CmicAGo, June 6.—In the Cronin inquest, to-day, the cashier of John T. Lester & C brokers, testified _that between Juno 1, 1852, and_April 18, 1883, Alexander Sullivan paid to the firm, on transactions with the firm, tho sum of $133,500; that during the same period ho drew out $115,318 in checks, and stock worth $14,000, showing a not loss of about One of Lester & Co.’s bookkeepers was put on the stand and proceeded to read an abstract of the transactions i stocks which Sullivan had with the firm during the period mentioned. The list was quite long and was not all read. Captain Thomas F. O'Convor, a member of the Clan-na-Gael, says that in 1885 a man came to see him. This man, he believed, lived in Philadelphia, but he could not re- member his name. The man told him that some men _were going across the water, and that the chaunces were that he (witness) would be called on to go. O'Connor mentioned this to his friend, Dr. Cronin, who advised him not o go; that thero wero enough good, honest Irishmen behind English bars who had been given away as soon as they arrived, and that he didn't belicve in the dynamite poticy. The stranger saw the witness in Dr. Cronin’s company, and he did not come to see him again. ‘'he only other notable witness of the day was John F. Beggs, a lawyer, senior guar- disn (presiding officer) of Camp No. 20, Clan- na-Gael. Beggs was cross-examined in a way that, for freedom and scope, could scarcely be sur- passed. He testified tuat P. O. Sullivan, the ice man, is a member of camp 20. Other than this the relevancy of the bulk of the witness’ testimony was not apparent at this stago of the proceedings. The witness deciared him- self a friend of Alexander Sullivan. The Daily News to-morrow will say: ‘It does mot appear the Irish cause iost any money by Alexander Sullivan’s banking operations." Mr. Sullivan, when asked what bank his account was transferred to from the Traders, promptly repliea the Chigago National. Lawyer A. S. Trude, speaking for Mr. Sullivan, in an interview said: “Mr. Sull- van was simply the agent of persons or a combmution desiring to operate on the board of trade, and his receipts show the word ‘agent.’ Sullivan did not know anything about speculations of this charac- ter—probubly could not tell a ‘put’ from a *call.’ His name was simply used on Lester & Co.’s books by a syndicate of bucket shop men in order that they might do business on the board of trade when their orders made it necessary for them to do so. The syndicate was made up of such firms as Murphy & Co. Mr. Sullivan met some of these parties in his law practice and was givon large sums of money with explicit written directions what to do with it. They or their customers were gawors or losars by the transactions made by Lester & Co., not Alexander Sulli- he public knows very well that the board of trade would not sanction Lester & Co., or any other firm doing an open business for bucket shops, and this was the reason for the concealment and the use of Mr. Sullivan’s nawe. Mr. Sullivan never drew a check in favor of any syndicate of bucket shop men for any sum untii he had the money in hand from them to meet it, Coincident with the time when Lo was thus acting as sgent for the bucket stop men, he received from Patrick Egan a large sum of money of which he was custodian, This sum was transferred from Paris to Now York and thence to Chicago, where it was deposited in the Trad- ers’ bank, Sullivan knowing that there was no loss to him personally from Lester & Co.'s transactions, he cared little what bank he drew the money from. He always had syndicate mouey n hand be- fore drawing a check to their broker.” Mr. Trude said further, that Mr. Sullivan has Mr. Egun’s receipt in full for the whole sum intrusted to bis keeping, and can trace all of the channels through which the money was finally disbursed. ————— Had to be Offensive Fartisans. WASHINGTON, June 6.—The civil service commission has completed its report on the results of the recent investigations made into certain matters connected with the examin- ing board of the New York custom house. The report says that the behavior of the local examining board has been characterized by great laxity and negligence, and, on the part of custom house employes, by positive fraud. It was shown by the report that those who were without political backing did not receive any show. -— Murder of a Marchioness, Brusskis, June 6.—The marchioness of Casteler, an old lady belonging to a noble Belgian family, has been found murdered in oer bed in Chateau Molbaux at Mons.

