Butfterfield, who was given a deed for a half interest in 220 acres of property in the city by Martin Bearer, father of the defendant, over thirty years ago.

EASTERN OCCURRENCES. At their closing session in Pittsburgh, Pa., the Amalgamsited Association of Iron and Steel Workers elected officers, William We the being again chosen President. The nrm of Jones k L&ughlin were the first to sign the new scale. At Philadelphia two young gentlemen accompanied by two young ladies engaged arowboat at one of the boat-houses on the Schuylkill Biver in Fairmount Park and started out for an afternoon's fleasure. They ventured too close to airmount dam, and owing to a break in

the crest of tbe stricture, which caused an unusually heavy Adw of water, their boat was drawn over and all four of the occupants were drownc d. The Versailles (Conn.) Woolen Company, manufacturers of woolens, has failed, with liabilities of $165,000, and nominalassets of $183,000. At a meeting of the National Boiler Makers' Trade Association at New York, Thomas J. Currnn, of New York, was elected President, and Thomas Dwyer, of Chicago, Secretary. Walter and George L. Halfonl, aged 10 and 16 years respectively, of Philadelphia, Pa. wore drowned in Big Timber Creek, near Weetville, N. J.

Charles ie Baun, the defaulting cashier of the National Park Bank of New York, who rati away to Canada with $95,000 of the bank's funds but was extradited, pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery in the second degree. He was sent to State's Prison for live years and seven months. For several days past there have been evidences of some ocean disaster in the washing ashore of wreckage along the shores at Vineyard Haven, Mass. A bundle of womars clothing, evidently done up in great haste, has been picked up on the beach at Edgartown. Considerable wreckage, painted green arjd Blate color, is coming ashore on the island. Among that found at Smith's Point were gilt moldings in considerable quantities, one large glass door with three ground-glass circular top lights, one window-sash, evidently belonging to some stoaxner, and also steamer Victoria bills of lading. Wine-cards of the steamship Hayti an Republic were washed ashore at Nantucket. A mast about two feet in d: ameter, square-rigged, with wire rigging, was also found with the wreckage at th it point. Everything points to a collision between the Victoria and the Haytiau Republic. Fire in the Firs t Ward of Johnstown, Pa., consumed all bat three of the build

ings in the district bounded by Market and Walnut streets and by Main street and the river. Twenty-five houses were totally destroyed, including the large brick school-houst. Many of the build

ings destroyed hud been washed from their foundations, though many of them contained household goods which had been saved from the flood. But a small amount of these goods were saved. The fire is supposed to have originated from sparks flying from the burning debris in the neighborhood. Ik a riot between colored men and Hungarians at Havarstraw, N. Y., four of the latter were shot, one being killed instantly, and another mortally wounded. John McDonald, of Waterbury, Conn., has just reovered his eyesight of which he has been deprived more than thirty years. At a meeting of the Association of Editors of American Medical Journals, held at Newport, B. I., J. M. Love, of St. Louis, was elected president; G. W. Dulles, of Philadelphia, vice-president; and J. L. Gray, of Chicago, secretary. MiCHAEii Rizello, who murdered Paymaster McClure and Stable Boss Hugh Flanagan, was hanged Tuesday at Wilkesbarre, Pa.

The New York Supreme Court has decided in the case of murderer Kemmler, sentenced to die by electricity, that evidence shall be taken as to the effect of the electric current on the human body. Counsel for the condemned man set up the plea that death by electricity was cruel. A number of the under-class men at Yale failed to pass the examinations, among the victims being the captain of the freshmen crew md the captain of the freshmen nine. Three freight trains were wrecked on the Pennsylvania railroad the other day, about a mile east cf Latrobe, Pa. Two freight trains weret elescoped, and caught the east-bound train just as the latter was passing. Thirty-s x cars and two engines were wrecked One of the engines with several cars rolled over the embankment and fell into ;he river. To add to the horror of the wreck the cars caught fire. At least tweity-five persons lost their lives and prcbably more. Twenty others were more or less seriously injured and some of them, it is believed, can not recover. At Holyoke, Mass., Mrs. Lizzie Brennan has been arrested on suspicion of having poisoned her husband and two sons in order to cbtain the insurance which she had seemed upon their lives. The amounts of tho policies ranged from $300 to $2,000. Hr husband died under suspicious circumstances two months ago. Six weeks ago her son John died. She supposed that his insurance had been increased, but on claiming it found the increase had erroneously been made in the policy of his brother Thomas, who was then taken tick and died in great agony. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Martin Btbke, alias Delaney, has been positively identified at Winnipeg by Expressman Martinson, of Chicago, as the man who hired him to haul the furniture from the room ) at 117 Clark street, Chicago, to, the Carlson cottage in Lake View. The identification was most complete. In order thf t no undue advantage should be taken cf the prisoner be was placed in a crowd of nearly one hundred persons before Man.innon was allowed to see him. Martinson at once recognized him as his employer at the time mentioned. While C. F. Painter, cashier of the San Miguel Valley Bank, at Telluride, Col., was out, three men entered the bank and demanded the- funds of the bookkeeper at the poin( of a revolver. After securing the bark funds they joined a fourth robber, bo was holding their horses just outside the bank. They left town on the run, fixing shots in the air to frighten citizens. It is not known what amount they secured. The carelessness of a servant in lighting a kerosene stove caused the death, at Kansas City, MoM of a 5-year-old boy and the fatal burning of his mother. The victims are a Mrs. Martin and little Lester Martin. Tha servant escaped with slight injuries. Spokane won the sixth American

