Cincinnati, June 25.—A morning paper proposes the theory that William Kendall, of Newport, Ky., whose dead body was found in the Ohio river a week ago, waa killed in a manner aimilar to that by which Dr. Cronin met his fate, only that Kendall was mistaken foe the real victim, Mr. M. J. Green, an artist. Mr. Kendall, when last seen alive by friends, left his brother's house in this city, and, said he was going to his home in Newport. This was at night. The theory is that, as he resembles Green, he was followed and murdered, and him dead body thrown into the Ohio river. A story was recently printed in Chicago of Green's experiences, which shows that be was a marked man and that be was followed from place to place. He wa& one of fiftv who sailed in 1867 from New York in the brigantine Jaokmel in the interest of the Fenians. Subsequently he has been suspected of being a spy and baa been kept out of all secret societies. He tells of a dead man being fonnu one morning in Central Park, New York about the place where be bad found meu following him the previous night and the dead man's description closely resembled Green. When he left Chicago to come here less than a mon th ago he gave out that he was going to Cleveland. The next day a dead man was found in Cleveland closely resembling Mr. Green. He had been shot and thrown in a pond of water and the revolver left near to indicate suicide. Mr. Green trias to keep his habitation unknown.

The Allen Contract Labor Law. Washington, June 25.—The Treasury Department is informed that a Canadian carpenter named William H. Crawford, having been deported to Canada on the ground that his presence in this country was in violation of the alien contract labor law, returned to Michigan the same after.noon and filed him declaration of intention to beooma a citizen of the United States, with a view of removing his disabilities, and is supposed to be at work for Maloom Blue at Bay Mills, Mich., undsr the original contract In acting in this case Assistant Secretory Nettieton held that in this case Crawford’s statns is not changed because of tha declaration to become a citixan, which step he regarded as a finesse to evade the law. Immigrant Inspector Schell is therefore instructed to notify Crawford that be is in this cooatry anlawfully and moat return to Canada. ^^ : ^ It EnOed In a Free Fig at.

New Yobk, June 25.—It ia not generally known tbat Jay Gould had a very narrow ascape from being ground to pieces by e Hudson railroad train a few days ago at Irvington-on-the-Hudson. Mr. Gonld has kept his own counsel about the matter, but the facta ware given to a reporter yesterday by an eye-witness of th* scene. Mr. Gonld boards a New York local train every morning at tha Irvington station, to which he is always driven from his country place two miles away. The other morning, as he and a few others stepped across the tracks at the station to take the 8:16 train for this eity, a west-bound express hove in sight, coming at a high rate of speed, for it was a few moments behind time. Its track was the one between the station and the local train, and standing on it all oblivious to danger were Mr. Gould and his fellow travelers. A station hand saw the express and gaye a sharp yell of danger at which all save Mr. Gonld turned quickly and leaped back to the station platform. Mr. Gould’s thoughts were apparently miles away, for his head was bent and he was perfectly heedless of his P*ril. The other passengers were so horrified at the situation, which developed in leas than five seconds, that they seemed powerless to make a move. Then baggagemaster Barnard poshed through them, jumped to the track, and grabbing the railroad king by the collar, jerked him back upon the platform, and before the absent-minded capitalist knew what it all meant the express had thundered by. By the time most of the spectators had regained their equanimity the rescued man was on his train for the city as cool as if nothing had happened. XX-SKCRBTAltY BAYA1»D»S WORDS His Remarks to the Alumni of the University of Michigan. Ann Akboe, Mich., June 25.—Alumni day at the university brought hundreds of old graduates back. Ex-Secretary of State Bayard delivered the annual address to the alumni and students of the law department The subject of his discourse was “The Condition of Our Body Politic and the Dangers and Evils Which Abound and Threaten Its Welfare.” Ha called the attention of him audience to the wrongs the spoils system worked, and said, referring to appointees to public office under the system: “These men hold that the pnblio offices whieffi, as-the name implies, are apportionments of pnblic funotiont and duties for the'pubhc advantage, are created in order to furnish means of support and personal emolument to the individuals who are placed in them, thus losing sight altogether of the mutual relation of a government and its agents; indeed, subverting that relation and making that the servant of its own employes and agents, and this theory logically and practically carried to its conclusion involves nothing less than the revolution aud defeat of our republican system. In fact, it reproduces the rule of the pretorian guard of ancient Rome.” Continuing be pointed out,the results of the perversion of the public power of taxation, by aiming to reach with tha selfish "advantage of private individuals. Concerning the judiciary he said: “If w* cannot find a frame ot words for such an expression in our written law jt must pass into unwritten law that public power shall not be so prosecuted for private gain. Justice will never be established by mere appointment of judges and formation of courts, but by the maintenance of these courtson the administration of impartial laws. Laws framed under personal and selfish influences and for personal aggrandizement ean never be agencies of justice, and if we go back into the region of cm uses for the swift decay of governments, if we seek the causa causus of the short life of power, one will discover it to exist in unequal laws and. in equality be-

