The wishes of the members of the graduating class of the Washington Normal school have been followed in the arrangements made for the annual closing exercises this year. For several years the closing exercises have been held in conjunction with the graduating classes of the High school. The latter have increased so largely in numbers that they have the material for the biggest kind of a commence- ment. So the Norma! school pupils concluded this year that they would have their own com- mencemeut in their own way. Mr. Powell, the superintendent of the public schools, and Miss Atkinson, the principal of the Normal school, said that the pupils could do as they pleased. They have, therefore. been pleased to have their closing exercises in their own room in the Franklin building. They are going to invite their parents and friends and some of the school officials and the District Commissioners. Next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock their room will be fragrant with flowers and further adorned by the young lady graduates in their white dresses and an appreciative audience. The ‘program will be an informal affair. ‘There will be some music and some speaking by the officers of the school board and others, and then Commissioner Douglass may make some remarks in presenting the graduates with their dipiomas. The following are the grad- uates: C. Finckel. J. Furmaze, E. Bettes, Hendley, M. Ossire. M. Wasney, S. Kuhner, Coleman, B. Camp .. A. Ulke. H. Heinrich, M. § son. M. McCormick, M. Squier, M.

The annual commencement exercises of Nor- ‘wood institute took place at Masonic hall last in the Conemaugh Valley. THE NEW CONTRACTOR SURPRISED AT THE SLOW PROGRESS MADE—THE OLD FIRM WILL NOT LET HIM HAVE ANY MEN AND A DELAY MAY RESULT—SATISFACTORY HEALTH REPORT. About six thousand laborers, who have been employed under the direction of Booth and Flynn, the Pittsburg contractors, in removing the debris and clearing up the Conemaugh valley, took their departure from Johnstown last night, and to-day the work begins under state control, with Adjutant-General Hastings in immediate charge. Gov. Beaver yesterday sent John B. Mc- Donald, of the firm of Ryan & McDonald, rail- road contractors, of Philadelphia, to Johns- town to look at the work. He was accompanied by Mr. McClain, who has been associated with him in business for many years, They hur- riedly ran over the ground, looking at the ruins in the town and adjoining boroughs and spending some time examining the fatal drift at the bridge. Mr. McDonald had a long inter- view with Gen. Hastings, and while this was in progress Mr. McClain GAVE HIS VIEWS ON THE SITUATION. “I am surprised,” said he, “to learn that so many men have been at work here so many days and have made such a small impression. Only asmall part of the town has been cleaned, and the drift at the bridge looks as if it had hardly been touchad. It will be a hard thing to get men here quickly. If we undertook the work it could not be done in a day or two days. We ought to get five thousand men here inside of a week. I think a mistake has been made in cutting down the wages to $1.50 a day. I do not think we can get the kind of men we want for that price. We could get Italians and Hungarians, but they won't answer. On that drift. for instance, we will need tramed workmen, bridge builders and lumbermen. They can’t be got for any such fig- ure. and they ought to be paid an extra quar- ter of a dollar a day for working in that stench. First of alla channel should be cut right up through the raft. That will take at least a week. It Lwere to undertake it and had my way I would put about 509 barrels of petroleum in there and fire the whole thing. It will take two or three months to do all the work needed to night before a large and appreciative andience. Rev. A. J. Huntington offered an invoca- tion. after which Mrs. Cabell presented the smailer children with their prizes, while Prof. Cabell delivered the diplomas to the following graduates: Miss Alice Condit Smith. Miss Abby Pearce Scott, Miss Lottie Plain, Miss Estelle Tucke iss Florence Croghan, and Miss Ad- die Kleinschmidt. Addresses were made by Mr. Geo. Baber, of Kentucky, and Hon. Ran- dolph Tucker. ‘After the exeroises the floor was cleared and dancing indulged in until a late hour. —— International Typographical Union. The 37th annual convention of the In- ternational Typographical union is in session in Denver, with about 200 delegates ptesent. Mayor Londoner delivered an address of welcome, which was responded to by President Plank, of Indianapolis. The business of the session was confined to receiving reports of the president. secretary-treesurer, and the committee on Ia when @ rec-ss was taken until this morning. The principal subject which seems most to agitate the minds of delegates present is “What disposition sk Jl be made of the Childs-Drexel fand. which ne + am u>ts to $22,0007° Some were in favor of the establishment of an insur- ance department. others the creation of a wid- ow’s fund. while an apparent majority were in favor of esiabiishing » home for aged printers. The subject will have considerable discussion at this mec ~s00 Presented with Cardinals’ Hats. Cardinals’ hats were presented to the arch- bishops of Paris, Lyons and Bordeaux yester- day by President Carnot, The archbishop of Paris, speaking also for the other two prelates, seid “thi hearts were full of sentiments of concord and patriotism. They were thankful to the pope, who exalted them, and to the gov- ernment which had commended them to the pope's benevolence.” M. € t. in reply, re- ierred to the zeal the new cardinals had shown in maintaining peace between the civil and spiritual powers. He eulogized the archbishop of Paris especially for his recent eloquent ap- peal to all