{ EIGHTEENTH YEAR. IURDERED BY VIGILANTES, A Farmer Perforated With Twenty- !’our Bullet Holes. HE HARBORED THE RUSTLERS. An Alleged Assassin Captured at Ne- braska City—A Horsey Maniac E—=Memorinl Day—Crops and Fraits, Killed One and Captared Another. Srrixaview, Neb,, May 81.—[Special Telo- gram to Tie Bee]—John T, Newell, a farmer, thirty-four years of age, living about nine- teen miles rorthwest of this place, near the Keya Paha river, was, yesterday morning, found dead in his bed with twenty-four bul- Jet holes in his body. Newell is unmarried and lived alone. No clue has, so far, been obtained as to the perpetrators of the deed, but it is generally conceded to have been the work of vigilantes, as Newell was outspoken in denunciation of the orgenization, and is said to have harbored rustlers His shooting was probably due to the re- cent disappearance of a number of cattle from the combination herd of Messrs. Nei- hus and Taylor. A man named George Babcock, a former resident of the same locality, but who has for some time been located in Bassett, on Wednesday last paid a visit to his former home, and on Thursday morning, at § o'clock, was waited on by a band of masked and armed men at the residence of his brother- in law, T. V. Smith, captured and taken to the reservation on the north; and, as he has not since been seen, itis feared he has shared the fate of Newell. Much excitement prevails on the Keya Paha. Threats of vengeance are indulged in by the antis and more bloodshed and violence is feared. bt g Captured By Vigilantes.

EBRASKA CiTy, Neb., May 81 to-day arrested a man who claims that his neme is Washington Scramlin, but who is, beyond the question of & douht, Ben Hay- den, who so brutally murdered Richard Bramhall at Red Oak, In, November 12, 1882, and then wounded Mrs. Bramhall. Hayden escaped, and has not been heard of until to-day. Arthur Spencer and wife, who lived in the Bramball family at the time of the murdér, met Hayden on the streets of this city several evenings ago and mstantly recognized the murderer, with whom they had been well acquainted. Mr. Spencer immediately informed the sheriff, who traced Hayden to his habitation. He was living in a small dark cave in a bank in the soathern purt town, and never left it except after night- fall. 'The neighbors did not even know of the existence of the cave and had never seen the man, although he says he has lived there for the past year, He answers the descrip- tion of Hayden perfectly, and a number of former Red Oak citizens called at the jail, this evening, and fully identified him. When he was told by Mrs. encer that she recoz- nized him, he said Well, what if I am Ben Haydep, [ am not fool erough to own up to it,” and then he refused to talk further. He denied, at first, ever having been in Towa, but afterwards acknowledged that he had worked in Red Oak some years ago. Persons from that place will be here to-morrow to fully establish his identity. A of $1,500 is offered for his arrest. inkalaw Acquitted.

HUNDREDS OF FLOATING BODIES. The Awful Oatastrophe Caused By the Bursting of a Reservoir — Several Towns Threatened With Destruction, The People Panic-Stricken. Prrrsnunra, May 81,—The flood av Johns- town has resulted in an awful catastrophe, It is said the reservoir above town broke about 5 o'clock, this morning, and an Im- mense volume of water rushed down to the city, carrying with it death and de- struction. Houses with their occupants were swept away and many were drowned. There s no communica- tion with Johnstown, but the telegraph operator on the Pennsylvania road tower at Sauk Hollow, twelve miles this side of Johnstown, says at least seventy-five dead bodies have floated past. The wires are all down, and trains are running east of Blairs- ville, which is about twenty-five miles west of Johnstown. There is no way to get to the scene of the disaster, and full particulars can hardly be obtained to-night, although every effort is being made to do so. There will be no trains through to the east before to-mor- row. A LATER REPORT. The latest reliable information received from Johnstown comes through Pennsyl- vania road ofiicials, who aver that over two hundred dead bodies bave been counted float- ing down the stream at Johnstown alone, while along the lines many additional lives had been Jost. It is asserted there are but two houses in Johnstown proper entirely above the water line. A special train bear- ing the Pennsylvania railroad officials and Associated press correspondents has left this city for the scene. Telegraphic communi- cation is entirely cut off, and until telegraph repair men and operators with the necessary instruments open up at the nearest point, but little reliable information can be obtained! AS SEEN AT GREENSB'IRG. Grei BURG, Pa., May 31.—Johnstown is completely submerged and hundreds of lives are lost. Houses are floating about and the people are panic-stricken and fleeing to the mountains. At a point near New Florence eighty-five persons have been scen float- ing down the river. The Covetown and New Florence bridges have been washed away, and all the buildings along the Conemaugh, between New Flor- ence and J stown, have been carried away. The railroad towers have been aban- doned by the operators. The people here who have friends in the fiooded district are eagerly waiting for news at the telegraph office, Great uneasiness prevails. The river at Livermore is rising and great de- struction will follow. THE JUNIATA RISING. TYRONE, Pa., May 3L.