Bigis, Nob., June 22.—|Special Telegram to The Bee.]-Yesterday Mrs, Pomeroy Clarke, the victim of Nicholas Foley, was in- terred. The funeral was an exceeding large one and the feeling, which has been intense against the flend who perpetrated the atro- cious deed, was increased tenfold. A large number of people attended the services held at the church, and those who could not get in wero free to oxpress their feelings as to the disposition of Foley. It was known that he had been captured at Burwell, and was on his way to Neligh. Shortly after the funeral services the veople began to organize themselves for ‘work, and about dark a large number of men dispersed in different directions, to circum- wvent the official who had Foley in charge. The authorities in Neligh led the people to believe that Foley would come in on the train from the cast, but the men refused to believe that such would be the case. About 10 o’clock at night o mes- seoger brought word that Foley was at Petersburg, in the hands of Deputy Sherift Beckwith, and that he was going to leave in the night for Oakdale. Scouts were immedi- ately sent in all directions, and at midnight another horseman brought further informa- tion. About 5 o'clock i the morning another messenger came with the news that Beck- ‘with started out on foot with Foley about 11 o'clock, and he was located about four miles east of Elgin at the house of a personal friend of the sheriff named A. H. Palmer. Palmer promised to couceal him until the next night. They were placed in a room up stairs and the prisoner immediately lay down onthe floor and went to ‘'sleep. Though greatly exhausted, Beckwith stood watch over his prisoner. Beckwith was so tired out that the prisoner noticed it,. and several times suggested that they might as well turn in first as last, as the mob was sure to get him anyway. The two must have been followed from Petersburg or been observed on the route, for soon the crowd began to gather, Demands were made on the oficer for the prisoner, but were refused, and the crowd outside, ‘while strong enough to prevent_an escape, aid not feel Like forcing an entrance, as Beckwith is a powerful man, and they all " knew him to have an unlimited amount of courage and determination. By 0 o'clock in the forenoon the crowd outside numbered fully one hundred and fifty. Four of their number wore sent in to have a talk with Beckwith, who still refused to give up the prisoner. Hewarned them to keep back and not come too near. One of them attracted the officer's attention for an instant, and quicker than a flash four strong arms were upon him. Though a powerful man the odds were too great, and Beckwith was overpowered and disarmed. Foley, who had hitherto kept a bold front, now broke down, sobbing and pleading for mercy, but there was no mercy in that crowd., He was dragged downstairs, placed in a wagon and driven to a bridge about three huudred yards distant. A strong guard was placed over Beckwith, who was forbidden to leave the house. At the bridge Foley’s arms were pinioned, the rope, with a regulation hangman’s knot, adjusted, and the prisoner compelied to jump off the bridge. His neck was broken by the fall, A horrid expression sottled upon the dead man’s face, and a visage that in his lifetime had been anything but pleasant to look upon, now was repulsive. As soon as the crowd was assured that he was dead they dispersed. The news spread rapidly and all day long people have been flocking to the scene and hundreds have wviewed the body as it was swung to and fro by the wind. Foley still wore the officer's hand-cuffs, and his bat remained upoo his head. The coroner did not arrive until about 5 o'clock, and until that time the body was let hanging where the avengers had leftit. A jury was empaneled and the following ver- dict rendered : “We find that Nicholas Foley came to his doath from hanging by parties unknown.” Foley was unmarried and had no relatives living around here. He has a mother and brother in Wisconsin, where he was raised. He could not get along with his parents, and came west to do for himself. He is well ac- quainted around here, having lived here tor several years. The deed he did was a sur- prisv to the people. The details of his capture are as follows: Just as soon as the discovery was made of the shooting Mr. Riggs, the father of Mrs. Clarke, ran across to one of the neighbor’s, who immediately rode down to the telegraph office at Elgin, Dispatches were sent in every dwrection and all points east, west, north and south were covered. Among the first telo- grams that left was oue for Ericson, in Wheeler county, Shortly after noon a dis- pateh was recelved from that place stating that & man answering the description bad passed through there a short time before on his way to Ord, Dispatehos were