The people tnrned out in overwhelming num bers to see the Chief Magistrate and witness the picturesque spectacle, and from one end of the long line of march to the other the sidewalks were blocked with spectators, while probably more than 100,000 were massed in the vicinity ot the grand stand in Washington Park, between Myrtle and Dekalb avenues, and on the grassy slopes of Fort Greene, which commanded a fine view of the procession. When the forma tion was made a message was sent to the Presidental party by the Signal corps, and the reception which had been in pro gress at Mr. Knapp's hous e for a couple of hours was brought to a close.

On the approach of the President the line was formed to the left, and dressed back to the curb, and the President was then driven slowly from the left to the right of the line, each' organization saluting as he passed, and a score or more bandsjplaying successively, Hail to the Chief." "When the President had passed the col umn was immediately reformed, and as soon as he had taken his place on the reviewing stand the march past was begun.

The Rev. Dr. Talmage, as chaplain, rode on a gray charger with tie staff of the Thir teenth Begiment, and attracted much atten tion from the crowds on the sidewalks. As Justice Courtney, President of the Volun teer Fireman's Association, raised his silver trumpet in salute to the President, one of the boys imitated the crowing of a rooster in fine style, and evoked a smile from the President. This was followed by ringing cheers, which continued until the old fire men had filed by and the procession was over. The crowd cheered all along until the President and his party were driven ofE The Presidental party was escorted to Brooklyn bridge by U. S.

All the light of the sun that brightened the afternoon was curtained from the city in the early morning by the mists that swung even down to the tops of buildings and dampened, with their clammy touch, the house walls and street stones. The people looked- from their windows and were depressed by the wet and muggy scene out of doors. The reviewing party iad seats on the Worth monument stand. This was the party: Governor Hill, Mayor Grant, Yice President Morton, General Howard, the Christian soldier; General Jackson, Con gressman McKinley, Judge Van Hoesen, and the staff of Governor Hill. It was exactly 9:47 A. ta. when the first of the procession came by. It started at Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street, where the regulars formed, the Grand Army men forming in the side streets down to Forty seventh street. There were about 9,000 men in line, and the last went by Governor Hill at 11:08 o'clock. Of the 81 minutes occu pied in passing the reviewing platform 28 were taken by the United States regulars and the soldiers of the militia regiments, 47 by the Grand Army of the Bepublic vet erans and the few miscellaneous organiza tions behind them, and the other'six min utes were lost in the halts and breaks in the line. The parade was over a few minutes after 11 o'clock, and the Old Guard put on their .bearskins and wheeled around to guard the distinguished trio of reviewing officers on their departure from the' stand. The car riages came up and the Yice President and the Governor were about stepping from the stand when the noise of a hustling band came from the avenue. The big men stopped on their way to the carriages, and got ready to do some more reviewing. Sure enough there came a band, and behind walked the red-shirted men of the Ninth ward TJ. S.

As a general thing the rain which was promised and expected did not appear until after the decoration exercises were com plete: In the evening at the meeting in this city, the Mayor presiding, Major William McKinley delivered an address, in which, without disparagement to military leaders, he dwelt upon the fact that the privates ot the late war had constituted the mighty force that rendered strategy ot use- EIGHT OTERTHE DEAD. Rival Soldier Oranizations Have Trouble Over the Decoration of the Graves nt Chicago Threats of Violence Freely Used, but No Bloodshed. Chicago, May 30. Decoration Day in Chicago was marked by an unusual scene growing out of 111 feeling between rival fac tions of old soldiers. In Oakwood Cemetery there are hundreds of Union and Confeder ate soldiers buried. It was arranged that the decoration services were to be under the charge of the Grand Army men, and special care was taken to protect their rights, as two years ago the Old Soldiers and Sailors' Association had taken posses sion of the grand stand and placed their "flags over the graves. The two organiza tions are at swords' points, it being claimed by the Grand Army men that the members of the 0. S. S. A. are expelled members of the Grand Army and, therefore, persons with whom they cannot associate, even in doing homage to the dead. As the train bearing the Grand Army men was unloading its cargo of living freight and before the Grand Army guard had been placed around the Soldiers' Home plot, Captain W. H. Mahoney and his brother drove" up with two floral pieces marked: "In Memoriam, 0. S. and S. A., Camp Douglas." One was for the Confeder ate soldiers' graves, the other for the Union dead. Past Commander McDonald, of the G. A. Bf post of Epglewood, was in charge of the plot. He stepped in front of the Mahoney brothers. "Get away from here; you can't put any of your decorations here; the Grand Army is attending to the decorations," he said. "We havens good a right to leave a trib ute from the O. S. and S. A. here as you have and propose to do itf ' 'Well, you can't bring it in here," re plied the Past Commander. The two brothers laid down their floral pieces, but McDonald pnshed them back. Then there was a scuffle. The Mahoneys became desperate. '"We'll take that in or there will be a dead man here," said one and as some of the G. A. E, men arrived, McDonald was per suaded to allow it to be placed on the plat. Threats were made that it would be de stroyed by the Grand Army men. "Then I'll kill the first man that dares touch it," said one of the brothers. The crowd approached. The Mahoneys watched the piece awhile, but no one interfered with it and they drove over to the Confederate lot with the other floral piece, Leonard. lint Accepted' tho Bishopric. Washington, May 30.

