that moth
ing can be done but trust to the weather and
its natural enemies.
The insect is susceptible to immense de-
struction by parasites and seasonable rains
check its mischief by their unfavorable in
fuence on the louise and by enabling grain
to support the loss of sap on which it leeds.
1t damages only crop plants. of the grass
family, including wheat, barley, oats, rye,
bluegrass, fox-tail and the like. tits an Old
World species (Diphonophord duende) COM
monty known as grain plant louise, and in
tested the grain of Europe for over 100
wears. 1t was found in Illinois in 1866, again
in 1876 and 1878, since which time it has
not been reported as specially injurious.

President Roberts Calls n Meeting of the
Trunk Line Presidents for Consultation.
PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
issued a call to-day for meeting of the
Board of Trunk Line Presidents, of which
he is President, to be held extThursday at
II o'clock. The meeting will consider i'm
migrant business, dressed beef rates and the
course to be pursued with regard to mileage
on refrigerator and tank cars and the use of
private stock cars. The Western railway
managers, President Roberts said, are very
anxious to meet the Presidents committee,
with view of settling the increasing diff
ferences among the Northwestern lines.
In order that an opportunity may be given,
the Joint committee of the Trunk Line Asso-
citation will convene Wednesday. and the
result of the conference will be laid be-
fore the Presidents on the day following:
The resignation of Mr.. Fink will also be
discussed. 1t is said the Presidents have
tacitly agreed that under no circumstances
shall their lines enter the present fight, and
that all the companies having traffic agree
ments or running arrangements with the
Western corporations shall pay their full
rates on rail business mo- matter what
charges they make or how extensive re-
duction they care to indulge in. As to the
recent radical cut good judges think it will
bring about a speedy reconciliation.

rFRoM A STAFF coRREsP oNDENT.,
JoHNSTowN, June e21.-Thirty-two bodies
were recovered to-day, and this is the big
gest find made for some days. The majority
of the bodies were taken from the cellars of
the houses, and General Hastings was so
impressed with the work and the possibility
of a number of bodies being buried in these
charnel houses that he has delegated Con-
tractor Suppe, of Johnstown, with 80 local
men, TO begin cleaning cellars early to-mor-
row morning.
The bodies of MAY and Maria Bentford
were discovered on Main street, near the
Merchant House. There was about a foot
of rubbish on them, and the men had been
walking over them. The body of Henry
Pritchard was identified. His eight chill
dren are still missing, Peter L. Tracy and
Winnie 7. Harris, daughter of the Chief of
Police, were recognized. Some of the
bodies were burned bevond recognition.
Outside of the names given the others are
unknown. One is a male, weighing 165
pounds, having an open-faced silver watch
and three keys. He had a receipt from
Charles L. Ruth to someone named Schnorr
or Shnor. Some were so badly disfgured
that the sex could not be determined. Only
the feet Of two bodies were recovered, the
remainier of the bodies having been
burned. Another man, weighing about 100
pounds, height feet inches, had a cameo
gold set and two pocketknives.
Everybody is on the lookout for the
bodies of Miss Paulson and Mrs. and Miss
Swineford, of st. Louis. IF the bodies are
not burned they are liable to be unearthed
any day. ISRAEL.

MILLER'S OPINION.
A Territory Can Become a State Without
nm Enabling Act.

an Enabling Act.
WASHINGTON, June N.-Attorney Gen
eral Miller, at the request of the Governor
of Arizona, submitted through Secretary
Noble, has considered at great length the
question whether in the absence of an en-
abling act by Congress, an act passed by the
Arizona Legislature and approved by the
Governor ''to provide for the holding of
convention for the purpose of framing a
State Constitution to be submitted to the
people for their approval or rejection" is
valid. The Attorney General holds that it
is valid and cites numerous precedents
where Territories were admitted into the
Union without enabling acts. The power
to accept, modify or reject the constitution
adopted by Territory where it seeks ad-
mission as State he holds is vested in Con-
gress.
Congress" he continued, quoting from
the Supreme Court decision in the case of a
national bank versus Yankton, "may not
only abrogate laws of the Territorial Legis-
lature, but it may legislate directly for the
local government. 1t may make void act
of Territorial Legislature valid, and a
valid act void" He holds, in other words,
that Congress has complete control over the
matter when the Territory seeks admission
as a State, and may then cure any defects
that may exist in its constitution, which is
in sense petition, the right of which is
guaranteed in the Constitution of the United
States.

