and one of the first temperance advocates, died ut Auburn, N. Y., aged 79. He was editor of the Northern Vhristafc. Advocate urtil 1856, whoa the gufcral conference removed him for his Bi&itioa sentiments. He then started fa Northern Independent, and continued it until stricken by paralysis while delivering a temperance wddress in tooper Institute, New York, in 1871 Thb corner-stone for the new Welles College for Women has been laid at Aurora, N. Y. Amoug those present were Chief Justico Fuller and wife. John Gilbert, the actor, died at Boston. Mr. Gilbert was the leading old man of the American stage, and has been before the public for sixty years. He was conspicuous in old-comedy parts, such as Sir Peter Teazle, Sir Anthony Absolute, ami Hardcastle, and has been held as a Baodel in his particular line. The vigor of his old age was remarkable, and the accumulated years failed to impair his mental grasp or dim his eyes. He was born in Boston in 1810. FotTR Pol iBh miners were 1 erribly burned by an explosion of gas in the Nottingham mine- of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, at Plymouth, Pa., and it is thought "they will all die from their injuries. Their names are: Michael Andrew, Simon Novalk, John Kutschki, and Joseph Taykxr. The accident was caused by th5 ignorance of the men, who went into a chamber, which was tilled with gas, without first testing the air. At the Sheepshead Bay (N. Y.) track, occurred the greatest event of the season in racing circles, the Suburban handicap, which was run under exceptionally favorable conditions of weather.

FATHER CARROLL IS DEAD. The Oldest Priest in the United States Passes Away. The Rev. Father John Carroll, of Chicago, the oldest priest in holy orders in the United States, and probably in the

world, has passed from this life to his eternal rest. Had he lived until the 30th of this month he would have completed his 93d year, having been born June 30, 1796. GENERAL CAMERON STRICKEN.

Paull, a bachelor farmer, was lolled by a tenant, whose daughter he had ruined; John Moore, another farmer, Jrilfed a neighbor, Henry Bradley, with j. cluo; and Doc Lawrance, a miner, killea Tom Stevens, a fellow miner, with a pick. All the murders wer-j committed within a radios of three miles. A Mammoth Enterprise Began. A Boston syndicate is about to purchase the Magdalene Islands in the Golf of St Lawrence for $500,000. It proposes to start large fishing works there, And make it a second Gloucester.

EASTERN OCCURRENCES.

Jik Keenan, the sporting man and backer of Jake Kiliain, died on the 16th at his home in Sonwrville, Mass., after a long illness. Keenan was looked upgn as the encyclopedia of sporting events of all kinds, and his judgment was so accurate that he rarely lost money In backing his opinion. STeenan's receipts from real estate and from betting were very large. He was the wealthiest sporting man in Boston. He was about fifty eight years of age. Thb Bev. William Hosmer, a conspie-

