THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26. 1889.

A NEW CRONIN SUSPECT

WANTED BY THE CHICAGO POLICE. Michael Cooney, Barke'a Partner, tbe Man Vantd These Two It la Thought Ar Croaln'a Murderers The Grand Jury Returns aa Indictment. CHICAGO, Jane 19. An entirely new Cronin suspect is being looked for to-night. His name ia Michael Cooney, and he has an odd eo briquet The Fox." Cooney and Barke are claimed to be the two men who actually killed Cronin. Both are Oan-na-Gael men, members of camp No. 20. Cooney ia a bricklayer by trade, and, like Barke, came here from Ireland only a fewyears ago. Burke's number in camp No. 20 was 108 and Cooneya 109. Each ia described as an enthusiast on Irish matters, and particularly bitter regarding the British spy system, which possibly their personal expedience had given them, as they considered, good cause to detest. According to the best information obtainable to-night, little hope waa to be entertained of the arrest of Cooney immediately, if at all. There was a feeling, apparently, that he had t een given too long a start and was already in aome safe retreat. State's Atty. Longenecker allowed it to be inferred that he has two witness is who will swear that Cooney and Barke slept in the Carlson cottage several days prior to the tragedy, and even that the two suspects were seen leaving the cottage the fatal night of May 4, at 11:30 o'clock. Both are said to have proceeded to a saloon in the vicinity and drank heavily. Cooney'a sobriquet ia not given to him because of any physical peculiarities. "Tee Fox" is the name of a humorous ditty of interininabJe length which Cooney was wont to aiog, and through which he became somewhat widely known. The information regarding him, it should be understood, is not official, but neither the chief of police nor the state's attorney, it is claimed, deny that the reports as given are correct. THE GRAND JURY. ft Keturas an Indictment Against Borke, Altaa Martin Delaney. Chicago, June 10. The special grand jury In the Cronin case gave its first indication of Tsults at noon to-day in the shape of an indictment against Martin Burke on two counts. Burke alias Martin Delaney, otherwise called Frank Williams, is indicted, (1) for murder, end f2) for conspiracy with Coughlin, P. O. Snllivan and Woodruff, for the purpose of commuting murder. Application will at once be made to Gov. Flfer, by an officer who ia now in Springfield, for requisition papers for the extradition of Burke. These papers, properly attested, will be spread before the state department at "Washington and tfce secretary of ttate will make the formal request to the Canadian government for the surrender and extradition of Burke. The latter is now in the custody of the chief of police at Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Chicago officers and persona have been dispatched to the scene to identify him. It was only with reluctance that the grand Jury this morning returned an indictment against Burke, and had his partial identification by photograph been the only evidence gaint biro, it is safe to fay that the request of Chief Hubbard and State's Atty. Lonreaecker vonld have been ignored and an indictment iciiid until the Chicago people had proceeded u Vinnipeg and clearly identified the prisoner as one of the "Williams brothers." The testimony of Michael Gavin of the Chicago sewer de partment, who had known Burke, was very conclusive, however, and it was upou his evidence that the indictment was returned. Gavin testified that he had known Burke for a 1-ng time, that he had frequently heard the latter boast of his friendship with P. O. Sullivan and others of the suspected parties, and that on one occasion Burke had expressed his conviction that Cronin was an enemy, if not a traitor to the Irish cause. It was announced this afternoon that no more indictments would be returned nntil the jnry waa prepared to make a final report, and that Burke had been indicted at this time on the united plea of Chief Hubbard and State's Atty. Longenecker upon representations that it would save time in securing his extradition. Chief Hubbard, who at no time entertained hopes that Maroney and McDonald, the 'ew York 6uspect, would be identified as accomplices in the murder, rins hi faith implicitly to the Burke theory. His efforts to secure n indictment last evening were renewed by a personal plea to the jury this morning, and it is chieüy to Mr. Hubbard that an indictment now rets over Martin Burke. Wltmpeo. Mai., June CO. Officer John M. Collins of Chicago arrived to-day and identified Burke as the nan wanted for the Cronin rmmler. Vpon his arrival he proceeded to the police Mation and with Chief of Police McTlae entered Burke's cell. Burke looked up as they entered, and Collins remarked: "Well, Burke, this is a had place to he in." Burke replied instantly: "Yes, John, ;t is." but a minute later denied any knowledge of the Chicago detective Collins, however, was satisfied and retired. He drove to the residence of Judcje Fa;n. where the following intormation was -orn out: iu;l3. in the province of Manitoba, and county of 1 information and complaint of John M.

