IVcHxtruflr Vnrellabla Character. San FrtAXcisco, Jane 10. On tho receipt of telegrams from Chicago that Woodruff, who has been indicted for complicity in tho nmrder of Dr. Cronin, had made a confession, and claiming to have been a member of tho Canadian militia, and famished tho Fenian fpies with valuable information during tho raids in Canada, efforts wero made to lind Harry Black, Woodruff's stepfather. After a long search it was learned that Black is either now en route to Chicago or elso has arrived there. WoodruiFs escapades, and especially his last one, have so worn upon Black and his wife, who is Woodruff's mother, that they have purposely kept their movements and whereabouts a secret to avoid publicity and annoyance. Harry Blackiscashitrof tho large house hero of A. Schilling fc Co., wholesale dealers in teas, coffees, etc. Ho stands very high in the estimation of his employers and thoso who know him personally. In general, little reliance was placed on NVoodTufT word while here. Daring his stay in San Jose, this State, his step-father's former horu, he was very depraved, consorting with tho most disreputable women. Ho was commonly known there as Frank Black, though Ke sometimes called himself Frank Wade. It is claimed at San Joso his true name is Frank Bettman. Another dispatch says Harry Black, WoodrutFs step-father, in a recent interview, said that young Black was his step-son. "He is a native of Canada. I formerly lived there, and held an importantofficial position.' Forthopastten yearsl have resided in San Francisco, where I have been known and respected. Frank is a wild, harera-searem sort of a boy. From his ninthyear he has only brought misery to tis. He ha brought a cloud into my life, and nearly killed bfs mother by her worrying over him. Four years ago, he paid us a visit hero. He was sick, and we took care of him. "When he recovered he stole bis mother's gold watch and sold it. Frank is about twenty-eight years of age. He is an innocent-lookinsr boy. I could sit down and talk with him, and in threo minutes he would be in tears, but the very next day he would steal some article out of the honse and sell it. In fact, the boy has always led a dual life. There is a good and a bad side to him. He never could resist temptation of any kind. views or misnMEN. Michael Davltt Says the Charges Against Sullivan Are the Result of Spite Work, CniCAGO, Jane 16. Special cable dispatches published here to-day say that Mrs. Margaret F. Sullivan, wife of Alexander Sullivan, is not coming to America, as reported. Michael Davitt is quoted as saying she has been cabled not to comeback Sho was anxious to return, but Sullivan's inessago assured her she neod havo no fears for his acquittal. Davitt and Mrs. Sullivan had a meeting in London. After receiving the dispatch from Mr. Sullivan, his wife returned to Fans and Davitt went back to Ireland. "I have read," said Davitt. "of the arrest with the greatest astonishment. I have the highest opinion of the personal character of Alexander Sullivan, and think that the charge that he has been implicated in any way in the assassination of Dr. Cronin is absurd. I believe him the soul of honor. So far from his having enriched himself, to my own personal knowledge, from 1SS3 to 1886, he actually had a mortgace upon his house for several thousand dollars. About 1886 I met Sullivan in Chicago. He told mo he had left the Clan-na-Gael completely, and had severed every connection with it. He told me he had taken this step out of sheer disgust with the miserable quarrels which had arisen out of the differences among: the IrishAmerican leaders in regard to American party politics. "I my opinion," said Davitt, "the parties who are working up these charges against Sullivan are actuated by motives that are personal. They think that they now see an opportunity for crushing a prominent political rival." "Do you think your views," asked the reporter, "are those of Parnell or the leaders of the Irish parliamentary party upon this side of the water!" "As far as I know," answered. Davitt, "these views are tho views of thoso with whom I have associated." "Do j-ou believe that Sullivan or his associates had any reason to suspect that Cronin was a spy for the British government!" "I am slow to believo that the Clan-na-Gael or any organization of Irishmen on American soil would have committed so detestable a deed as the assassination. I believo on the other hand that the policy of England, as disclosed in sending to America and employing there for years men of his occupation, who go through tho form of taking the oath of allegiance to the United States in order to spy on and betray United States citizens in the interests of a foreign government, is despicable." "What is going to be the effect of all this upon the league!" "Just as when the Times forgeries were thought by the enemies of home rnle to have sounded the death knell of the national movement, the effect was just the opposite." "Was Cronin, in your opinion, a spy for tho British government!" "I have no information that would lead me to form a correct opinion in the matter. Le Caron's testimony before the commission was the tirst indication to mo that there was any suspicion touching Cronin. Assuming that Cronin has met his fate in consequence of being a British spy, Lo Caron, in my opinion, is largely responsible for his death." Murdered by British Detectives. Lincoln, Neb., June 16. John Fitzgerald, president of tho Irish National League of America, was asked, last evening, to give his opinion regarding tho Cronin murder. Mr. Fitzgerald replied: "Has it been absolutely proved that Cronin is dead at all? Many persons aro not satisfied with the identification as sworn to at the coroner's inquest. There was abundant room for doubt. But, admitting tho murder, it seems evident, even from the wild evidence given at the inquest and furnished by the newspapers, that the Clan-na-Gael association, as a body, had nothing to do with Cronin,s death or disappearance. The charge against Alexander Sullivan of complicity in the murder has not a single fact to sustain it. Tho verdict of the coroner's jury, implicating Alex. Sullivan, as Judge Tuley properly remarked, was based on outside sentiment and not on evidence. 