He May Make it Hot for Certain Par- ties—Schaak Suspended. 110460, June 8.—The many contradictory confessions of the imprisoned horse thief Woodruff, alias Black, regarding the Cronin mystery were capped by a brand new narra- tive from him regarding the affair. During the inquest Police Captain Schaak, who was was on the witness stand, had testified as to theinvestigations which followed the arrest of Woodruff for horse stealing and retold the whole of Woodrui’s varied stories about the men whom bo claimed were named King aud Fairburn, &nd the carrying off of a woman’s body 1n a trunk. When the cap- tain was asked if ho had any recent conver- sation with Woodruff, be said: ““Woodruff sent for me the day the grand jury was in session on this case and we went together into s private room av the jail. ‘Woodruft went on_to say that there were a good many things he had not told about the case. He continued by saying he was in a saloon one afternoon with King and Fair- burn when a stran, d took King aside. Woodruff said the man had a bl[g roll of money, and that he gave some to King and more to Fairburn, They went out together and the strango man left them at the door. After he had gone Woodruff said he asked King who 1t was, and he said: “That’s the great lawyer, Aléxander Sulli- van. Captain Schaak added, in reply to & juror’s question, that the next day after Woodruft had been indicted for horse stealing he “sent word he would not talk any more. The Daily News says this evening that Woodruff this morning declared: "I ain’t going to get the worst of it, although there are people trying to give it to me. I ain’t an Irish Catholic, and T suppose the Irish will try to give mo tho worst of it, but they had better look out. If I find they are trying to do that I'll make some of them think hades is not more than five minutes’ distant.” Captain Schank was lu:sundad from duty, to-night, by Chief Hubbard for alleged dere- liction in the Cronin case. The action was taken after Schaack’s examination before the coroner's jury, and 18 announced to be based upon Schaak’s neglect to summon persons other than Mrs. Conklin to ident- ify the [famous white horse rig, and for not inquring into the where- abouts of Detectives Coughlin and Whalen the night of May 4. Chief Hubbard to-nigh! in un nterview after the suspension sharge: that Schaak’s course in the Cronin matter was duo to the fact that in the efforts which had been made by Schaak’s enemies to oust him from office Schaak had found a powerful friend in Alexander Suilivan, and in one case Sullivan had saved Schaak his rank and star as a captain. ¥ —— CONCERT AT SEA. Handsome Uontribution to a Seaman’s Charity. Pagrts, June 4.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tux Ber. |—The last trip_of the Transatiaatic company’s steamship La Nor- mandie, from New York to, Havre, proved a profitable one for charity. A concert was organized in aid of the Societe Centrale de Naufrage et des Naufrages, for which the lllll:ga‘nme sum of 1,050 francs was col- ected. In addition to this the sum of 8,000 francs was collected for the benefit of the widow: and orphansof the pilots drowned on the night of May 18, 188, thres boats having come into collision with La Normandie. A committee consisting of Messrs. E. C. Moore, Samuel Shaw and Aronson have de- cided to forwurd the 3,000 fancs by cable to New York through the Herald. o The Weather in Dakota. Huroy, Dak., June 4,—[Special Telegram to Tur Ber.]—Sergeant Glenn, director of Dakota crop, and manager of the United States Signal bureau, reports, for the week ending June 3, as foilows: The temperature for the week has been below the average, frost in some localities injuring potato vines, ete. The rainfall has been average, and fairly distributed, sunshine has been about average. The week has been favorable for wheat, but t0o cool for corn and oats, but these crops are doing well. Muny points need rain and warm weather. el GROWING DESPERATE, Thirteent!i Street Taxpayers Adver- tise Their Wrongs, Osama, June 4—To the Editor of Tur Bee: ‘I'he long suffering citizens on the cast side of South Thirteenth street are gotting desperate. Four years ago, they were put under a heavy tax for paving the street. They bore the expense willingly, expeoting that at last justice would be done them; that the ordances requiring sidewalks to be laid on paved streets, would be put into effact on that street also, and that the east side of it would enjoy equal benefits with the west side. Alas for the blasted hopes! Eour years have passed and the west side of Thirteeath stroet has enjoyed the monopoly of travel aud of business because of the great njustice being dono to the east side by a vi- olation of the ordinance, and the refusal to order a uniform snd favorable sidewalls onthatside. Again and again we have pe- titioned the council for relief, for simple justice. But in vain, Finally, 1t seemed, that justice, tardy as 1t may have boen, will be done to us. ‘Ten days ago, THk Beg an- nounced, vhat the sidewalk was ordered, and would be laid in fifteen uays. But now, we understand, that the old fog- gies, who stand in the way of all progress, who