CRONIN GRAND JURY'S WORK.
Going Oyer the Testimony and Evidence Heard and Seen the Coroner.
-^SULLIVAN'S BUCKET SHOP DEALINGS INQUIRED INTO.
The New York Habeas Corona Cases Argued in Court But No Decision: Yet.
CHICAGO, June 15.—The special gtfand jury in the Cronin case began its fourth days session this morning, and the indications are that several days yet will be consumed ere the jury is prepared to make its final report. Along array of witnesses have been subpoenaed, and the "jury evinced a determination to in1 quire into the details of the case.
Dan Brown, the Stanton avenue officer, I
who preferred the charges of treason against Cronin for which the latter was tried and expelled from the Clan-na-Oael was the first witness called to-day. He was subjected to a rigorous examination as to the details of the workings of the Clan-na-Gael or United Brotherhood and required to give his reasons for having originally suspected Cronin of treason to the cause. The witness denied that he had been actuated by undue malice against Cronin, and insisted that he had preferred his charges against the flatter entirely upon his own motion, and had been in no wise influenced by Alexander Sullivan. John W. and Stewart "Li. Moore, of the firm of J. T. Lester &
Co., brokers, were again called upon to 'explain certain details in the matter of Sullivan's "speculation on the board of trade. Patrick McGary and his wife were the next witnesses called. McGary was a warm personal friend of Dr. Cronin and was one of those to whom the latter so frequently expressed fears of personal violence at the hands of opposing factions of the brotherhood.
McGary's evidence was voluminous, but rather devoid of special interest. He gave the name of the committee before whom Cronin was tried and by whose verdict the doctor was expelled from the organization, and recited so far as his information permitted the nature of the evidence adduced on that occasion, and the part taken by Sullivan in the prosecution. Mr. McGary also detailed the result of his recent visit to Canada for the purpose of investigating the Toronto story and ascertaining whether any collusion existed between Reporter Long and W. J. Starkey. The witness was unable to reveal anything new in this matter, repeating substantially the same story told before the coroner's jury and several times published. Mrs. McGary's testimony was quite unimportant, ahe being only able to corroborate her husband in regard to Dr. Cronin frequently expressing fears for his life.
At II o'clock Officer Palmer submitted to the jury Dr. Cronin's secret papers .and they were filed away for future examination. Thomas Murphy, treasurer "-"of camp No. 20, Clan-na-Gael, to which
Dr. Cronin belonged, was called upon .and produced the papers, and partial records of that organization. His daughter, MiBS Annie Murphy, reiterated to the jury her ofttold story about having seen Dr. Cronin on the street oar, and apparently bound for the depot at a time, as subsequent events prove, he was cold in death. Miss Murphy still insists that the man she saw was Dr. Cronin or his ghost, and adheres emphatically to all the details of her original story. Hardly did she admit the possibility of it having been a case of mistaken identity. She was cross-questioned somewhat rigorously by the jury, but maintained the stubborn position which she has'assumed ever since the discovery of Dr. Cronin's body.
Coroner Herty was called upon during the forenoon to aid the jury in the way of suggestions to any avenues of information towards whioh inquiries might well be direoted.
Some sensations were created this afternoon when Thomas G. Windee, Alexander Sullivan's law partner, mounted the steps, and entered the grand jury room. Mr. Windee was detained by the jury nearly an hour, and great speculation was indulged in as to the nature of his testimony. It finally transpired that Mr. Windee has been questioned minutely as to bid information regarding Sullivan's speculations on the board of trade, and wnether the money used by the Irish leader was the funds of the Clan-na-Gael organization. The witness knew but little regarding Sullivan's private speculations and, it is stated, was Unable to give the jury any valuable information.
THE NEW YORK CASES.
The Hearing on the Petition Far a Writ ol Habeas Corpus Yesterday. NEW YORK, June 15.—Judge An
drews in the court of Oyer and Terminer heard arguments to-day upon the writs of habeas corpus in the casee of Maroney and MoDonald. The court was orowded with spectators. Assistant District Attorney MacDona read the returns to the writ, including the telegram from Chicago, and an affidavit made thereon by
Detective Von Gerichten together with the subsequent commitment by the police magistrate. Counsel for Maroney proceeded to read a statement against these proceedings as a traverse, but the judge told him it was a demurrer. Then counsel for MoDonald reads demurrer on behalf of his client. In it McDonald denies that he is guilty of or had any oomplicity in the Cronin murder, and denies that on or about May fourth, 1889, or at any vime, he fied from the state of Illinois. further alleges that he was not in the ciV of Chicago or elsewhere in the state of \linois on the 4th of May last, and has Yot been sinoe the year 1882, but u\t every day during the monthB of XVil and May last he was in the state ot New York. Judge Andrews said thatYhis was not a demurrer, but a plead\g and McDonald's oounsel sat down anS began writing a demurrer. Me. MacDona then rehearsed the proceedings already had in the matter. The papers in the case, he said, had been sent back for verification as they were not adequate and oomplete, and the prisoner had been committed on the 12th instant for five days to await further action.
Mr. MacDona responded that the case was yet before the Cook county grand jury, and that four men were on the way

