The Atalanta was beaded up stream , under a slow speed , with Jay Gould and several members of his family o'n board , when Captain Shackford , seeing ho was lluoly to foul the dock , gave the signal t6 the engineer to reverse the engine. Ho mistook it for a signal to go aboad full speed and the Atalanta sprang forward , cutting like a knlfo through u big rope fonder and knocking four of the twenty-four inch beams into splinters. Her Jluboom punched a hole through the cor rugated Iron sldo of the shod , breaking off three feet from the end of the boom. Tlio Atalnnta's bow mounted up on a cross beam out of the water , but whan her engines were finally reversed she pulled out or the big hole almost without a scratch.

The ctiorus Is larger , moro picturesque in grouping and nttiro than It wus originally , mid seems to grasp the idea of Its introduc tion much moro firmly than did its prede cessor. Moro pain , also , appears to have been taken in setting the piece , a cir cumstance which contributes greatly to its success. Thcro is not an objec tionable volco among the principals. Messrs.

Whatever may bo said as to the engrossing interest of the story , the "measure of success which must bo accorded the performers for their acting , the fact can not ho gainsaid that "Mr. Sampson" is a tuneful work which of itself is worthy of patronage.

Election of Officers by the Supreme Lodge Other Business. The Supreme ledge of the A. O. U. W. mot at 0:80 : a. m. , pursuant to adjournment , and at once went into committee of the whole. The question before the committee xvas : Shall each state bo empowered to divide - vide into districts in order that if ono section shall suffer a very heavy death rate , It maybe bo set off by Itself and loft to pay its own death losses without aid from without ] Ham ilton county , Ohio , is a case in point. In Cincinnati , which is within Hamilton county , the death rate for the last year has-been phenomenally largo , and there were certain other sections of the state demanding that this county bo sot apart , to live or die as the case might bo , solely that the heavy burdou of assessment mlirlit bo removed from the woritmen in moro rural parts. The matter was warmly debated , and the cntlro morning was passed without any de cision being reached. The ledge was called to order , at 2:30 : p. m. , by Supreme Master Workman Masters , and proceeded at once to the election of ofllcers for the ensuing year. The following is a list of the newly elected ofllcers : buprcmo master workman , William R. Graham , Cedar Falls , la. ; supreme foreman , W. Wnrno Wilson , Detroit. Mich. ; supreme overseer , J. W.

The election of ofllcers being disposed of the lodco again went into committee of the whole to consider the amendment offered by the relief board. The delegates from Ohio , Messrs. Herman Baumtmch , Toledo ; J. A. Justice , Youngstown , and J. W. Henderson , Lynchburg , were very earnest in their argu ments for the amendment , and presented their case in a strong light. The lodges in Cincinnati have accented n number of mem bers who were very "bad risks1 , and as n consequence , the death rate has boon ab normally high , causing thoordor in that state to full into disfavor on account of the number of assessments. Many of tlio members are of the opinion that the Ohio lodges should bo loft to fight their own battle in a trouble which they have brought upon themselves. The matter Is ono of great importance , ns it affects the working plan of the entire order. The question was warmly debated , and ad journment was taken without reaching any decision. At 7:30 : p. m. the various lodges of this city and South Oxialia assembled for the parade , which started from Sixteenth and Harnoy. First came three of the mounted police , followed - lowed by a platoon of police under Sergeant Slgwart. After these came the Union Pacific band , closely followed by the "team" from Topoka.

The police have under surveillance In the Cronln case another sus pect ngainst whom they hope to ecu -o ovl- donco which will connect him with the con- uplrncy. When the Carlson cottage was ex amined and the foot prints in the fresh paint on the Jloor were discovered , a shoemaker wrote to the police offering valuable sugges tions. Ho said a well known Irishman and a Claii-na-Gaol man , whoso name ho had soon , mentioned in the papers in connection with the murder , was n customer of his , and that bo had very peculiar foot. A plceo of the floor of the cottaga with stocking-foot prints on it was cut out nnd taken to the pollco headquarters nnd compared with a tracing of his foot In pos session of the shoomakor. They were found c IJ ! to correspond nlmost exactly In sbo and 11' slmpo. Ever slnco this discovery was made / tha man has boon closely watched by the pollco , nnd Is so guarded that he can not leave the city. The shoemaker's tracing nnd a fragment of the flooring urojn the hands of the grand jury. The books of the Chicago National banit were called for by the Cronln grand Jury , to-day , and the hour was spent examining the accounts of Alexander Sullivan , and In comparing the dates of curtain chocks with the dates of Sullivan's operations on the board of trade. Evidence was given to show Coughlln's intimacy with various suspects , nud to his frequently expressed animosity to Cronln. W , P. Hutflold , a salesman at Roquoll & Co.'s , thought the resemblance of the man who bought the furniture for the Carlson cottage and the photograph of Burke was strong , but was not positive of Identity. A number of subptunas were Issued just before noon , and it was reported that the jury had obtained a complete list of the membership of camp 20 , Clnunn-Guol , com monly Itnuwn as the Columbia club , and had directed a subpajna of every member of that organization. It was from this cam ] ) that Crbnin was expelled a couple of years ago on the r.harga of treason. John R. Wulsli , president of the Chicago National bank , who was receiver for the broker linn of Rosonvolt & Co. , after their failure in 1837 , was before the grand jury nearly an hour explaining the operations of Alexander Sullivan on the board of trade in 18S2 and 1SS3 , as indicated by the books of the linn. It was reported that so far as Mr. Walsh's knowledge extended Sullivan ex perienced no severe loss. A number of other witnesses were examined , but nothing of iniuortauco was learned. It Is probable the Jury will complete its labors this wook. Nearly all the evidence within roach of the state's attorney has been produced , nnd un less the police succeed in capturing Coonoy within the next forty-eight hours or discover moro implicating evidence , the jury will doubtless render its final report on the case Saturday.
