The Portfolio Given William Chicago, June 27.—The sensation of the day was the announcement that Lawyer John F. Beggs, ex-president of Camp 20 of the Clan-na Gael, by which body it is held that the physician's death was decreed, and who was deposed from the presidency of the Irish-American club a few nights since, had been placed under arrest. Investigation developed the fact that he had been taken from his lodgings shortly after midnight and locked up in the Warren avenue station. He was brought down to the court house in a patrol wagon, strongly guarded by police, and ushered without delay into the presence of the grand jury. For an hour or more a volley of questions were fired at him, but to all e vasive replies were returned. He par- refused to admit that shortly before Cronin's murder he had made a bitter speech in Camp 20 denouncing the physician as a British spy. At the conclusion of his examination he was returned to the police Breathed His Last. Johnstown, Pa., June 27.—The coroner's inquest with reference to the victims of the flood was resumed. The particular inquest is upon the body of Mrs. Ellen Hite, drowned. Mechanical Engineer John Coffin and CoL Roberts testified that the South Fork dam, constructed throughout like the part left standing, with waste weirs kept perfectly clear, with discharge gates and under the constant surveillance of a competent engineer, was safe as long as employed to furnish water to a great public highway; but as reconstructed they would not consider it a safe structure. Even if perfectly constructed throughout, they would not consider an earthen dam safe when thousands of lives depended on its security, and whon the only reason for its existence was the pleasure of a few men.

Washington, June 27.—President Harrison has appointed William Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Germany, in place of Murat Halstead, whose appointment tUe senate did not confirm. In an interview Mr. Pheips said: "I went to the White House to pay my respects, and the president handed me my commission, at the same time expressing his thanks for my services at Berlin, and said it gave him great pleasure to be able to reward me in such a substantial manner. I had not expected an appointment in that way, and was surprised by the sudden though cordial and (rank manner In which H was done. I will not go to Berlin immediately. There is no necessity for my presence there just now. I have finished the Samoan treaty, and 'that is all there was so attend to. You can say that I am p'.eased to go to Germany, where I have already made the acquaintance of so many people, and I hope to be among them as soon as I look after some of my personal affairs in this country." Lancaster, Pa., June 27. —Gen. Simon Cameron died at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening.Lathobe, Pa., Jane 27.—Three freight trains collided at this place on the Pennsylvania railroad. Ten dead bodies have been token from the wreck, and from fifteen to twenty more are supposed to be still in the delx is. Tho French government has stopped the payment of Gen. Boulanger's pension. Boulanger will bring suit against the authorities to comjiel its payment. Tlie General's Last Moments. The condition of the general during the daj was encouraging, and death came suddenly. Up to the last attack of weakness he was conscious and took food without difficulty. Around the deathbed were ex-Attorney General MacVeagh and wife, Mrs. Haldeman, James Camei o i, Simon B. Cameron and wife, and Mrs. David Watts, a granddaughter. The funeral will take place in Harrisburg, but the date has not yet been determined upon. Just previous to the sinking spell which terminated fatally the general appeared to recoguize several friends. His general condition, while very weak, was such that the doctors had hopes that his life might be prolonged until the return of Senator Don Cameron, who cabled that he would sail from Liverpool at once. CoL T. P. Roberts, of Pittsburg, submitted a sketch of the broken dam, giving the dimensions and descriptions of the material used in its construction as disclosed by the break. He also stated that there were evidences of an overflow, and he did not believe that there was ever an earthen dam constructed that would withstand an overflow. He did not believe ti.at bad the flve discharge pipes been in place they would have added security to the dam, taking into consideration its construction; it would have gone out with an overflow; he thought that water leaking into the old culvert caused the dam to fall in, and that the breaking of the dam added tremendously to the strength of the flood; had it broken in when streams were low very little damage would have been done; the Conemaugh was in an unprecedented flood. How It Happened A large order has been sent to a French manufactory for new small bore rifles for the Russian army. Later particulars from the scene of the terrible « reek at Loyal H„nna bridge, just west of Latrobe, are to the effect that the Derry shifter had left eighteen cars standing on the bri lge, while the crew wasdrilling out loaded cars at the Latrobe coal works. The flagman, David Heacox, of the shifter, had gone to the telegraph tower, but as a heavy rain was falling at the time it is not known whether the engineer on the fast freight going west saw his signal or not. In any evont, the flagman was not back half far enough, and had bis signal been obsarved the engineer could not possibly have stopped his heavy train of forty-two pars on the down grade in time to avert the accident. station. Elmer Clough and Will Trimball have escaped by sawing through the roof of the Manchester, Vt., jail with case knives. Clough is a noted jail breaker. Both men hail from Cohoes, N. Y,, and were brought from the Albany penitentiary for trial on the charge of burglary at South Shaftsbury, Vt., last fall. Remember the number, Humors are again current that other important arrests are imminent. W. P. Lynn testified to having seen Coughlin inclose conversation with Maj. Sampson, whose story that the ex-detective offered him money to "do upM Dr. Croniii was one of the sensational features of the inquest. Nothing new or sensational was revealed by the testimony of Mr. O'Brien or the representatives of the telegraph companies. An unknown man was brought before the jurj by Capt. Sclieuttler, and it was said he was the author of the anonymous letters received by the state's attorney giving information of the "inner circle" of Camp 20 and tho con who composed it. Jfce Hera!d say8 the prosecution in the Cronin case is becoming suspicious of the loyalty of pretended friends. From the beginning of the case loud claims have been made by many members of the Clan-na-Gael that the order must be held blameless, and to this end they have seemed to use every effort to lay bare the organization in the interest of justice. The state, it is said, now has evidence that at least two or three men are no longer to be trusted, if, indeed, their conduct does not make them liable to proeecution for complicity after the fact. These men busied themselves in so osteutatious a manner with the task of revealing everything illegal in the order, that they were enabled to secure some information from the state's attorney and the police. This knowlodge, it is said, was at once taken advantage of to assist the defense. These laborers in the cause of justice caused the disbanding of Camp 20. The result of this action was tin destruction of every scrap of written record in the camp. This double dealing has really operated to the injury of the pro ecution, and the men who were responsible for it will doubtless be held to account It is stated that an officer has been dispatched to the home of the leader in the movement to disband Camp 20, and that ho will be taken into custody unless the records of the deeply entangled camp can be restored.

