The committee W& .William JFlinn,-tJe- wntraeto ' tuIH ipwer 'to employ ill the men he mded- to clear away the debris, sot knowing the enormity 'of the task. On Friday Mr. Flinn stated that it would take 10,000 men a month to clear up the town. It was this news that came like tk thunder clap to the committee and caused them to fully realize what they had under taken. Nearly $30,000 is being paid out in wages, provisions, etc, each day. For what? To clear up.the town. This is what brought things to a climax. A Serious Question. It is a question and a serious one with the committee whether they have the power to use money'given to alienate the sufferings ot the survivors and bury the dead, to clear up the town and expend it on labor that "" will not alleviate suffering. There was only one decision on the part of the committee, and' that was that they had no power. If so the National Government or the State must do,thework. The committee at once de cided on a ' Pins of Action. Jieuben Killer was sent to Philadelphia Friday night to represent the committee in At the Relief Headquarters. - a conference of the different committees of the several cities in the State. Saturday Governor Beaver went to Philadelphia and was in "conference all day with the Phila delphia Citizens' Committee, representative of the New Xork Citizens' Committee, Jieuben Miller of the Pittsburg Committee and several other committeemen1 from differ ent cities. In Pittsburg a telegraph office was ringed up in the basement of the Chamber of Com merce, a through wire pntin-and communi cation had with those at Philadelphia. Keeping: the Result Quiet. The members of the committee were as mum as an 'oyster about what was going on and endeavored in every way possible to thwart all efforts to find out the outcome of their conference by wire or that such was going on. Nevertheless, a Dispatch re- rter found out the result, as follows: The question of calling -a special session of the Legislature to appropriate funds for the work was discussed at length, but not decided on, as it would take ten days and me unless the legislators would give their time and mileage free, and even then it would be bard to get them together. Beside, the presence of dead bodies in the . wreck and general pollution makes it imperative that the work be done at once if the pnblic health is to be protected. One Proposition. It was then proposed that the State Treasurer be drawn on for $l,000,000,-pro-viding 200 responsible men would give bonds ior the amount in $5,000 each, they to trust to the Legislature when it. should convene to appropriate the amount. This found some favor, but the question was, conld 200 men be found who would be willing to trust to the caprices and red tape of a Legislature to appropriate money which will have been expended? On this the committee at each end oT the wire lingered. There seemed to be no doubt on the part of those in the conference bnt that the Legislature would appropriate the amount, but $1,000,000 is a large sum to be given out with no positive assurance. Some thing must be done, however. The Government Most Act. "The Governor should come here at once, N Jim" "" ..x-. THE FOURTH gel from 31,000,000 to $3;0OO,OOO and organize" the work on a permanent basis, 'ixelegraphed William Elinn, in charge of the work at Johnstown. The committee could come to no conclnsion by wire, and at last decided to follow at least the first clause of Mr. Flinn's message. The Governor made arrangements and left Philadelphia at G o'clock last night for Johnstown on a special train. In company with them were Benben Miller, member of the Philadelphia committee, and several State officers. Chairman McCreery, S. S. Marvin, H. L Gourley, 'George McCoy and Captain W. B. Jones, of the Pittsburg General Belief Committee, and Messrs. Addison Ballard, Colonel W. P. Bend and City Controller William J. Onahan, of the Chicago Citizens' Commit tee, left Union depot at about 11:30 last night in William Thaw's private car, No. 202, for Johnstown. An Immediate Consultation. On the arrival of the Governor's party they will immediately go into consultation, which will be this forenoon sometime, ac cording to arrangements. The all obsorbing question of course will be to determine how the funds can be ob tained, and whether a special session of the Legislature will be called. Beside the question of funds many other questions of importance will be discussed. Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Hospital Marine Service, is in Johnstown and Br. Benjamin Lee, Executive officer of the State Board of Health is also there and will con fer with the chiefs abont sanitary matters. Director Scott will also be one of the con ference, and all matters of government will be discussed and placed on a solid basis. The personal rivalry in all departments of the work, wherever it exists, will be patched up and everything set to working to place Johnstown on her feet again. Help for Mr. Scott. Mr. Truesdale, who had charge and was absolute dictator of the Chicago Belief Com mittee at the time of the great fire in that city has offered his services to those in charge at Johnstown as a lieutenant to Colonel J. B. Scott, now dictator, and at the conference to-morrow the acceptance of els services will probably be considered. The conference being held on Sunday is fortunate for the progress of the work, as all can go on Monday with increased vigor. Aw aitlnc tbo Conference. As it was. Chairman McCreery stated to all vesterdav that np laborers were wanted, and cut any applicants off short The truth was that the committee Tiad decided that they had cone far enounh and would co no farther with arrangements and the hiring of men until the conference. Taxing it all iu all, the meeting of the chiefs to-day means a food deal to Johnstown, and its result will e looked forward to with interest by all. AFTER EIGHT DAYS. The Governor Decides to Visit Johnsto n to See If the Flood Did Any Damage He Doesn't Know Whether to Call an Extra Sevslon, and Asks For a Sncccstlon. rsrrcixr. uleghah to THksisrxTCR.i Haeeisbubo, June 8. A great pressure is being brought to- bear on Governor Beaver to call an extra session of the Legis lature to appropriate money to improve the condition of things in Johnstown and other places which have greatly suffered by the flood. General Hastings lias been particu larly pertinacious in urging a special ses sion, and at his instance mainly the Gover nor has decided to visit Johnstown and see for himself the stair ot afCiirs. The Governor is oppe&'d ta calling- the such action would cost the State $123,000 for the payment of Senators and Beprescnt atives alone, without counting other unavoid able expenses arising from a demand for money from all parts of the State visited by the flood. Beaver In a Qnandary. The Governor saio. a"few bights ago, when he received a telegram signed by Senator Steele and several members of the House from Allegheny county, asking him to call a special session, that the Legislature did not seem to know that, under the Constitu tion, no appropriation could be made to re lieve the suffering at Johnstown. He has since declared that the Legislature could make an appropriation in the exercise of its police powers, but he has thrown out no intimation that he has the calling ot a special .session in contemplation. The Governor was asked to-day whether he intended to call an extra session. He answered rather petulantly: "Now, tell me how to call an extra ses sion. Ton newspaper men don't seem to know that there has been a flood, and I can't reach thejnemhers of the Legislature. Why does not somebody make a suggestion? Tou newspaper men don't seem to realize that there has been a great flood, and that commun ci'oi is interrupted." I" -" - - . WABD SCHOOL, AT PBESENT THE PtaCIPAI MOBGTTE. . . S Being asked whether he would call a separate session if ho could reach the mem bers he said: "I donjt know. I can't say anything about it. It is t'me to talk about crossing bridges when yon get to them." Secretary Stone does not think the calling' oi a special session of the Legislature under existing-cirenmstances would be advisable, because of the urgency of the demand for help. It would take some time to get the Legislature together, and at least six days would haye to elapse before an appropria tion bill for the relief of the sufierers could be passed. This wonld be too late to accom plish any sanitary good. A MOTE BI THE STATE. General Rejoicing; Over an Order Placing; 1,000 Men on the Wreckage. JTOOM A STAFF CORHESPOITDKNT.J Johnstowx, June 8. It has just been reported that the State Sanitary Board has ordered that 1,000 men shall be placed on the wreckage to-morrow morning. This news was at first received with incredulity, but when its authenticity was established beyond a doubt a scene of general rejoicing ensned over the fact that the Governor had at last decided to 'interest himself in the matter. One prominent contractor said very forcibly: ' "I consider that the order has only been given in time to save Johnstown from a ca lamity worse, if possible, than the first" JiOETOor.

