MBS. CONKLIN ON THE STAND

Cronin's Departure from Her House on the Fatal Sight Minutely Described. testimony KcfrarJinj? the Man Who Called for Run, and the White Horse That i$ Alleged to Have Carried Him to His Death. Chicago, Oct. 2$. At the opening of the Cromn trial this morning, the State called forilr. Cronin, the brother of Dr. Cronin, Lut that gentleman was not in the room at the time, and Napier Moreland, an employe of Patrick Dinan, the liveryman, wa9 called instead. lie testified as tt the facts of the hiring of tho white horse on the evening of the 4th of May, when Dr. Cronin was killed. His evidence did not differ materially from that given by Dinan himeelf on Saturday, either as o tho taking out of the horse or his description of the man. A new point was reached, however, when lie described tho condition of the horse when he returned to the stable abont halfpast 0 that night, after having been ont a little over two hours. The witness said: 'He was in tho condition of a horse who had been driven very fast for the length of time he was out. Ho was sweating all over, and his nostril were blowing. The buggy was covered with sand and boulevard mod." Mrs. Conklin, at whose houso Dr. Cronin last lived, was the next witness. After numerous questions as " to the location of the rooms in the Hat, Mrs. Conklin proceeded to tell the etory cf how tho Doctor was called away from her house on the night of May 4. She said that at 7:3)p. m. a stranger, who seemed nervous and excited, rang tho door-bell, and; when she opened tho aoor, inquired for Dr. Cronin. lie seemed very reluctant to enter, but linally did so when told the Doctor was engaged with other patients. The stran-rer took a seat in the waiting-room. "When Dr. Cronin came out of his office tho man advanced and said: Dr. Cronin, you are wanted to attend a man who has been hurt at O'JSullivan's iceonlce." The Doctor made a remark, which I did not hear. At that moment the man drew a card from his pocket and presented it to the Doctor. Dr. Cronin took the card, and said: "Oh, yes; what is the nature of the accidcntl" lie said: "A man has been run over by a wagon." The Doctor 6aid: "t will be with you soon." or something to that ellect. The man sat down again on the d of n chair, and tho Doctor turned, laying tho card on tho mantel-piece. ..b jiiuii ttaid O'Sullivan was out of town, and . left word that Dr. Cronin was to attend his men. Dr. Cronin ran to his private room and gathered together some bandages and common batting, lie brought it out with his surgical case and a case of splints. Then drawing on his coat as quickly as possible ho left, rnnning out, carrying these things and tho case in his arms. The two went hurriedly out of the house as fast as they could, and did not even shut the door. I heard them running down the stairs." The witness continued her testimony, saying that she then went to a window overlooking the street and saw a buggy with a white horse attached standing before the door. Dr. Cronin and the man who called for him got into the buggy, which was then driven northward. The man eeemed anxious to get away. Mrs. Conklin then gave a description of the man who came for the Doctor. He was, she said, of medium height, with a 6tubby beard of a few days' growth on his face, a small, soft hat drawn down over his eyes and a light or faded overcoat on. Her description tallied very closely with that given bv former witnesses of the man who hired the whito horse from Dinan. ' The witness then told the story of the proceedings of the day following Dr. Cronin's disappearance. In the morning she and her husband discovered the card which the man had brought that of O'Sullivan, the ice man. Mr. Conklin went to O'Sullivan's place at once, and that afternoon a Pinkerton detective brought O'Sullivan down to the Conklin's flat. Mrs. Conklin then related her conversation with O'Sullivan. She told him in substance, that she1 thought it very strange that a man who' employed only three men, and who had never had an accident, should employ a physician to be ready on call incase of such a happening; furthermore, it was strange that he should pass bv hundreds of competent physicians who lived near by and go ceven miles to arrange with Dr. Cronin, and it was strangest of all that very 50on thereafter a man should appear with his (O'JSuLU van's) card and take the Doctor away, presumably to his death. She then related how she subsequently identified Diuan's white horse as the one drawing the buggy in which Dr. Cronin was driven to his death. Mrs. Conklin was then cross-examined at great length by Mr. Forrest He brought out the fact that, within a few days