KELLOOQ'S CASE. EAST HAMBURG'S TRAGEDY. Result of the Inquest on the Body- ot Llzele Bates's Baby.

The result of the inquisition of Coroner Gundlocji in the East Hamburg investigation was filed today. Its main result was given in our first edition. Dr. Ed. Clark, of this city, made an examination ot the exhumed remains of Lizzie Bates, the supposed mother.

He says the remains ware those of a slender young woman, who had been crippled in the left leg. No external evidecss of injury were found. The bowels, stomach, etc, (appeared normal. Evidence was found that the woman must have given birth to a child a short time before death. He believes her death was from non-contraction of the the uteruB and hemorrhage.

Dr. A. R. Davidson of this city, who made a chemical analysis of the stomach, of the woman, certified that he found no poison in the organs. The jury say the infant's body was placed uuder the barn by Dana Swift or some other party unknown.

The child was still-born. Servants swore that Swift and Lizzie Bates occupied the same bed at the former's house after the death of his wife. THE WIND'S WORK. Some of the Results ot This Morning's Oentle Zephyrs. A frame house owned by George Notter and occupied by the family of Thomas Carter, engineer at the city jail, was blown from its foundations, at the foot of Austin street lower Black Rock this morning.

The family was asleep at the time, and the building landed in a small basin containing a few feet of water. No one was hurt. A wagon belonging to the Union steam laundry was overturned by the wind at the corner of Terrrce and Pearl street. A storm shed in front of 16 Franklin street was blown down. The derrick to be used in the erection of the monument on Lafayette square had a narrow escape from being wrecked, owing to the advertising banners attached to it.

They were cut down, thus allowing the wind to paes through the net work of timbers. A large and handsome sign of Altaian just back of the Terrace depot, was blown down by the wind this morning. The wind also blew a skylight off the new police building to the street below and broke it. 1 Hnslc for the Million.

Annual fleeting of the Buffalo AssociationA Fine The Buffalo Civil Service association held its annual meeting in Hersey hall last evening, vice-President Jewett M.Richmond presiding. Secretary W.F. Kip read the treasurer's report showing a small balance! He also presented the report of the executive committee. It reviewed the fight which the committee had made toward securing the repeal of the law of 1820, and supplementary acts, which fixed the tenure of office at four years, and made the appointing? power a means of political reward; and the passage of an act applying the "merit" system to many branches of the national civil service, which took effect in July, 1883.

The results of this act were shown to have been most admirable. The report also detailed the labors of the state civil service commission since January, 1884, under the new law. Though but recently begun, the good effects of the state law are already apparent. It was also shown that the application of civil service rules to the municipal government had had the hearty endorsement and support of the mayor, and was bringing about a better state of affairs in many of the departments. The committee says on this head: "Mayor Scoville, with great courage and most honorable independence, with a keen appreciation of the value of the 'merit system' and the danger which experience had told him existed In the 'spoils and with a warm and hearty support to the boards of examiners he created, has, in the opinion of your committee, done more for the municipal administration of Buffalo than any mayor it has ever had.

Your committee do not deem this the praise of exaggeration, for they have been closely connected with the application of the system to the city and know intimately the good that has been done by its mayor and the evils which his action has averted. The thanks of the association and of the citizens of Buffalo are also due to Police Commissioner Crissy, whose interest in the reform and whose energy, independence and most intelligent supervision of the "merit system" as applied to his department have been unmistakable and earnest; to Messrs. T. Guilford Smith, George Sandrock and J. N.

Larned, from whom, as examiners without pay, a constant sacrifice of time, energy and personal attention has been demanded and conscientiously given; to the other examiners whose services have been freely given. Through these gentlemen and the labors of association, and most ot the daily papers, the city ot Buffalo stands third among the cities of the Unionln the attacks upon the "spoils system," and first among them in the application of the reform to its police department, which latter Important fact adds greatly to the public indebtedness to Mayor Scoville and Commissioner Crissy." -Letters from Carl Schurz and George William Curtis were read. Mr. Curtis says of the work in Buffalo We have all watched with great interest and congratulation the application of the reformed system to the municipal service which has been made by Mayor Scoville. Indeed in the work of reform the city of Buffalo, by its reform the action-of its mayor and "of the governor, who is one of its citizens, has taken a most honorable and conspicuous part.

