TELKOllAl'lI W1IIE8 DOWK.
BiiAimocK , Pa. , May 31. The Associated
press correspondent on a special train on
route to the scene of the disaster , savs that
the telegraph wires being down absolutely
for six or seven miles below the immediate
scene , and being in unworkable shape for
three or four miles distant , it was after 7
o'clock before un accurate outline of tlmeffcct
of the tidal wave could bo learned. The
chief oRlcials of the Pittsburg end
of the main line of the Pennsylvania
railroad received most of their flrst Informa
tion from the signal tower ut Sank Hollow ,
six miles west of Johnstown. At a quarter
of 8 o'clock a boy was rescued by men in the
signal tower of the railroad company. His
name is unknown , but ho said that with his
father , mother , brother nnd two sisters ho
was swept over the breast of the now stone
railroad bridge at Johnstown ; that it cap-
si7cd n few seconds later nnd they were all
drowned , so far as ho could toll. Tbo
railroad operator ofticlally reports that
before dark they were able to count 110 per
sons clinging to buildings and wreckage or
drowned and floating oc the current. If this
information Is to bo credited the damage in
the town proper must bo in the nature of a
clean sweep. As early as 1 o'clock an
alarm was sent to Johnstown that
there was danger from the
dam. The railroad oltlcials were
notified and In a very short tlmo began to
carry people from the town to placed of
safety , on the regular trains and on hastily
improvised rescuing trains. Superintend
Pitcalrn. of the western division of the
Pennsylvania railroad , was on his way to
South fork nnd was notified of the impend ,
ing trouble.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE 1II8E1IVOIII. !
In order to understand the nature of this
calamity , it In necessary to describe the
rcspsctivu locations of the reservoir at John
stown.
It lies about two and a half miles north ,
cast of Johnstown , and Is the site of the old
reservoir , which was ono of the feeders
ot the Pennsylvania canal. This shop.t
of water was formerly known as Conemaugh
lake. It Is from 200 to 'MO toot above the
level of Johnstown , being In the mountains ,
It is about three nnd a half miles long and
from a mila to n milo and n quarter In width ,
and in Rome places It is 103 feet
in depth. It holds more water
than any other reservoir , natural or
artificial in the United States. It was held
in check by n dam 7UO to 100 feet wide. It is
ninety feet in thlcknes at the base , and its
height Is 110 feet , The top has n breadth of
over twenty feet. Hocognl/lng the menace
which the lake held to the region below , the
South Fork club , which owned the reservoir ,
had the dam inspected once a month
by n Pennsylvania road bnglnoor nnd
tholr Investigation showed that nothing lea
than seine convulsion of nature- would toai
the barrier away und loosen the weapon u
death. The steady rains of the past forty ,
eight hours Increased the volume of wate
in all the Biimll mountain streams , whlcli
\\erualreadyswolled by lessor ralus carllo

