The Orlnncll Fire.
Dns MOINES , la. , Juno 12. Onnnoll , the
bcf.utlful collcpa town llfty miles cast of
hero , was visited by a very destructive llro
this afternoon. It caught in nn elevator
goutli of the Hook Island track , and swept
over n largo part of the business part of the
town , burning forty-ono buildings. Grin-
iicll has no waterworks , but has a steam en
gine that depends upon wells for n supply.
Boon after the llro got n headway nn appeal ,
for help was sent to Marshalltown , and a
special train with hose end trucks camq
flylng.down. Brooklyn ulso responded with
a chemical engine , and the united efforts of
nil three cities succeeded in holding the
flames In check , after burning a largo part
of the business houses.
The fire was kept out of the residence portion
tion of the city , but thousands of dollars
worth of dry goods and other goods from the
stores were dumped In the public square.
A telegram was sent to Governor Larrabco
asking him to order out company G , of the
Iowa National guard , located ut Grlunoll , to
protect property. Ho was absent , but his
private secretary replied that the sheriff and
Ms posse must do that unless they were not
nblo to do so , and so the order was not given.
Great confusion prevailed , but at late hour
to-night the guards nro patrolling the streets
nnd watching the property , and the town Is
becoming quiet again.
Forty-ono buildings , mostly frame , were
burned , Including Treat & CO.'B elevator ; O.
A. fay tor & Co. , agricultural implements ;
Allies , Cbaffoo's ofllco ; city ball ; Herald of
fice ; Morrison , Mclntosh & Co.'s glove fac

the arrest of 1' . A. Brownscomb , a painter
nnd paper hanger , for seduction and attempt

Is the only daughter at home. She is alone
most of the time. Brownscomb selected nor

ing smoothly ho weiu to a prominent physi
cian in town nnd represented that Dollio
would need care to relieve her from suspic
ion and criticism. He mentioned the name
of n prominent merchant of this town as
being the author of the trouble. The doctor
wrote to Dollic. Dollio answered , implicat
ing Brownscomb. The doctor took the letter
to the county attorney. Matters could bo
kept secret no longer. The father is almost
insane with rage and grief. He had Browns-
comb arrested on two charges seduction
and attempt to commit abortion. The de
fense asked for n continuance to next Mon

ment Is Intense.

The Stnto Tnkcs Control of Affairs nt
lolinstown.
JOHNSTOWN , Pa. , Juno 12. The borough
of Johnstown and surrounding towns are
now Under military rule. At 7 o'clock this
morning General Hastings took charge ana
soldier * wore placed on guard nt all the com
missary departments and morgues. A slight
rain has been falling all the morning nnd the
city presents n dismal appearance. Every
thing Is in turmoil and confusion , and little
or no work Is being done. However , nil the
men nt the morgues nnd relief committees
arc still hard at work.
General Hastings states that the work of
clearing nwny the debris , under the direc
tion of the stnto , will commence in earnest
to-morrow morning. James McKnlght has
been selected as ono of the contractors , nnd
ho will have two thousand men at work to
morrow morning.
For the flr t tlmo since the calam
ity , the people nro commencing to
taltt of their financial lessen and
this seems to worry them as much as any
thing else. To say that n great number of
former merchants arc disheartened is putting
It mildly. Pittsburg wholesale merchants
uro hero trying to comfort them. They are
offering old merchants inducements to start
up again ,
Eight hundred special policemen em
ployed hero by the sheriff were discharged
this morning ami soldiers put In their places.
General Hastings gave orders to permit
all persons wearing press badges to go any
place they wished. TU.O registers who have
Dccn making n house to house canvass will
bo ready to report ibis evening. After this
n second canvass will bo made to verify the
first , and as this will take over a week there
will bo no correct list of the living until that
time.
But few bodies were recovered this morn
ing , owing to the chaotic condition of affairs
pending the transfer of authority. There
are only about ono hundred and fifty men ut
work.
Order Is coming out of chaos nnd military
discipline has shown its effects at the end of
the Ilrst day. At a citizens' meeting this
afternoon n resolution was passed bidding
General Hastings God speed and ordering
the city ofllclals to kcop hands off. A grand
exodus of workmen has been going on all
day. As fast as their money was handed
out of the paymaster's window the workmen
boarded the trains on which their picks and
carts were loaded and left Johnstown with
out nnv expressed regrets.
\Vcrk upon the tulus has been nearly ac n
standstill all day , but to-morrow morning
General Hastings expects to have 2,500 men
at work. The new plan of canvassing the
city ana systematizing the distribution of
supplies Is meeting with general favor. Pro
visions and supplies continue to come in
freely. There l little change in the health
situation.
A meeting was hold in Alma hall by the
citizens of Johnslown to-day , at which the
leading business men who survived the flood
were present. Remarks were made by sev
eral ol those present touching the great work
bofora them , and the necessity of united and
Individual action to rebuild the town ,
and the cultivation of fortitude to bear
up under the burdens so suddenly thrust
upon them. Resolutions were adopted thank-
lug James Scott for his untiring efforts to
bring order out of chaos , the people of Pitts-
burg in particular and the citizens of the
United States generally for their prompt and
generous assistance" .
The bureau of-rceistration rcnorted to-day
that 15 , < io8 survivors had registered. Many ,
rcgisteied twice and somahalf u dozen times ,
which caused the list to run up to 21,000.
To-day scarcclv twenty names were regis
tered , showing the work is approaching com
pletion. The number of bodies recovered is
1,1112 , of which 033 h.ivo been identified.

