JounsTown, Pa., June 4.— Four days have @lapsed since the angel of death swept through the Valley of the Conemaugh, but no ray of sunshine has yet lighted the scene of horror at Johnstown bridge. The sy is still overcast with heavy clouds and the sun reste behind a menacing pall, as though re- luctant to view the handiwork of his potent clements. ‘For thirty-six hours without inter- mission the fire engines have played upon the smoking ruins above the bridge, but the flames that break out afresh at frequent intervals in this floating field of ruins seem to defy the subduing force of water. Nearly 2,000 men are employed in dif- ferent parts of the valley ciearing up the ruins and prosecuting diligent search for the undis- fovered dead, Their investigations are not without fruitful results, for the bodies of the dead and charred victims of flood and fire are discovered with undiminished frequency. It becomes hourly more and more apparent that not a single vestige will ever be recognized of hundreds that were roasted in the flames above the bridge. Since the last sen- tence was penned * party of searchers unearthed a charred and un- sightiy masse from the smoldering debris within thirty yards of the Associated Press headquarters. Unused to such frightful dis- coveries the leader of the gang pronounced the remains to be u blackened log andit re- quired the authoritative verdict of a phy- elan to Gemonstrate that the ghastly dis- covery was the charred remains of a buman being. Only the trunk remained and that was roasted beyond all sembiancg to flesh. Five Nninutes searchrevealed fragments of a skull that at once disintegrated, of its own weight when exposed to air, no single piece being larger than a half dollar and the whole resembling the remnants of shattered charcoal. Within the last hour a dozen discoveries lu no way less horrifying than this ghastly find have been made by searchers as they rake withthe sticks and hooks in the smoking ruins. 80 difficult is it at times to determine whetherthe remains are those of hum beings,that it is apparent that hundreds m. fairly burned to ashes. Thus the number ave found a last rest ing place bene ese ruins can at the best pever be tifire than approximated. A VAST CHARNEL HOUSE. A Pelion of calamity is piled with each pass ing hour here upon the Osea of calamity al- ready uncovered. Every moment now the body of some poor victim is taken from the debris, and the town or the remnants of it, to write with accuracy, is one vast charnel house. The scenes at the extemporized morgues are beyond powers of description in their ghastliness, while the moans and groans of the suffering survivors, tossing in agony with bruised and mangled bodies or scream- ing in delirium of fever as they issue from the numerous temporary hospitals make even the stoutest hearted quail with terror. Nearly two thousand bodies have already been recovered, and as the work of examining the wreckage proceeds, the con- viction grows that the magnitude of the ca- lamity has not yet been approximated. Con- @ servative. estimates this morning put the number of lost at 7,000, and many men of caim judgment and who are not wont to exaggerate, who have been upon the ground from the out- set, place the number at 10,000. The depris wedged against the big Pennsylvania Railroad stone bridge is still burning, and the efforts of the fremen to quench or stay the progress of the flames are as futile as were those of Gulli- vers Lilliputian foemen. The mass, which unquestionably forms a funeral pyre for thou- sands of victims who lie buried beneath it, is burning and is likely to burn for weeks to come. THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE. The flames are not active, but burn away in A tzullen, determined fashion as though bent for once upon proving how futile are man’s efforts when the fire god is around and, perhaps, after all the hand of Providence is in it, for the suggestion made by the physicians yesterday that the bodies be allowed to cremate, in the interest of public health, and which aroused such a storm of indignation among the surviving populace, is viewed with more calmness to-day, and there is agrowing sentiment that that is after all the best solution ofthe problem. Weeks, months will be required to remove the stupendous mass by artificial means, and meantime the ‘ting, putrefying remains of poor humanity ‘ted therein, would be dealing pollution death to all the surrounding country. wful desolation of the scene hag been described often enough already to render a not the attempt here unnecessary. These descriptions have been as truthful and graphic as it is possible for man to make th but none have been adequate, none could be. once stood solid, unbroken business ADDITIONAL DEAD IDENTIFIED.

EDENSBURG, Pa., June 1.—The fast-line trains that leave Chicago at 2:15 and Cincin- nati at 7 p. m. constitute the day express east - ward from Pittsburg, which runs in two sec- tions. This train left Pittsburg on time Friday morning, but was stopped for an hour at Johnstown by reports of a washout ahead. It had been raining hard for over sixteen hours, andthe sides of the mountain were covered with water descending into the val- leys.

The searchers started to work early aud up to 9 o’clock 150 bodies were taken from the ruins. Most ofthem are unrecognizable, but they are being taken away and buried as fast as possible. One of the unfortunate things about the whole affair is that in a vast number of cases where the bodies are almost completely burned there is some clothing or somethin of the kind which makes the identity of the body almost complete. What is needed here to-day more than anything else is grave dig- ers. This morning hundreds of bodies ly- ng around and there was nd one to dig raves. This morning there have been at east filty funeral processions passed the Associated Press headquarters. It was not an unusual sight to see two or three coffins going along one after another, followed bya number of mourners all inthe same family. It is impossible to secure wagons or convey- ances ot any kind, consequgntly all funeral processions are on foot. William Gaffney, an insurance agent at this place, had a very pitiful duty to perform this ing. On his father’s and wife’s side he fourteen relatives, among them his wife family. This morning he got a man to ie deceased relatives to the grave, and he had the mournful duty of digging bis wife's and children’s graves and buryingthem. In speaking of the matter this morning he said: ‘‘I never thought that ] cou)d perform such asad duty, butI hadto doitandIididit. No one has any idea ot the feelings of a man who acts as undertaker, grave digger and pall bearer for his own family.’’ A SAD SCENE. The saddest sicht to be seen on the river bank this morning was the case of Mr. Gil- more, who has lost his wife and family of five children. Ever since the calamity this old man has been seen on the river bank looking for his family. He insisted on the firemen playing a gtream of water on the place where he house formerly stood and where he sup- posed the bodies of bisfamily lay. The fire- men, re nizing hie feelings, — the stream on the place for several hours this morning and at last the rescuers got to the — e old gentieman said his house ormerly stood. ‘*I know the bodies are there, and you must find them. On went therescuers after this plea. When at last one of the men picked up a burned, charred skull, evidently thatof a child, this stirred the old man and he exclaimed: ‘That is my child. There lie my family. Go on and get the rest of them.’’ The workmen continued, and in afew min- utes they came to the remains of the mother and three other children. The heads wee completely burned off, but there was enough of their clothing left to recognize them by. What was left was picked up and placed in coffins, the old gentieman following closely the men who were carrying the coffins, Aer OFFICES FOR THE LIVING. town an ters are being opened in Johns- uested to is- ve information ends.

Pd followed by the Pennsylvanta Railroad for many miles, looked an angry flood nearly bank full. Passengers were interested in seeing hundreds of saw logs and an enormous amount of driftwood shoot rapidly by, and the train pursued its way eastward. At Johnstown there was a long wait, as before stated. The lower stories of many houses were submerged by the slack water, and the inhabitants were looking out of the second-story windows. Horses were standing up to their knees, in water in the streets; aside track of the rafiroad had been washed out; loaded cars were on the bridge to keep it steady, and the huge poles of the Western Unton Telegraph Co., carrying fifteen wires swaying, badly, and several soon went down, The two sections run to Conemaugh, about two miles this side of Johnstown, and lay there about three hours, when they were moved on to the highest ground and placed side by side.

There was an ominous crash and the round-house and locomotive8 disap- peared. Everything in the main train of the flood was first lifted in air and then swallowed up by the waters. A hundred bouses were swept away in a few minutes. These included the hotel, stores and saloons on the front street and residences adjacent. The loco- motive of oneof the traing was struck by a house and demolished. The. side of another house stopped in front of another locomotive and served as a shield. The rear car of the mall train swung around in the rear of the second section of the express and turned over on its side. Three men were observed standing upon it as it floated.