A Fremont Man Gone Wrong. Fremont, Neb,, June 6.—[Special to Tnr Bae.]—M. J. Golsten, a Fremont merchant, who has been running the Fair for some time, has suddenly disappeared from the city, leaving last evening, stating to his frionds that he was geing to Omaha, thence to Chicago to purchase goods. It 80 hap- pened that simultancous with his departure a young lady named Minnie Heller, who was sting in the capacity of housckeeper at the European hotel, also disappeared rather mysteriously. It is known that Golsten was friendly and intimate with the girl and the strong supposition hore, to-day, 18 that the two have fled to-gether, What adds interest to the circumstance is the fact that Golsten is married, having a wife and two children, who remain to- mourn his departure and his apparent infidelity, Golsten's creditors, learning of his absence, and acting on the supposition that he will not return, have se- cured attachments on his stock of goods, and have closed up his store. The first attach- ment was issued in favor of J. V. N. Biles, on a debt of 845, he taking sufficient goods to secure the claim, and turning them over to the sheriff. Next his father-in-law, Mr. Nel- #0n, who held a mortgage for §00, got out &n attachment, Other claims to be secured are those of the Roberts Notion company, of Omaha, for $425; the Kilpatrick-Koch com- pany, of Omaha, for $1,425. The total amount of goods in the store is estimated at $1,000. The Gandy Oase.

Lyman say in effect that he was acquainted with Gandy, and knew all about the case aud hoped that Gandy would be convicted. Lyman was foreman of the Gandy jury and can procure afidavits, with- out number, as to his honesty and_integrity. The information was filed to-night, and Bently was placed in charge of the sheriff untit he gave a bond of $700 for his appear- ance to-morrow morning.

Crrere, Neb, June 6.—[Special to Tme Bee.]—There have been troubles in the household of one Bruce in this city for some time, which culminated, last night, in a gen- eral uproar. About 10 o'clock yesterday evening Bruce began the performance by throwing his wife’s trunk, clothing and other apparel out of the house, saturated them with kerosene and applied a match. By this time the wife had alarmed the neighbors and Constable Gresora took the would-be firebug in charge. While the constable was taking the prisoner to the marshal’s residence to get the keys of the lock-up, the man ade & break for sweet liberty, but was recaptured. At tho marshal's house the constable was explaining what was wauted, the prisoner got tired waiting and went off looking for the keys of the cooler by himself. He has not found the keys yet, nor has the consta- ble found his prisoner. —— Burial of John 8. Bowen.

THE OIL WELLS. §) i A Visit to the Famous Shoshone Basin . Wyoming. Joe DeBarth ' thus describes, in the ‘Wind River Mountaineer, a visit to the Shoshone oil basi “On last Thursday morning, accom- panied by Fish Commissioner Orson Grimmett, I paid the wells of the Sho- shone oil basin p visit. Upon our arri- val at the wells we were received and royally entertained by Hon. Mike Mur- phy. After an'hour’s rest Major Domo Joe Brown joined the party and drove us to the three oil spouters. These wells are numbered 1, 2 and 3, and are situated about 1,000 feet apart, forming a triangle. No. 3 well was the first one visited. Here Messrs. Murphy and Brown un- locked the well and ‘‘turned on the steam.” A noise, loud as thunder, and not unlike that made by a locomotive’s exhaust, ensued. Then came the oil, a seething, smoking, black mass, thick as molasses and two inches in diameter. The mass, as it rushed from the well pipe, floated down a gradually inclin- ing ditchway and over an embankment into the smallest of two mighty lakes of lubricating liquid. In this natural lake (it bas been estimated by Prof. Charles Blydenburg) are fully 3,000 bar- rels of oil. nearly all of which cannot but be wasted in time through atmos pheric causes. Well No.2 is situated immediately on the hanks of the Little Popoagie river. The noise of the uprising gas, when the oil tube was opened, was al- most deafening, followed a minue later by & two-inch stream of jev black o The entire surroundings seemed sur- charged with the smell of oil, and Mr. Brown received one charge over the body that made him slippery as an eel, even his words partaking ol vhe lubri- cant’s nature and becoming remarkably smooth and oily. At well No. 1 the most marvelous sight met our gaze. Here is situated the famous oil spring that has been written of so often. After the well had spouted oil to a distance of forty feet abross the second lake and had been shut off, our attention was