Statement of the Account. Up to last evening the contributions received at Tue Star office for the relief of sufferers by the late floods in Pennsylvania amounted in the aggregate to $3,830.70, and for those by the destruction of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, $265.35. Of the first-named amount the sum of $2,508.97 was remitted to the local treasurer of the general relief fund at Jolinstown, on the 7th inst., and the balance, $1,321.73, was last evening turned over to E. Kurtz Johnson, treasurer of the Washington relief committee. Atthe same time, the amount received for the relief of the canal sufferers was inclosed to Mr. Johnson, in the belief that that fund could be best distributed through his hands in con- nection with other moneys placed there for the same purpose. Such further amounts may be left at the office for either fund will be acknowledged from day to day, and similarly accounted for. Appended will be found a copy of the corre- spondence on the subject: Tne Evextxe Star, Wasutnoton, D. C., June 7, 1889, William C.

CRONIN’S MURDERERS.| Luke Dillon Thinks They Are Now in Custody. SULLIVAN NOW IN JAIL. The Case Given to the Grand Jury To-day. ———____. OVER A HUNDRED INJURED. In a Frightful Railroad Accident in Ireland, THE OONDITION AT JOHNSTOWN. SULLIVAN IN JAIL. The Noted Land-Leaguer Spends the Night in a Cell. HE APPARENTLY TAKES HIS ARREST PHILOSOPH- ICALLY AND WILL NOT TALK ABOUT IT aT ALL—THE GRAND JURY, AFTER INSTRUCTIONS, COMMENCES ITS WORK UPON THE CRONIN CASE. Catcaco, Sune 12.—Sheriff Watson said last evening in reference to the special grand jury that is to be impaneled to-day: “It will consist of first-class business men in whose judgment and discretion the public will have implicit confidence.” “Will there be any Irishmen on the list?” “No. ButIdo not mean this asa reflection on Irishman, but to avoid all cause for com- plaint on the part of any faction that may exist.” Assistant States Attorney Neeley said that the grand jury had becn Summoned in order that there might be no delay between the end- ing of the coroner's inquest and the commence- ment of the grand jury proceedings in the ase. THE RIGHT MEN CAPTURED. Luke Dillon said last night, referring to the verdict of the coroner's jury: “This is a splen- did day’s work. I amas confident as I am alive that with Sullivan and Maroney in the net now we have the right men. This crime will be fully exposed, The plot will be unraveled and the guilty brought to punishment.” States Attorney Longnecker said last night, referring to the special grand jury: “It will be impaneled at 10 o'clock, and we will proceed immediately to place additional evidence against the men under arrest before the jury; also some of the evidence already published. It may be that some of the men under arrest will apply for_a writ of habeas corpus in order to get out, but I don’t think any court will in- terfere pending the grand jury investigation, We have much evidence not yet published, and Iam confident that some of our Clan-na-Gael witnesses will be more disposed to tell all they know before a grand jury than they have been before the coroner's jury aud two score of re~ porters.” IMPORTANCE OF THE NEW YORK ARRESTS. The Herald this morning says that Luke Dillon is so positive that the men arrested in New York yesterday, Maroney and McDonald, were engaged in the butchery of Dr. Cronin that he advised John Cronin; the dead man’s brother, to swear ont warrants against them on the charge of murder. It is known positively that Maroney was in Chicago on May 3. for man who knows him met him on the street, He was also in the city on April 17, when he registered at McCoy's house as W. G. Melviile. Luke Dilion has cut the signature out of the register to compare it with the hand- writing of Frank Williams, who rented the Carlson cottage, but owing to a press of other business yesterday he could not find time to get the letter from Chief Hubbard. Luke Dillon says thet A SENSATIONAL CHAPTER RELATIVE TO MARONEY could be written, but he declines to say more than that he belie the fellow is one of the murderers, Maroney is still practically in the employ of the old triangle. Of McDonald very little is known, except that he is one of Maroncy’s dupes and chief lieuten- ant, Ashe was abseat from New York while Maroney was, it is supposed that he, too,was in Chicago, Late last night it was ascertained that Maroney is supposed to be the man “Simmons” who rented the top floor at 112 Clark street, The police are in possession of strong circum- stantial evidence connecting Maroney with this, the first step of the conspiracy, THE GERMANS ON SULLIVAN. The Germans of the city have made a very decided stand in the Cronin case. The Staats