IN THE TELEPHONE INVESTIGATION Determined and Despernte, SHE TELLS THE OF THE GREAT CRIME. out and Meagher's Irish Brigade. New York, July 1.—The following correspondence has passed between Ojn. F.lt Johri Porter, the National Blaine association, and the Irish brigade: , GIBBONS AT BALTIMORE. Philadelphia, July 1.—J. Ac K. Wilson, secretary and treasurer of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal company, is said to be a defaulter to the extent of 1178,000. A later report places the defalcation at between $500,000 and $600,000.' At the meeting of the board President Gilllngham read a letter which Treasurer Wilson left behind hiin, giving a full account of the defalcation. The letter states that an overissue of $815,- 260 of the tiiirtv years' mortgage of the company, of July, 1856, was made about the time the loan was first floated. The person responsible for It was Henry V. Losfey, who was then treasurer, but Wilson, who is Lesley's first cousin, knew of the crime. In 1883 Lssley got into trouble over a deficiency "bf $15,000 in his accounts. He was forced to make the $15,1)00 good, and was allowed to leave the company's service. He subsequently incurred notoriety by running away with a well-known woman. Wilson succeeded him as treasurer, and has managed to keep the defalcation secret until now, when further concealment became Impossible because the loan matures to-day and steps were being taken to meet the old bonds upon their being presented, and to convert them into a new loan. Instead of $1,993,750, i he authorized amount, Wilson knew that there would be presented by holders $2,609,010, and the overissue would, of course, become apparent. Wilson declares in his letter that he is penniless. There have been reports from time to time that he has been speculating in stocks, bnt at present there is no proof tc that effect. It is known that be was interested in building operations in West Philadelphia, but to what extent is not yet learned. He left his home at 10 o'clock last night, and probably' took a late train out of the city. At the directors' meeting he was represented by Lawyer 8. R Huey as his counsel. Dir. Huey says he knows nothing about the details of the affair, and had merely receive 1 a request to be present in the general interests of Mr. Wilson. The officers of the company have taken steps to have Wilson sought tor. The missing man is 65 years old and has been thirty years in the company's employ. The company has a capital of about $2,000,000, It was organized in 1801, and in former yean was a wealthy and important concern. Lately its revenue has been about $200,000 yearly, and net earnings about $32,000 yearly. The Philadelphia Investment company, which is the financial agent of the Canal company, announces that it is in no way involved by the defalcation. The Canal company is best known as the owner of the Ericsson line of steamers between this city and Baltimore, which run over its waterways. MADE PUBLIC.

Seeu In Catholic Kltual. Washington, July 1.—Chairman Boyle, of the Pan Electric Telephone investigating committee, submitted his report to the bouse this morning. It is indorsed by Msurs. Qaies, Eden and Hale, and is what was intended to be the majority report. The report first jroviews the press charges against the Pan Electric company, and on this topic concludes that it does not find that either the Bell company or the Pan Etectriq company, "or their cffloers, agents or employes have in any manner improperly influenced or attempted to influence officials or official - action by or through the public press." Then the Pan Electric company, its formation, character and intentions are reviewed at great length. A full history of its origin, workings and present condition is given, including a recitation of the b*nanacts of Dr. Rogers, who distributed stock to public men and attempted to gain for the oompany widespread reputation. The actions of the federal officers in the company are explained in an exonerating way. Speaking of the effort of oertaln officers of the Pant Electric company to secure the appointment of Young Rogers as electrician of the Capitol the report says: ' "What would have been the harm if Roger's had been appointed and if the telephone had been placed in the Capltoll No legislation was asked, or, so far as the committee can see, was possible in the interest of the; telephone company, and if it had been, how could the presence of Rogers and his telephones in the Capitol have inflaenoed it!" Nbwport, July 1.—The trial of Allen W. Dorsey and his wife, Maria Dorsey, for the murder of Benjamin J. Burton, irw continued. A most extraor' nv.v nr. cur red in court when it was that Mrs. Dorsey had confessed the crime to the Rev. Mahlon Van Home at the jail. Ex- Omitad States Senator Sheffield, ..who had been iwnintlng in the defense, arose and slid that be could go on with the oase no longer, and the excitement was increased. Women sobbed, men turned pale, and there was intense excitement. iThe Rev. Mr. Van Home took Om stand, and gave this testimony: .„ ► Baltimore Juno 30.—Baltimore has become the Cardinal city of the United States, and Archbishop Gibbons is invested with the scarlet beretta, with all tho magnificent ceremonial of the Roman liturgy.' Just twenty-five years ago John Gibbons was ordained a priest in the chapel of St. Mary's seminary, in this city, by Archbishop Kendrick, and on this, his silver jubilee, he ,received from thi hands of the venerable I Archbishop of St. Louis, the insignia of his i sigh digni y. The ceremony took place in the cathedral. In which as apostolic delogate he so recently directed the deliberations uf the Plenary counci'. Long before the hour appointed for the ceremony the streets contiguous to the cathedral were thronged. J. D. Stockbridge, President To which Gen. Porter respond© 1 as follows:I am In receipt of your telegram of yesterday In which, on behalf o( the "National Blaine Republican association." you tender me hearty congratulations upo.i the recent assurance that "truth is mighty and wit( prevail" I must, of coursj, understand you as referring to the recent aci Ion of congres* in my case. I heartily thank you for ycur prompt and hearty recognition of the imperial justice of that action. I apprec a'e more highly this expression of your views when I consider that, although I am no political partisan, I am counted among UtOse who, In their politics, are arrayed against that party you so ably repreirnt. Fits John Porter. At noon a Lake Shore engine was stopped tekind the Chicago Packing anil Provision umpany's slaughter house. A crowd ot at east 3.000 employee! gathered in the vicinty. The windows of the packing house immediately beside the train were thronged with workmen, who began to yell at the officers, awl the wildest excitement prevailed. (pome offal was thrown from the windows,' and struck on one of the throe Pinkerton men who were on the top of the car. This was the. signal for a shower of stones and club*, which were thrown from the windows and root of the building. Officer Mike Bagley was struck on the jaw by one of the clubs and was seriouslyinjured the Pinkerton men laised their rifle«, but were restrained by a deputy sheriff. A shot at that aooment would undoubtedly hare precipitated a serious riot. The crowd was finally broken up whan the whistles summoned ttDem tack to work at 12:80 o'clock. The train was started up, and moved behind Armour's and Murphy's packing houses amid a shower of missiles, which did no damage. "I received a aiessage from Sheriff Easton laat night saying that Mrs. Dorsey, with whom I was well acquainted, wanted to m me. I went to the Jail and a* her In an upper room. Maria said U was very trying Car her to have to lit in the court, and she would be glad to get back to Howard, where the Jail is. I asked her if she did not expect to get clear, and she said 'No.' 8be said she had been too gnilty; that her father had been a kind father, and that she had no hope and no desire to go anywhere except back to Howard, where she expected to stay for tha rest of her life. Bhe told me she dasired to tell the whole troth, for there was a mat load on her mind. She was pursuing (his coarse because she hoped to piyteot her hoi band. The veterans of Gen. Meaghera IriCh brigade held a meeting at the armory of the Sixty-eighth regiment on the night of the 27th Inst, and pawed resolutions, aa old comrades of the army of the Potomac, congratulating Gen. Porter that "the cloud which political trickery had cast over hi* name and fame has after twenty-four yean been obliterated by congress." SPORTING EVENTS. It seems evident that the Shore strikers are determined to make a long and bfMer fight. Many of the railroad iployee sympathies with them and expreai the belief that the strike has only begun, and that the company will not be able to j hold out as long as Its enemies will be ahle I to annoy them. On the other hand, the' officials of the road declare their determination to light the battle to the end if it takes a thousand policemen. "She then Mid she had knowledge of and had given her oonsent to the crime. She ■aid it was the outcome of the conversation her father had with her, reproving her for household matters. He had alio told her that she and her husband must leave the house. Bhe and her husband determined to ■have revenge.

