"being fitted, and it is probable that new blades will be attached to the propeller, the contractors being impressed with the belief that the present screw is of a pitch so sharp that it does not permit the engines to work oil all the steam developed by the boilers. In the case of the cross-head guides, cast iron has been substituted for steel, and the slides will be of brass, faced with white metal, an excellent antifriction combination. It would appear that an error had been made in the dosigns of the engines in this particular, which may avail the contractor a sufficient reason for the remission of penalties for delay already accrued. These plans were furnisiied by the English shipwrights who built the Naniwakan, and it bow transpires that exactly the same error In regard to the cross-head slide was made in the case of this ship. The error was corrected, as it is now being corrected in San Francisco, before the vessel succeeded in making the necessary horse power. Indiana Pensions.

discussion, aside from office-getting, is the gubernatorial contest in Ohio. If the talk one hears on the streets is to be considered guide, the nominations of both candi dates are practically settled. Ohio Republicans are almost unanimous in the opinion that Governor Foraker wijl be renomi nated, and. Ohio Democrats are all of one mind. They insist that there is only one .. 1 1 .... . i man in ine race, anu mat mat one is exCon grcsnian CampbelL All agree that the contest "will be a very spirited one, and that the Democrats will use all their resources to elect their man, not only for the honors of victory, but because of the moral effect which they expect to derive from success. It is expected that the new chairman of the national Democratic committee, Mr. Brice, will show his hand in the contest. Territorial Officers and Indian Agent. Washington, June 18.

TOE ARREST OP BURKE. Strong Grounds for Believing He Was Con cerned In the Cronln Tragedy. Chicago, June 18. "The arrest of Martin Burke, at Winnipeg, is the most important yet effected. He is deeper in the plot than any of the men now in jail," said Chief of Police Hubbard to-night From other sources a summary of the evidence affect ing the suspect, and which will be submitted to the grand jury within forty-eight hoars, has been obtained. A prominent North-side Irishman will testify that bnt a few weeks before the murder Burke re marked in a public place that Le Caron should nave been killed before he had a chance of leaving for England, and that there was another "fellow who would get it before he was many weeks older. It will be shown that Burke and ex-detective Coughlin were frequently seen together in saloons on the North bide, and that the former was a freauent visitor at the cottage . of iceman 'Sullivan; but the most important wit ness will be old Mrs. Philbm, Burke s aunt, and in whose house, at brie and bedsrwick streets, he boarded. By her it will be shown that he lost his position in the city sewer department last December, and has since had no employment. Up to February i i a i i , i r lie was snori oi iunus, ran in aeon ior uis bojrd, and borrowed an occasional dollar wherever he could get it. From that time on to his sudden flight from the city he had plenty of money, more, in fact, than when he was working. On the day of Dr. Cronin's disappearance ho was absent from home. lie did not return all night. Sunday morning at 8 he put in an appearance, heavy and sleepy, and, in reply to questions, said that he had slept all night at the ice-man's house. It will, also, be shown that he was an activo member of the inner circle of Camp 20, of the Clan-na-GaeL An othcer will leave for. Winnipeg as soon as the necessary papers can be procured. A dispatch from YY innipeir savs: The police, ovidently inspired from Chicago, are Keeping preiry quiet to-nay. uniei McRae is satisfied that the prisoner is no other than one of the Williams brothers, lie is not treated as an ordinary occupant of a cell, bnt is provided with a fairly good bed, and is furnished with meals from a hotel, at his own expense. He sent for his lawyer, Isaac Campbell, this morniug, and had a long interview. Lawyer Campbell afterwards told Chief McRae that the prisoner demanded that he be dismissed or brought before a magistrate, and that if this was not dono a writ of habeas corpus would be applied fox in the higher court. Mcltae says that even if such application is made he is satisfied that it will not suc ceed, as he will be able to lay evidence be fore the magistrate which will convince the latter of the justice of the detention. The Chief is in constant communication with tho Chicago police, so that any effort to secure tho prisoner's release will be immediately wired. It was thought that a Chicago othcer wonld arrive to-day, but it is understood that ho is waiting for the preparation of the necessary documents before leavincr. The police here will not say much upon this point, and it is quite possible that the olhcer may be on tho way. Burke, alias W illiams. told a fellow-pris oner to-dav he would resist any attempt to take him back to Chicago. He persists in declaring his absolute innocence, but tho terror he evinces at the prospect of going back to Chicago convinces the