Zilung, taking up the thread of Alexander Sullivan's life, has this to say of an incident in his career: After the return of Alexander Sulli- van to Chicago from New Mexico, where he had filled the office of territorial secretary about ten years ago, un incident occurred which is described in detail in the Staats Zeitung of this city. Soon after his return, that paper says, the United States government made an investiga- tion, It was found that between $8,000 and $10,000 had been left unaccounted for by Sulli- van on leaving his office. As a result of this discovery an official order was issued from Washington to cause the arrest of Alexander Sullivan on the charge of embezzlement uniess the deficit were speedily made good. Sullivan succeeded in preventing his arrest for the time being, having prevailed upon two friends to give provisional bail for him. About this time it was, too, that Sullivan suc- ceeded in inducing Patrick Egan, the treasurer of the Irish national league, to furnish him with $100,000 for the alleged ee of agitation in America. Right on top of this he managed to straighten up his account with the Federal (Shee paying the entire sum he had en found to be short. This, says the paper, occasions the rept face ober that he used a part at least of the un fund for the purpose of making up the deficit, A HABEAS CORPUS FOR SULLIVAN. Acommittee of Alex. Sullivan's friends met after the arrest and requested James O’Connel to retain ex-State Senator J. W. Duncan as Sul- livan’s attorney, Mr. Duncan and his partner, ex-Judge Gilbert, went immediately to the jail and had a consultation with the prisoner. They announced that they would apply’ fora habeas corpus before Judge Tulley this morn- ing, and expressed their confidence that he would be released forthwith. SULLIVAN'S NIGHT IN JATL. Alexander Sullivan spent his first night in jail in cell 27, which is on the first tier and directly opposite the entrance through the “cage” in which visitors and prisoners are al- lowed to He a well during the night, the ane 5 said, and if he felt the unpleasant- neés of his position by wortls or situation or the facts leading up to gree, fis would no information, Mr. fait the Sierace stacing te his Sala ek eee boon no more sareots tu the Oreaie ome special grand” fry to deal withthe Cronin A that Shepard ssid he en se der of Dr. Cronin. The entire resources of the country, he said, would be at the disposal of the jury, and witnesses who would not testify should be made to do so. The grand jury bad in its possession the power to make them do so. There are only two Irishmen on the panel— W. J. Quan and John O° is the well-known whole j Mr. O'Neill is the ex-county commissioner. After being charged by Judge Shepard as to their duties on the special occasion for which they were called, they repaired at once to the grand jury room and en- tered on the consideration of the case. THE CHAIN AGAINST MARONEY. Avery strong chain of circumstantial evi- dence has been wourid about John J. Maroney, one of the men now under arrest in New York on suspicion of being connected with the murder of Cronin, The story as given by the authorities is as fol’ lows: Photographs were procured of Maroney and McDonal: ae other man arrested at the same time in New York. These were mixed with a number of others, and shown first to Salesman Hatfield, of Revell & Co.. who sold | the furniture subsequently found in the Carlson cottage in Lake View, in which Dr. Cronin was murdered. Mr. Hatfield, without hesita- tion, picked out Maroney’s portrait as that of the man to whom he sold the furniture. ‘The pictures were then mixed up end shown to Mr. Throckmorton, the real estate agent who rented the rooms on Clark street, opposite Dr. Cronin’s office, to which the furniture was first carted from Revell’s. Mr. Throckmorton picked out the picture of Maroney as the man to whom he rented the rooms. Once more the pictures were shuffled and this time they were shown to Expressman Martenson, who carted the furni- ture from the Clark-street rooms to the Carlson cottage in Eake View where Dr. Cronin was murdered. The result was the same. Muroney’s picture was again selected, this time as the man me had hired the furniture moved. Neither o! done by the other, In each of these ceses the man gave his name as J. B. Simmons. It now remains to be seen whether or not the Carisons will recognize him as one of the alleged broth- ers named Williams who rented the cottage. MARONEY AND McDONALD. The Former Asserts He is Entirely In- nocent of the Crime. New Yous, June 12.