—The Juniata river has overflowed its banks at this place and flocded the entire southern portion of the city, causing great destruction to property. People living in the flooded districts had to removed from their homes in wagons to places of safety. All railroads cen- tering in this place are greatly damaged by the floods. The ~water was never known to be so high at this place before. At Curwinsviile, one man was drowned and at Clearfield two young ladies were drowned in trying to escape from the flooded district. The Susquehanna river has overflowed 1ts banks at Clearfield and the entire place is under water, and all means of escape is cut offl. Many pcople have gath- ered in the coart house and opera house for safety. This evening it is still raining and the waters are rising rapidly. TELEGRAPIL WIRES DOWN. Braovock, Pa, May 31.—The Associated press correspondent on o _special train en route to the scene of the disaster, says that the telegraph wires being down’ absolutely for six or seven miles below the immediate scene, and being in unworkable shape for three or four miles distant, it was after 7 o'clock before an accurate outline of lhuufl'cct of the tidal wave could be learned. The chief oficials of the Pittsburg end of the main lme of the Pennsylvania railroad received most of their first informa- tion from the signal tower at Sauk Hollow, six miles west of Johnstown. At a t]ul\rlm' of 8 o'ciock a boy was rescued by men in the signal tower of the railroad company. His name is unknown, but he said that with his father, mother, brother and two sisters he was swept over the breast of the new stone railroad bridge at Johnstown; that it cap- sized a few seconds later and they were all drowned, so far as be could tell. The railroad = operator officially reports that before dark they were able to count 119 per- sons clinging to buildings and wreckage or drowned and floating ot the current. If this information is to be credited the damage in the town proper must be in the nature of a clean sweep. As early as 1 o'clock an alarm was sent to Jobustown that there was danger from. the dam. The railroa oficials were notitied and in a very short time began to carry people from the town to places of safety, on the regular trains and on hastily improvised rescuing trains, Superintendent Pitcairn, of the western division of the Penusylvania rallroad, was on his way to South Fork and was notified of the impenad- ing trouble, A DESCRIPTION OF THE RESERVOIR. In order to understand the nature of this calamity, it is necessary to describe the respective locations of the reservoir at John- stown, It lies about two and a half miles north- east of Johnstown, and is the site of the old reservoir, which was one of the feeders ot the Peunnsylvania canal, This sheet of water was formerly known as Conemaugh lake. Itis from 200 to 300 feet above the level of Johnstown, being in the mountains. It1s about three and a half miles long and from a mile to a mile and a quarter in width, and in some places it is 100 fect in depth. It holds more water than any other reservoir, natural or artificial in the United States, It was beld eck by a dam 700 to 100 feet wide. l'. is y feet in thicknes at the base, heignt is 110 feet, The top has a breadth n' over twenty feot. Recognizing the menace which the lake held to the region below, the South ork club, which owned the reservoir, had the dam inspected once a month y o Pennsylvania road engineer and their investization showed that nothing less than some convulsion of nature would tear the barrier away and loosen the weapon of death, The stweady rains of the past forty- eight hours increased the volume of water m all the swaull mountain streams, which were already swelled by lesser rains earlier iu the week, From the best information ob- tained at this time, it 15 evident that some- thing in the nature of a cloud burst must have waken place. HOURLY GROWING WORSE, PuilAvELPnia, May 81—Dispatches re- ceived up to midnight ut the oftice of the Pennsylvania railroad ndicate that the situation is hourly growing worse. The cks west of Johnslown are, at some points, oly carried away and the roadbeds llu river for some distance above is filled with buildings and f(l y feet high, which is on fire hkz-ly to damage the bridge. The fire is beyond control. Johustown is literally wiped out. Other Floods.

It alsd rained some this afternoon, Two hundred families living near the river were forced leave their houses and fige to the hilis. The damage to property in this town is estimated at §100,000. The West Virginia Central and Pittsburg railroads are under water betwoen here and Cumberland, Md. Two bridges have been swept away. The loss on these roads will = be $250,000. No trains are running on the Cumboriand & Pennsylvania road. Twb trestles have been washed away. Nine Haltimore & Ohio trais are lodged here, ahd 1,200 emigrants are on the streets. The western end of the road has been impassable since last night, and it is hard to say whén travel will be re- sumed. A number of land slides have occurred on the road between here and Grafton, Tho loss to'the Baltimore & Ohio is very heavy, but cun not be estimated at present. At this hour (11:30 p. m.); the rain has ceased fallng and the wator!is subsiding, and no further danger is apprehended. radalebs B REMOVING ‘l‘flE TICKERS.

