Gossip About the Clan-na-Gael Maroney Thinks Politics Caused Ills Trouble. New York, June 14. Three Chicago detectives connected with the Pinkerton agency began an investigation intoClan-na-Gael affairs, in Brooklyn, yesterday. According to the Eagle, of that city, they are of they opinion that at least one of the men who murdered DrTCronin came direct to Brooklyn from London, and that the details for Cronin's removal were arranged by Clan-na-Gael men in that city. Says the Brooklyn Eagle to-night: "The most remarkable thing about the whole matter is that the members of the Clan-na-Gael in New York and this city have not spoken a word expressive of their horror of the deed which has shocked the people of the United States, nor has any meeting of any Clan-na-Gael camp been held for the purpose of declaring that the society has had nothing to do with the murder. At one time the Clan-na-Gael was a mo9t potent organization in this city. Prominent among: the men in the order was Judge Andrew Walsh, Dr. Gallagher, who is noir in an English prison under a life sentence, and James J. Rogers. An attempt to uso the society for local political purposes, and the advocac' of the use of dynamite caused several withdrawals. Among those who withdrew was Justice Andrew Walsh, who was at the time chief of his camp. He said he was disgusted with the rottenness of the concern. Before leaving the room he was asked to take an oath that he would not reveal any of the secrects of the order. He refused, in vigorous language, and said that he did not consider that it bad any secrets." The Mail and Express to-night has a Chicago special in which occurs the following: "The identity of Maroney and Melville is Eroven. There is still another sensation to o added to the case. Melville registered at the hotel with a woman, and Simons talked to Carlson about his sister. Was there a woman in the case? Was she at the cottage when the murder was committed! Was she used as an accomplice to feign sickness, aud was the physician struck down while bending over her? Who, was the woman talked of by the men who carTied the trunk to the sewer, and through whose conversation WoodnitF got the idea that it was a woman's corpse in the trunk! Finally, who is the woman? Maroney told a reporter to-day that he never hau a photograph of himself. Ho and his friends allege that arrests mnde here are simply for the purpose of destroying Alexander Sullivan, and, if possible, of rejecting upon the Hon. Patrick Egan. The Maroney Clan-na-Gael men say that Luke Dillon's object in Chicago is not to find the murderer of Cronin, but to drag Sullivan in the mire, and make him so notorious that President Harrison will not appoint him to public office. They allege thatDillon's actions are directed from New York city, and that John Devoy is engineering the movement which is now bringing such odinm on Irish organizations. The anti-Sullivan men have raked up a circumstance which they say tells forcibly against Maroney. In all the accounts from Chicago, two men known as the " Williams brothers," are put forward as the assassins. Maroney worked four years as a porter for J. S. Williams, of No. 728 Market street. Philadelphia. This fact, coupled with the use of the name by the Chicago murderers, is held to be significant, and especially so, as the man known as "Frank Williams' spoke wiih an English accent, such as Mnroney has. The writs of habeas corpus asked for John Maroney and Charles McDonald came up this morning, one before Judge Patterson, in tho Court of Oyer and Terminer, and the other before Judge Andrews, in the Supreme Court chambers. Both court-rooms were filled with Irishmen and Irish sympathizers. Judge Andrews sent the McDonald case in to Judge Patterson, and that functionary, after consulting with Judge Andrews, announced that ho would not hear tho argument, but would send tho writs back to tho Supreme Court. Assistant District Attorney Macdona appeared for the people, John Delehanty for McDonald and David M. New burger for Maroney. Mr. Macdona did not seem inclined to make anything but verbal returns to the writs, in new of the probable granting of extradition papers by the Governor next M on day, but Judge Andrews said he had nothing to do with extradition papers, and that written returns must be made by those to whom tho writs were addressed. McDonald's counsel said his client's employer was in court prepared to show that the prisoner was at his work in this city when the Cronin lnnrder was committed, and that there was also a gentleman present who had slept with McDonald in New York that night. Maroney's counsel declared that the warrant was