WHY ERHARDr RESIGNED.

He Sets at Rest All Fnmors by Making
 n Statement.
 NEW YORK, July 31.-Specu1ation as to Collector Erhardt's reasons for his abrupt resignation was set at rest to-day by Col Erhardt himself, who made the fol- lowing statement:
 q have resigned because the Collector is reduced to d position where he is no longer an independent officer with au- thority commensurate with his responsi- bility. I have given bonds for $200, 900. have received for the government dur ing the 20 months last past $322, ,691,- 135. 40 and am all the time personally re- sponsible for enormous values in money and in merchandise. My duties are necessarily performed through about 1,500 employees am not willing to con tinue to be responsible for their conduct unless have proper authority over them.
 stThe recent policy of the Treasury De- partment has been to control the de- tails of the customs administration of the port of New York from Washington at the dictation of a private individual, having no official responsibility. The Collector is practically deprived of power and control, while he is left subject to all responsibility. The office is DO longer independent, and I am. Therefore we have separated '
 As soon as he is relieved from the Col 1ectorship, he will join his family in the New Hampshire hills.

 OSBORN, Ga, July 31.-While 900 peo- pie were assembled at Lower High Tower Church near here tho other evening, $ stroke of lightning fell near the church, and glancing from the ground where it struck, proceeded to play havoc with the congregation.
 Two or three currents seemed to enter the church, and in an instant they threw everything into confusion. Benches were upset and the floor covered with people variously affected by the stroke.
 Some were knocked senseless, while others had their clothes and shoes torn from their bodies. Many were burned, and streaks and Rnarks were left on their bodies where the current touched them. Nearly every one in the congregat ion bears marks of lightning.
 Ex-Senator J. w. Foster was knocked senseless, and on recovering found marks on his legs and body.

 DUBLIN, July 31 .-Messrs. Dillon and O,Brien were released from Galway jail at, precisely 9:25 a. m. Neither one Of the gentlemen showed more than slight traces of having suffered fir the rigors of confinement, and at tie moment of release both seemed to be In the enJoy- nent of excellent health.
 A large crowd made up of adherents of both factions of the Irish National party surrounded the jail, and when the distinguished ex-prisoners made their appearance, they were greeted with cheers und rival shouts: ''Stick 10 Parneilr' and sDown with Parnellp'
 A deputatfon representing the evicted tenant-farmers of Tipperary,< met the gentlemen as they emerged from the jail addresses scongratulating them upon their release.
 Outside the jail yard, sitting in an open carriage, was Mrs. O'Brien who, amid the cheers of the crowd, warmly saluted her husband upon meeting him.
 MT. O'Brien and MT. Dillon at once entered the carriage which, followed by the repeated cheers of the crowd, was rapidly drawn to the residence of Bishop Mccormack.
 Here number of the political and personal friends of the Irish leaders were assembled to join their liberated friends at a banquet given in their honor by the Bishop
 A few short addresses suitable to the occasion, but devoid of all reference to existing Irish political troubles, were made, after which some time was spent in pleasant conversation.
 Later in the day both Dillon and O'Rrien came to this city.
 There is great anxiety throughout Ireland to know what attitude will be assumed by the two leaders towards the clashing pretensions of Mccarthy and Parne1L The opinion prevails in this city that their first efforts at least will be directed to g vigorous attempt to close the breach, the existence of which has worked so much mischief to the Irish cause. 4
 Later both gentlemen authorized the statement that they repudiate Parnell's pretensions to the leadership of the Irish National party.
 RThe prom t and decided action has created profound sensation.
 The McCarth yites are jubilant, while even the most enthusiastic and steadfast followers of Mir. Parnell are down cast and faltering.

KIDNAPPED r,Y OUTLAWS.
A Wealthy CitSzen of Jeanettevill, F
 Pound pesishing in n Cave.

A Wealthy Citsxen of Jeanetteviu, Pa.,
 Found pesishing in n Cave.
 GREENsBURG, Pa, July 31.-Joel Moore, a wealthy citizen of Jeannette, who mysteriously disappeared several days ago, was discovered during the morning g lying half famished and nearly perished in damp cave in lonely ravine some distance south of that place. He was tenderly carried home, but suffering severely from starvation and the ex- posture from which he had undergone.
 The whereabouts of the old gentleman was disclosed by the arrest of Joseph and Madison Johnston, the two notorious speak-easy proprietors, who were cap tured through the extraordinary efforts of five officers after 8 shooting conflict from behind trees
 The Johnston brothers had been ter rorizing the community for over year. and their headquarters south of Jean nette had been 8 loafng place for toughs of most desperate character. On the evening of the disappearance of MT. Moore he was seen in the company of one of the Johnstons. He was known to have 8 large some of money with him, and when he failed to return home that night hissfriends became greatly alarmed and at>once instituted search.
 All sorts of dark rumors began to be circulated. The officials finally made B descent upon the Johnston place. and the two brothers were captured, together with several of their associ ates. One of the men taken became frightened at the threats of the officers and revealed the place where the old man was hidden. His money was gone and he had been roughly treated. If he had not been dis covered death would have soon occurred.
 These revelations have caused an as- tonishing sensation. During the last six months there have been several Hmys- terious disappearances from Jeannette and vicinity. A searching party, accom- panied by officers, is to make 8 thorough search of the cave and ravine in the morning in the hope of making addition al discoveries.
 In the effort to arrest the Johnston brothers Constable Wetshon's officers, Pitts aud Fritz of Jeannette, and &bunty Detective Alcorn, had lively work Madi- san was ,arrested without any trouble but Joe resisted and hed behind Ia big tree. Drawing 8 revolver he compelled Wetshon and Alcorn to get behind trees. About dozen shots were ex- changed before Joe's ammunition ran out He and Madison were then brought here and placed in jail, Joe being held in $1 200 and Madison in $500 bail.

RIOTERS KNoUTED TO DEATH.

Severe Punishm ent 10 Starving PIunderers
 in Russia.
 ST. PETERsBURGH, July 31.- The great est misery exists in Bessarabia, owing to the failure of the harvest and tn scar city of food. In the village of Kou shany the people broke out in & riot, and plum. dered shops of provisions. The local po- lice tried to restrain them anu were badly beaten, and one of their number killed.
 Re-enforcements arriving from the town of Bender, the rioters were at length dispersed, and 8 large number were made prisoners. Two of the prisoners were knouted to death in the public streets as c warning to their late com panions, and six were selected for inn mediate deportation to Siberia. The wives and children of the exiles were not permitted to speak to them before departing, and nothing was spared that woud be likely to strike terror into the unhappy peasants.
 At Kisherau, the chief place of the province, it is said that not less than twelve persons have died of starvation and penury this month. Not Jews alone, but many Russians have hurried scross the frontier into Roumania in order to escape the severe measures instituted since the outbreak
 There is an alarming amount of typh us fever and other diseases in Vulhynia,
