Tht Ownsrj of tha South Fork Dam
Hold Rosponsiblo.
Johnstown, Pr., Jniy 6 After
considering oil the evidence in connection
with tho Johnstown horror the Coroner's
Jury to night finally rendered tho follow
ing verdict: “We the undersigned Jdry of
inquoftt,einpanelod to Investigate the case of
tho death of Ellen Hite on May 91, after
hearing the testimony, do find that Ellen
Hite eame to her death by drowning and
that the drowning was caused by tho break
ing of the South Fork Dam. Wo further
find from the testimony and what we saw
on the ground that there was not sufficient
waste weir, nor wan the dam constructed
sufficiently strong, nor was the material
pro|>er to withstand an overflow, and here
wo find that tho owners of said dam were
culpable in not making it as secure as it
should have been done, osiwcially In view
of tho fact that a population of many thou
sands wero in tiie valloy below. Wo hold
that tbo owners are responsible for the
fearful loss of life uml property resulting
from the breaking of tiie dam.
Chicago's Growth.

this imperial city Is swollen by tho addi

The corporate limits are more extensive
than those of auy other munici|>ality in the
United States and in population second
only to New York. Tha majorities have
bccu so decisive that those who opposed
the will of tho people will hardly rosort to
the courts.
Tho boundaries of Chicago aro now tho

street on tho west, and on the north by tbo
town lines of Maine. Niles, and Evanston.

There lias been a strange ami almost

Young Emperor Wllllnm Is alone with
his thoughts on the gloomy stillness or the
Norwegian ford* and glacial i»alisades. and
to the tenor of those thoughts we have no
sigus.

to realiro that he is a human being after
all, instead of a fly on tho driving wheel in
the enormous aud terriblo mechanism of
tho Russian Government.
Hut the forces which ceaselessly weave
and spin underneath these figureheads are
not resting. German officials are doggei' y
keeping alive the quarrel forced uj*on little
Switzerland with a view to preserving a
pretest for hurling an army corjni across
the Jura Pas* when war comes. The Rus
sian officers are uo lougcr' deigning to dls

SHERMAN'S SPEECH
Ha Recalls Hit Early Experiences In

derful Changes.
At the Fourth of July oolebration In
Denvor General Sherman made the follow'-
ing address.
Mr. President and C’ommdes—Now a
great many of you have been oalllng for
me to oomo to speak. If you think it U a
Kieasure or uti easy thing for me to talk
ere, come up here aud take my plaoo o -
forever hold your peace. Your president
has stated pretty clearly tho torms and
conditions on which they enlisted in this
war and has told too much of it for me to
say any more. Thoy have mudu you ad
dresses which ought to satisfy you. I
hope they did satisfy you, and if you will
be oouteut by suniily looking at me and
seeing mu, I will feci all right I surely
would not think of coming 2.000 miles from
NewYorkCity to this city if I did notihluk
great deal of it. You brag a great deal
about Denvor. It is not so big as New
York City yet It is all right to brag,though.
You will probably have annoxed tho whole
of Colorado by the time I come here next.
[Laughter.]
Every soldier foci* in hi* bosom that I
cherish a lovo for the soldiers of Colorado
thut is hardly to be moosurod by word*.
[Applause.; And for tho people of Colo
rado I confess I feel u more than ordinary
affection uud respect. Standing as wo
now do upon this frail plutforiu looking
out ou this enormous arruy of benches, ur
ranged, i sup|>ose, to cnublo you to seo the
fire works to night; looking out on tip)
mountains, which have bocti my long lovo
—and 1 want to get there just as hood as 1
oau. lAppluuso. | I lovo tho mountain*
moro than Ido the city. [ Laughter. I Aud
It is true, as (•cucral Swuyno has told you,
that I huvo long felt a deep personal inter
cst in tho proniieriLy of this continent. Aud
I wus among tho early pioneers to Califor
nia before you fellows claim to have b«dn
{ionoers. You claim 1H0I; 1 go back }o
849. Am I right, Governorf |
Govornor Evans Yos.
“Well, sir, they claim out in California
to bo 49’ers. lumu4o’cr." | Applause. ]
Governor Evans—Wo give in.
“And I was there when wo only had
communication with the East around Cu|ie
Horn, a six months' trip, or the.v,i>orha|is,
could travel acrossd by wagon with two
horses or may boa cow toam, u dog, a wife
and butternut children iu tho same time.
I saw Home quicker method of communica
tion must bo hud with tho East or California
could not be expected to become u portion
of the United States the Uuited States
as made ono under yondet flag. (Ap
plause.)
“Tho Government always feltan interest
in couucctiug tho Atlantic with the Pacific.
The route over the Isthmus of Panama
was the first move. Kinully somo people
established a pony expresn and 1 believe
once sent a message through in three days;
but thoy hud to chungc horses every few
miles and then they nearly killed tho
horses. One fellow would jump off und
hardly take time to get a bite uud Uriuk
before ho would lie off ugain. Hut very
soon somo of tho abh-st people in the coun
try contemplated a Pacific railroad. Thoy
did not get to work iu some time. In tho
war, brivs, niuuy told you to go in and gut
crippled. It is easy to suy *go in', but to
go and do it is u diffcrcut thing. t
“About that time they established aline
of communication by the Arkansas ucross
the hill*, then by Smoky Hill and up tho
Platte. And the soldiers then for years
and years lived in dugouls. You people
dou't kuow what a dugout is, do yout”
[ Laughter. ]
| A voice- ‘.‘Ye*. sir."]
“I know what a dugout is and tho Gov
ernor [ Evans| knows whut a dugout is. It
Is not like the brick houses I saw
in the town today. Tho dugout
is a pioneer in civilization. Tho
army has been u pioneer in civilization in
the United States of America. That is a
pretty hard thing to say. but 1 bolievo it
every word, and 1 believe Forts Leaven
worth. Riley, lairnmio and Dodge have
had as much to do with civilization und
the mukiug of Colorado as any other thing
- even as much as the tillers of tbo soil
uud those who work in the mines and turn
out every yuur sixty or seventy millions of
money.
“Oolorado I* a beautiful State, all the
more so for tin* bountiful rango of moun
tains you sec before you, for Its diversity
of climate, soil uml ovci vtliiuff. The sim
pie plains of Kansas aud Nebraska have
uo es|tcciul interest They raise grain
and corn, but thut is nothing of marked in