not properly issued, and that his client was not regularly committed. The evidence, he continued. was such that no judge would countenance a continuance of Marony's imprisonment. Judgo Andrews said he would have to have the written return to the writs. Counsel then agreed that the matter should go over until to-morrow. John Devoy stood just outside the court room entranco when the prisoners were brought out by the deputy sheriffs. While the handcarts were being adjusted Maroney caiignt signt ot Devoy,ami, as ne was ueing taken away, gave him a sharp and an I-will-be-avenged sort of look. Devoy did not shrink from it, but looked the prisoner eiraigiu m ine eye. A Clew That Did Not ran Out. Kansas City, Juno 11. Wm. G. Melville, of this city, is at present a clerk in the office of tho.Transmissonri Railway Association. He formerly traveled for tho St. Paul & Kansas City railroad. On tho 15th day of last April he was in Chicago on business for the Chicago, St. Paul & Kan sas City road, aud he registered his name W. G. Melville, at McCoy's Hotel in that city. Chicago detectives heard that John K. Maroney, the Irishman who is supposed to have been one of tho murderers of Dr. Cronin, registered at the hotel about April 16, and they examined tho register, and after comparing alleged specimens of Maroney's handwriting with tho names in the register, declared that Maroney had written the "V. G. Melville." The detectives also discovered that Thomas Desmond, an Irish Nationalist of San Francisco, had numerous interviews with Maroney or Melville at the hotel be tween April 16 and April 21. Mr. Melville onlv stopped in Chicago one day, and tho man who had interviews with him was not an Irish Nationalist, but Samuel Stophlet. another railroad man, who is at present also a clerk in the sameolhco with Melville. On Mav 3 W. A. Melville and wife, of St. Paul, registered at the same hotel, and the detectives are making a strong out unsuc cessful attempt to reconcile the two hands as shown in the writing on the register. W. G. Melville is not an Irishman, and never had anvthiug to do with any clan or clan destine organization. He was reared in Lawrence, Kan., received his education at Booneville, and since leaving school has been in the employ of railroads. Ho is about thirty years of age. One of P. O. SulllTan's Employes Arrested. Chicago, Jnne 14. Tho police to-night arrested Thomas Tierney, a teamster em ployed by P. O. Sullivan, the ice man, and he was locked cp at the Central station. Tierney has been under surveillance ever

since Dr. Cronin's body was found, and it is believed that he knows a good deal about the murder.

It was learned to-nisht that Tlatheld. the clerk who sold the furniture that was de livered at No. 117 Clark street, Throckmorton, the clerk for Knicht &, Leonard, who rented the rooms at the above number to the man Simons, and Martenson. the expressman who moved the furniture thence to the Carlson cottace. had been taken to New York by detectives to see if they can iden tify Maroney and McDonald as the men with whom they had the transactions. No Indictments Returned Chicago, June 14. The grand jury en gaged in the investigation of the death of Dr. Cronin remained in session to-day from 10 a. m. till 6 p. m., with an intermission of two hours for dinner. During the forenoon a good deal of time was taken up in hearing the witnesses in another case having no relation to the Cronin matter. Early in the day State's Attorney Longenecker and Luther Lauin Mills were in consultation in the tatter's private office and agreed to indict Maroney and McDonald as soon as possible. All the witnesses who had testi fied in the Cronin ease investigation in re gard to "J. 15. Simons" were summoned. including Throckmorton, the real estate man; Hatfield, the salesman, who sold the furniture, the clerk in Mc Coy's and several others. The State's attornev said that he expected to have Maroney indicted before night, but xnejnry aujournea wiinoui returning any indictments, and seems to have determined to get along withont extra assistance from the Mate's attorney's omce. During the afternoon fcam isrown, tne officer from the Stanton-avenue station who, some years ago, preferred charges of treason against Dr. Cronin in the Clan-na-Gael order, was called. Other witnesses during the afternoon were: W. C. Dennison, who was taken to tho jail to see Coughlin, and Mrs. John Crowley, the wife of a street-car conductor, living at No. 444 Seminary avenue. Uyron bmith, receiver of the Traders' Bank, and Mr. Moore, clerk for Lester &. Co., were summoned, but did not have an opportunity to testify. I. 0. 0. F. DECORATION PAY.

