Mackay was very damaging to Dr. Cream for com- ‘mitting an abortion. She stated that she was iudebted to the doctor §15, and when he iusisted upon bringiug the sick girl there she gould not refase. He visited the girl frequently, amd finally performed the egeration which comed her death Thutaday night. She loft so0n after with her children, and notified Dr. Cream, whose plan was to remove the body Saturdsy night, bad not the stench aroused the neighbors and caused an investigation and the arrest of the doctorthat night. It is reported that the doctor offered a strect car conductor §10 toremove the body. The inquest was concluded yester- day afternoon and both Dr. Cream and Mrs. Mackay were held for mur- der without bail. They each crim- inated the other in their testi- mony. Mrs. Mackay testified that Dr. Cream committed the abortion and that after the victim died, he wanted to buy the witness to burn up the house to cover the crime. Dr. Cream testified, with much emotion; the first time he saw the pa- tient ho was called by Mrs. Mac- Eay, who tcddd “him that Mra. Falkner had had a wmiscarrage, produced by 8 Subsequently, on beinz closely ques- tioned, the colored woman admitted that she bad committed an abortion upon her with iustruments, the uss of which she had been shown by Dr. C.

Cricaco, August 24—1a. m.—The glory of camp life hasdeparted. The tents are being rapidly removed, snd after to-day little will remain save the dried and trampled grass of Lake Park, where one week ago the knight- Iy host assembled in such magnifi- cence. One or two comma: and a few stragglers remained in_the city over Sunday. Some of the Erie, Wyoming and Pittsburg commander- ies were at the Tremont. Parkers- burg, West Virginia, commandery lingered at the Matteson. At the Gardner and Palmer housea few of the California_commandery remained to keep alive the impression of kindli- ncss and genercsity earned here by strangers from the Golden Gate. One commandery was still at the Pacifi, and Gravd Recorder Parvin was there ug from the onerovs duties of his co. Grand Master Sir Knight njamin Dean, also remained over Sunday. There are still thousands of strangers here who came partly for pleasare, but mainly on business. The business of the city was rather im- proved than interfered with by the great conclave. Interviews with the retall dealers show that, while the profite of thesaloons and hotels were normous, the receipts of other branches were large in proportion. The suloors and hotels quadrupled their receipts. A jewelry firm, one of the highest in the northwest, figure up for the week su incrense of 75 per cent. Clothing houses dida corres- pondingly large business. The Inter- Ocean, in some sense the organ of Ma- sonry here, tmooths over all disagree- able recollections thus: “They came, they saw, they conquered, and now they are gone. That they will carry away pleasant recollections of this great city is a certainty, If some of the arraugements were a little faulty, tho great crowd, the warm weather, and the inevitable conflicts of author- ity must be some excute. Of the beartiness of our welcomethere can be no doubt, and if the results did not quite justify the hopes we and they had formed, the fault is not in our in- tention,but in the irony of fate. ““The best Iaid schemes of mice and men gang sft aglea,” and commitiees of re- ception sre but mortal, epite of their swords and feathers. e ey A Fiend Incarnate. Special Dispatches to The Bee. st upon the remains of Mary Anu Matilda PF&ulkner, killed by an abortion, was bezun yesterday at the West Lake stroet station. The statement of the colored woman, Mrs, Hattie Mackaye, in whose house the body was found, and that given by Dr. Cream, on Friday, contradict each other as to which of them com- mitted the abortion. The girl's moth- er, who lives at Ottawa, Canada, was informed of her daughter's death Sat- urday evening. She dreamed Friday night that her daughter had died and the confirmation of her fears falls with terrible effeot upon the aged woman. 1n 1879 Dr. Cream lived at London, Out. Inthespring of that year s l named Kittic Gardner was seen to enter his office. A few days after- wards the gitl was found dead m an outhouse in the rear of his office. She wasin a sitting posture with a bottle of chloroform at_herside, The skin of her face was abraded as if by the use of ammonia, and the evidence at the inquest showed that chloroform had been administered for the pur- pose of producing sbortion, and the ammonia subsequently given to re- store her. Letters found upon the girl created a great scandal in Lon- don, but there was nothing to posi- tively connect Dr. Cream with the crime and he wasrelessed. Dr. Cream had formerly been a member of the Y. M. C. A. and a teacher in the Pres- byterian Sunday school. The scandal caused his expulsion and he left Lon- don and came to Chicago. —_— Forzer's Felony. Special Diepateh to The bea.

