THE MURDERED LITTLE ONES It is Said That Suspicion is Shifted From the Parents. FRANK BODWELL IS IN MAINE. A Pop Beer Machifie Goes Off—Im- provements in Nebraska Towns ~A Cigarette Smoker In- sane—News and Notes The Leavitt Murder Mystery. Gresuam, Neb, June 10.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bzr |—The mystory in the Leavitt murder case only deepens with time. This afternoon, vhe deputy sheriff, who has the investigation in charge, said: ‘I don’t know what to do next. Iam totully lost, so far ns any clue as to who committed this murder is corcorned.” This morning, the coroner’s jury was re- called, and has been in session most of the day, engaged n a deeper scarch than over around the premises for new evidence. There is rumor after rumor, but nothing has been doveloped. Late in the afternoon, the deputy shoriff had one of his sworn assist- ants announce to the surgingcrowd of people that there was nothitg found to confirm the suspicion which had rested upon the parents of the girls, and that the jury was satisfied that they were Innocont. However, it was evident that there was an undercurrent of feeling against them, and it was feared thav ‘violence might be done 1f they were loft un- guarded during the night. They even ex- pressod this fear themselves, and after their return from the funoral of their unfortunate children, Deputy Sheriff Murphy took them to Seward for safe keeping. There is no cessation of the crowds of peo- ple, who still come to the scene of the crime from far and noar. Every foot of ground for more vhan a mile in every direction from the. house was gone over, to-day, and nothing re- vealed, except some tracks which led down from the house into a draw. and thence nlong the dividing line between a corn and an oat field. In many places they wereso far apart. that it was evident that the man who made them was running. They were followed until they came to where a man had been plowing during the day, and there all traco of them lost. There are still many of Lea- witts neighbors, who, perhaps for want of ‘wny good evidence, strongly believe that tho parents are the guilty parties, notwithstand- ing that the Jury and that the oicers who are working up the case have exonerated them so far as any evidence obtained is con- ‘cerned. A dispatch from Alfred, one of the county seats of York, Maine, says that Frank Bod- well, son-in-law of the Leavitts, whose name Thas been connected with the murder of the children, and who is said to have threatened vengeanco because Leavitt turned him over to the police, is in Maine. The dispatch s from the county jailer, who @ives assurance that Bodwell is in Springvale, Me., “‘has not been under arrest,” and has not been away since his return from Nebraska.

Exercises of the A. O. U. W. at Wash- ington Hall, The memoriul service of the A. O. U. W. at Washington hall, last night, was an es- pecially interesting affair. The hall was handsomely and appropriately decorated with flowers for the occasion, promineat among the floral tributes being pillows of whito rosos with the names of ‘“‘Lenhart” and “McClure,” in whose honor the service was held. The programme was opened by the rendi- tion of a dirge by the Union Pacific band. Rev. W. W. Wilson, supreme overseer, led the devotional exercises. C. M. Masters, 8. M, W., presided. Josoph C. Smith, P, G. W. M., of Pennsyl- vania, read a biographical sketch of Joseph H. Lenbart, P. G. M. W. and supremo re- ceiverof the A.O. U. W. Mr. Lenhart was an enthusiastic worker in the order, which he joined in 1870, when the number of wem- bers was less than 800. He arose to the posi- tion of grand master workman and was for two terms supreme receiver of the order and was serving in thav capacity when he died. He was a business man of unusualability and ccess. He died at Meadville, Pa., In his sixty-ninth year. The first eulogy upon Mr. Lenhart was pronounced by S. A. Kiine, P.G. M. W. of Pennsylvania. Inall of the conquests of man oyer thy elements, he smd, the mysteries of Life are still unexplained. We are but a link in the endless chain of time. We can not look be- yond our own lives. Millions of men have lived and passed from tho earth, leaving no trace. Yet many men have so lived that their lives have been a source of happiness and their memories a pleasure to their fel- low So it was with the decased. He lived, loved, labored and died. But more, he hved for a purpose, he loved and was true to his