hesitation in going to Chicago, but if I trill he permitted to prove an alibi here I would like to do 6o." His lawyer here interfered, and stopped him talking further. After being arraigned and remanded, both men talked to a reporter. McDonald said ho came here from Philadelphia four years ago, and has never been ont of the city since, and has not traveled rivo miles on a railroad since that time. For tho past thirteen months be had been employed in the blacksmith 6hop at No. 753 First avenue. During this time he had slept every night with a Frank Mclnary. He had also worked for the Adams Express Company, being the foreman of their blacksraithing shop in Jersey City. He refers to Harvey Marsh, also of the Adams Kxpress. who, he says, knows him well. He worked also for Gus Haggerdon on Rleventh avenue. Referring to a statement in a morning paper that he had been in Indiana, McDonald said that such was not the case; ho had never been m that State. The only time he ever met Dillon was on the 1st of May last, when they bad a drink together. He Dever said a word to Dillon about Dr. Cronin. Maroney said that he first became acquainted with Dillon in Philadelphia some years ago. He believed the charge against McDonald and himself had been brought so as to make a scandal for the friends of Sullivan. He had known Dillon when he was an obscure slippcr-maker, and had seen him go up from that until he had secured enough power to be able to order the arrest of a man in Timbuctoo or China, so long as he was a Sullivan man. In regard to McDonald, Maroney said be had been acquainted with him for some time. While they were not enemies, they were never particularly friendly. They once rode together in a train from Newport for three hours, but that was the longest they had ever been together. As to the charge of murder, both denied any knowledge of it Late this afternoon writs of habeas corpus were obtained for the production of Maroney and McDonald in the Supreme Court, where a motion will be made for their discharge. The writs were served on Warden Osborne, at the Tombs.