immed- fately sent to Ord and also to Burwell, and Ericson to send out a posse at ouce, as he was in that country, As soon as the dis- patch reached Ericson two men left there armed with shotguus and between there and Burwoll overtook the fugitive and arrested him. He was taken to Durwell and there kept until the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Beckwith, of Antelope county. From the time of the shooting up to his arrest not more than sixteen hours elupsed. He took away with him one of the fleetest horses in this part of the country, and it he had got beyoud the Line of wires in the western por- tlon of the state his capture would have ‘beeu very uncertain. After the arrival of Bheriff Bcokwith at Burwell be left soon After with bis man for Neligh, aud us every point was so closely watched it was almost impossible for the sheriff to jail his man without encountering one of the numerous scouts who were out around the country. Deputy Sherift Beckwith 18 now at his home in Oakdale, completely exhausted by 10ss of sloop, continuous riding and excite- ment, He informed your correspondent that during the trip over, Foley did not have much to say about the ¢: ae, further than to admit that he committed it, but that he in- tended to kill Mrs. Clark’s sister. He ex- pocted to bo hung, but did not appear to care anything about that until he found the end 80 near, when he broke down combletely. He said that when ho first borrowed the re- volver he intended to kill himself, but, on deliberation, concluded that would not worry the girl or her relavives, and he concluded to kill them instead. Mr. Clark is not so well to-day. Some sigus of inflammation have been noticed, but it is stili believed he will recover. The Leavitt Double Murder. Gresnay, Neb,, June 22.—~[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—There are no new de- velopments in the Leavitt murder case. The special grand jury, at Seward, is likely to sit in the case for many days vet. A half dozen more witnesses were subpanaed here to-day and taken to Seward, the county seat, to ap- pear before the questioning jurors. A brother of John Leavitt, Mr. George Leavitt, of Lincoln, was in Gresham to-day. He has the appearance of an intelligent gentleman, ana tulked quite willingly to Tur Beg representa- tive when approached on the subject: 41 first heard of the murder,” said he, ‘‘on Tuesday evening through the newspapers.” What is your idea of the affair?” “Really, T do not know what to think. It is a sad affair, indeed. [ came to Seward yesterday morning on the freight, and I found a great many people from the com- munity in which my brother lives. I used to live within a half-mile of my brother’s place, but a little more than a year ago sold my farm and moved to Lincoln, and have never been back here until now. Yes, I understand that the parents are suspicioned of having committed the murder, but every theory advanced toward throwing it onto them has fallen to the ground.” “Is it true that John Leavitt's wife has at times not had her right mind " “Yes, T guess it is. She has had a good deal of trouble. In the year 1880 the diph— theria was bad in this comwmunity, and I lost two of my children with it. The same dis- ease took three children from my brother’s family, and left Bessie, the aldest of the murdered girls, a criple tor life. She has never since had good use of either limb on the right side. Out of fourteen children of which she is the mother, there are only five now living.” Referring to the strange conduct of Mrs, John Leavitt, over the death of her children, and especially at the funeral, George Leavitt said: “My brother’s wife has as deep an affec- tion for her children as any woman, but she is very pecubar. No one who has an ac- quaintance with her would use that or any basis for suspicion thatshe murdered her own children. I have no doubt at all but that the parents of those dead children will be cleared, for there is no foundation for an indictment against them. There was no ground on which to arrest them after the coroner’s jury had brought in the verdict that they did. They have been released and are now in Seward only to testify before the grand jury, which is trying to obtam evi- dence that may bring to light the real mur- derer. That's all I know ubout the case at present. e GOJING OVER NIAGARA. Graham to Shoor tne Horse Shoe Falls in a Boat. N1aGARA Farss, N. Y., June 22.