They Are Discoverod Over a Foot Under Ground. DEEPLY STAINED WITH BLOOD. The Vest Missing and in Its Stead One of Much Ooarser Material ~"“Mack" Segms a Vin- dictive Liar, Unearthed Near-a Sewer. Cnicaco, May 8l.—Late to-night it is learned that Dr. Cronin's clothes have been found. The first clue was obtained by the finding of underwear by the children men- tioned in these dispatches several days ago. The police began a vigorous searcn for the remainder of the clothing, and near the mouth of the Fifty-ninth street sewer un- earthed the murdered physician's pants, coat, shirt and undershirt. They were buried over a foot under ground. The shirt bore the name of the murdered doctor and the other articles were roadily recogaized as portions of his apparel. Strange to say, however, the vest was miss- ng, and in its place was a vest of much coarser material. This garment prosumably belonged to one of the murderers or accom- plices. For this reason the police are using every effort to suppress their discovery, hoping that Cronin’s vest may be discovered in the possession of one of the murderers. The pants found were deeply stained with blood. CHARGED WITI CRONIN'S MURDER. This afternoon ex-Detective Coughlin, Ice Man Sullivan, and Frank Woodruff, alias Black, wero arraigned before Judge William- son on the charge of murdering Dr. Cronin. Each of the men entered a formal plea of not guilty and they werg returned to jail. MACKM 8TORY, An evening paper says that some valuable information in the Cronin e has been gathered from the man “Mack,” alius Wil- liams alias McWilliams, who was arrested in a cheap lodging house. “Mack” claims to be acarpenter. He told the following story: “On the 2d of May I was working for a Mrs, Wilson, on North Ashlond avenue, scarcely a block from the Carlson cottage. 1 was putting in screen windows at the time. ‘While at work, a lady, whose name { I understood to be Mrs. Dudley, came in ana began to talk with Mrs., Wilson. I was in the same room and overheard every word. Mrs. Dudley, who 18 a stout, fleshy woman, was talking very bitterly against @ physiclan who had attended her husband. I heard the name ‘Dr. Cronin’ mentioned, but I did not know whother the physician complained of was the Cronin referred to or not. Mrs. Dudley seemed very much excited and fre- quently made the remark in great spirit, ‘I will get even with him.” Mrs. Dudley said she was working in an_orphan asylum on Burlington street, but that she was going to leave the asylum, and that she dailv ex- pected to go to 1ve with her two brothers in @ cottage near by. Mrs. Dudley pointed 1in the direction of the Carlson cottage in re- ferring o tho place she was going to movo .into.’ At the Chicago nursery and half orphan asylum on Burlington street, it was found that a Mrs, Dudley had been there, but had sinee e away. It is belféved that Wil- liams is one of thénen who rented the Carl-, son_cottage; that he is a carpet-layor by trado, and that he laid the carpet in the cottage. Later—To-night the police officials say they have learned that ‘“Mack’s” real name s Dudley. The subposi- tion is that he is the husband of the woman mentioned in the story.

THE W:\Nl)hlllu“ RETURNS, Boodler Bl(‘(-nl’ikl!‘ Back Again From Over the Border. Cuicago, May 31.—Interest in the Cronin case was partially eclipsed to-day by a sen- sation created by thea nnouncoement of the return to Chicago of W. J. McGarigle, ex- warden of the county hospital, and general agent of Cook county’s boodle gang. A his- tory of this case, and of McGargle's sensa tional escape from the custody of Sherift Matson, and the subsequent chase into Canada need no repetition at this time. Shortly before noon to-day, Mo Garigle walked into Judge Shepard’s brancl of the county court, accompanied by State's Attorney Longnecker, Attorney Adams, K. J. Lehmann and James Fitzsimmons, the lat- ter two being McGarigle's bondsmen, The court officials and policemen waiting to give evidence in criminal cases starod in amaze- wment at the sight of the man who had been so long a fugitive 1 Cunada. The court sus- pended proceedings in the case ou trial and Lawyer Adams stated that an agree- ment bad been made between the state's at- torney and the counsel for the defendant, in view of arecent decision of the supreme court of Illinois, granting Kdward McDon- ald, ex-engineer of the county hospital, and a brother of Mike MeDonald, the well known political boss, a new trial. In view of that decision it had been agreed that a new trial shall be granted McGarigle; that he should enter a plea of guilty and pay a fine. State's Attorney Longenecker ~ smd such an arrangement had beon made, and desired that a fine of £l 000 be imposed. He said McDonald, who was co- defendant with McGarigle, had been granted a new trial, but that the state did not desire to try him agai He thought the arrange- ment with McGarigle, Canada, was the best that could be made, As to McDonald, he had served cighteen months 1n jail and suffered more than Me- Garigle. The difficulties in the way of the