THE GRAJTD JURY. Judge Shepard Orders the Jurors to Make a Searching Inquiry Into the Cronin. Harder. Chicago, June 12. A special grand jury to deal with the Cronin case was impaneled this morning in Judge Shepard's court. Judge Shepard charged the jury as follows: The appalling murder of Dr. Cronin, lately committed. demands a most vigorous investigation. An American citizen has been struck down and killed under circumstances so horribly indicative of conspiracy, premedlated design and malice as to warrant the most searching Inquiry. Fortunatly the power of a grand Jury I f ally equal to the emergency. Men who can tell of facts and circumstances that will lead you to the discovery of the guilty parties cau be made to telL It is as much ierjnry to falsely deny knowledge of a fact as to falsely affirm Its existence. Nothing short of a refusal to testify before you on the ground that bis testimony will tend to criminate himself will excuse any witness, and he cannot falsely employ that personal privilege as a protection for anotber without subjecting himself to the pains and penalties of perjury. It is not the Xolicy of the law that it is better that one, or any number of guilty men, should cscapo rather than that one innoceut person should Buffer. The law has no policy in such matters, except that every guilty iunn Kball be punished With all the information already in the possession of the law officers of the county at hand, it will be a blot upon this commonwealth, a severe blow to the administration of Justice and a frichtful menace to the safety of the individual citizens if any man engaged in this crime, or having guilty knowledge of it, sball not be discovered. . The whole power of the county is at your disposal. Employ your resources, use the power vested in you discreetly and advisedly, but courageously, without rear or favor, and the result cannot be uncertain. Thero are only two Irishmen on the panel V. J. 2aan a'nd John O'Neal. Mr. tuan is the well-known wholesale grocer, and Mr. O'Neal is the ex-county commissioner. After being charged, by Judge bhepard as to their duties on the special occasion for which they were called, they repaired at once to the grand jury room, aud entered on the consideration of the case. Abont noon the grand jury adjourned until 2 o'clock. No evidence was heard, but the jury simply organized. Eflorts to ascertain the sentiments of Messrs. Quan and O'Neal, the two Irishmen on the jury, were not very productive. Well-known gentlemen identified with each wing of the Irish movement were questioned as to Quan and O'Xeal, and it was generally agreed that the two are of unquestioned good standing in business and social circles, and have high reputations as men. Further than this no one whose opinian would carry weight seemed willing to say. Tho panel, as a whole, is an excellent one. most of the jurors being prominent bnsiness men. The special venire for the jury was returned to tho court by Sheriff Matson in person, lie stated that he chose the jurors by turning to the business part of the directory and selecting the names of men well known in particular branches of business, with special care that no one should be drawn who entertained prejudices for or against the Clan-na-Gael. Judge Shepard appointed John IK Clou gh foreman of tho jury. Following is the roster of the jurors: D. 13. Dewey, president American National Bank. II. 1 Kellogg, of Ktllogg, Johnson & Bliss, wholesale hardware; Y . K. Forsythe, wholesale druggist; J. II, Clough, wholesale provisions; J. M. McGregor Adams, president of the Adams &. Westlake Company, and also park commissioner; Jacob Gross, ex-Stato Treasurer, and now a banker; Francis B. Peabody. banker, and was president of the Citizens Association during tho boodler trials; W. H. Beebe. commission merchant; J. F. Woolensack, hardware merchant; Isaac Jackson, stenographer; H. S. Peck, president Chicago Jewelers, Association; V. J. Quan, wholesale grocer; Henry Greenbaum, insurance agent; C. Gilbert Wheeler, president of the Wheeler chemical-works; J. C. W. Rhode, painter; George W. Waite, civil engineer: Henry A. Knott, real estate dealer; Wm. D. Kerfoot, real estate dealer; D. A. Pierce, real estate dealer; A. G. Lumbdberg, town supervisor at Lake view; Louis Hasbrouck, insurance agent; John 0'2eill, building contractor and ex-county commissioner: A. P. Johnson, president of the Johnson Chair Company; The greatest precautions were taken to keep the proceedings of the jury secret, although the jury went over the old ground, and heard the witnesses who had already told what they knew at tho coroner's inquest. Bailitts were stationed at the foot of the stairway leading from the second lioortothe third, where the jury-room is located, and kept all reporters from going upstairs. After the jury had organized they listened to the story of Lieutenant Scbnettler, who told what he knew of the Carlson cottage. Later Biibpipnas were served on Dr. Cronin'a friends, the saloonkeeper Conklin and wife; the two Carlsons, father and son; James Mnllen, manager of Revelle & Co.; E. G. Throckmorton, clerk for Knight &, Marshall, real estate agents; salesman W. P. Hatheld, of Rovello & Co.; M. K. McIIale. carpet-layer for Kevelle Xc Co.: Joseph Cronin, brother of Dr. Cronin, and Justice Mahoney, of Lakeview. Mr. Throckmorton told of the meeting at tho flat at No. 117 Clark street by "J. a Simmons." It took him ten minutes. Mr. Hattield related all abont the purchase of the furniture of Kevelle &Co.'8. He came down in fifteen minutes. Justice Mahoney then entered the room, and stayed for two hours, all the other witnesses being presently sent home. The magistrate was pressed very hard about the contract P. O. Sullivan had made with Dr. Cronin. It is reported that he is charged with having a guilty knowledge of the contract; with attempting to suppress part of the truth about the so-called W ashington Literary Society; with being a bitter hater of tho Doctor, and with attempting to shield his supposed murderers. Mahoney, after the lone examination, emerged in a very excited, if not trembling, nervous condition, aud the grand jury adjourned until to-morrow. ALEXANDER SULLIVAN'S LIFE. It I Strangely Marked Throughout with Lights of Success and Shadows of Crime. Chicago Herald. The life of Alexander Sullivan has been a most peculiar one. It has- not been full of startling episodes, although in four in tances it has been startling enough. Ir has not been a romantic story of struggliug and endeavor to rise from poverty and ob scurity to fame and wealth, although pov erty and obscurity marked its beginning, and affluence and notorictymark its recent stage. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it may be explained by two theories, and that these theories are diametrically op posed to each other. One Alexander Sullivan has been singularly unfortunate. Anotber Alexander Sullivan has been singularly fortunate. According to himself, he was born in Zlai&e, in 1M7. Hi j areata, while ho wm