WESTERN HAPPENINGS. A tebkific cyclone passed through Ligonier, Ind., tea: ring down shade trees and unroofing nous as along its path. The fine brick dwelling of J. M. Betts was nearly destroyed and the new residence of W. E. Harding is a toi al wreck. A big foundry, Van Smith's livery stable, Abel Goldsmith's residence, the Ligonier Hotel and a number of other buildings were unroofed. The big bridge across Elkhart River was blown down and is a total wreck. Hundreds of fine fhade and fruit trees were destroyed. Several miraculous escapes from death were reported. The lots will exceed $10,000. Martin Burke, alias Delaney, was arrested at Winnipeg for complicity in the Cronin case, on information from Supt. Hubbard. He vas boarding the Atlantic express and had a ticket for Liverpool, England. He was taken to the station, where he gave his name as Martin Burke. G. W. Hubbard, General Superintendent of the Chicago Police, was immediately communicated with, and sent the following reply: "Hold Martin Burke, alias Delaney, who if concerned in the Cronin murder, by all means. Will send officer immediately." AijEXAndeb SuUiiVAx, who was under arrest f or complicity in the Cronin murder, has ben admitted to bail by Judge Tuley in habeas corpus proceedings. Bail watt fixed at $20,000, which was forthcoming, and the necessary bonds having been sigied the accused was liberated. Bepoets havd been received of destruction in Kansas by storm and flood. Allen County has suffered severely from foods in the Kosho River and its principal tributaries, ill the streams being out of their banks, Hooding the bottoms for a mile or more on either side. There has been no loss of life or of live stock, as those living on the low land were warned in time, but hundreds of acres of wheat which was just ripening and promised a very large yield will be almost a total loss. The St. Louis, Wichita & Western Railroad bridge across Bock Creek has been undermined. Nearly a quarter of a mile of track has been washed from the bed, while the load has been seriously damaged. A largo number of email bridges and culverts along the wagon roads have been washed out. A violent rainstorm on the headwaters of the Walnut River caused an immense flood to reach Augusta and Eldorado. The waters washed away 1,500 feet of track for the Missouri Pacific, and carried away twelve residences. Four farmers were drowned a few mile north of Eldorado. East of Eldorado, on branches of the Walnut River, the Missouri Pacific lost six bridges. At Augusta 500 feet of Santa Fe track was lost and the bridge of the Trisco was carried away. Great damage was done to wheat in the rich bottoms. It is estimated that over a million bushels was destroyed. Reports from other places in the adjacent country tell of great damage to crops, and some loss of life. Mb. ani Mbh. John Leavitt have been arrested at Lincoln, Neb., charged with murdering their two daughters. A few days ago Mr. and Mrs. Leavitt claimed to have found their children with their throats cut upon returning from a visit to Gresham. The Chicago police are looking for Patrick Cooney, and they want him badly, for he is believed to be "Frank Williams' brother," and implicated with Martin Burke in the Cronin murder. Cooney is a bricklayer, and also a member of the notorious Camp :i0 of tho Cian-na-Gael, and he is said to have left town on the uight of Dr. Cror in's funeral, three weeks ago. A pobtion of the -scaffolding in the new cable power-house in course of erection at the corner of Milwaukee

ttve,ar3 and Cleaver street, Chicago, gave v.y precipitating five workmen to the bnwdttrent of the building, a distance of thirtv-one feet. One of the victims died an hour after the collapse, one wan so badly injured that he will die, and throe others were seriously hurt. This is tho second fall of this scaffold this month. Two weeks ago four men were injured by a fall from a height of fourteen feet. The injured are; Peter Doornbos, killed; Tony George, skull fractured, will die; Ignatz Sieroslowiiki, internal injuries; John Schultz, skull fractured nnd internal injuries; Joseph Magnelli, head bruised. Martin Burke, the young Irishman under arrest at Winnipeg as one of tho murdeiers of Dr. Cronin, is perhaps the most impoitant "suspect" who has yet been placed under lock and key. His photograph has been identified by the Carlsons at Chicago as frank Williams, the stranger who rented the cottage on North Ashland avenue, and Hakan Mor-

tenson, the expressman, as the man who employed him to carry the furuituro from the fiat at 117 South Clark street to the cottage. The final papers have just been recorded by which the B all i more and Ohio Telegraph Company transfers to the Western Union it right and title to all property of every description. The second section of the west-bound fast mail on the Pittsburg, Ciucinuui it St. Louis Bailroad was wrecked a; New Cumberland Junction, near htenber.ville, Ohio. Two men were instantly killed, one was fatally wounded and eight others more or less seriously hurt-. The train at the time of the accident was muning at the rate of sixty-five miles an hour. The track has been in bad condition ever since the flood of two weeks before, and such a high rate of speed has only been possible at great risk. When nearing the junction on a sharp curve three postal cars left the track and went over the embankment, killing all but twe of those in them. The list of killed and injured is as follows: Killed J. H, Payne, Indianapolis, rod. ; John Rh hi eh art, Effingham, IU. ; S. M. McFarland, Mansfield, Pa. Wounded W. & Belton, Newark, Onto; Dick ArniBtron, Indianapolis ; J. E. Mathews, Indianapolis : Klmer Bezmexy New Comerstown, Ohio; J. W. Bishop, Knightstown, Ind. ; Frank Miner, Effingham, IU. ; A. E. Bailey, Miners ville, Ohio; Mont Sheetz, Steubenville, Ohio. McFarland and Scheetz are brakemen. The rest are all postal clertfl. Mabtxn Bukke, alias Delaney, arrested at Winnipeg for complicity in the Cronin murder, has been indicted by the special Grand Jury at C hicago investigating the casef The adiitional evidence needed to satisfy the Grand Jury was furnished by Hakan Mortensen, the Swedish expressman who transferred the furniture from 117 Clark slrect to 1872 North Ashland avenue. When the group picture of Irishmen around Tim dean's monument in Mount Olivet Cemetery, taken at the time of its dedication, was Known him, Mortensen thought that Burke's miniature was that of one of the men who hired him to transport the furniture. Then the photograph enlarged from this picture was shown him. and in regard to this larger photograph Mortensen was more certain. Mbs, Charlotte Allen, aged 70, living near Washington, Ind., has confessed that in November, 1888, she murdered her husband, uhese body was fouud tied to a tree, with his throat cut from ear to ear. It was supposed that the victim had committed suicide. Mrs. Allen says that quarrels as to the ownership of thearm led to the tragedy. Mrs. Luther Dickey, of No. 270 Warren avenue, Chicago, and her entire family, consisting of five d ughters and one son, were all poisor ed by eating overripe raspberries, and so severely that one of the children will dia, and the lives of two others are despaired of.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Charles H. Litce:man, ex-General Secretary of the Knights of Labor, has been appointed a special agent of the Treasury Department with the understanding that he shall make special inquiry into the matter of alien contract labor and the observance of a violation of the statutes regarding the same.

SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A bloody affair has occurred at Given's Store, eighteen miles southeast of Austin, Tex. It seems that a colored constable named Wilson undertook to arrest a white man whom he c harged with horse theft. The man resisted and a fight ensued between him and his friends and the constable and his friends. Six-shooters were used freely and four white meu and two negroes were killed outright, while at least a dozen other persons were wounded, some fatally. A disastrous wreck occurred on the Tennessee Coal & Iroa Bailroad near Birmingham, Ala., in wh.ch Walter Bearty and Henry McCauley, carpenters, were killed and nearly one hundred men were injured, some of them having limbs broken. None of the injured will die. Twenty buildings at Nashville, Ark., were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $20,000, with about $10,000 insurance. Two years ago, at Memphis, Tenn., the Senatobia cotton-shnls were burned, and the insurance was paid promptly. The insurance companies, believing that the fire was caused by sparks from locomotives, have sued the Mississippi & Tennessee and the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas roads for 340,000, the amount paid under the policies.

ACROSS THE OCEAN. At Paris the great raca for the Grand Prix de Paris was run on the ICth. Vas-

istas won. Pourtent second, and Aerolite ! third. There were thirteen starters. May- j

pole, the favorite in tne betting, came in sixth, with Kagan and Minthe just ahead of her, in the order named. The betting just before the race ws 50 to 1 against Yasistas. Ostbog, a Bussian .town situated on the Black Sea near Odessa, has been nearly destroyed by fire. A thousand people have been made homeless, and the damage is estimated at 1,000,000 rubles.

POLITICAL PORRIDGE. Pennsylvania State voted on the 18th inst on the quostion of the adoption of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicants in the State, and returns from sixty-four of the sixty-seven counties ot the State give a majority of lt4,165 against the amendment, lb e counties not yet heard from are Carbon, Clinton, and Elk. Tho State voted

also on the question of the adoption of an amendment abolishing the poll tax, and forty-two counties, not including Allegheny show a majority of 4,525 in favor of it. The rural districts have voted steadily against this amendment, and, unles" the remaining counties show a marked change, tho poll tax will remain in force. The Now Hampshire Senate and House voted separately for a United States Senator and elected W. P.. Chandler, the. Republican caucus nominee. In the Senate the vote stood: Chandler, 18; Harry Bingham, 0. The vote in the House was: Chandler, 105; Harry Bingham, KJ7; L. F. McKey, 3; J. H. Gallinger, 1; D. Knowles, 1. FRESH AND NEWSY. The agreement between England, Germany, and the United State on Sanioan affairs has boon signed at Berlin. It will not be made public until confirmed by the Senate. While it is called an agreement by officers of the State .Department, Mr. Walker Blaine says that it will undoubtedly require ratification by the Senate, us it is a matter atteoting the foreign policy of tho United States. The agreement was cordially approved by all tne members of the conference and by their respective governments. Tho best of feeling prevailed at tho termination of the labors of fche commissioners. The agreement guarantees an 'autonomous administration of the islands under the joint control of Germany and America, England acting as arbitrator in the event of differences arising. The Samoans are to elect their own King and Viceroy, and to be represented in a Senate composed of the principal chiefs and chambers elected by the people. Samoa is to have the right of levying duties of every kind. The treaty also stipulates that the Germans shall receive a money indemnity for their losses. A special court will be appointed to deal with the land question. As the Americans made their adhesior. conditional upon the ratification of the treaty by the United States Senate, the status quo will, therefore, obtain in Samoa until December. The report of the Geological Survey Office for 1888, which has been made pub-