There were 1,000 active members. The walls and roof of the buMd iug still stand, and they protected e parsonage beside them, but the interior of the church is a complete wreck. There was a Snndav school room in a second story at the backof the church. This, it is thought, can be repaired for u few hundred dollars. If o, the congregation wil wor ship in it until they can get money to re build the church. . The wreck of the congregation is even more complete than that of the building. Out of 1,000 not 300 remain. Most of these were drowned. Others have left the town for good; a few have gone away temporarily and will come back when the place is re built. Many of the other churches are com pletely wiped out, pastors and officers lost, building destroyed, even the sites obliter ated, and out of the members only a hand ful left alive. Among the pastors who went down were the Bev. Ciller, of the Episco pal Church; the Bev. Mr. Jones, of the Welsh Congregational Church andJBev. Mr, Lichtenburg, ot the German Reformed Church.

THE HOMELESS PEOPLE. Forty-Two Destitute Families at South Fork Receive Much Needed Relief. rFBOM A STAIT C0RBESP0NDKNT.3 Johnstowit, June 8. General Bichard Coulter, of Greensburg, was in town this afternoon, on his way home from South Fork, where ho went to investigate the suf ferings of the people at that place. The General is interested in the Argyle Coal Company, at South Fork, and he found that a number of the employes were in want of provisions and clothing. He went to see them and alleviate their distress. In speak ing of the situation, the General said: - "When I arrived at South Fork I found a great amount of suffering among the peo ple, but they are getting along all right now. There are 42 families there, who were rendered homeless by the flood, but there were only"two men drowned. "The first train to reach South Fork since the accident got there last .night, from Al toona. With the supplies that the people are getting from Altoona and Mineral Point they will be able to get along very comfortably. We had a meeting to-day ana appointed a committee to build honsesfor the homeless people. The buildings will be frame and rudely constructed." McSwiGAir. HIS SAD EXILE. S. BI.

Jones, a sewing machine agent formerly in business at No. 183 Locnst street, and whoso wife and child were drowned, left the town to-day, never to return. He stated to your cor respondent that he had moved his family into the jaws of death, and the place was now unbearable to him. Mr. Jones had only been a resident of the town for one week when his little family was annihilated. When the water began to come up so high in his store that it was not safe to be there, he moved them upstairs. The last he saw of his wife, he said, she was kneeling on the floor at the bedside in prayer. He was standing at the window looking at the flood when the crash came, and they were swept away. He floated six squares with a woman named Mrs. Jones (not his wife), and suc ceeded in rescuing her. McSwioan, Carloads of coosed meat.

The fate of anyone employed in telling-of what is going oahere is to be always and forever writing about Gladstone. He has been making open air speeches in the rain and thunder without overcoat or hat and he has managed to hold enormous audiences under such conditions. He has been borcotted industriously by the Tories in places he has visited and appears to have enjoyed it His speeches ngw are based simply on the rule of three, and this be uses in a way cheerful to those interested with him in the home rule cause everywhere. He says in substance: Fellow citizens, y6u had better, drop coercion and come along with me. We have gained 10 seats on "67 elections, and how many will we gain when 670 elections come on together? That was where Mr. Gladstone's rule of three came in, anddt ap peared to he convincing. The speech making tour on whichGladstone has started is a most important one. AN ACTIVE OLD MAN. To-day he embarked at Weymouth on Ceyrll flower's yacht, and started on his Western cruise, which is to be the great event of this political season. He will do two or three hours' speechmaking each day, and his great effort will be at Plymouth. There his speech may run to any number of col umns, from six up, and when it is orer he will come back to his Parliamentary work. It is rcmarkableTrom a man of almost 80 to take his vacation in so energetic a fashion. There is no doubt that the Prince of Wales, for a man as thoroughly spoiled as one in his position must be, displays at intervals un usual common sense. The bad taste of Sal isbury in withdrawing. the British Minister from Paris at the opening of the exhibition aroused great bitterness of feeling in France. The