ono of his heels as If some ouo had pricked
it with a knife. There was no wound , but
on the next dav the heel began to swell and
soon began to fester and slough away.
From the heel the affliction spread upward
and over the body , until , nt ono time , every
bone in his body was affected with what is
termed necrosis , or death of the bone.
The sloughing was fearful , at ono tlmo
ever four pints of pus being drawn from ono

was possible , out with no good results , and
he died after suffering four years.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Juno 12. )
The Iowa people in Washington who nro
waiting for political plums to drop from the
tree nro consoling themselves with the belief
that after all the state has secured about as
much patronage as any of her sisters. Said
on oof them to-night :
"Wo hnvo Colonel Clarkson as assistant
postmaster-general , Colonel Hepburn as
solicitor of the treasury , ox-Governor Stone
as acting commissioner of the general laud
ofllco nnd Colonel Swords as superintendent
of furniture in the treasury department , be
sides these , both Secretary Noble and Assis
tant Secretary Bussoy were formerly of the
Hawkeye state , nnd wo may oven claim them
if wo want to brag over our follows. "
Notwithstanding this there are n number
of gentlemen from Iowa still In Washington
who nro anxiously waiting for some minor
place , and while the congressional delega
tion Is not very numerous the Indications are
that when the batch of appointments , which
is expected to precede the close of the fiscal
year , is announced Iowa will have its full
share.
AN AMTI-MAHONE DELEGATION.
The two wings of the republican party In
Virginia , generally known as the Mahono
nnd anti-Mahono factions , have now pre
sented their side of the unpleasant political
controversy to the president. Yesterday n
delegation from General Mahono's sldo of
the fence visited the white house and laid its
claims before President Harrison. To-day
the other side , headed by ex-Governor Cam
eron , who by the way owed his political pre
ferment to the friendship of Mahono some
years ago , put In nn appearance nnd stated
their objections to permitting General Ma
hone to say who would have the patronage
of the state. They expect thut tneir num
bers nnd the well known position of several
of the gentlemen who wore present with
them would have weight with the president
and that they would bo able to convince him
that they were the true republicans and that
none others had any right to the
trade mark. But President Harri
son told them , as ho told the
opposing factions from other states , that ho
can not afford to wash the dirty linen of his
party. Ho let it bo distinctly understood
that ho would not , under any circumstances ,
mix up in any political quarrel , and ho prac
tically advised his callers to go homo and fix
up the difference among themselves and
agree upon a united policy before coming to
Washington with their recommendations.
President Harrison has shown his wisdom in
adopting this course. It cun not bo denied
that the factional fight in the state of Vir-
L'niia is one of the most bitter that the uarty
has to contend with in the United States.
The Mahono aud antl-Mahono men are
further apart than over , and there seems to
bo not the slightest prospect that they vlll
over be able to harmonize their differences
and agree upon a slnto for the
oftlccs. It is probable that the