His case will come tip tor hearing at 10:30 o'clock to-morrow (Friday; ruornioe. Witotpeg, June 21. Precisely at 10:30 this irornir Martin Burke was marched into the r"urt f thf qneen'a berch and placed in the murderer'a dock for arraignment. He waa landcufed and closely guarded. There was a larye crowd preent and all eyes were turned Upon the criminal. He seemed a trifle dazed aad kept his eyes on the floor. Judge Bain un entered the court, and, after caini: npon the risocer for a moment, he signaled to the rrk, who rad the information aworn out by Jetective Collins yesterday, and which charges Jljrke with murder. Collins was present in evict and tried to catch Barke'a eye, but he refused to look up. 'A. II. Howell, the leading criminal lawyer practicing here, had been reuined by Collins, with I.. D. Cumberland as his partner. Isato Campbell and W. 1- Perdue were present in 1ha!f of the prisoner. Mr. Howell arose and sake J his lordship to remand the prisoner for one week. He stated the evidence was beint; prepared and witnesses were eoroini from Chirajr to enable the prosecution to rivet the conviction and secure the prisoner's extraditioa. He aid it would be possible to go into certain evidence in a day or two, hut it would then be necessary to ask for a further remand and do time would be lost in hastening matters. It was jnat as well to have a week'a adjournment at once. It waa probable that counsel would have to be brought from Chicago and other matters would have to be gone into. Isaao Campbell, for the prisoner, reminded the eourt that Chicago was only a day and a half from Winnipeg. The grand jury sitting in Cook county was throneh with the prisoner who bad been detained here since Sunday. The remand requested by the prosecution was altogether too Ion?. Mr. Howell said it would be necessary to prove to the court that Cronin had been murdered, and then prove that Burke was suspected of the murder, bo that several witnesses io!?ht have to be examined. His lordship decided to remand the prisoner until next Wednesday. Barke was then taken Children Cry for

in charge by Gor. Lawler of the jail and changed into the murderer's caee in the jaiL The governor says' hia new boarder eats fairly well, and seems to feel aa well aa could be expected under the circumstances. Martisen, the Chicagoexpressrnan who carted the goods to the Carlson cottage, arrived to-day and to-nicht identified Burke as the one who engaged him to move tie goods. The identincation waa complete. Fifty-two persons were gathered in the jail yard, among them being Burke and several prisoners in plain clothes. They were placed in line and "toed off." Martisen walked slowly up and down the line. Burke stood with his bands in his pockets and with his eyes averted from the Chicago man. After a consultation with the authorities Burke's number was taken down and it was openly stated by couusel for the prosecution that there was no necessity for further identiäcation. Martinsen is accompanied by a Chicago detective. Burke ha employed aJditional counsel and will fight against extradition to the very last. Although only having $00 when arretted, it is said he will not lack for funds for his defense.

WHERE INFORMERS LODGE. The lee Man llemoved to the Boys,, Department Ilaa he Squealed? Chicago, June 20. P. O. Sullivan, the ice ttaa, indicted for complicity in the Cronin tragedy, wss to-day removed to the so-called "boys' " department of the jail, the .recoznized haven for "squealers." Sullivan is the person whose business card and whose curious contract with the doctor for medical services were used to lure Cronin to death. The story is given out that the ice-man has olTered to make a clean breast of everything he knows. His motive for being willing now to confess all he knows is alleged to be fright over the arrest of Burke at Winnipeg and the disclosure that Cooney, the "Fox, is being actively pursued. Considerable credit is given the statement as to the ice man, but it is tempered by the suspicion that his removal is simj ly part of a series of shrewd taotiea on the part of the authorities to break down one or another of the suspects. ijullivan, it is claimed, sent to-day to SheriiF Matson, and requested a personal interview. The sheriff responded, and after a brief talk, hurried to the grand jury room in search of State's Atty. Longenecker. The state's attorney, it is represented, was making such encouraging progress with the grand jury that he waa reluctant to bother with an i lifo rm er. Thia information was taken to the ice man and resulted in a still more urgent plea for a hearing with Mr. Longenecker. The state's attorney, it is said, finally acceded to a conference, and without making any promises gave Sullivan to understand that a penitentiary was a more comfortable place than the gallows, and that if any accused person had a choice in such matter? the earlier it was evinced the better. At this point Sullivan was taken leave of by the officials. To-night the ice man was in the abode of the informers. ENDED THEIR WORK. The Grand Jury Closes Its Investigation of the Cronin Can for th Present. Chicago, June 21. The Cronin grand jury this morning heard the testimony of Mrs. Philbin, aunt of Martin Burke, the Winnipeg eupect. Mrs. Thilbin derided tha idea that her