over the southern and eastern portion of

wind hail and rain. The fir6t reports that
leaohed this city were that everything in
the traok of the storm was laid waste and
that the damage would run up into tens
of thousands of dollars. But later returns
from the looality ravaged is
more enoouragicg. As it is
it is bad enough. Bouses were
blown down and unroofed trees uprooted
cotton beaten into the earth and corn
twisted off and rained. Fortunately the
traok of the storm was not exceeding a mile
in width and ten or twelve miles in length.

and several other houses in that neighbor-
hood were damaged.but no one is reported
to have been injured.- At BIobsod ten
miles east of here several large cotton
crops are beaten into the earth orchards
blown down or the fruit all beaten off all

trated. It was the worBt storm that has
visited this section in years and strange
to say.smid all the havoo and wreckage of
property.not a Bingle life has yet been re-
ported to have been lost.
A Cylone Throughout North Texs.
Special to the Statesman.
Fobt Wobth June 4. Reports through-
out north Texas tell of a heavy hail and
wind storm yesterday afternoon and last
night. No lives are reported lost but
several people WBre injured. In many
localities the storm partook of the char-
acter of a cyclone. Crops and fruits were
ruined and houses and barns badly dam-
aged. Thousands of dollars worth of
damage has b'een done but it is scattered
over a large territory and does not fall
heavily on any one oommunity. In this
immediate vioinity there was no hail but
the rain was very heavy so that the run-
ning races set for to-day had to be post-
poned. At Mesqaite in Dallas county the hail
destroyed all fruit aiid vegetation. Sev-
eral hours after the storm the ice stones
could be gathered up by the wagon load.

THE CHOJSIN CASE.
Captain Shaack Discloses Some Startling
Confes ions.
Chicago June 4. The many contradic
tory oonfessions of the imprisoned horse
thief Woodroff alias Black regarding the
Cronin mystery were oapped this after-
noon by a brand new article from him re-
garding the affair. During the inquest
Polioe Captain Shaack who was witness
on the stand had testified as to the inves
tigations whioh followed the arrest of
Woodruff for horse stealing and retold
the whole of Woodruff's varied stories
about men whom he claimed were named
Kin and Fairburn and the oarrying off of
a woman's body in a trunk. The
oaptsin was asked if he had
had any recent conversations with
Woodruff and secured the consent
of State's Attorney Longneoker before
replying. "Yes" he said "Woodruff stnt
for me the day the grand jury was in ses
sion on this case and we went together
into a private room at the jail. Wood-
ruff went on to say there were a great
many things he had not told about the
case. He continued by saying that he
was in a saloon on Division street near
Franklin one afternoon with King and
Fairburn when a strange man entered
and took King aside. Woodruff said the
man had a big roll of money and that he
gave some to King and more to Fairburn.
They went out together and the stranger
left them at the door. After he had
gone Woodruff said he asked King who he
was and King said: "That is the great
lawyer Alex Sullivan." Captain Schaaok
added in reply to a juror's question that
the next day after Woodruff had been in-
dicted for horse stealing he Bent word
that he would not talk any more.
The Daily News this evening say:
"Woodruff this morning declared: "I am't
going to get the worst of t although
there are people trjing to give it to me.
I ain't a Catholic and I suppose they will
try to give me the worst of it but
they bad better look out. If I find
they are trying to do that I'll make some
of tbem think hades is not more than five
minutes distant." The inquest to-day
aside from Captain Kchaack's testimony
developed little that was new or interest-
ing. The morning was taken up in listen-
ing to the evidence of the policemen who
saw the wagon whioh carried the trunk
containing Do. tor Cronin's body on the
night of the tragedy and to that
of the physioiau who made the
autopsy. Captain Sohaack was on
the stand over an hour and weLt
over the livery stable transactions of
Coughlin and similar events told in the
