TWO ARRESTS MADE. An Ex-Philadelpbian and a Chicago Detective Held for the Cronin Murder. Peter who mysteriously disappeared from Philadelphia three months ago, and was next heard of in Chicago, where, it Is alleged, he threat ned the lite of Dr. Cronin, has been arrested. The arrest of McGeehan is thought to foreshadow other arrests, because it is known that ho has been under the surveillance of the Pinkerton detectives ever since the disappearance of Dr. Cronin on the 4th inst Though he was constantly shadowed, it was deemed wise not to arrest him until other important evidence was obtained to demonstrate how tar-reaching was the conspiracy which had for its object the mu:der of Cronin. Detective Coughlin, of the Chicago police force, is also held, being unable to satisfactorily explain his lirst statements to his Captain regarding his hiring a livery rig in which Dr. Cronin is believed to have been taken away on the night of the murder

RIOTING IN OKLAHOMA. The Military Called Upon to Protect a House - Builder. At Guthrie, Oklahoma, E. A. Weed, claimant to a lot also claimed by Mr. Hayes, engaged a large force of men and began to erect a building over and around the other claimant. The agg ieved party was soon re-enforced by a largo party of friends and idlers, and soon a crowd of S'JO persons was collected. After the contestants had engaged in a wordy quarrel, at a preconcerted signal the frame of the building, which consisted of the floor, beams and foundation sills, was picked up by the crowd and carried Into the street. In doing this, part of the men carrying the frame stumbled over a pile of lumber, and men and timbers were piled in a confused mass. While the disturbance was at its height, United States Marshal Needles arrived and commanded the crowd to disperse. Meeting with opposition, he sent for the troops. There was much excitement and several lights, but as soon as the bluecoats were seen coming the turbulent element quieted down, and soon the carpenters were at work, with the military formed in a hollow square around the site of the proposed structure. One man, named John Gilchrist, was clubbed by a soldier for not obeying the sentinel's orders.

BUSINESS IMPROVING. The Outlook I* Better in Almost All Line* of Trade. <l. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The reports are more encouraging. There are decidedly better crop prospects and a better feeling in the branches of industry and trade which have been most depressed. Iron, coal, and wool look better, and a better trade in cotton is expected. Greater activity and better prices in the stock market reflect a feeling of increased confidence in the business outlook. Wool is a shade stronger, because prices asked by growers are much above the markets, but there is little if any change yet in the attitude of manufacturers. Cotton Is stronger, and exports as well as receipts now fall far behind last year's, but the crop reports from the South are generally favorable. There is a better feeling, but as yet. without improvement of prices, in the iron and steel trade. Accounts from interior cities are without important change anywhere. Money is everywhere in sufficient supply. The Western distributing centers are all encouraged by exceitJonally favorable crop prospects, which are also felt in speculative markets. A little improvement appears in exjiorts. The increase in imports is about 17 per cent. It is an evidence of reviving foreign purchases of securities that gold does not go out more largely. No signs of monetary disturbance appear. The failures number 229, as compared with 252 the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 225. NO MONEY FOR THE SOLDIERS. The Pension Appropriation for Next Year Insufficient. The pension appropriation acts for the current fiscal year appropriated 588.400,000, including 48,000,000 to meet a threatened deficiency. Chief Bell, of the agents’ division of the pension office, says It is true that this amount has all been drawn from the Treasury, but that more than $16,000,000 remains in the hands of the 18 pension agents with which to meet the quarterly payments which fall due on June 4. It is thought that this amount, will nearly suffice until July 1, when the appropriation for the next fiscal year will become available. Mr. Bell says that the appropriation for the next fiscal year, $80,400,000, is too small, and that there will be a deficiency of about $15,000,000. Gen. Black, he says, did not ask for enough money to prevent a deficiency even on the basis of expenditures then existing.

It is said to be the desire of the Combine to repurchase the university property, which was formerly held by the Chicago Baptists, and make it the site ot the university. The fund must reach $1,000,000 before definite plans are agreed upon, but no difficulty is expected in raising the balance. DEATH OF LAURA BRIDGMAN.

DR. CRONIN MURDERED.

