Ho Mny lUnlco it Hot ftir Certain Pnr- tics Sclmnk Hnsiionilcd. CHICAGO , Juno3 , The many contradictory confessions of the imprisoned horse thief Woodruff , alias Black , regarding the Cronin mystery were capped by n brand now nnrra- , ivo from him regarding the affair. During the Inquest Police Captain Sclmnk , who was was on the witness stand , had testified as to , ho investigations which followed the arrest of Woodruff for horse stealing and retold the whole of Woodritif'8 varied stories about the men wnom ho claimed were named King and Fairburu , end the carrying oft of a woman's body in a trunk. When the cap * , iiin was asked if ho had any recent conver sation with Woodruff , bo said ! "Woodruff sent for mo the day tbo grand ury was in session on this case nnd wo went other into a private room ai > tbo Jail. oodruff went on to say that there were a ; oed many things ho bad not told about tha caso. Ho continued by saying ho was in a laloon ono afternoon with King and Fair- j'jrn when a atranga man entered and took ECing asida. Woodruff said tha man had a 3lg roll of money , and that ho gave some to [ Cing nnd moro to Falrburn. They went out together and the stranga man loft thorn nt ; ho door. After ho had gene Woodruff said 10 asked King who it wus , and ho said : That's the great lawyer , Alexander Sulli van. ' " Captain Schaak added , In reply to a Juror's question , that the next day after Woodruff had been indicted for horse stealing ho'sent word ho would not talk any moro. The Daily News says this evening that Woodruff this morning declared : " 1 ain't going to got the worst of It , although there are people trylni ; to give it to mo. I ain't an Irish Catholic , and I suppose the Irish will try to give mo the worst of it , but they hud bettor look out. If I find they are trying to lo that I'll niako some of thorn think hades is not moro than live minutes' distant. " Captain Schaak was suspended from duty , to-night , by Chief Hubbard for alleged doro- llction la tbo Cronin caso. Tha action was taken after Schaack's examination before the coroner's Jury , and is announced to be based upon Schaak's neglect to summon persons other than Mrs. Conklin to ident ify the famous white horse rig , nnd for not' inqurlng into the where- nbouts of Detectives Coucrhlln nnd Whalon the night of May 4. Chief Hubbard to-night. In un interview after the suspension jhargod tnat 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 ofllco Schaak had found a powerful friend In Alexander Sullivan , and in ona case Sullivan had sarod Schaak his rank and star as a captain.

Thirteenth Street Taxpayers Adver tise Their Wrongs. OMAHA , June 4. To the Editor of Tun BBE : The long suffering citizens ou the cast side of South Thirteenth street are getting desporato. l our years ago , they were put under n hoovy tax lor pavintr the street. They bore the expense willingly , expecting that at last Justice would bo done them ; that the ordinances requiring sidewalks to bu laid on paved streets , would be put into offnct on that street also , and that the cast side of it would enjoy equal benefits with the west sldo. Al.is for the blasted hopes I I1 our years have passed and the west sldo of Thirteenth street bos enjoyed the monopoly of travel and of business because uf tbe great injustice being done to the east sldo by a violation elation of the ordinance , and tlio refusal to order a uniform and favorable sidewalk on that sido. Again aad again we have pe titioned the council for relief , for simple Justice. But in vain. Finally , it seemed , that justice , tardy as it may have been , will , bo done to us. Ton days ago , TUB BcB-'un- nounced , that tbo sidewalk win ordered , and would bo laid ia fifteen days. But now , wo understand , that the old tog gles , who stand iti the way of all progress , who do not improve their property , do not make any investment , but grumble and croak against every improve ment and against high taxes , are combining in a last grand effort to prevent tha much- needed Improvement and will petition the council ta-nlgbt to postpone the laying of the sidewalk. Now will the council do HI Will It listen to the wishes ot craakors , who would have caused the city of Oumhu to remain a village if it were within their power , or will it listen to the wishes of live citizens , who have in vested all , and in some cases moro than all , in improvements which lira now unprofitable ! Will the council discourage improvement } and encourage old-fogpylsra I Will the coun cil persist in wronging the live citizens to favor a few croukersi Will it continue to pila.taxos on us nnd prevent the possibility of earning enough to pay thorn I Will it duro to rulti us to humor the drones of our busy city ! Wo hope not. Wo trust not. Wo hope that thpre uro enough men In the council to prevent the continuation , of this Injustice. But if there ure not , we will want to know why. Wo have suffered long , wa have suffered much , and wo are growing desperate. STKEBT TAXPATBRS. KedinonU Held for IMurdor. PiRiutK , Dak. , June 4.

