THE amount of coal gas and oil that 4s now being dtained from the interior will, says the Chicago Inter Ocesn, produce something of a vacuum in Mother Earth soongr or later. The present supply of gas is ‘enormous, Statistics for .oil show that in 1888 Pennsylvania produced 16,491,083 barrels; Ohio, 10,010,868; West Virginia, 119,448; California, 704,619; and other States 20,000 barrels. Just how long such a draft can be made and every year increased, and the walls hold, no one can say. It is possible that the supply will be equal to the demand. | ——— ‘ Dr. ZENGER, of Prague, a&voca.teb ‘the use of photography for weathe predictions on ship board, or at sta tions in the tropical cyclone belt.

‘BEGGS A PRISONER.

The Bellef So Strong That the Senfor Guardian of Camp 20 Knows More Than He Ought to Regarding Cronin’s Taking Off That He Is Held for Nafe Keeping -Burke’s Case Continued.

CHICAGO, June 27.—A panic has struck the members of Camp 20 of the Clan-nas Gael; some one in the ‘‘inner circle” is tell ing all he knows; John F. Beggs, senior guardian of the camp, has been arrested, and ere another twenty-four hours wholesale arrests and the most sensational developments are to be expected. . . Five days ago the present grand jury, after exhausting .all the evidence against Alexander Sullivan, Martin Burke, Woodruff, P. O'Sullivan, Coughlin and all the other suspects in sight, postponed the inquiry to.give the State’s Attorney time to develop a case against the clique of seven or eight men who formed the center of Camp 2. The names of these men are, besides one unknown, John F. O’Malley, Thomas Murphy, Lawrence R. Buckley, Harry Jordon, Dan Coughlin, P. O’Sullivan and John F. Beggs. The bureau of prosecution, armed by the information placed in its hands by a member of the ‘‘inner circle” last Monday, has been closely pressing this group until now oneisarrested and the evidence warrants theindictment ofothers, Beggs was arrested Tuesday afternoon soon afterleaving the office of the State’s Attorney. He made admissions to that official which indicated beyond much doubt that he had guilty knowledge of the Cronin murder. These admissions, taken in connection with evidence in the possession of the prosecuting attorneys in the case, will probably lead to the indictment of Beggs, and Mr. Longenecker hinted to the police authorities that it would not be ddvisable to let the exsenior guardian remain at large. On previous occasions when Beggs was examined he invariably denied that which he was forced to admit Tuesday. His admissions then were wrung from him by his heing confronted with tfacts. The man was 80 entirely uncertain, made so many shuffling and inconsistent statements, that it became apparent that he was being tampered with. So he was put behind the bars. 4

His arrest had a double purpose—first, to prevent his getting away before an indictment was found against him; second, to prevent his being tampered with by the agents of the trianglers. . The grand jury has resumed the inquiry into the Cronin case. The first witness was Dr. J. P. Case, who lives on Milwaukee avenue. The doctor testified that he had afast horse which Dan Coughlin and Burke, shortly before the murder, tried to hire for all-night service. He insisted that they put up $4OO guarantee that the animal would be returned in good condition, but this was refused’ and the men departed in any thing but good humor. Dr. Cass identified a picture of Burke as that of Coughlin’s companion. . “

Chief of Police Hubbard now admits that the authorities are not particularly anxious to find Patrick Cooney, for whom he sent his officers on a wild goose chase down into Indiana last week. This change of front is due to the fact that none' of the witnesses have been able to identify his picture, and that there is nothing against him except the fact that he is a friend of Burke's.

Wixnipeg, Man., June 27.—Burke was arraigned before Judge Bain Wednesday and again remanded until Tuesday. Counsellor W. L. Perdue demanded his immediate discharge on the ground that no evidence was forthcoming to substantiate the information upon which be was arrested. Judge Bain ruled that when the United States demanded the extradition of a man charged with crime all reasonable delay should be allowed to permit the authorities of that Nation to prove the claim. Detective Collins, of Chicago, testified as to Burke’s identity, and MecKinnon, a Canadian Pacific railroad police~ man, gave evidence regarding his suspicious actions at the depot on the day of the arrest. The remand was then granted. Burke was nervous and excited. x

It was learned upon perfectly reliable authority last night that when Burke purchased the ticket from Winnipeg to Liverpool he only deposited five dollars and gent a telegram to some point in Michigan, presumably Hancock, for the balance. The money was telegraphed and Burke promptly got his ticket. :

—f‘;i‘C*;Slv‘E;, Pa., June 27.—General Simon Cameron died at 8 o’clock Wednesday evenIng. ‘

The General’s condition during the day was rather encouraging, and death came suddenly during a weak spell. Up to the last attack he was conscious, and had ne trouble to swallow the food given him and which he appeared to assimilate.