nephew was a murderer and described hiu as a weak and rattle-brained 5oung man who lacked the couraze to engage ia a plot of such character. She was unable to enlighten the jury regarding Burke's movements about the time and previous to the murder, as he had ceased to live at her houe some time before that. Burke showed but litde disposition to work and less to pay any board bill, and rhe had declined to longer harbor hira in the bouse. Chief Hubbard was closeted with the jury for a half hour, giving the latent developments of the police investigations, and suggesting the names of witnesses who might be abla to enlighten the jury ou certain points. Fmnk Scanlan, Dr. Cronin's friend, gave the names of several Clan-na-Oael men whom he thought might know something of the conspiracy or the movements of parties connected with it, and several new suhpenas were issued upon his suggestion. Robert Bruce, the detective, was before the jury this afternoon and required to give his version of the story that Alderman John McCormick once attempted to bribe him to remove Cronin. This story shrank into insignificance tinder the queries of the grand jury, and proved to have had its oriein in simple expressions of dislike and distrust that McCormick once passed npon Cronin. Luke Dillon was once more called to the stand and questioned minutely regarding th inner workmes of the Clan-na-Gael and the movements of those of its Chicago members who he had found, in his investigations, to have been hostile to CroDin. Sir. Dillon also gave certain additional details regarding the charges arainst Aleiander Sullivan and the memorable trial which ensued. Harry Jordan, the bartender, was questioned regarding the habits and associates of McGheehan, the suspect, but he disclaimed any intimate acquaintance with him. He testified to having frequently seen Burk aud Cooney together, and said they on several occasions visited his saloon in company. Florence Sullivan, a local newspaper reporter, was called to the stand, but was unable to atford the jury any light, his testimony consisting merely of hears3y in regard to evidence aln-ady produced. Kdward Spcllujan of Peoria, the prominent diiitillf ry man and district oflicfT of the Clan-na-Gael for the territory of Illinois and Wisconsin, was on the stand for half an hour, and te.-titied in regard to the extent of that organization, and the power of local camps to punish otTendin? member. He stated that the ereate't penalty that could be inflicted upon any member under the rules of the organization was epu!ion from the ranks, and insisted that if Ir. Cronin Lad beeu condemned to death under the Btar chamber proceedings of any caaip, it was contrnry to the fundamental principles aud practices of' the Clan-na-Gael. Mr. Spellman professed high ruard for Dr. Cronin, and assured the jury that hn (Speilman's) desire to ferret out the indicator. of the traedy was shared by all the 1 end i u a: Clan-na-tiael men in the United States. The proceedings of to-day closed the investigation of the grand jury in the Cronin case for the time being, and the jury will to-morrow proceed to the considerationof common jail cases. The Cronin case, however, will be kept ojen to give the police sn opportunity to pursue their investigations, and as witnesses are produced from time to time, their testimony will be received by the jury and tiled with the vast volume of evidence already adduced. FOUND THE LAST CLEW. The Chicago Pelle Hop Soon to Capture Patrick Cooney, Alias J. B. Slmoniis. Chicago, June 22. The statement is published that the police have recovered the lost clew to the movements of Patrick Cooney. Cooney is supposed to be the man who passed under the name of J. B. Simonds and bought the furniture which was put into th fiat opposite Dr. Cronin'a office, and which was subsequently taken to the Carlson cottage, in which Dr. Cronin was murdered. It is given out that the police expect to capture Cooney, possibly within a few hours. From the day Burke'a name was mentioned in the case, Lieut. Elliott has been working industriously on Burke's record. "I have found that he will probably have to account for more than the crime of murdering Cronin," said the lieutenant. "Do yoa think he has committed mnrder beforer "From what I have discovered, I should say he bad. But I can give you more particulars in a few days." This afternoon Frank Wroodruff commenced, in the circuit court, a suit for $19,500 damages for libel against the proprietor of a dime museum, who has on exhibition a wax "fi?ger" of the horuethief aa one of the accomplices in the murder. AN IMPORTANT WITNESS TURNS UP. Claims to Have Keen the Mnrdered Man's Body Dumped Into the Catch-Basin. Chicago, June 22. A man who claims to be an important witness in the Cronin case turned up last night. He is George . Brooks, a news .agent, running on one of the railroads coming in at the union depot. Broo'ts is a small mau, about twenty-three years old, is intelligent looking and a good talker. Hi story ia to the eflect that on the night of May I he "was driving in Lake View with his sweetheart and that happeoing alonjr Ashland-ave. he saw three men loading the trunk into the wagon at the Carlson cottage, and that about half an hour later he saw the same men dumping the con Pitcher's Caotoria.

