Caicaco, June 27.—The Illinois Central strike has been settled and traffic on that road will be generally resumed this afternoon. | Superintendent Sullivan made the strikers |= verbal offer this morning which | he refused to put in writing until the men had | accepted it, The concession amounted to a |shortening of Supt. Rusecll’s powers |in certain directions, © Among other | things the superintendant agreed that Russell | will not have the power to hire or discharge } | { j [other employes than those directly un- der him. Mr. Russell will still be superintendent of the Chicago | division of the road and have the power to | appoint the heads of departments under him, and the clerks in his office but no others, The power to oversee, hire and discharge brakemen, engineers, switchmen, | eonductors and firemen will rest with the | heads of departments and not with Russell. | The strikers to the number of over 400 consid- ered Mr, Sullivan's proposition for five hours, and finally at 2 o'clock decided to accept it. It is expected that ail trains will be running in a few hours and that the company can take care of its immense suburban busi- ness this evening. ie NOY THROUGH YET. The Situation at Dunbar is Still One of Suspense. Donwar, Pa., June 27.—The rescuers had not succeeded in cutting their way into the Hill Farm mine at noon, but they are expecting to ak through at any moment.

The Johnstown Disaster to be Passed Upon by the Engineers’ Committee. Prrrsavna, June 27.—There are prospects of some lively times during the convention of civil engineers, now in session at Cresson Springs, over the action of the committee ap- pointed almost a year ago to investigate in re- gard to the condition of the South Fork dam before the Johnstown flood. The committee investigated the matter thoroughly and sealed its report, but did not hand the latter in at the last meeting of the society held in January. ‘The reason given by the committee was that they did not desire to become involved in liti- gation over the flood pending then. At the | present meeting the committee has given it out generally that no report will be made unless it 1s forced by the society. The sealed report is said to contain some highly interesting data concerning the condition of the South Fork dam prior to the flood. It is stated on good au- thority that the report states that the dam was structurally as perfect as 1t could be made, evidenced by the circumstance that at the time of the flood a foot of water poured over the dam for two hours, and that when at last the dam broke it did so from the top. It is said that the report will further state that a larger waste wier might have prevented the flood. 3m 107thst ne A Rewarxasie Sravewenr. DR.

Brooks was hanged at 3:50 this morning for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Coombs, The execution was the first in Pine county and the second under the John Day Smith law, which provides that the execution must take place between midnight and sunrise without the presence of reporters. The condemned man was unattended by clergy, ashe had steadfastly refused all spiritual solace. The crime for which Brooks paid the penalty was the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Coombs at Pine City, Minn., last November. His wife had been unduly intimate with Coombs and Brooks announced his intention of leaving the country. Being indebted to Coombs he went to the house, taking bis gun along, for the pur- pose of effecting asettlement, A quarrel arose, in the course of which the killing occurred. He maintained the killing of Mrs. Coombs was an accident. ‘A peculiar incident connected with the case is the fact that one of the jurymen a few days hopeless and beyondall medical skiii to relieve or cure, and death was the only relief for ms.

CieveLayp, June 27.—FEstella LeRoy, a Cleveland girl, whose real name is Hull, at- tempted to make her first balloon ascension and parachute jump at Beyerles Park last evening. She failed, however, and narrowly es- caped injury, and, perhaps, death. The balloon was inflated with hot air and an employe named Ed French was sent inside to keep it from igniting from sparks from the fire. He forgotton and when the balloon was sufti- tly inflated it was cut loose and shot w the i air. French was not prepare for ascension and he began to scramble out. One of his feet caught in the ropes and he hung head downward. After a vigorous struggle he succeeded in extricating himself from the balloon when it was about 50 feet from the earth, and after turning two somersaults in the air he alighted on the ground on his face and was severely injured. The struggles of French loosened the parachute from the balloon, and when at the height of 100 feet it suddenly broke loose. The parachute did not open until it had traversed a consid- erable distance and the woman descended with @ rush ‘There was a loud ery of anda general stampede. Fortunately, aut feliimto the branches of a large tree and was rescued without sustaining any injury. She was considerably frightened, but declared her intention of trying the feat again, —— Mr. Palmer Signed.

A Small Chance of Defeating the Meas- ure. The republicans are using all the power and influence they can to induce their ab- sent colleagues to return in time to vote on the federal election bill. Mr. Lodge and other friends of the bill have @ suspicion that the democrats intend to absent themselves from the hall at the time of taking the vote, so as to break a quorum, and republicans are be- ing notified that they must be on hand to meet this possible contingency. It is not at all likely that the democrats will resort to this means of breaking a quorum, as it would be but a temporary expedient and would not be apt to accomplish the defeat of the bill, as 8 quorum could be got together in the course of time. Besides it is estimated that between five and ten republicans will vote against the bill, and if the democrats were more successful than the republicai in securing the return of their absent members there might be the possibility of their defeating the bill. The chance of their doin; 80 seems extremely slim, but they cannot affor: to throw away any chance however remote, MR. VAUX’S FIRST SPEECH. He Attacks the Constitutionality of the Federal Election Bill. Mr, Vaux made an original and striking ar- gument on the federal election bill in the House this afternoon, attacking its constitution- ality. He contended that while the Constitu- tion gave Congress the right to reguiate the manner of holding elections for Congress this bill provided that the federal government should hold the election, This was his maiden speech aud he received marked attention, members gathering around = ae greeting him with applause every now and then.

