Ohio, Ended. WAR AT RIO ENDED. Admiral De llama Surrender* to Velxoto. Washington special: The State Department has received two important dispatches from Minister Thompson at Rio. The first one stated that Admiral Saldanha DeGama had offered through the Portuguese naval commander to surrender on condition that ho and his followers should be guaranteed safety. This message was brought to President Peixoto by the Portuguese officer in person. Peixoto’s reply is not given, but it is inferred from the second dispatch of Minister Thompson, received two hours later than the first, that the terms were favorably received. According to the second dispatch Admiral DaGama had left his ship and gone on board the Portuguese vessel as an asylum. Secretary Gresham understands from the dispatches that the war has virtually ended and is gratified that the result has been reached in time to avoid further bloodshed. Minister Mendonca says that he has received information fully in accordance with those of the State Department but giving no further particulars. The Portuguese are said to recogBize a principle of international law, Sow obsolete, by which the right of asylum is granted temporarily by a neutral power to a defeated belligerent This right has not been recognized of late years by most nations, except in the cases of half-civilized peoples, moreover the Brazilian Insurgents have never been recognized by anybody as belligerents. There is therefore some speculation as to the exact meaning of the action of the Portuguese commander. Fighting; for Time. Lansing, (Mich.,) special: The March term of the circuit court has begun. The attorney for Marcus Paterson, accused of conspiracy in connection with the State salary amendment frauds, announced that he would move a continuance. The attorney for Attorney General Ellis and Frank A. Potter announced that he would apply for a mandamus to compel the prosecuting attorney to furnish a copy of the testimony taken before the grand jury, and intimated that the disposition of this motion will be followed by another for a continuance. Similar intentions were announced by the attorneys for the members of the State Board of Canvassers. Libel Suits Dismissed. Honolulu specia: Some months ago v W. G. Smith, editor of tile Star, attacked in his paper Charles Wilson, ex-queen’s marshal and alleged paramour. Wilson had Smith arrested five times on suits for criminal libel. Smith claimed he intended to subpoena the ex-queen as a witness. The other day the cases against Smith were all dropped on account, it is said, of the intention of forcing Liliuokalaui to take the witness stand. This is taken as a sign that the loyalists have given up all hopes of restoration, as in that event the queen could not be summoned. Chewed Off His Ear. * Joseph A. Jackson, President of the St. Louis Typographical Union, while playing cards with friends in a saloon, was attacked bv Thomas Costello, a printer. Both are powerful men and fought desperately. When separated it was found that Jackson had chewed one of Costello's ears entirely off. Jacksen was also badly used up. Costello was taken to the dispensary and . the missing organ stitched to his head. A charge of assault and a chunter charge of mayhem were sworn out. ft Wrecked in a Cut. Burlington (Vt.) special: The express from Boston to Montreal, via Concord, over the Central Vermont jSuroShJßijLinto two large boulders in Rock Cut,“Htout three miles south of wrecking * the engine, baggate and mail cars, and killing Engineer McKenna. The fireman, W. R. Simpson, had his shoulder dislocated and two mail clerks were seriously but not fatally bruised. None •f the passengers were seriously injured. A Big Saving. A tailor named Dowe, residing at Mannheim. Germany, has submitted to the war office a blank cartridge of his own invention, the cost of which is only three pfennigs. It is estimated that the adoption of Down’s cartridge will reduce.the expense of the annual military maneuv r-by I." marks. Saloon fterw.

The street railway strike at Youngstown, Ohio, is qff and cars are running. The old. men were reinstated at former wages, thereby successfully ' resisting the Iff per cent, reduction. A Fiendish Plot. A special from Wheeling says that the authorities of Portland. Ohio, in Jefferson County, discovered a fiendish teat unsuccessful attempt to blow up the City Hall at that place. An infernal machine, composed of two four-pound sticks of dynamite, a nhro glyeerim cartridge, and a fuse, was founa in .it* cellar of the building. The fuse had been ignited, but foi some cause refused to burn and the deadly stuff did not explode. The au thoriues are investigating and think they ’ can unearth a big plot to destroy {ha hnllding and kill several hundred Beepie. They think the explosives were placed there on Washington’s