All the Points Claimed by the United States Practically Conceded Ib 'the Position Bow the Government of the Islands Will be Condncted In the Future. Bebmn, May 30. The Samoan confer ence yesterday discussed the harbor rights of the United States in Samoa, and the con ditions under which merchandise "may be imported. The intention is to allow the Samoans all possible facilities. The con ference also 'settled the matter of Germany's demand on Samoa for indemnity. The American Commissioners are awaiting in structions from the Washington Govern ment They expect them next week. The commissioners will not sign the convention until it is received. It is stated that by the terms of the treaty the Government of Samoa is to be exclu sively native in its composition, and none of the treaty powers wili have any voice in the government of the town (Apia) further than that granted to them in the general control of the Samoan Islands, The leading clause in the treaty insures the absolute autonomy of the islands, guaranteeing to the natives not only a predomi nating influence in every government al body, but restricting the treaty powers from representation upon the Sa moan Council, or Ministry Secretary Bay ard had favored such a representation. The treaty further provides lor a sort of advisory council to consult with the native King when necessary. In view of the large com mercial interests of the United States and Germany, each of these countries will be allowed a full-fledged member, but En gland's representative will act only in the character of an arbiter or umpire when the German and American Ministers fail to agree. The Constitution of the Government of the island is provided for, and in this feat ure Secretary Bayard's proposition to the first Samoan conference has been virtually adopted as a whole. The islands are to be governed by the native King and Yice King elected by the Samoans. These two officials, together with the chiefs of the Samoan fam ilies, or clans, will compose an upper house of the native Legislature. This upper house is styled the Taimua. The lower house. orPaioule. is to be made ur of na tive Samoans, chosen by the people, upon the basis of one representative for every 2,000 people. The treaty guarantees the restitution of the status quo ante and rein statement of Malietoa as King of Samoa. This point was long resisted by the German representatives in the plenary conference, but was finally conceded. BEFOEE THE COMMISSION. A Number oflrl.h Leaders Testify in Be half or Their Country. London, May 30. At a meeting of the Parnell Commission to-day the first witness was Mr. Arthur O'Connor, member of Par liament. He testified that while he was in Indianapolis last year General Harrison, now President of the United States, said that every honest man and lover of liberty would rather share the company of Mr. William O'Brien in Tnllamore Jail than thatof the Viceroy in Dublin Castle. Mr. O'Connor said that when he took office in the League he found many of the books fragmentary and in arrear. It was impossi ble to do anything with them. He did not know whether the books which the Govern ment seized during the administration of Chi,ef Secretary Forster had been -destroyed. President Judge Hannen ordered that in quiries be made about these' books. Mr. O'Connor ..repelled as calumny the sugges tion that the tenants had. understood his ad vice to them to boycott land grabbers as a hint to murder or use violence upon them. He admitted saying that it was-not unnat ural that a man who saw his family flung into the roadside should shoot the evictor. Mr. Justin McCarthy, member of Parlia ment, was the next witness. He testified to the horror and dismay which the Phoenix Park murders had caused among the Par nellites. STRIKEEB STILL OBSTINATE.