Unearthed Nonr-n Sower.
CHICAGO , May 31. Late to-night It Is
earned that Dr. Cronln's ' clothes have been
ound. The first clue wns obtained by ttio
finding of underwear by the children men-
toned In these dispatches several days ago.
? ho pollco bognn n vigorous searcn for the
emnmdor of the clothing , nnd near the
nouth of the Fifty-ninth street sewer unearthed -
oarthed the murdered physician's pants ,
coat , shirt nnd undershirt. They were
juried over n foot under ground. The
shirt bore the nnmo of the murdered
doctor nnd the other articles were readily
recognized ns portions of his nppnrol.
Strange to say , however , the vest wns miss-
ng , nnd in Its place was n vest of much
coarser material. This garment presumably
jolongcd to ono of the murderers or accom
plices. For this reason the pollco nro using
every effort to suppress their discovery ,
loping that Crouln's vest may bo discovered
.n the possession of ono of the murderers ,
The pants found were deeply stained with
blood.
CIIAHOED WITH CIlONIN'S ' MUUDCR.
Tills afternoon ex-Dotectivo Coughlln , Ice
Man Sullivan , nnd Frank Woodruff , alias
Black , were arraigned before Judge William
son on the charge of murdering Dr. Cronin.
Bach of the men entered a formal plea of not
guilty nnd they were returned to jail.
MACK % BTonr.
An evening paper says that some valuable
information in the Cronin case has been
gathered from the man "Mack , " nllus Wil
liams alias MoWllllams , who was arrested
in n cheap lodging house. "Mack" claims to
bo a carpenter. Ho told the following story :
"On the 2d of May I was working for n
Mrs. Wilson , on North Ashland nvenuo.
scarcely a block from the Carlson cottage. I
was putting In screen windows nt
the tlmo. While nt work , a
lady , whoso name C I understood to
bo Mrs. Dudley , came In mm began to talk
with Mrs. Wilson. I was in the sumo room
nnd overheard every word. Mrs. Dudley ,
who is n stout , fleshy woman , was talking
very bitterly against a physician who had
attended her husband. I heard the name
'Dr. Cronin' mentioned , but I did not know
whether the physician complained of wai
the Cronin referred to or not. Mrs.
Dudley scorned very much excited and fre
quently made the remark in great spirit , 'I
will get oven with him.1 Mrs. Dudley said
she was working in un orphan asylum on
Burlington street , but that &ho was going to
leave the asylum , and that she dally ex
pected to go to live with her two brothers in
n cottage near by. Mrs. Dudley pointed in
the direction ot the Carlson cottage in re
ferring to the place she was going to move
into. " .
At the Chicago nursery and half orphan
asylum on Burlington street , it was found
that o-Mrs. Dudley had boon there , but had
since gone away. It is believed that Wil
liams fs ono-bf thtfmen who rented the Carl-
son cottage ; that ho is a carpet-layer by
trade , and that he laid the carpet in the
cottaco.
Later To-night the police officials say
they have learned that "Mack's"
rer.l name is Dudley. The supposi
tion is that he is the husband
of the woman mentioned in the story. Ho
says that ho was animated in telling the
story by the desire to cause trouble for his
wife , who loft him on account of brutality
and drunkenness. They deny that they have
nny evidence connecting "Mack" with the
case , but in this connection it should bo
stated that httlo , except denials of the stories
made public by the newspapers , is obtain
able from the uollco for the past few days.
They are very secretive.
Late to-night it is said that the authorities
have determined to apply for the extra
dition of Willliara J. Stnrkoy. now in Tor
onto , whoso name has boon frequently men
tioned in connection with the caso.
Three now suspects were arrested to-night.
They were all Phlladolphlans , and came hero
recently. Thomas Murphy , M. J. Murphy
and E. J. Williams composed the trio. After
being lield in custody for some time they
were released. Young is familiar with the
appearance of the men who rented the cot
tage where Cronin was slain , declaring that
the prisoners were not the persons wanted.

Cronin left valuable papers relating to what

bard , this afternoon , but for what purpose ,
or with wnat result , neither of them would
say. In conversation with n reporter , this
evening , Mr. Hynes said that , while ho could
not speak of what the searches of Dr.
Cronln's friends were dovcloulng , he was
morally certain of ono fact , and that was
that stories that Dr. Cronin had been "re
moved" by order of the Clan-na-Gaol are
false.
"I um certain that no 'trial' or 'cnndomna
tlon' such ns Is talked of ever took place in
the body of any Irish society. The con
spiracy was not the work of a society , but ol
individuals. "
"Do you think the men under arrest are

they were not the heads of the conspiracy ,
and may not have been the actual murder.