here to identifiy Maroney and McDonald. He then read sections ot the oode which he claimed sustained hie position. Counsel for the prisoners said that the evidence before the justice wae not such as to authorize a warrant for any purpose whatever. There wae no statement that the men were indicted. The question of identity, he characterizes as the deliberate placing of the necks of Maroney and McDonald in the haltar of Cook county, by men who would swear away the lives of these two to enrich themselves. In closing the counsel called attention to the discharge of Sullivan in Chicago. Another of the counsel for the prisoners held that the "prisoners Bhould be discharged, because having been held for the governor's action, that officer refused to grant an extradition warrant. He claimed his client was not the man wanted in Chicago, and Baid that he could produce proof to show that he was at work here when suppossd to be in Chicago.
Justice Andrews reserved decision. j.
WHAT FITZGERALD 8AY8.
CHICAGO, June 15—P. W. Dunne, of Pekin, 111., formerly of Chicago, received to-day a letter in response, he says, to a "request for the president of the Irish National League of America to speak out publicly." Mr. Dunne claims to be the person who originated the charges sgainst Alexander Sullivan, as far back as 1882. The year following, Mr. Sullivan was elected as the first president of the league in this country. Mr. Dunne this evening expressed dissatisfaction with the tone of the letter from Sullivan's successor, intimating that it wa* not as radical as was desired. The letter is ss follows:
LINCOLN, NKB., Jane 14.—P. W. Dunne, JEtq.: Dear Sir—The members of the Irish national land league of America are law abiding citizens of the United States, and hold murder In as much abhorrence as any other element of the oommunlty can possibly do. Honest men are not necessitated to protest their honesty, and the league has no need to protest Its horror of murder. None but those whose wish Is father to the thought would for an Instant couple the name of the Irish National League of America with crime of any kUd. much less with thedeplorable tragedy of which your city has been ——"-Tor sh
There Is therefore no necessity for
protests or apologies ot any kind from the Irish National League of America In connecUon with the murder of Or. Cronin. Afoul crime has been committed. The laws of the country have been outraged, and It Is the duty of the officers of the law to find out and punish the criminals. Yours faithfully, JOHN FITZGERALD,
President Irish National League of America.

TALKING TO THB SIOUX.
Tlie Commissioners Hold a Council with the Indians at Pine Ridge Agency. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Dak., June 15.—
The commissioners held a council with the Indians at this agency this afternoon. All the principal chiefs and many of their bands as well as tbe representative men of mixed blood were present. The commissioners asked the Indians to select interpreters who would be satisfactory to them. Bed Cloud stated that they desired Wm. Garnett and Robert RandalL Agent H. D. Gallagher then said: "My friends you have come here to-day to meet the commissioners appointed by the great father to talk with you with reference to the eale by you of a part of your reeervation. One of these gentlemen is the Hon. Charles Foster, who was once governor of the great
Btate
of
Ohio another is the Hon. William Warner, formerly a member of the great council of the country another is General Crook, known to you as Three Stars, who is not able to meet you this afternoon. These gentlemen will explain the bill presented so that you will be able to understand it fully before you will be asked to take any action."
Governor Foster, chairman of the commission, then addressed the Indians. He said: My friends, we greet you by that name and believe you meet us in that spirit. The great father has sent us to you with an act of congress for your acceptance or rejection. We are here to explain it to you fully, and any word we say or you say- will be taken down and carried to the great father, your questions and our answers andif we talk wrong then the great father will know it, and all that we will do will go for nothing. One of our number ia known among the Indians as a man who never deceived them. We expect you to find' that we will do the same way. You must all know that you oannot now live as your fathers did. The Great Father and his oouncil have for along time been studying what was best to do for you, and last year he sent a commission to you with a bill whioh you rejected. Then he sent for your head men and talked with them at Waahington, and now this commission presents to you a bill whioh is practically what your head men said they would be willing to agree to. You must not expect that the great oouncil will be more liberal in the future than now."
Major Warner then apoke to the Indiana. He said: "The Great Father wishes that your eons shall be taught to farm and become mechanics, and your daughters shall become your school teachers, and that the money which is now paid to the white man shall be paid to your own people, and that you wall become citizens aa the white men."
At the conclusion the oouncil broke up. All the Indians to-night in their separate camps will talk over the matter. It is probable ttey will expect several days in which to talk with each other before they will take any decided action.