after the disappearance of Dr. Cronin, Police Captain Schaack had brought Dinan's white horse and the bugjry to her house for identification, and that 6he had failed at that time to identify the animal as tho one -which hauled the Doctor away to the Carleon cottage. On the 23th of May, when the animal was brought by a reporter, she identified it. Mrs. Conklin accounted for this by saying that the circumstances of weather and light and the angle at which she viewed the horse when brought by the Captain were diilerent from those under which she saw him when the man called lor Dr. Cronin. The reporter presented the animal under similar conditions. She particularly noticed a peculiar and unusual motion of tho horse's knees when standing, both when the Doctor was takrn awav and when tho reporter showed her tho animal. Furthermore, when Captain Schaack brought the horse it was raining, and the rain changed the horses color. In addition to that, the horse was driven beyond her house, so that the buggy was between her and the animal. The cross-examination lasted'until late in the afternocu, and witness was plied with questions in iteration and reiterationan to the circumstancesunder which sho taw the horse; as to the complexion and color of the mustache of the man who came for Dr. Cronin. etc., but her statement on direct examination were not materially shaken. In reply to a question as to where Dr. Cronin kept his money, indicating a possible defense of murder for the purpose of robbery. Mrs. Conklin named the bank in which the Doctor kept his funds, and said sho was sure he had verv little with hira on tho night of tho murder, because he never carried much money about his person. The next witness was Charles W. Deck. the reporter" who drove the white horse to the house of the Conklins. on Mav 25, when Mrs. Conklin identified it He merely testified to taking the whito horse there for identification, and to Frank Scanlan for the same purpose. Miss Sarah McNearny, who was in Dr. Cronin's reception-room when tho man came for hira with the whito horse, described that individual as appearing very nervous, and with a piercing, disconcerting stare which he lixed upon the witness. Her description of the man. the color of his mustache, of his coat, etc., accorded closely with that given by Mrs. Conklin. - Dr. Cronin'a brother, from Arkansas was the next witness. His testimony was very brief. He identified tho Lakeview corpso as that of his brother. Frank Scanlan gava evidence as to seeing Dr. Cronin drive oil' from his othce in the white-horse rijr. T.-T. Conklin, tho saloon-keeper, with whom Cronin resided, was recalled by tho State. Ho testified to starting out immediately after breakfast the first morning of Cronin' absence, to search for the Doctor. At O'iiulltvau's house the ice man was seen, and denied having sent for Cronin, or that any of his men had been hurt. Conklin then went to police headquarters, proceeding afterward to tho Kast Chicagoavenue police station. Captain Schaak, at the station, thought evening time enough for alarm. Conklin went at once to the Pinkrrton. The saloon-keeper was still on the witness-stand when court adjourned until to-morrow. Finerty Denounced by Cronin' Friends. Chicago. Oct. A committee of the friends of the late Dr. Cronin held a meeting here, yesterday, for the purpose of arranging the details of a memorial meeting, to be held on the anniversary of the execution of Allen, Larkiu and O'Hrien, tho "Manchester naityia," oa Xor. J next During tho

course of the meeting P. W. Dunn, of Peoria, ottered a -resolution repudiating John F. Finerty on account of an article published in his paper last week. It was adopted after speeches by several persons, among whom was John Devoy, who denounced Finerty and the anti-Cronin faction in the Clan-na-Gacl in the most bitter terms as arch-conspirators and archfiends. THE WOKLD'S CIIAMHOySIIIP. Eighth Game of the Series Won by New Tork Excellent Work of Crane and Ward. New York, Oct. 2& The eighth of the series of games between the New Yorks and Brooklyns was played to-day at Washington Park, Brooklyn, before 2.5S1 half-frozen spectators. The Giants won. There was positively no interest in the game after the second inning. Crano again pitched in fine form. Visner could not catch Terry, and Terry left the box in the fifth inning, Foutz taking his place. The grounds were muddy, which accounts for some of tho errors. Ward's baso running was the feature of tho game. Score:

IIE GUESTS OF THE NATION Arrival at St Louis of Delegates to tho International American Congress. Eeception at the Chamber of Commerce and Addresses by Governor Francis andMinister Zegorra, ot rem, Followed by a BalL St. Louis, Oct. 2S. It was nearly 2 o'clock this morning when tho international American excursion train started from Council Bluffs, la., for this city. This was the twenty-sixth day of the excursion, yet it is no exaggeration to say that to most of tho delegates it seems that many mouths have elapsed since they left Washington, so numerous have been the events that ordinarily mark tho course of time. A hoar frost, brilliant under the rays of the morning sun, covered the grassy plains and greeted the eyes of such of the members of the party as were awako when the train stopped at Dus Moines, at 6 o'clock. At all the stations on the route the country folks were gathered in considerable numbers, and when the cnginesloweddownorpaused long enough to take water or receivo an order, tho spectators called loudly upon tho excursionists to come out and 6how themselves. According to tho itinerary the party was to stop at Des Moines for a couple of hours, but a change was made which is explained by Mr. Curtis, the manager of the excursion, as follows: "We have been obliged to omit Des Moines. The people of St. Louis very generously offered to divide their time with their sister city. Kansas City, and we could sot afford to be lco generous at bt. Louis. At midnight, Tuesday, we leave for Kansas City, where we arrive at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning," and stop all day, leaving for Springrield. 111., at 11 o'clock, Wednesday night, and catching up with our original schedule by arriving there at 10:30 next morning, fcenor Bolet Peraza. the 'Abraham Lincoln of South America will deliver an appropriate address over Lincoln's tomb.' Eighteen hours were consumed in the journey from Omaha to St Louis, the train rirriving hero at 7::X) p. m. The 471 miles had been covered by the Pennsylvania engine that has pulled the train thus far, and it is said, constitutes tho longest run ever made in tho United States by one locomotive. Tho journey iiuished this evening is usually done by the local trains with three changes of engines which ordinarily haul only six light cars. The Pennsylvania Company to-day distributed to the tram party its souvenir of the trip. It is a book of finely on graved blanks, each one tilled in for passage between each point of stopping set down in the itinerary. It i3 bound in Kussia leather, and protected by Kussia leather cases, and embodies a ready record of the entire trip. Upon arrival here the party was met by Mayor Noonan and a reception committee. and was greeted with booming guns, and colored fire burned from buildings along the route from the Union Depot to the Southern Hotel, where tho visitors were assigned to rooms. After supper the party were conveyed in carriages to the Merchants' Exchange, where a reception had been arranged. The great Exchange hall was brilliantly illuminated; in the center was a monster fountain, from which trailed ivy vines, dripping with tho water of mauy spraying 'jets, that sparkled in the lights clustered around and beneath. The guests were shown to seats upon the plattorm, where President Charles A. Cox, of tho Exchange, roceived them. On the lloor were seated hundreds of ladies in St. Louis society. Governor Francis's wife holding the central place. Addressing the guests, Mr. Cox briefly f;reted them, and then presented Gov. D. & Francis, who formally welcomed them. He referred to the fact that in the past the United States covernment. like manv of those in the south, had been engrossed latitudinally, bnt he thought the time had now arrived when the nations of this hemisphere should consider closer business relations. Applause. Tho speaker was proud of ourown government, andtbe people were gratified that not a few of the southern republics had framed theirs upon the same line. Indeed, he believed many of them had found tho acquirement for freedom and and self-rule more easily possible becauso af the immortal doctrines of our statesman Monroe, f Applause by the southerns. If. in the wisdom of the powers, it was deemed wise to hate latitudinal boundaries to the trade of this Nation, .there should at least be longitudinal freedom. Applause, This continent had been reserved by God until it should be needed in the development of mankind. We should all he neighbors in commerce, and friends socially. These present represented nations who had proved a government possible without guns. In conclusion, the Governor called attention to the presence of Missouri's women, and he welcomed the visitors to tho State and the homes, firesides and hearts of her people. Mayor' E. A. Noonan added a brief welcome, after