BURKE’S RECORD.

The expression “Clan-na-Bael conspiracy” conveys precisely the idea that the grand jury has conceived of the cause of the assassination from the evidence which has so far been presented tt» them, they feel Certain that the rernoval Of Dr; Cronin was accomplished as the almost direct r*sult Of the teaching of the more radical wing d’ the organisation, and on the resumption of their labors to-day they will go deeper into the secrets, teachings and doctrines of the order than they have yet done. Chief of Detectives Elliott made the startling statement Saturday that Burke was wanted for another murder besides that of Cronin, farther than this general statement Lieutenant fitliott would not go; but iie promised to go into particulars in a few days. The authorities have also obtained additional clews In regard to Patrick Cooney, Burke’s pal, who is now confidently belteved_by the police to be *‘J. B. Stmouds,” or one of the “Williams brothers,” Burke beiug the other. Detective Palmer has discovered that ou the day of Burke’s arrest at Winnipeg Cooney left the city, being welbsupplied with funds by a man who is known to the police, and is beiug shadowed. The police claim to be ou the right scent, and say they will have Codaey behind the bars iu less than a week. Chief Hubbard has reduced Sergeant Stifft, oue of exCaptaiu Sehaack’s subordinates, to the rank of patrolmau, presumably because he has received information which has l< d him to snspect that the officer has been “giviug away” the secret movements of the police in the Cronin case, which have been used to advantage by friends of the murderers. Ch£f Hubbard, Captain S -hneltler aud Detemve Palmer are In a jolly frame of mind. The cause of the sudden change of feeling was the complete identification •f MartM Burke, the Winnipeg prisoner, as one ™ the principals in the horrible butchery. The authorities are now sure that they are working in the right direction. Superintendent Hubbard remarked somewhat anxiously Saturday: “It would be all right if we only had Cooney. If we could oulv get our hands I ou that scoundrel Iheu we would listen to a confession aud commence to bring in the culprits.” The Loudou Times has become suddenly interested in the Cronin case, and it is expected that the paper has some striking revelations in connection with the murder that will be given to the public in a short time. This morning a clerk from Lawyer Frank Collier’s office appeared at the corouer’s office with a copy of a cablegram just received from Solicitor Soamss of tho London Times, iu which Mr. Collier is authorized to obtain, as speedily as possible, a legal certified copy of the complete proceedings of the corbuer’s inquest. This will necessitate a copy beingmade of the eleveu hundred type-written pages turned out by the short-hand men at the inquest. The public is left to guess what object the Loudon Times may have with a copy of all the evidence taken before the corouer’s jnry. It is said that the matter was to have been kept a secret. In connection with the cablegram it may be mentioned that Frank Collier is on his way to London, having left Chicago several days ago. A copy of the evideuce wi!l be prepared next week by the clerks of the Corouer’s office at n cost of |250 or more.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. Tnru Hoys Whoso Wttiktthleol lient Cost Them Their UfM. Philadelphia, June it.—Harry and William Jesser.aged fifteen and seventeen years respectively, living at N>. 612 South Third street, were killed Saturday by the explosion of an old range boiler, with which they were experimenting. A boy named Henry Kneise was cat in the face, and Mrs. Flora Kneise was badly scalded about the baek. The Josser boys were fond of mechanical experiments and were using the old.boiler to generate steam which ran a miuature engine. The steam passed through gas-pipes from the boiler to tho engine. 1 The boys intended to attach the engine to an ice-cream free* <r so that hxndtnrning could be dispensed with. While Harry was oiling the engine and Willie was banking the fire with bricks a terrific explosion occurred, which was felt for blocks around. Both boys were hurled some distance and frightfully crushed, both by being thjrowa against the walls and by being struck with flying bricks and pieces of metal. Harry died instantly, and Willie lived onlr an bonr. The little Kaiese boy and his mother were watching tho experiment from an adjacent shed. The Star-Spangled Han-ter. New Yoek.

No one who knew Grant is likely to believe that he held tho negro fit for citizenship He supported the negro governments at the South with tho army as a party measure. Harrison is different in this respect only because the times are different. As a partisan he resembles Grant more than he does Hayes, Garfield or Arthur, each of whom had individuality enough to assert individual opinions on occasion. It is nf to be expected that Mr. Harrison wilt do any thing of the kind-’v He is no better than his party, and he could not well be worse, liis “Southern policy,” when it is viewed retrospectively, will probably show no change from tfi<? old Republican policy of sectionalism.—St- Louis Republic. _ , A DIGNIFIED REBUKE.1 How a Democratic tluilgt Replied to a Request for HU Ketlguatlou.

To a lotter from Miller requesting his resignation, Sandford replied asking if there wore any charges against him and stating that it would he unbecoming and improper for him to resign until they were proved or disproved. This brought a reply from Miller in which hC said: "The President has become satisfied that your administration of tho office was not in harmony with the policy he deemed proper to be pursued with reference to Utah affairs, and for this reason he desired to make a change, and out of courtesy | gave yjAtvn opportunity to resign." ■ The^ige’s answer was to the point- . He wrote as follows: “In reply I have. the honor to say that my earnest purpose while on the bench as Chief Justice of the Territory has been to administer justice and the laws honestly and impartially to all men, under i tho obligations of my oath of office. If the President of the Uniied States has any policy which he desires a Judge of the Supreme Court to carry out in reference to Utah affairs, other than the one I have pursued, you may say to him that he has done very eydl to remove me.” Whether this message is conveyed to Harrison or not is not stated, but it will probably warn Miller against entering into any particulars hereafter regarding tho cause of removals.— | Chicago Herald.