tents of the trnnk into the catch-basin in which the body of Dr. Cronin was found. He also says that he saw the men distinctly, and that lie will be able to identify them, and that hia female companion also saw them and that 6he, too, will be able to identify them. He is ready to produce the young woman as soon as the authorities want her. Brooks' explanation of hia failure to tell hia story before is that he was afraid of losing hia life, as be believed tae men concerned in the murder were so desperate they would kill any one who they thought mi?ht turn up as a witness against them. He said the knowledge he possessed had so weighed on his mind that he could not keep it to himself any longer, and believing it was a duty he owed himself and the community he had at Ir.t decided to tell all he had seen. He first stip .iated that he be given protection. This was promised hira. Brooks told his 6tory to Chief Hubbard, with whom he was closeted for over two hours late last night, lie described the three men whom he saw, and his description of one is said to fit Burke, the Winnipeg suspect. A NEW ARREST.

A number of Joliet, 111., Placed Behind the Bars. Chicago, June 22. A new arrest was made this afternoon in the Cronin case. The prisoner is Michael Walsh, a plumber, who has been working at Joliet. He knew Martin Burke, the Winnipeg suspect, in Chicago. Burke, it is reported, turned up in Joliet the day after the Cronin tragedy, and remained with Walsh, practically penniless, until June 9, when it is thought a money order came to the Winnipeg man from Chicago. The natural inference would be that Walsh's arrest was due to a desire on the part of the police to elicit anything of value that he may know regarding Martin Burke, the supposed "Frank Williams," with whom Dr. Croain drove oif the night of May 4, never to be seeu again. Will Hear Brooks Testimony. Chicago, June 22. The grand jury will reaume consideration of the Cronin murder mystery at 10 o'clock Monday morning, at which time the testimony of G. E. Brooks, who drove by the Carlson cottage the night of the murder and saw the trunk lifted into WoodrufT'a cart, will be received. Brooks is understood to be able to give an accurate description of the men who removed the bodv. WAS DR. CRONIN A SPY? Rumors that the Murdered Man Was Work tng For the 'London Times." CHICAGO, June 2L To-night's sensation ia the Cronin case is a circumstantial report that the authorities have information showing that a committee of camp Xo. 20 of Clan-na-Gael, after a formal trial, found Crociu guilty of being a British spy. The charee was that Cronin, under the guise of endeavoring to expose alleged malfeasance of Alexander Sullivan, Michael Boylan and Dennis Feeley, was in reality attempting to bring about a public investigation of the work and the accounts of the order for the information of the Eritifh government and the London Timrs' commission. It was shown that the exposure of the workings of the order, which would be necessary in order to refate Cronin's charges, would rnrnish to the London Times all the information which it had despaired of obtaining by the appointment of a government sub-commiesion in America. Croniu's maneuvers, it was pointed out, whatever his motives, could hardly help but insurj the extradition of every tnnn who had gone across the water on "active service." Chief Hubbard aud State's Atty. Longenecker neither explicitly aftirm nor deny the reports. The story is that two trials of Cronin were held. The first w.io in January, but when it came to rendering a decision upon the evidence, one man wcake ned. The trial committee was dissolved, but subsequently reorganized in secret, the place of the man who weakened leing filled by another man. The man who retired from the first meeting became aware of the reorganization tince Croniu's disappearance, so it is claimed, and has been the source from which information has come to the authorities. The trial committer consisted of seven persons, each of whom, it is said, is new under surveillance. They did not sentence anyone to death, or have any knowledge of, much less have anything to do with lurins Cronin from his oface, or the scenes in the Carlson cottage. All that, was claimed, was the outgrowth of the verdict, which was simply that the proof showed Cronin to be a spy. BURKE'S EXTRADITION. The Papera All Made Out and Signed by the President. Washington, June 24. George A. Baker, of the state attorney's office of Chicago, arrived in this city last night, bearing the application of the Illinois authorities for the extradition of Martia Burke, who is under arrest at Winnipeg for the murder of Dr. Cronin. The papers were presented to the department of state immediately upon the beginning of business thia morning. The papers were made a special order at the state department, and a force of clerks was set to work copying the somewhat voluminous averments necessary in extradition papers. The work was pushed ahead so expeditiously that