president will therefore use his own judg
ment , together with the advice and rccom-
uicndationfl of the party organisations iu the
various district in distributing the ofllccs
Within his gift , and tbo present indications
are that ho will strive as fur as possible to
maintain absolute impartiality as between
the wings of the party represented by General -
oral Mahouo and ex-Governor Cameron , re
spectively.
SULLIVAN'S AIIIIEST.
The arrest of Alexander Sullivan In Chicago
cage , yesterday , for alleged complicity in the
murder of Dr. Cronin , was thu solo topic of
conversation among Irish-Americans in this
city to-day. Almost without exception the
opinion was freely expressed by each that In
view of the evidence thus far adduced the
arrest was unwarranted. Each expressed the
hope that the murderers would bo discovered
and punished , but every man seen thought
the coroner's Jury too hasty in ordering Mr.
Sullivan's arrest. At present there is no
branch of tbo Clan-na-Gaol In this city ,
though until about three years ngo there was
flourishing lodge which met once n week on
the avenue. Nearly every prominent Irish
man in Washington was a member und the
society did much for the cause. Some of the
members attempted to use the organization
for political purposes , however , and this
proved to bo its ruin , for the members lost
all Interest ntid one by ono dropped out , until
finally only half a dozen remained. They
couldn't pay the rent and the society passed
out of existence.
Till ! I'OSTOrFICB SITE ,
Senator Charles F. Mundorson called upon
Secretary' Windom this afternoon and re
marked that ho was very anxious to get
away , and that ho did not desire to leave before
fore the secretary decided upon his course of
action in the matter of the Omaha federal
buildirg site. Secretary Windom replied
that ho would try to relieve the mind of the
senator and do all In his power to let him
start within u day or two. Then ho made
some inquiries about the respective sites and
told Assistant Secretary Tichonor that ho
would try to see him nt the curliest moment
In regnrd to the matter. From the drift of
the conversation It was evident that Secre
tary Windom and Assistant Tlcheuor hava
opposite views upon the question of the best
location. Just which site ouch gentleman
prefers could not bo ascertained , Out there
Is no doubt that the delay In settling the
question arises largely from the fact that
Secretary Windom believes in ono slto while
his assistant prefers another.

CHICAGO , Juno 12. | Special Telegram to
THE BEE , ] The break in the Chicngo-St.
? aul rates is apparently no nearer settled
than boforo. After a btrpng session of the
Western Freight association this morning it
was decided to postpone consideration of the
reduction iu local rates until to-morrow af
ternoon , pending an answer to a proposition
made to the lake lines for an advance In
through rates to the old b.aris.
It was given out on the quiet that the prop
osition was made to the , lake lines only to
gain time , no 0110 believing it woulfl bo ac
cepted. It was that the lake lines should
take 0 per cent of the entire through busi
ness ; that the through rates bo advanced to
the old figure , and that no differentials bo
? ivon any one. The trouble with this propo
sition Is that there can be no guarantee of
the agreed division of traffic.

REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE.
The Judge Will Carefully Consider

