Dr. Joel Swariz, is the loss of the revenue cow derived from the saloon 1 censes under the Brooks law. This revenue amounted to $1,- 837,969 in 1888. That such loss would not amount to one-fortieth of the lose which Is every year sustained by the State ai the result of the liquor traffic is shown by the following figure*, compiled by Dr. Wm. Hargreaves, an eminent Philadelphia statistican of recognized fairness and ability : LOST EVERY TEAR IN THE t'NITID STATES TOOK THE ASSOCIATION. Orders were placed within a few minutes for the entire amount of the requisition, amounting to about $8,000, and the first shipment was made in the afternoon. In this connection Mr. Reuben Miller remarked that such orders as this one furnished the best refutation needed of the reports current that there is a superabundance of r.uppiies at Johnstown, and every reason why contributions should be continued right along for the present. Hureafter the railroads leading to Johnstown will be relieved of the embargo placed upon them by the general relief committee,and people can come and go at pleasure without first securing the special order and a handful of passes that have been necessary.

The produotive labor of 2,138,891 175,COO,oOO Contributions to the relief fund continue to come in with encouraging regularity, but the amounts are growing smaller. Fear is expressed that the action of the governor in undertaking the entire charge of the diadistribution of the fund will tend to interfere with subscriptions. Up to last night the amount received by the treasurer was $505,- 600. The petition sets forth that the verdict of the coroner's jury, on tho strength of which he was committed, is insufficient to hold him and deprive him of tho benefit of bail. The evidence produced before the coroner's jury on which the vordict was rendered was insufficient to justify the commitment on any charge. There was no competent evidence, direct or circumstantial, offered or admitted against the patitioner tending to prove that he was guilty of Dr. Cronin's muider or accessory thereto, or bad gu lly knowledge thereof or knowledge of any plot or conspiracy to accomplish the same. The coroner also permitted a large liuiUbor of witnesses to testify to statements alleged to have been mode by Dr. Cronin in his lifetime as so what Cronin suspected in relation to Sullivan, and that the coroner permitted a large amount of incompetent and wholly irrelevant testimony to be introduced before the jury calculated to prejudice the jury against him without shedding any light on the question being investigated. The verdict, so far as it reflected on the conduct of Sullivan, was the result of passion and prejudice, created by the incompetent and irrelevant testimony admitted by the coroner. Sullivan saus he is not guilty of the crime with which he is charged and that he has had no connection whatever w ith the murder of Dr. Cronin. 1,192.

The wrecked train contained 1,200 persons, composed of Methodist Sunday school scholars, their teachers and relatives. They were going on an excursion to Warren Point, a watering place at the mouth of the Newry river, County Down. Over seventy dead bodies have been removed from the wreck and it is believed that many more are buried beneath the debris. The number of injured is very large. The accident occurred at a point where the trains had to ascend a grade on a bank fifty feet high. The first train ascended the grade without trouble. The second section attempted the ascent, but the weight of the train proved too great for the engine. Several cars were detached and allowed to run back towards the level track, but before they reached it they came in collision with the third train from Armagh, which was proceeding at a good rate of speed. The excursion cars were completely wrecked. X Over Seventy Bodies Removed. A Minister'* Strange Actions. $300 a ytar, 9 Cost of supporting 39,481 prisoners at $100 a year, made such by drink, 10.

Charles H. Smith, the missing clergyman of Dorchester. There were no charges on which he could be longer held. Mr. Smith, who has been fully identified by college friends, appears to be all right mentally, and is working on one of the San Francisco newspapers. He expresses no desire to communicate with his wife and other relatives, nor with the church people. This seems very odd to those who know him, and looks as if he was unwilling to return to his friends or is still mentally unbalanced. BUTTER—By the tub - 20« By the pouDd 20c.

Woodstock, Conn., June 13.— The programme for the Fourth of July celebration at Roseland park is just announced, and includes the address of welcome by Charles A.

In other words, the people of this county lost over 21 times as much through the continuance of the traffic in intoxicants as they received from licenses. And with our great number of saloons the loss is doubtless much more.

Later in t!ie day Sullivan appeal e.l in court and promptly agreed to leave the evidence of the coroner's jury with the court to decide if it were suffio out to hold him. The court said he would consider it legally without prejudice, but could not promise to get through with the matter before Friday morning. Mr. Sullivan was remanded, therefore, until 10 o'clock Friday morning, at which time the court thinks he will have finished reading the evidence. If the evidence is not sufficient in the court's opinion, Judge Tuley can discharge Sullivan, if no indictment is returned by the grand jury, and admit him to bail if there is an indictment. has there been gathered within the walls of St. Peter's church so brilliant an assemblage as that to witness the marriage of Miss Bessie Rochester Porter, daughter of Mrs. A Augustus Porter, to Lieut.

Another account of the disaster says that the engineer of the second train, finding his engine powerless to pull the train up the steep grade, unlinked several of the cars, with the object of taking the front portion of the train to the next station and returning for the remainder. Heavy stones were placed behind the wheels of the detached cars to prevent them from slipping, but the locomotive on restarting gave the entire train a shunt that displaced the stones. The result was that the detached cars began to slip backward down tho grade, their speed gradual y increasing until they had attained a frightful velocity. After running four miles they crashed with terrific force into the third train at a point about a mile and a half from Armagh.

Mr. Bayard is not in Washington. Once more the pictures were shuffled, and this time they were shown to Expressman Mar ten son, who carried the furniture from the Clark street rooms to the Carlson cottage in Luke View, where Dr. Cronin wus murdered. The result was the same—Moroney's picture was selected, this time as the man who had the furnitu em ved. Nei:her of these pernors knew what had been done by the other. In each of these cases the man gave his name as J. B. Simm »ns. It now remains to be set n whether or n »t the Carls ns will reco^niZi him as one of the alleged brothers named Williams who rented the cottage. SUMMER MILLINERY The New South Fork Viaduct.