Princ&of Wales h3s just started for the Exhibition, taking with him . his wife, two boys and three girls. He was induced to patronize a French 'hotel, and thus swell the receipts of Trench tradesmen. napATiNG- otrK chauhoet, r Arather funinv and nerhans untrue storv is told about the-Prince of Wales, who has some ideas of public Bpeaking, rehearsing his youthful son, Albert Victor, in that art His son, who fs a young man singularly de void ot brains, had many speeches to make when he went to Ireland, and is described before his departure as coming into his papa's room in the morning and rehearsing, without coat or waistcoat, little speeches, toasts and gracious observations generally that he had concocted, submitting them to the revision of his more experienced-daddy. A more difficult task, however, than that of makiug a Chauncey Depew of material snpplied by the Guelph family can scarcely be imagined. , Press controversies of which Englishmen are so fond have broken out on thequestibn of women's suffrage, which is being very bit terly attacked. A, reply to certain of the most vigorous opponents of the idea that woman as a political power is just'as good as a man and a trifle befter is found in the remarkable woman who manages to care for her children and perform effectually her duties as a member of the London School Board, and has also on hand a scheme to defeat the wiles of certain French legisla tors. JFBENCH BEAES. There had been arranged a Women's Congress to be held in Paris during the course of the Exhibition. The idea of adding female political agitation to the other rows going on in Prance was not pleasing to the Government, and the latter decided to stifle this intended congress by organizing a Women's Congress ot its own, at which, however, political questions would not be discussed, and the delegates promised to confine themselves to such trashy matters as charity, art and cooking. Mrs. Dilke, who can speak French extem poraneously, and make a good speech with out having thought it over befprehand, has been selected by the English women suffra gists to go to Paris and state their plans. It is probable she will not hand in her paper, which would be objected to, but will ask permission to make an impromptu speech of 15 minutes, and when she gets it will talk nothing bnt pure politics all the time.

WHITECHAPEL'S HOBEOB. An Attempt to Revive the Excitement by the Discovery of a Woman's Body In toe Thames The Maybrlck Harder Trial The Alleged Pris oner Will NotHane. JUT CABLE TO TEX DISFATCH.t London; June 8. tCopyright. An at tempt has been made unsuccessful Iy to re vive Whitechapel scare over the discovery of the chonped up remains of a woman in the Thames this week. The murder, though a horrible one, is common-place enough in its cause.. It has fortunately attracted at tention and much indignation, and though t Scotland Yard has thus far shown only its peculiar faculty tor avoiding discoveries, some good may eventually result from this poor woman's fate. Far more interesting to the public is the mnrder case in Liverpool, which has jusf resulted in the Coroner's jury bringing a verdict against Mrs. Maybrlck. This promises to be one of the greatest poisoning cases in Endand. All the circumstances tend to develop a tremendous sensation. The fact of the woman being wealthy and well known in society, the wonderful Eerseverance with which she is alleged to ave obtained from fly papers the arsenic which killed her husband, administering it to him in carefully arranged doses, and the fact, too, that the alleged murderess is an American, all snpply the necessary sur roundings for a dramatic trial. The British mother will, no donbt, be pleased, since so sad s thing had to happenL that the guilty wife should have been one of those Amer icans whose competition is just now having such a deadly effect on the market for home bred maidens. The Liverpool occurrences appear to have but added zest to the enthusiasm with which the Music Hall audiences receive a certain very popular song declaring English girls to be godd enough for Englishmen, and moaning at the bad taste which leads the latter in so many cases to come to Yankee land for small-footed wives. There is no doubt Mr. Maybrick died from arsenic pois oning, and the guilt of the accused woman was generally accepted, but it Is not likely that she will hang. The defense will proba bly prove to the satisfaction of the jnry that the dead man was in the habit of taking small quantities of arsenic for certain med ical reasons, and in a jury of 12 men one or two will beound, especially as Mrs. May brick is a young and handsome woman, to adopt the view that the man did away with himself without meaning to.