which Minister Zegarra, of Pva, responded for the delegates. He said the glad voice of welcome here was in unison with the greetings .everywhere received during the present trip through this grand ana marvelous country. The hearts of the strangers had been filled with gratitude, and they had been filled with faith that the coming congress would have good results. No otUcial 6cheme had ever received so hearty or " so popular indorsement from a people so great and so powerful. Referring to St, Lonis. he said her commercial relations with the peoples of his race were already , not small, and the language of the south was not strange in the mouths of St. Louis people. He hoped they might increase their business interests southward, and added in conclusion: "The mighty river that washes your city points you to our lands, and to our markets. Applause. And we extend our wish for you to have all the blessings that make a people great, prosperous and happy." Renewed applause.l After a quartet song by ladies the visitors were presented to tho ladies present, and before the close there was a merry whirl of dancers on the great floor. Quarrel Over Entertainment Money. Kansas City, Oct. 28. Mayor Davenport slapped Congressman Tarsneyfull in the face this afternoon, and in return very nearly received a shot from the Congressman's revolver. It was all on account of the entertainment of tho Spanish-American tourists, who will arrive here next Wednesday morning. A meeting was held at the Commercial Club this afternoon to perfect arrangements for the entertainment of the distinguished visitors. The Mayor had vetoed an ordinance passed by the City Council appropriating 1,000 to be expended ior entertaining the guests. The Council overrode the veto, and then the Mayor ordered the treasurer not to recoguizo drafts upon the treasury for that purpose. During the discussion this afternoon, Congressman Tarsney referred in terms not very complimentary to the Mayor's action. Air. Davenport started to leave the room, and, in doing so, said: "If I can help it, not a penny of the city's money shall bo used illegally; but 1 will contribute from my own pocket as much as Mr.Tarsuey, or any other man, for the entertainment of the delegates." Mr. Tarsney replied: 'I do not caro to resort to pot-house methods." This enraged Mr. Davenport, and in an angry tone lie defied tho Congressman to repeat the statement. Mr. Tarsney repeated it. The words were no sooner out of his mouth than the Mayor dealt him a resounding slap full in the face. Mr. Tarsney reached into his hip pocket to draw his revolver, but his friends prevented him from using tho weapon. Alleged Attempt to lllow Up a Church. - V - - . . BALTiMDnr, uct. An attempt was maaeeany caiuraay nignt ny some unknown person, supposed to be a crank, to cause an explosion in St. Peter's Catholic Church. Tho sexton, on entering tho church between 0 and 7 o'clock, was nearly overcome by gas. An investigation showed, that the key of every jet in the church, except those in tho sauctnary, was turned on, even thoso in tho choir gallery, which wero reached by climbing over a-door five feet high. There was a strong odor of gas in the church yesterday. It is believed the plan was to fill tho building during the night with gas, which would bo ignited by

thelampkeptburningcontinuallvbeforethe altar, or that on the entrance of the sexton

on onnuay morning, neiore services, xno sexton would licht a candle or jet, which would cause a great explosion. TO REFORM TI1E DIVORCE LAWS. Meeting of Prominent Clergymen and Edu cators to Discuss a Great Evil. PniLADELrrtiA, Oct. 28. Under the lead ership of the National .Reform Association, a public meeting, to discuss a needed reformation of the divorce laws of the United States, was called together this afternoon in Association Hall. Tho call for the meeting was signed by Felix IL Brunot, of Pittsburg, tho president of the National Reform Association. This body has been organized to promote tho influence of Christianity in the government of this country. Among its vice-presidents whose names " are attached to the call for to-day's meeting aro many clergymen of note and the presidents of several of the largest institutions of learning in this State. The National Reform Association urges all clergymen to impart 6ound instruction from the pulpit in the moral laws underlying the family relation, and calls upon them to refuse to unite in marriago one or more persons who have been divorced upon other than scriptural grounds. Ministers aro also urged to join in petitions and by other manifestations to bring influence to bear on Congress to secure the enactment of a national