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—About the last of this month Carlisle D. Graham, the hero of several trips through the whirlpool rapids, will go over the horse shoe falls, which rush overa 200 foot precipice, with what little protection his new barrel boat can afford. The barrel boat is designed fora life boat its inventor says it is entirely different, except in name, from the craft in which he went through the whiripool and devil's rap- 1ds. It is 11 feet long, 40 inches in diameter, looks a little like a torpedo with a break amidship, and has side wheels, steering ap- paratus and other appliances of a small fly- ing machine for aquatic use. The craft is cylindrical in shape and has three compart- ments, each of which is water tight. The center compartment is 43 inches long and 40 inches in diameter. Two persons could be squeezed into it on a pinch, but to work the side-wheels and steering apparatus satisfac. torily there is hardly more than room forone person. Euch of the other two compart- ments will easily carry two persons. The craft is strongly built of wel!-seasoned oak and cedar stave, and is bound with twenty- four iron bands. Instill water it would be as good as uny ordinary boat, except for lack of deck space. It can be propelled by the side-wheels from the inside, and the ma- chinery is so arranged that it is reversible. The boat is suficiently strong to withstand _the ordinary shocks of a rough voyage, but it is exwremely doubtful if it can escape being dashed to pieces either ou the rocks av the foot of the falls or elsewhere in tho gorge. e s AFFALIRS A’ JOHNSTOWN. Those Who Escaped D:ath Now Threatened by th: Tax Collector. JouNsTows, June 22.—Twenty-four of the postable houses from Chicago were assigned to the same number of the most destitute famlies here to-day. The county treasurer had notices posted to-day stating that he would be here July 3 for the purpose of col- lecting taxes. But little of tho property as- sessed can be found and the taxpayers left hero feel outraged at the posting of notices, many of which have been torn down and destroyed. Twenty bedies were recov- ered to-day, R. L. Johnston, judge of Cam- bria county, to-day issued an order closing all saloons and liquor places in Johnstown and surrounding boroughs and townships until otherwise ordered. Unless the order is strictly obeyed the court says the licenses of violutors will be revok Wanted For Many Crimes. Dosvque, Ta., June 22.—[Special Telogram to Tue Brr.)—For soveral months past ofi- cors have been looking for a smooth young man named McDonald, who has been repre- souting hiwself to be a traveling passenger agent for the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michi- gau railroad. By this means he has been forging annual passes and drafts on the com- pany, und secured. in some instances thou- sands of dollars. He turned up in Dubuque to-day and wied to work the assistant ticket agent at the Illinois Central station. The latter’s suspicions were aroused and he tele- grephed to the headquarters of the company for information. Word came back that Mo~ Donald was @ fraud, and requesting thut he be arrested. But he had just started for St, Paul. A telegram stopped him at North Me- Gregor, and be was brought back and jailed bere to-night. He is wuuted for several crimes, PROCESS OF SUPPLY. The Manner of Voting the British Government's Money. SOME PECULIAR PROCEEDINGS. How the House of Commons Acts on Financlal Questions. GROSS ABUSES SNEEZED AT. Members in Favor of Reform Desig- nated as Obstructioniste. THE SIDE WORK OF THE WHIP. Certain Speeches Suppressed and Others Printed—A Sad Commen- tary on the Methods of the English Press. Disposing of English Funds. [Copyright 18%9 by James Gordon Bennett. | Lospox, June 22.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.|—The process of voting away the nation’s money in tho house of commons is of a very curious nature as placed upon paper by the government, to the effect that “supply” will be taken in committes questions to a minister and pre- cede all other business, and while they are being put the house is probably fairly weil filled, pernaps crowded. There is always a chance for a scene, and anytbing of that kind is acceptable as lending a little variety to the proceedings. In the hue und cry after the Irish secretary or some other minister, it is very likely that one of the pursucrs gets upset, the minister scores at bis expense and cverybody is satisfled. It does not matter which side wins so'long as a little fun is pro- vided. The house of commons is the most impartial body 1n the world and, gives everybody fair bvlay. The only things it will not stand is bumptiousness conceit, side or swagger sentimentalism, or obvious insincerity. The house of commons may have some humbug 1n_it, but it will not be humbugged itself. ‘Well, then, after the questions the real business of the day begins. The clerk calls out “‘supply,” the speaker descends with dig- nity from the chair, and Mr. Courtney, chair- man of the committee, takes his seat at the table below. What happens next? The great body of members troops out of the house. They fly as fast as if the Prince of Wales' leper