[Simon - Cameron was born in Lancaster County, Pa., March 8 1799. He was left an orphan at an early age, but received a fair English education, and began to learn the printer's trade at the age of 9. He worked as a journeyman in Lancaster, Harrisburg and Washington, and so improved his opportunities that in 1820 he was' editing a newspaper in Doylestown, Pa., and in 1822 one in Harrisburg. As soon as he had accumulated sufficient capital he Dbecame interested in banking and railroad construction in the central part of the State. He was for a time Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania. He was elected to the United States Senate in 1845, the term ending in 1849. During thls period-he acted with the Democrats on important party questions, [such as the Missouri Compromise bill. This was repealed in 1854 and Mr. Cameron bsgame identified with the People’s party, which was subsequently merged into the Republican party. As its candidate he was reelected to the Senate for the full term of six years, beginning in 1857, a period which covered the exciting crisis of secession. During this time he was so earnest an advocate of peace that his loyalty was suspected. At the Republican convention which -nominated Abraham Lincoln Mr. Cameron was strongly supported for the Presidency, and again for the Vice-Presidency, but Jack ef harmony in the Pennsylvania delegation prevented his nomination to the latter office.. Mr. Lincoln at once called him to the Cabinet as Secretary of War. He advocated more aggressive, war measures than Mr. Lincoln was prepared to carry out, and when General Butler asked for instructions regarding fugitive slaves directed him to employ them ‘‘undér such organizations and in such occupastions as exigencies may suggest or require.” Similar instructions were given to General Sherman and other officers in the field. In his original draft of his annual report to Congress in December, 1861, he boldly advocated arming the fugitive slaves, but this was modified upon consultation with the other members of the Cabinet. Mr. Cameron resigned the Secretaryship January 11, 1862. He was appointed Minister to Russia, and his influence there undoubtedly tended to secure in a large measure the friendship of that nation during the civil war. His official conduct in a certain transaction was censured by the House of Representatives April 80, 1862, but Mr. Lincoln immediately sent a message placing with the heads of other departments an equal share in the responsibility. Mr. Cameron resigned as Minister to Russia November 8, 1862, and remained at home until 18¢6, when he was elected United States Senator,and appointed chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs on the retirement of Mr.. Sumner in 1872. He was sent to the Senate for the-fourtb time' in 1873, Hut resigned in favor of his son, J. Donald Cameron, the present senior Senator from Pennsylvania. During the yearsof Mr. Cameron’s active political life he was a powerful leader, practically dictating the policy of the Republican party n Pennsylvania, and wielding a strong influence over its policy in the Nation at large. ‘‘Lochiel,’’ his residence at Harrisburg, is a large, old-fashioned, but delightful place, and has welcomed within its hospitable walls at one time and another the leading men of the State and Nation.} S e

Those of Engineer Caldwell and George Fralich, a fireman, have not yet been found, but it is expected that they will be reached before long. The injured, so far as known, number eleven. The water in the creek at the point where the accident occurred is ' about twelve feet deep, and it is expected that a number of bodies will be found at the bottom of the creek under the wreckage. John 'H. Miller, a flagman on the freight, says that the proper signals were given, and Engineer Caldwell answered, but the speed was too high. When the 111-fated train left Bolivar about forty workmen boardéd her, but Conductor Barnhart put them off at Derry. When the train left there a great many of them boarded her again. Four of the isjured taken from one car said that eleven others were in the car, and in another box car, it is said by one of the rescued, there were fifteen or twenty men.

T TNt HONORED IN DEATH.

Thousands Attend the Funeral of Mrs. Hayes at Fremont, O.—Simple but Impressive Ceremonies — Touching - Addresses—Flowers in Profusion.