The report was that a bridge had been wasbed out, carrying away one track, and that the other track was unsafe. There was a rumor also that the reservoir at South Fork, some time ago a feeder ofthe Pennsylvania Canal, but latterly the property ofaclub at Pittsburg and used for hunting and fishing, was unsafe and might break. This made most of the passengers uneasy, and they keep a pretty good lookout for informa- tion. The porters of the Pullman cars re- mained at their posts and comforted the pas- sengers with the assurance that the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Co. always took care of its patrons. A few gentlemen and some ladies and children quietly seated themselves, ap- parently contented. One gentleman who was ili had his berth made up and “retired, although advised not to do so. A RACE FOR LIFE. Soon the ory came that the water in the reservoir had broken down the barrier, and was sweeping down the valley. Instantly there wasapanicandarush for the mount- ain side. Children were carried and women assisted by a few who keptcool beads. It was a race for life. There was seen the black head of the flood now, the monster of de- struction, whose crest was high raised in the alr, and with this in view even the weak found wings for their feet, No words can adequately de- the tertor that filled every b or the awfu) power manifested by the The -ho had stalle for broke and the car moved out upon the bosom As it would roll the men would shift their position. The situation was des- perate and they were given up for lost. Two or three hardy men seized ropes and ran along the mountain side to give them aid. Later it was reported that the men escaped over some driftwood as their car was carried near a bank. It is believed there were several women and children inside the car. Of course they were drowned. As the fugitives on the mountain side witnessed the awful devastation, they were moved as never before in their lives. They were powerless to help those seized upon by the waters. The despair of those who had lost everything except life, and the wailing of those whose relatives or filends were missing, filled their breasts with unutterabie sorrow. The rain continued to fall steadily, but shelter was not thought of. Very few passen- gers saved anything from the train, so sudden was the ory ‘‘ran for your lives, the reservoir has broken. TRAINS IN THE WATER. Many were without hats, and astheir bag - gage was left on the trains they were without the means of relieving thelr unhappy condi- tion. The ocoupants of the houses still stand - ing on the high ground threw them open to those who had lost all and to the passengers of the train. During the height of the flood the spectators were startled by the sound of of the waters. repeated at intervals—the last time with tri- umphant vigor, asthe waters were receding from the sides of their locomotives. By 5:30 the force of the reservoir waters had been spent on the village of Conemaugh, and the Pullman cars and locomotives of the section remained unmoved. This was because, being on the highest and hardest ground, the destructive current of the reservoir flood had passed between that and the mountain while the current of the river did not eat it away. But the other trains had been destroyed, A solitary locomotive was seen imbedded in the mud where the round house had stood. As the greatest danger had passed, the peo- ple of Conemaugh gave their thoughts to their neighbors of the city of Johnstown. Here was centered the great steel and iron industries, the pride of Western Pennsylvania, the Cambria Iron Works being known everywhere. Here were churches, daily newspapers, banks, dry goods houses, warehouses and the com fortable well-buiit homes of 12,000 people. What was their fate? In contemplation of the irresistible force that awful flood gath- ered additional momentum as it swept on toward the gulf, it became clear that the city must be destroyed and that unless the inhabitants had telegraphic notice of the breaking of the reservoir they must per- ish. A cry of horror went up from the hundreds on the mountain side and a few instinctively turned their steps toward Johnstown. The oity was destroyed. All the mills, furnaces, manu- factories, the many and varied industries, the Hanks, the residences—all, all were swallowed up before the shadows of night had settled down upon the earth. What of the inhabit-4 tants? Who can tell with any certainty? Those who came back by daybreak said that from 5,000 to8,000 had been drowned. Our hope is that this is an exaggeration, and when the rollis called most will respond. In the light of this calamity the destruction at Cone- maugh sinks into insignificance. THE DEAD. In this latter place they were already bring- ing in the dead on stretchers: How many had deen lost here, at Mineral Point and at South Fork it could not be told and may never be known. There were some passengers and possibly forty or fifty inhabitants. The loss of property is enormous. The track of the railroad company is certainly destroyed for at least ten miles below South Fork, and all other property ofthe company on the line. The destruction of Johnstown industries will alone reach to many millions. Then to this sum add the value of the houses and public buildings in that city. and ofthe villages above and below it, and some idea can be formed of zthe wealth obliterated by the flood created by the breaking of the reser- voir. And this reservoir was maintained for the pleasure ofa Pittsburg club. Upon the mountain was suspended a body of water three miles long, one mile wide and 70 feet deep, forthe recreation of a few pleasure- seekers. What would happen if there should be a break must have been imperfectly apprehended ___ since it is said that a bond of only $3,000,000 had been exacted fromtheclub. What are $3,000,000 to the gross sum for the destruction of property? Oan they restore the dead to life or assume the grief ot the bereaved? The question of moral responsibility swallows up the financial as completely as the angry waters did the city of Johnstown. Many exaggerated stories are current, and these grow as often as they are repeated. It will be many days before the real facts can be approximated. It is feared that John. W. Ealy of 278 and 280 Broadway, New York, was drowned, as he had laid down in his berth but a few minutes before the break, and he was not seen afterwards. It was reported that Mr. Webb, boss carpenter; Mr. Wierman, civil „ and the engineer and who a with Assistant _ : 2 Wanamaker’s Retiring Sale are coming.

It was also reported the ‘*limited’’ that left Chicago Thursday was swallowed and all on board lost. but this is incorrect, as the limited and Atlantic express are both at Altoona. A representative of the Associated Press was on the second section caught at Conemaugh, and after witnessing the worst there procured a team and drove over the mountain to Ebens- burg, a distance of sixteen miles, in the hope of getting off a report by telegraph. The best he could do was to send a few words to the Philadelphia office, saying that the passengers on the train had escaped. If these got beyond the break at Tyrone there are less anxious hearts in distant cities. What lies west o Johnstown is enveloped in impenetrable ob- scurity. ORDER OUT OF CHAOS. Mayor Pro Tem Moxham and His Noble Work—Greedy Store- Keepers. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 4.—Moxham, the iron manufacturer,is Mayor pro tem of Johns- town to-day. He is probably the busiest man in the United States, although for days with- out sleep he still sticks nobly to his task. Hundreds of others are like bim, men fall to the earth from sheer fatigue. There are many who have not closed an eye in sleep since they awoke on Friday morning. They are a hollow-eyed, pitiful looking lot. Many have lost near relatives, and all friends. Men and horses is what is most needed to-day. Some of the unfortunates who could not go to the relief trains endeavored to obtain flour from the wrecked stores in Johnstown. One dealer was charging $5 a sack for flour, and was getting itin one or two cases. Suddenly the crow heard of the occurrence, and several desperate men went to the store and doled the flour gratuitous! to the homeless and stricken. nother dealer was selling flour at $1.50a sack. He refused to give any away, but would sell it to any one who had the money. Otherwise he would not allow anyone to go near it, guarding his store with a shotgun. SUPPLY WAGONS ATTACKED. The Hungarians attacked a supply. wagon between Morrelivilie and Cambria City to-day. The drivers of the wagon repulsed them, but they again returned. A second fight ensued, but after a lively scramble the Hungarians were again driven away. After that drivers and guards of supply wagons were permitted to go armed. RAILROAD TRAFFIC IMPROVED. The Chamber of Commerce has made ar- rangements with the Baltimore & Ohio Rall road to transfer passengers from Johnstown to 224 free of charge. A train packed so full that it was impossible to obtain stand- ing room on the platform left last night. The faces atthe windows expressed nothing but relief as the train drew out of the ill-fated city. The Tariff Club’s relief train from Pittsburg lay on the Baltimore & Ohio to-day, and did more good than any that has yet ar- rived. Trainson the Pennsylvania road can- not reach as many sufferers as those on the Baltimore & Ohio. Coroner MeDowell was with the train and worked hard.

Men were at work all day _ yester- day cleaning the dam out, and this morning thecompany had 600 men at work, Gen. Hastings was seen later ln the day and when asked what caused him to order out the min- tia, sald: N There is no need of troops to quell any disturbance, but nowthere are at least 2,000 men at work in Johnstown clearing up the debris, and I think that it will not hurt fito have the Fourteenth Kegiment here, as they can guard the banks and all valuables. The Sheriff consulted me in the matter. He stated his nen were about worn out and he thought that we had better have some sol- diers.