She was very nervous. Bhe said she was there three or four ■linntea. She heard a fall Upon returnlag to her house she saw Emily. Emily said her father was dying. Dorsey said he might not be dead and propoeed giving him another shot. Mrs. Dorsey would not allow this. They went into the kitehen, and Mrs. Dorsey went and plaoed her face on her father'n forehead. She said she hoped he was still living. Dorsey felt his pulse and then said he thought he was about dead.

He thought probably some opposition to executive sessions with closed doors had arisen from unrecognisable reports of what had been said or done by senators. He paid his respeots to the newspaper correspondents, end did not think it would cause them any profound grief to learn that what they had Kaid about an executive sees Ion was all wrong. He hoped senators would continue to pursue the even tenor of their way, and not feel too ambitious to have all that they said and did daily reported in The Congressional Record.

On the extreme right of the last line was Couir, Mucciola, in the brilliant uniform of the Noble guard.

The committee does not so regard the matter. Least of all could this suit so result to the benefit of tbe Pan Electric Telephone company, as many inventions preceded that of Roger's. The effect would be to throw the market open to all companies All would probably do something, but the one having the best instruments and being the best managed would probably have the greatest degree of success.

Dublin, July 1.—The mail train which left Belfast fcr Dublin yesterday, ran off the track while running at a high Ate of speed near Portadown. Several carriages were demolished and eight persons killed outright. Twenty persons were injured, S3veral of them so seriously that they will probably not recover, The wounded persons were oared for at Portadown. The accident was caused by the expansion of the rails from the excessive heat of the sun. The engine driver and the guards have bean arrested, kut it is not thought, generally, that they are at all to blame for the acoident Speaking of the inventions and Intentions of the "Rogers family, the report says: "Dr. lingers testified that he was poor, always poor, but hoped to become ricb through his son's patents Whether J. H. Rogers was la better circumstances than his father the qommittee did not learn. It appears that, notwithstanding he had obtained patents for what are conceded to be at least great improvements on previous telephone instruments, he had not been able to put them in use, and desired help to do so. The gentlemen to whom he had assigned interests were men of the highest character—some lawyers of known ability, some soldiers of distinction and others men In high positions. That Mr. Rogers expected to profit by all these conditions is doubtless true; that he thought the standing given to these gentlemen by their official positions would be of service to him may be admitted, and that they expected their skill as lawyers, their reputations as men of integrity, and even their official positions, supposed to be the best of their kind, into public use, and thus make them of great value, need not be denied. But did they intend to use their powers as publio officers to further the private enterprise in which they engaged? Did they intend to prostitute their honorable reputations and their high positions to foist ahd impose upon the government or the publio worthless inventions, and to obtain money by fraudulent and dishonest pracUossI In other words, di£ these men, to whom wrongdoing had never before been imputed, and who are regarded now by those who hav» given the widest circulation to the charges against them, as guilty of no "venality,' but at most of an Impropriety,' intend to become, and did they become scoundrels all at oncet" Seven Vaoaneles on the Jnrjr.