birthday, during a patriotic celebration in the, building. The dynamite was placed under the floor on which SOO people stood.' a di shy plotter. Queen LU Believed to Be Railing an Array. Advices from Honolulu to March 3, brought by the Australia, which has arrived at San Francisco, say that every steamer which has arrived at that port during the last three months has Drought a number of steerage passengers, who seemed to. havo no visible means of support and no good reason for coming to the islands. This has occurred so often and Honolulu is becoming so overrun with these strangers that the idea has become prevalent that they have come in the interests of the ex-Queen. It has been reported to the Government, and on seemingly good authority, that agents of Liliuokalani have been recruiting men in both the United States and British Columbia—principally the latter. For some time the government refused to believe such rumors, but of late suspicion has been aroused, and active steps have been taken to nip in the bud any plot tne royalists may have of restoring the Queen by force. It is claimed that a number of these men have enlisted in the army, are ready at the first sign of trouble to join tho royalists in an attack ujton the Government. _ An Avalanche. A freight train on the Fort Wayne Railroad near Kenwood, Pa., was struck by a landslide and hurled into Beaver River. Tho engine turned over and rolled down an embankment twenty-five feet high. The engineer, fireman, and brakeman, who were on the engine, were all badly hurt. The train crew had been warned of the danger, but determined to attempt to run by it. Just as the engine “was passing one of the most, exposed portions under the cliff, the rocks came down, knocking the engine completely over the tank and tearing up the track for a considerable distance. The avalanche came so suddenly that the men in the engine had no chance to save themselves. As the engine turned over on its side they jumped out on the upper side, but were carried down by the rocks and debris of the landside. They are badly cut and bruised by the fall. Military Change*. In anticipation of Major-General O. O. Howard being relieved ot tho command of the Department of tho East, and lieing granted a leave of absence until his retirement November 8, Major-General Nelson A. Miles has made formal application to be transferred from the Department of Missouri to the Department of the East. Gen. Miles will be next in rank to Gen, Schofield, when Gen. Howard retires, hence it is believed that his application will be granted in June. This done there will be a general distribution of commands, with the probability, it by officers, that the request of the southern representatives for the establishment of the Department of the South will be favorably acted upon. Double Tragedy. A double tragedy was revealed at Logansport, Ind., recently. The body of Philip Petrie was found on the Wabash Railroad near the city with the head missing. Petrie had committed suicide. The Coroner went to the Petrie home to summon Mrs. Petrie to testify at the inquest. The house Seemed to be deserted and an entrance was forced as soon as the indications would justify. The dead body Os Mrs. Petrie was found on the bed in a decomposed state. She had evidently been dead several days. On the bed was a note in which Pfltrie said his wife had been unfaithful and he had determined to put an end co their misery. After killing his wife Petrie went to the railroad and committed suicide. Hole lu Broadway. New York special: Tho bottom fell out of Broadway, at the northeast corner of Tenth street, leaving a big hole fifteen by twenty feet, and about fifteen feet deep. The hole is cross-sectioned by a network of gas and water pipes, and extends far out under Broadway. The cave-in was caused by a defective sewer. The gradual sucking away of the sand has been going on for some time, and it is a little short of a miracle that the thin shell of cement and granite blocks should have held the heavy trucks that daily pass over that spot. It is a mystery where the sand has gone to. It is believed that it will block other sewers in the vicinity, and cause serious disturbance. A .Judge Roasts a Grand Jury. The Lake County, Indiana, Grand Jury, drawn to investigate the Roby race track and pool selling resort, was instructed when drawn that it would not be necessary for it to visit that resort but to summon witnesses to give testimony upon the subject. The other day the Jurv visited the resort, accompanied by Sheriff Frederick and accepted the hospitality of the management. When the jury came before Judge Gillett, shortly after he read a-Chicago paper contains ing an account of the visit, his honor? was wrathy, and gave the jury-a severe roasting. it is altogether probable that few, if any indictments will be returned against tho gamblers by the present jury. Murdered. Jeffersonville (Ind.) special: William Bowman was murdered by highwaymen near St. Joseph's Hill, fifteen miles away. Particulars are meagre,but it is thoughtthat Bowman was robbed and afterwards shot. Bowman was in this city and assisted to ferret out the assassin of Greer.

