STRONG ALIBI TESTIMONY

3Irs. AYhalen Swears that O'Sullivan Was in Bed When Cronin WasMurdered. Saloon-Keepar Donah j.Sajs Barke AYas in Ilis Place from 7 to 10 O'clock on the Night of JIa j 4 Eridence in FaTor of Mr. Be&s. Chicago, Not. 0.-Kate McCormack, sister of Mrs. Thomas "Whalen, was the first Tvitness called by the defense in the Cronin case this morning. She had known CSullivan for about seven years, and on May 5 of this year she was at her sisters, having gone there on the afternoon of the 4tb. After supper on Saturday night sho went out with Mrs. Whalen at about half past S o'clock, leaving O'Sallivan sitting in the kitchen with his coat off. Mrs. Wualen's husband was in the sitting-room with his two children. Witness and her sister returned to the house after 10 o'clock, and were let in by James Monnchan. She and Ler sister eat np reading for over an hour, and then went np stairs to O'Sullivan'a room for a cot. The light was burning in the room, and O'Sullivan and Mnlcahey jwero in bed. Witness spoke to the men nnd took tho cot down stairs. She was positive that O'Snllivan was in the house when she left at half past 8, and 'was in his room when she got back. Witness testified as to tho presence of the Hy lands there on Sunday evening. This ended her direct testimony, and she was then cross-exam-. Jned by the State's attorney. Under ft sharp tiro Of questions the "Witness became confused, and said that while she was sure she was at O'Sullivan'a Sunday" night, the 5th of May. she was not quite sure that she was there on the preceding, night, which was the night of tho niurder. The witness, however, being further questioned, repeated the story of her shopping expedition with her sister on Saturday night, the 4th. and their return to the house, just as sho had told it on her direct examination. Mrs. Thomas Whalen was the next witness called, and after describing with great luinateness the plan and situation of her house, the location of tho bed-rooms and other details, proceeded to corroborate the testimony just given by her sister as to their domes and O aullivan s whereabouts on the night of May 4 and on the 5th. Mrs. Whalen further testified that she heard O'Sullivan, previous to May 4, speak of his contract with Dr. Cronin at tho supper table to tho men. She also testified as to C'onklin's visit to O'Sullivan's on the 5th of May, and as to his conversation concerning Dr. Cronin's disappearance. The witness was now asked to giver her testimony concerning the visit of Mr. Clancy, the New York Herald correspondent, who called on O'Sullivan the day that Dr. Cronin's body was discovered. "Mr. Clancy," the witness said, "came into the house and made pome remark about the discovery of Dr. Cronin's body and said: "I have a cab at tlie door and I want von to co with me to identify the remains." Mr. O'Sullivan said: 4 Why should I go with you? I don't know who yon are and never saw you before to-day. If a police officer comes and asks me to go, I will go withhim. The conversation occurred in the middle parlor and the men were standing during it. The State's attorney cross-examined Mrs. Whalen at great length, and after going over all the details of her testimony again nnd learning as to tho location of her kitchen windows, asked her if she did not sit there and watch the Carlson cottage and the movements of the people who visited it. To this the witness replied she did not. The remainder of the cross-examination elicited nothing new. Martin Burke looked interested as a tall man with ablack mustache took the witness stand. The witness's name was Matt Danahy, a saloon-keeper at Clark street and CMiirairn avenue. On the niaht of Mav 4 he came on duty at 7 o'clock and relieved his barkeeper. Martin Hurke. P. II. Nolan, financial secretary of Camp 20, and Patrick Cooney were in the saloon at the time. Martin Burke was in the saloon for about three hours, the witness said. Wm. : Coughlin and John O'Malley came into the ' saloon during that time and met Burke. On the cross-examination the fact was developed that the witness was a member of Camp 'JO, having joined from a Buffalo camp, nnd had known