fellow men, he labored not only for himself but for others, and the world is better for his having lived. Judge John Frizzell, P. S. W.M., con- tinued the tribute to the memory of the lato supreme recewver. He remembered Mr, Lenhart as always enthusiastic and punctual in the work of the order. He had opinions and always expressed them freely and fear- lessly, yet respectfully. He always worked for the promotion of the best interests of the order, and discharged his duties with fidelity and promptoess. As an individual he had a purpose in life, and that seemed to be o do good in the world. He was a devoted hus- band, a loving father and a faithful friend. Mrs. W. D. Gilbert, of Atchison, Kan., rendered a charming vocal solo, ‘‘Hannah'’s at the Window Mending Shoes,” in a fault- less manner. The eulogy upon Mr. Lenhart was con- cluded by an eloquent trioute by C. M. Bousch, P. G. M. W., of Peunsylvania. Wiiliam H. Barnes, P. G. M. W., of Cali- fornia, gave a sketch of the busy life of David MecClure, P. G. M. W., of California. The deceased was home in Ohio in 1843 and went to California at the age of thirteen, After a few years in school he roamed over the west as a miner, then studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1869 and then removed to Chicago but returned to California after the Chicago fire. He was prominent in law and politics, having served as representative and senator of the California legislature. His death was caused by grief over the msanity of his wife, who lost her reason in_her efforts to share all his labors in his worit as the busiest lawyer in San Franeisco. The eulogy om Mr, McClure was pro- nounced by Mr. Alfred Orensdorf, P. G. M. W., of Illinois, He said, in substance: All bow in reverence and pay a tribute to the departed dead, but Iilinois has a special interest in the name and fame of David Mc- Clure. His cradle was roeked 1n alog cabin, in the shade of the sycamores of the Wa- basb; he died in sight of the placid Pacific. In his career from poverty to affluence, honor was his motto and truth was his com- panion. He was & manly, large-hearted man. In him brain and heart were properly combined. He was aleader among men, and rose to the highest station in every order to which he belonged. His dying words were, “Mother, wife und heaven,” the grandest words in humanity’s lexicon.

These people took the plate murror and iron elevators on the first floor and ascending almost with the celerity of thought reachod the seventh floor. They followed the broad tiled corridors, into the ante-room and thenee into tho editorial hallway where were found courteous attaches by whom they were shown the principal features of the structure. The editorial rooms were ablaze with elec: tric light, the walls were white ‘as ' marble, and in keoping with the wood work in the room. 1t was a sight which could not but evoke admiration. The elegance of the appointments, the symmetry of the design, the ample proportions of every apartment the abundance of Jight, artificial aud natural, evoked universal com: mendation. Past the editorial vooms, tho visitors filed into the news room, where hundreds of elec- tric lights iluminated the scenc. There, the click of type, as it was placed by deft fingers so that it may tell the. story of the world 1n this day’'s Bes, attracted their at- tention. With them the wonder grow that there was so much of interesy and novelty in a great newspaper office. Thence into the stereotyping room, where are mado the plates from which Tie Bex is printed, the line proceeded, the interest. being more intensely displayed in a process which to many was entirely unfawiliar, Thence to the court, which in the light shed within it loomed up’ grand, solemn and im- pressive. Ladies lingered at the opening and gazed upon it in rapture, their minds, no doubt, in many cases nt least, reveriing to similar halls so beautifully described by the genial and gifted author of Alhambra. ‘Thence to the engines, boilers and dyna- mos and the press rooms ' in the cellar and sub-basement, the crowd followed, only to have rapture changed to amazement that one-half of the power. wealth and ingenuity there displayed should be required, and at the same time be so perfectly at the control of human beings. Ascending to the elavator floor, the visit- ors dispersed with the eighteenth anniver- sary of the organization of Tue Bre indeli- bly stamped upon their minds. Banquet to the Pross. The banquet