THE CRONIN MURDER.1 IMPORTANT TESTIMONY ADDUCED. AT TILE CORONER'S INQUEST. Detective Coughlin Wanted to Hire a Tough to "Slug" Dr. Cronin-Alexan der Sullivan Intimated that He Ought to be Exterminated-Additional Arrests. ('imeAco, .June 11.-In the Cronin in quest this morning, John C. Garrity, a saloon keeper, testified that he was ac quainted with Detective Coughlin, under indictment for complicity in the assas sination. Witness declared that Cough lin came to him and said he wanted to hire a tough character, known as "Major" Sampson, to slug a man. Wit ness told Sampson about it, and a few days later Sampson told him (Garrity) that the man Coughlin wanted slugged was Dr. Cronin. He wanted him slugged with a baseball bat and disfigured for life. If it lIlled him it would not make much difference. J. T. Haggerty, a railroad clerk, gave the most important testimony this morn ing. After the trial of Cronin, he said, Alexander Sullivan told him that Cronin was a scoundrel and a menace to the Irish cause. It was the impression of wituess that Sullivan was trying to ex press the opinion that Cronin should be exterminated. Witness was of the same opinion at that time. About that time a circular had been issued saying that many Scotland Yard detectives had left England for America to attempt to find out some of the secrets of the order, and every member was on the lookout for informers. Tim Crane. who has since ied, circulated a statement that Cronin was a dangerous man and a traitor. At that time Sullivan was not alone in his opinion. Le Caron, who was a friend of Sullivan, was a member of the committee which tried Cronin. He was introduced to witness by Sullivan at the trial as a man worthy of confidence in the Irish cause. He was opposed to Cronin at the time, on account of the statements of Alexander Sullivan. It was given on reliable authority at an early hour this morning that James Moran, a driver in the employ of the ice firm of McGinnis & Moran of Lake View, was arrested last night and is held at the Central Police Station as a witness in the Cronin murder case. What Moran knows about the case could not be learned from the police, but they said he is a very iniportant witness and his arrest in all probability would be fol lowed by several more. It is alleged that on the evening of Dr. Cronin's dis appearance, Moran, in company with another man, was keen in the vicinity of the Carlson cottage. He is also said to be a member of the United Brotherhood and.prominent in Clan-na-Gael circles, and that he was intimate with Detective Coughlin and P. 0. Sullivan. who are now under arrest for complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. It is also stated that, in addition to .-The arrest of the above named person. Thomas Morgan and Patrick Gannon, a bartender, were also placed under ar rest. It is stated these two men are mainly held as witnesses until the con clv-in..o; 4tbe -Cornuer's investigation. TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN NEW YORK. NEW YoRK, June 11.-Acting upon instructions from the Chicago police, Inspector Byrnes to-day caused the ar rest of John Maroney and Charles Mc Donald, two men whom he has been shadowing for suspected coupt plicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. The men are now at police headquarters and will be held to await the arrival of officers from Chicago. These men have been shadowed by Byrne~'s men for some time past, and yesterday the In sor received a dispatch from Chi in the i night returned a verdict that came to his death at the hands of per sons unknown. The jury recommend that Alexander Sullivan, Detective Coughlin and P. 0. Sullivan be held to the grand jury for the murder. A war Srant has been issued for. the arrest of Alexander Sullivan. Alexander Sulli van was arrested at midnight at his residence here. Three officers took the prisoner in a closed carriage to the ,Qo'uty jail. - A special grand jury to deal with the Cronin case was impanelled this morn ing in Judge Shepard's court. In -ad dressing the jury Judge Shepard said he expected a full, exhaustive, impartial investigation of the murder of Dr. Cro nin. The entire resounrces of the County, he said, would be at the disposal of the ~s who would ~~tfy should be made ~to do so. The grand jury had in its possession power to make them do so. There are only two Irishmen on the panel--W. J, Quan and John O'Neil. Quan is a well known wholesale gro cer, and O'Neil is an ex-County Comn missioner. After being charged by Judge Shepard as to their duties in the special session, for which they were called, they repaired at once to the grand jury room and entered on the consideration of the ease. Alexander Sullivan declined to see any callers at the jail this morning ex cept his law partners. None of the hrde of curiosity seekers, who on one 'text or another gained admittance to the cage, were able even to get a glimpse of him, lie quietly foiling all such efforts by remaining at the far end of the cell, just out of reach of the many pairs of eyes strained in his di rection. To a friend wbo sent Sullivan a note from the jail office expressidg unshaken confidence in him and a firm ~..belief in his innocence, the famous cx president of the Irish National League returned the following reply: "I am very grateful for your kind words. Time and truth will justify vou in their use. Sincerely, "ALEXANDER SULLIVAN.