Simon Cameron died in his 91st year, having been born in Lancaster county. Pa,, on March 8, 1799, and was left an orphan at an early age. He received a fair English education, and began to learn the printing trade at 9. He worked as a journeyman printer in Lancaster, Harrisburg and Washington, and so improved his opportunities that in 1820 he was editing a newspaper in Doylestown, Pa., and one in Harrisburg in 1822. As soon as he accumulated sufficient capital he l.ecame interested in banking and in railroad construction in the central part of the state. He was for a time adjutant general of Pennsylvania.

Down a Forty-foot Knihnnkniont. The time of the water from the dam to Johnstown was one hour. He thought that the viaduct had acted as a dam and caused the water to rise 100 feet, causing a greater volume of water at Johnstown. The distance from the dam to Johnstown, taking the meanderings of the stream, is twelve and one-half miles. The capacity of the dam was 466,000,000 cubic feet. G. Parke, Jr., civil engineer, of Pittsburg, was at the lake when the dam broke. At 11:80 six or eight inches of water was running over the dam for a width of seventyfive feet, He was afraid it would go and rode to South fork and warn 4 the people there, and by telegraph at Johnstown of their danger, This "fas, he pontinued, until nearly 8 o'clock, whpn it ha4 puf a hole ten feet wide an4 within three feet of (t)e inner face of the dan}. Then the dam oayed in, the water rushe4 through and cut both sides of the dam until in forty-five minutes the lake was drained, There were nq obstacles in the waste weir, which was }00 'set fide. The dam was competent to stant} the pressure of the volume of wafer, but the pyerflqw washed It out, The volume of water was extraordinary, A somewhat disorderly debate resulted In the French chamber of deputies from an effort of M. Laguerre to interpellate the ministry concerning his prosecution at Angoulome. Th»- interpellation was postponed by a vote of 802 to 281, which shows a considerable gain for the Boulangists.

During this period lie acted with the Democrats on important party questious, such as the Missouri compromise bill. This was repealed in 1854, and Mr. Cameron became identified with the "People's Party," and subsequently merged with the Republicans. As the Republi 'C\n candidate he was reelected to the »nul"« for the full term of six years, beginning in 1PS7. This period covered the exciting crisis of secession, During this period he was so earnest an advocate of peace that his loyalty to the union was suspected.In fact, our stock is so large and varied that we cannot enumerate but a fraction of it.

Our department of state insisted on the perfect recognition of America's claims to bo heard, chiefly as the spokemau of humanity, as against the aggrandizing policy of Germany, and it is generally conceded that most of the downright hard work which led to the American victory has been done by Mr. Phelps.