A wind-storm about noon, to-day, interrupted the American Shooting Association tournament, blowing down all the tents except one, and driving the shooters to such shelter as they could hint, ihe interruption, uowever. was but for an hour, and the shoot ing met no 'further interruption. The featuro of to-day was the material increase of the number of ama teurs that took part in the contest.

THE TREATY SIGNED AT LAST

America Concedes a Point in the Samoan Dispute and the Conference Ends. The Final Agreement Cordially Approved by All the Governments, but Its Terms Will Not Be Made Public Until Katified Germany andjhe United States Will Likely Control Affairs of the Island. Exodus of Panama Workmen Gladstone and the Irish Question Alarming Statement About the German Emperor's Ileal th. THE AGREE3IENT SIGNED.' The Samoan Conference Concludes Its Work Some of the Points In the Treaty. Berlin, June 14. The agreement negoti ated by the commissioners to the Samoan conference, for the settlement of affairs in Samoa, was signed by all the members of the conference this afternoon. America having abandoned her principal objection to tho agreement previously arrived at, the plenipotentiaries had only to make unessential modifications in the wording of the draft of the treaty. The draft guarantees an autonomous administration of the islands, under the joint control of Germany and America, England acting as arbitrator in the event of dillerences arising. The Samoans are to elect their own King and Viceroy, and to be represented in a Senate composed of the prin cipal chiefs, and Chambers elected, by the people. Samoa is to have tho right of levying duties of every kind. The treaty stipulates that the Germans shall receive money indemnity for their losses. A special court will be appointed to deal with the land question. The Americans made their adhesion conditional upon the ratification of the treaty by the United States Senate. The status quo will, therefore, obtain in Samoa until December. Mr. Phelps will carry the treaty to Wash ington. The Samoan treaty will not be published until signed by the American government. Messrs. K&sson. Hates and Phelps cordial ly thanked Count Herbert Bismarck for the courteous manner in which they had been treated, and they warmly praised the skill and tact with which he nad presided over the deliberation of the conference. Sir Edward Malett thanked Count Herbert on behalf of the English delegates. Count Herbert, in reply, said ho hoped they had reached a final solution of the dimcult question. The Tost s Berlin correspondent savs: The Samoan treaty arranges for the restor ation of Jlaheto and for the appointment of uerman and American advisers to iho Kin?, with an English counselor to adjust a balance. Tho Americau delegates have the utmost confidence that the treaty will be ratihed by the United Mates Senate. Ihe London limes m an editorial on the Samoan atrreement savs: Perhans it is as well that Prince Bismarck has been made to realize that where American interests are concerned, the American government is very little allected by many of those considerations which re strain the action of those European governments with which he is more accus tomed to deal. It is easy to see there might be manv reasons whv it wonld bo inexpe dient for England to follow tho line of policy in regard to German action in Samoa which it is natural and necessary for America to pursue. It is not less plain that even Germany must lL!l. - I... il .!.. V 1 imnK twice or mrice oeiore provoKing a collision with America over such a question. Therefore, we rejoico at the inlluence of America, so moderately and effectually exerted." Walker RIalne's Views. Washington, June 14. The agreement between England, Germany and the United States on Samoan aflairs was signed at Berlin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It will not be made public until confirmed by the Senate. While it is called an atrreement by officers of the State Department Mr. Walker Blaine snid this evening that he thoucht it would undoubtedly reonire ratification by the Senate. If the instrument signed were one regulating the conduct of two countries toward each other, as, for instance, between the United States and Samoa, it would properly bo designated as a treaty, but where the instrument signed is to shape the conduct of three eovernments viz.: The United States, England and Germany. towards a fourth party. Samoa, it is held that its proper nomenclature is an atrree ment. At the same time, as it is a matter affecting the foreign policy of the United States, it is said that it will need ratification by the Senate, and that, therefore, it cannot be made public prior to action bv the Senate. The agreement was cordially approved dv an the members of the conference, and by their respective governments. The best of feeling prevailed at the termination of the labors of tho com missioners. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Exodas from Panama of Destitute Workmen The City Relapses Into Dullness. Panama, June 5. Tho canal collapse continues to be the topic of the isthmus, not that matters, as they now stand, affect the canal, but that tho collapse has affected all here and produced gTeat suffering. Thousands, as already reported, havo already left, but there aro others who yet require transportation. Of course, there are always "the more hopeful," and these havo remained up to the last, but they are now moving off as fast as the means or transportation are afforded them by that largehearted national charity which has led countries and islands to remove their destitute fellow-countrymen from the isthmus. In all, upwards of 9,000 Jamaicans have been sent back to Jamaica, and so, in proportion, those of other countries have been removed by the "international" feeling of charity which has moved ott our "international-canal" workers. Matters are, of .course, as dull as they can be, and the city of Panama has resumed that quiet appearance it wore twenty years ago, when one or two steamers would visit the port in a week. The number of sales by auction of household furniture, even in Panama, is unprecedented, and all merchandise is disposed of for much below its value. Mr. Gladstone RoTlews the Irish Question. London, June 15. Mr. Gladstone addressed an enthusiastic mass-meeting in the Drill Hall, at Plymonth, last evening, dealing at length with the Irish question. He maintained, first, that the separation of a dependency had never been caused by the granting of autonomy; second, that separation had. in numerous cases, been caused by the refusal of autonomy, and, third, that there were abund ant cases in which separation had been prevented by the granting of autonomy. Mr. Gladstone supported these propositions by reference to colonial histories. At the beginning of his public career, he said, there was not a colony that was not field by a precarious tenure; but since being granted tho fullest liberty in the management of their own affairs all have been bound strongly to the empire He appealed to the nation to give the saino liberty to irelano Emperor William's Health.

THE WRECK AT JOHNSTOWN !

Eain Interferes with tho Work, Though Good Progress Is Made at the Bridge. A Spirited Meeting of Citizens Another Is timate on the Loss of Life Gov. Beaver's Statement of the "eeds of the Teople. . Johnstown. Pa., Jnne 14. rouring rain with intervals of scorching sunshine greatly retarded the progress of removal of wreckage to-day. The laborers generally refused to take a soaking for the sake of the dollar and a half they might have earned by so doing. The delay is trying to the patience of all parties interested. It is sultry and raining hard to-night, and the iires refuse to burn. Tho only place that any work was done was at the raft where the dynamiting was continued throughout the entire day, and a large part of the big raft, toward the upper end, has been dislodged. Some of the shots tired to-day were territic, both in effect and noise. One charge contained 140 pounds of the explosive. Tho smell of burned and decaying flesh almost drove the dynamiters from their work. The odor emanating from this pile of debris is 6imply terrible. An effort will be made to have the work at the bridge continue by night, as well as by day, and some special inducement will probably bo presented to the men to keep them at their work, rain or shine. The aim of those in charge is to have everything thoroughly eystemized by the time of Governor Beaver's arrival on his proposed tour of inspection. Tho organization is now believed to be as nearly perfect as it can be made, and every departinent'is in control of responsible and competent men. The necessity for a lockup was apparent to-day, and orders have been issued for the construction of a proper building for this purpose. Several arrests for minor offenses nave been made by the police and soldiers to-day. The culprits were locked in a box car for safe keeping. Colonel Moody, district passenger agent for the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, was to-day commissioned as superintendent of transportation. Blank orders for tickets, to be charged to the State, have been prepared, and will be given to those desiring to leave for the West. A great many have already left tho city, and others are anxiously waiting to start. Mr. Fulton's declination to serve as one of Governor Beaver's commissioners for the relief fund provoked