It to certainly too bad, that now since Wilkes-Barre has the best crab that was ever organised hare, and one that always pats ap good ball and to never on Interesting, that with all this the people do not respond as they should to the efforts pat forth to secure for them a splendid club of splendid players.

While other towns are thoroughly enthusiastic over tho great national game oar own seems to be losing inter set in it, to judge from the meagre support so far given to games at the Wet Side Park. If such a careless condition of things continues much longer, there can be bat one outcome, and that the dissolution of the club. Booh a misfortune would certainly not bo very creditabe to the enterprise of a city that has secured through ball playing in the past, so much genuinely good advertising. If the people ware poor, or If times here were bad outside the mines which, were idle several months, there might ba a slight excuse for the apparent carelessness In attendance at tho games hare. But such is not the case.

Wilkes-Barre is Justly famed for her active energies, her wealth and her generous characteristics and It would ba a pity indeed, if it became necessary to dissolve the club simply on account of a disinclination to rapport It by attending games. It is hoped that this will not occur, bat unless more people tarn oat thau there has been so far, no one knows what may happen uor how soon. Those ball enthusiast who do not care whether wa have a club or not, can easily show it by remaining away and keeping their quarters in their It to not the management's intention to get deeply in debt, and unless a bettor support to given, the time will soon coma whan the club will either disband, or Its franchise be disposed of to some other town. ley. association.

SULLIVAN TO BE ARRESTED. It Is Probable That with Others He Will Be Charged wish Cronln'a Murder. Chicago, June 1L It is probable that the coroner's inquiry into the assassination of Dr. Cronin will close this evening The jurors are almost certain to recommend that Alexander Sullivan, Senior Warden Beggs, Folic Officer Daniel Brown, Harry Jordan and Larry Buckley be arrested. Others may be dragged in, too.

All the prisoners will be held for murder and bail will be refused. The testimony before the coroner's jury yesterday went further to confirm the belief that the Clan-na-Gael men, who are suspected of being directly or indirectly implicated in the conspiracy, are trying to shield one another by giving evasive answers to the leading questions of the coroner. Detective Mike Whelan, who traveled with Detective Coughlin after Dr. Cronin disappeared, and who was suspended by Chief Hubbard because of his strange conduct while searching for the man Smith, who drove the doctor away, was the first witness. Whelan is a first cousin of Iceman P.

O'Sullivan. Whelan admitted that he was a C'an-na-Gael and that his number was 136. He had seen Detective Coughlin and P. O'Sullivan fighting some unknown men in a saloon. Chief Hubbard and Luke Dillon have ordered the arrest of a suspect who has taken refuge in New York.

His name is being kept a secret for the present, because there is a possibility of the fellow eluding the detectives who are on his trail. The man's description tallies exactly with one of the three men who figured in the actual murder. Attention was first directed to him by Luke Dillon, who remembered the fellow as one of the most mischievous tools of the triangle that ruled the Clan-na-Gael in 1882. Late Presidential Appointments. Washington.

June 11. The resident has ANOTHER EXCITING GAME. Meetlnc New Haven Per the First Time Yesterdoy-The Visitors I'lar Well Bat Are Beaten Just tho The Wilkes-Barre and New Haven Ball Clubs met on the diamond for the first time this season at West Bide Park yesterday, in the presence of about 600 spectators, and a close and exciting game was the result. The outfield of the visitorf had little to do, bat their infield was filled with vigor and scooped up nearly everything that came within reach. The Infield of the home team, too, played magnificently, the work of Irwin, Pettit, O'Brien and Flanagan being superb.

Jacobs pitched a good game, as did also Doran, bat the former was steadier at critical periods of the contest, and this counted materially in winning the game. Doran wild pitches were costly, and one pawed ball by Cahill tot in a ran. Black at centre took everything that came his way, and bis magnificent backward catch of Lolly's long fly actually- saved the game to Wilkes Barre. It was in all respects a great exhibition of ball playing and deserved a much larger attendance. The first Inning showed sharp field work on both Bides, bat resulted in blanks.