Coroner's Jury Maroncy
nnd McDonald.
A Succlnl Grand Jury Impaneled.
CiitCAao , Juno 12. The special grand Jury
o deal with the Cronln case was Impaneled
this morning In Judge Shcpard's court. In
addressing the Jury Judge Shcpurd snld ho
expected a full , exhaustive , Impartial inves
tigation of ' , the murder of Dr. Cronin , The
entire resources of the county , ho said ,
would bo at the disposal of the Jury , nnd wit
nesses who would not testify should bo made
to do so. The grand Jury had it in its
) owcr to do BO. Tuoro nro only
IAVO Irishmen on the panel W. J.
3uan. n well-known wholesale grocer , nnd
D'Ncll , ex-county commissioner.
The special venire for n Jury was returned
n to court by Sheriff Matson In person.
Ho stated that ho chose the Jurors by turn ;
Inc to the business part of the directory mid
selecting the names of men well known n-
particular branches of business , with special
: are that no ono should bo drawn who enl
pertained prejudices for or against the Clan-
m-Gucl. Judge Shcimrd appointed John P.
31augh foreman of the Jury. The greatest
; > rccautions were taken to keep
-ho Cproceedings ! secret , although the
ury went over the old ground nnd
: ienrd witnesses who had already told what
; hey knew nt the coroner's inquest. After
.ho Jury had organized they listened to the
story of Lieutenant Schuttler , who to'd ' what
: io know of the Carlson cottage.
Subpoenas were served on Dr. ( Jronln's
friends , Saloon Keeper Conklln and wife ;
: ho two Carlsons , father and sou ; James
Mullln , manager of Rovoll & Co. ; E. G.
Throckmorton , clerk for Knight & Marshall ,
real estate agents ; Salesman , W. P. Hat-
field , of Rcvcll&Co. ; M. E. McIIale , car-
jet layer for Kevell & Co. ; Joseph Cronin ,
jrothcr of Dr. Cronib , nnd Justice Mahoncy ,
of Lake View. Mr. Throckmorton
told of the renting of the flat
ut West Clark street by "J. B. Simmons. "
It took ten minutes for Mr. Hatllcld to re-
ate all about the purchase of the f urnituro at
Itovoll's. He came down in fifteen minutes.
Justice Mahoney then entered the room und
stayed for two hours , nil the other witnesses
jelng presently sent homo. The magistrate
as pressed very hard about the contract P.
D. Sullivan had made with Dr. Croniu. It
, s reported ho was charged with having
guilty knowledge of that contract ; with at
tempting to suppress a part of the truth
about the so-called Washington literary soci
ety ; with being n bitter hater of the doctor ,
and with attempting to shield his supposed
murderers. Mahoney , after a long examina
tion , emerged in a very much excited und
trembling condition , and the grand Jury.nd-
ourned until to-morrow.
Alexander Sullivan dcclir.od to see any
callers this morning exceut his law partners.
None of the horde of curiosity seekers , who
on ono pretext or another , gained admittance
to the cage , were able to got a gllinpso of
iiini , he quietly foiling all such efforts by re
maining nt the fur end of the cell ,
Just out of reach of the many cairs of oycjs
strained in his direction. To n friend who
sent Sullivan a note from the Jail ofllco ex
pressing unshaken conlidciica in his inno
cence , the famous ox-president of the Irish
Notional league returned the following reply :
"I am very grateful for your kind words.
Time and the truth will Justify you in their
use. Sincerely ,
ALBXAKDBII SULLIVAN. "
This afternoon Sullivan made application
by attorney , returnable at 4 o'clock , for n
writ of habeas corpus. It asserts the rordlct
of the coroner's jury is insufllcicnt for his
commitment bail. That though u large
amount of extra judicial evidence was taken
by thu coroner , no testimony sufllclcnt to jus
tify his incarceration was produced , and his
imprisonment Is the result of pusslou nnd
prejudice. Ho declares he is entirely inno
cent of any connection with Cronln's death.
After listening to the petition Judge Tulcy
issued the writ as prayed , returnable nt 4 p. in.
The Judge announced that ho would read
the testimony taken before the coroner's
jury in the Cronin murder case , and decide
whether or not there was enough evidence to
hold Alexander Sullivan without bail. Ho
will announce his decision Friday forenoon
at 10 o'clock.