men to unite to secure the pros- perity of France. eae The Maryland Club’s Purchase. One of Robert G-rrett’s hobbies just before he beeame violently insane was the establish- ment ofa mammoth hotel at the corner of Charles and Eager streets, in the fashionable | section of Baltimore. He had a building there Pulled down for the purpose. The Garretts now have disposed of the land for 240,000 to the Maryland club, the swell organization of Baltimore. and they will at once erect a build- ing to cost not less than $150,000. ing toe le an ¢ Local Option in North Carolina. Local option elections were held Monday at many party in North Carolina. Interest centered in the elections at Raleigh and Dur- ham. At both places the probibitionists were defeated. at Raleigh by majority and at Durham by 7: Goldsboro’ gave the anti-pro- hibition et 179 majority. The prohibition- ists have received quite a reverse in thoi : 3. Compressed Air as Motive Power. From the Engineering and Mining Journal. Every one who has visited Paris in recent Years must have noticed at the corner of the streets, in the rooms of the principal hotels and public buildings, the pneumatic clocks. In the apartments in which they are placed you do not hear the usual ticking of a clock. but a sound p and clear, which is repeated each minute. The mechaniem is extremely simple. the im- portant part being a small cylinder, furnished | with a piston, joined to a small flexible metalic tube and to a system of pipes connecting with those in the street. Each minute a wave pres- sure cireulates through the whole system of Pipes. marking a progressive movement on the face of all the ks. The number of these clocks on the 3st of October last amounted to 7.300. ir installation has been largely fa- cilitated by the existence of the sewers in which the pipes placed. According to English ideas, these sewers should be rather called sub- ways, as they are spacious, high and furnished with sidewalks, so that a man can walk in them with case. ‘The compressed air is supplied as power to thirteen sewing machine shops, four ice-making establishments. thirty nine turners, each taking about two horse-po er. sixteen printing houses equiring forty-three horse power, thirty-five Wood-working factories taking seventy hor wer, and to eighty-six various industries, ‘aris offers a specially good field for this sys- tem as the police regulations do not allow boilers above the basement floor, and there are many industries requiring small power Which could not economically employ separate steam engines and boilers.

In R. Relief Association In Baltimore, Md., Isane $. Couley yester- day filed in Circuit Court No. 2a bill asking that a receiver be appointed for the B. & 0. Railroad Kelief association. Mr. Couley was a member of the assoclation for several years, im 1888 he declined to join the new B. and 0.

Mr. McDonald and Mr. MeClain hurried away from headquarters when the interview wit! Gen, Hastings was ended. Gen, Hastings says he does not expect to begin active work at once, but as soon as he can get the men he will begin at three points. ‘The first will be at the bridge, the second will be along the river in Kernville, and the third will be in cleaning up the center of the town. The trouble that had been brewing came late last night when Wm. Flynn, of the firm of Booth & Flynn, who secured nearly 4,000 men to work in the ruins around town, had a long consultation with Gen. Hastings. who told him that Ryan & McDonald had been given the con- tract. Mr. MeDonala was introduced to Mr. Fiynn and asked him to get him 2,000 men and to work the contract with him. Mr. Flynn | indignantly refused to do so, and unless the | governor helps and makes some concessions it is believed that every one of the Booth & | Flynn men will march out of Johnstown in the morning. That will leave Gen. Hastings and | THE NEW SANITARY COMMISSION, Much interest is manifested among the re- | lief people here over the probable composition of the commission that Gov. Beaver will name to take charge of the relief and sanitary work. Gen. Hastings is to remain at the head of the work as the e e officer and as the gov- itis his wish, and the wish of every here, that Mr. Scott be made | a member of the commission. Thos. B. Coc! ran, of the Guarantee Trust company of Phila- delphia, is_spoken of as a member of the com- tiission. Ex-Gov. Pattison and Col. Jennings. of Harrisburg, are also mentioned. The Red Cross continues to do t work, The free baths that Gen. Hastings requested Miss Bar- ton to open will be ready in aday or two. Twenty h-tubs for that purpose reached Joknstown from Philadelphia last night. A blessing toJohnstown is the general health . Dr. G. Groff, of the state board of health, says it is phenomenal. The doctors are still so thick at they would find time hanging heavy on their hands if they devoted theniselves to work within the line of their pro- | fession, but they are finding and doing well plenty of work aside from drugs and. plas- ters. THE DOCTOR'S UNSELFISH WoRK. The physicians are working without hope of compensation, and are defraying their own personal expenses. They endure the same hardships that everyone here has to put up with, and many of them announce their inten- tion to neglect their practice at home so long as they are needed here. Miss Hinckley, representing the Children’s Aid society, yesterday received a letter from Dr. W. H. Bennett. of Philadelphia. which contained an offer from the Seayde Hom Atlanti y to take charge, for a month, of twenty mothers and fifty children. Their offer is a most welcome one, as miany delicate women | and children here are greatly in need of a! change of scene. and itis likely that this oppor- | tunity will be taken advantage of at once. A mother and her six