The ran getting began in the second, when Flanagan opened with a safe bit to inner toft field. O'Brien followed with a safe one, bat was put oat in attempting to steal second. Tony Murphy then drove one to right center and Flanagan scored Jacobs was thrown out at first and Murphy at second, having run past the base. Two more runs were made in the third. Pettit sent a hot one to Shortstop Corcoran and beat the ball to first, going to second on a passed ball.

Irwin reached first on an error of Tom Corcoran and Pettit went to third, but was pot out at the plate on Irwin's steal of second bag. A wild pitch allowed Irwin to take third, and he purloined the plate with a splendid headlong slide when Black banted a little one toward first on which the latter reached the base. Black stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. McKee got a base on balls and stole second Beecher banted a little sacrifice and Black scored. Flanagan went oat on a By to Walsh.

The next ran was made In the seventh, when after Murphy had been retired Walsh muffed Jacob's fly and Jacobs went to third on a wild pitch and home on a passed ba 1. The last and winning ran was made in the ninth. Flanagan started the business with a two-bagger to left, going to third on O'Brien's OF THE takes hold of the stupendous work of restoring the valley to its condition before the flood, and all work after to-day will be under supervision of Gen.

Its tombstones are the shattered timbers sticking out of the wreckage, the torn, raggrd fragments of walls marking where the streets had been. Though hundreds have already been uncovered, the dead are coming to light in surprising numbers if any one here can be surprised and there are some faces among them that had never been missed. People just arriving in Johnstown say that the stench is sickening and fearful, tainting the air of the valley everywhere, while those who have worked here throughout the trying scenes have noticed it only at tunes and in certain places, showing that their senses are numbed. All the waters are giving up their dead and the skiffs and grapplers are in waiting for them. The red shir ted lumberman, standing midway in the raft, who is called tho marker and color bearer, raised his ax once to strike, but the blow never oil If it had, it would have cut in twain the first of the bodies taken from the Point away.

They have stocks of staple gooas ordered, but cannot get them hauled over the railroads. A citizen of Hew Florence, to speaking of this nutter, said to a press correspondent: "We most have something to eat down there, Coffee, bread and meat are all gone. Little children are crying for more food, and the unhappy parents often go without in order to feed the little ones. We have made applications for supplies, hot have not got any yet. Something must be done soon, or some of us will die of hunger." Insane From Grief.

Three more of the Johnstown sufferers have survived death only to lose their reason, Rev. Kunz, son and Mrs. Saeger. The family of Rev. Kunz, a German Lutheran minister, consisted of father, mother and five children.

Of these all perished except the father Jand one son, aged 12 years. After striving to recover the bodies of his dear ones, and waiting to bury two children all that could be found Rev. Kunz was prevailed upon to come with his little son to this city. He was among those given refuge at the Home of the Friendless. At first he appeared merely dazed at the terrible afflictions that had befallen him, but now, as the result of the agonizing strain, his mind is completely unhinged, and he chatters unceasingly in a sad, unmeaning monologue.

The become mentally unbalanced. Altogether, it is a case that would melt a heart of stone. A Dangerous Patient. At the St. Francis hospital one of the patients from Johnstown is a Mrs.

Saeger. She has been raving almost constantly since her arrival, and for the past two days has been almost constantly insane. Her mania has taken homicidal form and the Sisters fear for their lives, they not being in a position to attend to such cases, having none of the provisions necessary. Owing to her sad condition very little is known of her. In her rambling talk she has mentioned having come originally from Baltimore, and thai she hadn't lived in Johnstown many months before the flood.

Whether this is correct or not, of course, no one knows. It is hoped this publication may have the effect of bringing her case to the attention of friends, wherever they may be. The condition of Mrs. Foster, one of the Johnstown sufferers, who was taken to the Mercy hospital, and who became insane from grief over the loss of her children on Friday, is unchanged. She continues to rave in a wild manner, and it is doubtful whether her mind can ever be restored.