do wuot improve their property, do not make any investment, but grumblo and croak agalnst every improve- ment and against high ta¥es, are combining in a last grand effort to prevent the much- needed improvement and will petition the council to-night to postpone the laying of the sidewalk, Now will the councii do it Will it listen to the wishes of croakers, who would have caused the city of Omaha to remain a village if it were within their power, or will it listen 1o the wishes of live citizens, who have in- vested all, and in some cases more than all, in improvements which are now unprofitable ! ‘Will the council discourage improvements and encourage old-foggyism? Will the coun- cil persist in wronging the live citizens to favor a few croakers! Will it coptinue to pile-taxes on us and prevent the rnulbuiu of carning enough to pay them! Will it dare to ruin us to humor the drones of our busy eity! We hope unot. We trust mnot. We horfi that there are enough men in the council o prevent the continuation, of this injustice. 13ut if there are not, we will want to know why. We have suffcred long, we have suffered much. and we are growing desperate. THIRTEENTA STREET TAXPAYERS. Redmond Held for Murder. Pigrgre, Dak., June 4.—(Special Telegram to Tus Bee.]--In the preliminary examina- tion of Arthur Redmond, for the murder of W. G. Duncan, conciuded this afternoon the defense waived a hearing aud the pris- oner was bouud over to the next term of the federal court, without bail. Some strong testimony was brought out, which seems to wake the strongest circumstantial evidence against Redmond. A number of Indians and half-breeds are in the cky us wituesses in the case. e — $30,000 For the Snfferers. HosroX, June 8.—The legislature has passed a resolution appropriating $30,000 for the Pennsylvania sulferers, THE DROWNED CITY. [ [Continued from First Page.] erod with mud, it is takea to the ante-roomn of the school, where it is placed under a hydrant and the muck and slime + washed off. The clothes aro ripped open aud the attendant scarches the ckots for valuables or papers that would jead to identification. Four men lift the corpse on a_rude table and there it is thor- oughly washed and embalming fluid injected, then, with the other bodies, the corpse lies in a large room until it is identified or becomes offensive. In the latter case it is hurried to the large grave, the grave that will horeaftor nl.m-, a monument over it bearing the inscrip- vion : “TAE UNKNOWN DEAD.” “The number of the latter is growing hourly because pestilence stalks in Johns- town, and the bloated, disfigured masses of flesh can not be held much longer. Bodies of stalwart workmen lie beside the remaios of dainty ladies, many of whom are still decked with costly ear-rings with jowels on their flugers. Rioh and poor throng these quarters and gaze with awe-struck faces at the masses of mutilations, in the hope of re- cognizing & missing one, $o0 as to accord the body a decent burial. A wealthy young Philadelphian named Ogle recontly became engaged to u Johns- town lady, Miss Carrie Dieh). They were to be wedded in the middle of June, and both parties wore preparing for the ceremony. The lover heard of the terribte flood, but, knowing that the residence of his dear one was up in the hills, felt little fear for her safety, To make sure, however, he started for Johnstown, arriving to-day. Nohr the Fourth streot morgue he met Mr. Diehl *“Thank God you are safe,” he exclaimed, then added, *'Is Carrie welli" “'Sho was visiting in the vallay when the flood cawme,” was the mouraful reply, then he beckonod. the young man to enter the cham- ber of death. A moment later Ogle was kneeling beside a rough bier and was kissing A COLD WHITE FACE. From the lifeless finger he slipped a thin 1d ring and i its piace put on his own. ‘Then he stole quietly out, one of a thousand made to mourn by the bursting of the South Fork dam. “Mamma, mamma," cried achild. Ste had recognized & budy that no one else could, and in a moment the corpse was ticketed, boxed and delivered to laborers, who bore 1% away to join the long faneral procession. A mother recognized her baby boy. *Keep it 8 few minutes,” she asked the undertaker w charge, In a few moments she returned, carrying in her arms & little white cas- ket. hen she hired two men to bear it to the cometery. No hearses are seen in Johustown. Relatives recognize their dead, secure coffins, get them carried the best way they can to the morgues, then to the graveyards. A prayer, some tears, and a few more of the dead thousands are buried in mother earth. A frequent visitor to these horrible places is David John Lewis. All over Johustown he rides a powerfu! gray horse and to each one he meets whom he knows, ho exclaims: *“IAVE YOU SEEN MY SISTERS!" Haraly waiting for a reply he gallops away either 10 seek ingress to s morgue or to ride slong the river bank. One weel ago he was wortn $60,000, all being invested in a large day he owns the commission business. horse he rides, the clothes on his back, that is all. In the flerce wave were buried five of his near relatives, his sisters, Anna and Lizzio acd Maggie. The last was