little ones will probably be | sent to Atlantic City to-day, ENCOURAGING HEALTE REPORT. What debris was loosened and not moved was burned, and the burning will continue uightly until the whole mass has disappeared. The pulling machines are beginning to demon- strate their value, and with another supply of workmen the clearing up will progress rapidly, The board of health issued yesterday the most encouraging report it has thus far promul- gated. Acareful exemination has been made of the water supply, and experts pronounce that drawn from the mountain reservoir and springs as being absolutely free from pollu- tion, The river water and that contained in wells, are, of course, tainted, but it is not allowed to be used. The health of the people is said to be excellent considering the exposure and scanty food supply they are obliged to en- dure. A few cases of diphtheria have been re- ported, not more than half a dozen, and all the hysicians here are surprised at the small num- ver of patients they have. They are kept busy tramping around and examining every nook and corner where contagion is likely to arise, but the actual patients are now few and many of them are suffering simply from nervous prostration. One woman has been pronounced insane, but it is known that she has been so at times be- fore, and that her case is not entirely due to the shock occasioned by the disaster. Gov. Beaver on Sunday assured the health officials the state would defray all expenses neces- to enforce all proper sanitary measures, Doard has audited no bills as yet, and can form no idea how much money has been ex- pended. Much disinfecting material has been expended. Much disinfecting material has been contributed, but the greater portion of it has been purchased, and the billie will aggre- gate quite a large figure. The Pennsylvania Open to Williamsport. The bridge over the west branch of the Sus- quehanna at Williamsport, carried away by the freshet of ten days ago, was replaced with a temporary structure, which was finished last night, aud the Pennsylvania railroad company announces that it is now able to carry passen- gers and freight direct to the station in Will- iamsport. Heretofore travelers to that place have been ferried across the river. — cor Charged With Firing the Clarke House. George Coffee, colored, was brought to Nor- folk last night from Princess Anne county and lodged in jail to prevent an infuriated mob of farmers from lynching him. He was arrested Johnstown worse off than had been anticipated. | ¢ ith having set fire to the residence of Kev. F. W. Clarke, in that county, three weeks ago, whereby Mr. | Clarke. his niece, and three children’ were the general incorporation iaw.on which account, be claims. he was discharged from theeompany's service. The bill asserts that the assets of the felief association exceed $500,000, and that its funds have been misappropriated. ~ o Killed by His Adopted Son. State Senator Samuel E. Fields, of Georgia, aged sixty, living near Dalton, threat- burned to death. ein Political Notes. Gen. R. A. Alger emphatically denies the published statement that he had openly an- nounced his intention of becoming a candidate before the next national republican convention for the Presidential nomination. Hon. John 8. Barbour, chairman of the Vir- adopted son, Den- ened to whip his rs democratic state executive committee, issued a call for a meeting of the commit- tee in Richmond, June 19, to fix the date of the state convention and for general conference, Mr. Joseph H. Diekerson, a democrat, by the vote of three members of his own and port of the re; Conspiracy—Alex. Sullivan Arresteds In the Cronin inquest yesterday, after the re- port of Tae Stan had closed, Chief of Police Hubbard was called and submitted to the jury the private papers of Dr. Cronin, which had been turned over to him by Mr. and Mrs. Conk- lin. He also told the jury of an interview which he had had with Woodruff, the horse thief, who related his connection with the crime. The jury retired at 4:40, and were in deliber- ation over five hours, during which time the coroner, district attorney, and others connected with the prosecution seemed to be very uneasy. Finally, at 10:15 o'clock, the jury came into court and read THE FOLLOWING VERDICT: We, the undersigned, a jury appointed to make inquiry according to law as to how the body viewed came to his death, state as our verdict from the evidenci First. That the body is that of Patrick H. Cronin, known as Doctor Cronin. Second. That his death was not from natural causes, but from violent means. Third, That the said Patrick H. Cronin was decoyed from his home on North Clark street. on the evening of May 4, 1889, by some person or persons to the cottage known as the Carlson cottage, situated at No. 1872 North Ashland avenue. i Fourth, That at said cottage the said Cronin was murdered by being beaten on his head with some blunt instrument in the hands of some person or persons to us unknown. Fifth. That the body, after said murder was committed, was placed ina trunk and carried to Edgewater on a wagon by several persons, and by them placed in a eatch-basin at the corner of Evanston avenue and 59th street, Lakeview, where it was discovered May 22. Sixth. That the evidence shows conclusively to our minds that a plot of conspiracy was formed by a number of persons for the purpose of murdering the said Cronin, and concealing his body; said plot of conspiracy was deliber- ately pond tacasoe cir cruelly executed. Seventh. We have careful inquired into the relations by said Cronin to other persons while alive to ascertain if he had any cause of enmity with any person sufficient to cause his murder. Eighth. It is our judgment that no other per- son or persons, except some of those who are or had been members