newspaper?. The captain testified to tak-
ing the white horse and carriage to Mrs.
Cunklin and that she could not identify
them. Woodruff the oaptain said had in
his latest "confession" deolared that De-
tective Coughlin was the man who hired
him to drive to the Carlson oottsge.
"Mai" Sampson a gambler was the next
witness and repeated his etory tbat
Coughlin once tried to hire him to "slug"
Cronia. The day closed with testimony
tending to corroborate Sampson by one
of the latter's associates '-Billy" Lien.
CAPTAIN SCHAAOK SUSPENDED.
CHicAooJune 4. Capt.Sohaack was sus-
pended from duty to-night by Chief Hub-
bard for alleged dereliction of duty in the
Cronin case. This action was taken after
Captain Schaack's examination before
the coroner's jury and is announced to be
based on Sohaaok's neglect to summon
other than Mrs. Conklin to identify the
famous horse and for not inquiring into
whereaboots of Deteotivs Ccughlia on the
night of May 4. Chief Hubbard to-night
in an interview after the suspension
charged that Captain Schaack's course in
the Cronin matter was due to the fact that
in the efforts which had been made by
Schaack's enemies to oust bim from office
Sohaack had found a powerful friend in
Alex Sullivan and in one oase at least Sol-
liran had saved Schaack his rank and star
as captain.
JOHNSTOWN.
The Horrible Casualty Still De
veloping Most Terrible
Details.
The Number of Dead Now Es
timated Will Reach Ten
Thousand.
Johnstown Pa. June 4. Four days
have elapsed einoe the angel of death
swept through the valley of Conemangh
but no ray of sunshine has yet lighted the
soene of horror at Johnstown bridge. For
thirty-six hours without intermission fire
engines have played npon the smoking
tuins above the bridge but the flames that
break out afresh at frequent intervals
seem to defy the subduing force of water.
Nearly 2000 men are employed in differ-
ent parts of the valley olearing np the
ruins and proseouting diligent searoh for
the nndisoovered dead; and the charred
victims of the . flood and fire are
being discovered with undiminished fre-
quency. Within the last hour a half
dozen disooveries have been made by
searchers as they rake with stioks and
hooks in the smoking ruins. So diffionlt
is it at times to determine whether the re-
mains are those of human beings that it
is apparent hundreds must be fairly
burned to ashes. Thus the number that
have found their last resting plaoe be
neath these ruins can at best never be
more than approximated. Mr. Max Hall
the iron manufacturer is mayor pro-tem
of Johnstown. To-day he is probably
the busiest man in the United States.
Although for days without sleep
he si ill stioks nobly to his task. Hun-
dreds of others are like himj men fall to
the earth from sheer fatigue. There are
many who hive not closed an eye in sleep
since they awoke on . Friday morning.
They are a hollow-eyed pitiful lookiug
lot. Many have lost near relatives and
all have lost friend. Some of the unfor-
tunates who could not go to the relief
trains endeavored to obtain flour from
the wreoked stores in Johnstown. One
nealer was charging $5 a sack for
flour but suddenly the crowd -heard
of the occurrence and sev-
eral desperate men went to the
store and rolled the flour gratuitously to
families of the homeless and the strioken.
Another dealer was selling at $1.50 a sack.
He refused to move any away but would
sell to anyone who had money; otherwise
he would not allow any one to go near it
guarding his store with r shotgun. Hun-
garians attacked a supply wagon between
Morrellville and Cambria Oity to-day.
The drivers of the wagons repulsed them
but they again returned. A second fight
ensued but after a lively contest the Hun-
garians were again driven
away. After that the drivers
and guards of the supply wagons
were permitted to go armed. The Knights'
of Pythias have received large donations
of mosey from Pittsburg lodge?. The
Chamber of Commerce has made arrange
ments with the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road to transfer passengers from Johns-
town to Pittsburg free of oharge. A train
packed so full that it was impossible to
obtain standing room on the platform
left last night. The passengers were
mostly ohildren and women.