1 havo not tho plightebt doubt of Mr. Sullivan's complete exoneration of tho foul charge made against him. "For every homicide there must be some ostensible cause assigned. Dr. Cronin was riot murdeied for money. The crime cannot be reasonably attributed to the alleged hate of Cronin said to bo entertained by Mr. Sullivan. It is not probablo that the murder was committed by friends of Sullivan, and unless Rome good and sufficient reason can be adduced that will in some degree explain why any Irishman should imbrue his hands in the blood of Dr. Cronin. the theory that he was murdered by men in tho pay of tho English secret service is as plausible as any. He wasknown as a member of a secret association with which the London Times tried to connect Farnell and tho Irish parliamentary party. He was known as a bitter member of a faction in that association, while among his fellow-citizens his reputation had never been questioned. Therefore his murder or disappearanao could but create a great public outcry, resulting in a demand for the investigation and exposure of Irish secret societies, and which it was expected would damage the whole Irish movement in the eyes of the American people. Such has been partially the result of tho murder or disappearance, and it is not unreasonable to think thatthecrimewas planned aud operated by English agents to secure the ends for which tho British government has its agents and emissaries in every city in tho Lnited States. 'Attempts are being made by the 6ame agents, or by their deceived dupes, tD create distrust in every Irish organization: Id destroy the Irish National League of America, and to drive the Irish race in America back into a state of disorganized chaos. This British or rather Tory scheme villfaiL A few malcontents in the East

may raako a noise for a time, but the reaction will come, and thc? disturbers will bo relegated to obscurity." The Land League la a Law-Obylnc Society. Chicago, June 13.-P. W. Dunne, of Fckin. 111., formerly of Chicago, received today a letter in response, ho says, to a "request for the president of the Irish National Leaguo of America to speak out publicly." Mr. Dunne claims to be the person who originated the charges against Alexander Sullivan as far back as 1882. Tho year following, Mr. Sullivan was elected as tho first president of the loagno in this conntry. Mr. Dunne, this evening, expressed dissatisfaction with the tone of the letter from Sullivan's successor, intimating that it was not as radical as was desired. The letter is as follows: Lincoln, Neb., June 14. To P. W. Dunne, Esq.: Dear Sir The members of the Irish National Land League of America are law-abiding citizenM of the United States, and hold murder in as much abhorrence as any other element of the community 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 whoAe wish is father to the thought would for an instant couple the name of the Irish National League of America with crime of any kind, much less with the deplorable trncedy of which your city has been the theater. There Is, therefore, no necessity for protests or apologies of any kind from tho Irish National League of America in connection with the murder of Dr. Cronin. A foul crime has been committed. The laws of the country have been outraged, and it Is the duty of the otlicers of the law to ll nd out and punish the criminal. Yours faithfully, John Fitzglrjlld, President Irish National Land League of America. A TRUST OF THEIR OWN.

How Three Men Successfully Robbed a Refinery of 58,000 Worth of Sugar. New York, June 16. Three men who formed a sugar trust in their unique way, and who have been making a small fortune for the past three years, have come to grief and are now prisoners at police headquarters. They are George H. Coggswell, JohnMohler and Mr. W. Vautyne, of the firm of Vantyno &Werhmann. Coggswell has been the trusted truckman of the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company for years. Mohler has been receiving clerk for the firm of Austin, Nichols & Co., wholesale grocers. A member of the latter firm recentiy called on Inspector Byrnes and informed nim that their firm was being robbed of sugar inan unaccountable way. Detectives were at once put on the case, and they discovered that Coggswell and Mohler were in collusion. Thoy subsequently learned that when Coggswell was sent with twentyfive barrels of sugar to be delivered to Austin, Niohola & Co., he always left ten of the barrels at the store of Vantine & Wehrxnan, and that Mohler would always sign for the receipt of twenty-five barrels at the store of Austin, Nichols & Co. The three prisoners have confessed to theft, but Vantine claims that he believed the sugar he received came direct from the refinery. He had been paying 10 a barrel for loaf sugar and $12 for granulated. This is about onehalf of the real value. During the existence of this system of theft it is estimated that upwards of 50 barrels of sugar have been stolen, the aggregate value of which is about $8,000. Reported Destruction of a Kansas Town.