directed to the unusual disturbance occuring in the spring. The oil took on a motion something like water at a boiling heat; then the large bubbles would burst and throw the black Liquid into the air to a heighth of four feet. Mr. Murphy in- formed us that the spring always *‘acted just s0” whenever the well was turned on and then closed. Although we paid the spring a second visit some half hour after the well had been closed, its sur- face was as much or ¢en more disturbed than when we first noticed its strange actions Our attention was next directed to the larger of the two oil lakes. This lake is about threc ' ‘wirved yardsin length, its width varying from twelve to fifty feet, This huge body of oil is so thick that wild ducks lighting on its surface become 8o weighed that they are never able to extricate themselves, in consequence of which the bodies of dead ducks are a8 thick on the oily sur- face as a fly papek is of flies. Prof. Blydenburg “estimates the number of barrels of oil inithis lake at 15,000. Mr. Murphy ;thinks that the daily loss of il in wells and Jakes bi’ evapo- ration is fully three barrels. Much of the oil that findj its way to the surface from well No. 2 trickles down an em- bankment and op to the surface of the river and is thue carried off.™ He Found 1 npathetic. Merchant Teavidl r: “There is at least one thing that [ can say in your favor,” said his wife’s mother, “and that is you're a gredt deal more atten- tive to the seriptures than you used to be.

CAPITAL IS DRIVEN AWAY Reputable Men All Leaving the Liquor Trafllc to the “Bootleggers' —Sensible People Beginning to Open Their Eyes. Prohibition’s Blighr. I stopped between trains at a thriv- ing town called Creston,on the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney railroad, between Burlington and Omaha, writes aspecial correspondent of the Cincinnati En- quirer. It was my pleasure to meat Mayor Patterson, the demoeratic mayor. He is going to enforce the laws of the state of Iowa. He said there are in this place seventy-five men who hold a United States license to sell liquor under the prohibition laws of the state of Towa. “Our population is about eight thou- sand. Wo call these fellows ‘boot- leggers.” They even carry a bottle of whisky in their boot and take a man into an alley and sell him a drink out of it,and they have a United States government license to do it. Before vrohibition we had about forty saloons that paid a license of about 816,000, which went into our municipal treasury, and was used in improving our streets. We now have double the num- ber of men cl:f‘ll[z‘cfl in the liquor traffic, and they pay no license and no tax, and I propose that this class of men shall be compelled to stop their illegal trafic in the liquor business. After thelaw has been en- forced, which prohibits the sale of in- toxicating liquors in any shape, form or manner in the state of Iowa, if there are any reptuable men, who wish to en- gage in the traffic, it is barely possibie that I may wink at it and permit them to do business openly, but I am against this sneak business, which enables men without any character or property re- sponsibilities to scrape together a few dollars, pay a _government license and buy a jug of whisky and enter surrepti- tiously into the saloon business and es- cape paying any tax or revenue to the state or city. “This kind of business has a very demoralizing effect on society. The so- cailed prohibition laws in Towa have not prevented the sale of intoxicating liquors. About all that has been ac- complished has been to drive every reputable and_responsible man out of the business who has been engaged in it and turn it over to the most hardened and disreputable men, who have no morals and no pro&mrby, and who do not care what they sell.” “Since talking to Mayor Patterson he has succeeded in doing what he said he would, and the “*boot-leggers” are having trouble in his jurisdiction. DESTROYING PROPERTY. Millions of dollars’ worth of property have either been placed in_jeopardy by the rabid and unreasonable enforce- ment of the prohibitory laws, or driven out of the state altogether. The goods of wholesale houses were rvecently seized at Burlington,and many tanatics and crazy papers have been urging the destruction of the entire stock. The Custom Gazette has this to say of this case: ‘*After seizingabout two hundred bar- rels of liquors in Burlington the people and papers are discussing whether the stuff shall be destroyed. = The liquors taken from Deluhaye & Purdy are, per- haps, worth $10,000, and its destruction would bankrupt the firm. It is true they have defied the law. and deserve some punishment, but one reason of their delay