HIS MUTILATED BODY FOUND IN CHICAGO. His Head Horribly Gashed with a Hatchet and His Naked Corpse Thrown Into a Sewer Catch-Basin—The Swollen Body Fully Identified by His Friends. [Chicago telegram.] Dr. P. H. Cronin was indeed murdered. His body, doubled up in a catchlasin at Evanston avenve and North Fifty-ninth street, Lake View, was found by a guig of ditch cleaners Wednesday afternoon. Twenty-five of Cronin’s friends identified the corpse. The finding of the body intensifies lhe mystery. The w.llest speculations a:e indulged. Henry Rosch, John Feningar, and William Nichols, employes of the Lake View Department of Public Works, were engaged in cleaning the ditches and examin-

DR. P. H. CRONIN.

ing the catch-basins. Atout 4 o’clock they arrived at the corner of North Fiftyninth street and Evanston road. Rosch crossed over from the north to the south side of the street where he began shoveling out the sand in the ditch near the catchbasin. When within a few feet of the basin hedetected the odor of a dead bedy and called out to bis assistants: “I guess there’s a dead dog here.” He got down on his knees and looked into the catch basin through the iron bars at the side. What he saw made him recoil with horror. There, wedged down into the narrow catch basin, was the body of a man partly screened from view by a lot of cotton batting that had been thrown over it. He called his two assistants, who merely glanced at the body and retreat el. Rosch told the men to stay there and at once ran to Argyle Park station, where hetelephoned to the Lake View police station an account of his discovery. The patrol wagon hastened to the spot. Upon arriving there the officers removed the topof the catch-basin. The body was then clearly brought to view. It was floating, face downward, in about two fest of water. The body was doubled up almost like a partly opened jack-knife. Great ax-like cuts were in the head, and numerous other marks of violence. It was immediately taken from the hole, wrapped in a blanket, and taken to the Lake View police station. The news of the discovery soon spread, throughout the town of Lake View, and and a large, shoving crowd gathered in front of the station house and clamored to see the body. A squad of policemen pushed them tack and admitted, two or three at a time, the frienis and acquaintan es of the murdered min, who had been not fl d to come. Dr. F. S. Sieber, a member of the Royal league with Cronin and a friend of eight years’ standing, was the first to see the body. He looked at it long and doubtfully “My impression, ” said he, “isthat it is the body o’ Dr. Cronin, but I won’t be positive.” Janies F. Scanlan, one of the doctor’s nearest friends and the one who has been leading the investigation, arrived. He looked the body over carefully. Swinging by a small silken < ord from the dead man’s neck was a small agate “Agnus Dei, ” a pious emblem of the Catholic church. “That was the doctor’s,” said he. “The doctor had remarkably hairy arms and legs; so has this man. The hair and mustache—what is left of them—are those of Cronin. Cronin was 5 feet 11 inches. How long is this man?” The body was measured. It was just 5 feet 11 inches in length. “Let me see the teeth,” said Mr. Scanlan; “that will settle it.” The lips were parted and a row of large upper teeth revealed, the right eye-tooth missing. In the range of lower teeth was one conspicuously black.

‘ Those are the teeth of Dr. Cronin, and lam certain this is his body. I can’t'Stand this; let me get out.” As Mr. Scenan went out Mr. T. T. Conkiin, looking sick and ft int, came in and looked at the discolored mass of flesh for fully fifteen minutes and thin declared that it "a. the body of Dr. Cronin. J. C. O’Keefe of 126 Washington street, tie r octo.-’s lailcr, measured the body ai d >a'd he was certain it was that of Cronin. Hal Buck, the barber at 470 North Clark street, who has dressed the doctor’s hair ana beard for more than a year, recognized the remains as those of the doctor. There was seven horrible wounds on the bead apparently inflicted with a hatchet or some similar weapon. Dr. J. R. Brandt of the county hospital made a careful examination cf the wounds. He described the wounds as follows: A wound on the left temple, at the corner of the left eye, one and one-half inches long. This wound crushed the skull and ' may have caused instant death. A wound one and one-half inches long, cut to the skull, on the left parietal bone and extending to the frontal bone. A wound, also cut to the skull, three inchos in length on the occipital bone at its juncture with the parietal lone. A cut over the occipital bone Io or nehes long. A cut over the ri.ht parietal bone two inches in length. A heavy < outusion on the frontal bone, near the edge of the hair. A bruise on the right leg near the knee. In plain language the skull was crushed at the outer corner of the left eye; there was a big dent in the forehead; a cut nearly two inches long on top of the head; a cut over two inches iong midway between the left ear and the top of the’ head; another cut joining this at the lower end and extending toward the lefttemple for two inches; a huge < cut nearly four inches long on the back of the head, extending nearly from ear to ear, and a. gash under the chin.