an infant, removed to New York, and thence to Canada. There he passed the days of his boyhood. While he was still a minor, the Sullivans again moved, this tinio to Detroit. In IStiS Sullivan was clerking for a boot and shoe dealer in that city. The merchant failed, and shortly thereafter Snllivan himself put in a stock of goods, his store being on Michigan avenue, near the City HalL The front was a salesroom, while in the rear was a cobbling shop. Abont 11 o'clock at night, May 1C, 1SGS, lire broke out in the rear of Sullivan's store, and when the fire department reached the place it was seen that two cans of kerosene Lad been placed where they would do the most effective work, and the incendiaries had arranged matters in such a way that several Iiouts should elapse between the applying of the torch and the breaking out of the ilames. The circumstances surrounding the tire were of so peculiar a nature that Chief of Police Dorgman began an investigation, and the result was the arrest of Sullivan, charged with setting fire to the building. The accused was arraigned in the police court. A lad swore that he clerked for one Crimmins, an oil dealer, and that he had sold to Sullivan tho identical cans of oil found at the lire. This boy's testimony was emphatic until Sullivan arose, and, pointing his linger threateningly at the little fellow, said: "Do yon swear that you sold mo that oil!" The boy, weakening, replied: "Well, you look like the man." Miss Maggie Buchanan testified that on the evening in question Sullivan had been with her several hours. The court seeing its inability to fasten the crime upon the accused, discharged him. Upon the Sullivan stock there was an insurance of fLpOO, held by the now defunct Commercial Insurance Company, of New York. Tho policy was written in Charles Peltier & Son's agency in Detroit, and that firm, after making a careful survey of the lire, refused to pay the claim. Sullivan made the nsual demand, but the company and its agents emphatically rejected the claim as fraudulent, and the matter was taken into the courts, where Sullivan won, and tho Si. 500 was paid. Shortly at ter these episodes, Sullivan was appointed collector