—John J. Maroney and Charles McDonald, the two Clan-na-Gael men who were arrested here yesterday by Inspector Byrnes at the request of the Chicago authori- ties, will be again taken to the Tombs police court at 3 o'clock this afternoon for the pur- pose mercly of being further remanded uutil the arrival of the Chicago officers with the necessary papers in the case. Mr. Roe, a well-known nationalist of this city, called at the central office last night and was ere to hold a short conversation with McDonald. ‘This morning a well-dressed man, who refused to give his name, called upon the inspector to inqnire after the prisoners, Mar- oney, it appears, has expressed his willingness to go to Chicago and face the charge of murder which he believes bas been preferred against him, asserting in the most positive language that he is ENTIRELY INNOCENT OF THE CRIME. Maroney uses every endeavor to create the im- pression that he knows more about the murder of Dr, Cronin than he is willing to tell here. The inspector. however, does not appear to place much confidence in what this man says. As on yesterday, the representatives of the daily press are positively retused an interview with the prisoners. Inspector Byrnes holds that in- asmuch as the prisoners are merely in his eus- tody awaiting the arrival of the Chi- cago officers, he has no bgctn to grant any such privilege: even if he had. the in- spector says it would would be a bad breach of courtesy, to say the least, to permit newspaper men to talk with the accused before the officers who are on their way from Chicago have had an opportunity of speaking with the men, The mysterious man who was taken to police head- quarters last night, and who was supposed to be in some way connected with Maroney and McDonald, turns out to be a man who was ar- rested on the supposition that he had com- mitted a robbery. What Mr. Feeley Says. Rocuester, N. Y., June 12.—A reporter of the Morning Herald, upon learning of the arrest of Alexander Sullivan this morning, called upon Mr. D.C. Feeley at his home. Mr. Feeley, when informed of the news, said: “Iam not surprised to hear of the arrest of Sullivan. As for myself, Ido not believe that there has been or will be any warrant issued for my arrest. If there is I am ready for it, Further than this I cannot be interviewed, as I have no information in regard to this case tee than that possessed by the general pub- lic.” Working the Case in Michigan.

Schaack said he was going to visit fricnds on Lake Lin- den, but it is believed he is working on the Cronin case. one THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE. Its Meeting in New York to Select a Chairman. New York, June 12.—The corridors of the Fifth-avenue hotel were alive with democratic politicians this morning, eager either for par- ticipation in the meeting of the national demo- cratic committee or for prognostication as to its results. The members of the committee who have been in town several days were rein- forced last night by others, while the morning trains brought the number almost up to the total membership.

GEN, HASTINGS WILL BE READY TO COMMENCE IN EARNEST TO-MORROW WITH A BIG BODT OF MEN —THE PEOPLE ALL FAGGED OUT AND BEGIN- XING TO REALIZE THE TRUE SITUATION. Jonxstows, Pa., June 12.—The borongh of Johnstown and the surrounding towns are now under military rule. At 7 o'clock this morning : the commissary stations and morgyes. A slight rain has been falling all the Sacer sa and the city presents » most dismal appearance. Everything is tur moil and confusion, and little or no work is being done, For the first time since the work has commenced the men seemed fagged ont andare notin a hurry te get to work. How ever, all the men at the morgues and the re- lief committees are still hard at work. The sufferers were at the commissary stations as early as usual this morning, and stood around in the rain for several hours before they were served. They have the same distressed look that they have had ever siuce the flood, and es days roll on they do not seem to liven up any. In fact, the people here—that is, the resi- dents—are just commencing to realize fully the terrible ordeal they have gone through The excitement has kept them up until now, but since the excitement has been dying out they are NOW CONSCIOUS OF THE SITTATION, and if a number of suicides do not follow i will be something remarkable. For the first time since the calayaity the people are com- | mencing to talk of their nancial losses, and this seems to worry them as much as anything else, and to say that a vast number of the former merchants are disheartened is putting it mildly. On all sides you will hear these merchants exclaim: “It is no use; we will never recover from this, we have lost everything.” The Pittsburg wholesale merchants who are here are trying to comfort them and are offer- ing all the old merchants some very elegant in- ducements to start up again. A circular