had suddenly taken his seat among them. While Courtney is reading the first vote on the list the house empties. When the rush is over there are perhaps fifteen or twenty members left, including the secretary and under secretary, one or both, who will be required to defend the vote. There are probably the gravest reasons why the vote should not pass. Its discussion affords the only opportunity which can occur all through the session of bringing to light some gross ubuse. There may bs very obvious mismanagement in some department of the government, or an official may have proyed himself totally iucompetent for his post. When the money for that department or that official is to be voted, then, and then only can lawful occasion be supplied Zor bringing out all the facts. Somebody, we will suppose, pnts himself to the trouble of bringing them out. He has taken great pains to make himself acquainted with the circumstances, He explains them carefully to the rows of deserted benches. The min- ister, conscious that his majority is waiting nambush outside, gets up, pooh-poohs the whole case, seizes adroitly on the weakest link in the chain of evidence, and twists and worries that; ridicules the idea that any- thing can bo wrong in his department, and sits down with an indignant outburst against the wickedness of attacking public servants who are not there to defend themselves, Official dementi 1s always blocked out on the same pattern, and what would be the use of changing it when it answers its purposes so well, no matter who presents it or wijat party is in power. Then comes the decision of the house, which has not heard either side. The minister smiles, for he knows that on the other side of tho door stand twe or three gentlemen known as “whips,” who will marshal their forces in the proper direction without explanation beig askea or given. Perhaps some member may inquire, apologetically : “What is this division about?” “Oh,” replies the whip, “that fellow Brown, Jones or Robinson is moving an amendment to the supply.” *Confound the fellow’s impudence. What does he want to obstruct like this for? What business has he to criticise the government— his own government? The fellow is nothing but a beastly radical in disguise.” Poor Brown or Joues is speedily done for. In the early part of Frinay afternoon, last, Mr. Montague, member for the Whitechapel division, brought forward a motion on the war office vote for throwing open @ certain part of the tower walk facing the river to the people. 1 do not enter into the merits of the question, but here is & fact illustrative of the discussion n supply. While Montague was speaking I counted the housa. There were just twenty of us pres- ent, including two members of the ministry. ‘The bells rung for division in a few minutes, for the numbers were made up to 2506, and the whole body proceeded without question to pronounce judgment of Montague's appeal, though 266 of them had not listened to a sin- gle word of it. “Aye,” say the ministers, but all discussion in supply is useless. It is always a waste of public time and it never leaves public money. Ideny these assertions that time is never wasted. I will not, indeed, undertake to prove it. But I am ready to prove beyond all shadow of doubt that much money has re- peatedly beon saved by these discussions; that many abuses have been exposed and corrected; that many officials have been brought to a proper sense of their duties. That is the position which can be most thor- oughly .established in the house or out of it, and n spite of the min- ister ot the exchequer, who had cond@mned all who discuss the supply as faddists and sentimentalists. The press takes up the cry, It is easy for any govern- ment to guide the course of the press on all questions relating to the business of the house, So the word is passed around to ridi- cule these discussions in supply. ‘‘Don’t re- port them. Denounce the members who get them up. They are either obstructignists or traitors. A traitor, in an official sense, is 4 man who will not always vote that black is white at the bidding of the ministry.” He has no right to exercise his private judgment. ‘fhe newspapers do not call hum a traitor,but they probably suppress his remarks in the bouse aud give the official reply to thew in full, and send the presWaptuo with a flea in his ear, On Tuesday last we phesed twenty-seven votes at one sitting almost without inquiry or disoussion. Thore had Previously been a vague and general talk It some of them, but no examination or afialysis of the expen- diture had been attempted. Tho amount in- volved in these twenty-seven votes was £17,148,300, There were only fifteen mem- bers present, while some of these voters were whisked through. Eight of them were passed in twenty minutes, Lot it be remem- bered that one of the most ancient and one of the highest constitutional privileges of the house of commons is to keep an absolute con- trol over the expenditures of the country. Had that power always been wisely and rig- orously exercised, you may depend upon it that we should not now be spending £00,000,- 000 a year and be obliged every now and then to vote away additional millions in a panic to patch up the navy or put rifles and bayonets in the hands of the army. The ministry calls last Tuesday’s performance in_every way satisfactory. 