before 1 o'clock all the documents were in proper legal form and ready for the president's signature. They were sent over to the white bouse, and left in the custody of Private Secy. Halford to await the president's arrival from Cape May. The president returned to the white house from bis trip to the a-shore about 7:30 o'clock, and soon after 8 o'clock the papers -were laid before him for his signature. The present's antorriph was almost immediately attached, nt everything was in readiness for him to do so. The papers now have to again go over to the state department to be properly authenticated. This is a mere official form, however, and can be attended to in a few minutes. As there is no reason for special haste, this authentication will not be made to-niht but will be deferred until the department opens to-morrow. No delay will occur, end the official government papers necessary to comply with the international requirements in extradition cases will be delivered to Mr. Baker in time for that gentleman to take the 11 :30 limited express train for Chicago. The requisition names Detective Collins of Chicago, who is now in Winnipeg, as the man who is the authorized representative of the United States to convey the prisoner back to Illinois. Tfas Not the Man. FRANKFORT, InL, June 2-L Capt. Schneller and Frank Scanlan arrived here at 8:15 a. m. from Chicago, and Mr. Scanlan at ouco decided that the anspect arrested at this place was not Cooney. lie admitted, however, that the resemblance was striking. The roan turns out to be Patrick Donahue of Greencastle, Ind. lie is an intelligent Irishman and is a member oi the Land league, but not of the Clan-na-Gael. He is an enthusiastic liberal and a strong admirer of Dr. Cronin, whom he claims to have met frequently. He has been set at liberty. Fired On By Baytlen Soldiers. New Bedford, Mass., June 21. Schooner Baltic of Provincetown, captain, Joseph Fisher, arrived here to-day from an Atlantic whaling voyage. Cap t.

THE GOVERNOR ASKS AID

FOR THE SUFFERING MINERS OF CLAY Soma Wonderful Figures and the Way In Which They Were Prod need An Attack ou Mr. McCulloch The Best Distribution Yet Made. BRAZIL, June 1?. Special.! The article from thia point published in to-day's Indianapolis Jouriial is simply infamous. Not only does it attempt to malign the Rev. O. C. McCulloch and others who have taken the cr.re to investigate the situation here , and tell what they saw and learned, but it basely attempts to mislead the public by printing a pay-rcll which represents the largest earnings made during any two weeks of last year by any mine in this district, in order to convey the impression that that is a specimen of the wages made by the miners of Clay. To begin with, it may be well to say who the Journal correspondent here is. He is the same who wrote the articles printed in the Journal two or three weeks ago over the signature of "Fab." They bristled with misstatements and deceptions, some of which were fully shown up by The Sentinel. He was afraid to personally assume the responsibility for them, and hence tried to hide his identity tinder a pseudonym, but indignant friends of the miners traced the letters to him. Now, however, he has grown more bold, and at the same tune more iniquitous. Two facts must be borne in mind in considering what lie says. In the first place, he has to conform to the JournaFs position in this matter, and in the second place, he is a hireling of the operators. He does not want to be lair, but if he did it would be impossible for him to give a just statement of the situation. He haa 60 incensed the strilers who, unfortunately, are not always anxious fo preserve peace and order that his life would be unsafe if he attempted to investigate the situation in the mining district. But as to the figures in this morning's Journal: He gives the pay-roll for Crawford fc Co.'s miners for the two weeks extending from Oct. 8 to Oct. 20 last, and is enough of a liar to leave the impression that that represents the pay for work actually performed iu two weeks' time. One miner is charged with making $108.06", or f4.03 per Meek. Ye gods! Such a thing has never occurred in Clay county. The matter of fact is that the two weeks' pay referred to by the Indianapolis Monopolize represents perhaps two or three times that am aunt of labor, and is also selected from the fattest period of the s ear and from one of the most prosperous miners. It Crawford & Co. wanted to show up the earnings of their mine employes, why in the name of heaven didn't they print the pay-roll tor the entire year, or even for tlx or three consecutive months? They did not dare do it; they could not be hired t do it. Yet they would come before the people with this sort of a deception, and through a paid correspondent seek to convey the impression that miners in Cl.iy county were making ?"i0 per w eek. Does not this sort of action couvince the people of the state that the operators or some of them, at least are misrepresenting