of internal revenue at banta le, a.M.. Dy President Grant. At the time of her testifying in his be half, Margaret F. Buchanan was a teacher in one of the public schools of Detroit. They became engaged, but they were not married till some seven or eight years later. The business of his office in New Mexico was apparently insufficient to occupy his mind, or to give a comfortable feeling to his pocket, for he had not been in the 1 erritory more than a year when he became editor of the Sante Fe Post, a newspaper, and postmaster of the town. Santa 1 e was a place of no inconsiderable size, even then. when it had no communication by railway with the outside world, but it did not take long for Alexander Sullivan to turn up smiling on the very top of the heap. Prominence and an aggrewive disposition usually involve discomfort, and often trouble: and it is not surprising that buliivan almost immediately got into a shooting scrape. According to Henry Wieter, who was at that time register of the govern ment land office at Santa Fe, and afterward was a witness for Sullivan in the first Hanford trial, the difficulty was occasioned by one of Sullivan s articles in the rost. which had reflected rather strongly upon one General IHeath. If W leter may be be lieved, Sullivan was entering a shop door one day when Heath attacked him. 1 wo harmless shots were fired by Heath, which Sullivan did not return, lie was unarmed. his witness added. Afterward Sullivan passed Heath's house and the latter dis charged tho contents of his wear bine at the editor, revenue collector and postmaster. who answered with his revolver. Both men were indicted and released on bail. Heath decamped, while Sullivan was tried and acquitted. "1 do not know " Mr. Wieter testified, "whether or not he was a default er to the Kovernment." On April 18. 1S? Snllivan left Santa Fe and theTerritorv and went to Washington. Thence he moved to New York, and, in the Bprmg of 1873, ho came to Chicago. Miss Buchanan had arrived here in the mean time. The year of her fiancee's advent sho was senonsly injured. The pole of an omnibus crashed into a streetcar of which she was an occupant, 6truck her in tho backs and disabled her for several months. In November. 1874, they were married. Some time in 1373 one Fitzgihhons published an article on MUnsexed Women." in which reference was made to Miss Buchanan. Snllivau ad mitted, upon his cross-examination by Stated Attoruev Reed in the Hanford trial. that he had gone to Fitzgibbons's office "to see him about it, and that he had a revolver in his pocket at the time. When Snllivan came to Chicago, he ob tained a situation on the Post as telegraph editor. Then he became a reporter on tho Inter Ocean, and subsequently did reportorial work on the Times. On 1 eb. 14. 1876. he was appointed secretary of the Board of Public Works. Six months afterward he shot and killed Francis Hanford. principal of the North Division High-school, and formerly assistant superintendent of schools. Mayor Colvin was in office at the time the trouble began, and there had been a good deal of talk about an alleged "ring" in tne isoaru oi uuucation. uesmes mis, Wilbur F. Storey, through his newspaper, had made serious charges of licentiousness and cross and beastly immorality against the Mayor. These things being a matter of public discussion, Hanford addressed a communication to the City Council, in which he used this language: The Instigator and entrineer-in-chief of all deviltry connected with the legislation of the board ("of education") Is Mrs. Sullivan, wife of the secretary of the Board of Public Works. Ilex influence with Colvin was proven by her getting Baily dismissed and her husband appointed in his stead. Sullivan heard of this communication the same day. Ho at once went home, ordered a carriage and drove with his wife and his brother, Florence bullivan, to Hanford s house. The schoolteacher was sitting on the front steps of his house, when Snllivan asked him if his name was llanford. 1 hey had never seen each other before. Sullivan demanded an apolog3, which was perempToruy reiusea anu men uu kuockcu nanford down. It was charged that Sullivan Aitemntpfi to no n ere out his eves, and Snlli van admitted, during the snbseoucnt trial for murder, that one of his thumbs did accidently pet into 11 an ford's eye. A man named McMullen seized Sullivan, and then Hanford, according to Sullivan, at tacked Mrs. Sullivan and struck her in the face. Snllivan thereupon drew a revolver and shot the school teacher, who died in thirty minutes. This was on Aug. 7, 1S76. Sullivan was arrested and jailed. His trial began on Oct. 16. 1876, and he was defended by Leonard Swett. who died last week. W. W. O'Brien and Thomas Moran. State's Attorney Charles 11. Keed. who afterward defended Garfield's assassin, Guiteau. and later was arrested in New York for theft, conducted the prosecution. On Oct. 27 the jury aanounced that it could not reach an agreement, and was discharged. It stood eleven for acquittal and one for convition. F. J. Berry was the obstinate juror, and he received almost a public ovation when his action became known. Judge W. K. McAllister presided at the trial, and released Sullivan on SS.00O bail. Great indignation was expressed at thib and at bis conduct during the trial. It was freelv Raid that he had prejudiced the case in Sullivan's favor, and loud demands for his resignation were made. A petition asking him to vacate his ofiice was circulated and received several thousand signa tures, all being those of prominent and influential citizens. Alexander Sullivan's second trial for the murder of rrancis Han ford began in March, 1877. Luther Lailin Mills had succeded Keed as State's attorney, and he conducted the prosecution. W. J. Ilynes, whom, it is said, Sullivan has now condemned to death through the Clan-na-Gael, and who is custodian of Dr. Cronin's papers, defended Sullivan in his second trial, together with Emery A. Storrs, Leonard Swett and Thomas Moran. One week was consumed by the trial, in which the defense was justifiable homicide, and the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty." Since his acauittalSullivan has lived in Chicago, and, during most of the time, has practiced law. He has a good practice, obtained largely by means of his many secret society actuations. The Jles u U of Jer. When anything stands a test of fifty years among a discriminating people, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere.