in taking their stock out of the state was the hope that the legisla- ture would, if an extra session should be colied,authorize the wholsale dealers in Towa to sell to Towa dealers for legal purposes. It is somewhat difficult to find arguments against pormitting wholesale houses in Towa. The law authorizes the sale of liquors for certain purposes ail. and then probibits anyone from selling to these retailers. The effect is that our retailers are com- pelled to go into other states to buy their liquors at wholesale. Delahave & Purdy made a strong effort at Des Moines last winter to have the law amended so as to permit them to sell to author] rotail dealers. “We say enforce the law,but in doing 80 cause as little loss of capital as possi- ble. The destruction of Delahave & Purdy’s liquor would not lessen the amount of liguors that would be sold, for there are now in the United States over one hundred million gallons to take its place. If thoy will take the stuff out of the state and guit the busi- ness till the luw wiil permit them to re- turn with it, we say let ti A GETTING THEIR EY The alarm that capital has taken and the way it is leaving the state to the great detriment and injury of its prosperity and devel- opment, has brought many people to their senses: The people of this country cannot af- ford to practice wrong or injustice. There are certain principles of right which are as eterdal as the everlasting hills, If they are violated the rosult will be a train of evils to be felt for all time. The svizure and condemnation of propevty of citizens under the prohi- bition laws was contrary to justice and right. It was simply the spoilation of the weak by the strong. It has been allowed in a special line of cases, and wheve it will stop no man can say. The Des Moines Register, which is proba- bly as much to-bla me for arousing this destrective and fanatic spirit in the people us all other agencies, now says this of the course pursued: “We are convinced now that in fight- ing for prohibition sufficient attention was not paidto the rights of property- owners injured by the prohibition law. The wonder is now that a stronger coh- test was not made on thatline, If it had been, and the sense of fair play of the Towa' people appealed to, we believe that those whose property was destroyed would have been given at least partial compensation. now too late to amend the inju », and yet we b liev if ever prohibition shall fail in Io failing to secure the ap- proval of succeeding generations, the plant of such distrust and repudiation will have largely sprung from a return- ing sense of fair play that such a revo- lution should unot have been accom- plished without compensation to the people and ecitizens who, un- der sanction of the law, had established properties 1nthis state for the manufacture of liquors. For our part.we begin to feel that the education of ilie people of Towa,then, in disregard of the rights of the property owners,has much to do with the disregard on the part of many people as to the fair rights of railrosd properties now. *“This adwission of the injustice of the hasty proceedings under the prohi- bition luws, in many cases, produces ounly the sickening sensation that fol- lows the aunouncement that the wrong wan has been hanged, The Register says: “The wonder now is that a stronger contest was not mado.’ Of what uso was a stronger contest? The courts were packed with a lot of light-weight and superficial lawyers, elected by a political party which held them to striot account for their decisions in liquor cases. If a judge happened to be a lawyer #0 at- tached to the fundamental principles of iusuco and so geounded and educated n the law that he could not be made a tool of by the fanatical eloment who watchod his actions, he hud to quit the bench. That was the kind of fight that was carried on under the prohibition and confiscation laws of Towa. The Rogister says: ‘Ttis now too late to amend the injustice.” Oh, no, it is not! It is not too late to again assert the old and well-founded principles of right and liberty which have ‘\m‘n forcibly throttled = by the unthinking and fanatical bigots of Towa. Thoses prin- ciples are stronger than majorities, and will live as bright as diamonds, though they have been buried in rubbish.” HE SOURED ON THE WORLD. The Strange Story of a San Recluse. Under the shadow of a beetling ecliff that overhangs the southern shore of the Golden Gate stands a little shanty not moroe than ten fect square, but built to endure against the eternal trade winds coming in from the Pacific ocean, says the San Francisco Bxaminer. Its unassuming exterior and general mis- erable appearance are in a measure compensated