marriage and divorce law that will eradicate the evils that now exist. Bishop Foss opened tho meeting with a short devotional exercise, after which Judge M. Kussell Thayer, in a short address, stated the object of the meeting. The Rev. J. N. Kitner, secretary of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, was appointed secretary. Judge Wilson and Rev. L. J. Beckley then delivered interesting addresses, calling attention to the startling statistics contained in tho report to Congress of the Hon. Carroll D. Wricht. of tho Department of Labor, at Washington, which showed that nearly one-tuird of a million of divorces nau been granted in the United States within twenty years, and that there wero forty-six diilerent sets of laws relating to marriage and divorce now in operation. All Christians and honorable men wero crying out lor reform on this vital question in the social relations of the country. FEDERATION AGREED UPOX. .Firemen Plan for Amalgamating All Organizations of Hallway Employe. Dknver, Col., Oct. 28. One of the most important meetings of a labor organization held in this country for some time was held in this city yesterday. Nearly 180 delegates of the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, representing every section of the United States, met in secret session to consider the question of a proposed federation of labor, now agitating the Brother hood of Locomotivo .Engineers. John J. llannahan, vice-grand master, whose head quarters are in Chicago, was present, and presided over the deliberations. The entire afternoon was spent in discussing the proposition now before the convention. Tho only questions upon which the firemen dif fered wero those of detail. It was soon seen that the firemen were in favor of fed eration, tho various trades-Unions retaining the autonomy and right of 6elfeovernment. In other words, the in dividual labor organization will, under the proposed plau, occupy the same relation to the whole body of organized la bor that the respective States bear to the federal Union. The matter was thoroughly explained by llannahan and. other advo')taa ttftety Tirliinh tViA rnTurTitioTi vnfol unanimously in favor of federation, and nDOointed a committee to notify the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers of thoTesult, i which can but have its influence in decidI ing ine question wueu i comes ueiore xue . 1 , 1 engineers ior nnai action, ine delegates will await tho action of the engineers, and it may be that another session will be necessary beforo a thorough understanding is reached. Another question came before the meeting. It arose from a clause in the engineers' constitution that prescribes that firemen must withdraw from their order before joining the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers after they have been promoted. They will ask that it be changed on account of the hardship it works in compelling them to lose all money paid for insurance. Chief Arthur Re-Elected. Denver, Qol., Oct. 28. On assembling, at 9 T o'clock this morning, the contention of Locomotive Engineers proceeded to put in nomination candidates for grand chief. The Ohio delegation put in nomination P. M. Arthur. This was followed by the nomination of Mr. Vrooman, of North Platte, Neb.; Vedder, of Sedalia, Mo., and Bellows, of Mississippi. An informal ballot was called for, and the result showed that Arthur had the convention almost unanimously. This great change in the feeling of the delegates is supposed to be the result of the recent trial and censure of grand officer Cavenor, of Chicago. The first formal ballot decided the question. The following is the voto: Arthur. 813; Vrooman, 101; Vedder, 1; Bellows, 1. The convention adiourned at noon. On reassembling the convention proceeded to the election of the third grr.rd engineer. The result was not made public until to-night, when Chief Arthur stated that Joseph Sprague, of Canada, the present incumbent, was re-elected by a unanimous vote. Nominations were then made for second grand assistant engineer. Hendrick, of Pennsylvania, and Hayes, of California, were the favorite candidates, but after six ballots had been taken, without any result, the convention adjourned until to-morrow. During the afternoon the convention appointed a committee to call upon John J. llannahan, of Chicago, vice-grand master of the International Brotherhood of Loco-, motive Firemen, who is in the city attending a called meeting, and request him to address the brotherhood. Mr. llannahan appeared before the convention just before adjournment and delivered an interesting address, in which he heartily indorsed the question of