THAMES FROM ALLEGHENY.
Lewis McMullen Points Out Wherein Lies
tho Safety Of the Nation.


tho Safety of the Nation.
In his speech Lewis McMullen said:
want to thank the citizens of Pittsburg
in the name of the Allegheny School Boards
and children for inviting US to take part in
these exercises. There is no use talking to
you any more about the objects of this day.
The question now is how can preserve
and Keep this glorious Fourth? In answer l
point to the public schools. Therein for all
time to come lies the safety of Independence
Day. We are d great nation, with fabulous
wealth. We owe it all to the schools, tc the
education of the masses.
Nine-tenths of the merchants, farmers and
skilled mechanics we're pupils of the public
schools. The education you received fitted
you to fight the battles of life with any man.
Ignorance is the evil spirit of tyranny. Edu-
cation is the twin sister of the goddess of
liberty. The public school is the blood of
the nation. Destroy it, and the Republic
wouldn't last % years. The levees that keep
the water OF public opinion in the proper
channels are the newspapers. All these IN.
fuences must work together for the good OF
the nation.

HIS STRANGE POWER
Preacher Hamilton Could
 Sway His Flock at Will.
PEOPLE HURT UNDER HIS SPELL.
They Would Rush from Church and Butt
 Their Heads Against Trees.

Hamilton Continues to Deny That He
 Knows Aught of His wife's Death-Im- Portant Clues Found by the POlIoe-HIs Missing Razor Discovered Near tho Spot Where the Woman Was Murdered Concentration at the Funeral.
 FLUSHING, L. l., May 5.-The cloud of mystery that has hung over the finding Of the mutilated body of the young col ored woman, Annie Hamilton, at Win held, L. l., has been dispelled. in the opinion of Coroner Brandon. That off, Ger says he has secured against the woman's husband sufficient evidence to convince any jury that he is guilty of the murder of his wife.
 Coroner Brandon yesterday visited the house in Flushing; where Hamilton for merly lived. He was accompanied by Captain Hotohkiss of Pinkerton's s Agency. In the room occupied by Ham ilton they found shaving cup, but the razor was missing. A razor was found near the body of the murdered woman. The officers ransacked the room and came upon 8 pair of socks which were water stained. The officers think Ham ilton stood in the water while he cut the throat of his victim. They sea rched for the new patent leather shoes that Hamilton was seen to have on when he left the house Sunday night, but did not Ind them. Hamilton says the old shoes he had on when arrested are the only ones he has, and are the same he wore Sunday. .~~
 A reporter called at the home of Mrs. Mary Ella Louise Jenkins, in Locust Grove, settlement near Winfield. She is colored woman of about 45 years, and is bright and intelligent. Having known Hamilton's family for many years, she was able to give @ six etch of his life. She said that he came to Win field six years ago with his first wife, and took charge of the Fisk Avenue Church.
 As preacher he was very powerful, and so worked upon the emotions of the colored people at times that in their ex- citement, they would rush outside and butt their heads against the trees. One of his congregation never recovered from skull wound thus received, and his mind is unbalanced. He seeked to ex- ert sort of spell over the people. Once he told them to fall down before the al- tar, and the entire congregation hastened to obey. The space before the altar is very small, and they all piled up there in heap. Several of them were badly hurt. Women were powerless un- der his spell.
 "Do you think that he is a voodoo?"
 "I have heard him thus spoken of," was the answer. "I know he was very superstitious and had a sign for every thing. I remember how he used to shudder whenever the execution of a murderer was mentioned. The taking of human life,' he once said, is a crime against heaven whether or not it be done in the name of the law"
 The funeral of the murdered woman was held yesterday in Flushing. An inn mense throng attended, and there were as many white people as colored. Mrs. King, Mrs. Hamilton's employer, was one of the many who drove to the scene in handsome equipages. It was a dem- onstration such as Flushing seldom has had at a funeral.

JAok THE RIPPgR ouTooNs.
The Murder of Bars. walaeh. of Chicago Committed by a veritable Fiend.

Committed by veritAbIe Fiend.
 CHICAGO, May 5.-Thomas Walsch, who is in jail for the murder of his aunt, Mrs. Bridget Walsch, whom he so horribly butchered, shows not the least trace of remorse or fear of the conse- quence of his awful deed, and apparent ly has no idea of the enormity of his crime. ..
 The crime is the most atrocious in the criminal history of Chicago. The meth ods of the murderer were those of Jack the Ripper and were more fendish than those of the Whitechapel butcher.
 When Mrs. Walsch's husband, Michael Walsch, a teamster in the employ of the J. v. Farwell Company, came home to supper, he found his wife on the floor, destitute of clothing except a pair of shoes.
 A pair of scissors were sticking up to the hilt through the right breast, and by eItual count there were 65 jagged stabs in her body.
 One great gash across the abdomen all lowed the intestines to protrude, but the most hideous part of the crime was dis covered when 8 portion of a broom han dls three feet long was found protruding from her body.
 This, with wounds about the woman's 8 loins, gave the butchery startling re- semblance to those committed by the Ripper f1end.
 The police were at once notified and soon made the discovery that Thomas Walsch, nephew of the dead woman, had been in the house nearly all the after noon. Walsch was promptly arrested, and when confronted with the evidence of his guilt, confessed the crime. giving complete details of the revolting deed.

CHINESE BILL PASSED.

Report Adopted By tho House and 1t Goes
 to the President
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-The House by @ vote of 1855 to 2S has adopted the con ference vote on the GearY Chinese Ex- clusion bill, which was adopted by the Senate. It now goes to the President.
 MT. Hooker, Democrat, of Mississippi, in opposing the report, said that never was time when the writ of habeas cor pus was denied as in this bill By it the Judge was allowed to imprison the party and deny bail. He desired to record his vote against 1t. It was a direct viola tion of the treaty of 1880.
 MT. Geary, of California, who pre- sented the report, said there was noth- ing in the act which suspended the writ of habeas corpus, nor did it deny the right of bail. The bill simply said the Judge shauld not take bail in the first instance. The bill attempted to stop leaks in the existing laws and left the final settlement of the question to future Congresses.