mar- ried,and her little boy and babewere drowned. Flood aud fire claimed among their victims not only the living, but the dead. To-day a handsome coffin was found half burned, in some charred wreckage. Inside was found the body of a man, shrouded. for burial, but 80 scorched about the head and face as to be unrecognizable. The supposition is the house in which the dead man had lain had been crushed and the debris vartially consumed by fire. SAVED SIXTY LIVES. I H. Klein claims the distinction of being the only New Yorker in Johnstown who escaped the tlood, and the honor of having rescued or assisted to rescue sixty persons. His base of operations was the Merchant's hotel, and his plan, to Lift persons from the windows of houses swimming by. Among those he saved were Rev. Phillips, who, as as he glided by, was trying to hold his wife and two children above the water by means of a table, on which he vlaced them, and raised the load to his head. The house swung against the hotel and stayed just long enough for the rescue to be completed. Klein has been working hard to alleviate the suf- feriens of the victims, Chairman Moxham, of the citizens' com- mittee tells a frightful story of the DESECRATION OF THE DEAD and of the looting of houses. On the after- noon of the disaster he was work- g among the victims on the hill- side above Jonnstown when he noticed a colored man hand a colored woman a gold watch and chain, with the re- mark, ‘‘Hold my watch for me. Lawm afraid Twill lose it.” The man was apparently working industriously upon the wrock, and Moxham did not think anything of the cir- cumstances until he saw the nogro step up to the woman ugain, hand her auother watch and repeat his remark. Suspecting some- thing wrong, Maxham had the woman placed under arrest. Hor pockets were found to be filled with watches and jewelry. There were several rings that were bloody. PINGERS HAD BEEN CUT OFF the ‘dead for the gold. Later on Moxham discovered several cart loads of shoes and clothing secreted back on one of the hills. One man hud a clothes line strung full of clothing evidently taken from .the_ victims, as they were wet and muddy. When the officers attempted to seize the goods the fellow opened fire upon them with a revolver. They returned the salute and did not stop after regaining the clothes, to see what the effoct had been. As to the failure of the Johnstown coun- cils to afford police protection, there are found wany extenuating circumstances. One-fourth of the councilmen are believed to have lost their lives in the flood, and there 1s scarcely one of the living who bave not met with some terrible loss. Five Italians were caught this afternoon while in the act of exhuming a body at the cemetery. Fortunately for them there were few people around, or they would undoubt- edly have buen strung up. As it was, they were taken in charge of by a file of soldiers and locked in a box car. Petty thieying is certainly going on, but by to-morrow a thor- ough military patrol will prevent it in a great measure. Adjutant-General Hastings at midnight wired Governor Beaver his report of the day. It is & most encouraging one and shows that the terror-stricken city 18 recovering from {.he blow struck here. The report is as fol- . The Fourteenth regiment arrived here to-day, 400 strong. The burgess of Johns- town and the sheriff of Cambria county finally requested the troops this morning. There has boen no violence or disorder conduct. Several thieves have been arrested. About 1,500 borers are at work, and squads are coming io from all sides. The prosent force wili probubly be doubled to-morrow. There is plenty of food and clothing, The survivors are regainin their health, Chairman Moxham, of the citi- zens' committee, became exhausted to-day, and Jumes Soott, of Pittsburg, was elected in his place. The orgsnization is now per- fect. D, H, Hasrings,” Four long trenches two feet long, seven wide and three feet deep form graves for 200 victams of the flood whose bodies have been recovered at Nuneveh, ten miles below Johns- town, to-day. This is tne first open- ing of «the nurrow little valley through which _the Conemaugh dashes like a mill race. From the fleids of mud w wmany bodies have been taken. The searchers find many of the bodies by means of bands or pieces of clothing sticking through the mud. They carry long sticks with which they prod the soil. The Westmoreland county commissioners yesterday purchased an acre of ground-on the side of the mountains and converted it into a cemetery. A gang of laborers were ot worlk all day digging trenches, ‘The scenes at the cemetery to-night were depressiug, and the sympathetic torches of laborers looked from ucross the flelds like so mavy jack-o-lanterns, luring their victims on to destruction. Coroner Hammer, of Allegheny, is at this point dojug_ excellent work. Ris jury was organized Saturday and have heard plent, of mumon{. Coroner Hammer will pus on to South Fork as soon as the railroad is_ open, and with the jury make @ formal examination of the lake, The testi- mony consists of & description of tue flood by those who escaped, aud s description of the lake by those who had been it.