to the press and ex-newspaper men took place in the counting room. The tabies were spread inside the beau- tiful marble counters, extending almost the entire length of the spacious apartment. After they had been pronounced perfect by the caterers, Messrs. Schlank & Prince, they presented a most attractive appearance, 'he chandeliers glowed with the soft radi- ance of an hundred electric lights, which redched the tables through garlands of smi- lax, with which the bronze arms were hung. Along the miadle of the table was extended & row of flower clusters in seemingly endless variety, Among them were most rare plants, donated by private friends. Either side of the board was aglistening line of crystal gob- .ots and glasses,intermingled with dainty bou- tonnieres which tastefully surmounted the ridge of the triangular menucard. In truth, & more beautiful table, on a public occasion, cannot be recalled in the history of many years in Omaha. That nothing might be lef undone te cater to the pleasure of the guests, whose presence had been solicited, the Musical Union discoursed its choicest overtures in a mwasterly manner under the leadership of Harry Irvine. The charm of the sweet sounds, in the remarkable court of the buiiding rose and fell with a gentleness and force which was almost entransing.

Merely Acknowledged His Name and Former Residence. ‘WiNNiPRG, Manitobs, June 19.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre.|—Burke has made no confession except his ackmowledgment that he is Martin Burke, and that he had lived in Chicago and know Cronin. He is walting impatiently for the arrival of the Chicago oficars, who will be in town to-mor- row afternoon. At the request of Superin- tendent Hubbard, of the Chicago volice, Chief Murray has taken the prisoner out and bad him photographed. Burke objectod most strongly and tried to argue the question with the chief all the way to the gallery. When he was being photographed, Burke moved a number of times spoil- ing several vlates. The photographer finally succoeded in getting a shot at him and vrocured an excellent likeness Arrangements have been made here by Chief Justice Taylor to have Burke's case argued before one of the best judges on the bench. A magisteate has no jurisdiction in a case of extradition, so Burke must go before a queen’s bench judge. He is in constant communication with his lawyer, and 1s pre- paring to fight the case, and to resist extra- dition. Tt is likely that the best legal talent in the city will be employed in the interest of the prisoner. It has been quietly intimated that money will be furnished in Burke's behalf. Burke himself has given this im- The intention is to bring the case atter the arrival of the Chicago es. : BURKE Indicted by the Grand Jury. Cnreaco, June 19.—An indictment was re- turned by the grand jury this morning against Martin Burke, alias Delaney, on two counts, the first for the murder of Dr. Cronin; the sccond _for in connection with P, Coughlin and . Woodrull. Application was made at ‘dnce to Governor Fifer by an officer Wwho is now in Springfieid for requisition pupars for the extradition of Burke. These papers, properly attested, will be spread before, the state department at Washington and e secretary of state will make a formal rpquest to the Canadian government for the surrender and extradi- tion of the prisoner. ‘The testimony of . Michael Gavin, of the Chicago sewer department, who had known Burke, was very conclusive and it was upon his evidence that the indictment was re- turned. Gavin testified that ho had known Burke for a logg time; that he had frequently heard the latter boagt of his friendship with P. O’Sullivan ang,others of the suspected persons, and that on'éne oceasion Burke had expressed his conyigtion that Cronin was an enemy 1f not a traifon to the Irish cause. The men sent to, New York for the pur- pose of identifying, if, possible, the suspects, Moroney and Mc’l‘)odal\L returned to-day. Expressman Martegs was taken before the grand jury, where he identified the photo- graph of Burke, the man now under arrest in Winnipeg, as that of the man who hired him to haul furniture from 117 Clark street to the Carlson cottage. It was announced this afternoon that no more indictments will be returned until the jury is prepared to make its final report, and that Burke was indicted only on the united plea of Chief Hubbard and States Attorney Longenecker, who represented that the indictmeot