The miners hold a meeting to-morrow to appoint relief committees to aid the destitute families of the striking miners. The men say they will never go to work at the reduced price, but will compromise on a 5-cent instead of a 10-cent reduction. "Garibaldi," the leader, has not yet been captured. Three of the Italians arrested and held have been released by Sheriff Hus ton. This is condemned by Colonel Ben nett, because arms and knives were found on them. A D1SASTE00S BDNAWAY.

While the procession was returning from the cemetery this morning a team became frightened and came tearing down the street and into the line of carriages. They made a turn that brought the wagon in contact with a light wagon in which were three women and five children. Both wagons were thrown into the air and came down together in a heap. The occupants of the wagon which was run into were injured, and two or three of them will die. The injured are Mrs. S. A. Sheak, Mrs. Oharles White and infant, Mrs. W. L.

Chief of Police Hub bard as much as admitted to-night that his officers were on the eve of a great move in the Cronin mystery. It is said that the man who drove the Doctor away from his home on the fatal night has been identified and that the murder conspiracy has been traced to Camp 96 of the Clan-na-Gael, which used to meet in the Northside Turner Hall. It is claimed on the best of authority that all the members of this camp will be brought before' the grand jury and a strenuous effort made to compel them to give up the secrets which they are known to hold. The men-who have the case in hand were in consultation to-night at Chief Hubbard's room, When the meeting adjourned Chief Hubbard said thatwhilehe could give no details it was true that his men had at last struck the right trail. He admitted that the murder was inspired and carried out' by Clan-na-Gael men, and de clared that all the conspirators, if not the actual murderers, would be captured before the end of the week. SULLIVAN HA8 A XiAWTEE. It is authoritatively stated that Alexan der Sullivan has engaged A. S. Trade as counsel, and that within the last three days the two have held several long conferences. "What about your retention by Alexan der Sullivan?" was asked of Mr. 'Trade to day. "Ob, Ihavc known Alexander since he was a reporter, and I have been consulted by him He knows nothing about this Cronin affair. He did not believe he was dead, but thought he had disappeared. for the purpose of af fecting the result in the Philadelphia con vention." "This is a question of tail-pulling," con tinued the attorney. "Ton see every Irish man is trying to twist the British lion's tail, and in their ardor they get jealous and, jump on each other. In the Philadelphia convention the greatest Irish intellects in the country clashed. There was never an Irish convention in the United States in which thera. were such intrigue's and such, bitter contests, ,. .' , V HE HAS SfANf ENEMIES. "Alexander Sullivan came out on top, electing Henry' Sheridan delegate. That victory made Sullivan a mark for the jeal ousy of every prominent Irishman who did not'belong to his party. WT J. Hynes, of Chicago, used to be a friend of Sullivan. He and Judge Moran defended him in the Hanford case. But the Philadelphia vic tory cost Sullivan Hynes' friendship. This time is seized upon by his enemies to ruin him, but there will be a reaction." In talking of the alleged diversion of the fund of the Clan-na-Gael or United Brotherhood, Mr. Trade said: "That has been explained a dozen times, and in five minutes any impartial man can understand that Mr. Sullivan has been as clear from misdoing as a sunbeam." Mr. Sullivan was seen this evening by a reporter, to whom he said that he had not formally retained Mr. Trade, but had coun seled with him as a friend. IMPOETANT DISCOVERIES, It is rnmored that the police in their further search to-day of the cottage in which Dr. Cronin was murdered, found-a pick and other ice tools presumed to have been the property of P. O. Sullivan, the ice dealer. The authorities are reticent as a result of to-day's investigations and re fused to affirm or deny this rumor. The theory is advanced that it was with blows from these instruments that Dr. Cronin was so foully murdered, but when it is remembered that the notable discovery of the post mortem examination was that the skull was in no place fractured, this con jecture does not appear reasonable. The tools to-day discovered are under stood to have been hidden securely under ground and in a rubbish heap in an out room or shed adjoining the cottage. The greatest importance is attached to this re port, as it is construed into crowning evi dence of ice dealer