much harsh criticism from many of Johnstown's prominent citizens to-day, some claiming that Mr. Fulton was not the friend of the sullerers here that he claimed to be. Mr. Fulton gave as his reason for declining to serve that he will be too much occupied in getting the Cambria works in operation. A meeting of citizens was hastily called at the Pennsyl-vaniafreight-house. A. J. Moxhara presided, and stated that "it is all-important that we should have a representative citizen on that commission. We do not know whether the Governor will entertain our recommendation, but I think if we would telegraph advising the appointment of some one who is in sympathy with our people, one in whom all had confidence, he would probably comply with our suggestions." Captain Kunns, with suggestivo tone of voice, moved "that we recommend to the Governor that John Fultonrs resignation be accepted promptly and that wo place in nomination a man who has the confidence and love of every man, wToman and child in the Conemaugh valley. I mean Col. John P. Linton." Other speeches followed and CoL Linton was selected and a telegram to that ellect was sent to the Governor. It was discovered to-night that several saloons had opened for business in Cambria City. The report reached General Hastings that men were lighting and drinking. Orders were sent at once to Colonel Perciment to notify the proprietors to close up at ouce. In case of non-compliance, a guard will be placed in the rnm-shop3. Twent3-scven hundred dollars, money raised by Pittsburg teachers for Johnstown school-teachers, who are all out of employment, and were financially ruined by tne flood, were received to-day. The fund was placed in the care of a committee of local teachers. The aggregate number of bodies found thus far is 1,192 at Johnstown and surrounding morgues. At Nineveh, 1S9; in Indiana county, 00. This was up to Wednesday morning. The findings since that time are forty-eight; ten of these were found to-day. This makes a total of 1,240. Of the bodies found to-day those of W. B. Hess, Captain O'Connell and Mary Holoran were identified. Colonel Kodgers, who has charge of listing the dead, says he still thinks the aggregate will fall below 4.200. He is finding great difficulty in making up his li3ts. Only 15,560 survivors out of a population of 29,000 have been registered. General Hastings to-night appointed a committtee to take charge of the lumber that will come from Michigan and other places. The committee determined to give the lumber out in the order in which applications are tiled. Twenty car-loads are knows to be en route, and others will follow soon. Gov. Beaver Says Lumber Is Badly Needed Harhisburg, Pa., Jnne 14. Governor Beaver has received an official report from the State Board of Health, in which the district at the railroad bridge over the Conemaugh river at Johnstown to the month of Stony Creek river, is declared a nuisance. The Governor now has the legal machinery and tho fund to apply it, and the work will be pushed without delay. This afternoon the Governor issued a proclamation, of which the following is an abstract: To the Public 8upplics are furnisned in abundance and will continue to be so furnished without stint. Thanks to generous donors the world over, no one has lacked or will lack if he makes his wants known, food, clothing and shelter. The propriety of uinff money contributed for the benefit of individual sufferers for tho purpose of starting men in business mitrht be questioned, particularly if that business should prove remunerative hereafter. There can be little doubt, however, that the most useful and judicious expenditure at the present moment for tho entire people of the region would be a fund which could ie used for putting up simple board shanties, in whicti business might bo commenced by the courageous business men of Johnstown, who have signified their intention of remaining where they are. Credit is tendered them to any extent by merchants in our great trading centers. What they need is simply a cover for their poods and wares. Contributions in kind, or specially designated for the purpose of building board shanties in which business can be commenced would be a trrent loon. One iocnlity in the far West ottered, ten davs ao, twenty-five car-loads of lumber, with the expressed intention of doubling it. Such gifts would be more than acceptable at this time. They can be consigned to icn. D. II. Ilastincs. Johnstown. Fa., who wjil see that they will be properly distributed, if designated specially for that purpose. If persons vho have already contributed desire that their contributions should be appropriated toward this object, a simple intimation from them as to their wishes will be sullicient.