Derby, run at Chicago on the 22d inst., by one-half length, Sorrento being second, and Betrieve a close third. Proctor Knott finished absolutely last. Time, 2:41.

Captain Muhrell, of the steamship Missouri, has had conferred on him, by order of the King of Denmark, the knighthood of the Order of Dunnebrog. It is reported from St, Louit that Mr. Pierre Lorillard has left that city after making an unsuccessful attempt to form a tobacco trust composed of the Lorillard, Legget & Meyers, Drummond, and P. J. Sorg companies. Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gacl, at Chicago, has been disbanded. This camp is the one to which Dr. Cronin belouged, and which, it is thought, contained many if not all of his brutal murderers. Tho story is that it was Edward Spellinan, acting in his capacity of District Officer of Illinois and Michigan, who disbanded it. When this informa

tion came upon the State's Attorney and the investigating committee it was a complete surprise. They were interested in preserving the camp intact for ihe present, their purpose being to obtain possession of all its records. The disbanding of the camp means the destruction of the records and the further thwarting of the authorities iu their endeavor to investigate the secret doings of the notorious club. The State's Attorney has now a strong suspicion that Spellman disbanded tho camp for the sole purpose of having its records destroyed. The Executive Committee of the Clan-na-Gael have issued a manifesto to the public in which they say that the organization should not be held responsible for Dr. Cronin's death. In the course of the manifesto they say: While we hold that a certain amount of privacy is justifiable aud even necessary in conducting the proceodiiigii of an organization like the Clan-na-G&el we distinctly and emphatically disclaim any right or in tention to pledge, bind, order, or authorize any one to commit any act forbidden by the laws of the United States, or to conceal knowledge which he may possess of any crime when summoned to testify bo fore court or jury, or questioned in the conies sioual. The latest advises regarding the trouble with the Flathead Indians in Montana say that the Indians .Lave threatened to wreck the trains and destroy the track of the Northern Pacitic railroad, which they regard as their foe because the train secured the escape of the sheriff's party. Superintendent Dickinson has telegraphed the governor and war department for troops to assist in protecting the property of the railroad company. The Indians are reported to have sent their women and children to tho hills, whith means that the trouble is not ended yet. The refusal of the chiefs to deliver up the Indian murderers is looked upon as a declaration of hostility. Fked and George Sineky, aged 20 and 12 years, respectively, have been drowned near Des Moines, Iowa. The younger one was bath Lag in the river and sank, when his brother plunged in to save him and both went down.

SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. William J.

It is reported that a conference will be held in Geneva to deal with the question of political refugees in Switzerland. This is an outcome of the Wohlgemuth affairs. Michael Davitt will be the last witness called by the Parnell commission. He will take the stand in July. Crops in the south of Russia are in a bad condition, owing to hot weather. At the inquest to determine the responsibility for the loss of life caused by the railroad accident at Armagh, Ireland, on June 12, the jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter against Engineer McGrath and Mr. Elliott, officials of the railroad. A 3ispatch from Rome to the London Standard says: "Archbishop Feehan, of Chicago, having made a long report to the Vatican through Cardinal Simeoni on the criminal acts ofthe Clan-na-Gael, the Pope has given instructions that the faculty be granted the Archbishop to take whatever measures he may deem opportune to declare the Clan-na-Gael in opposition to the church." Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, in opening the sessions of the delegations, said that Austria's foreign relations aud general foreign policy were unchanged, and that she wan in full agreement with her allies. Tho Government, he said, was doing its utmost to insure the peaceful development of the European situation, which was still unsafe. Ho hoped the blessings of peace would be maintained, notwithstanding the fact that armaments were everywhere being increased. It Mas the increase of arm anient that compelled Austria to not halt in the work of completing her means of defense. Capt. Shaw, of the steamer Delta, which has arrived at New York from Port de Pttix, states that Gen. Rippolyte had arrived at Cape Hayti with his staff and was about to return to rejoin his army just before Port au Prince. Private letters recoived at Hayti from Port au Prince stated that the city was in a very excited