1_think the pub- 1T will take & difforent iew GF it when thoy come to understand it. The obsequious lackeys of the ministry go about saying that it is disgraceful to attadk the estimates and that the government right be left with a free haud to deal with publie money. Constit- uencies wiill come to an opposite conclusion. There 18 no hope of any reform in public ex- penditures until the peaple themselves show that they have had engugh waste and ox- travagance and that tBey are fully deter- mined to remove men af either party who help perpetrate these greatand scandalous evils, A MEMDER OF PARLIAMENT. RRRERS: "SI AN ASTHETIC ACTRESS. Maud Harrison Griws Enthusiastic Over London's Loveliness. [Copyright 1889 by Jamas Gordon Bennstt.) LoxnoN, June 22.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee.|—Miss Matd Harrison, the popular comedienne, is enthus- iastic over London, *‘Ob, I think London is just lovely,” she said yesterday. ‘‘The bustle of the streets. Why, I never saw anything like it before, And those great omnibuses! I think it is €0 nice to ride on top of them and see the sights. [ would much rather ride around in that democratic sort of way than in a carriage. I'm justlike a child here, going about witn my eyes wide open. There’'s so much to see that is new and strange to me.” TThis, and much more Iike it, Miss Harri- son said, and her manner and emphasis showed that she meant every word. Miss - Harrison came across on the City of Chester and has been m London only two or three days. Her mother and brother's wife and Miss Green- wald accompanied her. Mrs. Harrison, her mother, has been in poor health for some time and is now quite {ll. The party is now very cozily located at No. 4 Princess street, Hanover square. In ansfver to numerous questions, Miss Harrison said further: “This is my first visit'to this side of the Atlantic, and in fact is my first vacation since my debut under Mri A. M. Palmer that I have been free to-enjoy myself, and judging from the beginning I have made 1 shall have ever so much of it. My plans? Well, Iiutend on starting to spend about a montb in London, another in Paris, and theu make brief trips into Switserland and along the Rhine. Tam so charmed with London that I think I shall modify my plins some- what, %0 that I can make a longer stay here than I intended. I must go home about the end September, for I have & year’s contract to fill yet with Mr. Palmer. ' I have only begun my sightseeing here. We have visited the tower. What a very 1nteresting place it is. T was so delighted that I am going again next Tuesday. I intend a visit tosome of the gai- leries next week, and aftor that I shall go to Stratford on-Avon, and as many other places outside of London as my time will permit me to see. 1know Ishall enjoy myself every minute I am here, and I've aiready resolved to come every summer hereafter if I possibly can,” “You are hardly prepared to speak of the theaters?” ©Oh, no. Tve only seen one of them yet. ‘We went to the Lyceum last night, Irving kindly tendered me a box. What a wonder- ful production he gives. I was just en- raptuved. There is great pleasure n stora - for America when he goes there with it. The srrangement of the theater seemed strange to me, and the serv- ing of refreshments seem so odd. It secmed 80 funny to see people eating ices and drink- ing. In tho matter of regulating lights, and in several other particulars, the theaters here surpass ours very much. 1 think at least what T saw at the Lyceum impressed me that such is the case. I was delighted to find so many Americans doing so well in the theaters here. Iam proud of them, as every American ought to be. They deserve the popularity they have, and I am more than glad that the English people appreciate them. Iam a thorough American, and shall never be wearied of being one. I know 1 could enjoy @ visit here every year im- mensely, but I am sure I never could be con- tent with any home but New York.” It is rumored that Mr. Henry Wolcott, of Denver, brotber of Senator Wolcott, of Col- orado. is intevested to the amount of £10,000 in backing Miss Marie Mainwright in her re. ported project of taking a theater in London, The fact that both individuals are here lends color to the rumor, Miss Harrison, when asked