federation. Suitclimen't Strike Growing. Memphis, Oct, 23.Tbe forces of the striking switchmen were augmented to-day by the men on the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Louisville &. Nashville, who have heretofore remained at work. The L. &N., however, anticipating trouble, brought a number of men here from Louisville several days ago. This afternoon they were sworn in as special policemen, and will take the places of the strikers in the morning. The Switchmen's Union, which, as an organization, has held aloof from the strike, issued an order to-day calling out the members of the body, and those at work immediately quit. All the roads, however, with the exception of "the Iron Mountain and Memphis & Charleston sent out trains to-day. No trouble was experienced, except in the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas yards, where gome pin-pulling was done by the strikers. Jumped the Track with Fatal Results. Rahwav, N. J., Oct. 28. A fast freight train on the Pennsylvania road jumped the track at Main street, here, to-night. Several persons who wero wKitlng for the tram to pass were injured by flying debris, three of them fatally. Ono car- ran down Main street and into tho residence of John Weldon, penetrating to the parlor. Mr. Weldon's family narrowly escaped. Fifteen loaded cars were wrecked. The tracks and roadbed were torn up. and the accident will detain travel twelve hours. The accident occurred about 100 feet from the place where a passenger train was derailed aJout two weeks ago. t Anotlier Advance in WIndowjGIa. Prrr.snuRo, Pa., Oct 28. At a meeting of the Pittsburg Window-glass Manufacturers' Association to-day it was decided to advance the prices of glass 5 per cent. This is the second advance of 5 per cent, this fall.

Carious Myths Concerning the Origin of Man's Helpmate. London Tablet Woman's first appearance has been a fruitful subject Tor the legend mongers. The Phoenician myth of creation is found in the story of "Pygmalion and Galatea." There the first woman was carved by the first man out of ivory and then endowed with ' life by Aphrodite. The Greek theory of the creation of woman, according to Hesiod, was that Zeus, as a cruel iest, ordered Vulcan to make woman out of city, and then induced the various gods and eoddesses to invest the clay doll with all their worst qualities, tho result being a lovely thing, with a witchery of mein, refined craft, eager passion, love of dress, treaoherous manners, and shameless mind. The Scandinavians say that as Odin, Vill. and Ve. the three sons of Bor, were walking along the sea beach they found two sticks of wood, one of ash and one of elm. Sitting down, the gods shaped man and woman out of these two sticks, whittling the woman from the elm and calling her Emia. t One of th strangest of stories touching the origin of woman is told by the Madagascarenes. In so far as the creation of mangoes, the legend is not unlike that related by Moses, only that tho fall came before Eve arrived. After the man had eaten the forbidden fruit, he became aniicted with a boil on the leg, out of which, when it burst, came a beautiful girl. The man's first thought was to throw her lo the pigs, but he was commanded by a voice .from heaven to let her play among the diggings until she was of marriageable age, then to make her his wife. Ho did so, called her Babonra, and she became the mother of all races of men. The American Indian myths relative to A dam and Eve are numerous and entertaining.tfome traditions trace backour first parents to white and red maize; another is that man, searching for a wife, was given "the daughter of the king of muskrats. who, being dipped In to the waters of a neighboring lake, became a woman. Miss Caldwell and Her Trince, Waanlncton Post. . , . "Von may be snre that I always intend to be my own financier. 1 ara willing to allow any husband I may have a sufficient income to enable him to dress well and ray his club dues, but he will never have the management of a cent of my principal." ' Miss Caldwell's proposed treatment of her prince reminds one of the conditions under which the worthy poor aro admitted to the homes for indigent old gentlemen. Thy aro generally "founi" and supplied with tobacco. S" That "Robher Tariff" Deadly Work. When tho old Connecticut Western railroad was built iron rails were laid and thev cost 6U0 a ton. To-day steel rails can bo 'bought for 50 to $S2 a ton. The iron rail lasts but a little time; the steel rail is almost imperishable and it costs but onethird what the iron one used to cost. Let us proceed to anathematize the tarill under whose iniquitous burden this reduction has come about. ?