atlairs? Will it not react upon them when the falsity of it appears as it readily hould. The quoted pay-roll makes the net earnings of each miner 27.0i, or fl3.o0 per week; but it denotes tho miners by nu tu hers, and in many cases these numbers represent not ono miner only, but a miner and one or two assistants generally his sous, who may rauge in ae from twelve to fifteen years, and who earnings are likely to equal his owu. It is eutirtly probable, therefore, that where the teures are made to say "total number of miners, 120," they should say. at least, l.r0, which would reducS the weekly average to ?10.R In addition to this fact it appears from the pay-roll that but nine of the 120 miners were 'docked'-' for powder. Now powder has to be boueht once a month and therefore there was unfairness in the statement on that account But if Crawford Co., or any other of the operators, really want to show how rich the miners have been petting, let thern publish the pay-roll for the (fntyre year, or for the lat two yeara. Then the public will take heed to them. The semi-weekly distribution of provisions occurred from the various points to-day. It was by far the most liberal yet made, and averaged 12 cents' worth per head. Twelve ceuta for a half week is not, however, very "high livin'." . At the saegestion of O. C. McCulloch, the state board of charities is interesting itself in the strike and will make an efTort to adjust the differences between the operators and employes. It has been waiting for the governor's decision in regard to the proclamation and it will now proceed to take some action. Mr. McCulloch stated last nisrht that if both operators and strikers would display a disposition to adjust matters the committee would oiler its services and probably make a visit to Brazil, accompanied by its secretary, Mr. JohnsonGov. Hovey says The Sentinel did him an injustice in stating that the letter from the commissioners reached him Tuesday afternoon. It did not reach him. he says, uutil Wednesday morning. The letter was maüed by the commissioners Tuesday noon, and but for the inet ficient postal service the governor would have had it at the time indicated by TilE STINEL. THE GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS. lie Calla T7pon the People of the State to Contribute. On his return from Crawfordsville last night. Gov. Hovey issued the following proclamation. Proclamation. E.T BrVTlVE 1KPAKTMKST, Indianapolis, June 1?, 1SS9. As ftorerncr of In iiuna I have just received the following roiomun!c3iioD from tbe coiamK'louers of Clav county. Here follows the letter as printed ia yesterday's Se.vtisel. As governor of the etate f Indiana I do not presume n claim auy l"cal ritht to reiuet or demand any aid from the citizer.s of this Ma' ior the reli- f oi'the surlV'rinn miners or their Uuii icn of 'lay county or any oilier county of this state. I trust and hope the iorocroinr appeal oi the county commissioners will meet with a warm response in the bfaru of all benevolent people of the state to provide for the temporary relief of all who may be buffering for the necessaries of life. It is not a qi:e-tion w ith tne as f- who is ri;ht or wrong in the controversy b-tveen th operators and miners of Clay county, hnt it is simply a question of huai nity, to people who are utlennj for the want of bread. The people of Clay county should realize the fact that such relief call only last for a few days, and that the officers of the county have amp'e authority under the laws of the stxte to make lull provision for all w ho may need assistance. Tho legsl powers of tbe county commissioners and township trustees cannot be doubted. The laws authorizing sn h afti."taiire will he found iu sees. 6,071, 6,073, fi,ti, revicd statutes. I. No appropriation bus heeD made by the law of this state to meet uch coutuirenev- out of any public fund, and if great or u ties n?cted burdens should nnfortuuately fall npoa the people of ( lay or any other county, as snp;cestd by the corumWsioners, it is believed that the generous people of the state would compel their representatives to mak future appropriate appropriations to meet such expenditures. Ar.viM P. Hovev, Governor of Indiana. IgOOKlNO TOWARD SETTLEMENT. The Operators Willing to Meet the State Board of Charities The governor on Tuesday last addressed letters to both committees of strikers and operators, asking each if they would meet with the state board of charities, with a view of trying to arrive at a basis of settlement of the differences now existing between the two. In response to the above, the following letter was received from CoL Zimmerman of the operators: Tbe Hon. Alvin P. Hovey, Governor of Indiana: Iiur Sir I am ia receipt of your favor of this date. Meirs. Watson, Johnson and others are absent in Chicago. I have wire 1 thera to know if they are wiliiu to meet the committee referred to by you. Ou receipt of their answer 1 will communicate with you by telegram. 1 hnve no doubt, howe-'or, that the gentlemen will be pleased to talk with the committee you mention or any uthors on tho subject of a settlement of the wae question with tbe miners. Yours respectfully, Drazil, June U. M. C Zixmkrmav. The following telegram was also received in the afternoon. The operators will weft the committee on charltf;s r.tiv day next week after Mondav. Please notify me of tie time and pho. V.'. 11. Zimmerman. THAT PAY-ROLL It AVas Clearly Cooked Cp. For Xo Man Could Do That Work. A gentleman who is now a well-to-do merchant at Brazil, but who formerly was a miner, ends THE SpCTlKEl tha fcllowius coniruuni-