successful prosccution of a new trial were insuperable. He therefore moved that a nolle proseque be entered as to him, The orders were made by the court, and while the clerk was figuring up the costs, Mc- Garigle and his friends retired to the judge's chamber, McGarigle said he did not wish to talk further than to say lie proposed now to main in Chicago. He was given three years in the penitentiary the verdict of the jury and a fine of §1,000, The verdict was set aside by the supremc court of the state fif- teen months after he escaped from the sheriff, There were twenty - three indictments against him. it was on one,_ of these, the one under which he'and McDonald were tried, thav he was fined, the other l\vcnlv«t\\o were stricken off. The costs of the trial and those resulting from the forfeiture of his bonds amounted to about 1,660, This amount and the fine was paid to the clerk of the court, and McGarigle and McDonald are ouce more free men. who had escaped to e —_—— THROUBLE AT GE l‘\ The §tudents Take Up the Quarrel o! a Fellow Student. Beaver Fans, Pa, May 31 —[Special Tologram to T Brt]—Thb commence- ment exercises at Geneva college, that stanch, covenanter- institution, yesterday, was chat?terized by stormy proceedings, which, at one time, almost resulted in a riot. For a longtime trouble has been brewing between the fuculty and the students. Day before yesterday, at a class meeting, Will McAllister displayed to the dclighted stu- dents a series of life-size caricatures of the faculty. Yesterday morning Dr. George, the presi- dent, informed McAllister that neither the latter nor his sister could be graduated. The announcement fell like a thunderbolt on the astonished students, and when the class assembled upon the vlatform, before a large and fashionable audience in the chapel, it could bs seen that the members were wuot in a happy frame of mind. All went well, however, until Mc- Allister’s turn came to deliver an oration. Of course, he was absent, but the students 1 the gallery and auditorium set up a yell of “McAllister.” A scene of the greatest con- fusion followed. Dr. George sprang to his feet and demanded order, but his voice was drowned by cat-calls and hisses. “Clear the gallery,” cried Dr. George to the janitor, “Send him up here and we will throw him over the railing.” yelled the students. ‘“‘Send for the police,” cricd Dr. George, could hardly be heard. ally, quiet was restored. Dr. George he would not allow the McAllisters to be graduated because they had not paid for their diplomas. The affair will be brought before the next mecting of the synod. ——~— THE 810UX (,OD MISSION.

THEY LOVE THE LOST CAUSE, The Sword of Loo More Holy Tham the Blade of Bunker Hill—Ad- miral Gherardi Advises Avout Hayu. 518 FOUKTEENTA STRRET, Wasminarox, D, C,, May 81, Especially in the Maryland confoderate circles of Washington there was a howl to-day about the oration delivered in Baltfs more last night by General W, Bussey, first assistant secretary of the interior. A good many letters wore rocoivod during the day condemning the sentiment expressed n tha oration and describing the inaignation whiok abounds among the Baltimore olement. This languago is picked out as being especially offensive to the unreconstructod : “There is us much difference between the cause for which they (the confedorutos) fought and the cause of the union as between heaven and hell, and itisa_crime to teach the rising generation thai there was any< thing in the cause to justiy taking up arms.’” These two sentouces are also pointed oud as putting the iron into the soul of the col federate element in Baltinore : “If wo are to put down anarchism, we must have one flag. If these xonl’ednr.fi flags are to be brought out and worshipy the anarchists may bring out their flag. 1t will be remembered that ouly a few weeks ago General Rosser, tho unrecon= structed confederate cavalry commander 0! Virginia, who antagonized the raid of Phil Sheridan through the Shenandoah valley and who continued to abuse that hero us long as he hved, and to cast odium upon his grave after death, delivered an_oratiom in Baitimore in which he claimed that ond confederate cavalrymen could whip five yan= kees, and that the principle for which v.ug south fought was more pure and putriot than that of the north, aud there 18 prob- ably as large a robel element in Balumora uy as in_any section of the country. il B recalled that it as very questionable for many monthd during the late war, and _especially during the early part of it, whether therd were u majority of the citizens of Maryland and Baltimore loyal to the union, aud that the only demonstrations made in behalf of r side of the controversy were in sups port oi_the confederacy. It is probabio that General Bussey should muke his aps perance in Baltimore, very soon, that hq would be burned in effigy by some of tho ins dignant citizens, but by a much smuller number than a fe.y yeurs ago, for tariff pro- tection and republicanmisin generally have taken very long and pronounced strides in the monumental city.