Absolutely Pure. AMERICAN OFFICIALS IN LONDON. i Society Itecognires the American Legation, but Not the ConiuL Neir York Tribune. t The American who has social ambitions in England has taken a step towards gratifying them when he has pot a diplomatio appointment; no step, if the appointment bo consular. If he has to do with the legation, he has to do with the court; goes to levees and drawing-rooms; is invited to' suck great court functions as state balls and state concerts-the phrase is odd, but is used officially at Buckingham Palace. Ho is asked to tho great oilicial parties at tho 1 oreign Office, the Admiralty, the Speakers, and elsewhere. He is asked to the great parties at tho embassies all these solely because he is on the stall of tho legation. He comes m this way to know many people outside tho court, and official, and diplomatic worlds, and they, too, ask him; a diplomatist, however lowly may be hia diplomatio rank, is recognized as somebody. They ask him to big parties first, perhaps a big dinner also. If, in addition to being a diplomatist, he is also agreeable, his currency in society becomes great at once It is astonishing how quickly room is found for an agreeable person, no matte? what his rank or want of rank, provided. . always, that he has tact and, can catch theV note of the company iu which he finds himself. Having this indispensable qualification, he is speedily promoted from big parties to those which are less big; hoenters the) inner circle, or one of the several inner circles, not always concentric, of which smart society is composed; his social fortunes aro made. It is diplomacy which opened tho first door, which gave him the chance. chance by which many and many worthy young men, who sued for a secretaryship' and got it, and thought they had got every thing with it, havo never profited. Not one of these doors would have opeued, not one ever does open, to tho consul as consul. He does not go to court, he is not presented. Governor Waller was never at court, nor even presented to tho Prince of Wales till a few weeks ago, when Mr. White induced him to undergo that ceremony at the Oval. Courts are not held at tho Oval, as a rule, but on this occasion tho American base-ball plavers were making their first bow to the English public. The Prince and the American consul-general wero both there to see, and the transaction took place at that sort of informal levee when the Chicago and All-Araerican boys were presented. A New Bridge Across the St. Lawrence. Iron. The St. Lawrence is to be crossed at Quebec by a gigantic railway bridge, which will very materially affect the tralno of the two great railways of Canada the Grand Trunk and the Canada Pacilic as well as an important part of the railway system of the New England States. Tho great depth of the St. Lawrence river opposite Quebec has hitherto been a powerful argument against the construction of a bridge, but engineering skill has overcome this obstacle with a scheme to build a cantilever bridge, which will cost close upon 10,000,000. Tho width of the river from shore to shoro at Quebec is 24,000 feet (about 4 2-3 miles). Two main piers are to be constructed of solid granite in forty feet ofi water, about 500 feet from each shore. These two piers aro to support a cantilever bridge of a span of 1,442 feet. The total length of tho bridge, with the approaches, will be 34,000 feet (nearly 6 miles). The lop of the bridge from high-water level will be 408 feet, and the largest ocean steamers will be able to pass under it. The principal object in building the bridge is to connect the Intercolonel railway from Halifar and SL John to Quebec, which is run by the Canadian government at a great annual loss to tho country, with tho Canadian Pacific railway. This is the only link uncompleted necessary to give the Canadian Pacific railway an uninterrupted line from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean through Canadian territory. Tlovr Hysteria May Be Cured. Boston Herald. A patient in one of the hospitals here had a habit of going into a convulsion every time the house physician stepped into her ward. That grew decidedly monotonous after a while, and one day, while in one of her attacks and seemingly unconscious, ho told her tho next time sho had one bo would "teach her better." But she did not believe him, and the following day showed up as usual. He had her taken into a bathroom and laid on a table. Arranging a rubber sheet under her head, he attached one end of a small rubber hose to the faucet, and to tho other the small tube of a syringe. After playing a small stream of water against her face for a few minutes, her "tamtrum" suddenly ceased, and she begged tho physician to shut oil the water. But that he was in no hurry to do, and kept it up until the patient was thoroughly alarmed. He then informed her that the next attack she had he proposed to drown her in the bath-tub. Evidently she believed that he would make his threat good, and she never had another attack so ehe informed him fifteen years afterward. A Tough Baby. ProrMence Journal. The only pair of lungs that didn't make a noise when tho train from Providence pulled out of tho handsome depot at Brayton's Point yesterday morning, belonged to a bafty.

Its parent laid down on tho floor in a faint, passenger groaned and a brakeman, with admirable presence of mind, gave the bell-cord a yank. The engine came to a tstandstill. and one ot tho hands walked back a couple of blocks. He found the baby sitting contented' in a mud-puddlo, taking in the scenery and playing with its feet. Tho mother was so overcome that she could not continue her journey. Sam Jones on Corbet Strings. New Orleans Sermon.