It was no wonder that those who listened were astonished. si. l —— : i-i li : 5 JOHN P. KUNZE. MARTIN BOURK. The cheers came naturally from the throats of friends of the accused. When the vcrJict had been read, says a Chicago dispatch, there was a full minute of silence. Then a man, who stood near John Kunze near the west wall, shouted, “Three cheers for Daniel Coughlin.” The yell which went upso excited Judge Tuthill that he leaned to his feel and commanded the bailiffs to lock the doors. But some one was too quick for the court. The words had hardly fallen from his honor’s lip» when acheer rang through the building from the crowd in the corridor.. Again and again did the walls echo the yells of the men both inside and outside the court-room. Coughlin seemed dazed until a well-known member of the society to which the prisoner used to belong grabbed his hand and muttered his congratulations. All this time “Big Dan” seemed to be in a trance. Suddenly he pul'ed himself together and turning to the jury which stood smiling upon him reached out his hand and with deep emotion expressed his thanks to the juro.'B. The man who had just been given his life release had stai tod with Officer Cardan for the jail to go tlppbugh, the formality of a legal release when some one shouted, “Dan, here is your wife."' * The big ex-detective turned hastily and saw c< ming through the crowd the pretty litt'e woman who had steed by him as few women havo stood by men. For the first, time sinoe the trial began he exhibited feeling. The tears came into his eyes and one of the > i/’JVA JUROR CULVER PATRICK O'SULUVAK. most affecting scene# ever witnessed in a coijstroom was then and the e enacted. fie took tlfe weeping and halfiainting woman in his arms and emhracei«r with a show of affection which was pitifu’ to see. _ Then he rnshel'away cry! g, “I will be with my Maggie in an hour’s time.” Mrs. Coughfln ceuld only rav: “Oh, my husband; oh. mv husband,"” Up to this time none of the attorneys in the case had been seen. Mr. Di nahue came TUisfust'as his client was leaving the room, and a shout went up for him. Mr. Donahoe alm st shook Dan Coughlin’s hand Off as he o ngratulated him. Ho was more excited, evidently,than the man who 1 ad just been ac (uftted. Coughlin was then taken to jail, where he was foi m rly released, and one of the most sonsati nal ciim.nal trials In the annals of the country was at an end. x Trial Whlcß Ja Mow JBaded.

In Ink# Vl* w ■ Consummated *0 a time when le Chron was testifying In a Brltl*li court, boiraying the Irish causa This fact added interest In the orinin In England, and the London dallies devoted column* to the murder. Dr. Cronin wan a prominent physician of Chicago. For years he hud practice lln i the city. He wan one of the leader* In Irish social circle*, tho aggressive head of a faction of the Clan-na-Oael bitterly opposed to the “triangle" in power. On the night of May 4. 1880. he was lured from bls home in the Windsor Theater Block. May 22 bls mutilated body was found in a catch-basin at the I corner of North 59th street and Evanston > avenue. Foul play was feared. T. T. , Conklin, with whom tho Doctor lived, wa» convinced that his friend had been murdered. Dr. Cronin’s friends in the Clan-na-Gael were loud in declaring that ho l had been decoyed from bls home and foully dealt with. The oath administered to toe members of tho society was such that they > did not at tint dare to venture ex plan a- » tlons. Being pressed, thoy cold the story . of the conflicting tactions of the Clan-na-Uael und tho enmity to Dn Cronin. ' Tho only clew which the police had to start with in unraveling tbe mystery surrounding the disappearance of Dr. Creuln was a Curd left In his office by the man who enticed him to hl» doaih. This card bore the name and address of Patrick O’Sullivan, Iceman In Lake View, also a member of Camp 20 of tho Clan-na-Gael Tbe man who took tho Doctor away on May 4 said that one of the employes of the Iceman had been Injured.und as O’Sullivan bud made a contract with Dr. Cronin to attend any of bls mon who were ill or should meet with accident the Doctor readily assented to go to Lake View. O’Sullivan. tho man said, was out of town. Tho Doctor got into a buggy drawn by a white horse which the mao hud In waiting, and the last man who saw the Doctor hllvo was Frank Scanlan, who talked with him while he was sitting in tho buggy in front of hl* home at 408 North Clark street. Sunday morning. May 0. three men on a hunting expedition found a trunk half filled with cotton saturated with fresh blood in a clump of bushes by tho roadside in Evanston avenue, near Sulzer street. Frank Woodruff was arrested for horsestealing on May ft He told a story of having driven a wagon that hauled tho trunk containing the body of Dr. Cronin. A general order was issued from the police department to look for a white horse that was out on the night of May 4. It was discovered that Patrick Dlnan, a liverystable keeper in North Clark street, near tbe East Chicago avenue station, had sent 1 such a horse out The description of the man who called for the horse on tbe night in question was found to correspond with that given by Frank Scanlan and Mrs. Conklin of the man who took Dr. Cronin from his office Further developments brought out the fact that Daniel Coughlin, a detective of the East Chicago avenue station, had hired the horse for the man. The same day that Dr. Cronin’s badly decomposed body was found in the catch basin, Capt. Echuettler heard of tbe Carl-