Burke for a year. Tho . witness denied that he was out riding that 'night until 11:S0, and admitted that he was supplying Burke's meals to him, and that he visited Winnipeg some time ago for the purpose of "looking around." Ilo denied that he had ever sent money to Burke at Winnipeg. Ho was merely passing through Winnipeg on his way to Chicago from the Canadian Northwest. He declared his belief in the innocence of Bnrke, nnd when questioned as to why he did not inform the State's Attorney of the fact that Burko was in his saloon at the time the r..ir.ur was committed, replied that he was afraid it would hurt his business to get the i.otta.ciy ol being mixed up in the matter atnd subjected to newspaper interviews. He strenuously denied that he had applied nix approbrious and obscene epithet to Dr. Cronin when talking of him, or had called the dead man a spy. Tho witness admitted that he was taking an active iuterest in the case, and that he was treasurer of the defense fund. Wm. F. Coughlin, an employe of the city health department, testified in corroboration of Danahy's testimony that he saw Burke in Danahy's saloon on the evening of May 4, at about 7 o'clock. J ustice J. D. Lyon was the next witness, lie testified that on Feb. 20 he and the defendant Beggs went to Indianapolis to urge upon President Harrison the appointment of a friend of Beggs to the office of sub-treasurer. They returned together Feb. 22. John F. O'Malley testified that on the night of Mar 4 he went with William Coughlin to Matt Danahy's saloon, but was unable to positively identify Burke as one of the men he saw there. James Lyman, a member of Camp 20, testified to having been present at the meeting of Feb. 8; that Captain O'Connor declared there a report of the Bnfi'alo trial had been read in another camp; that a resolution was offered to appoint'a secret committee to examine iuto the statement, and that the whole matter was referred to the district officer. Walter Gibbon corroborated Lyman. Hon. John F. Finerty then took the stand. He said that he was once a member of Cougress from the Second district of Illinois, and at present the editor of the American, a weekly paper with Irish sympathies, ne had ijeen, he said, a member of the United Brotherhood and of Camp 1 now known as Camp 20 since 1S70, ana was still. Ho had known the defendant Begcs for three years, but he had never heard or known of an inner circle. Matthew P. Brady, a well-known attorney, next testified to being a member of Clan-na-Gacl CampCXS since 1876, but had never heard of an inner circle. Francis P. Gleason, a county constable, testified to being present at a Republican ward meeting last spring. Among others present was the defeudaut. John F. Beggs, whom the witness introduced to his friends. Beggs and ho were at the meeting from 8 o'clock until after 9 o'clock. "What night was that!'' asked attorney Foster. "May 4," was the reply. This was Beggs's alibi. It was not for the purpose of showing that Beggs was not at the Carlson cottage on that night, the State having some time ago admitted that ho was not there, but it was desired to prove that he was in good company. The witness added that he was not a member of any Irish body. John Dwyer, a member of Camp 41. and for three years junior guardian, declared that he had never heard of an inner circle. John S. Mullen, for thirteen years an inspector of customs, said that he joined the Lnited Brotherhood in 1873. He was a member of what was known as a Cronin catup. and attended a national convention as a delegate with Cronin sympathies. Ho was at present senior guardian of Camp 273, and had never heard of an inner circle. He thought he would know of such a circle if oue existed. He saidthat at the conven tion oi libs an attempt was made to keep the names of the executive body secret. State's Attorney Longenecker was asked to take the stand. He objected, but finally did so. Ho said he was preseut during tho examination of suspect Begins before the coroner's jury, and conducted the examination of witnesses before, the grand jurr. He said that during tho latter examination Bcgijs voluntarily told oi his correspond