For the present she will remain at the hospital The Surgeon General's Report. Washington, June 11. Surgeon General Hamilton has made a report to the president of his investigations at Johnstown and then-results. The surgeon general says that there is no danger of epidemic at Johnstown; that the only danger, if any, is at the towns below Johnstown, the inhabitants of which Tho fires among the timber near the stone bridge were quenched by the rain and the valley was filled with steamy and ill-smelling Finest Stock of vapors.

The New Havens began their interesting work in the third inning. Walsh hit one into left, which Beecher could not reach, and the batter made two bases. Tom Corcoran now stepped to the plate and mingled hisses and applause greeted him.

He bunted one lost inside the plate and reached first on Murphy's failure to get the ball In time, Walsh going to third. Doran and Brady then struck out, but Murphy failed to hold the tatter's third strike and had to throw the ball to first The return was made promptly by Flanagan, bat Murphy did not touch Walsh, so the umpire said, and the first ran was scored. Cahill struck oat Two more runs were added In the fourth. Burdock hit just inside third bag and went to first, where Tom Corcoran was substituted as a runner. He stole second.

After Lally went out at first on a splendid stop and throw by Irwin, J. Corcoran got a base on balls. Galligan then sacrificed and Burdock's run was scored. Walsh then bit safely and Corcoran, who had stolen second, reached the plate. Tom Corcoran was thrown oat at first Their last run was made in the sixth, when Burdock got a base on balls and went to second on a wild pitch.

He then deliberately stole third on Jacobs and scored on a passed ball. Lally struck out Galligan was thrown out by O'Brien, and Walsh went out on a foul fly taken by Flanagan.

Clarkson, first assistant postmaster general, to the postofflce case at Cannelton, about which the president has been criticized because of the appointment of Mr. Zimmerman. Many persons have quoted Mr. Harrison's speech in the United States senate in 1885 in opposition to the removal of Mrs. D.

E. La Hunt, former postmistress, from this office, and havo criticized his action-in failing to appoint her now when she was an applicant with Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Clarkson said: "Tho president has made a memorandum directing the appointment of Mrs.

De La Hunt, supposing the office to be presidential, but tho appointment was really of tho fourth class, and I have already appointed Zimmerman upon the recommendation of Congressman Posey, whose indorsements are usually followed in the district, knowing nothing of the desire of tho president for Mrs. De La Hunt's reappointment, nor of the circumstances of the case. I am inclined to think that it will yet bo changed, and that Mrs. De La Hunt will be appointed, as it was the intention of the president to appoint tho Union soldier's widow to the Cannelton postofflce.

The men are now at police headquarters and will bo hold to await the arrival of officers from Chicago. soon as the air strikes the corpses now it becomes almost impossible to handle them, and the sooner they are buried the better. There are over fifty new faces on tho slabs at the morgues, and a record shows that a week from the morgues were established 1,493 people were buried from them who wero discovered right in this vicinity. This has nothing to do with the valley or the dead of Nineveh, at New Florence and elsewhere A great many were also buried who were not taken to these morgues.

He explained that rats had probably died in the cellar and that a mattress up stairs was full of worms, and promised to attend to them.

After the return of Mr. and Mrs. Leuth they noticed it also, and the neighbors legan to complain. Sunday night tho smell became intolerable, and tho Shevells joined Mrs. Leuth in insisting upon a thorough and immediate investigation of the premises, lir.

Leuth took a lamp and commenced an exploration of the cellar, and under a part of the house, beneath the floor and about midway between the well like vaults, he discovered the naked Ixxly of a child partially covered with rags. The head and one arm were severed from the trunk. Almost paralysed with fright, Leuth hurriedly imparted the news of his discovery to his wife and rushed over to the police station to give the alarm. Tlie body was horribly mutilated and decomposed, but every one present was confident that it was Maggie Thompson's body. The skull was found to have been broken in at the forehead in three places.