fore the law.

The total number of degrees to be conferred by the university is 620. ANOTHER CRONIN CASE. - - The Unnsunl Death of William Kendall, of Newport, Ky.

It may be written also that in the year 1891 the best cherry crop ever known in Indiana was prodneed. Cherry trees this month are red, not green. Professor Bell has a tree which is so fruitful that even the boya have ceased to try to strip it C. C. Koerner, on a twelve-inch bough of a four-year-old tree, counted ninety-six cherries.

was loss to the growers.

One grower, southeast of the city, brought fourteen gallons of berries to the commission houses one morning not long ago and did not realize a single cent from them. It was common for growers to receive only three or four cents profit on a case of berries, a case containing six gallons. The result has been that many strawberry patches are to be plowed up and set in other crops, and there will in all probability be a scarcity next season. An unexpected difficulty has arisen in the harvesting of the great pea crop. According to the arrangement with a big packing house, the pea-growers were to cut their peas, vines and all, with a kind of mower made especially for the purpose. The whole mass of vines with the pods on them was thqn to be threshed, and the farmers were to receive 30 cents per bushel for the hulled or threshed peas. When the peas were ready to cut there was a great demand for the mowers, but a trial showed the machines to be an utter failure. Then there was a hurrying and skurrying about, but no other machine or implement could be found that would ent the tough and tangled vines. The only thing to be done was to pull up the vines by the roots and in that laborious and slow way the big pea crop is being harvested. Some farmers have from fifty to one hundred acres of the peas and they are having a world of trouble securing enough men, women and children to get their crops pulled before the peas become too ripe. Wages have rgacbed a high figure and the profits from the crop are likely to ba a dis-

appointment in consequence.

Room for Twenty Tracks for Peoeontrer Yr«me—Engineering Plans. New York, June 25.— The proposed nnion depot of th* New York and New • Jersey Bridge Company will be a mammoth structure. It will extend over 400 feet along Broadway, between Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth streets, and be 1,800 feat long, extending to Eighth svean*. There will be room for twenty tracks for passenger traffic, and if all the New Jersey railroads use the new depot U k estimated that a passenger train will arrive and depart every two minutes ia each tweaty-four hours. There are seventy-five passenger trains daily out of Jersey City, and at least 8,000 passengers cross the North river to

take trains.

Secretary Swan, of the bridge company, states that the depot* will be of stone and steel and that the upper floors will be used as railroad offices. The construction of the depot, he said, will not necessitate the closing of Seventh avenue nor Thirty-eighth street The bridge will be 150 feet above high-water mark, but the viaduct running therefrom will be only 65 feet above highwater mark at the depot, and the tracks at the depot will be only 12 feet above the

level of Broadway.