ence with district officer Spellnian, and told where the letters could be found. Chief Hubbard then told of finding the letters in pursuance of Beggs's evidence, after which court adjourned. m a DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

Mrs. ram ell's Family Will Care for Iler. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 20. In answer to the question if the Irish National League of America was going to take any public steps to relieve tbt alleged straitened circumstances of Mrs. Parnell, President John Fitzgerald replied in the negative. Ho said: "I think any public movement in that direction would be indelicate and indecent, an insult to the Parnell family, and a slur upon the character of her distinguished son. the Irish leader. Some of those who were urging a public subscription for Mrs. Parnell wero men who, in their craving for notoriety, had no conception of honor or decency, but he hoped the innato delicacy of the Iri9h character would prevent the Irishmen of America from playing into the hands of thtse pretended patriots and philanthropists. Mrs. Parnell should not be made an object of public benevolence. Respect for the name should put a stop to so indecent a movement. Mrs. Paruell's family can and will care for her wants without uncalled for public interference." Contraband Whisky In Canada. Montreal, Nov. 20. It is now estimated that the government has been defrauded out of $250,000 by whisky-smugglers in the province of Quebec alone. 'Iho seizures thus far in the vicinity foot np 117 barrels of fifty gallons each, upon which the duty should be S2.G0 ner eallon. This would make $140,000 that tho smugglers would have pocketed, but there is no ascertaining how much they have already defrauded the revenue out of, to the injury of the legitimate iraue. At various places aiong tue river 200 barrels nave been seized. Ihe spirits so far captured are principally wintfi of greater strength than Canadian standard, and supposed to be of American make. The government has ordered the arrest of several persons connected with handling the contraband liquor. Western Association of Architects.

After a temporary organization of the consolidated bodies, by tho election of Mr. Hunt as temporary chairman and Mr. N. S. Patton as secretary, the members wero taken to visit tho suburbs.

Judge Foster, in the case of the Stevens county murders, has decided that the District Court for the eastern district of Texas has jurisdiction over No-man's-land, where the crimes for which they were indicted recently by tho grand jury at Paris. Tex., were committed. Awaiting a decision of appeal. Judge Foster held the prisoners each m $5,000. The IhtbUe Will Appreciate lu The public are indebted to the Royal Baking Powder Company not more for having perfected and prepared a leavening agent that is pure and wholesome beyond a question than for its exposures, so boldly made, of tbo numerous impure, adulterated and injurious articles that are sold under the name of baking powders, bread preparations, etc., throughout the country. In making these exposures the company has, of course, made itself the target for all sorts of counter attacks, but the animus of these attacks has been perfectly under stood by the general public, and by their virulence have served to more prominently call attention to the good work of the "Royal" Company. Ordinary adulterations, such as are found in coffee, spices, etc., although they are swindles in a commercial sense, are often tolerated because they do not particularly affect the health of the consumer, . But when an article like bakinir powder, that is relied upon for the healthful preparation of almost every meal, is so made as to carry highly injurious if not rankl3' poisonous elements into our daily food, it is the duty of the public authorities to takocogpizanco of it. In this fight for pure food made by tho Royal" company, it is to be noticed that the most trustworthy scientific authorities are emphatically unon its side. In all the contests of this company with the alum and other impure baking powders the result has proved that every statement made by the Royal Baking Powder Company, both as to the purity of its own and the adulteration of other baking powders of the market, was fully authorized by the most competent chemical and medical authorities of the country. , In this contest two facts have been pretty conclusively settled in the minds ot tho public tho hrst that the Royal company ban found the means, and uses them, to make a chemically puro article of food; and the other that the market is full of poisonous, alum and other adulterated baking powders wnich, no matter how strongly indorsed by "commercial" chemists, are to 1m studiously avoided. A pure baking powder is one of tho chief aids to the cook in preparing perfect and wholesomo food. Tho recent controversy in the press has left it no longer a questiou with those who desiro purity and wholosomeiiess of food what baking powder they shall use.