THE WARRING VIRGINIANS. The President Will Recognize Neither Fac tion Exclusively in Making Appointments. Special to th InUaziaiolis Journal. Washington', June 12. The two wings of the Republican party in Virginia, gen erally known as the Mahone and anti-Ma-hone factions, have now presented their side of the unpleasant political controversy to the President. Yesterday a delegation from General Mahone's side of the fence visited tho White House and laid its claims before President IlQrison. To-day tho other, headed by ex-Governor Cameron, who, by the way, owed his political prefer ment to the friendship of Mahone some years ago, put in an appearance, and stated its objections to permitting General Mahone to say who should have the patronage of the State. They reported that their numbers and the well-known position of several of tho gentlemen who were present with them would have weight with the President, and that they, would be able to convince him that they, were the true Republicans, and that none other had any right to the trade mark; but President Harrison told them, as he told the opposing factions from other States, that he cannot atlord to wash the dirty linen of his party. He let it be distinctly understood that he would not. nnder anv circumstances, mix up in any political quarrels, and he practically advised his callera to go home and fix the difference up among themselves, and agree upon some united policy betore coming to Washington with their recommendations. President Harrison has shown his wis dom in adopting this course. It cannot be denied that tho factional light in the State of Virginia is one of the most bitter that the party has to contend with. The Mahone and an ti-Mahone men are further apart than ever, and there seems to be not the slightest prospect that they will ever be able to harmonize their differences and agree upon a slate for tho oiuces. It is probable that the President will, therefore, use his own judgment, together with tho advice and recommendation of the party organizations in the various districts, in distributing the ornces within his gitt, ana the present indications are that ho will strive, as far as possible, to maintain absolute impartiality as between the wings of the party represented by General Mahone ana.

Washington, June 12.Assistant Secre tary Bussey has rendered an important de cision sustainingthe Pension Office in re jecting the claim of Elizabeth Small, as de pendent mother of Henry Small. At the time of Henry Small's enlistment both ho and his mother were slaves in the State of Maryland. The facts of the soldier's death are admit ted, and the whole question turned upon tho matter of dependence. At the time of Henry's enlistment. Elizabeth i Small's husband and six children were living. In her application her attorney urges that when her son enlisted the eovernment took the place of his master. and that it should be held that the son's labor was a contribution to the common maintenance of all. and that in this sense it was a contribution to the support of his mother. I his view of the case. Mr. Isnssey says, is predicated upon a theorv in nuuibus, too obscure for definition. The fact is admitted in the case that after Henry became free he never contributed any of his pay toward his mother's support. No dependence, in any sense, being shown, Mr. Uussey rejects the claim, and save it could only bo granted as a matter of charity. The de partment's duty, he adds, is to execute tho law. It has no authority to legislate. AN ENERGETIC TOWN. Gnthrie Is Putting on Metropolitan Airs, and Expects to lie Oklahoma's Capital. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, June 12. T. A. Stockslager and Horace Speed, both formerly of Indi ana, but now of Guthrie, Oklahoma, are in the city to consnlt.with the Secretary of the Interior relative to the location of cer tain homestead entries which conflict with town site selections. Mr. Stockslager, who was a clerk in the Pension Office up to tho 15th of April, speaks in glowing terms of the wonderful energy and enterprise of tho citizens of Guthrie. He naid that there are alreadv several brick-yards and fortytwo lumber-yards in town; that an electric-liizht plant has been estab lished in working order; that arrangements are being effected for the building oi a line oi sxreei-raiiway, ana mat everythinsr points to a nrosuerons future. T.nta which, on the 22d of April, were portions of one vast uninhabited territory, nave been sold as high as thirty-live hundred dollars each. Mr. Stockslager says ho thinks the values are fictitious to some extent, but he has no doubt that the future of the wonderful new town is assured, and that within a very short time it will compare favorably wit u many of the lareer cities of the East and West. If the Territorial capital should bo settled in Guthrie he believed that its future growth will warrant the faith which its founders have in it. Kegarding the reports of violence there, Mr. Stockslager says that there have been only two deaths in the town since it was organized.