lie, embraces the following statistics of

importance: Iron and steel products, valued at $140,0(0,-

000, a decrease as compared with :S87 of $26,108,000: cold, $a3,175,O0O, an increase of

$75,000; silver, $43,000,000, being 10 pel: cent, increase ; copper, 115,t45 short tona, an increase of 20 per cent. : lead, 180,55?: short

tons, about 20,000 tons increase ; zinc, 559,030

short tons, an increase of 55,000 tons; quicksil

ver, 33,250 llftsks. decrease of 510 flasks : nickel

shows a decrease of 18,000 in value; coal, an increase of 18.000,009 tons, an increase in value

of $.'10,500,000. Total valuo of all ntital products, $255.234. 403 ; total of all mineral products, $328,914,528 ; making a grand total of &501,ii5yf931.

K. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of

trade says:

The better feeling which was observed a week

ago in the iron and steel and the woolen indus

tries still continues, and improvement js now

felt in prices as well as in magnitude of trans

actions. The news as to railroad properties ia more favor&ble.. and earnings continue in ex

cess of last year's. The general average of

prices has etgain advanced a little. Keports from other citiett indicate improvement in trade at Cleveland and Pittsburgh, and in the wcol and

groceries trides at Philadelphia, br.t are other

wise oui mue cnangea. collections snow no

improvement on the whole. Tho glass trade ia fail. For anthracite coal there is a bet :er de

mand with xed-uoed output. The sales of south

ern iron continue large and prices of pig are rather lower. Breadstuffs are stronger. Less favorable crop reports are the pretext ; prob

ably excessive speculative sales are the cause. Pork products and hogs are lower, but oil has

advanced. The rise in raw sugar continues, and

refined has been marked up. No disturbance

results in ':he money market from the heavy exports of gold, in part because during the week the treasury has paid out .3,G00f0LO uior than

it has taken in. rlhe bunnies b lain res number

2 HI as compared with a total of 225 the week

previous. 1'or the corresponding week of last ytax the figures were 232.

WOODRUFF'S LAST TALE.

HIS STOBT OF THK DETAILS OF THB CRONIN MUrtlXEK,

The Horpc-Thier Claims Conghlln, O'Sul livan, McDougrall and O'Shea were Concerned in the Crimo and Alexander Sullivan Paid the Murderers Money. Frank Woodruff, under indictment at Chicago for complicity I)i Dr. Cronin 's murder, has made another alleged confessin, i:a -which lie claims to toll tho v. hole story of the crime, briefly told, his rtoiy of tho Cronin murder is as follows: Ho sav3 he came to Chkaoro March 2ft and

put up at the Merchants' Exchange hotel,

South Wat.T street. The proprietor got him a chance to work for a German gardener at 17o Fouthport avenue, Ho remained there four days, and becoming sick, on March 80 stared for the county hospital, but drirted to P. Sullivan's place in Lane park. Woodruff says ho was a volurit3 r o the Canadian side durin; tho Fenian raid, and a member of the 24th 'Kent battalion, whose headquarters wero at Chatham. He then had an opportunity to learn a great deal about Irishmen and Irish societies. As soon as he saw O'&uJlivan he decided he was a Fenian and commenced, a conversation on the subject of the Fenian raid. O'Sullivan told him he wo:ild get him some work if possible, but a day or eo afterward he (Woodrufl") went to work at Dean's livery stable. He says he met Dan Coughiin Jinit on Wells street in a saloon, and the second time on April 1 at the corner of Wells and Division streets. They started down town and hs.d gone but two blocks when they mat O'Sullivan, tho iceman. Two days later (April 8) Woodruff nays he went into the rear room in Sol Van Praag's isaloon on Fourth avenue and found Coughiin and a man name! Melville drinking there. An introduction followed and Melville gave Woodruff ii a;ad told him he might have some w rk for him to do. Woodruff says two days afterward (April ;) he vient to McCoy's hotel to seo Melville, but did not find him, and on tho way buck, while going north, he met Coughiin and a num named McDou all in front oif tho Northwestern depot. Woodruff says Ike first met McDougall during the Fenian rebellion, when the lattor was on the American side of tho river at Niagara. McDou;?all told Woodruff to