Sullivan's complicity in the murder. Tenant Hoss is authority for the statement that Dr. Cronin's clothes were really found this afternoon and recog nized as the property of the murdered man. AFTER THE I0E DEALEE. The inference is drawn that they were found in or around Sullivan's house, as a squad of detectives are -known to have de voted nearly all of to-day in searching the premises of the ice dealer. The officer in charge of this search, in response to casual inquiries, stated at the time that no discove ries had been made, but Chief Hubbard, when confronted with the later report to night, refnsed to either affirm or deny the statement that the murdered man's apparel had fceen found. As the authorities bave usually lost no time in denouncing unfounded rumors, the conclusion is that to-day has at least wit nessed the disclosure of one valuable clew in the mystery that surrounds the fate of the murdered doctor. An old detective at the City Hall, who has been keeping tab on the case pretty cioseiy, waa reviewing ine evidence to-aay. He said: "The three men now in jail know all about the murder and could give the police the right clews which would re sult in thearrest of the actual perpetrators of the crime. But these prisoners can never be convicted of murder on the evi dence the State's Attorney now has in his possession." SOSIE ONE MUST SQUEAL. ' One of them, therefore, must squeal and it will not be Coughlin. It lies Between Sullivan and Woodruff The State's attor ney would prefer to get the ice man's story, and I think he would promise to let Sulli van off easy if he gave the whole plot away. Ifhedid give Up everything I think it would be something like this: "Coughlin made all the arrangements m the first place for the murder. Ot course he knew his men before he approached them. To Sullivan he intrusted the work of fixing up a contract with Dr. Cronin. The hiring of all hoses and rigs Coughlin attended to himself. He first met Woodraff, whom he knew to be a crook, and always ready for any shady transaction. He did not confide, anything to hiss, however, but merely told him that he wanted some work dose at an earlv hour in ib mm-nlnc. Then he audo the dikr with Dumb, about th8 rig., which his friend was; to call for'the night of May 4. A DEEP CONSPIEACT. "The Williams Brothers did all their own work, t,he hiring of the Carlson cottage and the buying of the furniture. I think that although there were at least 20 persons in the conspiracy, but two or three, hesides the actual murderers, knew that Cronin's life was to be taken. "Will the murders ever be brought to justice? The chances are as five to one against the police. WitKthe evidence thus 'far obtained there can be no convictions. -It is not at all likely that the men who com mitted the crime.itself did the actual deed are in Chicago, or even in the country. They had ample warning, and got ont of the country after the renort of the findingof'the body. . "I have another theory which, however, is not as tenable as my first one.- It may have been that there was no Clan-na-Gael conspu-aoy at all, and that another motive altogether prompted the murderers, It is possible that Ice-dealer Sullivan got some woman into trouble. That woman may have been a relative of Coughlin. Dr. Cronin became acquainted with the facts, in the case, which were very damaging to the iceman, ANOTHBE THEOBT. The latter, knowing the strict moral and religious principles otthe doctor, and urged on by a fear that the physician would in form the authorities that Sullivan was guilty of a grave erime, made the contract with the doctor which lured him tohis death. IcannotbutthinkthatWoodrufPssloryabout a woman has some foundation in fact. The police ousiht Burely.it seems to me, to lookup Sullivan's history of the last year and see if he was not involved with some woman." Chief Hubbard talked-wHh. a reporter re garding the above quoted remarks of the de tective about a woman in the case. "Yes," admitted the chief, "we have men working on that feature of the murder. Sullivan is a bachelor, and it is not at all. unlikely that he got some woman into trouble. If such is the fact we do not yet know' whether there is any connection between the circum stance and the murder of Dr. Cronin. It is being thoroughly looked into." "Do you put much faith in it?" "I do not." CHANGED' HIS BELIEF. A Methodist Clergyman Resigns to Become an Episcopalian Pastor. rSPICIAL TEXIGBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! New Yobk, May 30. The members of the West Twenty-fourth Street Methodist Episcopal Church who attended the weekly prayer meeting on Wednesday even ing were surprised at the presence of the Eev. Dr. A. J.