would save time in securing his extradition. Chief Hubbard pins his faith implicitly to the Burke theory, which he confidently believes will lead to the detection and econviction of every one connected with the case. Express- man’ Eartin's identification of Burke’s photo- graph gives color to the belief that the volice are at last upon the right track. Justico Mahoney was brought before the grand jury this afternoon and testifled that O'Sullivan and Cronin were acquainted when they met 1n his oBiice to make the con- tract for medical attendance to_O'Sullivan’s employes, ana that no introduction on his part was needed, as averred by O’Suilivan. A numben of other witnesses were exawined, Foing over a deal of the same ground cov— ered before. c o Still Another Story. New Yorx, June 19.—|Special Telogram to Tur Bee.]—Carl Nordlander, an intelli- gent young Swede, called at the oftice of the Times last night and made a statement in which he declares that Charles McDonuld, one of tho men liberated on habeas corpus by Judge Andrews Monday, was one of a trio who tried to induce him to take a letter to Dr. Cronin from the Polk street railroad station in Chicago on the evening of April 13, just three weeks before Cronin was mur- dered. Nordlander was waiting for the train 1o take him to New York, and refused to take the letter. The men then offered to buy him a new ticket if he missed the train, his ticket being limited, but he thought they were bunko men and refused. Nordlander has been confined to his room by a sprain, Judge Andrews discharged the men because no competent testimony was adduced con- necting them in any way with the Cronin case and they were not identified. Nord- lander’s story has been placed in the hands of Inspector Byrnes. A New Cronin Suspect, CnicaGo, June 19.—An entirely new Cronin suspect is being looked for to-night. His name is Michael Cooney, and he has an odd sobriquet—*“The ¥Fox.” Cooney and Burke are claimed to be the two men who actually killed Cronin. Both are Clan-na-Gael | men, members of camp 20. Cooney is a bricklayer by trade, and likq Burke came here from Ireland ouly 4 few ye number in camp 20 ‘was " 108, Each is describe matters, and as purticularly bitter regarding the British spy.sy§tem, According to the best informatign . obtainable, to-nigh little hope Wis "to entertained of the arrest of - Cooney immediately, if atall. There wi & feeling, apparently, that he had been given too loug a start, and was already in some safe retreat. States Attor- ney Longenecker. sjlowed it to be inferred that he has two, | Wituesses who will swear that Cooney and Burke slept in the Carlson cottage several \Afip prior to the tragedy, and even that th6 Lwo suspeols were secn leaving the cottage on the fatal night of May 4 at 11:80 p,u. .

How a Boston Rat Utilized His Tail, A waitor at the Metropolitan hotel on Washington street, accordiug to the Boston Globe, says there is a rat of unusual intelligence which haunts the hotel kitchen, and, when ocgasion offers, steals food from the cook. He says this rat ought to be caught and exhibited as a marvel at the dime museums. Several stories of sagacity are told about this rodent, of which the foilowing is one: “A few evenings ago,” said the waiter, *'I had occasion to go down into the kitchen, It was dusky when I arvived, and as soon as my eyos would permit me to get used to the light I saw a large rat walk deliberately up to a dish of doughnuts and begin to take them out one by one and string them on his tail, as you would string beads. ‘When he had put on five and loaded his tail alt up he turned around, took the end of his tail between his teeth, and walked off as if he were going to muster,” —— Changed Places.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, IxpranaroLs, Ind., Feb. 15, 150, 20 the Suprine Judge, Officers and Members of the Supreme Sitting, and all Membzrs of the Order of the Hall, Greeting: Friexps—Your Finance Committee have made a thorough and careful examination of all the Dbooks, youchers, documents and accounts, which inclnded bills and vouchers of the Supreme Jus- tice, Supreme Accountant and Supreme Cashier for the year ending December 81, 188, and can verity the reports hereto annexed, and submitted to us by the above-named officers as being cor rect. The office work for the past year has heen of immense maznitude, owing to the rapid increase of membership and general prosperity of the Order, and it is most