SHOCKING R ATLTROAD WRECK. A Methodist Sunday School Fxcursion Train Wrecked-Probably One Hundred Persons Killed. DUBLIN, June 12.-A train containing an excursion party from Armagh has been wrecked near that place. Twenty persons were killed and a number in jured. The train contained 1,200 per. sons, composed of Methodist Sunday school scholars, their teachers and rela tives. They were going on an excursio n to Warren Point. The latest report from Armagh says that fifty children were killed by the accident. DUBLIN, June 12.-Further dispatches from Armagh show that the accident was far more serious than at first re ported. Seventy bodies have been taken from the wreck and there are others buried under the debris. Warren Point, the place where the party was bound, is a watering place at the month of the Newry River, in County D~own.

TOPEKA, June 12.--News reached here esterday from Jefferson- County of the attempted lynching of Charles Larkins, suspected of theft, on Sunday evening. Larkins was working for a farmer, and on Saturday the farmer naissed his gold watch and ~ring, and accused Larkins of .stealing them, which was denied.

Swiss Anarchists and Socialists. LoxDON, June 13.-Russia, Germany and Austria have sent an identical note to the Swiss government, advising it to ljj marnohijts and A PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATION. Northern and Southern Veterans to Unite to Promote Peace and Destroy Section alism. It will be remembered that on his way home from the Washington centennial Gov. Gordon stopped in Elizabeth, N. J., as the guest of the Drake Zouaves. There was a great public demonstration in his honor. The speeches of Gov. Gordon and Gen. J. Madison Drake at tracted attention all ove1 the country by their fraternal spirit and the breadth of their patriotic sentiments. This incident and these speeches sug gested to a prominent citizen of St. Louis, whose name is not given, a plan for the organization of an association which should have for its basis Amer camnsm, and for its object the oblitera tion of sectional prejudices and animos ities. It contemplates the bringing to gether in this association of veterans of both armies who feel that the war is over and that it is the duty of patriotic cit izen; North and South to forget its passions. The plan has been sub mitted to Gen. Drake and Governor Gordon, and has received the unquali fied anproval of both. Gen. Drake. in a letter to the author of the movement, says: "As my soul is wrapped up in love for this country, i am anxious to see those who participated in the great struggle of 186t-65 finally united in an effort to secure the peace which politi cians cannot give. No soldier should hesitate to keep the conmand of him who has gone before-'Let us have peace.' - Let those who wore the blue and the gray take the initiative in form ing an association that shall 'promote peace and destroy sectionalism,' as Col. .Jones aptly puts it, and when fully or ganized the qjuestion of admitting civil ians can better be decided." Gen. Drake suggests that local organi zations be formed at once by those who are in accord with this idea and he pro poses "American Veterans' Union" as a name for the general association. Gen. Gordon writes to Gen. Drake as follows: . '"THE GOvERNoItS OFFICE, "ATLANTA,'GA., May 27, 1589. "Gen. J. Madison Drake, Elizabeth, N. J.: I appreciate most filly your let ter of May 20, and am in- full accord with the movement to organize the veterans of both armies on the basis of principles and sentiments announced by myself in my speech in the Zouaves' armory at Elizabeth. I esteem this as one of the greatest compliments ever paid me, and believe that such an or ganization as you and others suggest will be productive of vast good to the future of our country. With my hearty good wishes for the success of the cause of peace and fraternity, I am most truly yours, J. B. GORDON." There are thousands of old soldiers North and South who are ready to co operate in any movement that aims at a complete healing of all sectional differ ences. The plan to which General Drake and Governor Gordon have given their endorsement is practical and may result in a grand organization. All that is needed to insure its success is for a few representative men in each section to take the lead. General Drake and Governor Gordon are willing and anx ious to do all they can to assist in this laudable movement. We have no doubt that they .will find efficient lieutenants and a host of volunteers for the Grand Army of Peace.