condition. Legitim- efusod to leave the city or capitulate and great fears are apprehended of an insurrection in the city. The preliminary survey;; of a railroad to run from Jaffa, on th9 sea-coast in Palestine, to Jerusalem, and thence to Bethlehem, have just been completed, and a party of engineers starts from London at once for the holy land to lay out the route. A company has already been formed to build the road, in which a number of English and French bankers are interested. From all account h it is a purely business enterprise without a trace of sentimcnt or religions fervor. The travel in tho holy land of late years has been increasing steadily, audit is believed that if first-class railway accommodations were furnished the number of tourists who annually visit Jerusalem from all parts of the earth would soon be trebled. FRESH AND NEWSY. It is now definitely known that prior to the arrival of the commissioners at the Pine Kidge Agency, Dak,, a combination was formed at the agency, with Red Cloud at the head, pledged to oppose the Dakota land bill and cot even to consider it. This explains the reluctance on the part of many of the Indiana to t;ilk about it. Work having for its object the disintegration of this combination has been quietly carried on for seveial days, and it now seems that some progress is being made. It is announced positively by the London Daily Neics that Sir John A. Macdonald, the Canadian Premier, will visit England in the autumn to consull; with Lord Salisbury on important questions, especially with reference to the expediency ana advisability of reopening negotiations with the United States for a settlement of the fishery question. The weather crop bulletin, issued by the Signal Corps of the Government Agricultural Department, eays: The weather U generally favorable tot growing cropa In the South, except in Tohuen see, Mississippi, and Texas, where excessi ve rains have caused some damage to wheat an 4 cotton. In the spring-wheat region of Minnesota and Dakota all crops have been improved by recent rains. In the principal corn States, Incluring Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, the weather has been favorable and corn has made rapid growth. In Michigan and Ohio the growth of corn has been retarded, owing to continued wet weather. Tho harvesting of wheat, barley and clover is in progress as far north as the central portion of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, but the work has been retarded by frequent rains. E. G. Dun & Coa weekly review of trade says: "Theie is a hotter feeling, with larger translations in iron and wool, and crcp prospect are more favorable. But tbe agreement of railway Presidents has not prevented a renewal of strife and the demoralization cf rates in spreading widely. At Milwatikae continued wet weather retardB, and business is rather quiet at Kansas City, and outside of speculativo operations and the iron trade, it is generally dull at Philadelphia. But marked improvement is noted in Pittsburg, and in a less dsgree at Cleveland, The demand for mo ney is rather active there, but generally moderate, with collections not on the whole perceptibly better. Items have decidedly improved crop prospects in the Northwest, so that great hopefulness tinges all commercial reports from that section. The heavy shipments of gold are asarprisa to manv, and are attribu tod by some bankers to the need of the Bar k of France and the large expenditures of Americans at the Exposition. But the balance of foreign trc.de has for months been so heavily against this country that no such explanation of gold shipments is necessary. For June, thus far, merchandise x ports from New York are 16 per cent, larger than last year, with imports somewhat smaller, but even these changes would leavo a heavy excess of imports over exports to be mot by shipments of securities of gold. The bus fries sroilures number 220, as compared with &io the week previous. For the corresponding w aek of Uuat ytar the figures were 204. " THE CHOSEN FEW.

DEATH OF CAMERON. ; ORDERED BY CAMP 20.

XtAHT UOUKS OF THE VETKKAN POLITICIAN.

