CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION ROW.
The Gentlemen Who Had Charge of the Affair
are Saying Some Hard Things.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch !
NEW YORK, June 5. There is more
trouble among the centennial committees.
Mr.. Stuyvesant has refused to render an
account of the money handled by his com
mittee, and the finance committee has re
fused to honor his demand for $96, 900 claims
due on the ball and banquet tickets. When
the meeting of the finance committee came
to the consideration of the accounts of the
entertainment committee, Mr.. Ennis an
nounced that the entertainment committee
had undertaken to run the ball and banquet
as q private undertaking, and as his
committee had received no money from
either the city or state, he did not con-
slider himself bound to make statement
1.-THE ball and banquet were both success
full" said MIR. Fish, land that ought to
settle the matter.
Il can't render any account until my
vouchers are paid l have vouchers from
Mr.. Gerry for $40, 1000, and l mean to get 1t
before render any account. The commit
tee got these tickets and they must pay for
them"
''You see," said Mr.. Brayton Ives, 'sMr.
Fish assumes to regard the banquet and
all as his own little private affair. We
requested Mr.. Fish to furnish US a
voucher for $1,000 that he received
from General Fitzgerald, and which he has
SO far not accounted for. OF course, if he
has expended the money be must have the
bills to show for it, and if he will only pro-
duce these, will settle them at once. This
is the decision of the finance committee |
and we will stand by this decision, come
what may. The 10000 tickets issued by
the executive committee were given away
and not sold, and they were intended for
free distribution. If you will me send !
your vouchers, 1 will give you the money
and the vouchers, and not before said to |
Mr.. Fish, I'll see you burned, replied that |
gentleman and then he left the office"

Johnstown. Not house is left that stood
within reach of the swollen stream. Here
the damage to property will reach $780, 00
while other towns in the county have suf-
fered accordingly.
At MapletOwn, the immense tannery of
L. a. Roberts was damrged to the extent
of $4,000, and the loss to other
property will reach 100000. At the
Powell furnace. at Saxtown, it reached
$500, 600, and at that place both railroad
bridges are swept away, leaving railroad
communication with Bedford cut of. For
distance of four miles below here the
Pennsylvania tracks are destroyed, with
the bridges gone at Manapunk and Lewis
ton, the latter having gone down during
the heavy storm of last night. Growing
crops in the lowlands were destroyed, and
in Smiths valley in this county, the farm
ing lands, comprising an area of twelve by
two miles have been stripped of every
vestige of soil. So far as known 800
houses have been destroyed in this county.
Three families, comprising sixteen per-
sons, living on the Royston branch, are
missing, and it is feared they have been
swept away with their homes.

: { JoHSsrowN, June 5.-Where Johnstown's
principal stores stood last Friday are now
pitched one numbered tents, and before to-
morrow night the number probably will be
doubled. Under this shelter are accom-
modated members of the militia and
thousands of workmen who are trying to
clean the streets Of this wrecked city.
Over five thousand men are thus employed
in Johnstown, about one thousand five
hundred of these being regular street hands
hired by contractors, the others being
volunteers.
William Flynn, a Pittsburg contractor,
has arrived in the wrecked city and at once
took charge of the army laborers. In an
interview he told Of the work to be done,
and the contractors estimates show more
than anything the chaotic condition of the
city. 1t viii take 0,O00 men thirty days to
make the streets passable and work of
building commenced. Said he, ''And am at
a loss to know how the work is to be done
This enthusiasm will soon die and the
volunteers viii want to return home. Ii
would take all summer for my men alone to
do what work is necessary. Steps must
be taken at once to furnish gangs, and to-
morrow l shall forward a petition to the
Pittsburg chamber of commerce asking the
different manufacturers of the Ohio valley
to take turns for a month or so III furnish
, -6ng reliefs for men. These gangs should
ToOme for i week at a time, as no
organization can be effected if men
arrive and leave when they please.
The volunteers are doing noble work, and
nearly every town in Western Pennsyl-
vania is represented by from one to ten
men. Many towns in Ohio and New York
have also furnished their quota of laborers.
These volunteers are working with will,
but before the end of the week they will
want to return home. The men who come
here will be paid 81 day and board"
All of the labOrers who have been tOiling
with the wreckage are quartered in barns
and others in the tents above referred to.
1t was a scene as of army life at the time
that supper was ready, and the long pine
. tables were crowded with tea coffee, bread
and cheese, which was the fare tonight,
but more substantial rations viii be given
out tomorrow.
As darkness drew a veil over the scene
the noise became quiet and only the chal-
lenge of the militiaman was heard as he
babe some belated individual to obey the
orders of the sheriff and leave the city.
Dead Johnstown is under martial law, and
laborers only are wanted.