-Macon Telegraph. A WHITE ALLIGATO Some Mississippi It eral of her calves, and most every day some of her stock would disappear. It was supposed at first that cattle thieves were at work, and a close watch was kept. But the calves continued to dis appear even when the'men were watch ing. One night the supposed thief was discovered crawling, as it was thouuht, on his hands in the grass. It was moon light, and all that could be distinguished was a form moving from the swamp toward a calf. Suddenly it gounced upon the animal, and the men fired several. shots at it with rifles and closed in around the form, when it was found that the calf thief was a pure white al ligator. The reptile sacceeded in escaping to the swamp, and parties were or ganized to hunt it next day. They watched for its appearance for a week, but could see nothing of it until one night about ten lays after it was first seen. Several shots were fired at it without effect, as the range was evidently too long to hit the saurian in any vulnerable part. A great many have tried to kill it since that time, but none have ever succeeded, and the wvhite alligator is still master of the swamp. Before his appearance there were a number of ordinary alligators, but with the advent of the white one the others made themselves scarce, leaving him sole possessor of the territory. It is not known whether he has killed them or whether they fled at his approach. He has continued his depredations, how ever, among the cattle, and every possi ble means has been tried to effect his destruction, but without success. His size is unknown, as none have ever been able to get sufficiently near to him o determine, except one luckless indhi vidual, wvho was too badly scared to measure hi m accurately, - and who thought he was abdut as long as a telegrapn pole. A pa'rty had been organized to hunt1 him and be .was seen to leave the swamp and climb upon a log at soine distance from the water. The sjwamp was suir rounded and? a man .named Drew, armed with a trusty rifle, went between the gator and - thes -mnsh4. 'be. wigked saurian seethed to $pptetiaty the..itua tion at a glije and,' iowing ulf his upper jaw, started for Drew at -what seemed lighnning speed. Tha ~bunter became the hunted. He for'got to shoot, and did not have time to get out of the 'gator's way. liestarted on the run, but] it was evident that he could never escape, and his friends were horror stricken at his impending fate, when lhe suddenly disappeared and the alligator passed over him. Who the crowvd became sufficiently nerved to look for the missing man.they fund that lhe had providentiatly fallen into the stock well, whieh was at the edge of the swamp, and was twenty feet (leep. The hunter when discovered was standing up to his waist in mud and water, but was rescued by means of r(pes without serious injury. Since thatI time the reptile has not been disturbed, exept at a distance, and bullets and slugs seem to have no effect on him. Owing to his peculiar white appear- y ane the negroes, it is said, entertain a ~eulir regard for the alligator, and will not mention him except with super stitious horror. He is supposed to be a malignant spirit, and the negroes believe that he will never die, and that it is im-C possible to kill him without drawing I upon themselves the wrath of all evil 1 spirits, who will revenge themselves by visiting them with all manner of imag inable horrors. Meanwhile the fact re mains that the cattle continue to disap pear and the reptile still lives.-St. Loui Globje-Demzorat. No Negroes Need Apply.

Reaction Against Railroads and Iron Bridges -Success of Prof. - Church with His Silver-Civil Service Cranks Love It. PEKIN, April 30 -Last night there was a riot in the Northern part of this -ity, and the girls' school belonging to he Presbyterian Mission was looted by he natives, but no foreigners were killed. The same spirit which broke >ut at Chin Kiang exists in all the Chi nese cities. It doubtless arises mostly rom popular discontent with the Chi aese government, ingeniously fostered by the conservative and reactionary cle ment of the official class, which for the present has a marked ascendency in the noperial counsels. There is no indica tion of a change for the better. In ad lition to having compelled the Throne t recall its sanction of the extension of the Tien-tsin-Kaiping Railroad to Tung 'how, fourteen miles from the capital, it has also succeeded in compelling the Viceroy to o-der the demolition of the iron bridge just finished by the French engineer, Theverict, across the Pei-ho it Tien-tsin. They say it is in the way >f the junks. It looks as though nothing except a coalition of the great Asiatic powers vould ever open China to modern im provements. Prof. Church, with his American ex perts and mining mechinery, is making satisfactory progress in developing the silver mines at Ku Shan-tsu. in Mongo lia. It is believed that he has enough rich ore already out and in sight to pay for all the machinery and expenses up to the present time. Col. Denby, the American Minister, accompanied by Mr. Cheshire, Chinese Secretary of Legation, has just returned from a visit to the mines, and will doubtless make a full report to the State Department. Prof. Church has also discovered large and valuable deposits of iron, coal and other minerals in the region of the silver mines. Should his operations bring in a real, tangible money profit to the gov erument; it will give a great impetus to American influence 'n this country. All Chinamen, high and low alike, under stand the value of silver, and whoever can produce it in quantities, has a chance to command the confidence and support At the plain people as well as of the great governing class of civil service examination reformers.