gratifying to the/Committee to beable to state that the officers have kept thelr work promptly up, and everything in & Lusiness like and proper manner. Tne clerical expanses of the management of the Order have besn kept as low as consistent with effective work, and the clerks employed are paid but moderate salarios Wo find sixteen clerks employed from eight to six o'clock, all actively engiged in their respective duties. In the yaults of the offices we found all papers and vouchers systematically and safoly - ranged and secured, and the Supply Hoom containad the supplies as stated by the Supreme Trus tees to be on hand, We reiterate the statement in our last leport tnac the good judgment of tho Supreme Officers be commended in securing the beadquarters of the Ordar inso central and prom. inent a location, and inasmuch as the growth of the Oraer demands an incr fucilities in the handling of its business, we suggest to the Eoxecutive Committo und Suprems Trustees thit they authorize the erection of an additional building on the vacant lot aajolning the Home Office (and now belonging to the Order), as the property 13 rapldly increasing in value, sna ho no-es sity of additional room seems upparent to your Committeo. BICK CLAIMS, We find upon examination of the “Sick Claim Department,” that all claims properly approved are patd with promptness. When claims are delayed at the Home Office, it 15 owing genoraliy to the want of additional proof required by the Supreme Medical Director, and n many cises slck claims are gent to the Home Office irregularly made out by the ollicers of the Local Branches, and have to be returned for correction, which causes u delay in their paymont. All ciuims in proper shape, are, by our personal knowledge (obtained fron the books of the oftice), puid within twentys five days after belng received, EXPENSES. The general expenses of the Order for the past year have only boen $48,421.08, of which 14,034 have been expended in legal expenses, showing actual business oxpenses to have been only £4. 1n reforring to the above statement as to expenses of the Order, wo would call the attention of the members to the well-known fact that the Order has been forced luto expensive liugation in soveral States in its defense, which necessarily called for heavy outlays, Notwithstanding this, the expenses of the Order, we find iu comparison with other Fratarnal Orders, have been much loss than any of thew, thus showing that this Order is succossfull properly und economically managed; aud we congratulate the membars on its manageumont, whic has placed 16 as the leading Benoficlal Fraternity of the day, 2 Whilst the Supreme Justice has been actively at work ia the field, coastantly travell ng fro one end of the country to the other, &s occasion required. and solely i tho fatarast of the Order the bills, a5 presented by him, show only an outlay of expenses of 824185, which fncludes car fare, hotel expenses, telegraphing, postage, ete., which wo think 18 extromely moderate, This amount has been verified by the Committes by itemized accounts kept by the Supreme Justice, and now on file in the office of the Supreme Accountant. The Committes would further state that, while they found the accounts of tho Supreme Ac= countant and Bupreme Cashier corract as statod, the cash balances on hand were fully verifled us by the reports from the banks where sald monoy wis deposited, FINAL BENEFITS, We have examined all Final Bonefit Claims, and stato that all payments have been regularly made 1n accordance with the constitution and Laws of the Order, und all Relief Fund Certificates Lave beea properly indorsed, either by the beneficiary or legal helrs. In conclusion, your Committee congratulate the wembership everywhere,on the present pros- perous condition ¢1his grand fraternity. Every just claim bas been promptly pa‘d and overy obligation has been met. Jrom the best intormation obtalnable at the office, afl suits now pend- ing in several of the states, upon questions of legality similar 1o those which have been 50 suc- cossfully met in Missouri and Massachusetts, will result in signal victory to the Order, We can state to the membership that these matters are kept to the front, and that no advantage can bo taken of the Order's interest by those designing its defeat, We commend the attention given to these matters, and feel assurod in guarautecing that the order will make greater strides in progress than ever before.