would take weeks. 1 don't inteud to futiguo

that there 1* something more precious than

"It's not boiiind, anyhow. You have
plenty of room here for expansion, and to
me it U a source of prido thut 1 was here
iu the early days—'<•*• uml 'O7. Grant and
Sheridan ami myself came here in '67, and
we went up to Georgetown and looked ut

wu* nothing like n brick house I believe
De'.uuo did liuvea little hut of a house, but
it was necessary logo nut door* to put on

"Now, ovor in yonder valley .right under
the bills ami almost within the heuriug of
my voice, is a city largely built and to l*e
compur. d with any city, supplied with all
the comforts of life; you have everything
a Ixxlv can wish- that man cun wish for. I

the day. Before 10 o’clock it was drizsllug;
nevertheless a crowd came. Congressman
Russell rapped the company to order, and
after ploosant words of woloome to the
President and other visitors and to tbs
l>eople ussombled, ho nominated Governor
Bulldoy for chairman of tiie day. The
Governor in a brief speoch accepted the
honor and expressed pleasure at officially
welcoming and presenting to the andteuor
the President. Hearty applause and ring
ing cheers greeted tho President ax he roxe.
He spoke in part ox follows:
“3fr. President and Velloto Citizens,
Ladles and Uenllcmen:—l did not know
until this morning that the progrumme
would contain uuy mention of my name at
ull, but it would be altogether too unclvl 1
if I did not, this opportunity having boot;
offored me, express my thunks to those o|
you who are gathered bore to-day, und U
him upon whoso hospitable invitation yov
have gathered, for tho tyiondly und cor
dial greeting which you have given mo
not only hero to day, but in my progrcs{
hither yesterduy. 1 am sure I look into th«.
faces this moruiug of a body of citizoui
filled with honest pride in their country
und full of u serious purpose to maintaia
It* institutions freo from all taint. As <
nation exempt from all fears of foroigr
serfdom, it is not in the power of anj
people on earth to liurm ut oxcept our owi
puoplo. We do not suy this in auy spirit o',
boast fulness, but rather in oue of thankful
ness for thut diviue Providence which hot
given us such u locution and assignment
among tho nations of tiie earth thut n(
grout |>owcr cun touch us on auy side.
“Being exempt from thoughts of foreigt
assaults, our thoughts ought to turn U
dangers which uro iiiloruul und from whict
alone wo cun suffer serious hurtn. Wei
should every thoughtful citizen considet
now lie may promote tiie public woal, how
he may hold up our institutions in honoi
among oursoives and promoting both state
uml uutionul legislation affecting thosf
measures which have best pro
muted, not individuals, not spccia
purposes, but tho general good of all tin
people. 1 tliink such mootings us thes<
old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration:
havo in them a very instructive and elevat
uig {lower. lam glad, on this anniversary
of that, the declaration which, afterward:
established by arms, made us a nation
seriously as in presence of Him whose guid
an co bus been conspicuously present in al
our uffairs, to i-nite with you in fresh con
ccutration of duty und to tho weal aud hap
piness of oil our people.
“1 desire to thank these comrades of th:
great army of tiie Union for their escor
uud attendance here to day. Surely tbosi
who in peril on tiie red edge of bat
ties have shown their love for the flag wil
uot fail to bo good citizens now thut they
have returned to theso abodes of |>euce ant
civil pursuits. To all of you who hav*
gathered from theso Connecticut homes, ’
desire to express my tliauks for your km:
uud personal reception."
A* the President resumed his scat thru
cheers wore given with u will. Seuatoi
Huwley and Ju*ti<o Miller made brief ad
drosses.
Congressman Rood of Muiuu was th*
next speaker. His subject was “The Vic
tory.” Among his uttcrauccs wore these
“The Republican party wou a great vio
tory last November, but something tuon
than no step backward isdemaudod by tht
lieoplo of tbo United State*. It behoove:
the people, therefore, to cou*ider just how
much power they havj) grunted and Jus'
how much they havo a right to require."
Touching briefly on the tariff question anl
the subjoct of pensions, Mr. Reed contiu
tied: “The quostiou of the suppression o'
votes in tin- South must be met, not rashly
nor angrily, but with u determination tha*
in national election*, und wherever els*
thoy have the right uud power, those who
by the constitution and law arc entitled u
help govorn this country shall lie given it
| Applause. | It will be tho provinre in du*
time of the Republican members of Con
gross to soy, after a full,freo aud Impartial
conference with all tho Republican ivpra
suulativcs, to determine what measure:
shall be taken."
After warmly denouncing tho methods oi
the filibusters' tactics to defeat the publl*
will, Mr. Reed added: “Unless somo rein
e«ly bo found you cun expect nothing froi:
the next Congress or any other. Hut then
is a remedy iu plain sight, and thut is pub
lie sentiment. Let tho people ut largo ouc<
understand the facta uhnut this practice o'
duloutiug the public husinoss und he will