Your correspondent at Ballemullet, in Erris, County Mayo, on the western coast of Ireland, this week sends some facts that may interest the Commissioners of ' Emigration in New York. During the winter Erris was placarded with posters requesting all persons desirous of emigrating to America to apply to Emigration Agent Bourke, formerly a vice-guardian of Bal lemullet union before April 1. Many families applied to Bourke, who , finally seleeted.100 of the very poorest and .most' worthless of the population for transporta tion to the land of freedom, btlft a- hiteh, .arose jvhen he- attempted Ho 'pvtaJK? means of conveying this prcldus'freighX aiib ,a.iiau line oi steamers, vj waicn Bourke had intended to ship his passes gers. refused to carry them usless it waa guaranteed the amount of their .return pas? sage, incase the United States refnsed to receivp them. But Bourke was not dis couraged, and he is now, according to Bev. Henry Hewson, the parish priest of Erris, dividing his people up into families and shipping them at the rate of one family per week from Queenstown. His method is to put one man in as head of the family and send with him a lot of others as his chil dren and relatives. The alleged head of family is supplied with a sufficient amount of money to pass as a financially responsible person, and if it is necessary they are all fitted ont with respectable clothing. Bonrke has already got rid of several of these families. John S. Murphy, the lead ing storekeeper of Ballemullet, corrobo rates Father Hewson. Mr. Murphy says most of the pfeoplo who are being sent away owe him money, and are the poorest and worst class of the community. The strang est part of it all is that the money that is provided to fit out these emigrants is not supplied by the local government. -The guardians of the union or township know nothing of the matter, and assert that Bourke receives his financial support from the British Government. A YERY HAPPY FAMILY. Xo Chance of a Separation of Sir Francis Cook and His Wife. 'BT CABLX TO THE DISPATCH. London, June 8. Copyright I have been asked by Sir Francis, Cook to contra dict certain false statements concerning his private life which have been printed in America, and which have caused him great annoyance. These statements are to the effect that a separation is pending between himself and his wife, Lady Cook, for merly Miss Tennie Claflin. Sir Francis declares nothing could be 'farther from his mind or that of his wife than the thought of separation. He also denies most emphatically that hischildren have ever, as alleged, sought to bring about such a sepa ration. So unfilial a course, Sir Francis declares, would be impossible on the part of his children, although apart from the ques tion of their own interest which would make it absolutely suicidal to offend Sir Francis, whose very large fortune is unen cumbered, by entail and entirely at his own disposal. 1 So confident is Sir Francis that his chil dren are guiltless of any undntifnl conduct that he declares he will give SSO.00O to any one in America or elsewhere who, will prove to him that his son cr daughters employed detectives, as has been stated, to obtain such information as would make "it possible for them to separate Lady Cook from her hus b mil. Sir Francis, who was abont cabling to America offering this reward when I chanced to see him to-day, may be relied to pay it to anyone who can fulfill the conditions under which it is offered. It is to be hoped that the circulation of these statements concerning Sir Francis will not be persisted in, for the malice which lies at the bottom of them would certainly be dispelled on acquaintance with the man. Sir Francis Cook, who is more than 70 years of age, has devoted the greater part of his life to his wonderful art collections at Doughty House, and is a man universally respected. I chanced one day to meet his children at Doughty House, all living in perfect harmony with their father and his second wife. They lndigdsntly deny the assertions made concerning them.