One wound was over the right eye, cne on the left frontal bone close by the hair and one in the left temple. The Jaw was also broken and the right arm had been torn off at the elbow, but the trunk was too badly decomposed to give any further clew to the nature of the assault All the clothing was off and had been piled upon the body. The body was removed to the morgue, and a further examination of the premises made. A box of chloride of lime was found near where the body laid and a boy's jacket, partly eaten by the chemical The police arrested the five occupants of the building and lodged them in the Central station. Mr.

Washington, June 11. The June returns of the department of agriculture show a slight increase in winter wiieat area seeded, but the breadth harvested may be possibly a million acres more than in the last crop, largely from Kansas and California.

The seeded and harvested area in Kansas will this year be nearly identical, and the large breadth in California, which is cut for wheat in years of low yield, will in part be harvested for grain this season. The question of areas will be tested later, as thoroughly as possible, by a partial local census at various points. The condition of winter wheat still remains comparatively high, through it has fallen three points during the last month, and averages 93 for the country. The following state averages are given: New York, 96; Pennsylvania, 95; Maryland, 98; Virginia, 97; Georgia, 95; Texas, 88; Kentucky, 86; Ohio, 88; Michigan, 90: Indiana, 90; Illinois, 92; Missouria, 98; Kansas, 98; California, 98. The area of spring wheat has apparently increased about 3 per cent.

The preliminary estimates show a loss of 3 per cent in Wisconsin, and 1 in Minnesota, and a gain of 1 in Iowa, 8 in Nebraska, and 7 in Dakota, with increase in the mountain region. Further investigation may disclose the changes of the year more exactly. The condition of spring wheat is high, except in parts of Dakota, where it has suffered from drought. Averages are a follows: Wisconsin, 96; Minnesota, 93; Dakota, 88; Nebraska, 99; Iowa, 99. Condition is generally high in the mountain districts.

The average is nearly 95 for the entire spring wheat breadth. An increase of 2 to 3 per cent, in the area of oats is reported, while condition is seven points below the nominal standard of a full crop. The area of barley is about the same as last year, and its average of condition 95, Rye has made no perceptible advance in area, and its general average of condition is 95. come in I am almost snowed under.

Although at first there was a natural sentiment against the burning of this mass, which led to the extinguishment of the fire here by Pittsburg firemen, there lias been a steady change of opinion. If Gen. Hastings should order the drift fired the people would acquiesce and admit that it was for the best This has been true in regard to the burning of dangerous buddings und piles of wood in various parts of the valley, where the nostrils of those to whom the wind carried the smoke told them time and time again that human flesh was burning. The chances in tho event of the finding of a body in the drift are decidedly against its identification, and is also an argument in favor of the cremation of the whole.

This plan is to dry up the part of the river bed where the wreckage is and then soak it with oil and fire it. Now that the river is rapidly lowering this plan is entirely feasible The work of removing the debri3 above the railroad bridge was continued with a large force of men, there being now about 500 men at work, but still the progress is very slow.

A number of bodies have been recovered through the efforts of one man at the upper pontoon bridge on Stony creek. He is from Philadelphia and has his own staff. When a reporter asked him his name he replied: "It don't make any difference about my name; I'm hero for business," and rowed away. He has ropes and hooks, and recovered four bodies from an old freight car washed from the track at that point. There are a number of old trees and roots washed in at this place, and his plan of operation is to stir the roots pretty lively, and the bodies at once come to the surface.

Ten days have passed since the disastrous flood swept through three-quarters of Reuovo and laid waste the houses of the working people of the town. So much has been said and written of the Bufferings in other places that Renovo has been almost forgotten, except in the matter of provisions. Sufficient clothing and food nave been contributed to relieve the immediate wants of the distressed, but unless aid in ihe shape of money comes to the people they will be unable to again build up the homes which were destroyed by the flood.

The condition of the people here is distressing in the extreme. The majority of the homes destroyed represent the life-time savings of workingmen, and unless outside aid comes there will be suffering and poverty such as has not yet been known. Unaided the people are unable to start anew the building up of their destroyed homes, and Chief Burgess and citizens generally of the town have asked the United Press correspondent to make known through the press the condition of affairs at this place.