Pennsylvania Aged Statesman Has Gon to His Longr Home A Brief Sketch of a SuccetfHful Political Career-HIm Life and Character Reviewed. A Lancaster (Pa.) dispatch o1f June 26 says: Gen. Simon Cameron died at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening, after an illness of about a week. Ths General's condition during tha day was rather encouraging, and death came suddenly during a weak spell. Ip to tne last attack he was conscious, and had no trouble to swallow the food given, him and which he appeared to assimilate. Around the death-bed were ex-Attorney-General

GEN. SIMON CAMBROX. Mac rough and wife, Mrs. H aid man, Jams Cameron, Simon B. Cameron &nd wife, and Mrs. David Watts, a granddaughter. The funeral will bo held in Harrisburg. Simon Cameron was born less than twenty-five miles from the spot where he died, in 1799, the son of a poor country tailcr. Apprenticed to the printer's ftrade he worked in Washington in 1821 on the Congressional debates, and there became acquainted with President Monroe. He was a Democrat in politics, aud in that year of 1821 he wrote a letter favoring the election of John C. Calhoun to the Presidency, Pr'or to going to Washington he was editor of the Doyle&ton Democrat. In 1828 he was elected public printer of Pennsylvania In 182b" he became adjutant-general of his native State. In 1828 he had the contract to build a canal from Lake Ponchartrain to New Orleans, and relinquished that work at the request of Gen. Jackson to return to Pennsylvania and aid in organizing the first national convention held in the republic. At that convention, held in Baltimore, he was offered and declined the chairmanship. Selling out his interest in the canal contract he became a banker at M ddletown. He had placed James Buchanan in the Senate, and when the latter entered Polk's cabinet Mr. Cameron, in 1845, succeeded him in the Senate. Mr. Cameron was reelected to the Senate in 1856, as a Republican, and in the convention which nominated Lincoln was Pennsylvania's candidate for the Presidency. W hen the final coniiict camo Mr. Cameron's friends voted for Lincoln to defeat Seward, and Mr Lincoln, was nominated. Mr. Lincoln named Mr. Cameron for Secretary of War, and he held that office until 1852, when he retired ani accepted the St Petersburg mission. The moving cause of his retirement from the war office was his recommendation that the negroes be armed, which was' considered by Mr. Lincoln and Mr, Cameron's fellow-secretaries impolitic at the time, Mr. Cameron was granted by Mr. Lincoln the privilege of naming his successor, and upon his nomination Mr. Lincoln made Edwin M. Stanton his war secretary. Wfcen in 1864 the movement to defeat the renomination of Mr. Lincoln became pronounced the President recalled Mr. Cameron and placed his interests in his charge. The veteran politician immediately went to Harrisburg

and induced the Legislature to petition

Mr. Lincoln to accept a second term. Thin action was imitated by the legislative bodies of the other loyal States and Mr. Lincoln's renomination was assured. Mr. Cameron re-entered the Senate fin 1867 and served until 1877, when he resigned and was succeeded by hiti son Don Cameron. Mr. Cameron has never lost interest in politics, and even in his advanced old e.ge he has wielded an almost autocratic power in the politics of his own State. He was a born leader of men, aggressive in his opinions; strong in his determination; quick to apprehend and to act; a shrewd observer of his fellow-men.

STOLE HER OWN CHILD. A 12-Vear-Old Girl Forcibly Abducted from a School Koom. Chicago, June 27. A room in the Hayes public school atLeavitt and Walnut streets was the scene of a sensational c&se of kidnaping. Hettie, the 12-year-old daughter of John and Celia Thatcher, wa stolen bj he own mother The Thatchers had been divorced ten years ago and the father was given the custody of the child. Yesterday Mra Thatcher called at the school room door for the child, who would not go out to meet her. Mrs. Thatcher than daiahed into the room, seized the little girl around the waist and started for the door. The teacher made a determined resistance. Mrs. Thatcher was much larger and more powerful than the teacher and succeeded in getting the door partially open. The teacher called for the pupils to a8S;st her and they came in a body. Just at this moment a young man wearing a very heavy mustache, s;i ppoeed to be falsie, entered the room and throwing theru to one side took the struggling child from its mother's arms and rushed down the stairway, followed by the mother. The man choked the child so she could not scream. A cabman stood with the door of the vehicle open and they entered hurriedlyt Mrs. Thatcher applied a handkerchief to the little girl's faco and she lay perfectly quiet and the cabman turned ani drove rapidly away. Soon after the child had len stolen a r.oy rang the door-bell at Hettie's grandmother's homo and left a note which read: 'Hottie is in good hands. I have taken her to the country. Her Mother."