ESCAPING FBOM THE TBAIN. '
JonN6ioVN June It is now definitely
settled that at least from twenty to forty
people were lost on two sections of the
day express that left Pittsburg at 8 a. m
Friday and the Johnstown accommoda
tion that was about to leave Johnstown
that afternoon. Edward M. MoCullough
ot tne weBtmoreiand coal com
pany wes among the passengers
on the' day express east on
Friday morning. He stated positively
that there were tw j sections of the day
express and the Johnstown accommoda-
tion caught in the flood. Said he: "It is
my opinion tbat at least twenty people
were drowned from these trains. In faot I
can count that many myself and the death
rate may go as high as forty. We did not
know of the flood until about thirty seconds
before it was upon ns. We heard the
whistling of the engines and all who could
ran to the hills. Among the passengers
were two young ladies. They heard the
warniDg and ran out of the car but it was
muddy and they went back for their over-
shoes and before they could get away
they were caught by the water and
drowned. Next morning we found them
both cold in death. The colored porter
and one woman were lost from our sleeping
car. The porter tried to save the woman
and they were both drowned. In another
oar another gentleman was lost and in
the parlor car a woman lost her husband
and sister and another lady pas-
senger and her three children
were lost. A woman named Christian who
lived in Mississippi was lost from one of
the oars and twelve passengers in the day 1
coaches are missing. The Pullman oars
took fire and were totally destroyed.
bunnino up to 10000.
Johnstown Pa. June 4. Nearly 2000
bodies have already been reoovered and
as the work of examining the wreokage
proceeds the oonviotion grows that the
magnitude of the calamity has not
yet been approximated. Conservative
estimates this morning put the number of
lives lost at 7000 and many men of oalm
judgment and who are not wont to exag-
gerate who have been npon the ground
from the outset plaoe the number at 10-
000. At Johnstown the rescuers oontinue
to bring in bodies by the hundreds. Mrs.
Fredericks an aged woman was resoued
alive from the attio in her house yesterday
afternoon. The house had floated from
what was formerly Vine street to the foot
of the mountains. Mrs. Frederick eays
her experience was terrible. She said:
"Hundreds of men women and ohildren
were floating down the torrent
to meet their death; some pray-
ing while - others had aotually
beoome raving maniaos." Wreokers are
working nearer the bridge to-day -and
harder' than at any time sinoe the disaster.
PNEUMONIA ADDS ITS HOBBOB.
Johnstown Pa. June 4. Dp the ragged
sides of Prospeot bill the same to whioh
several hundred people fled to escape the
flood last Friday nightyour correspondent
scrambled this afternoon. He came upon
the pneumonia soourgo whioh bids fair
to do for a number of the escaped vic-
tims what the flood oould not. Death
has pursued them to their highest places
and terror will not die. Every little house
on the hill and there are a hundred or
two of them had thrown its doors open
to receive the bruised and half olad
fugitives on the dark day of
the deluge and every one was cow
a orude hospital. Half the women
who had scaled the height are so over
come with fright they have been bedridden
ever since. There had been pneumonia
on the hill but only a few isolated cases
till to-day. However several freBh oases
have developed among the flood fugitives
and loottl physioians said the
prospects for a scourge are
all too promising. About 4
o'clock this evening the oharred body of
a young woman was discovered a ehort
distance above the stone bridge. On her
finger was found a slender gold ring or
plate upon which were engraved the ini-
tials "L. J. B." She wore a striped woolen
dress and a blaok underskirt. The body
was taken to the Fourth ward sohool-
honse. Several yellow flags were
noticed sticking np from the
black wreckage above the stone
bridge. This was the new plan adopted
by the sanitary corps to indicate at what
points bodies had been looated. As it
grows dark the flags are still up and an-
other day will dawn upon the imprisoned
remains. People who had lost their
friends and supposed they bad drifted
into the fatal plaoe peered down into the
oharred mass in the vain endeavor to rec-
ognise beloved features.
MABSHAL DICE GONE MAD.
JonNSTOWN June 4. Deputy Marshal
Dick is the man whose condition excites
general publio attention. His total be-
reavement of wife family and relatives
has affected his brain it is thought and
he goes riding about the oountry giving
all assistance in his power and keeping
an especial lookout for lawbreakers and
vandals. He has distingushed himself
on several occasions in the past
reported by shooting Hungarians whom
he oaught pillaging but his last action is
partioularly noteworthy. Deteotive Mo-
Tighe and Offlocrs Gargan and Mulvehill
had arrested two notorious crooks that
had reaohed town Monday'evening. They
were fromKansas City audwere probably
traveling to Johnstown for nefarious pur-
poses. Mr. MoTighe knew them and
promptly jailed them ae Boon as they
stepped off the train and the fellows deftly
dropped several gold rings. They resisted
furiously and struok out with their fists
but wi'.h some difficulty they were over'
come and taken to Cambria City lookup.
This plaoe was full of mud knee-deep and
it was impossible to look them in. A box
oar was then seized and while the ollioers
were wrangling with the railroad as to the
advisability of plaoing the orooks inside
Dick rode np. lie was seated on a gray
horse and imperiously demanded to know
the cause of the trouble. It was explained
to him. "Stand aside fellows" shouted
Diok reining up his horse. His features
stiffened into an expression of determina-
tion and rage and he whipped out his
revolver leveled it at the quaking wretohes
and muttered: "I'll stop their theivin'g."
"for God's sake don't" oried MoTighe
and be imploringly threw up both arms
with traglo gesticulations. "Don't do
that. Don't do that. For heaven's sake
remember we are officers of the law."
After some minutes parleying Dick was
called off and better counsel prevailed.
No accommodations could be found for
the Kansas City gentry and they were
given five minutes to leave town on the
backward trip to Bhang Hollow. They left
with while faoes and trembling limbs with
remarkable speed.
The retentive eye of the amateur photo-
grapher's ' camera is gazing from every
hill. There are no eommonplaoe scenes
about Johnstown aud the little camera ap
rreoiates that faot. Artiats and their para'
pbercalia may be seen tumbling about to
gether absorbing all the sunlight the
soene. ihere will be no lacK ol pictures
of the Johnetown flood horror.

upon his breast was an empty cigar box.
The first shot struok its viotim on top of

ing the wall behind the bar. On ex-
amination the eyes of the de-

murdered man talking to a man named
Sohoek Nally. He had just eat down to
supper in the same blook with the