Mr. Schurz writes: I cannot refrain from congratulatingthe civil service reform association of Buffalo and the people of your city upon the application of the merit system to your municipal departments, for I consider this one of the most important features of the remarkable progress made by the cause of civil service reform during the last two years. On motion of John G. Milburn the association endorsed the action of the national league relative to the repeal of the tenure of office act. After some miscellaneous discussion, during which Commissioner Richmond dwelt upon the importance, of restoring the clause relative to the police force, the following officers were elected President, Hon.

And the Balance A re Frightened from Wik-A in There was a small commotion at the-New York Central depot on Ohio street, near Michigan, this morning. The propeller Buffalo, of the Western Transit line, was there waiting to be loaded, bat only of the 48 non-union men employed there yesterday reported for duty.

They were guarded by Watts's specials, and were about to go to work, when a large door of the freight house was forced, aud a crowd of hostile work-ingmen entered. The eight employes of the company concluded not to risk a collision with the invaders and quietly retired from the freight house and dispersed to their respective homes. At last accounts there was not much hope of securing nonunion laborers to take the places of those who bad deserted, and Manager Caldwell was In a quandary over the matter. It is vident that many laborers fear violence and will not take the chances even with the inducement of liberal pay and steady work held out by the companies. Special police-men are on duty at the Western Transit wharves and warehouses, but there is little excitement and rew loiterers in the vicinity.

The Union steamboat company is 'not loading today, and its men are taking a rest, their pay going on the same as if they were at work. Its docks and buildings are deserted, save by clerks and regular attaches, and present a striking contrast with the scenes of yesterday. There is not even an Italian in sight. Trouble In Toledo. Toledo, 0., May 2.

Yesterday a gang of about 20 nonunion 'longshoremen, under Captain Cunningham, aud a party of union men became involved in an affray which afterward developed into a riot. When the Cunningham men, who are mostly Poles, attempted to unload a schooner they were driven forcibly from their work by a party of union men who claimed that tliey were working under price. One of the union men struck a Pole a violent blow in the face and immediately the entire force of Poles made a sortie with bricks and paving atones, wounding two men on the other aide. The police alarm brought the chief and a number of patrolmen and quiet was restored. i THE WEST FALLS examination ot Manchester and Ban-dall Yesterday.

The examination of Bert Manchester and -John Randall, accused of the criminal as-T' flault on "an "old German woman at West i Falls, began at Sheard'e Jwtel, West Falls, yesterday, before Justice J. H. Darby, i There hag been but little new light thrown on the horrible crime since the account that first appear in the Telegraph Monday. A. C.

Calkins and E. K. Emery of Buffalo are the counsel for the defense, and Frank VJhaley of East Aurora and Harrison "Waters of West Falls represent the people. Orvilie Olden was the first witness, lie swore to finding the body of the woman supposed to be Mrs. Mary Tranz, as before described in these columns.

He also swore to the evidences of a Btruggle having taken place; the bruises on the woman's body; the tracks of men's ooote; the wagon and horses's tracks near by, and the appearance the body gave of the assailants having ravished the woman. At the woman's feet was a semi circle dug in the hard ground, such as would have been made were the 1 feet forced aDart. Midway between where i the woman's feet were was a place that might have been dug out by a boot's toe or fceel. I J. L.

Doty of West Falls, who saw the body when first discovered, swore snbstan- tially to the same as Olden. Dr. W. H. Gale of East Aurora, told of the post mortem.

He said there were tl signs of violence. Fatty degeneration of ti the heart proved the woman in a condition fl to die suddenly with any fright or over-ex- Et ertion. Death would have been too sudden a to permit the arrangement of a bundle un-cti o'er her head. The feet would doubtless ba have been more together. JU John H.

Shererd, of the Colden hotel. 3Pi swore that Manchester and Randall were I at his house Friday night. Manchester I'tleaid the scratches on bis face were caused peby falling on the side walk. He did not isee the scratcnes naay nipnt. Manchester eiwore no watch chain at night.

William Elzie. clerk at West Falls, swore: D(jSaw Randall's team: one of them, a four-coyear-old colt, had no shoes on; the bag ncKea up ne laentmea as one Manchester brought sugar in. Randall appeared quite calm, and looked about the room as though he had but little interest In the trial. Manchester was pale and looked careworn. He was greatly agitated during the examination and followed the testimony closely.