The gaa burned ateadily without diminution when it grew less and finally burned out at dark. Although this well is only 213 feet deep it has raissd the expectations and hopes of the Natural Gaa and Oil company juat formed, as no gas whatever was encountered in the old well.

The Casey Company.
Special to tbe Express. CASEY, III, June 15.—A company haa been formed, consisting of gentlemen from Terre Haute and Marshal), and are leasing land on Parker prairie, near where oil and gas were discovered^ some years ago, and expect to begin soon a further search for gas.
DEEP DOWN NOTES.
Rossdale Bee: The oil men have been in town moet of the week, and have succeeded in sscuring '.eases on quite a good deal of the land contiguous to this place.
Lima, Ohio, special: The Standard to-day purchassd the oil leases owned by J. B. Rumaey, over two hundred and forty acres, with five producing wells. Price, 110,000.
Brazil Times: N. K. Elliott, John Heinl and other Terre Haute capitalists were in the city yesterday. Rumor says they are looking for oil lands in the vicinity of Brazil.
Brazil Enterprise: THE EXPRESS says that the oil escaped from the tanks Friday night in sufficient quantitiee to cover the face of the Wabash. It is to be hoped that due care will be taken not to fire the oil and burn the river up. It would be a great calamity.
John Deeds has made a burner for the crude oil, and has an engine running in Ed Tstzel's store on Wall street with heat produced from crude oil. The oil flows gradually from a tank, and burns in a small pan. A jet of steam creates a draft aa strong 88 desirable, and draws the flame against the boiler with great force. Before steam ia generated in the boiler a small stream of water is turned into the flame by a pipe leading from the boiler and the flame creates steam immediately which aerves the same purpose. The new invention iB working nicely.
The many useful things that can be done with our oil continue to inereaae in number. It has been found an excellent source from whioh to manufacture fuel, it haa atilled the wavea on the troubled waters of the Wabash when at high flood, it haa been drank aa a medicine and used as a lubricator and it now appears to be the beet known remedy to cure a horse of the scratches. A oolored hoetler in the city haa tried it several times and has found it a aure cure in every instance. It is not only a sure cure but is a quick remedy, and the prospect iB that it will be much tissd by horsemen.
Edward Atkinaon, of Boston, is at the head of mutual insurance concerns which underwrite some five hundred millions of mill property. In a good many of these mills the Standard oil people have endeavored to introduce petroleum as fuel, which, too cheaply refined, haa a higher inflammability than Mr. Atkinson deems proper and sate. Hence haa resulted a combat in whioh the Boston insurer will very probably win a victory over the New York monopolists, and oblige them to remodel and modernize their methoda of diatilling fuel oila. Mr. Atkinson, by making the prevention of fire the cardinal principle of insurance, haa reduced its coet to manufactoriee fully seventy five per cent

Soon after the flow'of oil began at the Diall well, the gentlemen interacted in that company took means to have the product thoroughly investigated by reliable an competent experts, aa to ita quality. The oil was sent away quietly, no on* outside the inner circle knowing when.. A report has been reoeived, and the gentlemen interacted are highly pleased with it In a general way it may be said that it is found that tbe oil is of unusual value, because of the large per centageof valuable producta aecured from it, such as a paraffins, for instance. If any doubt obtained, heretofore, on that point, the action of the Standard oil company, who, of course, made a thorough analysiaof the oil, Bhould be conclusive. The company, through Mr. McDowell, has purchassd ground, and began the erection of a storage tank of a capacity of 35,000 gallons, north of the city. The Guarantee company, which now includes the Diall .company, has contracted forja like tank of 36,000 gallons capacity. These tt aks areof boiler iron, ninety-three feet at the base and twenty feet nigh. The iron at the bass is onehalf inch in thickness and at the top three-sixteenths of an inch.