concerning the matter, said: “I do not think there is anything in that report. Iam quite sure that there is mnot. The James family, into which Miss Wain- wright married, is quite wealthy, and she does not need any other backing in any pro- ject she may have. Miss Harrison 18 lookiug extremely well, and has evidently lost ngne of her vivacity. She expressed herself' surprised and greatly pleased at finding in T.ondon so many per soual fricnds, : ———— FIRE AT VANCOUVER. —_— Four Blocks Destroyed—Thought to be Incendiarfes® Work. PoutLAND, Ore., June 22, —Four squares in the business portion of Vancouver, W. T., were swept by a conflagration to-day and about thirty buildingsidestroyed, involving a luss of about $70,000. The builaings were mostly small frame structures, There were also two smaller fires in Vancouver last night and it is thought that incendiaries are at work. The matter is being rigidly investi- gated, During the progress of the fire this morning a great panic prevailed and many families moved their effects away from the vicinuty of the burning district, thinking the town going.

The Famous Designer of That Struc- ture Banquets the Delegates From the United States —FPorsonal Points, In Summer Dress. [Copyright 1839 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, June 22.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tne Bee]—The weather in Paris continues fine, a warm wind comes from the northeast and the thermometer va- ries from 70 degrees Fahrenheit at noon to 60 degrees Fahrenbeit at midnight. The Bois de Boulogne is now in its brightest attire from 9 o’clock in the morning untii breakfast time. An English procession of fashion and ‘behemianism from every capital in the worid may be seen on horseback and 1n carriages, flitting rapidly along the Avenue dis Acacias. ‘The lawn tennis clubs on the islands of the Seine are now in full blast. Swimming, canoeing and boating have now takeu a firm hold upon Parisians, and the Seine and Marne were yesterday afternoon filled with noisy youths of exuberant vitality in striped jerseys and boating costumes. The arrivals day by day are only of short dura- tion, although those of yesterday include a number of prominent American tourists. Three hundred American engincers, many of them accompanied by their wives and daughters, visited the exhibition yesterday, where they were formally received and banquetted by M. Eiffel and the Society of Civil Engineers of France. The eallant 300 marcbed to the Eiffel tower and ascended it at half past 10. At half past 12 they came down ngain and sat down to & hearty breakfast at the restaurant Brebant, on the premier stage of the tower. General Grant presided and on his right was Mr. Whitelaw Reid, United States minister. On his left sat General Franklin, United States commissioner. Eiffel 18 a first rate after-dinuer speaker. He has an agrecable voice, and what he says has a pleasant, convincing ring to it. Eiffel drank to the health of the American people, to President Harrison, and to Presi dent Carnot, first as chief magistrate of the French republic, secondly in his capaci civil engineer. Those toasts were received with hurrahs and bravos. Mr. Heary R. "Powne, member of the Socieiy of American Engineers, responded very appropriately in French. M. Banderoli, engineer of the Che- min de Fer du Nord, proposed the health of the women of America, whom; he said, were s0 well represented in the Eiffel tower. A curious incident of the banquet was the = fact that a graphophone was placed near the speaker and recorded every word uttered. It will be sent to New York, where it will repeat the specches in the rooms of the Society of Civil Engineers. ‘This is said to be the first time that such a feat has been attempted, and the French exposition has thereby scored another suc cess, After breakfast the American en- gineers divided into seven sections and were conducted by their French colleagues over the exhibition. There were immense throngs present, and the visitors attracted much at - tention. The American engineers intend re- maining in Paris about ten days, during which tme they will wvisit every- thing fromn the Louvre down to the sugar works at Cail. They then dis~ perse or transform themselves into individual tourists, and pemetrate as far as Russia. Others will return directly to America. “They are distributed among some forty dif- ferent hotels, and seem to enjoy themselves immensely. At the American legation the minister of the United States and Mrs, Whitelaw Reid gave a small dinner last evening in honor of Mrs. Morton, wife of the vice-president, the German ambassador, Comtesse Marie, the Comtesse ae Hoyos, Comte and Comtesse Leuren Haupt, Mr. Spuller, minister of for- cign affairs, and a few others of the diplo- matic corps being the principal guests.