call him "William. n Alter a talk between Coughiin and McDougall the former went off and the la.ttor led Woodraif first on a round through West side resorts and then, late at night, to tho flat at 117 South Clark street They f lept together that night in :ho fiat and in tho morning McDouge.ll told Woodruff that it was best lor him to go to Alexander Sul .ivan ;for wsrk, intimating that tho work was 4 'crooked. M Accordingly the next day ho called at Alexander Sullivan's office, but the latter gave him a verj cool reception and told him that if hehai any work: for him ho would toll Williams (McDougall.) The next clay (April 7) Woodruff says ho met Williamson a grip car going: nortii on the North Side and told him how Sulii van had repul.-ed him. They got off at Division street, and had walked but a bl.ock when ti ey met Alexander Sullivaru Ho talked with Williams and Woodruff, and then took the former abide and talked to him in a low tone of voice and gave him some money. Woodruff says that Mr. Sullivan tien asked his pardon for tho repulse of the day before and gave him to understand that ho might need him for some work. Woodruff says he saw W illiams and Coughiin on April 30, and that each asked too whereabouts oitho other. On the cfternoon of May 4, he says, Coughiin called at Dean's livery stable and hired him to carry a trunk and paid e ver $35. Wooclru:! then tells tho story of tho night of the murder much as ho told it to Chief Hubbard. He says ho drovo out on Lincoln avenue to Ashland avenue, and mot "Williams" and "Melville." Ho waited in front of tho cottfoge while Williams and Moll ville, and P. O'Sullivan carried out the trunk. They drove to the lake shore with xho trunk, leaving O'Sullivan behind to clean up the house. After leaving the body in tho catch basin and the true k on Evamstcn avenue they drove back past the cottage and tsaw a woman, supposed ito bo Mrs, Wh&l-an, going; out of tho cottage in the rear. Woodruff embellishes the story with many detail:. He says when P. O'Sullivan came out of the cottage witii the trunk he had a paint brush in his ha:ad. He says; McDougall was a Philadelphia blacksmith and that Melville was a mechanic of some sort. He says he was sometimes known as O'Shea. Chief Hubbard says that he has thought for a week past that Woodruff was tho man who d rove the horse which carried tho

trunk away from the Carlson cotta ee.

His opinion is not founded entirely on

Woodruff's statements, as he Lelieves

Woodruff to be a polished liar. As re

gards the other parts of the confession,

Chief Hubbard says he took but little

stock in them and he does not believe

Woodratf knows anything about the de

tails of the plot or the identity of the people engaged in it outside of the man

who employed him to carry tho trunk away. State's Attorney Longenecker relies upon the story of Woodruff as good evidence. "You see,' said h, "that while Wood ruff has not told anything very new he has reaffirmed tho confession, that he mado to Chief Hubbard and supported it by many circumstances known to us before. On tho whols I think we may consider his confession as: pretty near tho truth at ou t this business. He tells us that he was sick for two weeks wtth the old German at 175 South port avenue: that ho went to P. O'Sullivan's for work; that he staid at tho American Exchange hotel andithat he received money from the American express company. He tells where he met Cougiilin aed O'Shea and McL'ougall, and in short at every point in his narrative he supplies those Utile details which when veritiod prove tho truth of a largo part of the story." "Do you know anything about O'Shoa

or McDougall?"

4h'I never hesard of O'Shea. McDougall, I

think is known to Dillon.'