police here that he has much to fear. He made some inquiries about the contents of his valise, which indicate that ho is uneasy about the suspicious hatand clothing. These articles are kept under lock and key, and will not be shown until the Chicago ollicers ar rive. Burke was arraigned before a police mag istrate to-day, and remanded for ten days, at the request of Chief McKea, who submitted telegrams from the Chicago author ities to the effect that papers and copies of photographs tending to show that he is the mysterious illiams were on their way here. Burke was very nervous, and urged his lawyer to institute corpus proceedings without habeas delay. The latter. however, after looking over the dispatches, concluded that it would be useless to comply with tho reauest. and the prisoner went back to jail. Two mysterious individuals, strangers in town, were in court and endeavored to en gage in conversation with tho suspect. They were, however, prevented. It is sur mised that they are here in the interest of A 1 A W people wno are anxious inai uurKe snail oe returned to Chicago. THE GRASiD JURY'S DRAG-NET. Western Union Telegraph Managers Com pelled to Produce Certain Messages. Chicago, June 18. The sensational inci dent of the Cronin grand jury this morn ing was the refusal of William E. Bell, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, to obey an order of the jury to produce mes sages passing between Alexander Sullivan, Dan Coughlin, P. O'Sulhvan, John J. Maroney and G. W. Melville. Mr. Bell maintained that it was against tho rules of the company to produce such messages, and that the statutes of the State of Illinois im posed a fine of $5,000 upon a telegraph com pany for disclosing tho contents of any per sonal or business messages passing over its lines. After all attempts to induce the witness to obey had failed, the jury, head ed by State's Attorney Longenecker, ropaired to Jmige bnepnera s room ana ap pealed to his Honor to issue an order direct ing the witness to answer, under pain of contempt and commitment. Charles S. Holt, attorney for the Western Union, appeared in behalf of the witness, and stated that while the company desired in every way to assist the ends of justice, it did not desire to voluntarily violate the statutes of the State, and discloso the mes sages of its patrons upon the mere request of a grand jury. If the court thought lit to issue an order directing tho witness, under pain of contempt, to produce the messages. the company would men consiaer this a bar to any possible prosecution by patrons. and the witness would obey the order. He thought, though, the jury should more ex plicitly describe the messages wanted. their present request being more in the nature of a general drag-net. State's Attorney Longenecker held that ine jury couiu hot uemuieiy iiesrnue any particular messages, because they were not vet acquainted with the contents of the messages sent. What the jury desired was the right to examine any and all messages that might have passed between any of the suspected parties since March 1. T he jury alone could be the judge of their relevancy to the case. Mr. Holt objected somewhat to an order of such a sweeping nature, but the judge finally sustained the States attorney, and an order was spread upon the record directing the wituess, under pain of contempt and commitment to jail, to produce any and all messages, cablegrams or copies thereof, in the Chicago office, passing be-twf-en Alexander Sullivan. Dan Coughlin, P. O'Sullivau, John J. Maroney, 0. W. Melville and Charles McDonald, either under their true name or any alias, or between either of these men and any other persons, since the 1st of March last. The officers of the Western Union stated that five men had been employed two days searching among the records for originals or copies of the messages desired, and that they would now be promptly spread before the jiirjr. Maurice Morris, a friend of Doctor Cronin. was before the jury this morning, and told how the Doctor had frequently stated that he had incurred the enmity of certain persons high in authority in Irish societies, and that he had fears for his life. Wm. Mulcabey, the suspect, about whom so much has been written, was closeted with the jury for nearlv an hour, and those who heard his story became convinced that he had no connection with the crime. He showed that be had not cone to work for I O'SulliT&a until eoTeral days After to datci

of the murder. From his evidence he did