Bodies of otalwart workman Ho bcsldo the remains ot dainty Indies , many of whom nro still docked with costly oar-rings with jewels on their lingers. Rich nnd poor throng these quarters and gaze with awo-struok faces at the masses of mutilations , in the liopo of re cognizing n missing one , BO as to accord the body n decent burial. A wealthy young Phlladclphian named Ogle recently bcc.iuio engaged to u Johns town lady , Miss Carrlo Dlohl. They were to bo wedded In tha middle of Juno , and both parties wore preparing for the coromouy , The lever hoard of the torrlbto flood , but , knowing thnt the residence of his dear ono was up in the lulls , felt little fear for her safety. To inako sure , however , ho started tor Johnstown , arriving to-dny. Near the Fourth street morgue ho mot Mr. Dlohl. "Thank God you nro safe. " ho exclaimed , then added , "Is Came wclll" "She was visiting in tha valley when the Hood caino , " was the mournful reply , them ho beckoned , the young man to outer the cham ber of death. A moment later Ogle wns kneeling- beside a tough bier and was kissing A COLD WHITE PACK. From the lifeless finger ho slipped a thin ? old ring and la its piaco put on his. own. Then ho stole qulotly out , ono of a thousand made to mourn by tha bursting of the South Fork dam. "Mamma , mamma , " cried a child. Sue had recognized u body that no ono else could , and in a moment the corpse was ticketed , boxed ma delivered to laborers , who bore it away to join the long funeral procession. A mother recognized ho < - baby boy. "Keep it a few minutes , " aha nikod the undertaker in charge. In a faw moments she returned , carrying in her urms a little white cas ket. Then she hired two men to bear Itto the cemetery. No hearses are seen In Johnstown. Relatives recognize their dead , secure coffins , got them carried the best way they can to the morgues , than 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 ever Johnstown ho rides a powerful gray horse and to each ono ho moots whom ho knows , ho exclaims : "IIAVB TOU SEEN MT SISTBUSt" Hardly waiting for a reply ho gallops away cither to seolr ingress to a morgue or to ride along the river bank. Ono week ago ho was wortn fGO,000 , all being invested in a large commission business. To day ho owns the horse ho rides , the clothes on his back , and that Is all. In the fierce wave were buried five of his near relatives , his sisters , Anna and Lizzie and Maggie. The last was mar ried , and her little boy and bubo were drowned. Flood and 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 * far burial , but so scorched about the head and faoo as to be unrecognizable. The supposition is the house in which the dead man bad lain had been crushed and the debris partially consumed by lire. SAVED SIXTT LIVES. I. H. Klein claims the distinction of being the only Now Yorker in Johnstown who escaped the Hood , 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 persona from tha windows of houses swimming by. Among those ho saved wore. Rev. Phillips , who , as as ho glided by , was trying to hold his vvlfo and two children above the water by means of a table , on which ho placed 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 bard to alleviate the suf- fcricns of the victims. Chairman Moxham , of the citizens' com mittee tolls a frightful story of the DESECUATION Or TUEDEAJB and of the looting of bouses. 'On the after noon of the disaster ho was work ing among the victims on the bill- side above Jonnstown when ho noticed a colored man hand a colored woman a gold watch and chain , with the re mark , "Hold my watch for me. i am afraid I will lose it. " Tne man was apparently working industriously upon the wreck , nnd Moxham did not think anything of tbo cir-fc cumstances until he saw the negro step up to the woman again , hand her another watch and repeat his remark. Suspecting some thing wrong , Maxham had the woman placed under arrest. Her pockets were found to bo filled with watches nnd Jewelry. There wore several rings that were bloody. FIXOEliS 1IAD BEEN CUT Off the dead for the gold. Later on Moxham discovered several cart loads of shoes and clothing secreted back on ono of tha hills. One man hud a clothes line strung full of clothing evidently taken from .the victims , as they were wet and muddy. When the oRlcors attempted to seize the , , goods tbo fellow opennd lira upon them with a revolver. They returned the salute and did not stop after regaining the clothes , to see what the effect had been. As to the failure of the Johnstown coun cils to afford police protection , there are found many extenuating circumstances. One-fourth of the councilmen are believed to bavo lost their lives in the Hood , and there is scarcely ono of the living who bavo not mot with some terrible loss. Five Italians were caught this afternoon while in the act of exhuming 11 body at the- cemetery. Fortunately for them there were few people around , or they would undoubt edly have bben strung up. As it was , they were taken In charge of by a file of soldiers and locked In a box car. Petty thioyin ? is certainly going on , but oy to-morrow a thor ough military patrol will prevent it la u great measure. Adjutant-General Hastings at midnight wired Governor Beaver bis report of the day. It Is a most encouraging ono and shows that the terror-stricken city is recovering from the blow strucic hero. Tha report is as fol lows : "Tbo Fourteenth regiment arrived hero to-day. 400 strong. The burgess of Johns town and tha sheriff of Cambria county finally requested the troops this morning. There has been no violence or disorderly conduct. Several thieves have been arrested. About 1,000 laborers are at work , and squads are coining in from all sides. Tlio present force will probably bo doubled to-morrow. There ia plenty of food and clothing. The survivors are regaining their health. Chairman Moxbam , of the citi zens' committee , bocaino exhausted to-day , and Jumes Scott , of Pittsburg , was elected In his place. The organization is now per fect. D. II. HASTINGS. " Four long trenches two foot long , seven wide and three foot deep form graves for 200 victims of the flood whose bodies have boon recovered at Nmavoh , ten milosbolow Johns town , to-day. This is the first open ing of the narrow little valley through which the Conomaugh dashes like a mill race. From the fields of mud to-day many bodies have been taken. The searchers find many of the bodies by moans of hands 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 aero of ground on the side of the mountains and converted it Into a cemetery. A Rang of laborers wore at work all day digging trenches. The scene * at the cemetery to-night wore depressing , and the sympathetic torches of laborers looked from across the Holds ilka so many jack-o-lantorns , luring their victims on to destruction. Coroner Hammer , of Allegheny , is at this point doing excellent work. His jury was organized Saturday and have heard plenty of testimony. Coroner Hammer will push on to South Fork as soon as the railroad is open , and with the jury make u formal examination of the lake.