Hastings in an interview this morning stated that he wished to deny stories published in certain newspapers to the effect tliat there had been some wholesale lyneh- ook and rioting here since Sunday. Said he: ‘*These reports are utterly devoid of truth and will only injure the papers that publish them. Any one here knows that there is no truth in these statements, but the people away from here have no means of ob- taining information only through the news- 2 Ithink there is enough truth to tell — without publishing false and sensational stories. DEEDS OF HEROISM,. The Dauntless Courage Irhibit i by the Gentler Sex. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 4.—The sad story of Conemaugh is not withoutits deeds of hero- ism. The appalling scenes of horror devel- oped daring courage where least expected, while every day heroes in the midst of the terrifying scenes usually de- generated into arrant cowards, Those who viewed the frightful scenes of fire and flood, agree that the hopelessness of the situa- tion was first fully realized by women, and that bythe tender sex was exhibited that dauntiess courage which is born of resigna-. tion. Mothers coolly sacrificed themselves to the fury of the or fire save the lives of their children and loved ones. Not infrequently some pale-faced woman, clinging with ber child to floating debris and realizing that the support was too frail for two, would be seen to litt precious burden high upon the floating debris, and with’ a hasty kiss, bidding farewell to all that bound her to the world, sink beneath the inky waves.

Every one that has seen the statue and its surroundings is firmly convinced the incident was a miraculous one, and even to the most skeptical the affair savors of the supernatural. An Indemnity Bond. Jonestown, Pa., June 4.—It is reported that the Sporteman’s Association, which owned the South Fork dam, was compelied to file an indemnity bond of $8,000,000 before their charter was issued. When the bill granting them these privileges was béfore the Legislature, the Representatives from Cambria and Blair Counties vigorously op- posed its passage and only gave way, itis said, upon condition thatsuch an indemnify- ing bond was filed. This bond was filed with the Prothonotary of Cambria County. Father Boyle of Ebeusburg said records at the county seat had no trace of such a bond. He found the record of the charter, but nothing of the bond. Asthe association is known to be composed of very wealthy peo- ple there is much talk here of their being compelled to pay at least a part of the dam- ages. TWENTY TO FORTY. The Number of Train Passengers Lost in the Flood. Jonmmsrowx, Pa., June4.—It is now defin- itely settled that at lemt from twenty to forty people were loston the two sections of the Gay express that let Pittsburg at 8 a. m. Friday, andthe Jshnstown accommoda.- tion that was about t leave Johnstown that afternoon. There heve been numerous con- fiicting reports abow how many trains were caught in the flood, out from most reliable sources it has beer ascertained that three trains were caugh by the water. Mr. Ed- ward N. McCullough of the West Moreland Coal Co. was awoöng the passengers on the Gay express eas’ on Friday morning. He states positively -bat there were two sections of the day expres and the Johnstown accom- modation caugb in the flood. Said he: It is my opision that at least twenty peo- ple were drowned from the trains, in fact I can count that many myself. And the death rate may go a high as forty. There was one arlor car ani three sleepers on the express. We did not kaow of the flood untilabout thirty seconds befcre it was upon us. We heard the whistiing of the engines, and all who could ran to the fills. Among the passengers were oungiadies, one of whom, I think, lives in Pittsbu*e, and another who had been visit- ing in Pitaburg lives ig New Jersey.

T. DeWitt Talmage on the Great Cone- maugh Disaster. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New Tonk, June 4.—The WORLD this morn- ing prints the following from Rev. Mr. Tal- mage’s pen, as an introduction to its story of the Conemaugh disaster: The woe and aggregate. The flames embrace the fleods. The doomed valley becomes an uncovered sep- ulchre, on which the filthy vultures swept. The five hundred lives lost at Johnstown be- comes the five thousand and the five thousand have become the ten thousand and the ten thousand have become fifteen thousand, and the horror rises with every day and hour, until the nation is in an agony of sympathy. The two elements of water and fire are in contention as to which shall do the worst. Though water to putout the fire and enough fire to lick up the water, they interlock their forces to destroy. In the mountain of debris are many of the dead. Surgeons and health officers cry: Let the fires burn until the bodies are cre- mated and so the valley be kept free from the Parnes that must come if these bodies are eft to dissolution in the open air.’’ No, no cry out husbands and wives, fathers and mothers and children. ‘‘Let the engines play upon the flames and the fires be ut out and we get back the forms of our oved ones for one more look before they go out of sight forever. Let our white hands of grief bury them, and not the red hands of conflagration.’’ If l were a physician in that stricken valley! would say, Let cremation go on.“ If I had one of my household in the ruin I would say, Put out the fire.’’ LEAVE ALL TO GOD. I will tell you what we have to do, and that is, leave all to God. This is a calamity too big for human management. The angels of destruction are presiding at the obsequies. Thank God, the souls have gone free, and the waters cannot drown them and the fires can- not burn them. But while water and fire are raging in con- troversy as to which shall make the wretched- ness, another combat more astounding goes on between heaven-descended charity and Giabolism. While Christian relief with food and medicine comes upon the scene it is con- fronted with demons who are robbing the dead. From the swollen fingers of beauty and love the rings are torn and the pockets of the dead are rified. Maythere be shot and ropes enough on the ground to hang or shoot them all. No judge or jury. or trial are appropriate for such incarnate fiends. They ought not to be allowed to live an bour. Away with them from the face of the earth— the quicker the better. Did ever such opposites meet on any scene of calamity—charity and ruffianism, angel and devil, rescue and loath- someness? Why is it multitudes are crying? Why is it that all this has come upon those beautiful valleys and that these multitudes are 80 awfully siain? Let no one say: ‘It was a judgment of God upon that people,’’ as so often is said in regard to such disasters. No, there are no better people under the sun than those last riday slain. I have been in their bomes and 1 knew them well. Besides that, there are hundreds of townsand cities by their iniqul- ties inviting the divine 1 who were never struck with lightning or washed under inexorabie waves. If Brooklyn and New York had been punished for ail their sins the Hudson and East Rivers would now stand higher than the piers of the East River bridge and the blue fish would be holding high car- nival in our dining halls and pantries. Be careful how you try to handle the thunder- bolts of the Almighty. God spare our homes, our cities, our nation, from any repetition of such horrors. fan that Conemaugh River be the one I have seen pronouncing its gentle benediction upon the farms and homes on either side of it? Some demon of the pit must have seized upon it. With hands despoiled and wrathful, it has clutched for all it could reach. Come with me it cried to the homes, the churches, the villages, the cities, Come with me in my midnight revels and dance with death and darkness and woe. The Johnstown disaster will be set down in history beside the three or four greatest dis- asters ofthe nineteenth century. Since the chaotic flood that stood 15 cubits above the highest mountains there have been very few deluges to equal it. Now, upon this modern deluge, let the ark of our sympathies sail. T. DeWrrt TALMAGE, No. 1 South Oxford street, Brooklyn, 11:15 p. m., June 3, 1889. * — — Mrs. Lew Waliace’s Whereabouts. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTou. NEW YORK, June 4.—Gen. Lew Wallace is very anxious concerning the safety of his wife. That lady left Indianapolis last Thurs- day and since that time he has not heard from her. He has telegraphed to many points without avail and yesterday he learned that the train which bore his wife might have been caught somewhere in the food which worked such awful bavoc. It is hardly possible that any — ru could have befallen all the pas- sengers of that train without something hay- ing been heard about it by this time, but it is altogether probable thatthe train has been stalled somewhere on the other side of Johns- town.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—This morning at8o’tlock Hon. Matt G.

He has taken a number of scalps to- day, resultin in the appointment of John 8. Burnside as Poste master at Marion, R. M. Grant at Arrow Rock, John Guger at Shackleford and C. W. Cully at New Franklin. Some where in the delayed mails he bas a list of pension surgeons for Sedalia, Slater and Marshall, Mo., which will be . by Commissioner Tanner on ar- rival. Maj.

Hanney of Versailles as Superintendent of the Document Room of House and Col. Switzler, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics. These places he wants reversed and to-morrow hé will call upon Secretary Noble and get him to do what he can to assist him toward these changes. Hon. A. C.