The announcement was a great surprise to Dr. Cookman's congregation. Dr. Cook' man, in a few words, told of the regret he felt at leaving the people of the church, and spoke of the pleasant relations between jthem since' he came "to them, a year ago.' There was no further explanation of the reasons that had led Dr. Cookman to make the change. Dr, Cookman simply said that he ielt that he had a call to join the Protestant Episcopal fold, and he had. con scientiously obeyed the mandate. "Ihavedbneth"is," Dr; G&okman said to-day, "becanse of profound religions con viction, and that is all. There is no tronble in my church,, and my relations with the Methodists are pleasant. It is a step which I have long been meditating." THE HAIHABKET H05UMENT Unveiled Upon tho Very Spot Where the Fatal Bomb Was Thrown. Chicago, May 30. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the memorial monument erected by citizens in honor of the policemen who were killed by an Anarchist bomb in the Haymarket riot on May 4, 1687, was unveiled. The ceremonies were very simple, consisting of a presentation ad dress by Mr. B. T. Crane, Chairman of the Citizens' Committee; the ceremony of un veiling by Master Degan, son of Matthias J. Degan, the first of the policemen who died from the effects of the explosion; an address accepting the monument on behalf of the city by Mayor Creiger, and a histor ical address by Mr. H. F. Head. In view of the large number of processions to the cemeteries for the purpose of decorating the Union soldiers' graves, it was decided not to have a procession in connection with the unveiling of this memorial. ' The monument consists of a pedestal sur mounted by a bronze statue of a policeman in uniform, of heroic size. The statue is the work 'of Mr. J. J. Gebert, a Chicago sculptor. The memorial stands upon the scene of the riot, at the intersection of Desplaines and West Bandolph streets, and is something over 20 feet in height.

The United States quarantine laws evi dently mean business in this State, Gov ernment quarantine officials, members of the State Board of Health, now in session here; have notified Dr. Campbell, of Latrobe, to appear before them'to-day. His alleged offense is the certification that a patient had died of lung disease, though shipment ot the corpse'to another quarter caused an epi demic of scarlet fever. AT the meeting of the State Board of Health in the Hotel Anderson yesterday, the first ripple on the surface of the proceedings developed into a veritable wave of sensation that sub merged .all other matters considered during the dayt McClelland, alt was when the Prominent Local Mem- ber. Secretary came to the point of reading a complaint from Dr. C. O. Probst, Stata Secretary of the Ohio Board of Health. The contents of this letter proved to be very in teresting, for the reason that it caused the members of the board to request a physician to appear before them and answer the charge of issuing a. false certificate of death. The detaiis of the case were explained to The Dispatch reporter by Dr. Lee in the following- manner: The Secretary of the Ohio Board of Health stated in his com munication that the corpse of a little child, named Woodruff, had been sent from La trobe, Pa., to Fredericksburg, O., and caused an epidemic of scarlet fever to break out there. The deceased had been a patient of Dr. 8. C. Campbell, of Latrobe, who set forth in his certificate that the child had died of inflammation of the lungs. Socn after the arrival of the corpse in Fredericksburg, however, 13 cases of scarlet fever broke out there, causing death to several people; and, from that fact, it was supposed that the epidemic occurred on account of the alleged false representa tion of Dr. Campbell. Dr. Benjamin Lee, Of Philadelphia, offered a .resolution, that ft'jrote of severe censure -liaswd pVnthV8Cti6rrofl)r, Campbell.' QIYXKO HTM A CHANCE. But Dr. P. Dudley, of Philadelphia, suggested that it would be better to give Dr. Campbell a chance to vindicate himself, and for that purpose he offered a resolution to telegraph Dr. Campbell and summon him before the board to answer the charge. This resolution was adopted, and the tele gram was immediately dispatched. Dr. Campbell will' have to be here to-day, or submit to the severe censure proposed. The reporter-asked whether the board had any right to take such action, and Drs. Dudley and Lee explained that they had, inasmuch as they were Government officers, and