The examination will be continued today. The evidence thus far is strongly against the accused. Fnneral of Jndg-e Ferris. The funeral ef ex-Surrogate Zebulon Ferris took place from the family residence, Narrow Escape of a Canal Boat's Crew From a Voyage Down the Raging Rapids. Special Dispatch to The Bvewng Telegraph, 0 Tonawanda, May 2.

The wind and ice this morning broke a canal boat loose here and it went down the river. Seven tugs went out after the boat, but six of them returned unsuccessful. The seventh got a line to the boat but it was broken by the floating ice, which swept the boat down stream. The deck load went overboard. A second line was got to those on the canal boat, and by hauling it taut, and building a walk of planks on the floating ice the crew reached the tug.

But the tug went aground, and the men finally were forced to build another bridge from the tug to the shore before they were rescued from their perilous position. Had the last tug failed, the boat and crew would have gone down the river and probably over the falls. The tug and canal boat are still In the ice, and great efforts are being made to save them. The wind and current are very strong, and the ice running Hew Clothing Blouse. This is the era of grand openings, and in the clothing line we have had some notable ones.

Next week, on Thursday, May 8, there is to be still another, and one of the most attractive in the history of Buffalo. The Union clothing company ot Rochester, whose fame has spread far and wide, have established their headquarters in this city at 395 and 397 Main street, and propose to inaugurate the enterprise with an opening that will give the public some idea of its dimensions and the advantages they offer to purchasers of clothing. The Union clothing company has colossal clothing houses in Cleveland and Detroit, where its success in securing trade has been phenomenal and where its name is a synonym for fine goods and fair dealing. This company enjoys special advantages for obtaining clothing at the very lowest notch, as it is one of the largest purchasers in the world and can demand rock bottom figures from manufacturers. Their grand opening next Thursday will be a magnificent display of everything known to a great clothing emporium and the public are invited to be present and feast their eyes upon stacks of goods that will be arranged in endless profusion on tables and shelves.

This company, it should be borne steadily in mind, is a one-price institution, and its large and well selected stock will be sold on that principle by a corps of courteous and capable salesmen. The Buffalo bouse will be under the management of Mr. Louis E. Steinfeld, a man of large experi-ecce in the clothing business, who is resolved that the public shall see an opening here that will be a credit to the city. Remember therefore that on Thursday night the band will begin to play at 895 and 397 Main street, the doors will swing open to a vast throDg of visitors and a clothinir car nival will follow, at which rich souvenirs ul be distributed lavishly to ail present.

A Mob Barters Down the jratl Boors and Bangs the yCalprlts Beggtug for Hercy, St Kansas Crsr, amy -The four men who attempted to rob the bank at Medicine Lodge, Barber county, Kansas, yesterday, and who killed CashlerGeppert and fatally wounded President Payne of the bank, were pursued Into the country by a large posse, captured and brought back to the county jail. A large crowd of citizens soon afterward surrounded the jail, and upon the sheriff's refusal to give up the men the doors were battered in with a big stick of timber, and the mob rushed for the cells. The prisoners were ex-Marshal Henry Brow and ex-assistant Marshal Ben Wheeler of Caldwell, Kansas, and John Wesley and Wm. Smith, cowboys. Wesley, was a notorious murderer and desperado, drew a revolver which he had concealed on his person and began firing at the crowd.

In less than 10 seconds he was dead, with 19 bullets through his body. Ropes were then placed around the necks of the other three men, and they were dragged to a tree 30 rods from the jail. Two of them begged to be shot rather than hanged, but no attention was given to their appeals. Five minutes were allowed tor prayer, after which the men were strung up to a llatb and sunocated. Brown continually begged for mercy, vowing that he had nothing to do with the murder, but the angry crowd would not listen to him.

The Iioss ot Iilfe by the- Explosion Greater Than First Reported. Key West, May 2.

An orderly who has since died of his injuries said the explosion was caused by a spark from a canteen warmer falling into powder spread out to dry in the sun.

Others think it due to an accident during dynamite experiments at the arsenal. The list of killed and injured fills a column of the newspapers. The concussion was felt by a vessel 15 miles at sea. A SUDDEN DEATH. Bon.