JOuNSTOWN, Jiffid "1 notice that the secratary of the Solith Park Fishing club said, yostorday, thift th e club had fled an indemaity bond, #& éfhimed by a citizon of Ebensbnrg, and that complaints had never been made about 'thé safety of the dam by any of Jonnstown'd citizans. He is undoubt- edly correct as to the bond, but it is mislead- ing s to the seconil part of his statements. There is no shafowdf doubt but that vhe citizons of Camlb¥ta cbunty frequently com- plained, and at the timo the dam was con- structed a very vigbrous effort was made to put a stop to the work. It is true, the leador of this movement was not a citizon of Johnstown, but he was and is a large mine owner in Cambria county. His mine adjoins the reservoir prop- erty. Ho rolated to me Saturday the story of hiis labors in his effort to protect the lives and property in that valley. He was fre- quently on the spot and his own engineer in- spected the work, He says the embank- ment was principally of shale and clay and that straw was used to stop the leaking of the water while the work was going on. He called on the sheriff of Cambria county and told him it was his duty to apply to the court for an injunction. The sheriff promised to give the matter his attention, but instead of going before the oourt, he. went to the Cambria irom com: pany for consultation. Aun employe was sent up to make inspootion, and as his re- port was favorable to the reservoir work, the sneriff went no further. But the gentlo- man referred to said he had mot failed to make publio his protest at the time and to renew it frequently. This recommendation for an injunction and tne protest were spoken of by the citizens of Altoona as a hackneyed subject. The rumor of the ex break was prevalent early in the day, but the eiti- zens remarked that the humor was a fs ar incident of the annual freshets. It was the old classio story, ‘‘wolf, wolf."” They gave up the first floors to the water and retired up stairs to wait until the river should recede, as they had done often before. scouting the oft-told story of the breaking of the reservoir. The reader will note the ro- mariable conflict between that shalo and clay story of the mine owner, referred to above, and the published statement of Gen- eral Moorehead, who had charge of con- struction, that the masonry was solid gran- 1we and limestone and was believed to be en- during as the pyramids of Egypt. The awful disaster would seem to coufirm the allegation of the use of unfit materials in construction. The number of passengers on the day express is known to have been lost is six: besides these there are two ladies missing and unaccounted for, but who may yet be alive, A conductor who was at Conemaugh on the fateful day claims to have run through the cars and told_the passengers to run to the mountaius. The passengers who suryive are anxious to make the acquaintance of that conductor. _They certainly neither saw him nor heard him. His intention may have been good, but the good deed was omitted. ‘When the passengers reached the mountain- side they found there two conductors in beautifal white caps. Their maunner was calm, and their clothing unspotted, I asked one of them why he did not notify the pas- sengers of the breaking of the dam. He replied in somo gonfusion that he had no time. His companion: made report to his superior, which report tas carried over the mountuin by a passenger that night, but there was nothing 1n it to indicate_that any of the passengers were any of his concern. He reported the 10ss of two trains. In strik- ing contrast to the newlect of duty of these conductors, it is pleasant to note the manly. conduct of others. - First—always first— mentioned should be the locomotive engineer and fireman, whose bravery aud devotion were 80 conspicuous. They never neglected to give such wamning: as they could in the face of danger and in some cases of certamn death. ) X A brakeman riding deadhead, whose name can not be recalled, rendered splenaid ser- vice in rescuing a womau and children at the risk of his own life.