How Chairman Brayton Was Snubbed by the President-"Independents" to the Front. WASHINGTON, June 9.-South Carolina Republicans are rapidly joining their brethren from other States who have come here convinced that Benjamin Harrison is the greatest President who ever occupied the White House, and have gone back to their homes with that confidence so rudely shattered that its restoration would be little short of a miracle. Like a good many thousand other Republicans, the South Carolinians find fault with the slowness of the Presi dent in finding places for members of his party, but they have an added griev ance because they think General Har rison is listening too attentively to the advice of persons they re gard as impertinent intermeddlers. Some time ago E. M. Brayton, Chair man of the Republican State Compmittee and the South Carolina member of the National Committee, came to Washing ton to look after the interests of his State in the general distribution of pat ronage. It seemed to him that his po sition on the State and National Com mittees entitled him to some considera tion at the hands of the appointing power, but Mr. Brayton found it somewhat slow work. He has not been able to make many recommendations, and such as he has made have not always . been ef fective. Recently Mr. Brayton sent a note to the White House requesting the honor of an audience with the President to talk over South Carolina matters. After waiting two days he received the reply that the President would receive him during the regular reception hours. It sounded to the chairman and his friends very much like an unnecessary snub. But what made it particularly un pleasant was the fact that, a few days ago, President Harrison gave an au dience to Mr. L. Edwin Dudley, Sec retary of theLaw and Order League of Massachusetts, whose mission was to tell the President who should be given offices in South Carolina. Mr. Dudley has been in South Carolina, as the rep resentative of the Massachusetts Club, to look into the political situation. There the eminent Republicans composing that organization have had an idea that South Carolina can be made a Repub lican State, and for some time they have been supporting a litte paper in Columbia for the dissemination of their political' views. Mr. Dudley found a .collection of dissatisfied men of both parties organized as "Independents," and lie concluded that these were the men through whom South Carolina was to be changed into a Republican State. One of the chief political offices in the State -is that of Collector of Internal Revenue. The regular Republicans want this office to go to E. A. Webster of Orangeburg. The "Independents" have a candidate in the person of George G. Alexander, who is a Democratic State Senator. Mr. Dudley has told the Pres ident that the way to carry South Caro lina is to give the "Independents" all they ask for, and the Republicans un derstand that Mr. Alexander stands-an excellent chance of being made Collec tor. It is not a pleasant prospect for the men wh'o have borne the brunt of past Republican battles against hopeless odds. and they don't like it. Mr. Brayton as lhrm A1a ' icag vention, but the "regulars" think that ought not to bar him out fron an inter view with thePresident as the represent ative of .the party on both the State and rational Committees, especially since Sherman has "gone back" on Brayton since last June.-iew I ork Times. A CHILD LOST IN THE WOODS. Three Days and Two Nights in a Pitiless Storm-Rescued Alive and Unharmed., Sn 'vEConn., June 10.- An ex traordinary stoF M''~Sin the woods is reported from the charcoal 'trict on Salisbury Mountain, near Jealls vi age. Four miles from the settlement, in the thickest of the mountain woods, is an encampment of charcoal burners, among them being Androw Fowler. On Thurs day two little children of Fowler's wan dered from the paternal hut. The old est one was readily found, but the otlie'r, a child ot 3 years, became frightened and strayed so far away as to become lost. All attempts to discover it were futile, and when ihe storms of Friday andi Saturday set in it was not doubted thbthe little one would die from expos ure. 'ihe excitement among the burners be came intense, and a searching party was orgaized, comprising 185 men, who, with flaming torches and lanterns, scoured the woods and mountain sides for miles around. It was not until 2 o'clocik on Saturday afternoon that their search was rewarded. Then - the child was found in a secluded nook in a mossy glen, where it had fallen. The little thing was without stockings, shoes or at, and had been out in the woods f or three days and two nights, crawling here and there, without any protection from the pitiless storm which raged al most incessantly. Strange to say, the child was apparently unharmed, and did not appear to be much the worse for its thrifling and hazardous adventure. During the search on the mountain a number of the men became lost in the forest themselves, so dense is the growth of timber, and it was some time before all were accounted for by roll call. The hardy fellows then ranged themselves in line, and such was the desire to see the tough little specimen of humanity that had withstood so many hardships that the child, after being fed, was wrapped in a blanket and passed along the line to be looked at. It was greeted with hearty cheers. The Price of Labor. Northern papers frequently allege that one reason that the South can make-pig iror r-heaper than it can be made in their section is that labor is cheaper here. Papers of a strong Republican bias are fond of dwelling on that idea, and en deavor to make it appear that some op pression is practiced on the negro in order to enable us to manufacture cheap. The statement is altogether erroneous. The fact is that we pay better prices for abor here than arc paid by the Northern furnaces. The cost of labor employed in making a ton of pig-iron in the furnaces she-Birmingham varies from $1.60 to 1.30, whereas in Pennsylvania it is rarely higher than $1.40. We present these figures to the consideration of the ronie-Telegraph of Pittsburg, which mas recently said that the cheapness of Southern labor is one of the principal reasons for the cheapness of Southern ron. As we have remarked before, ne ro labor is as available to Pennsyl ania as it is to Alabama.

