Creeiman wrote thoaccount of ibis niurht's adveiuuro for tho Herald,. and the publication created a veritable . eiiHat.ion and nmdo ISoyton's life saving 4uit f.'iiiiotiH, As a consequence -of this Creeiman later, as special correspondent for thuJIerald, accompanied- Tioyton on his famoij> trip from Oil City, Pa., through the Atrrtdinny, Ohio and Mississippi rivers to the 'Gulf of Mexico In 1870 the Herald undertook tho su premo task of exposing tho treacherous practices of tho oliicials in charge of dump ing the city's re-fuse. It had lone; been suspected that tho harbor was bein^ shoal ed by the dumping 01 this stulT in tho bay instead'of lowing it oulvtOKOii. Creehnan was selected by the Herald to superintend the work of exposure. . Acting under instructions Creeiman chartered the hteam yacht C. T. Wells, and, securing 11 letter from rhe Collector of the Fort to prevent interruption by tho revenue cutter.*, cruised around the bay at night without lights. He was in this man ner enabled to detect the scows in'tlio act of (lumping refuse in the prohibited spots and to secure a quantity of cumulative evidence of the most damaging character, all of which was duly jjrinVcd in the Her ald, creating an enormous sensation and resulting in the punishment, of tho offend ers and tho Amendment of existing law.i in relation to dumping. Governor liohin- son removed the fcMulo shore inspector, and there was a Ihoroiigh reform of har bor, regulations inaugurated as a result. In the Hinie year Creeiman went to Montreal lo accompany Professor C. II. Orimley in the first aMcen^ion of Page's iron air ship. The aeronauts nearly lost their lives in this adventure. Tho ship burst ami dragged its occupants for many miles In.'fore they wen: rescued. Creeiman acapud with a hrokaii arm and a^TtHrpaiii- ful bruises, but Grim ley" was confined to his bed for many a long day afterword. Creeiman investigated the death of (len- crul Custer anil interviewed Sitting Hull and nil the lighting chiefs.of that day. Ho also was sent to write up tho Hatfield- McCoy fend, and was frequently shot at by the Hntaclds, who refused to allow hint to -approach their rendezvous', com pelling him to .sleep in the woods or where be could. Mr. Creeiman Was called to Paris in ihu fall of 18SI), and thence sent to London to nsHUino the mauagtug editorship of tho London edition of tho Herald. In the coin-so of Ida employment Croolman was .aiiit to Home, where }\c obtained an inter view with tliu Pope, and also an exclusive inter vie, w with Stanley on tho latror'.-t re turn from tlio Kmin Bey trip. I to visited Louj:. Kossuth at Turin, and explained his aims and mode of. Ufo. Ho wont to write up tho reception of Ericsson's body in the harbor of Stockholm, and to Russia- to investigate tho so-called persecution of tho .Tows. Ho yiHltod Count Tolstoi at VasniuPoliauin, -In tho heart of Kmsia, and wrote a vivid account of the famous Russian's lifo work. Mr. Creeiman, in November, ISOU, went to England to foun.d and manage tho Jiritish edition of tho Cosmopolitan Maga zine.