of a certain secret society known as ‘United Brotherhood” or **Clan-na- Gael,” had any cause to be the instigators or executors of such plot or conspiracy to murder said Cronin. inth, Many of the witnesses testifying in the case have done so with much evident un- willingness, and, as we believe, with much mental reservation. We find from the evidence that a number of persons were parties to this plot and conspiracy to murder the said Cronin, and that Daniel Coughlin, Patrick O-Sullivan, Alexander Sullivan, and one Woodruff, alias Black. were either principal, accessories, or had guilty knowledge of said plot and con- spiracy to murder said Cronin and conceal his body, and they should be held to answer to the grand jury. We also believe that other engaged in this of it, and should the grand jury. We turther state that this plot or conspi- racy in its conception and execution, is one of the most foul and brutal that has ever come to ersons were plot or had guilty knowledge e apprehended and held to | our knowledge, and recommend that the proper anthorities offer a large reward for the discov- and conviction of all of those engaged in it ny wa ‘Twelfth. We further state that in our judg- ments all secret societies whose objects are such as the evidence shows that of the Clan- gael or the United Brotherhood to be, are not in harmony with and are injurious to American institutions, Thirteenth. We hope that future vigor and vigilance by the police force will more than compensate for past neglect on the part of the force in this case. The verdict had been signed by the six juror and Coroner Hertz, ALEXANDER SULLIVAN ARRESTED. Immediately upon the verdict being ren- dered, Deputy Sheriffs Palmer, Broderick and Williams drove in carriage to the residence of Alexander Sullivan, Oak street, in the North Division. He was in bed and sound asleep when the deputies arrived. He responded with alacrity to, the summons, and in a few minutes was up and dressed. He said nothing when the warrant was read, but, with a eelf- possessed smile, accompanied the officers to | the carriage. The party was rapidly driven to the county jail, where, after the usual formali- ties had been gone through, Sullivan was placed inacell on the ground floor, near where the anarchists were incarcerated, It was reported in police circles last night that no less than thirty warrants are being made out for suspected accessories, all of which will be served without delay. The list is said to inelude John F. Beggs, Officer Dan Brown, Harry Jordan, Michacl Boland, Lawrence R. N. Buckley, Peter McGeehan, D. C. Feeley, Frank rly J.J. Bradley, J.J. Cunea and John Moss. It was also reported that a warrant will be issued for the arrest of Henry LeCaron, the Engiish spy, and his extradition demanded. The majority of these named are prominent officers of the Clan-na-Gael. ‘The grand jury will meet to-day. The case will be presented to these jurors at once, and it is expected that indictments will be returned uot only against the four men now under ar- rest, but against all the suspects whom the cor- oner’s jury for some unknown reason failed to specifically mention in their verdict, soo A WARNING TO FRANCE. A Deputy Gives it in the Chamber of Deputies and a Row Ensues. M. Gellibert des Seguins interpellated the government in the French chamber of depu- ties yesterday in relation to the suppression of the Boulangist meeting at Angouleme on Sun- day. He said the violence used by the agents of the government had aroused a strong feel- ing in the country, and he protested against | further official interference with the rights of the people. He said things had come to such @ pass now that the instant “Vive La Republic” or “Vive Boulanger” was cried the officials be- gan to make arrests. The people were indig- nant at such arbitrary action. He warned the government that it was in vain to attempt to terrorize the masses. They would persist in exercising their liberty notwithstanding the efforts of the government to deprive them of it. [Applause from the right.] M. Constans, minister of the interior, replied to M. Gellibert des Seguins. He stuted that the government had ordered a display of mili- tary force at Angouleme because the people in receiving certain political leaders had ob- structed the highways. [Interruptions from the right.] Demonstrations like that of Sun- day were generally the work of paid agitators. At Angouleme agitators had even been sum- moned from adjoining departments: [Here there were protests on the part of the Bou- langist members, and M. Laur was called to or- der.] M. Constans, continuing, said that M. Delourede, one of the persons charged with rioting, had seized » commissary of Police by the collar and had injured his foot. ‘The com- missary had only performed his duty in arrest- ing him and those who assisted him. The min- ister then declared that the government would send more policemen to Angouleme if such a meeting was again attempted. M. Laur shoute ust try, and 1 will blow the brains out of the first one who approaches me!” The president again called uur to order, and also M. Cuneo d’Ornano, who had joined M. Laur in resenting the minister's lan- guage. M. Constans, resuming his ch, said the government had to deal with a flagrant offense, and not merely with isolated cases, Similar scenes to those at Angouleme had been enacted on thésame day at Lyons and Correze, and by the same political party. Here another uproar occurred on the right, and the Marquis de Breteuil had to be called to order. ger, and the government in the fature would deal severely with those who were responsible et Consta ted with prolonged ns was gree re cheers from the left as he resumed” his seat, Commissions have been issued by Governor Wilson, of West Virginia, to Gen.