cation in regard to the JovrndTi article of the 17th in st. I was a miner for fifteen years, and was counted a good average workman. The Journal cires iu intormation from the pay-rolL Sometimes two or three men work on one number. Furthermore, no one man can in twelve consecutive days dhj and load the amount of coal indicated by the pay-roll that was published. In regard to smithing the price the operator charges per ton would 1 a fraction over tl.54. Again, no man can die that amount of coal w ith one ke? of powder. Twenty tons of Mtiminous coal to the keg is a very good average, and it will take more for block. The man who dug that n mount of coal with one keg of powder never was born. I am not a minerat present; neither have I beea for four y a-s, but I know whereof I speak. Reporters will come aud look at tbe pay-rolls and represent the matter from what they see. I have filled every occupation, almost, about coal works, and speak f otu experience. Tbe pay-rolls cannot fool iuc. Tbe man that uuu .'J6 worth of coal in twelve consecutive days well, his mother must have died with an overdose of protection shortly alter wa elected.

RELIEF FOR THE MINERS. 3Ioney Pouring In A Larger Sum Dls. tributl Than Ever Ilefore. B3AZIL, June 21. Special. The progress of the strike has developed a wide divergence of opinion among the residents of this city, but on one point they all agree, that is, the sooner the trouble is adjusted the better it will be for everybody. The miners realize this, of course, and the operators would probably acknowledge it, although they claim they would be little injured if the miues remained idle all summer. The prospect, therefore, that an adjustment may be reached through the medium of the state board of charities is hailed here with general satisfaction, and the sooner the board meets with the miners and operators the better it will please the citizens of Clay county. Such a meeting, of course, does not insure an arbitration, and there are those who believe the Brazil block coal company is not yet ready to resume work, being still hopeful of accomplishing all, or part of its double purpose of grinding down the miners and freezing out the smaller operators. There is evidence that the big company has been shaping affairs for the present ficht for a year or two, and it is feared it will not give up without a longer struggle. For more than a year the miners all over the county have been gradually reduced to severer atraits mainly by a lack of work. The effect has been felt not only by the miners, but by others. The mere fact that in the city of Brazil there is still a lively business does not disprove the stories of hard times among the miners, inasmuch as it shows simply that the little city has grown to a point where it can make a good showing even without the miners. Aa a matter of fact, the business done by the merchants of Brazil has declined deplorably in tbe last fifteen months all on account of the decrease in the earnings of the miners. There was a time when the pay-roll in Clay county amounted to $75,000, and one merchant who has studied the situation is authority for the statement that of the $75.000 there was $5-5,-OtiO spent every Saturday evening. The man who made this estimate and statement claims to have lost heavily in the lat year. He came, he aid, in order to get in with the flood, but went down with the low tide. There is no doubt, however, that with tho miners back nt work, at wages anything liae respectable, the former htilcyon times would soon return. Let the operators f-top trying to run a force twice too large for the capacity of their mines in order to always have the labor market overstocked, and matters will adjust themselves. In the meanwhile, let there be arbitration.