not appear to know much about O fculhvan or his associates. He was asked particularly about the movement of O'Sullivan during the days following tha murder, but stated that they were mno wiso suspicious, and O'Sullivan seemed to be devoting more time to the ice business than to ontside business. He said he had never seen O'Sul livan and Conghlin together. However, as he was not well acquainted with Coughlin, he might be mistaken on that point. Alto gether, the witness' testimony was very unSrontable, and the jury obtained no evience of value. Fifteen or twenty witnesses were before the grand jury this afternoon, but by far the greater number were singularly devoid of information. Robert Boy in gton. James Knight, Pat Brennan and James Mmehan. all emnloves of iceman O'Sullivan. testified to the habits and demeanor of their employ er about the time and previous to the murder, and were narticnlarlv ouestioncd as to his relations with Coughlin and vWoodrutL They knew nothing of O'Sullivan's intimacy wun uougniin, ana au lesuueu iuai they had never seen Woodruti, either at the ice-nouse or any place else. Maloney, the saloon keeper, toiajaDouttne row in nis place oetween ex-omcer jtoacu on one side and Coughlin and O'Sullivan on the other, and Roach was called and corroborated this story, and testified to the intimacy between Coughlin and the iceman. The Carlsons were again called to testify to certain incidents in connection with the renting and occupancy of the cottage, and were given another chance to identify Martin Burke, as the man Williams. They did not appear any more certain of his identity than yesterday, and the jury was loath to retnrnan indictment against Burke without additional evidence. In this tho jurors failed to agree with Chief Hubbard, who urged the prompt in dictment of Burke. Henrv Stoltenberc. Alexander Sullivan's clerk, was questioned at length regarding the alleged intimacy between the Irish leader and Dan Coughlin, but failed to fulfill the expectations of the jury. He knew nothing of Coughlin's calls at the lawyer's office, but admitted that the former might have entered Sullivan's private room with-1 out being observed by the rest of the farm. Mrs. Rich, who lives on Ashland avenue, diagonally across from the Carlson cottage. was called upon to uescriue ine peopio whom she observed at different times entering the cottage and loitering arouud tho ice-house, but she failed to identify any one who bore resemblance to Burke, and was unable to identify his photograph as that of any one she had ever 6een. lfaos. Given, an employe of the sewer depart ment, testified that he knew Burke during the latter's recent residence in the city, but had no knowledge of his intimacy with O'Sullivan, Coughlin or any other of the suspected persons. T. J. Conway told the jury that he was intimately acquainted withDr. Cronin during his lite time, ana tnat tne laiter nau frequently expressed the conviction that his life was in danger, and that he was liable to be murdered at any time by emissaries of prominent Irish leaders, whose practices ho had checkmated. He also stated that he was a member of Riverside Camp of Clan-na-Oael, and he heard John F. Beggs's speech denouncing Cronin. John F. Beggs was next called by the jury. but his evidence contained nothing new and was a repetition ofhis testimony of yesterday. E. G. Dunn, m. J. Hynes's law partner. was on the stand ten minutes, nui failed to relate anything that deserved the dignity of testimory. He was followed hy James'Quinn, the Clark-street hatter, who again testified to certain incidents indicating intimacy between O'Sullivau and Dan Coughlin. Dennis O Connor, secretary of camp .No. 20, was questioned at length regarding ClaL-na-uael allairs, but warmly disclaimed any knowledge of a secret trial and sentence of Doctor' Cronin on tho charge of treason. Charles Carlson and Mrs. Lindgren, his sister, were upon the stand a few minutes, and the latter thought the photograph of Burke resembled somewhat one of the men who rented the cottage. Young Carlson also admitted the resemblance, but failed to find it striking. Miss McConnicK, a sister of Mrs. Whalen, stated that she was at O'Sullivan's honse the night of the murder, and remembered that the ice man got up about 10 o'clock, or later, to admit u couple of his employes who had spent the evening in some part of Lakeview. This statement agreed with the evidence of a couple of tho ice men themselves, who earlier in the day testified to having entered the house about . that hour and oeing admitted by O'Sullivan. Frank T.Johnson, formerly a confidential clerk of J. T. Lester & Co., brokers, testified in regard to certain fortunate speculations of Alexander Sullivan, and is alleged to have substantiated the story that Sullivan, after a certain lucky deaf, made him a munificent cash present. Father Dorney was called to the stand and asked to give the particulars of P. W. Dunn's charge of emoezzlemeut against Alexander Sullivan and the reverend gentleman's subsequent investigation of this charge by agreement of the principals. Father I)ornev related as nearly as his memory would pennit the circumstances of this charge, and stated that it was only after a full investigation of the afi'airs of Sullivan and the amount of his annual income that he pronounced Dunn's charge groundless. Tho reverend gentleman was also questioned regarding his knowledge of Clan-na-Gael organizations, but failed to disclose any particular knowledge of their workings. Robert Warren, a Board of Trade man, and Henry Baughart and Wm. J. Lynch were also called to the stand upon somebody's assertion that they knew something of the case, but they all disclaimed knowledge of or acquaintance with any of the actors in the tragedy, and were greatly surprised that they should have been subpoenaed. Woodruff's Had Record Enlarged. Sax Fkancisco, June 18. The Evening Post, in giving the criminal history of Frank P. Black, alias Woodruff, now under arrest in Chicago for connection with tho Cronin murder, says that Woodruff was in prison at Oakland, in 18S5, on a charge of petty larceny, when General Jones was arrested for the murder of Lorenzo Dutil, a saloon-keeper, who was found dead, with his head crushed. The evidence against Jones was purely circumstantial, and the most conclusive testimony was that of WoodrntT, who testified that while a cell-mate of Jones in tho city prison, Jones confessed to him that he had murdered Dutil. On Woodruff's testimony Jones was convicted and sentenced to bo hanged. A new trial was granted on technical grounds, and ov.