Here is a letter giv- ing me general supervision over the interests of the station and the personnel.’’ The letter was a sensation. It was an order Geese the observer in charge, over Lieut. Vatkins. Such an order is an unusual thing in a military service, an order placing asub- ordinate in charge, over asuperior. It was as follows: SIGNAL SERVICE, U. S. ARMY. WASHINGTON, D. C., November 23, 1888. Second Lieutenant R. B. Watkins, Signal Corps, St. Louis, Mo. Py Sin—The Chief Signal Officer personally directs me to inform you thatvhe is not satisfied with the con- duct and management of the work at St. Louis and has determined to make certain changes in the interests, amg e believes, of better service. He therefore orders me to direct you to transfer to the observer at Mat station the entire station prop- erty, for which yoa are responsible, as also the man- agement of hegen, and to inform you that 1 future you will be &xpected to exercise only a general supervision over the interests of the service aud that you will personally, superintend the preparation of the blackboard. map or maps at the exchanges or other pubiics institutions where they are at present made. You are also directed to personal]! draw the isobars and isotherms upon these maps, an do such additional work in connection therewith as a | best facilitate their issue. Should you deem it advisable to have any change made in the mode ef carrying on the work at the St. Louis station, you will communicate your views, in writing, to the observer in charge of the station, and to him will be left the subsequent action in the case. Should you, however, deem it important, you are authorized to communicate to tne Chief Signal Offi- cer, atany time, your special views, either regard- ing change of work atthe station or the personnel thereat, ovér which you will be expected to exercise a general supervision. Iam, very respectfully, JAS. MITCHELL, 2d Lieut. Sig. Corps, Assistant and Stations Ufficer. WEBEK GETS THE BEST OF IT. Capt. Wint reati-the letter carefully a sec- ond time and said: ‘‘The observer is under- stood to be Sergt. Weber?’’ ‘*Yes,’’ replied Lieut. Watkins. That let- ter referred to Ghappel, but Sergt. Weber suc- ceeded him. The officers c the court moved in their seats. Capt. Wint smiled, and Capt. Rucker folded his arms on the desk and laid his head on them. Have you any questions you desireto ask, Mr. Marshall?’’ Tes, Ihave some written out., In answer to thege questions, Lieut. Watkins said behad been inthe Signal Service for fifteen years, and in that time he had been private, corporal,. sergeant and lieutenant. A number of quégtions were put concerning the dates when 5 t. Chappel left and Seret. Weber took charge, and when Lieut. Watkins was commissioned and similar matters. The court listened attentively and the of- ficers concealed as well as they could how much they were bered. Lieut. Rucker was suppressing a smile. Some one passed the building and shouted, ‘‘Ho, there!! It was an excuse for the Lieutenant and he laughed. Capt. Wint asked apt. Wallace for a pencil. Capt. Wallace threw itoverand it rolled on the floor. The swords-rattied as the court dove under the table for that pencil. Wat kins smiled and wenton with a description ofthe quarters. Then the question was asked: ‘‘Has it ever been the custom for privates or non-commis- sioned efficers in the Signal Service to rise on the approach of a superior officer, or when spoken to by a superior officer?’’ „elt has not been, answered Lieut. Wat- kins flatly. When you entered the office did yon not find Sergt. Weber at one side of a double desk at work?’’ **I was there when Sergt. Weber came in. Did you not address him pleasantly and take your seat at the other side of the desk?’’ J was in there when he came in. After speaking to Sergt. Weber pleasantly didn’t you say Stand up,’ and isn’tit true that you then told Sergt. Weber to move his things; that he sat down to take them from the drawer; that you said stand up’ and he replied, ‘lam moving my things, as you or- dered me to. ; Capt. Wint objected to the question on the ound that it was leading. Mr. Marshall and leut. Broughton both said a leading ques- lion could be put to a witness for the other side on cross-examination. Capt. Wint still ohjected and Mr. Marshall prepared a written argument. The objection was recorded. The court was then cleared on motion of Lieut. Rucker to consider the questions. WATKINS WAS VEXED. When the doors openeti the Judge Advocate announced that the objection was not sus- tained, and the questions could be answered. Lieut. Watkins then repeated what be said in an interview in the Post-DISPATCH, giving his statement of the occurrence. ‘*‘Ign’t it a fact, was asked, that you were excited and an uh „I was not excited. Of course 1 was angry. I was vexed by his insubordinate conduct as I consideredit unwarranted.’’ Is is not a fact that the Sergeant’s letter to the Chief Signal Officer and not his delay in leaving the room made you angry?’’ Judge Advocate Broughton objected on the ground that it was an — to de into the passion of an offiéer who was d 2 his duty, and it impeached his motives w those motives had not been assailed. The question was ruled out. Mr. Marshall then asked: Did you at any time after the 6th of May send Private G to Sergt.

When the doors were opened the Judge Advo- cate read the letter of the Chief Signal Officer giving Sergt. Weber his choice between re- signing or standing his trial. Then Lieut. Watkins said: On account of that letter and as he was a married man, an as I had no ill-feeling in the matter, and as I wished himto get ontof the trouble he had brought upon himself as easily as possible, I with therkindness of Private Gray told him thut if he would ask the Chief Signal Officer to change the decision as stated in that letter and reduce him to the ranks I would try and get him readpointed or reinstated as a sergeant after a while, as I thought that would be sufficient fpunishment, There was nothing of a compromise in my ac- 11ons.

Some ofthe Many Late Improve- ments in the Town Across the River. A Gystem of Street Improvements That Will Equal Anything in the State—Educational Advantages and the New Principle on Which the Public Schools Are Or- ganized—Projects for Hotels and a New Opera-House—The Police and Fire De- partments Under the New Administration ~—fome Rallway Magnates Looking for Rights of Way—Free Water Offered to Meeufacturing Enterprises of All Kinds ~Advantages of East St. Louis as a Site for Such Business— Mayor Stephens Now in New York About the Debt Question— Evidences of Success as Shown on Every AYOR M. M. Steph- ens of East St. Louis left Sunday evening for New York for the purpose of making a settlement with Hopkins, Sidnell & LMurtaush, who hold " gome of the city’s bonds. The settle- ment to be made by the Mayor will con- sist in turning over tothe above named creditors of the city about $65,000 of the new city bonds. This transaction is a very im- portant one in the history of East St. Louls, because it practically dispeis the cloud which has long hung over the city, threat- ening financial trouble, and opens an era of ess and prosperity, The necessity of Mayor Stephens going to New York to ex- change the new bonds for the old liabilities was brought about through a disagreement between Hopkins Sidnell & Murtaugh’s agents, Grant & Grant of Dubuque, Io., and their attorneys of record, Connelly & Mather of Springfield, III., as to the amount the latter were to receive for their services. The city Was ready to settle with Hopkinset al. some time ago, but the dispute between Hopkins agents and their attorneys caused a delay. When Hopkins learned of the turn matters bed taken in Springfield he notified Mayor Stephens to come on to New York and he would make a direct settlement there ignor- moring his agents entirely. Connelly & Mather in some way learned of Hopkins’ writ- ten declaration to the Mayor, and they at one went into the United States Court at Springfield and secured an order restraining the city from settling as contemplated. An order restraining the city of Kast St. Louls from settling was a very novel thing. In fact, nothing like it had ever been known by the oltisens before. Mandamus orders compelling the city to pay, were about the only orders which the citizens had knowledge of through experience previously. The city government, however, was anxious to make a settlement without delay, and accordingly Special City Oounselor Felix M. Oockrell was sent to Springfield for the purpose of having the in- junction dissolved. Thishe had no trouble in Going, a representation of the facts being ali that was necessary to have Judge Allen authorize Mayor Stephens to go on to New York and make the settlement with Hopkins et al. as soon as he desired. When Hopkins, Sidwell & Murtaugh have the new bonds of the city in ex- Shane for the old obligations, the principal tors of the olty will have been satisfied. will still be some of the old bonds out- standing, but these will be in the hands of individuals, and in no very great te.