WirLiam H The Situation at Willlamsport. HARRISBURG, June 4.—Mayor Foresman, of Williamsport, telegraphed Governor Beaver to-day: *‘The boom has been cleaned of logs from the principal yards along the river front, and manufactuced lumber has been swept away. The houses of the people nearest the river have been carried away with all they possessed. ‘I'housands of paople are home- less and without anything but the clothes upon their backs. Mauy of our people aro in absolute want for the necessities of life, At a meeting of the business men, called yesterday, $7,000 was raised. Dead animals and all kinds of filth are strewed upon the streets, and grave fears of an epi- demic are entertained. It is impossi- ble to estimate the loss and damage to the different kinds of property. Five million dollars is a low estimate of the loss on lumber alone. Other losses are larger. The surrounding country suffered just as badly. Booms, bridges and villages have been swept away, and the loss of life has peen considerable, A vhousand militery tents will afford the greatest possible relief to our people, who are now wivhout shelter.” Goyernor 13eaver replied to Mayor Fore- man in substance as follows: *Will reach you with help as soon as Mont- gomery bridge can be crossed. Iam loading cars here with tiour and _groceries; notwith- standing vhe pressure of “our own stricken reople. Put your unemployed men to work n removing the debris and in cleaning your city. I will furnish means for paying them reasonable wages. The country is _respond- ing nobly, and the address sent out last night will give a better idea of the situation, so that I have no fear of any lack of means for furnishing all needed help.” Fixing Up the Lines. PriLapELpuis, June 4.—Superintendent Pettit, of the Pennsyivania road, made his way to the edge of the city of Lock Haven this morning and ascertained there was no suffering. Only one person 18 known to have been drowned at Lock Haven, but several lives are reported lost at Mill Hall, about four miles from Lock Haven. The through mails delayed at Altoona were started over the mountains to Pittsburg at 8 o'clock this morming, One hundred and thirty-two passeagers accompanied them. Th.x:{v 80 to Edensburg via Cresson by rail- road, and from Kdengburg to Blawrsville they will travel ove: ntain roads in wa- Rous, and at the lat! lace they will take the train for Pittsl .

The wires to Al " and Willlamsport are working very'bddly on account of the rain which is falling, and only the most meagre dispatches can be sent and received. All gaps in the proposed temporary route from Hnrrilhur&w Altoona have beeu closed ‘with the exception of thé big bridge at Mont- gomery, where the water is still too high and swift to work successfully.

WasmNoron, Juoe 4.—Secretary Proctor was at the white house early this morning and remained there some time in conference with the president in regard to weasures for the relief of the Johnstown sufferers. While there a tolegram was received from Governor Beaver at Harrisburg, asking it the government would forward pontoous for the immediate construction of bridges across the Conemaugh river.

Edward C. Will is a foundryman of Cambria, aged twonty-soven, whom no one ever suspected of possessing more than ordi- nary courage. When the flood was at its height and people were floating down the rushing torrent by hundreds, Will rushed to his boat and, sornseless to the pleadings of his wife and relatives, shoved his frail craft into tho current. Pushing rapidly alongside a roof upon which a woman and two children were kneeling, he skillfully Mfted the terrified croatuces into his boat and shot across the current back to the bank. Young Will repeated his perilous journey seven times, until twenty-two lives liad been saved. Next day, when most of Johnstown was still under water, Will ascended the stream to the desolato city and agaih dis- tinguishod himself by many acts of heroism and endurance. Among the heroes that these strange scenes developed he is only one of many. Thinks the Loss Will Be 20,000. Cn10AGo, June 4. —Frank B. Felt and Sid ney McCloud, both of this city, were in Johnstown on the fatal Fridey when it was buried beneath the waters of the doadly res- ervoir. They returned to this city this evening and Felt was in to-night ond modestly told of the heroic part which himself and friend took on that day. Mr. Felt, judging from th& number of people whom he saw around Johnstown, immedi- ately after the flood, says he would not be at all surprised if the list of drowned would, when completed, number 20,000 names. In one house in Kernville seven badies of adults were discovered, and fioating about on the water in the same room was a cradle in which lay a baby, alive. The fire at the stono bridgo, it secms, was not the only one. The Catholic church and convent took fire and fell. It is belioved about one hundred people iost their lives there. Safe at Altoona.

The Supreme Court. Des Moixes, 1a., June 4. —(Special Telo- gram to Tur Ber.]-<~The supreme court rendered two decisions, to-day, of more than commonr interest.

The direct Issuc was whether the county was liable for fees whenever con- stables might mako searches and find noth- ing. The supreme court says yos; and the fecs mast be paid. The second was that of the Mills Publisn- ing company, of this city, against the exceu- tive council to compel it to award it a con- tract for publishing the supreme court re- vorts, and enjoin the Stevens com- pany, of Missourl, from doing the work.