any refusal to comply would be 'pun ished with a fine of 5100. "It is the least we can do to ask him to come here," said one of these doctors, "and, if he does not, we will probably give the case into the hands of the District Attor ney." The Secretary also read a letter and circu lar from the General Baggage Masters' Association of the United States, referring to the transportation of dead bodies, and the board adopted the rule suggested by the baggagemen at their last congress in San Francisco, which specifies that all deceased persons, having died of a contagious or infectious disease, shall be transported in a hermetically sealed box. A terrible state of affairs was reported by the secretary from Gallitzin, where numer ous cases of diphtheria were constantly to be found on account of the terrible filth, bad drainage and sewerage existing in that place, and Dr. Lee added, that such a state of affairs could not be remedied until a better sanitary system had been adopted in that town. YELLOW JACK AHD CTJABANTrHE. A very interesting feature of Dr. Lee's report was his experience as United States Commissioner to investigate the causes of the yellow fever scourge in Florida. Dr. Lee stated that Jacksonville especially was in a very unfortunate fix,. on account of its situation in the swamps, its bad drainage and its inferior sewerage. He also called attention to the river at Jacksonville, which was so slow in its flow as to cause the germs of disease to generate. Dr. Lee also made a statement of his action as a United States Commissioner, ap pointed by the Secretary of State, to locate a quarantine station at. the Delaware Break water. He did not want to make a detailed renort. because he had not vet reported to the Secretary of State; but, for the benefit of the newspapers, he said: "We have recommended the quarantine station to be established at Lewis, in con nection with the United States Marine Hospital and the hospital for yellow fever patients. Other buildings for infectious diseases we have reported in favor of erect ing, and they will probably be put up dar ing the summer. A swift ana seaworthy yacht has been provided to enable the in spectors to reach the vessels in rough weather. A fumigating steamer is already being built at Wilmington, Del., and in an other year we expect the quarantine station to be in first-class working order. "This institution will be one of the ut most importance to Pennsylvania, on ac count of the many ships which constantly enter the port of Philadelphia and land im migrants for the entire country, We have fought for the establishment of this institu tion ever since the Board of Health has been organized." VEBT WELL EQUIPPED. There are now 15 Health Inspectors in the Btate, which makes thejlst pt officers com plete, two new ones having lately been ap pointed, one inthe Schuylkill district and another in the' Juniata district At this initial session of, the twelfth an nual meeting of the State there were, among the more emi&ent delegates, besides Drs.

Among these details Dr. Lee mentioned how the typhoid fever epidemic at the Mc Allister Soldiers' Orphan School hadbeen .wiped out; how the tub of diphtheria at New Bethlehem had been stopped, and how the epidemio of smallpox at Cameron' Chutes, near Emporium, iiad been effaced. . This closed the morning session" and' In the afternoon Dr. Lee continued to read the details'of his report. Then followed the lively proceedings noted above. A report was received of a nuisance on the premises of the Pittsburg and Xake 'Erie Railroad at McKee's Bocks, arising from a pond of one and a half acres, caused by in terference with a natural water course, which has' resulted in the production of a considerable amount of malarial disease. Th e board ordered that an immediate inspec tion be made. A charge was also received that a false certificate had been issued by a physician of ilcKeesport, in order to permit' the trans portation of a corpse to the State ot Mary land, On motion this physician, like the.one noted above, was notified to meet the board and make answer to. the charge. A EIOT IN A COME GE. Exciting Scenes at the Geneva Commence ment at Beaver Falls The Son and Daughter of a Pittsburg Clergyman Mot Allowed to Gradaate An Investigation Probable. .'SPECIAL TELXOBAX TO THX DISPATCH.! Beaveb Falls, May 30. The closing commencement exercises at Geneva College, that staunch Covenanter institution, took place to-day, and was not characterized with the harmony and good will usual on such occasions. The proceedings were very stormy this morning, and in fact at onetime almost partook of the nature of a riot For a long time trouble has been brewing between the faculty and students. The whole season just closed has been a series of criminations, recriminations, petty tricks, suspensions, etc., between faculty, janitor and students. Yesterday was class day, and the bad" blood began to creep out when Will McAl; lister, a son .