There will be aa arch or other passageway through the building for Thirty-eighth j street, while the station will ba of sufficient j bight to offer no obstruction in that tfior- 1 ougkfare. In the basement will be tracks 1 for mail and express cars, where wagons can be loaded and unloaded. The basement will be reached by tracke gently declining for a considerable distance on the viaduct Much remains to be done, such as tbe purchasing of the ground and condemnation ol the necessary property before the work can be commenced on the depot, but Mr. Swan says that within three months work will begin. The New York approach to tlie bridge is to be between Seventieth and Seventy-first streets, and trains will come down over a viaduct between Eleventh and Twelfth avenues through the

center of the blocks.

“The $300,000 required bv the New York act,” said Mr. Swan, “has ail been paid into the treasury of the New York company. On July 23 the $1,000,000 required under the charter will have been paid into the New Jersey company. We will then con-

solidate the two companies.”

The New York company is capitalized at $10,000,000 and tpe New Jersey company at $5,000,000. The cost of the bridge, according to Mr. Swan, will not exceed $12,000,000, while the approaches and the depot will use up the remaining $3,000,000

of the capital stock.

Tbe viadnets are not to be of solid masonry, bat of steel and stone. Stone will probably be used for flooring the

tracks.

Mr. Depew Will »ot Go to Prison. New York, June 25.—The trial of the New Haven railroad directors for misdemeanor in heating their oars with stoves instead of steam, resulted in the discharge of the defendants. Judge Van Brunt said he was of the opinion that no man can be made to commit crime vicariously. Tha directors of the railroad were co-servants and agents with tbe car-builders and others, and the New York A New Haven railroad alone was responsible. In conclusion, the judge said: “I think, from the evidence, that Mr. Reed is, in a measure, responsible. As to the other directors, there seems to be nothing to hold them. As to the president, there is some ground for belief tbat he had active participation. I therefore advise tha jury to acquit all the defendants.”

A Peaceful t-oeoe as tbe Grave.

Th* final scene of the funeral of Mr. McDonald at Crown Hill yesterday afteraoon’ was one of profoundly restful beauty. The McDonald monument is at the foot of tha grassy slop* of the great hill of the cemetery. Two heaps of evergreen were beside the open grave and the floral tributes stood near by. Tha evening sunlight diffused peacefulness. It shone duftilv through tho trees on the slope to the weet and touched the lawn with golden biota. A circle of varied faces stood about the grave and people were scattered in little groups on the hill-side. The number of people was not great, and this fact contributed to tha restful effect. The spectatore grew perfectly silent when the casket was niaeed above the grave. Rev. M. L. Haines read from the Bible. Rev. J. A. Milbnrn delivered a prayer. Then their voices united ia th* Lord’s prayer and the benediction was pro-

nounced.

Stories of McDonald.

Members of the family of Senator Mo* Donald cherish many memories of his nobleness of character. In recalling them to-day his friends related many aneodotea illustrative of this. All agreed tbat Senator McDonald waa slow to take offense; even to see that offense was intended,when to other* it was eiear. His trust in those about him was never shaken, although it was at timaa taken advantage of by dishonorable persona. An incident showing thia was related by a member of the fattfiy this morning. A certain man who had received assistance from Senator McDonald several times bad repaid the kindnesses by dishonorable acta meant to injure the Senator. Nat long ago, needing help again, be hod the effrontery to ask it of Mr. MoDonald. Tha Senator consented to give it with a generous forgetfulness, and putting on his hat started down-town to do what was desired of him

in the other man’s interest.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were yon,” suggested Mrs. McDonald. “Don't you remember bow tbat man has treated joat He will tikely taka advantage of y*«

again.”

“Josephine,” her husband replied, “I would rather have him impose upon me tan times than to lose my faith In human naAt another time, quite recently, a man who had business or political relations with Senator McDonald was urging soma partioular line of action upon hun. “I teU you, Senator,” he said, “wa awtaf. do this thing.” “My frisud,” answered McDonald, kindly but with firmness, “we will do exactly wbai ia right, evao if we go under." 18 PARNELL MARRIEDV