A Ptotont From the Cambria Iron Company to tl» Governor —Ttie Death Ust.
JOHNSTOWN, Fa, June 15.—Sunshine has succeeded the morning ehower, and this iethe first bright ^."^tide Johnstown hae ieen for a ««pb^)n the general principle that rain can not fall perpetually, the 7,000 men who are anxious to clean up thia mined city are hoping tor fair weather from thie on. The sOonemaugh ia swollen, and its ruahing mutant reminds Johnstown of the dsy preceding the flood. The high water is an advantage, however, ae it carries away great portion of the impuritiea lodged along the river banks.
Engineer Phillipe hee reeorted to 300pound dynamite cartridgee to dear up the portion of the meek known as the raft. Tbia morning the flrat charge of that aize frightened the town and ehook the houasa. Half ot the windows in the Millvale sohool house were shattered, and on Proepect hill, juat opposite, the chimneye came rattling down upon the houeetope. The next charge waa diminaomewhat. Adjutant General Haetinge wae informed to-day that the Iliiladelphia delegation of Governor Beaver's commission had started west thia morning. Their misaion is underetood to be the distribution of the governorY million-dollar loan.
Thia. morning the state board of health began a aaoitarjr survey of tbe towns of the Oonemaugh valley, from South Fork to Nineveh. A complete census of familisa and a report of the condition of health and living will be made. But two bodiee bed been discovered at noon. The unidentified body of a boy waa found above the stone bi idge ana that of an old man onjMain street.
Msjor Phillips' dynamiters have had Johnstown in a state ot nervous terror all day, and thie evening General Manager John Fulton, of the Cambria iron company, dictated a forcible protect to Governor Beaver, Btating that the mills and offioe of the company were being ruined by the bleats, that Adjutant General Heatings had paid no attention to two requests for its discontinuance, and that the etate would be held reeponsible for any further damage done. The message was filed in the telegraph offioe with inetructions that it be put upon the wiree aa soon aa another blest was fired. In the meantime Adjutant General Hastings had gained communication with Major Phillipe and an order to discontinue the blssting went into effect. The msessge did not go to the governor, but General Manager Fulton showed it to the Associated Press reporter and said: "I do not bold General Hastings responsible for this dynamiting. It is the height of nonsenee, however, to use such heavy blaate ao near valuable buildings. My superintendent reports that the damp walle of the mills are giving away under the Bhocks, and here in my own offioe the ceiling has opened a quarter of an inch within the paat three hours. Buildings in Johnstown are in too delicate a condition to be trifled with by dynamiters." Major Phillipa has been engsged since Wednesday in blowing out the wreckage in the channel of the Conemaugh above the stone bridge. He was anxious to have a. passage for the water by this evening, and to that end put in a 500blaat of dynamite at noon. The blast waa plaosd under two buildings, one of which was lying upon the other and both of them covered with loga. The exploeion was teriffic, and one log, large enough for a main mast was hurled 300 feet in the air. The next blast, not beuig placed so deep, was a 400-pounder. This one did all the damage. The report was awful, and the strongest houses in the city trembled like leaves. All the glass was blown out of the windows of Odd Follows hall, which seems to have stood over a strata of unuBual disturbance. In the same neighborhood stood the half remains of a church upon the B. & O. tracks, blocking them. Chimneys rattled down all about and dishee were broken in housss in Kernville, half a mile away. Asked about the matter, Major Phillipe eaid: "We have used only 2,000 pounds of dynamite today. I have ordered several tone of it The charges will not be so heavy hereafter. I had no idea we were doing any damage. So far as I know no persons were injured."
Soon ettor the last blsst, which opensd the channel ot the river, the logs formed a forge. "A gang of lumbermen were put to work with cant-hooka to clear the etreem.

The secretary ot etate referred the matter to the secretary of the tresaury, saying: "That the Canadian authorities hope that some arrangements may be made whereby the law may not be enforced if poesible to the end that the old friendly feeling of intercouree and interchange of labor Bhall be allowed to remain undisturbed," and requeeting auch a reply as might informally present to the British minister.

The emperor and empress plaosd wreaths upon the tomb, and remained kneeling beeiae It for a long time. The Beicha Anzeiger dwells upon the recollection of Emperor Frederick's fruitful labora for the empire, "which, in royal circles, in German and Prussian history, and in the hearts of all Germans, have left an ineffacible trace which will ever be the source of patriotic inspiration." The majority of the papers make respectful and reverent allusion to the anniversary, but a few revive the unseemly strife of a year ago.

The North German Gazette pointedly inferred to the propoeed operation as illegal, and even the liberal Vossisohls Zeitung warned German investors to\ unload Russian stock as speedily as poesible, in readiness for the inevitable life and death struggle between Russia and Germany.