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK. Roth Miners und Operators Consent To Meet the Board of Charities. A telegram was received Saturday by the governor from the miners' committee at Brazil stating that they were willing to meet the committee of operators and the state board of charities to arbitrate their differences and to try in some manner to effect a fair settlement of the difficulties. The governor has notified both committees that he has appointed Tuesday as the day of meeting. The board of charities will accordingly go to Brazil on the morning of that day and meet the miners and operators. It is earnestly hoped the meeting will result in an adjustment of the difficulties. The following shows how the news was received at Brazil: Brazil, Ind., June 22. Special. Mayor Herr to-day received a communication from the governor informing him that the state board of charities will visit Brazil Tuesday next to hold a conference with the operators and the ininer' committee for the purpose of effecting an adjustment of their differences. The miners have, all the while, been not only willing but have insisted on arbitration, which the operators have persistently rejected. The miners are prepared and willing to go before arbitrators and show why they cannot nfford to work for 70 cents per ton, but the operators, though they have time and again declared that they cannot pay more than this price, have uniformly refused to submit their reasons for a hearing, just as though they feel assured that they hold the winning hand in the game of stnrve out. Public sentiment here is universally favorable to an adjustment, that work in the mines may be resumed and the wonted channels of trade be reopened end revived. The miners' committee appointed for this conference is composed of J. Ilorsfield, Joseph Policy, Samuel Anderson, John Kennedy- and Wm. (Jalt. Richmond's Contribution, To the Editor 5i: At the regular meeting of the board of directors of tbe Jefferson club of TJchmond, Ind., it was unanimously agreed to draw on our treasurer for the sum of $25 and send the amount to you for the suffering coal miners of Clay county. Please find inclosed New York draft for the above amount, which you will please forward to the destitute miners. On behalf of the Jeflerson club the board of directors sent the above amount to you at your disposal to forward it to the place where most needed, assuring yoa that all the members of the Jetiersoa club greatly sympathize with the suffering miners and their beloved ones, and hope that there is somewhere a blessing in this reverse.

To the Editor Sir: Inclosed find draft for $10, which please appropriate to the benefit of the Clay county miners. It seems to me that too much cannot be said in behalf of these men in the columns of your paper. Their destitution is extreme and there is srrvat datiger that men, women an! children will perish for the want of the absolute necessaries of life. This ought not to be in thia world of plenty.

Sec. 10 of the act passed by the last legislature, providing for the furnishing of text-books for the common schools, requires that as soon as the state board of text-book commissioners shall have made a contract for books, the governor shall issue a proclamation announcing the fact, and then each county superintendent shall, within thirty days, be requested to give an additional bond, conditioned that he will faithfully perform all the duties required by him under the act. The bond is to be $100 for every 1,000 inhabitants of the county for which the superintendent is elected. In the counties of Green, Warrick aud Knox the commissioners claimed that the additional bond must be secured immediately, and for failure to comply the superintendents were ousted from office. cHate Supt. LaFollette at once issued a proclamation that the removals were illegal, bcause the proclamation referred to in sec. 10 is the eperial proclamation to be issued by the gov-

Philadelphia, June 23. A foolhardy experiment of two lads of a mechanical turn of mind resulted in both boys being killed yesterday, and two other persons injured. The dead lads were Harry and William Jesser, aged fifteen end teventeen respectively, residing at No. C21 S. Third-st. They were apt scholars iu a mechanical way, and were constantly etuplDvinptheirspire time running a small engine. For a few days pnt they had been generating steam ia an old range boiler, which they had set tip in the corner of the yard, under a ished. Steam was conveyed from the boiler by pieces of pas-pipe, while a small brick furnace was arranged under the boiler, where the boys had kinrtied a hot rire. Harry, who owned the encine, which was about eighteen inches lon r, had stated his intention to attach to it the family ice cream freezer and do away with hand turning. With that iu mind the lads conducted xhtir experiments yesterday. Whii-e Harry was oiling the engine and William wa banking up the fire with bricks, there was a terrific ex plosion which was heard tor squares around. Harry was thrown with creat force against a fence and instantly killed. His legs and arms were broken and one side of his head was horribly crushed. William was thrown further under the shed, and a flying brick evidently struck him in the head, fracturing his skull. Both his legs were frightfully crushed. He was taken to the Pennsylvania hospital, where he died iu about an hour. Little Henry Kniese, who was watching the experiment from a shed, was cut under the eye, and Mrs. Flora Kniese was severely scalded about the back. Internal Itevenne Collections. Washington, June 21.