Apportionment of the Appropriation for Ex perimenting with Sorghum Cane. Washington, June 12. Last year Con gress appropriated $100,000 to be used by the Department of Agriculture in experimenting with sorghum cane as a sugar producer. Of this sum less than $15,000 were so expended, and Congress gave the department the unexpended balance to continue the work. Secretary Busk to-day decided to expend the entire amount this year, and made the following allotments: Rio Grande. N. J., $7,500: Morrisville, Va., $7,500; Kenner, La.. $5,000; Meade Center, k.sn.1 experiment station. $2,500: Cedar Falls fla.) ejperiment station, $5,000; general chemical control and direction, 15,000, One thousauu dollars were reserved for expeninenting with beet culture, and this amonnt will be divided between the stations at Madison, Wis., and Berkeley, Cal.

In reply to a question as to the prospects of tariff legislation by the next Congress, Mr. Randall said: "I think the possibilities are that a tariff bill will be passed, which I hope will bo satisfactory to the business and manufacturing interests of the couiitryt and which will promote stability. That is what the manufacturing interests, especial ly in the Sonth.ncedmost now stability. In my opinion, it is a good thing for the country that the majority eX the aext Xlonso

will hold control by such a narrow margin. That will tend to result, through necessary compromises, in better legislation than would be produced if either side had an overwhelming majority. In other words.

the meagre majority will insure, 1 believe, a conserrative enactment, not over-protective, nor fixen highly protective, out sutlicient to protect the labor of the United States from the lower waces of Europe. This is as far as we need go. Of course, I favor the immediate repeal, as far as possible, of tbe internal revenue laws, looking uiiiraateiv to tueir total abrogation, am enlarged free list, a heavy reduction of excise taxes and such reduction in tariff as I have indicated will get rid of a current surplus."

Thirteen years ago Martin Manniu, a wealthy farmer, died and bequeathed all his prop erty to ins wne, tnree sons auci a daughter. Ono of the sons, Edward, had several years before gone West in search of a fortune, and had not been heard of for many months. He was advertised for, but no clew was discovered. Then a report came that ho had been killed, and later this report was confirmed by the return of a neighbor who had been West. Steps were then taken to dispose of his estate. An admistrator was chosen, and he divided tho property left by Edward when he went West, and also that bequeathed to him by his father. It was fiupposed that this was the end of tho matter, but the missing man suddenly returned to the old homo last week. He had not heen killed, but had continued his search for fortune, which, however, he did not lind. At last, weary of wandering, ho returned home, and it was a heartv welcome that was extended to him. The joy continued but a few days. The wanderer put in a claim for tho property he had left behind, and also his share of his father's estato which the brothers and sisters had so long held as their own.