A very strong chain of circumstantial evi
dence has been wound about John J.
Maronoy , ono of the men under arrest in
Now York under suspicion of being con
nected with the murder of Dr. Cronin. The
story as given by the authorities is us fol
lows : Photographs were procured of
Maroncy aud McDonald , the other man
arrested at the sumo time in
New York. These were mixed with'u num
ber of others nnd shown Ilrst to Salesman
Hatfleld , of Hovell & Co. , who sold the fur
niture subsequently found In the Carlson cot
tage in Luke Vluw , in which Dr. Cronin was
murdered. Hatllcld , without hesitation ,
picked out Mnrouc.v's portrait ns that of the
man to whom ho sold the furniture. The
pictures were then shown to Throckmorton ,
the real estate agent who rented the rooms
on Clark street opposite Cronln's ofllco , to.
which the furniture was llrat carted from
Hevoll's. Throckmorton picked out the pic
ture of Maronoy as the man to whom ho
rented the rooms. Once more the pictures
were shuffled , and this tlmo they were shown
to Expressman Martcnson , who carted the
furniture from the Clark street rooms to the
Carlson cottage in Lake View , whcro Cronin
was murdered. The result was the sumo.
Maronoy's picture was again selected , this
time us the man who had hired the furniture
moved. Neither of these persons knew
what had been dona by the other. In each
of these cases the man gave his name as J , U.
Simmons. It now remains to bo seen
whether or not the Carlson * will recognize
Him as ono of tlio alleged brothers named
Williams who rented the cottage.
Chief Hubbard said later ho understood
that Maronoy's picture hud been shown to
Mrs. Conklln , and that she had recognized It
us that of the man who drove Dr. Cronin
away. Requisition papers were secured from
Governor Fifer , and nt 10 o'clock this morn
ing a Pmkerton detective started for Now
York with them. Luke Dillon has Maroney's
signature on the McCoy betel register in his
possession. The signature Is "W. L. Mel
ville , " and the clerk identifies the picture of
Mnroncy as that of Melville. There is some
thing inoro startling In the signature.
The " 1's , " "B'S" und "I'u" in Melville
are Hiaiilnr In slmpo to those in the letter to
the Carlsons from "F.V. . , " one of Urn Will-
lams brothers who hired the cottage.
Luke Dillon loft for Philadelphia this af
ternoon. "My business has been neglected , "
ho uuld , "but I shall bo back in u few duvs
and expect to work harder than ever in
bringing the murderers to Justice. I hnvo
not u particle of doubt that they will bo all
convicted. " Hu said that the censure by the
coroner's jury will hurt the Clan-nn-Guel ,
but that that body will bo reorganised anil
its effect neutralized by eliminating souio of
the nt present objectionable features ,
Arraigned In Court.
NEW YOUK , Juno 12. Maronoy and
and McDonald , the two gCruuln sus
pects arrested ycRtorduy , were arraigned In
court to day und remanded without ball to
await thu arrival of Chicago detectives.
After oolng arraigned end [ remanded both
men talked to the reporter. McDonald said
ho cuino bore from Philadelphia four years
ago aud has never been out of the city slnco ,
and has not traveled live miles on n railroad
since that time. For the past thirteen
months he has been employed In n black
smith shop on First uvenuo. Referring to
the statement In the morning that ho hail
been in Indiana , McDonald said that such
was not the case. Ho never had besn In that
state. The only time ho over mot Dillon
was on the 1st of May last. Ho iicv r sn'.J n
word to Dillon about Dr , Cronin ,
filarpiiey uaid that | io flrjj btjcaiaj ac
quainted with Dillon In Philadelphia years
ago. Ho bollovcd the charge against Mc
Donald and himself had been brought no ns
to make n scandal for the friends of Sulli
van. Ho had known Dillon when ho was an
obscure slipper maker , nnd had scon him co
up from that until ho had secured onnugh
> ewer to bo nblo to order the arrest of n man
.n . Tlmbuctoo or China , BO long ns ho was a
Sullivan man , In regard to McDonald ,
Mnroncy said ho had been acquainted with
him for Bomo tlmo. Whllo they were not
enemies , they were not particularly friendly.
As to the charge of murder , both denied any
knowledge of It.