Many progress of East St. Louis givés assurance that, with her affairs properiy managed as they are being at present, and undoubtedly will be henceforth, the bonds just issued will be redeemed at the expiration of the time for which they were issued. The management of the debt in the admira- ble manner elucidated has not however been the only benefit which East St. Louls has re- ceived from good government. Its improve- ments have been rapid and substantial. Re- cently the city decided to abandon its old charter, which prevented it from securing many benefits, andin reality assured it few rivileges, and adopted the general law. Inder the general law the city, which was formerly composed of only four wards, was redistricted and divided into seven wards. The rt as shown by the census, ap- roximated 18,000. Under the general law the ayes is elected for four years instead of two, and the Council is composed of fourteen Al- bt. One of the great dermen instead of ei uisin the past was drawbacks of East St. the fact that there was nothing permanent about ite government, and the Council being composed of so few members, the forma- tion of close rings was the inevitable resuit. It is unnecessary to say how disas- trous to advancement and prosperity the con- centration of power toa few in a city govern- ment may become. Few cities have not bad the deplorable experience of ring rule. With fourteen men in the Council the organization of — clique for spolls purposes has become practically impossible, andthe result is that men whose only desire to become members of the city’s legislative body is for what they could make by doing so have lost the incentive which once impelled them to strive after the office, and honorable, honest, practical business men who are representa- tive of the city’s best interests are selected to manage its affairs. Such a radical change in the Government might well be expected to be productive of improvement inthe city, and it certainly bas been. East: St. Louis, on account of ite railroad facilities, which are hardly second to any city in the United States, large or small, has always deen one of the most advantageous locations in the Mississippi Valley for manufacturing estab- lishmente and industries of this class. These had been kept ont heretofore owing to fear of the financial condition of the city and lack of contidence in the government, but they are more rapidly seeking this favorable site. THE LATEST INDUSTRY of importance which has been located there is a new foundry of Shickle, Harrison & How- ard, which when opened will it is said afford employment to located vators; the Little Rolling Mills, which are di- minutive only in name; the stock yards, in which are several immense pork-packing es- tablishments, are among its other principal industries. The City Water Co. offers water free for five ears to all mauu- facturing firms which will locate there. Some time ago an ordinance was passed to raise the grade of the city to the grade adopted in 1858. Saturday an ordinance was passed to grade and pave Broadway with granite, in ac- cordance with the grade of 1 This will necessitate the ruising of the street five feet in some places. Nearly all the substantial structures on the thoroughfare, however, were. built on the grade of 188, so that it will not necessitate their being raised. The paving with granite will be from the railroad tracks tothe Rock Road a distance of 1,700 feet. Thie is only the begin- ning of STREET IMPROVEMENT. The paving of Missouri avenue with granite and of Collinsville avenue will foliow in the near future. The streets will of course be raised to the standard grade before being im- proved. The levee for a distance of over a mile was paved 9 about a year ago at a cost of 1120, 000. As soon as the aving of Broadway with granite s completed, it is the intention of the council to erecta fine iron bridge over the railroad tracks. Plans for this bridge have already been received. Its estimated cost will be 80, 000. The cost ofthe bridge and of all street improvements will be defrayed by special as- sessment on those benefited. ‘he railroad companies which bave aright of way across Broadway will pay the major ortion of the cost of the bridge. everal street car companies are anxious to build a line from the Seventh Ward which is the ex- treme northeastern part of the city, over such Streets as the Council may see fit, to the bridge approach as soon as the bridge over the tracks on Broadway is completed. It is believed that the right of way for such com- pany as the city may give the use of the streets to, can also be seo clear across the bridge. If this is accomplished people living near the limite of the —— can Tide to Third and Washington avenue in st Louis for one fare. The Broadway bridge neoross the tracks will extend on the east to the 1 Bank, aud on the west to Johns street. East St. Louis had long been in need of a hospital. Recently this want was supplied in a manner which has made the citizens fee) St. Henry's congregation pur- an admirable site and a fine three-story brick structure with all modern improvements. It has beon placed in charge ofthe Franciscan Sisters, who are famed as nursers of the sick. The structure without the furniture or hospital furnishings cost $15,000. It is fitted up in first olass- style and it ie a great credit to the city. A FIRST-CLASS HOTEL to cost $50,000 will be one of the improve- ments of the near future. The demand for an opera-houss is such that the erection of one which will be a credit to the city can safely be predicted. Owing to its centrai location and the great number of railroads which have their term pals there East St. Louis is more easy of ac- cess than any other city of Southern Illinois and consequentiy is a most favorable place for the holding of conventions. With an opera-house which will be suitable for such occasions all the large gatherings which ars now held in the various cities of Egypt can be seoured for East St. Louis. EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS in Kast St. Louis has been equal to the better- ment of municipal affairs. ecently the pnb- lic schools were established on a new bas. The oid school buildings which were rei ted were given up and new structures which are unquestionably the most complete szhool bulldings in Southern Lllinois were er Forme i were seven public schools in East St. Louis, They were located in diliap- dated and badly ventilated buildings and one of them was inthe basement of a church. Now the seven schools have been concen- trated in four buildings. Two fine-apj caring three-story pressed-brick buildings of twelve school rooms and ei recitation rooms each Broadway The amount which they cost will be nearly covered by the $65 , 000 obtained from the city on a judgment ob- tained for license money which previous gov- erninents to the ohe now in power had uni- formly neglected to pay over. The Howe In- stitute Building is also being fitted up for a high and sixth grade school. The fourth schoo! isfor the colored people. It is a substan- tial four-room brick building,and cost $14,000. The amount of money collected each year to run the schools is 885, 000 exciusive of the State tax, which amounts to 48 cents for every child. When the present School Board, which is composed of Gustav Lehman, President, Dr. J. L. Wiggins, Aibert Keechler, Dennis Rush, Daniel Sul ivan, W. A. Dill and Joseph Vonnahme, came into power there were only three teachers, besides the principals, in all the schools, who beld first grade certificates. When the schools open next September there will be only five teachers who will not have first grade certificates, and these five have not got them simply because they have not resided in the State for two years, which is one of the requirements to secure such cer- tiflcates. The Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Frank V. Rafter, who is recognized as an able educator, receives $1,680 a year. The princ!- als are paid 306 a month and first assistants 2 There are thirty-nine teachers in the schools. The Island district, which is a part of the city, isrun entirely separate from the district which comprises the city proper. The Douglas school on the Island is a hand- some two story brick structure and cost $20,- 000. The school is conducted by a competent corps of teachers. One of the greatest improvements made in the government of East St. Louis has been in ITS POLICE FORCE which under the penagemens of Chief Mike Walsh has established a good reputation throughout the State for efficient work. It is composed of twenty-seven men, two-thirds of this number are worked at night. A patrol wagon bas been used for some time and soon a very complete system of com- munication isto be putin. It is the same sys- tem used in Chicago. Boxes will be placed on every square in the city and all the officers and those reputable citizens who wish it, will be givenakey. In these boxes is a small handle like that attached to a district messen- ger box. It can be pulled across a steel dial on which is marked at intervais: Police wagon, telephone, thieves,riot,test of line,fire. When this bandle is pulled opposite the point indi- cated by the printed word“ riot“ for instance, the ticker in the Chief's office indicates d dots exactly the cause for which assistance is demanded. There is also a telephone in the box and each officer is obliged to call up for lnstruct ions every half hour. Every key given to a citizen is numbered, and the lock is so arranged that when it is opened byakey of the pattern which citizens have the key cannot be again extracted untilan officer comes along and by inserting his key in another hole releases that of the citizen. Thus it can be determined with what citizen’s key the alarm was turned on. Chief Walsh said last evening, in cofversa- tion with a Post-DisPaTCH reporter, that he made it a point to work hand in hand with the St. Louis police, and in that wav both were enabled to do better work. The East St. Louis olice in the past year had made quite a num- Per of good captures on description, but the total number of arrests for offenses committed in the city was very much less than it was two ears ago, notwithstanding the city’s increase n population. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT is well equipped and is under the direction of Chief of Police Walsh. The insurance mea are so well satisfied with its work that the zate of insurance will probably be reduced. A BIG SALE. It will be news of interest to East St. Louis ans that ‘‘Pecan Grove“ has been by J. T.