for by its very romantic location. To a casual observer itisa fishing hut or some kind of signal sta- tion; but looks are often deceitful, and the truth of such adage comes forcibly to the mind when the observant one is told a family of three have lived a strango existonce in this lonely spot— an existence that still has much of its whilom romantic association. Old Ned Flynn, the lord and master of this woather-beaten once wealthy, and figured in mining and stock 3 pioneers were in But reverses came, and he dropped out of the race for wealth in which the “honanza” men were so_ suc His hoard, that accumulated more rap- idly than he ever dreamed of beforo he camo from HKis home in New York to California in search of gold, vanished just as quickly as it had rolled 1 upon him. He returned to his old trade of machinist and worked for years in city shops. Gradually his misfortune preyed upon his mind until at last he soured on the world and became a recluse from his fellows, settling in a place where he could be far away [rom men, with whom he was compelled to work a por- tion of his time to keep body and soul together and support a son and t1augh- ter. It was then he selected this wild, romantic location for his hermit home beside the sea. Before the Powell Street Railway company ran its line around the hills and crags of the Golden Gate Ned Flynn was seldom troubled by the sight of human face near his habitation, and like Robinson Crusoe, he felt asif he were master of all he surveyed. Now, however, the picturesque place is daily visited by sightseers, and also by art students, who sketch in the bright sun- shine and study rocks and sea or paint the little house,unmindful of its history. The trains stop above it ata station appropriately named Fair View, and a pathway leads. steaggling through a serubby brushwood, to the beach. A short distance east of the station is Ned Flynn’s shanty, which can be zen from the cars as the train passes the second curve between Point Lobos and the tunnel. Just where the surf rolis in angrily through great rocks and breaks on a white, sandy cove the old man built a hut of driftwood and loose rocks about four years ago. He lived rent free outside the tide limits during the summer season, but the wintry waves washed his crude structure away. Adolph Sutrothen gave the hermit the “rancisco present shanty, charging him $1 a month as sccurity against squatter’s claim. Flynn says he is better off alone thai in the cit) He has free spring wi rippling by his door, more driftswood in the canon than he can burn, room for domesiic fowl on the sand and a good fishing ground. It is a very striking and incongruous contrast to see the fowls beside the surf, it keeps up a continual boom in the caverns through the cliff. Ned did not do much work until the railroad gave him employment on the track. At times only would he go down town to earn some money in the foundries, and then necessity compelled him, A year ago his doughter, a young woman of about twenty years of age, went to live with him and her brother in this ill-suited abode, where she died last month from hasty con- sumption. **She used to wander around here all day.” said a conductor on the CLiff road, “and never had any girls como to The poor girl had a lonely before she died. Itis just as well herself she is gone. “She was uot strong by any means when she left her work to lie down there,” he continued, pointing toward the little shanty. “‘But, I guess, it was enough to kill her. “For a long time none of us saw her, and then some women from Point Lobos road went down there overy day and nursed the poor thing for months. *The women say her death was as sad and lonely a scenc as ever any one im- agined. They buried her quite decently in the cemetery over the hill, but the funeral was indeea an affecting sight. “There is no road or any kind of level pathway from the shanty. so they had to carry her coffin up the trail and through the rocks and sand dunes as best they could, resting iv here and thero in the brush as they climbed the canon, “The old man told me he built the fog siren across at Point Bonito when he was a machinist, I know its dismal voice used to blow pretty regularly across the Golden Gate when his girl was dying. Some of the boys say it was blowing when she was laid in her grave, like a funeral knell, +0ld Plynn is more distant and lone- some now than before his daughter died, and has less to ss to any of us. ife for Once in a while he forgets things and takes on at a great rate. He is working with_his son in the Fremch cemetery now."” His young daughter is also there, but she is under the sod. They keep ber grave green. e Why His Stomach Hurt Him.