MARY ANDERSON'S START. How She Was Taken Up by Colonel South niayd and Others in Xew Orleans. Lonlamia (Ky.) Times. Colonel Fred R. Sonthmayd. of New Orleans, famous throughout the Mississippi valley in connection with every yellow -fever epidemic within the past quarter of a century, has been in Louisville for several days on business, his first visit to this city in twenty-seven years. Colonel Southmayd is one of the best known and most picturesque figures in the South. He is an old man now, but retains all the energy and activity of youth, both in mind and body. He walks erect with a soldierly bearing that is hi by right, for he lost his right arm in the confederate service; wears a gray beard, a slouch hat, and a great coat, and has a blutt and impetuous manner that shows the man of will. But beneath it all is a heart that beats for all humanity and an unselfishness that has been tried and not found wanting. Colonel Southmayd was manager of the Democrat newspaper in New Orleans when Mary Anderson made her first appearance there, unknown aud unnoticed. Ho was familiarly dubbed "The Pirate" in those days, and was nothing of a theater-goer. He was invei gled into seeing the unheralded actress by a youngster on the paper who had fallen in love with her, and to say that the Colonel was charmed with her beauty and genius is a weak statement of facts. He sought her out, and when ho learned that her father was a confederate soldier, and was killed at Stone River at the head of Breckinridge's division, his interest in the fair young girl knew . no bounds. She was playing to empty benches, but sho appeared unconscious of her surroundings, and acted with a fervor that was contagious. Colonel Southmayd induced a prominent physician of New Orleans, who was also a Scholarly and brilliant writer, to visit the theater and hear Mis Anderson. He did so under pro test, but remained to worship. He was "That is no girl; she is a woman, and a wonderful one at that!" "She is but a child." replied the Colonel, "and you shall see her." He saw her, and was fascinated, and the next day wrote an article for the Democrat that attracted wide-spread interest. Other writers took up the struggling artist, and she was soon playing to crowded and enthusiastic audiences. The Pickwick Club gave her a pnrse. She bought a fine wardrobe and went on a triumphant tour Fast. Miss Anderson never forgot theBiaucu menu, ox uer auversiiy. ana iur man v years they wero correspondents. Colonel Southmayd was the head and front of the Red Cross Society and the Howard Association in the South. In the various yellow-fever epidemics that swept the principal Southern cities during the past twenty-five years, he was the first oh the ground with his corps of trained nnrses and aids, and the noble work that was accomplished through his unselfish aud intelligent ministrations will never be known; it is simply incalculable. Last winter Col. Southmayd, with sixty trained nurses, went to Jacksonville in answer to a call for help. He encountered some opposition from Messrs. Porter and Mitchell, who represented the federal government and the city, respectively, and was called to Washington by Mi6S Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross Society. His nurses, however, remained and did noble service, but Colonel Southmayd declares that they have not yet been paid for the work they did. Those of the Red Cross were paid by Miss Barton. Abducted by a Divorced Wife. PlTTsnuno. Nov. 20. The twelve-vear-oldson of John M. Bruce, a wealthy gentleman who resides in the fashionable quarter of the east end, has been kidnaped, pre sumably by Mr. Bruce's wife, from whom ho was divorced eight years ago.

At the time of divorce xMrs. Brnce accepted $10,000. gave np her children and returned to the stage. A day or two ago, it is said, she came here and on Tuesday met the three children re turning from school.

Nell has turned over all her property to secure creditors of the First National Bank for the sum of over $40,000 for the notes sho signed for C. F. Pratt, the cashier who absconded with $150,000 of tho bank's funds. This property consists of a forty-acre tract in Minneapolis and another tract of the same size in St. Paul, the two worth probably $200,000. Of this large sum of money which Mrs. Nell is called upon to pay she has never received one dollar, it all going to Pratt, the absconding cashier, in whom she had the utmost confidence, having made a will leaving all her property to Pratt People fonder WHEN they find how rapidly health is restored by taking Ayer's SarEaparilla. The reason is that this preparation contains only the purest and most powerful alteratives and conies. To thousands yearly it proves a veritable elixir of life. Mrs. Jos. Lake, Brockway Centre, Mich., writes: "Liver complaint and Indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony. I was reduced almost to' a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food ' . distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving relief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I could see an Improvement in my condition, my appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength improved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine lias given me a new lease of life, and I cannot thank you too much." "We, the undersigned, citizens of Brockway Centre, Mich., hereby certify that the above statement, made by Mrs. Lake, is true in every particular and entitled to full credence." O. P. Chamberlain, G. W. Waring, C. A. Wells, Druggist. "My brother, in England, was, for a long time, unable to attend to his occu nation, by reason of sores on his foot. 1 sent him Ayer's Almanac and the testimonials it contained induced him to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using it a little while, h? was cured, and is now a well man, working in a sugar mill at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia." A. Attewell, Sharbot Lake, Ontario. arsaparilla, FRKPXUED BY Or. J. C.