Reavixo, Pa., August 24—1a. m. —A most horrible discovery was made here yesterday ty the board of poor directors of Perks county, who found an insane man imprisoned in a hut in the Blue mountains. For twenly- seven years he has never seen the light of dsy. His habitation was made of rudely hewn logs. Tlie name of the lunhatic was Denjamin Schuyler, aged 65 years, and a native of Germany. He has been chained in the hut for 27 years by his brother, vho fed him. The lunatic inall that time was neither washed, clothed or shaved. Under the hut was a place wheroe a fire wan built in winter, the heat of which went up through the cracks in the floor. The lunatic was accustomed to beat the eide of the hut with his hand, mumbling, kicking and screaming. A rusty chain was attached to one of his legs and to the wall. He made violent resistance when he was removed. He was brought to Reading, dressed in a pet- ticoat. i captors wero mon of the county almshouse. The chaib on his leg bas not been filed off. It is re- ported that he became insane by bathig in a cold spring in an over- heated condition. The affair causes great excitement. — ——— Terrible Vengeance Averted. Spectal Dispateh to the Bee. LousviLie, Avgust 24, 1 a. m.—A A special to ihe Commercial from Paducah states that a negro was_sen- tenced nine years azo by the judge of the county court to ecven years in the penitentiary for attempting to commit a rape upon the daughter ef Back Heath, of that county. He swore vengeance, and said that he would come back some day and kill Heath snd the girl. When his time expired he started back to Marshall county, but stole a horse and was cap- tured and served two years or mors in the penitentiary. Last week he made his appearance in Marshall and openly declared bis intention to go out in the country and kill Heath and his daugh- ter. He was known to be & despera- do, and several citizens armed them- eelves and quietly went out to the house. Saturday night the negro rode up and dismounted and was at once called upon to surrender, which he refused, and was lodged in jail. When captured he was armed with a hatchet and a large butcher knife. anes Sitting Bull's Indians. Bpecial Dispatches to Tus Exr, CHICAGO, August 24, 1a. m.—The following has been recoived at General Sheridan's headquarte Sr. Pavy, August 21.—The follow- ing, dated Fort Kecgh, August 20th, has just been received. By a subse- quent telegram from Indian Inapector Pollock, dated Fort Buford, 19th inst. the indications are not so favorable. He reports that the Uncapshas, Sit- ting Bull's tribe, prevented a large number of hostile Indians from cros- sing the Missouri to come and surren- der, and that the number actually en route to surrender Big Road or Broad Trail are much less than first reported. Rain-in-the-face and forty braves are 1 at the agency and are silent and n. This report also states that the warriors are movirg south and the children north, which does not look well.

Special Dispateh to Tus, New York, August 24—1 a. m.— The Anglo. American cable company on the 21st accomplished the notable teat of laying their cable, which will be known as the cable of 1880, from Hearts Content to Valencia, ina lit- tle over eleven days.

The position of The Omaha Repub- lican _on tho propsed reform in the Dovglas county primaries seems to bo untenable, Acainst the plan_itself not the first objection is urzed—ex- cept that Rosewater originated it and | that he and his friends are entrusted with the execution. While it might have been wiser to have had both f; tions represented on_the executive committeo and as registrara, unless it can be shown that those now acting do stice to fome republi- can there can be no injury done. Should the republican faction, or any republican adhering to it, be refused regiatration, or should the Rosewater factlon register those of their friends not entltled to rezistration, then there would be just cause of complaint. Should the executive committes at- tempt to_award credentials to those not entitled to them, as The Republi- can pretends to believe, then there would be just cause to “kick.” But 80 long as all genulne republicans, and none others, have a right to register and vote, it is difficult to seo how any- one can be wronged. It looks very much as though those objecting de- spaired of winning in a fair fight and consequently want the doors left open for the usnal number of democrats, tramps and repeaters, 20 notorious in [Sutton Register.