The CrOnin Investigation.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Just before the inquest
over DR.. Cronin was ended for today. the
books of the Traders bank were brought
into the court room by order of Judge
Shepard. Byron Smith, receiver of the
bank, was present to explain their bearing
on the case. BY the checks on file and
edger entries it was shown that in the
summer of 1882 Alexander Sullivan had al
together 100000 in the bank. Of this
money, twenty thousand dollars and more
was an individual account, the rest was
credited to Alexander Sullivan, agent Rv
september D, 1882, this money had been
drawn out on checks mad e,payable to J. l..
Lester q Co., brokers. 1t is the intention
OF the coroner to summon member of the
firm to probe the matter further.
Patrick McGarry, Michael Barry.
Maurice Morris, ana Joseph O'Bryne. ali
members of the Clan-na Gael, and friends
OF DR.. Cronin, gave testimony to the gen
eral effect that DR.. Cronin had said to them
at different times that he expected Alex
ander Sullivan to instigate some one to kill
MN. All were asked if they had ever
heard OF threats against the doctors life
by MIR. Sullivan and each replied in the
negative
Thomas j. Conway, Clan-na-Gael man,
testified that he had heard Mcclellan, the
fuuaue!phlan, say ne had come west under
orders from the executive committee of
the club. At meeting of Camp "a. Con
way continued, resolutions regretting Gro
Minis death We're opposed, because, per
haps, the executive committee had proof as
to how CrOnin was British spy.
Alexander Sullivan's attention was
called to the testimony of Receiver Smith
this afternoon at the inquest. Mr.. Sulli-
van said there was nothing whatever in
the Traders bank account which could not
and would not be satisfactorily explained
whenever any proper judicial proceeding
required 1t. AT any time during the past
six years he could have obtained and de-
stroyed the checks if ne had so desired:
but as there was nothing to conceal, any-
body having any right to an explanation
can get it at the proper time

WASHINGTON, June 5.-An attorney of
this city recently wrote to the secretary of
the treasury on behalf of the Catholic
university of America, located in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, saying that the univer-
sity desired to have the services of several
learned European professors Tor the di-
vinlty department of the university, and
lnquiring whether the immigration of such
persons would be regarded by the depart
ment as violation of the terms of the
alien contract labor law. Hon. w. P.
Hepburn, solicitor of the treasury. has
given an opinion that the immigration of
foreign professors under a contract, ex-
pressed or implied, would be clearly VIC
latlon of the alien contract labor law.

Murder Case.

CHICAGO, June 5'-The Evening Journal
says there is trouble in the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. Chief Arthur is a
candidate for reelection, and as such has
been making quite canvass of the various
lodges of the brotherhood this last week.
Secret meetings for this purpose were held
in this city last week, at which
over two hundred members were present,
and with their defeat by the 90"
momentarily expected reduction of wages
on the Santa Fe, and the recent discharge
by the Alton of large number of brother
hoodmen fresh in their minds they were not
at all satisfied with the chiefs optimistic
speech. Members of the general grievance
committee addressing Chief Arthur, said:
IA reduction of wages is expected to be
made before long on number of western
roads. Such action we do not propose to
accept, because we do not believe it is JUS
titled We therefore desire to know
whether, in the event of a reduction being
ordered despite our opposition, you would
sanction striker
Chief Arthur did not like the question,
but said there was no help for it. He an
sWered Under no condition or circum-
stances OF which | can conceive shall ever
sanction another strike"
But, sir" broke in a questioner, ''sup-
pose reduction of wages should occur on
the Union Pacific system, where the
brotherhood is so thoroughly equipped as to
obtain the granting of everything they ask,
wouldn't you authorize strike to resist
it,"
Without moments hesitation Chief
Arthur replied: mo, sir. would not. 1
trust, believe that no reduction of wages
IS to be made, but should there be, and the
men will follow my advice, they will &C
cept the reduction. 1 shall never sanction
another strike.''
adjourned. Murmurs of discomfort have
been heard ever since it was known that
Chief Arthur had strong dislike for
strikes, but that his conservatism was so
extreme as his speech showed it to be, was
never dreamed of. -

Consider the Commissions Offer.
ROSEBUD AGENCY, Dakota, June 5.-The
Indians have been counselling last night
and to day. At their srequest General
Crook met with them. They stated that
it was impossible for them to make up
their minds as rapidly as white people, and
they must have time to consider among
themselves. General Crook told them the
commission fully appreciated these facts,
but they could not remain here in
definitely. He went over the whole affair
and pointed out the advantages and said
that if they accepted they, would become
self supporting and sustaining with all the
advantages that would come from citizen
ship.
The difficulty which at present confronts
the commission is that SO long as the In
dams remain here they must be fed and so
long as they are fed they will endeavor to
delay action. When the rations stop many
of them will return to their farms, which
are scattered over the reservation Some
of the distant ones are more than one hun
dred miles away.