FRANKLIN, KY, June 21.-This town is
agog with excitement tonight over sensa-
ton that is somewhat out of the usual rou-
tine. William J. Hilton, wealthy and
miserly old merchant Of this city,
who is thought to be on his
deathbed, to-day groped out of his bed,
which is situated in the back part of his
store, and went into the store. BE was fol-
lowed by an old negro man, his attendant,
who he ordered to take certain nail keg
and put it on the fire in his room. The keg
was headed up at both ends and he told the
negro that it had few nails in it and some
old papers, will among other things, that
he wished to destroy.
The negro did as directed, little dreaming
that he was consigning to the flames about
$50, 900 in greenbacks and Government
bonds. But such was the case. Soon after
the act was done, a gentleman went in and
seeing large pile of burnt nails in the fire.

remains of burnt paper, and suspicionlng
that all was not right, began to make an
examination of the ashes, and found what
to the naked eve was plainly visible,

Mr.. Hilton has wife and one child,
prohgate son, who has given him a great
deal of trouble. He and his wife have been
separated for some time and there is nov
pending suit for divorce and alimony
against him by his wife. A great deal of
bitterness has grown out of the suit, and it
is thought he preferred to see his property
in ashes rather than for his wife and son to
inherit it. He is not expected to live many
days and is now too feeble to talk and re-
fuses to divulge anything. He has great
antipathy to lawyers and has said he feared
they and his wife would get all he had. A
guard has been placed around his store to-
night for fear he will have it in flames.
Legal proceedings were taken out to have
him declared a lunatic this evening, but
the Jury found him of sound mind.

Fatal Termination of DIR. NhIler's Injuries at
the Hospital Yesterday.
DR.. c. H. Miller. the gentleman found in
jured in a box car on the Allegheny Valley
Railroad at Forty-third street. June IL, died
yesterday afternoon at the West Penn Hos
pital. DR.. Miller was 3S years old, well con-
nected and had wife and family re-
siding in Hutchison City, Kan. He left
his home nearly a month since to meet
his brother, who lives at No. 646 North
Sixth street, Philadelphia. He had little
money and was forced to beat his way
on the railroad. On the evening of June IL he
was discovered by the watchman, Edward
DellInger, at FOrty-third street and Allegheny
Valley Railroad in a box car. DR.. Miller was
removed to the West Penn Hospital.
He was unconscious most of the time. Dur
ing one period of sensibility he said he had
been thrown from a car by a conductor That
was all the clew obtained from him in regard
to his injuries.
Mr.. Dellinger stated last night that Miller
was seen around the yards of the railroad early
in the evening Of the night upon which he was
injured. The supposition is that he attempted
to board a passenger train, but was knocked
down, and while, injured climbed into the box
car.
An inquest will be held this morning at II

One Of the witnesses, Lee Dick, ex-
planned the game OF fan-tan. It is the
game that was played yesterday and called
Chinese checkers. Lawyer White placed
the gambling implements before the wit
ness, and requested him to place the men on
the seat as they are placed in playing the
game. This seemed to be quite an intricate
matter, as it took some minutes. Then, at
the request Of Mr.. White, the witness ex-
planned to the jury how the game was
played. The witness said that when a
player got three of his men in line he won
one of the opposite side. That one was
then taken from the table; when all were
taken from the table the game was done.