Copyright Sir Morreli Mackenzie is baying a cheerful time with his libel suits against the Times and Steinkopf, who had the bad judgment to pnt unpleasant things about him in black and white and lacked, the energy to keep them from getting into print Steinkopf has apologized without being asked, and promises to p3y a reasonable sum of money to settle matters up, bnt Mackenzie does not want a reasonable sum, and George Lewis, his solicitor, says that he will get a very fine one namely, 10,000. The Timet, which published the letters, will probably also authorize its solicitors to frepare apologies and offers of compromise, nt there is very little chance of these being accepted. Eith'er Sternkopf's anxiety is based on the fact that he owns the St. James Gazette, a good property, which would be damaged if the trial shows, as it inevitably will, that the paper has been used as Bis marck's tool. I have reason to believe, that in the course of this libel suit some amuse ment will be furnished and some very un-. expected revelations made. KEMMLEB'3 HOPES.

Mr. Bourke Coch rane sent a letter to the District Attorney of Erie county to-day, expressing his readi ness to co-operate with him in securing a speedy hearing on the question to be raised in the appeal of the case of William Kemmler, who is the first man sentenced to be put to death by the electric method. Mr. Cochrane said to a Dispatch reporter this evening: "I am in this case only to test the con stitutionality of the new law. Mr. Hatch, Kemmler's attorney, took an appeal from the conviction in order to secure a stay of execution. Now I will try to procure a writ of ; habeas corpus, probably in Cayuga county, where Kemmler is imprisoned, on the ground that he is unlawfully deprived of his liberty. The State will, of course, rejoin that he is under sentence of death. ' I will reply that the sentence is against the law and as imposed is unconstitutional, providing for unusual and cruel punish ment. Then the question of unconstitu tionality will come up. I am willing in order to expidite matters to have the sen tence confirmed pro forma up to the Court of Appeals, and if the District Attorney agrees with me we can argue the question in the general term of court. I have noth ing to do with the points raised at the trial. Mr. Hatch may or may not raise them again."

Document. Washington, June 8. About two years ago a few earnest army chaplains, seconded by some religious bodies, began an agitation having for its object the abolition of Sun day inspections and drills in the army. Numerous petitions were filed and representations made in other ways to the President, which were all referred to the War Department. Conflicting views upon the subject were held by officers, but at last the President has settled the matter, as is shown by the following general official order, the first made by General Kelton since he assumed the office of Adjutant Gen eral of the army. WAS DEFAUnrENT. Adjutakt General's Oitice, WASHINGTON, Jane 8. 1SS9. The following order of the President Is pub lished for the Information and guidance of the army: , ExEUimva Mansion, June 7. 1S89. In November, 1862, President Lincoln quoted the words of Washington to sustain his own views and annonnced in a general order that "The President Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, desire3 an-1 enjoins the orderly observance of the Sabbath by the officers and men in- the military and naval service. The Importance for man and beast of the prescribed weekly rest the sacred rights of Christian soldiers and sailors, a becoming deference to the best sentiment or a Christian people and a fine regard for the divine will, demand that Sunday labor in the army and navy be reduced to the- measure of strict necessity." The truth so concisely stated cannot be too foithf illy regarded, and the pressure to ignore it is far less now than in the midst of war. To recall the kindly and considerate spirit of the orders issued by these great men in the most trying times of onr history, andVo promote contentment and efficiency, the President directs that Sunday morning in spection will be merely of tbedress and general appearance with out arms and the more com plete inspection under arms with all men pres ent as required In 950, A.

The informa tion is given out, on good authority, this evening,, that Governor Foraker has concluded to allow the use of his name for Governor, and will be s candidate fora third term. The devel opments of the past few days have led" him to the belief that he should make the sacri fice under the pressure which is being brought. He has" abandoned Senatorial aspirations to be Governor, and will be a candidate to succeed Sherman. At the Democratic primaries thin evening the delegates for Allen W. Thnrman for Governor were defeated in nearly every dis trict and in tbe ward where he lived. He was opposed on tbe ground that he is not a Democrat and for the stand which he took against the tally sheet forsers in 183o. Congressman Campbell secured a majority oTthe delegates, and will undoubtedly be nominated lor Governor. GUILTY IU THE FIRST DEGREE. The Nicely Brothers Are Convicted of Farmer Umberger's Mnrder.