bes been received by these men from sevemal Pitts burg merchants offering them all the credit they want, All the laborers employed by Booth & Flynn and all the volunteer and other work- men Were paid off at the club house this morn- ing by the finance committee. Over four thousand men surrounded the place, and it was with consflerable difficulty that they were paid. A number of them forgot their numbers and it caused no end of trouble. The pay-roll altogether amounted to about $90,000, Gen, Hastings states that the work of clear- ing away the debris under the direction of the state ce im earnest to-morrow McKnight, of Pittsburg, has as one of the contractors, and he will have 2.000 men at work to-morrow morn- ing. An Altoona contractor and two other con- tractors from the eastern end of the state have also been selected to do work for the state, The coutractor sent here from Maryland by Gov. Beaver has been left out im the cold. He was to have 3,000 men at work, but wher be came here he did not have a hundred men, and wanted to go into a combination with Jas, McKnight, but the latterrefused and the = land gentleman went home a sadder but ably a wiser man. GOING TO WORK IN EARNEST. General Hastings, in an interview this morna- ing, said: “I have now taken charge of this work, and it will be work in earnest and noton paper. The time for red- fbolishuess is passed, and I intend to pusk this work to a fin- ish, no matter who it pleases or displeases. I have been placed in such a position that I can proceed expeditiously and I propose to do 1 You can hear lots of criticism, but we will not listen to anything of that kind. I am about tired of all this *tomfoolery,’ and what we want here is business men to work on business prin- | ciples. Ihave detailed soldiers every place I | possibly could, and intend to get all the work jout of them that is possible. The state has to pay for the work, and if itis in my power L intend to see that it is done as it should be. To-day we will @o little or nothing. This is of course on account of the changing of the rule and the wet weather. By to-morrow we will be at work in earnest and at least 3,000 men will be employed. One thousand workmen leave New York ‘this after- noon and at least 500 will be sent from Pitts- burg. Ihave given the employment of these men into the hands of four contractors will hold them responsible, I have no will com: J how long it take to clean up the place, but 1am afraid there will be very litte of the governor's million after the work is done.” il you clean out the cellarsof the build- was asked. Well, that is a question I cannot answer at present. If there is money enough left, we will, but we want to first get the town cleaned up.” A FREEZE-OUT SCHEME STOPPED. Hon. Wm. Fline, of Pittsburg, arrived here last night just in time to stop a scheme which was on foot to freeze out all the Pennsylvania contractors, Governor Beaver wanted one mam to take charge of all the work and sent him to look into the matter. In the meantime Mr, Flinn was in Pittsburg arranging for about 1,500 men, and had them engaged when he re- ceived a telegram from Gen, Hastings telling hix not to hire any more men and to come te Jchnstown immediately, He accordingly ar- rived late last night and hada consultation with Gen. Hastings. The general informed the Pittsburg contractor that Gov. Beaver bade man to take rge of the work. Flinn a if the contractor had any men here with him and was informed that he had not, “Well,” said Flinn, “iet him go on with bis work. Iwill hove nothing to do with the mat- ter. I thought I was to be consulted in this matter and have already hired 1,500 men, but I will give them orders to remain where they are and let this mar: go ahead. I don’t want y contract myself and only have an interest so far as tar play is © There are four contractors here who volunteered their services, aud if I have any say st all 1 want them employed.” Goy. Beaver’s man was ealled in and he stated that it would be impossible for him to get men unless he got the men that the other contractors had, but he would be willing to the contractors for their time. This roiled General Hastings and Mr, Flinn, and the result was that Beaver's man was left out in the cold and this morning Mr. Flinn’s smile assumed gigantic proportions, Damage from Overflow in Illinois. Decarvn, Iut., June 12.—The sudden high water in the Sangamon river has done great damage to bottom lands crops andhas brokea through four levees built at a cost of $4,000, The levees had redeemed nearly 1,000 acres of land but — were not built hig The bottoms are overflowed for miles, but river now lacks a foot of reaching its point, Itrose 13 inches in twelve hours yer terday, ——_ OVER ONE HUNDRED KILLED.