-of Bev. David McAllister, of Pittsburg, whose assignment upon the pro gramme was that of "artist," displayed to the delight of the" students a series of life sized caricatures of the faculty, and in a more forcible than polite way touched upon their different characteristics in sarcastic terms. This morning Dr. H. H. George in formed young MeAllister that neither he nor his sister, Miss Veda, could graduate. The announcement fell like a thunder bolt upon 'the astonished students, and when the class assembled upon the platform before the large and fashionable audience in the chapel it could be -seen that the'y were not in a happy frame of mind. All went well, however, until it came Will McAllister's' time to deliver his oration. Of course he was absent, bat the .students in the gallery and auditorium set up the yell of "Mc Allister." A scene of the greatest con fusion followed. Dr. George sprang- to his feet and demanded order, but his voice was drowned in the calls lor McAllister, cat calls and hisses. "Clear the gallery," cried Dr. George to the janitor. "Send him up here and we will throw him over the gallery," cried .the students. "Send for the police," said Dr. George, but his voice could hardly, be heard. Finally quiet was restored, and the exer cises proceeded without 'furtfar Inter ruption. A repetition of. the scenes were looked for this afternoon, but everything passed off "quietly. The whole affair will be brought before the next meeting of the .Synod and ventilated. A HYELT ARKANSAS KICK. Tho People Object to Being Called Names by an Outsider. Foet Smith, Aek., May 30. To-day was Decoration Day. Hon. Thomas H. Barnes, a prominent lawyer of this city, was orator of the day. He made a patriotic speech which was listened to with pleasure and profit by a large assemblage. After he had finished speaking Hon. 2St. Kelly, of Kansas, a stranger to the peo ple here, was introduced, and probably no people assembled on such an occasion, amid such surroundings and such fraternity of fueling, ever listened to such a speech. Among other things, he said in substance: "The State ot Arkansas is in disrepute. Comrades Benjamin-and Clayton were as sassinated in this State.because they were loyal to the flag of their country. The eyes of the entire country are upon Arkansas." He said his State Legislature had passed resolutions denouncing Arkansas and call ing upon the National Government to pro tect its people, even if it had to put it under martial law, and then continued: "I am a Congressman, and. comrades, I will see that you are protected If my influence and power can effect it, even if we have to resort to martial law." Later in the day a pnblio meeting was held, presided over by a Be- fmblican and an ex-Union soldier, and reso utions were adopted declaring that Mr. Kelly's speech was a disgrace to the Be publican party and his State, and referring with pride to the administration of the laws in Arkansas. HE WAS TIRED OP LIFE. A Dlember of New Tork's Thirteen CInh Commits Salclde. New Yobk, May 30. At an early hour this afternoon Captain C. Henry Witthans committed suicide at his home at Ko. 27 East Seventy-fifth street, by shooting him self, He had returned from the parade in his uniform of the Old Guard at noon, and went to his room to prepare for dinner. At 1 o'clock his brother ,went up stairs to call him to dinner and found him lying in a 'pool of blood, dead. He had first shot him self in the left temple with a small revolver and the bullet glanced off. Then he took a larger revolver and shot himself in the right temple. This shot finished the work. In the evening the family sent for Coroner Messrmer, who is a personal friend, and ob tained permission to out the body on ice. The suicide had an uncle who committed suicide some time ago. He was very wealthy, and 35 years of age. Besides being a member of the Old Guard, he was a mem ber of the Press Club, of the Liederkranz Society, of the Thirteen Club, and other organizations.