SPRINGFIELD, III., June 4.—The Governor to-day struck a hard blow atthe Yerkes Cable car combination in Chicago by filing a veto against the bill to authorize horse and dummy reilroad companies to change their motive power. He alleges that such changes ought to be made only with the consent of the yeople along the line of such roads and through the immediate action of the munictpal authorities, and that an attempt to accomplish the end by coming away from the people interested and obtaining the authorit from the Legisiature, is suspiciousin itself.

The Right of Two Competing Firms to Use a Similar Term to Desiguate Their Busi- ness Discussed in a Very Interesting Mat- ter—End of a Very Hard Fight—A Calen- dar Question Settied for a Time. HE Court of Appeals rendered a decision to- day which will interes, all merchants engaged -in a business where their competitors in- corporate the name of the business besides y the name of the incor- porators in the firm name. It is in the case ofthe Plant Seed Co. against the Michel Plant Seed Co. It was tried by Judge Barclay, appealed, reyersed and remanded, tried over again and the conclusion arrived at in the second trial was affirmed to-day. The Plant Seed Co. applied to court to make the Michel Plant Seed Co. change its name, as it was organized laterand diverted trade by the name adopted. The Court of Appeals says: „This is not a trade-mark case butis one ofa kindred nature and depends to a great extent for a proper solution on the applica- tion of the same equitable principles. When a person or business corporſtion in the same line of business or has adopted a name that so closely resembies that of a business rival previously establisned that the business of the other company is liable to be diverted, and the public deceived on ac- count of it, it has always been recognized as within the power of jurisdiction of a court of equity to restrain such person or new com- pany from conducting business under the name assumed to the detriment of the older company. But when the conduct of the party complained of is that merely ofa fair competitorin thesame line of business and the name assumed is not such would lixely mislead ordinary purchasers in buying, then a court of equity will not interfere. We think we are justified, both upon prin- ciple and authority in the assertion, that in a caseof the kind, a complainant should be required to establish the facts war- ranting such relief, by very satisfactory proof; because courts are Men mucn disinclined in any way to interfere with or discourage com- petition in trade.’’ This case is doubly complicated by the fact that two members of the older firm are named **Plant’’ and they sell plants and plant seeds. The defendant’s name is H. Michel and he also sells plants and plant seeds; The de- fendant was formerly ‘‘The Michel Bros.,’’ but in 1875 changed the firm name to the „Michel Plant & Seed Co., which the orig- inal Plants claim was done to pirate and con- cocted for an uniawful purpose. They asked thatthe defendant be restrained from using its corporate name, the word Plant 1 U a art of the name the words Plant & Seed’’ as now used. Continuing farther in the decision it reads: „We have no disposition to in any way modify the former opinion of this court as to the law governing this case. The word ‘plant’ is one of very common use, and may very properly be used to designate a business, and because the Plant family’ were the founders of plaintiff’s business and its prin- cipal stockholders affords no reason why de- fendant could not use the wo designate ite business, provided ‘done for an honest urpose. and “with the same proviso, the defendant had the rightto adopt its present corporate name. We do not think that the resembiance between the two corporate names is sufliciently close to raise a probability of mistake on the part of the public, or show adesign or intention to decelve by defendant.’’ The adjustment of costes and the judg- ment of the lower court is affirmed. MINOR DECISIONS. In the case of Antonia Cangas against L. M. Rumsey Manufacturing Co. the judgment of the lower court was reversed and judgment entered for defendant. Court adjourned until 10:30 o’clock next Tuesday morning, when it is expected the — ot the court will be finished for this rm. A Calendar Question. Judge Dilion sustained a demurrer this morning in the suit of the Stephens Litho- graphing Co. against August Gast Bank Note & Lithographing Co. The suit is over the sale of the lithograph known as ‘'Purity’’ or ‘‘Love’s Offering,’’ a picture of a handsome brunette dressed in white taking a bunch of forget-me-not flowers from the beak 0 1 dove perched in front of her. These calendars made their appearance last fall, and the Stephens Lithographing Co. claimed the Gast Litho- grapvb Oo. stole the idea, and by under- selling them damaged their business to the extent of $10,000. They claimed to have had the picture painted by a famous artist, and the defendant alleges that the photographs ean be found in any city of 12 or this country. and that the original of the lithograph is none other but Mile. Adele Martens, a reat actress in Vienna, Germany. The de- endants led a demurrer to the piaintiff’s pe- tition, saying it did not state sufficient cause ot action. In ruling on the demurrer, Judge Dillion said he was of the opinion the de- murrer should be sustained. Ido not think the petition states a case of infringement of trade-mark. Indeed I am not sure that the counsel for plaintiff claim that it does. The female figure or vignette cannot, I think, be suid to haye been used by viaintiff to desig- nate or mark the calender published by it. It was a part ot the thing published and the most 1 pers indeed it was the only of the pub- ication to which any spes significance or value is attached.

Plain- tiff has no right to prevent any person from manufacturing and selling the same thing that plaintiff makes and sells, or a thing looking exactly like the thing plaintiff manufactures and sells. Plaintiff claims no right by reason of any patent right or copy- right under the statutes in relation to same, In Farina vs. Sherlock, 6 De Gep., M. and G., page 218, the court uses the following lan guage: ‘**The law is perfectly clear that anyone who has adopted a particular mode of desig- nating his particular manufactare has a right to say, ‘not that other persons shall not sell exactly the same article, better or worse, or an article looking exactly like it, hut that * shall not sell it in such a way as to steal his trade-mark and make purchasers believe that it is the manu- facture to whicinthat trade-mark was origin- ally applied.“ It the view I take is correct, that the figure which defendantecopied was not a mark or sign to indieam a thing made and sold by plaintiff, but uns a part of the thing itself, then what defeudant did was not to copv or imitate a mark or symbol used Dy plaintiff to designate its manufacture, but to make and sellthe sünſe thing that plaintiff had made and 1 a thing looking exactly like it. This it would seem under the law it had the rigut to do. The demurrer will be sustained. 5 Granted a Divorce. Judge Valliant granted a decree of divorce this morning to Emma C.

Upon that day the practical opera- tions of this beautiful charity will be put in mo- ticn ana over 2,000 poor children of thecity of St. Louis will be given a ride to Forest Park, there to spend a happy day mid nature’s surroundings. The date of the initial excursion was fixed at the meeting of the mem bers of the Board of Management of the PosT-DISPATOH Forest Park Mission, held in the rooms of the Mercantile Club, at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, with Messrs. N. O. Nelson, Thomas Morrison, D. R. Wolfe and Dr. Elmer Lee in attendance. The meeting was a most interesting one. At the last meeting it had been decided that the question of suitable shelter was a serious one and steps were taken toward the erection ofa number of summer houses or booths. Mr. N. O. Nelson reported that through the influence of Park Commissioner Klemm, who is in active sympathy with the move- ment, it is almost definitely assured that the city will defray the cost of the erection of four substantial and ORNAMENTAL SHELTER HOUSES, each with a capacity of some six hundred persons. These buildings will be erected in various parts of the grounds, and it is ex- pected that work will be commenced in that direction within the coming week. Plans and specifications have already been drawn up and the structures promise to be a credit to both the city and the Mission. A suitable space will be set apart in each for the storage of baskets, wraps, and other articles too cumbersome for carriage and a trustworthy watchman will be placed in charge. The committee having in charge the print- ing and distribution of the tickets for the excursions will meet this after- noon at the office of Dr. Elmer Le to perfect arrangements in this direction. It has been definite) determined that the charitable workers of the Associated Charities shall superintendent this department of the works and it could not have been laced in better or more competent ands. Forsome time it Was thought advis- able to issue tickets good for one excursion each week for a month, butthe scheme was found to be inadvisable, and the tickets to be issued will de good for one exeursion on day and date stamped on the back. Should in- clement weather interfere or the holder ö application to the worker from whom the pass was origin- ally received. The city has been divided into THREE DISTRICTS for working purposes. The Central District, all that portion of the ci lying between Chouteau avenne and Franklin avenue, will be first favored, and the inaugural excursion will ca out children living-within that dis- trict. The little ones from the Southern Dis- trict, between Chouteau avenue and Arsenal street, Will then be selected, and th tween Franklin avenue and avenue will ast. sion will strictly red to in every particular. The mission will be conducted upon business principles ana this plan seems to have met withthe greatest ap- robation at the hands of the majority of ose at all interested in the matter.