whom Mrs. Mnybrlck mndo her first appearance -
anco in public on the charge of having done

citement around the new county sessions

vestigation was opened , and will bo contin
ued to-morrow , has been strung 10 the high

At 10 o'clock the presiding magis
trates took their seats. The court was
already filled with persons professionally engaged -
gaged or Interested in the case. The Jury's
jnllery was occupied by fashionably dressed
udics , whilst the public gallery contained n
mixed audience of the respectable class.
Superintendent Bryniug conducts the case
'or the prosecution , und the prisoner has the
advantage of Mr. Hickford's counsel , who
a the leading junlorat the bar in this city.
Mr. A. Bricrly , cotton broker , whoso In
timacy with the wife of tlio deceased
gentleman has brought him into unpleasant

is before the coroner , nor did ho put in nn
appearance. Another much interested per
son , however , has retained as counsel Mr.
3dgccombon behalf of Baroness Von Hogue ,
mother of the accused lady.
The court was hushed when , In response
.0 the command of Superintendent Brynlng ,
Mrs. Mnybrlck was brought Into the doclt
from below. She approached the dock rail
vith a firm stop nnd head erect. She is a
slightly built person , of medium height ; and ,
iccording to popular report , is good looklnr ,
laving light golden hair. She was shrouded
rom head to foot in a heavy black capo nnd
nothing but the chin of the prisoner was visl-
lie to the court. Her widow's veil , which
she never once lifted , completely hid the
ippor part of her laeo , A comfortable-
oolting arm chair was provided ,
and into this she settled down ,
icr head rcolining , unmoved , on the
ipholstcry , while Superintendent Brynlng
unfolded , in a succinct , concise and unbi
assed way , the whole series of startling ,
'acts already disclosed before Coroner Cross.
The examination of the witnesses was dl-
eclcd to show that the deceased took nerve
tonics containing arsenic , but the only new
: act elicited was that Brierly paid a London

DtiiiHN , Juno 12. A train continuing 1,500
persons from Armagh , composed of Metho
dist Sunday school scholars , their teachers
and relatives , was wrecked near that plnco.
It was first reported that fifty children were
killed , but later dispatehcs show the accident
was far more serious. Seventy bodies have
been taken from the wreck , nnd there nro
others burled under the debris. Over ouo
hundred passengers were Injured. Thopooplo
were going on an excursion to Warren Point.
The following particulars wore received in
regard to the accident to the oxcuislon train ;
The excursion party loft Armagh , this morn
ing , in two trains. The accident occurred nt
n point where the trams had to ascend n
grade on a bunk fifty-five feet high. The
first train ascended the grade without
trouble. The second section attempted to
ascend , but the weight proved too much for
the engine. Several cars were detached
and were allowed to run back toward "Q
the level track , but before they reached
It they came In collision with the ' ?
train from Armagh which was proceeding
nt a good rate of speed. The excursion cars
were completely wrecked. Hurt's volun
teers were soon nt hand and the dead and
wounded were taken from tlio wreck and
carried down the bank. Medical old was
called and n special tram from Belfast
brought to the scene twenty surgeons from
that city and n number of medical men from
other place * . The disaster is unparalleled
in the railroad history of Ii-olund. All the
shops in Armagh were closed this afternoon
and the people nro in goncr.il mourning. The
engineer , fireman nnd guard of the train nnd
the traffic managers und clerks woru sum
moned before a magistrate and were ro-
mundcd on a charge of being responsible for
ho accident.
The shrieks of the children were horrible.
Many were mangled beyond recognition.
There is scarcely a family In Armagh that
bus not some one dead , nnd in ninny cases
whole families were killed. Before starting
on the fatal excursion the children paraded
through the streets of Armagh with flags
nnd banners , and the town folks turned
out almost en nmsso to wish them
n happy holiday. The train consisted
of fifteen carriages. The bulk ol the
children were in the front portion of the
train. Only about a dozen children were
killed. The majority of the victims were
about twenty years of ago. They were in
the lust carriage , which wus completely
smashed. All the bodies have now been
taken from the wreck. The total killed is
seventy-two , of which sixty-four have been
idcntllled. The number oC the Injured is
about one-third of the entire number of pisj ;
scneors. Many of these uro certain to suc
cumb to the effects of their Injuries.