-ing to Jones's old ago and ill-health h has never been brought to a second trial. It is claimed that tho first trial was pushed by detectives to secure the reward, and that Woodruff was a tool in the hands of conspirators. TWO LUTHERAN SYNODS. The Augustana Body Klrcts Editors and Assistants for Its Church Organ. Moline, 111., June 18. The financial condition of the Lutheran college at Kock Island was again taken up. It was shown that there was a debt of between $.00,000 and $40,000, and that vigorous efforts are necessary to remove the burden. The special order was to adopt a plan to publish a evnodical organ. It was resolved to continue Augustana as the synod paper. Kev. E. Norelins. of Vassa, Minn., was elected editor-in-chief, and Dr. Irvin, of Kock Island, assistant, together with twenty-five special editors. After a long debate on the motion that Chicago should be the place of publication. Kock Island was selected. The president called attention to an extraordinary event in the history of the synodthat on the 23d of this month the venerable T. X. Hassolquist, D. D will have completed his fiftieth year in the ministry. The venerable Doctor, who sat in the chancel, was visibly affected wnen Kev, Norelins. of Minnesota, delivered an address in the name of the synod. Publication Work of the Regular Lutherans.

Philadelphia, June 18. The voting on the prohibition amendment proceeded quietly in this city. The day was clear, with a cool breeze, but, notwithstanding these favorable conditions, a light vote was polled. There was a notable absence of women from the polls, and the distribution of icevrater and sandwiches was not so profuse as uad been anticipated, in some portions, of the city the prohibition folks utilized Sunday-school children to distribute cold-water tickets. A number of polls were manned by ministers. The State also voted to-day on the proposed amendment for the abolition of the poll-tax. In this city there was very little opposition to this amendment. The following majorities for and against the prohibitory amendment have been received: This city complete, against, 03,183; Cameron county, 150 for; Lehigh county, 8,000 against: Potter county, 500 for; Berks count', 20,000 against; Chester county, 2,800 for; Clearfield county, 1,500 for; Northampton county. 1,000 against; Reading City, 0,700 against; Wayne county, 400 against; Warren county, 400 for; Bedford county, 000 against; Fullton county, 400 against; .

Brass Bands and Infant Glee Clubs. PiTTsnuRo, June 18.To-day's election on tho prohibitory amendment was never equaled for strange sights and sounds. The streets were filled all day with amused crowds, waiting for the brass bands of the antis and the infantile glee clubs of the Prohibitionists. As each would appear, the crowds greeted them with cheers, and it made little dill'erence on which side the people were. Every one seemed to be in a good humor, and the election was freer . from fights than any election ever before known. The wagons containing the brass bands of tho antis were followed by thoso containing the glee clubs of the opposition, and each alternately filled the air with music. The bands and glee clubs marched all over the two cities, and at many of the polling places groups of women were. busy trying to induce voters to take their tickets. Two or three cases of sickness among the children and women resulted from the exnosure to the rays of the sun, and while there was a good breeze in tne lower city the day was very oppressive and hot. At many noils the Prohibitionists had refreshment stands and served lunches and soft drinks to all voters. The vote in Allegheny county is without precedent for a special election, and rivals tno largest vote at any creneral election. Tho day opened bright and warm. Old Sol did his best to make it as hot as nossible. and the weather was all that could be desired for an election day. Both sides were at worK early and kept it up all day. There were no disturbances, and evervthing passed ott as pleasantly as a summer day. There was not the feeling between A. 1 A A " A A . . A tne two parties tuat would naturally be anticipated under such circumstances. Each seemed willing to give a point to the other, and harmony reigned supreme. The one ieature ot the day was the remarkably large so-called "vest-pocket" vote which came out. Almost every man came to the polls wiih his ticket in his pocket, and evidently had long before decided on which side lie would cast his ballot. There was not the usual "button-holine" that is char acteristic of an election, and people were permitted to go to and from the polls wunoui any molestation. TIIE FIRERECORD.