The affray took placein the saloon of Louls Bartfeldt, northwest corner of Franklin avenue and Seventeenth street, late yesterday afternoon. At that hour Mrs. Nellie Walters, the wife of Henry Walters, a carpenter living at 1927 Franklin avenue, accompanied by Louls Dieffenbach and Charles Bucher, and proceeding to a table at which were seated Bartfeldt and Kelly, she pointed her finger in Kelly’s face and in an excited manner accused him of defaming her character. A, war of words at once ensued, Kelly insitting that the woman was mistaken, At this juncture Dieffenbach stepped forwara and said: And this man did Walters?’’ es, sir; he did,’’ was the answer from the indignant littl@woman. Without waiting for further parley Dieffen- bach, who was a stalwart young chainmaker, advanced upon Kelly and struck him a pow- erful blow behind the ear. Kelly fell to the floor, and as he rose he was again felled by the assailant. Dieffenbach then stepped back to allow Kelly to regain his feet, which op- portunity the beaten man improved and scrambled to his feet. Without a moment’s hesitation, as if determined on hia action, he OHN S.

He inconsequence taken whohly by surprise and be- fore he could turn to flee the fatal shot struck him and be staggered toward the bar. Recovering himselfina minute he reeled to the door and fell insensible, dying almost immediately. Acrowd at once congregated and it was feared for the time that the excited people would excercise violence upon Kelly, but wiser counsel pre- vailed. Kelly was disarmed and was soon be- hind the bars of the Third District Station. The body of the-deceased was removed to the Morgue and the relatives notified of his un- timely end. Atan early bour this morning Kelly was re- moved to the Central District Station, where he was seen by, a Post-DISPATCH reporter. When asked to make an extended statement in vindication of his action he said KELLY'S STATEMENT. »I am not prepared totell everything I know at present, but after the inquest is held andllearn what the witnesses are going to swear to, I may say more, My name is John S. Kelly and Taman agent for the Metropol- itan Life Insurance Co. Iam a single man, 2 years old and live at Muilanphy and Nine- teenth streets. Some three weeks ago when I commugsenced the work I was directed by the genera ent to go tothe residence of Mrs. Walters to see if anything could be done towards the T on policies which had been issued tober. I went as directed, but could get nothing out of her. She asked me however, to call agaln a week later and I did so. Ifound her alone with her children at that time, and she let fall some remarks which encoura ed me In my belief that she was not a true wife. In order to gain her good will that I might transact my business with her I complimented per on her beauty of face and form, She laugfied and replied in the same strain. I called a week ago yesterday and made an engagement with her to take her out, but had no intention of keeping the engage- ment and did not, Whenl wentaround yes- terday morning, about 10 o' clock, she was mad because I did not take her out to have some tun,“ as she said, and the presence of lady a gentleman she accused of insulting her. Itold her she was talking French’’ tome, and with that she pulled a broomstick and struck me several times with the weapon before I could wrench it from her. The man then snatched the stick from my handsandI ran. The woman followed me, and as I was almost down the stairs she threw something after me, shouting that I would „get the worst beating I ever had, for she would ‘‘get somebody to do me up.’’ I went about my work and about 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon happened along by the saloon at Seventeenth and Franklin avenue. The proprietor asked me in and we engaged in a game of cards. I noticed that the barkeeper, a man by the name of Christ Dun, left the saloon as soon as i entered, but he was not gone long, and 1 did not suspect him. After a while Mrs. Walters and two men, bothof them strangers to me, entered and the pore dared me to call one of the men a i. I asked her what she took me for, and had hardly got the words out of my mouth when the big§fellow «xnocked me out of the chair. I started to get up when he hitme again and the other min kicked mein the face as I lay rostrate. When I regained my feet Iran be- ind the bar merely as a matter of protection, but seeing the revolver and realizing the murderous intentions of my assailants, I grabbed the weapon and ordered them to ‘stand back.’ The deceased came at me again andI fired. It was one of us and I would rather it would notbeme. He pro- voked the assault and I had to thwart him or he would have killed me. The statements made by the proprietor, bar-keeper and other witnesses vary little from the above.

Death wascaused by an external hemorrhage. THE INSULTED WOMAN TALKS. Mra. Henry Walters makes the following statement of the case: Some two weeks ago I saw this wan Kelly forthe first time, when he came to the house and wanted to insure my life, When Irefusedto take a policy he in- sisted on insuring my four children but I told him my husband did not want 2 insured He hung about the house * 3 ll him I had my work to do. ay he returned while I was = 45 "take who was orying.

He pre- tended not to understand me and said, ‘You must be taiking French.’ I reiterated my remark and he still made the same reply, and abbing hold of the stick with both hands I rought it down on him with all the force of which I was capable, remarking, ‘Perhaps you Can understand this.’ I struck him sev- eral blows and his face would nuve * badly disflgured if he had not thrown up hands to shield it. I finally struck him with my clenched fist and drove him from the house. I had beat him until I was tired. Yesterday afternoon, about 8 or 4 o'clock, Christ Durr, a friend of my ‘husband, who at- tends bar at Bartfeld’s saloon, came to me and stated that Kelly had informed bis employer that he (Durr) had told me about Kelly talking slanderously about me. As Kelly and Bartfeld are intimate friends, Durr was to be discharged if he could not prove his innocence. He wanted me to explain to his employer tnat he had not made any such statement to me. While I was on the way to the saloon to see Mr. Bartfeid I met Diefenbach who workedin the chair fac- tory with my husband, and was a partieular friend cf his. When I told him of my mission and how Kelly had spoken of me, he said he would accompany me to the saloon. There we met Charles Bucher,and he also went with us. I had no object in going there except to explain to Mr. Bartfeld that Durr was not my inform- ant. I found Kelly playing cards with the 6a- loon-keeper and I related how I came to whip bim. He denied he had insulted me, and be- caineso insulting that Diefenbach finally struck him with his fist. Then Kelly rushed. behind the bar and cruelly shot him down. Diefenbach was not making any move toward him at all, but was being held by Bucher at the time.

THE CITY INSTITUTIONS, Plans Being Actively Pushed for Their Immediate Improvement, Chairman Klemm and Harbor Commissioner Murphy of the Building Committee of the Board of Public Improvements, and Commis- sioner McMath made a careful and thorough examination of the Insane Asylum, Poor- house and Female Hospital yesterday with reference to the necessity for additional accommodations. They were shown care- fully overthe grounds and quarters by the superintendents in charge, and there was no difference of opinion regarding the pressing needs of the three institutions for new buildings and extensive improvements. It was the first time that the committee had examined the institutions officially and much curiosity was expressed to learn the impression made upon the members individually. Harbor Commissioner Murphy when questioned about the matter said: It it ig intended to appropriate only $100,000 for the relief of the Insane Asylum, Poor- house and Female Hospital, I think the money had better be kept in the treasury un- til double that amount can bespared. I con- sider every dollar spenton the Female Hos- pital as a wanton waste of money. The improvements that have been made during the past year and that are still going on in which thousands of dollars have been and are being expended, should never have been projected. More money will be spent in repairing, renewing, painting and securing the miserable old trap than would have sufficed to erect a good substan- tial buildin ply large enough for all those now in the oa t In considering the ne cessities of the city with regard to these in- stitutions we are commencing at the wrong end. The Mayor should appoint a commission composed of sensible, practical, experienced men whose duty it would be to traverse this whole subject. They should visit all the principal cities’ of the country with an experienced architect and the present Superintendents : these institutions,and not one single dollar should be spent until their report was made. Then a broad and comphrehensive system should he adopted one that would meet the require- ments of the city for years to come and this makeshift and temporary policy should be stopped. The Famale Hospital should be con- demned as a miserable firetrap. In fact the whole scheme of aseparate female hospital should be abandoned. A ward could easily bo arranged at the Poor House or the City Hospital for the unfortunate women who are thrown on the city. The commission should include all the eleemosynary institu- tions of the city. If this is not done and the individual views of the city officials are to be followed in additions, improvements and sessions thousands of dollars will be spent from which the city will never derive any benefit. Sooner or later this plan must de followed and the sooner the better.’ The Building Committee of the board! ‘held a meeting to-day on the same subject, at which President Flad and Buildin om missioner Furlong were present. The plan of the build- ings and outhouses as they now exist were submitted by Commissioner Furlong and dis- cussed at some length by the committee whose main difficulty was in deciding where to begin and which of all the existing evils was the worst. It was decided to consult with the Ways and Means Committees of the House and Counciland find out how much money could be obtained to send Dr. Atwood and Commissioner Furlong to the East, where a convention of insane asylum superintendents will be held shortly so that they can se somé neces- sary information. Dr. dley, the Health Commissioner, «has formulated his requests forthe improvements needed and sent the following letters to President Flad of the board; Col. Henry Flad, President Board of Public Im- provements: DEAR SRI respectfully request that have pr M getee the necessary plans, speci — tions and estimates of cost for the rebuilding of the brick house at quarantine and small- pox hospital, which was destroyed by fire April 1, 1888. I ask that your honorable board make such recommendations for the appropriation of money forthe above build- ing. also request that you inscruct the Building Commissioner to make such esti- mates of cost and statement of necessary re- pairs to be made upon the old buildin at that institution as may be required for their preservation and use, and ask that you make a recommendation for the necessary appro- priations for the work. ldesire that this may be done in time to have the mon * apart in the general ap- propriation bil G.