I notice that the secretary of the Eolith Park Fishing club said , yesterday , th.lt tH e club had filed an , indemnity bond , iii clulmo.1 br citizen of Ebonsbnrg , nnd tn'at complaints had never boon made about' 'th6 safety of the dam by any of Johnstown1 ; ! citizdns. Ha Is undoubt edly correct as to tltd Ubnd. but it la mUload- Ing as to the second pdfrt of hU statements. There Is no shftdOWbt doubt but that the citizens of CamUrla county frequently com plained , nnd at the tltno the dam was con structed n very vlgbr'om effort wns uiada to put n stop to IhH' work. It is true , the loader of this movement was not a clttron of Johnstown , but ho was and in n largo mlno owner in Cambria county. His mlno adjoins tha reservoir prop erty. Ho related to tno Saturday the story of his labors in his effort to protect the lives and property in that valley. Ho was fro- quontlv on the spat and his own engineer in spected tha work. Ho says the embank * mont was principally of shale nnd clay nnd that straw was used to stop the leaking of the water whlla the work was going on. Ho called on the sheriff of Cambria county nnd told him it wus his duty to applV to the court for an Injunction. The sheriff promised to giva ttio matter his attention , but instead of going before the court , he wont to the Cambria Irotn com pany lor consultation. An omployo was sent up to make inspection , and as his re port was favorable to the reservoir work , the sheriff wont no further. But the gentle man referred to said ho had not fallod to innko public his protest at the time and to renew it frequently. This recommendation for an injunction and tno protest wcrospokon of by the citizens of Altoona as a hackneyed subject. The rumor of the expected break was prevalent early In the day , but the citi zens remarked that the humor was a famjiiar incident of the annual freshets. Itwasiho old classic story , "wolf , wolf. " They gave up the first floors to the water and retired up stairs to wait until tha river should recede , as they had done often boforo. scouting the oft-told story of tha breaking of the reservoir. The reader will note the ro- inantublo conflict between that shale and clay story of tha iniuo owner , referred to above , and the published statement of Gen eral Moorchoad , who had charge of , con struction , that the masonry was solid gran- ice and limestone and was believed to bo en- duriug ns the pyramids of Egypt. The awful disaster would seem to confirm the allegation of the use of unlit 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 bo allvo. A conductor who was at Conomaugh on tlio fateful day claims to have run through the cars and told the passengers to run to the mountains. The passengers who survive 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 beautiful white caps. Their manner was calm , and their clothing unspotted. I asked ono of them why ho did not notify the pas sengers of the breaking of the dam. Ho replied in some confusion that ho had uo time. His companion made report to his superior , which report was carried ever the mountain by a passenger that night , but there was nothing in it to indicate that any ofthe passengers' were any of his concern. Ho reported the losa of two trains. In strik ing contrast to the nocrlect 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 , whoso bravery nnd devotion were so conspicuous. They never neglected to give such warning ! as they could in the face of danger and in some cases of certain death. - y M- A brakemen riding deadhead , whoso name can not bo recalled , , rendered splendid ser vice in rescuing awomau and children at the , risk of bis own lifo.

Wo think better of our . -race with such an example before us. WILLIAM HUNRT SMITH. Tlio Situation at Wllllamspoct. HAIIUISDURO , June 4. Mayor Foresman , of Williamsport , telegraphed Governor Beaver to-day : "Tbo boom has boon cleaned of logs from the principal yards along the river front , and manufactured lumber has been swept away. The houses of the people nearest the river have been carried away with all they 'possessed. Thousands of people are homeless - loss and without anything but tlio clothes upon their backs. Many of our people are in absolute want for the necessities of life. At a meeting of tbo business man , called yesterday , $7,000 was raised. Dead animals and all icinds 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 boon swept away , and the loss of life has neon considerable. A thousand military tents will afford tha greatest possible relief to our people , who are now without shelter. " Governor Heaver replied to Mayor Fore man in substance as follows : ' Will reaoh-you with help as soon as Mont gomery bridge can bo crossed. I am loading cars hero with Hour and groceries ; notwith standing the pressure of our own stricken peoplo. Put your unemployed men to work in removing the debris and in cleaning your city. I will furnish means for paying them reasonable \vages. The country is respond ing nobly , and the address sent out last night will give u bettor Idea of the situation , BO that I hayo no fear of any lack of moans for furnishing all needed help.