sou cottage By his command Detectives Hyatt and Lorch were put in charge of the place aud presently there wore re, oris ibat “Big Dan” had been seen there a short time before tbe murder in company wl-.h John P. Kunze, Patrick Cooney, alias “Cooney the Fox," and Iceman O'Sullivan. Tbe following day. May 24. 1888, Coughlin was arrested. May 29 Patrick O’Sullivan was taken into custody and June 15 Martin Bourk was behind the bars. A mass of evidence was collected. The amount of ‘testimony to be heard was so great that the coroner’s inquest.' which commenced Jund 4, did not finish Its labors till June IL From tbelr known associations with Coughlin, Beggs and Kunze were held for trial Beggs was Senior Guardian of Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael, und presided when the vote was taken to expel Dr. Cronin from the order on the ground that be was a British spy. Little Kunze was held on the testimony of Saloon-keeper N.eman, "ho identified hint as having been with Daniel Coughlin in his place at 11 o'clock the night of the murder. The State was Inclined to believe that Nieman was mistaken.

It was finished Dec. 1 and the verdict sent Coughlin, Bouck andO'Suil Van to the penitentiary for life, put Kuuze there for three years and turned Beggs free. The finding against Kunze was never enforced, because Jncge McConnell, who presided attne trial, entertained doubt* that the man was guilty as charged. And it was with the greatest disapproval that the punishment of the convicted ones was received. Everywhere it was folt that tbe authors of such a dastardly crime should receive tbe full penalty of the law, and they doubtless would bad it not been for Juror John Culver. He it was who day after day for almost a week, while the jury was deliberating, voted to save Coughlin and the other two, and he it "as wh > finally did save them.

Several weeks ago Charles Hazelman of Tippecanoe County, was locked up for attempting to harm his parents, he being subject to spells of insanity. He was placed at the County Poor Farm, admittance to the State Asylum beii T refused. He died the other morning in horrible agony, having thrust an iron spoon down his throat in an effort to take his own life. All efforts to dislodge the spoon were unsuccessful. Hazelman was an only son, about twenty-two. Sam Roach, assistant engineer of the Anderson Paper Company, crawled into one of the big boilers to do some repairing and the steam was accidentally turned on him. The imprisoned man was powerless to shut it off and had to back out while the scalding steam enveloped him. His Lack, shoulders. arms, and legs were fearfully scalded before the mill men rescued him from the manhole. The steam was inhaled and rendered the man almost insensible. Dr. J. B. Fattig regards his case as practically hopeless.

In the evening a campfire was held, at which Harry C. Hanna presided. A few days ago a mound was discovered on the Kentucky River Ijelow Carrollton. A party of men excavated it, and on digging down for ten feet were surprised to find three human skeletons of gigantic size. They were between two layers of ashes, with their heads extended toward the setting sun. The bones were of monstrous size, and from the manner of burial they were beyond doubt a relic of the mound builders, that ancient race who occupied this continent thousands of years ago. The arms and legs were literally covered with curious shaped beads, several of which were exhibited by one of the party who discovered the cave. The beads seem to be constructed from the teeth of some anircal, and are in perfect condition. < A VERY singular discovery was made in Dubois County, south of Washington, one day last week, and it is bei Heved by the older citizens to clear up a very mysterious disappearance of nearly fifty years ago. An old farmer named Stockslager was cleaning a piece of land along the Patoka River and among the trees felled was a , gigantic sycamore, in which was a hollow that reached from the ground upward about fifty feet.. When the tree fell it split open and half way broke in two at the top of the hollow, and a number of bones of a human being were presented to view. The dlscov- • cry astonished the men who were workI ing in the t mber, and when made known caused much discussion as ts how thoy camo there. It is believed ! by some that the bones are those of a man named Christy, who was wanted for murder over thirty years ago. ’ 1 The fast train on the Cincinnati dir 1 vision of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway struck and instantly killed Charles Glaser, a r prominent farmdr near Manchester.