Atthe grounds yesterday afternoon Stride- away was made the favorite, bringing double as much in the pools as Cartoon, and Huntress a poor ghbird choice. The other starters who sold together in the fleld were Fayette, Stony Montgomery, Bonita and The Dude. Fayette, against whom odds of % to 1 were laid, was in the lead as they passed the stand and hela it till the stretch was entered when Strideaway showed in front. One hundred yards from the wire Fayette again assumed the lead and looked a sure winner, but Car- toon came on like a whirlwind and in a whip- pine finish won by a head from the dark borse from Hannibal, Strideaway third and the oth- ers strung out.

The others commenced to close in on bim, and one of the most exciting finishes ever witnessed on a track was made, Littig Crete, Penn P., Amigo and Avondale all passing under the wire so close together that it seemed impossible to say who won. The judges awarded the race to Little Crete, with Amigo second and Penn P. third. Time, 1:1. The filly is owned by J. D. Patton of this city. The odds against Little Crete were 40 to 1, and those who back very short horses were in clover. FOURTH RACE.

Price, Stout, Belcour, Hurck and others, took the track in hand yesterday morning, and by har- rowing, scraping.and rolling put it in so fine a condition by last night that a mile was rid den on it under three minutes. Drains have been placed wherever needed, consequently rain will not necessarily interfere with hold- ing the races, as long as the track has a chance to dry, Wednesday afternoon. Lums- den, the Chicago. fiyer, arrived here to-day, with his trainer, and will putin the balance of his time getting acquainted with the track. Betting is about even the result. E. W.

Lewis, Ed Smith, Vincent Ring and others of the Missouri Club, are nightly training at the track, and willgivethe public a taste of fast racing. Frank Mehlig and E. W. Sanders will have it out at this meeting, and as the latter is train- ing hard, and has always been looked upon asavery fast man, it is doubtful if Mehlig will show him his little wheel in any 0 the races in which both start.

THE HARRISBURG FLOOD. AST. LOUISAN’S EXPERIENCE AT THE CAP- ITAL OF PENNSYLVANIA. Hundreds of Passengers Detained by the Deluge—AScene of Destruction at South Harrisburg—Loss of Life and Property— A Liberal Railroad Company—The Scene at Johnstown. N Friday evening I ieft New York for St. Louis,’’ said William A. Newman, Secre- tary of the St. Louis Ammonia ~ & Chemical Co., 28 ‘*‘but only suc- ceeded in getting ‘into the city last night, having deen stopped by the floods. Our train over the Pennsylvania Central, pulled out of New York on Friday night, and when we artived at Philadelphia the conductor came into the car and told us that there was a washout ahead, and that we might be delayed. He did not believe that it would amountto much, and felt sure that at any rate we could get as far as Altoona. All the passengers decided to go on and I went to bed. THE FLOOD AT HARRISBURG. The next morning when I woke up the train was at a standstill andI put my head out of the berth to ask the porter where we were. He said that we had been stopped by high water at Harrisburg, where we had remained since an early hour in the morning. I hurried into my clothes and stepped upon the plat- form. ‘*Never in my life did Iseesuch raging wa- ters. The Susquehanna was bank full, and great masses of driftwood were rushing down the stream, while here and there could be seen the wrecks of houses. But there was no overfiow, as the banks were too high and were strong enough to prevent a breach being made. But toward South Harrisburg an en- tirely different state of affairs manifested itself. A creek, whose name [ have forgotten, comes into the Susquehanna at this point, and had overflowed. Nearly all of South Harrisburg was under water, the insig- nificant stream had become a roaring torrent, and houses were being carried away in every direction. I got as near as I could, and saw several bouses go. Not far from where I stood a man stepped into his back yard, probably forthe purpose of saving something, and so rapid was the rise that he was swept away and drowned by the flood. From what Icould learn there were only three or four fatal casualties in Harrisburg, but the destruc- tion of property must have been immense. I saw the water washing into the third-story windows of great factories, while smaller houses were swept away like stubble. All this damage was done bythe creek, asthe sus- quehanna was confined to its channel, at least at this point. A GENEROUS RAILROAD COMPANY. elt soon became evident that indefinite time must elapse de- fore the train could make any headway, and some of us were in a great hurry to get home. At this point the Pennsy!l- vania Railroad cametothe front and did all in its power for our comfort and convenience. The passengers were notified that they could either remain at Harrisburg or return to New York or Philadelphia. Ifthey chose to stay all expenses would be paid by the company, and if they decided to return to New York they would be given free, trans- portation and their tickets redcemed in that city. This generous course of action was in sharp contrast to that pursued by the Baltimore & Ohio. They would pay none of the expenses duejto the de- tention and those who went back had to pay their fare from Harrisburg to New York, of course having their through tickets redeemed at the latter place. Some of the passengers remained, but most of us decided to return. That we were able to do this was due entire! to the foresight of the railroa company, the trains having been stopped at peg ation instead of run on as far as they could go, leaving the — 1 — stranded inthe woods, where it would have been a most difficult task to feed them. Too much cannot be said for the courtesy and care of the railroad officials. But the task of getting back was by no means an easy one. All the streams were out of their banks, for miles we ran through water, an could not pass this was obliged to go back to Harrisburg. We reached New York in safety, and came back over the Bee Line. SCENES AT JOHNSTOWN. On the train I fellin with a gentleman from Johnstown who had been an eye-witness of the catastrophe that had overwhelmed this city. I was particularly interested, as only a few days before the party with whom I was traveling eastward had remained up untila late hour of the night for the purpose of seeing the greatiron-works. He told me that the lake which broke the dam had originally been used as a reservoir, but had long been aban- doned. Some years ago a number of capital- ists had conceived the idea of making a hunt- ing and fishing resort. They had built an ad- dition forty feet high to the old dam, and its condition was regularly inspected by the State. The lake was five miles long by two wide. As early as last January warning had been given that the new dam was in a dangerous condition, but no one seemed to pay much at- tention toit. This part was what gave way. The gentleman with hom I talked said that he was on the hill mi Johnstown when the flood struck the water came on like a sold wall, ful everything before 4 at Ae 2 and notifying all men having tools in the ae 1 shaft to take them out. r Yor cannot accomplish any work or it feel as > " } 2 f . 1 n 1 . 8 * -e rae me %% 2 3 4 ie 0 we ef R OF ’ * 2 bly 3 . ‘ vtev. oe 4 T 8 ; N oa i + i *.