Hearing of the immense pronto awaiting the investment of capital in the South, Mr. Abraham Stayn took a trip.to Birming ham. In that city are a number of practical jokers, who took him in tow and had sgreat deal of fun with him, succeeding in getting him to invest. $15,000 in a chimerical enter prise, and afterward enjoying a hearty laugh at him for his gullibility. rSrXClUt CTXK3BAM TO THE DISP1TCH.1 BzBMnrGHAH, Ala., May 30. There is a worthy citizen of Birmingham who is ready to throttle the man who says "specu lation" to him. Som9 months ago Mr. Abraham Stayn moved from a neighbor ing city to this place, with the idea of making a fortune in a hurry in some of the rapid ways of which he had heard. His ex pectation was so sanguine, and he repeated them so openly, that a combination of lead ing citizens was effected against him, Mr. Carlisle Monroe, a prominent bank er, to whom Stayn had spoken on the sub-, ject of lnvestments,had promised to keep an ' eye open. Mr. Munroe is a lover of fun,' and is suspected of being the originator of the scheme, which was as novel as it was successful. In accordance with a precon certed arrangement, Mr. Munroe informed Stayn that he had discovered a good thing, but pretty much all the stock was taken, though he might squeeze him in. It was A SEW E2TXEEPBISE, which had a corner in a line that would yield immense profits, and the meeting of the projectors would' be held a week hence) for organization. - That was all Munroe was willing to divulge. If Stayn was willing ttfgo in' with this much knowledge, Mr. Munroe; might secure some of the stock for him; Stayn jumped at the proposition, and the interview ended by his giving Munroe eheck for $15,000, for which he took a re ceipt, and he was a. happy man. Some days later Stayn received a circular Tetter, "private and confidential," notifying him' to attend a meeting of the promoters of" the enterprise to which he had- subscribed. On the night fixed Stayn went to the desig nated place, a hall which-had been hired by the conspirators. The gathering embraced some of the most prominent men of the city, merchants, bankers, railroad men and others. The meeting Was called to order, and the form of electing a secretary and Committee on Credentials was carried out; The Chairman then announced that aa important communication had been re ceived from the Mobile committee, setting forth. , ftHB GBANrJ SCHEMB- which was now under way. This paper ho wen aireciea me secretary to reatf to tne meeting. The commnnicationVa heard with profound attention. The Mobile com mittee outlined the enterprise, which tho later stated was even then being put into execution. This enterprise was the purchase of an island in Mobile Bay, where thousands of monkeys were to be raised annually. The letter set forth that two cargoes had already arrived. The nlan involved the nrflna- gation of monkeys for use in the cotton- 5 fields of the South. The report stated that it had been conclusively proved 4hat' monkeys could be easily trained to 'pick cotton, and that one monkey could pick as" much cotton as three negroes. In addition it was shown the comparative cost of feed ing negroes and monkeys was greatly in; favor of the latter, whUe there would boa tremendous saving on clothing. There- ' port closed with a prediction that in five years all the cotton in the South Tould bs picked by monkeys. The reading was received with trave satisfaction by the meeting, as was agreed- ueioro nana, xne uewuuereu niaya jooKeu from one to another face, and coula hardly believe his senses. A DOUBT IS THE SCHESTE. Finally one gentleman arose and asked sfj some questions about the report, expressing- : a desire to xnow wnetner tne experiment had been tested sufficiently to insure its sue cess. This gave the timid Stayn the outlet for his own doubts, and. he rose and ex pressed the fear that the undertaking was chimerical. The meeting, however, was overwhelm ingly the other way, and voted for the im mediate prosecution of the work; Stayn. growing more nervous, urged a more careful consideration. His imagination aided his, fears, and he excitedly asked who would train the thousands of monkeys. It was a well-known fact that Italians were the only people who could do anything with monkeys, and he predicted that the syndi cate would not be able to get Italians to dol ; this training. He also predicted that the. monkeys would be continually escaping -from their keepers and injuring property, thereby entailing harassing lawsuits upon the syndicate.

Early the following day Stayn sought Munroe and said he wanted to sell out. Munroe said this could not be done right then, as all the stock had been placed, but finally agreed to give him what he had paid for the stock, and immediately gave a check for $15,000, receiving a receipt therefor. As this transaction was consummated, a tele srranri messenger, in nnrsnance of one oftha- detailsof the plot, entered with a message.. Aiwosreau aim was irum .mount;, swung that the price of the stock had jumped 20 points and was still booming. Munroe showed the telegram with great: exultation, and Stayn turned pale as hs-: begged the return of the stock, but Munroe was obdurate, and grimly thanked Mr: Stayn for doubling an investment for him:' When the joke was revealed, a few daystj later, btayn was nearly tormeniea to death. j No man here dares to whisper "monkey" ft . nun now. sgi A BIG BUILDING BL0W5 DOWlf.'