"What do you think of what Woodruff

says about Aolxander Sullivan:-"

"It is characteristic ot Sullivan to have

told Woodruff that ho di 1 not know him and that he had no work for him to do,

but it semis improbable that Sullivan

paid money to the murderers."

juA what was coming, wheu a powerful colored man ascended the stairs with what appeared to be a hug baby in his arms. As the covering was removed from the supposed infant, Chief Clerk Quick nearly fainted, for under the blanket was seen the head of a middleaged negro. The chin and upper lip were covered with a heavy growth of hair, and the face of the strange bundle was really ah attractive one. Below the neck all that is left of the Vdy of tin strange individual would rot measure three feet in length, and with the exception, presumably of the organa which keep him alive, tlrs man is completely ossified. His legs and arms, which are not much larger around than a walking-stick, have the appearance, and give out the ring wheu struck, of stone or metal. This new-comer for dime museum fame is Lucian Norval Monroe, who was born a slave in Virginia in January 1847. At 8 years of age his left leg began to ossify, and two years later the btrange disease took possession of his right foot. In 1882 his rigtt hand and arm became solely bone. The next year his left arm was affected, and in 1SG2 hif? neck "set," as h3 expresses it, and .since that time he has berjn powerless to move and has felt no pain. He has a good appetite and appears to be

Xew Yor fe World - Incidents of Shiiwrcck, A bright young Swede, who happened tf be a passenger on the ill-fated steamer Danmark, arrived in the city a few days ago, and he tells many interesting talesof the fearful days of the wreck in mid ocean. When the passengers were informed that the vessel must sink he said, the women and children began to cry and moan pitifully, and he declaresthat those cries will ring in his ear until he dies. The men on loard grew pale, but uttered no word they looked at one another with a fixed expression, and paced the deck with hard-set jaws. A few of the younger men indulged in a good cry, and then braced up manfully to meet the emergency. When the Missouri hove in sight there was great rejoicing on board. They could save tLeir lives, but not their luggage. The Captain of the Danmark had a very intelligent dog, and he hated to see the animal drown so he resolved to shoot him. Taking him into his cabin, he drew his revolver, pointed it at a vital part, and pulled the trigger. The cartridge snapped, but did not explode. The doer seemed tc see what was meant.

and, dashing out of the cabin door, he rai to the rail, mounted it in a boundj and plunged into the sea. He preferred drowning to shooting. This young Swede had a suit of clothes in his satchel, and he put them on over his old suit. As he was lifted in turn over the Missouri's, side his outer coat was caught ty tho tackle and his sleeve was torn oft But he had his health and one good suit, ami he could stand the exposure of sleeping upon the deck of the rescuing ship, herded in with Lis fellows.

Young men who come from the country to the town, and who get on in the world, are often ashamed of their parents, of the rustic dress they once wore, and of the simple but honest and kindly ways of their childhood. And too often when they assume the fashionable clothes and adopt the fashionable ways of their new friends they leave behind them the religion of their childhood and forget the piety which they learned at a mother's knee. They have outgrown the priestly dress in which their mothers dedicated them to God, and think her religion old-fashioned , and worn out. This is false shame. It is a vun against the dearest and most sacred instincts of our nature. So far from being manly, it is mean and dastardly. Depend upon it, the man who will have most of the esteem of his fellow creatures and of the favor of Heaven will be he who keeps unchanged all through life the mantle of heavenly devotion with which Lis mother -clotfie him. He who makes the religion of bis youth the habit of his lite his garment and ( way of acting all through will com to honor and will enjoy the proud ble&sing of consistency. His life will be a( gracious verity, like that of Sam ueljf it will have one steadfast purpose running through it all. The outer life will (be of one peace with the inner; one party will not reproach the other; and whi he seems, that he ever is. Gooxf WoHs,

They Told a Little Too Much,

Aj few days ago an Irishman living in NeW" York City saw in the list of arrivals at Castle Garden the names of a couple of men with whom he had been acquainted many years ago in Ireland. Wishing to show them how he had got along n America, he hunted them up and asked, them to take diiner at his house. The host had not heard anything of their eareer since ho left his native land. Wjiile at the table the poteen flowed freely and it soon loosened their tongues so, that they told stones about many things. As they drank

deeper and talfced louder, it turned

out that both of tthem had been hired to do service some time ago in evicting:

the tenants i:rom a certain Irish estate and 'they boastedhow, in one case, they

drove an old man; out of his cabin by

breaking in the ) roof. I lie family at whose table thev sat srrew excited over