Trial of the Young Man Who Shot Miss Lillie Moore. In the Criminal Court, Chiet Justice Bing- ham, this morning Harry J. Frankland, the young white man who on March 2d last shot Miss Lillie Moore on Rhode Island avenue be- tween 9th and 10th streets, waa placed on trial—Mrs, Lockwood appearing for the ac- cused, Mr. James A. K. Moore testified that he had had the defendant in his employment and he he was paying attentions to his daughter, when he sent him away. MISS MOORE'S STORY. ‘Miss Moore testified that on the morning of Sunday, March 2, the defendant met her on 9th street near Rhode Island avenue end asked her to go with him, but she declined, and he then shot her,’ firing five shots, four of them taking effect, He had lived at her father’s house and she went to church sometimes with him, She denied that she was cusped to him, but said he had asked if she loved nim. She replied “no” and he threat- ened, if she went against him, he wouid kill her. She had never seen Gathers di indicate that that be was he was insane, but did not thi very smart. Thomas F. Hersey, who saw the shooting and cbased and knocked Frankland dow: Policeman Asher, who arrested Frankland, tes- tified to the facts of the shooting. Ernest D. Frasier testified that he heard the young lady say that she was afraid she would meet him, At the station Frankland said: “Hereafter you will find out what I did it for.” THE DEFENSE. This closed the government's case. For the defense Frankland’s mother testified that the defendant wasavery bright boy up to ten years of age. At that time he had the scarlet fever, and a short after he was gored by abull. Since then, she said, he was not as bright and bad shown delusions, He had gone away from home, she said, to Baltimore, then to Buffalo in 1888, where, in August of that year, he was injured by slipping off aroof a distance of 20 to 25 feet.

Kimball, sister of the accused, and W. C. McMichael testified to peculiar conduct on the part of Frankland, FRANKLAND TESTIFIES. The defendant took the stand and appeared very deaf. Finally be said he knew Lilly Moore, and added: “I shot her, for I had to shoot her.” Something told me to shoot her,” When questioned by Mrs. Lockwood as to who told him he said a woman with black eyes whom he met at the Smithsonian grounds. ‘This woman told him that he had to kill sim- self and to shoot her too; to go out on Sunday and he would meet her on 9th street. This woman, he said, came to him sometimes and he had to do what she told him. On cross-examination witness said he loved Lillian Moore, ————— AGENERAL INCORPORATION ACT. Mr. Spooner’s Bill Agreed to by the Senate District Committee. Six members of the Senate committee on the District were at the regular weekly meeting this morning —Senators Ingalls, Farwell, Spooner, Higgins, Vance and Faulkner, The entire session was devoted to the discussion of Senator Spooner’s bill to provide for the incorporation of trust, loan, mortgage and certain other corporations within the Dis- trict. The various provisions of the measnre were carefully dissected, and when the entire bill had been gone over it was ordered to be favor- ably reported. This general incorporation is approved in order that there may be no further necessity for Congress being called upon to charter special corporations, “STRAUSS’ EXHILARATOR.” Will That Beverage Intoxtcate?—Judge Miller to Decide. Ever since the Commissioners declined to grant the application of Messrs, Roop & Nop- per for a liquor license at the Glove Theater non-intoxicating drinks have been handed over the bar, but for several weeks past the bar- tender has been dispensing ‘Strauss’ Exhila- rator” at 10 cents a drink. This substitute for whisky took well among the patrons of the bar—so well that it is claimed by the police that the ‘‘exhilarator” is intoxicating. Whether or not it is an intoxi- cating beverage is a question that Judge Miller will have to decide. POLICEMAN SUTTON TRIES AN “EXRILARATOR.” Among the wituesses who will appear will be Policeman Sutton, and be will tell from experi- ence what effect one drink has on the system, He stopped m the saloon one day and was “treated” toa drink after the bartender had sold some of the liquid toa customer. He offered a dime in payment for the drink, but the bartender told him that he never charged officers for drinks and invited him to call again. The proprictors were notified that there was a warrant out against them and they here instructed to appear in the Police Court today. “Skinny Bll’ Fights the Police. William Skidmore, who on account of his slender build is called “Skinny Bill,” was under the influence of liquor in a downtown saloon yesterday and Policemen Cotton and Kraemer of East Washington placed him under arrest, Ho objected to going with them and did not do so until after he had assaulted them both. Finally be was landed = in the first police station, where a number of ofli- cers found it a difficult task to get him behind the bars, He was taken before the Police Court this afternoon and arraigned for dis- orderly conduct and assaulting the officers, He plead guilty to the charges and wes fined §45 or seventy-five days’ imprisonment. ee Not a Thief. Hngh Hughes, the young man who was re- cently arrested on a charge of stealing 4 satchel from Father Stanton’s room in the St James Hotel, turns out not to be a thief, butise metber of a respectable family in Lynchburg, Va. He left a good position at his home and came here on a spree. Whisky and cigarette smoking, it is claimed, unbalanced his mind and he took the satchel while in that condition, When these facts were made known to the district attorney and Judge Miller today the young man was promptly released and re- turned to his parents. ——— Both Fists Too Much for Him. Pnovipence, RL, June 27.—Last night at the Gladstone Club Jack Fitzpatrick of Liver- pool, weighing 118 pounds, defeated, with two- ounce gloves, Joe weeky of East Providence, weighing 1145¢ pounds, for a €400 purse.