A Chicago dispatch of June 24 says: Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gaei and its methods will be thoroughly investigated by the grand jury, and it is more than probable to at ten or more of its members will be indicted for the murder of Dr. Crcnin. The State's attorney has already in his possesion enough evidence to hang at least half of that number, ani before the grand jury resun es consideration of the Cronin case Wednesday he expects to have a complete chain of evidence encirclin g tbe camp, or at least the guilty members of it Shortly after the finding of the body the State:s attorney received an anonymous letter which set forth tho details of a moating of camp 40, which was held on a Friday in the latt?r part of February. John F. Beggs, the No. 1. and senior guardian of the camp, presided at this meeting, which was attended only by what is known as the inner circle of tbe camp, and the purpose for which the meeting: was called was the trial of Dr. Cronin as & British spy. He was found guilty, the letter went on to state, aud the punishment was fixed at death. Death wns always the penalty which traitor! paid, and Cronin was to be no exception to tbe rule. The preliminaries having been disposed of, the question of who should be the executioners was taken up. Lots were drawn. The names of every man present were put on separate t-lips of paper and the lottery of murder was carried out in all its details. Who were the ones to whom the i earful deed was committed was not made known at the meeting. No one knew the names of the men who were to 1 'remove' Dr. Cronin, except the man who was to notify them that they had been .selected for the act of blood and were expected to begin at once. This man, the letter went on to state, was John F. Beggs At once every power of the police was put forth to rind the author of the letter giving information which was so valuable, ii! true. But without success. In vain the officers sought for some one who would admit that su?h a meeting had been held. All were obstinate in asserting that they never heard of such a meeting or such action by camp 20. In vain Coroner Hertz questioned every Clan-na-Gael man who was before the Coroner's jury as to the proceedings of the camp at its meetings since the 1st of January. Every one was ignorant. To-day the light broke on the darkness which overcame camp 20 Detective Palmer had a long interview with Judge Iongenecker early this morning, and about an hour later a flurried -1 oo kin g man waa admitted to the judge's office by the side door. He was a Clan-na -Gael i man, and he corroborated the contents of the letter iu every detail. Who he is could not be learned, but so satisfactory was tne information he gave the judge and so complete the proof of the planning and premeditation of the (Cronin murder in camp 20, that he said an hour later: "I've got evidence enough now to hang half a dozen. It is claimed that State's Attorney Longenecker has a list of the names of all the men who attended the secret meetingat w hich Dr. Cronin1 s removal waa ordered This man further revealed, it is said that the trial, condemnation, and execution of Dr. Cronin was entirely in accordance with the usages of the clan a practiced in other cases, notably that of the informer Carey, who was tried by the same process under which Dr. Cronin suffered death All that could be learned of the mysterious visitor to Judge JLongenecker was that he was a Clan-na-Gael man, a formermember of camp 20, who had been present at the meeting, but had takon no part

in the delit orations, which ended in the older for Cronin's assassination. He will be carefully guarded by the police to prevent anyone from tampering with him, but he will not be arrested and no sign will be made by the officers that would indicate to the conspirators that he was under the protection of the police. There is a growing belief on i;he part of the authorities that Dan Cough lin was the chosen chief executioner o? the tribunal sentence, and that, knowing his fellow camp members thoroughly, it was an easy matter to select the prisoner, Burke, and the suspect, Cooney, or "Simons," and it was no hard work for him to secure the permission of O' Sullivan to the fixing of the neat job by which Dr. Cronin was lured away to the place of assassination. Senior Guardian John F. beggs was found by a reporter in the company of Harry Jordan. Mr. Beggs declared that the latest story about camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael was a monstrous fib, and said: I only hope some Clan -n a Gael man la 'squealing, 1 as they call it, for then I witt be set right I have been getting theworst of it all along in this case. If I have made some mistakes 1 have been struggling hard to get a good footing, and just when I see the light of day this thing comes upon me. Of course I am senior guardian of camp &0, bat such things as they charge against that or any other camp of the Clan-na-Gael are absurd and impossible. If any one can tell me the object of the order I would like to learn it. For two years it has had no purpose. You just went to the meetings, paid r0 cents for monthly dues, heard some fellow sing a song, some cthek fellow make a speech, and then went home convinced that another great seep had been taken in the cause of Ireland. That's all there has been to the Clan-na-Gael.' 'How about the alleged trial of Crania before the inner circle or Camp 20?" "It's bash. There's no such thing as an Mnner circle.1 Anybody can pre for charge against any member of the order and the member will be tried before a committee of seven. The man oharge i I is always notified and is given the benefit; of counsel. There never was any trial of Cronin in camp 20. It is true that Cooney, Burke, " Coughlin, and Sullivan were members of the camp, and that three of them are behind the tars, while the other ran away from town. Two-thirds of the members of the camp were warm friends of Dr. Cronin, and I was always his friend.' '

"I always look out for No. 1" remarked a selfish fellow who had just married a red-headed widow. WeU, yoxi needn't worry yourself abfrat it any longer," she replied significantly faNo, I will look out for you hereafter.