In all that relates to the compos tion of 8 first-class journal, devoted to news, buste ness, family and local affuirs, it takes rank with the very best in the world, and in the special qual ities named it is not surpassed by any. With alert, intelligent and i:apartial special correspond ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole field of news, and is able to presenta reflex of the entire civilized world each day up t the very moment of going to press. In these re spects THE Stak is absolutely without @ rival, and fearlessly challenges comparison, within range of the territory it occupies. In its treatment of public affairs it is impartial and aims to be fair and just to all taithsand inter ests, and it is absoluely independent, in the high- est and broadest sense of the term. In the publi- cation of news it records facts without bias or color, and in the expression of editorial opinion it is as steady and fir™ in advocating and promoting only What it believes to be right, as it is persistent in coademning and opposing what it believes to be Wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by any other interest or consideration tha® that of serving the public, and securing as far as possible the wel- fare of the family circle, and of society as @ whole, With these general objects in view, what THR STAR specially concerns itself with, and that to Which it gives its best efforts, may be briefly de scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since its present management assumed its direction, @nd this policy will characterize the future career Of the paper as prominently as it has marked its past history. 48 AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com clusively establish that it 1s, the best local advertioe tng medium in the world! NO OTHEX PAPER PRINTED CIRCULATES SO MANY COPIES IN THE CITY OF ITS RE THE SERVICES OF AN | PUBLICATION, IN PROPORTION TO POPULATION. It is hardly tco much to say that it is read by the mem- bers of every family in the District of Columbia. It is peculiarly the favorite of the home circle, and is no less esteemed in the counting room and the ‘Work shop. It follows, therefore, that as an agent 0f publicity within the National Capital and con- tiguous territory it has no rival. An announce- ‘ment in ats columns practically meets all eyes, and, in proportion to the service it gives, its advertising Fates rank with the lowest in the country. Being low, they are rigidly adhered to. There only re- mains to be added on this head, as an indication of the esteem in which the paper is held by the business public, which best understands its own interests in this respect, that, both in the number of subscribers and of new advertisements printed, each year in the history of the paper shows a large increase over its predecessor. For example, during the first nine months of the present year the average daily circulation of the paper has been 26,681 copies, and the whole number of new advertisements printed 39,693, ‘against an average daily circulation of 25,427 copies and 38,504 new advertisements dur- ing the corresponding period in 1887. In short, THE STAR has never taken a backward step, and its conductors are determined that it never shall sake one. THE WEEKLY STAB Is especially commended to that portion of the Teading public who desire to be kept advised of affairs at the seat of government, and are so situe Sted 4s not to need or care for a daily paper. itis in every respect 6 first-class family journal. Its news is carefully collected, and may be depended upon to be fresh andauthentic. Its scientilic, lite rary, household and agricultural departinents are edited with the view of meeting the wants and tastes of an intelligent and reading public, and Of affording assistance to the student and those in pursuit of general information. Some of the most noted and learned men and women of the counuy are contributors to its columns. Its ample tele graphic arrangements and full corps of special correspondents enable it to lay before its readers every week all important happenings, foreign and domestic, and especially such political, social, and current events as are worthy of note, in the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Care lina, and those adjacent thereto. ‘The low price at which it is published, ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, ‘brings it within the resch of all.