CHICAGO , May 31. Interest In the Cronin
case was partially eclipsed to-day by n son-
atlon created by thoa nnouncomont of the
return to Chicago of W. J. McGarlgle , ox-
vardon of the county hospital , and general
agent of Cook county's boodle gang. A hls-
ory of this case , nnd of McQarglo's sonsn
tonal escape from the custody of Sheriff
Mntson , nnd the uubscquent chnso
nto Canada need no repetition nt
his tlmo. Shortly before noon to-day , Mo
Gnrlglo walked into Judge Shepard's ' branch
of the county court , accompanied by Stnto'8
Attorney Longneclter , Attorney Adams , E.
J. Lehmnnn und James Fitzsltnmons , the lat-
.er two being" McGarlglo's bondsmen. "The
court olllcinls nnd | > ollccincn wattinr ; to glvo

lucnt at the sight of the man who had bcon so
lonit n fugitive in Canada. The court sus
pended proceedings in the case ou trial

inont had bcon mndo between the state's nt-
Lornoy and the counsel for the defendant. In
view of \ \ recent decision of the supreme
court ol Illinois , granting Edward McDon
ald , ox-engineer of the county hospital , nnd
a brother of Mike McDonald , the well known
political boss , n now trial. In vluw of that
decision it had been ngrocd that n now trial
shall bo granted McGarlnlo ; that ho should
enter n plea of guilty and pay n lino. Stnto's
Attorney Longonocker said such nn
arrangement had been made , nnd
desired that n line of $1,000 bo
Imposed. Ho said McDonald , who was codefendant -
defendant wltn McQarlglc , bad been granted
n now trial , but that the state did not desire
to try him again. He thought the arrange
ment with McGarlgle , who had escaped to
Canada , was the best that could bo made.
As to McDonald , ho had served eighteen
months in Jail and suffered moro than Me-
Gariglo. The dlfllcultloa in tlio way of the
successful prosecution of a new trial were
insuperable. IIo therefore moved that n
nolle proscquo bo entered ns to him. The
orders were inndo by the court , nnd while
the clerk was figuring up the costs , Mc-
Gariglo and his friends retired to the Judge's
chamber.
McGariglo said ho did not wish to talk

main In Chicago. Ho was given three years
In the penitentiary the verdict of the Jury
nnd a fine of Sl.UOO , The verdict was sot
aside by the supreme court of the state fif
teen months after ho escaped from the
sheriff. There were twenty - three
indictments against him. It was
on one of these , the ono under
which ho and McDonald were tried , that ho
was fined , the other twenty-two wore
stricken oft. The costs of the trial nud those
resulting from the forfeiture of his bonds
amounted to about $1(5GO. ( This ninount nnd
the fine was paid to the clerk of the court ,

FALLS , Pa. , May ,31. [ Special
Telegram to THE BBC. ] The commence
ment exercises nt Geneva college , that
stanch , covenantor- institution , yesterday ,
was chnr ltevtzed by stormy proceedings ,
which , at ono tlmo , almost. resulted In n riot.
For n long tlmo trouble has been brewing
between the faculty nnd the students. Day
before yesterday , at a class meeting , Will
McAllister displayed to the delighted stu
dents a scries of life-size caricatures of the
faculty.
Yesterday morning Dr. George , the presi
dent , informed McAllister that neither the
latter nor his sister could bo graduated. The
announcement fell llko a thunderbolt on the
astonished students , and when the class
assembled upon the platform , before a largo
and fashionable audience in the
clinpcl , it could be seen that the
members were not in a happy frame
of nilnd. All went well , however , until Mc
Allister's turn came to deliver an oration.
Of course , ho was absent , but the students
in the gallery and nudltorium set un n veil of
"McAllister. " A bceno of the greatest con
fusion followed. Dr. Gcorpo sprang to his
feet and demanded order , but his voice was
drowned by cat-calls pnd hisses.
"Clear the gallery , " cried Dr. George to
the Janitor.
"Send him up hero nnd wo will throw him
over the railing. " yelled the students.
"Send for the police , " cried Dr. George ,
but his vblco could hardly be hoard.
Finally , quiet wns restored. Dr. George
stated ho would not allow the McAllisters to
bo graduated because they had not paid for
they diplomas. The affair will bo brought
before the next meeting of the synod.