THE CHANGE AT J0H1S STOWN

Adjutant-General Hastings Given Control of AllDeoartments of the Work. Difficulty in Securing Men at the Waes OlTered The Loss of life Now Thought to Have Been Greatly Exaggerated. Johnstown, Pa., June 12. Order is coming out of chaos. Military discipline has shown its effects at the end of the first days of Adjutant-general Hastings's reign, and Johnstown has decided to nestle meek ly under the wing of the Commonwealth. until she is strong enough to take care of herself. At a citizens meeting this afternoon a resolution was passed bidding Gen. Hastings God-speed, and ordering the city officials to keep hands off. General Hastings has his large staff in working order tonight, and, aside from a slight trouble regarding teams for the use of the commissary department, there has not been a jar in the day's proceedings. A grand exodus of workmen has been going on all day. As fast as tho money was handed out of the paymaster's window at the Baltimore & Ohio depot, tho workmen boarded the trains on which their picks and carts, were loaded and left Johnstown without any expressed regrets. When it was found that not over 125 men intended to remain to work for the State at $1.50 a day and board themselves, a hasty consultation was held, and it was thought best to yield a point before the men left, as it would be difficult to induce them to return. It was announced, therefore, that they would be paid $1.50, and would bo furnished rations as before. The notice was too late, however, and but few comparatively remained. Work upon the ruins has been at a standstill all day, but to-morrow morning General Hastings expects to have 2,000 men at work. They will be under the suDervision of contractor James McKnieht, of Pittsburg, and are furnished by Booth & Elynn and James McKnight, of Pittsburg: Coburn fc Stewart, of Altoona, and aic-bean ac to., irom eastern Pennsylvania. The new plan of canvassing mo city ana systematizing tho distribution of supplies, is meeting with general favor. Provisions and snnnlies continue to come in freely. There is little change in the health situation. A meeting was held in Alma Hall by the citizens of Johnstown to-day, at which the leading business men who survived the flood were present. Col. J. P. Linton presided. Kemarks were made by several of those present touching the grant work before them, and the necessity of united and individual action to rebuild tho town, and the cultivation of fortitude to bear up under the burdens and grnn 6a suddenly thrust upon them. A series of resolutions were proposed and adopted thanking Jas. B. Scott for his untiring ercrts to bring order out of chaos, the people' of Pittsburg in particular, and theciti xns oJ'the United States generally, for tivnc p.ompt anu generous assistance. Thty pledge united sunnort to the State officials in every way in their power in the workuow undertaken, to tuo end that the woi lc tnay rs expeaiceti ...... . - . . , There were some sharp animadversions on Governor Heaver for tardiness of action i-a1a.Hva tr thft frrnat lisaster which has rendered thousands of people homeless, and If 1. lit t 111 it his seeming attempt to uenuio tne matter P m IIT-11 - 1 .

The ollicial canvass of the flood survivors was commenced this ' afternoou. There have been several partial lists returned to headquarters, bnt nothing official. The people who lied to the surrounding hills are returning very slowly, and those not jet here are hard to reach. It is expected the canvass will be finished in about two days. The old bureau of registration reported to-day that 15.6TS survivors have registered. Many registered twice and some half a dozen times, which caused the list to run up to 21.000. For the past-twenty-four hours there have been very few names registered, scarcely more A 1 , J t A 11 . 1 man a score, snowing tnat tne worn. 19 approaching completion. The number of bodies recovered Is 1,193, of which 628 have been identified. But ten bodies were recovered in all to-day, tho smallest record for any one day. This is accounted for by the fact that but few men were worKmg to-day. The ollicial report of the bnreau of registration this morning, which places the to tal number of bodies recovered at 1,192 and the survivors at 15.6T8. caused considerable comment about the city. Those who have been counting the missing as over ten thousand have been 6et to thinking. Tonight Colonel Jcll'ers. of the bureau of in formation, said: "I have been estimating the number of lost at three thousand, and recent developments have not caused me to alter my opinion. Of course that esti mate does not include the smaller boroughs, but they would not run the result above my hgures. 1 think tho greater number of bodies have been recovered. There will not be so maiir found in the s.ind ns supposed, because the people had all sought the tops of the houses. Jdany of the bodies were found on the tops of the piles of debris." C. B. Clark, of Altoona. has at last con sented to turn over tho proofs of liis di rectory of Johnstown. By means of this, it Il . i. S a . m . is nopea, to iorm a compiere registered list, and eventually a full list of the dead. This is to be put upon the State records, as there will be endless litigation following the Johnstown disaster. By the law of this Mate a death must either bo proved by the records, or at the expiration of live years assumed.