Briefly put, the substance of the state ment is that consumption is not inher ited, is distinctly preventible and is often cured. Tuberculosis is very com mon. Domestic animals, and especially cattle, are frequently affected by it. About one-fourth of the deaths of grown persons are caused by it and nearly one half of the entire population acquire it at one time or another during life. It is caused by a living germ, the tubercle bacillus, which finds its - way into the body and multiplies there, if the condi tions favor, producing tubereles. These tubercles soften and give out a discharge containing the living germs, which is thrown off from the body. When the tubercles are in the lungs. constituting "consumption." the expectoration con sists largely of these fatal germs. The latter do not grow outside the body, but they retain their vitality and virulence for a long time, even when thoroughly dried. It is when dried and floating in the air as an impalpable dust that they are most dangerous. Consumption is commonly produced by breathing air in which the living germs are suspended as dust. The origin of the poison, as al ready stated, is chiefly in the expectora tion of persons suffering from consu'np tion. They cough up a sputum which contains germs in enormous quantities. This is deposited in places where it after wards dries, as on floors, carpets, cloth ing, handkerchiefs, &e. When dry it readily breaks up into minute bits which float in the air as dust. The entire sur: ioundings ot consumptive patients are made poisonous with this dust. Repeated experiments show that the dust gathered from almost any part of a hospital ward, asylum, prison or private house where a consumptive resides will produce tuberculosis in animals inoculated with it, while the dust from places where the disease does not exist has no such effect It is important to note that the breath of a person having consumption does not communicate the disease, nor does the spit of the consumptive patient com municate it so lor:g as it is retained in its receptacle in a moist state. It is only when it dries and is scattered by cur rents of air that it is dangerous. The prevalent belief that consumption is hereditary is due to the fact that the children of consumptives are more than others exposed to the tubercle bacilli, which find the way to their lungs from handkerchiefs, carpets, floors and the clothing of the afflicted parent. It is conceled to be likely that the child may inherit a weak condi tion of the lungs, which renders it more liable than another to succumb, but it is now known that the disease it self can be caused only by the entrance of the germ into the body. It may enter otherwise than by way of the lungs. It may be transmitted by meat or milk from animals suffering from tubercu losis. The milk of cows, whose lungs are affected, often contains the living. tubercle bacillus, and the need of cau tion in the purchase of milk is empha sized by the fact that 20 or 30 per cent. of stall-fed cows have the disea ---knf"" ing the mil d t oroughly cooking the "tat estroys the germs, and this is a precaution that should never be omitted when there is any reason to suspect one's milk or beef supplies. Consuraption is, however, asa rule, communicated from man to man through the medium of the pernicious dust whose origin we have de scribed. To prevent the formation of this dust by preventing the drying of the ex pectorations of consump.tive persons is. therefore, the only effective means of preventing the extension of consump tion to those about the patient and of curing the patient himself. The pat ent may :diminish his chances of recovery be done? Only this to buirn the spittle of the consumptive person before it has had time to dry. Handkerchiefs should be boiled very soon after be-ing~ used by a consumptive person; in his hands they are extremely dangerous articles. Ex pectoration on the floor or porch should not of course be thought of for a mo ment. In a word, the cure and prev en tion of consumption lie in jealous and uninterrupted personal cleanliness Baltimore Sun. Autopsy on Laura Bridgman.
