Chicago, June 1.—Kx-Ward on of Cook County Hospital McGarigle, the alleged boodler, for a long time a fugitive from justice in Canada, walked into Judge Shepard's court and gave himself up McGarigle was accompanied by Francis Adams, hi» attorney, and States Attorney Longnocker. To a reporter the fugitive said: "I came back because I was sick of Canada and wanted to live in Chicago." McGarigle was allowed to plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy, and a fine of $1,0 )0 was at once imposed. When McOarigle fled to Canada nearly two years ago, he was under sentence of two w. J. m'oa-HIGLk. years in the penitentiary, but a petition for a new trial Was pending in the court-". After his departure the petitions for a new trial in his ca-e and that of Eld McDonald weru denied. McDonald's case went before the supreme court and the decision of the lower court was reversed. The action of Judge Shepard was simply the granting of a new and immediate trial to McGarigle and the imposing of a fine on his plea of guilty. The fine and costs in the case were at once paid by E. J. Lehman and McGarigle was free. To Investigate the Needs of the N«-w York PottolHo*.

At 10:30 a dispatch was received by General TManager Pugh, dated Wilmore, from the conductor of the east bound New York and Chicago limited, which left Pittsburg at 7 o'clock, saying the train was safe and that all were well on board. Mr. Pugh inferred from this that the limited was laid up somewhere west of Lillys. The conductor reported that the bridge at South Fork was washed away, anJ expressed the opinion that all the bridgej between South Fork and Johnstown wou d bo swept away. The Chicago and New York day express and ail other east bound trains are supposed to be laid up between Cresson and Pittsburg. When Mr. Pugh was showt. a copy of the press dispatch from Pittsburg announcing the breaking of the dam near Johnstown, he said that this report confirmed a dispatch received from VVilmore, which said that a man had reported to the Pennsylvania railroad operator there that the South Fork dam tyad broken and the waterhead carried away the "coal tipple" and telegraph tower at South Fork stattcn, and also a portion of an east bound freight train. The telegraph operator who was in the tower managed to escape, but several of th\ traiu hands are reported to have been drowned. OVER 200 LIVES LOST.

New York, June L—The governing committee of the Stoc': Exchange rang what they believe will be the death knell of the bucket shops and the opposition exchange by ordering the "tickers" out of the building. The action caused much excitement on the "street." For years the exchange has endeavored to control the quotations of stocks and bonds made on its floor, and to prevent the bucket shops and the Consolidated Exchange from using them as a basis on which to trade. Two companies, the Gold and Stock and the Commercial, have supplied the quotations.

A meeting of the governing committee of the Stock Exchange was called to meet yesterday at 1:30 p. m. Every member present in the city was • in attendance. It was decided not to renew the contracts with either of the ticker companies. This was a simple but effectual way of shutting both the ticker companies out of the exchange. At 8 o'clock Vice Chairman Morse read the brief announcement that tho governing committee had decided not to renew the ticker companies' contracts, and that provision had been made to supply members with quotations. For five minutes the exc.tement was intense. It was victory after years of defeat, and the cheering was vociferous.

General Manager Pugh said that he could not understand what was meant when ho received dispatches announcing damage to the tracks at Lillys. "Such a th.ng had never been heard of before," said he, "and nothing short of a waterspout cculd have caused such damage. Lillys is a mining town of about 3U0 or 400 inhabitants. For the water to rise high enough to obstruct the passage of trains is unprecedented. A dispatch just received by me says that the water is rushing over the tracks at a height of at least five feet above the road bed, and this, I say, cou d be brought about by nothing short of a waterspout. I have no doubt, if- our operator at Song Hollo"w said he saw the bodies from Johnstown floating down the river as reported, that it is true, as his tower is located right on the bank of the river." Five Feet Above tlie Road Bed. Melancholia was the predominant feature in Dr. Gage's ailment, and several times he had observed to his friends: "What if I should go mad and kill myself?" This and similar remarks were repeated to the hospital authorities at the time of his admission, and it is said that he expressed some fear of himself while an inmate of the Institution.

It contained a population of about 7,000 souls, and bad several extensive works. John McKeogh, an attorney, is supposed to know more about the conspiracy thin he has told Chief Hubbard. 8a many things are being traced to the named camp, or Columbia club, that the police want a list of the member*.

They gathered in groups on New street and Exchange place, and gazing up at their magnificent new building muttered curses loud and deep. The business of the Consolidated of late has fa leu off greatly and the price of seats in that exchange has declined very much. Today a seat was offered for $300, but after 3 o'clock, when the decisio.i to take away the tickers was known, a gentleman was lit ai d to remark that they would be dear at any price, All the big bucket shop people got away from the street as quickly as possible, and their views were not ascertained, They are always expecting a blow from some quarter, so it is presumed they were not surprised. There are, at a low estimate, 150 bucket shops in New York and Brooklyn, and placiug the average busness of each at 1,000 shares a day, taking the big and little, it will be seen a big gambling field has been closed up.