The Man Who Carried the News Through the Valley on Ills Engine. Philadelphia Inquirer. , D. A. Orr. editor of the Chambershnrs Daily Spirit, was in town yesterday. Touch ing on tne Johnstown horror, from the scene of which he had just returned, he said: "I see that one of your city peapers, referring to the saving of the lives of James Kelly and dozens of others by the engineman who dashed through Johnstown in advance of the Hood, says: They lied up the hills and waited, lneyeawtue unknown engineer lleeiug along the track with the llood rac ing behind him: they do not know now nor does anyone to this day who he was or whether ho outran it The daring en gineer," said Mr. Orr, "who plucked courage from danger's bold face was Hugh M. tJlillord. in charge of freight engine 648. and he kept ahead of the sweep. I 6a whim last Monday, and, with becoming modesty, he told me his story, running something like this: MI was at Conemaugh when the operator there received a message that the dam had broken. I knew what that might mean, for I was aware of the enormous volume of water its banks up to that time had held in control. I had not a moment to lose, as thoughts of the people and friends as far as Lockport. twenty miles away, that I might save thickened npon me. I leaped to my engine, to which was attached fonr freight cars, and started on my ride with a full head of steam. For tne first time in my railroad life I went ahead without orders, 1 heard tho dreadful roar behind me, and felt that mine was a race to save many lives. I was afraid to look back for fear of being appalled with what I had undertaken. I sped down the grade, my whistle screaming and bell ringing, while I called to hundreds, shouting and making myself heard as best I could: 'Get to the hills! the dam has broken!' Along by the trade, at Johnstown, soma workmen jeered me, and others cried, with oaths: Let it break!' But I warned all could. "Mine was the last engine to cross tho Johnstown bridge. 1 think I was thero about twenty minutes ahead of the liood, and while my locomotive did its best, in my fear for the safety of those I had yet to reach, I felt at times that the wheels wero not moving. On 1 sped through Cambria City, Long llollow, Nineveh and ISexr Florence, on until I reached Lockport, where my brothers and their families live. There I stopped, alarmed all I could, hurried our people to the hills, and soon tho great wave hal caught up with me. If I saved many, aS they say 1 did, I am satisfied. I don't seo that I deserve praise for doing what I thought was the best to do. This was not the safest for myself. I agree.bnt I thought then rather of the hundreds I might help than of my own security.' "Hugh Clifford, who rode down the valley on his iron steed, unlike Sheridan in, front of his enemy instead of behind, on that fateful Friday," continued Mr. Orr. "was not then a hero for the tirst time. It was this plucky fellow, then a fireman only twenty years of age. who. e .mo eight yeara ago, averted an awful wreck and loss of life. He found the freight train ho was on, a train of twenty loaded cars, speeding down the eastern slop. of the Alleghenies at Allegrippus, deserted bv its engineer and crew, all save fireman Clifiord. The engineer deemed the train beyond control, and signaling danger, jumped from his engine, and with the remainder of the crew, except tbe young fireman, tied. He might, too, easily and safely have jumped as did the rest, out he kner the danger and death that it might caue, as it would dash into the Altoona yards unmanned. Clill'ord, with a full realization of his risk, saw that the engine was reversed, then ran back the full length of tha train, braking each car as he went, ard Foon, though it seemed hours to him, he had brought the train to a stand-still and wa able to take it in 6afely to Altoona. Clifford never tired after that day. The next morning he was made an encineer. And now tho hero of Allegrippus has won ncv laurels in the valley of the Conemaugh. Paul Kevere's ride seems a pleasure gallop when its story is told along with Hugh CiifrodV, Shoes and slippers well taken care of will last much longer than if carelesslj- thrown around, and look well as long as they ara lit to be worn. Ono of the best places to keep them is in the pockets of a stroncj hhoe-bag, firmly fastened on tho closet door. This bag may be made of linentwill, cretonne, or ticking in fancy stripes. Tho back of the bag is S inches wide anl .X inches long. Tho top is cut to a point. Two strips, each 9 inches deep and ::t inches long, are cut for the pockets. '1 heo are bound across the top with dress braid, then laid on the back with the extra fullness iu plaits in the bottom, and stitched across twice, making three pockets in each, strip, with a box-plait in each pocket. The entire bag is bound with worsted dress braid. A email-sized brass curtain ring is fcewed on strongly to each upper conii-r and to the tip of the point. The shoe-bag is suspended by these rings from nails, or what is better, small screws, ou tho inside of the closet door. Many weeds can be utilized with ad vantage.