FreMoONT, 0., June 29.—The body of Mrs. R. B. Hayes, the late wife of the ex-Presi--dent, was "buried in Oakwood Cemetery Friday. The body was prepared for burial Friday morning. The face was natural Mrs. Hayes was arrayed in an ivory cream. satin dress, made for her when she was in/ the White House. When the sad. task was completed the members of the: family came to look upon the loved and. lost. Last came General Hayes himself, who, in a voice trembling with grief, begged to be left alone with his dead. When he came out and reverently closed the door his face was pale and calm, though there were traces of the tears that had forced their way. R > All business in Fremont was suspended in the afternoon, and during the funeral services at Spiegel grove the fine grounds of the house were crowded with the friends. and neighborsof Mr. Hayes. Fully 6,000 people were present and every carriage or other wheeled véhicle in the city was pressed into service .in carrying the throngs. .The ° casket containing the body was brought into the wide hall at:about 1 o’clock and a double row of people streamed. through. one row on each side, to take a last glance at the still face, reaching the grounds again through the wrear hall, from which the, greater number emerged - weeping. Upon the coffin-lid lay a bouquet of .wild roses, maiden-hair ferns and ripened heads of grain, the flowers sent from Mrs. Hayes’ old home in Chillicothe. Below this lay a branch of palm festooned - with lilies. The double stream of people continued until 3 o’clock. ;

The burial services were simple and im-~ pressive, opening with the reading of Psalm xxiii. by Rev. J. M. Mills, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, towhich Mrs. Hayes belonged. A quartette choir then sung the hymn, “My Jesus as Thou Wilt,” after which Rev. Dr. James .W. Bashford, president. of. Ohio Wesleyan University, offered prayer. The choir then sung the hymn-*‘When peace, like a river, attendeth: my way,” after which the venerable Dr. L. D. McCabe, who had known the dead from childhood, spoke in a voice vibrating with deep feeling and at times choked by emotion, her eulogy. Among other things he. said: . “The contact with the world did not spoil thatloving kindness of her nature. She was always finding some human heart which needed binding up. Much of her divine Lord's spirit she had in a ‘gender regard for humanity which could - brook no unkind word; indeed, could brook nothing which eould wound. a fellow-being, however lowly. She was one -‘bright ' example before the world of the union of charm of manner with a kindness so genuine that it. failed-under no combination of circumstances. Would that the fair picture could be ever kept. before the young womanhood of the whole world! “One who saw her much and studied her most attentively said: ‘She is the humblest and yet she is the wisest of us all.” Her counsels were, indeed, ‘with simplice ity and Godly sincerity.’ With many wearying social engagements incidental to her nigh position, she gave her time and thought unceasingly to benevolent and religious socicties. The eyes of the world had been upon her while she steadfastly adhered to her convictions of right, and the conscience of the world, through that moral heroism, received a quickening. it. will never, never lose.’’ :

A third hymn was sung and the services: | closed with the Lord’s Prayer, repeated by ! Rev. Henry Lang, pastor of the Evangelical - Lutheran church. ‘' The 'Grand. Army ° veterans marched through the: hall to take a farewell look at the face of her who was the veterans’ steadtast friend, and then deployed in double rank on the lawn facing the driveway along which the funeral procession moved. on its way to the cemetery, standing with bowed and uncovered heads as it passed. Then they marched across the grounds to the high road and headed the procession.

The score or more of surviv:Pf General Hayes’ old regiment, with ite badges bearing its name—the Twenty-third Ohio—volunteered -as a guard of honor to the hearse on the march. This simple tribute caused the tears to spring to General Hayes’ eyes when he was informed of it. ‘The ceremonies at Oakwood Cemetery were very brief. The pall-bearers were Burchard, Webb, Scott and Rutherford Hayes, Jr.; R. H. Platt, of Columbus; Thomas and Joseph McKell, of Chillicothes; General Mitchell, of Columbus; Lemuel Boggs and John Nelson, each either a son, nephew or cousin of Mrs. Hayes. The grave =~ was surrounded with a wide border of evergreen leaves, the ground in every direction: being covered for a distance of about four feet and the interior lined with the same, so that not a particle of earth or clay was visible. A band of roses .encircled the margin of the grave. The casket was immediately lowered, and Dr.. Bashford read. the simple and impressive Methodist buriak ritual. 2