How Political Prisoners Live In the Convict Dlfrtrlncrs. Jnne Century. Hard-labor convicts at Kara receive a daily ration consisting of three pounds of black rye bread, about four ounces of meat. including the bone, a small quantity of uaney, wnicn is generally put into the water in which the meat, is boiled for the purpose of making 6oup, and a little brick tea. Occasionallv thev nave notatoes or a few leaves of cabbage, but such luxuries " are bought with money made by extra woric, or saved by petty ' economies' in other ways. This ration seemed to me ample in quantity, but lacking in variety, and very deficient in vegetables. The bread, which I tasted, was perhaps as good as that eaten by Russian peasants generally, but was very moist and sticky, and pieces taken from tho center of tho loaf could bo rolled back into dough in one's hands. The meat, which I 6aw weighed out to the con victs after it had been boiled and cnt up into pieces about as larce as dice, did not have an invitingappearance, and suggestedto my mind small refuse scraps intended for use as soap-grease. Ihe daily meals or the convicts were arranged as follows: In tho morning, after tho roll-call or "verifica tion, breakfast, consisting of brick tea and black rye bread, was served to the prisoners in their cells. Tho working par ties tnen 6et out on rooq tor the gold Filacers, carrying with them bread and tea or lunch. This mid-dav meal was eaten in the open air besido a camp fire, regard less oi weaiuer, ana Bomeumes in nerce winter storms. Late in the afternoon tho convicts returned on foot to their cells and ato on theirjjsleeping platforms the tirst hearty and nourishing meal of the day, consisting of hot soup, meatt bread, and perhaps a little more brick tea. After the evening verification thev were locked up for the nicht aud lay down to sleep in closely packed rows on the "nares," or sleeping benches, without removing their clothing and without making any preparations for the night beyond bringing in the "parashas," or excrement buckets, spreading down their thin patchwork crazy-quilts and rolling up some of their 6pare clothing to put under ineir iieaus. ine doming lurnisncaioa hard-labor convict at Kara consists or should, by law, consist of one coarse linen shirt and one pair of linen trousers everv six months; ono cap, one pair of thick trousers, and one gray overcoat every year; a "polushuba," (pol-oo-shoo-ba,) or outer coat ot sheepskin, every two years: one pair of "brodnias" (brode-nee-yas.) or loose leather boots, every three and a half months in winter, and one pair of "kati"' (kot-tee,) or low shoes, every twenty-two days in summer. The duality of the food and clothing furnished by the tovernment may be inferred from the fact that the cost of maintaining a hard-labor convict at tho mines is about for a year, a little less than fourteen cents a day. RELIGIOUS INTOXICATION. Services and Practices Which Undermine the Nerves and Ilealtlu London Hospital. There is no doubt that human beings often become intoxicated, although they may be total abstainers. Indeed, asceticism in on? direction often tendsto excess in another. While we are grateful for the improvements which hf.ve taken place of late in the methods of observing Good Friday and Easter Sunday i the established Church, we cannot conceal from oun elves certain dangers atticliing to modern religious observances. .Soruo mothers very rightly object to their dir. tLters. for exam pie, spending the vl',lc ot (Jood Friday in church without proper food or sustenance of any kind. Ono .:dy states that her daughter commenced at 6 o'clock in tho morning, and remained in church until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After an hour's interval she returned to the church again, and remained there fntii late at night. Keccntly a service entitled 'IVnebreM has been started by som2 of the clergy, which consists of the gradual extinguishment of all lights, as the service proceeds, until the whole building i? ein eloped in darkness. Mothers, quite rightly, object to tho youth of both sexes attending such services, as they regard them as calculated to reintroduce all the vice and evil attaching to revivalist services of p'tfc times. What with communion from b a. m. onward, watchinus. confession, church duties, and the multifarious rerviees which certain clergymen now r.dttvor to induce youn-4 ladies to nnderta) , tne happiness of many families and individuals is becoming undermined. h For a clergyman ho is bound by solemn vows to inculcate morality, sobriety, moderation, virtue and a tender regard for others, to use his church for organizing ami enforcing religious excess in every direction is to prove Hi"idf an unfaithful steward, dangero- t ti:-e best interests of young and old r.'i) .

A her life is not ruined, through tii iu0.m:ice of her socalled father in Hd. l.i tbe interests of morality, of tobnety, ot health, of sober sense and of ths national life, we protest against religions excess of all kinds, and we look upon tho cleric ai intoxication here referred to as a social dai.gf r which, if unchecked, must soon result iu tbe degradation of many of tho rising generation, A Good Day's Fishing.
