IXT'EJ'W'^ OBI! 11'11. NUGGETS OF GOLD IMPORTANT' HAPPENINGS IN EVERY QUARTER OF THE GLOBE, The Latest Intelligence Received by Wire from Distant Lanas and at Home—The Cream of the News Gathered from All Quarters of the World. DR. CRONIN WAS MURDERED' His Naked Body Found in a Sewer CatchBasin. Dr. Cronin, the missing Irish leader of Chicago, was murdered. His body has been found in a catch-basin in Lake View, a northern suburb of Chicago. It has been fully identified by his friends and acquaintances. There are six deadly wounds on the head, including three skull fractures. The evidences of his murder are plain, evident, and unmistakable. The kv/ // ' DB. P. H. CRONIN. body when found was naked. Every shred of clothing that might lead to the identity o: the dead man had been removed. Through some oversight, or perhaps through the superstition of the murderers, an Agnus Dei. an emblem of Catholic devotion that hung around the neck of the man, was left untouched. The body was discovered at Fifty-ninth street and Evanston avenue, in Lake View, by three workmen who were cleaning sewers. The Superintendent had discovered, the day before that the water in the sewer was not flowing freely. An investigation was ordered, and the working force making the investigation came on the body. WELCOME TO MINISTER LINCOLN. The American Representative to England Arrives at Liverpool. Upon the arrival of the steamer City of Paris in the Mersey at Liverpool, a special tender decorated with flags put ont to the vess 1 for the pin pose of conveying Robert T. Lincoln, the new American minister, ashore. Among those in the tender who went to welcome Mr. Lincoln were Henry White, First Secretary of the American Legation at London; Mr. Russell, the American Consul at Liverpool, aud the members of the corporation of that city. The Mayor met Mr. Lincoln at the landing stage and welcomed him to the city. Mr. Lincoln spentno time in Liveipool, but proceeded immediately to London, where he was met by the members of tbe United States Legation and others. AROUND THE DIAMOND.

Philadelphia Has a Case Similar to That Being Investigated at Chicago. In compliance with a request from President Laughlin of the Board of Charities aud Correction George W. Symonds, the reporter who secured admission to ♦ the insane department of the Philadelphia Hospital (the county almshouse) and afterward wio e up tbe institution, has appeared 1 efore Magistrate Smith and made an affidavit charging Keepers Joseph Marshall, Joseph Devlin, and Joseph Williamson with assault and battery upon numerous patients of the institution. Warrants were at once issued for the arrest of tbe three keepers. Probable Loss of Two French Vessels. Two fishing vessels, the Ella and Quaitre Freres, which left France some time ago tor (he Newfoundland fisheries with 175 men on board, have been lost, and all hands have doubtless been drowned. No Extra Session in Wisconsin. Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, has decided that no extra session of the State Legislature would be necessary, and in consequence none will be called. Death for Highway Robbery. Minnie Moses, a negro woman convicted of highway robbery in Alabama, has been sentenced to be hanged on Jure 27. End of a No orions Divorce Case. The Carter divorce case at Chicago came to an end by the jury finding for husband, and pronouncing Mis. Carter guilty of infidelity. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. At the convent’on of the Patternmakers’ League of North America at Pittsburg, Pa., resolutions were adopted indorsing the eight-hour day, and piecework was abolished. In a wreck on the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charleston Railroad near Ormsby, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pa., eight workmen weie injured. John Weitz, John Fetter, and William Reardon were so seriously hurt that they may de. Fire that involved a loss of $200,003 and probably cost a man’s life broke out in the stable of the Trenton Horse Car Co. near the Pennsylvania Railroad station at Trenton, N. J. The building is a huge structure, partly brick and partly frame, and the framework portion burned like tinder. While the firemen were rescuinghorses peoplewerehorrified atthespectacle of a man rushing from the stables half naked and in a sheet of flame. It. was a car-driver who had gone to sleep in the second story and did i ot wake till ihe fire was well under way. He made several ineffectual effoits to escape from the pait of the stables not burned, but failed, and finally had to rush through the blaze. He' vas probably fatally burned. The report from Bostqu that John D.

Rockefeller has offered to endow the proposed Baptist university at Chicago to the amount of 600,000 has been confirmed at the office of that gentleman. It is reported among leaders of the Baptist denomination that he will increase his gift to something like $3,000,000 if necessary. It is said to be the desire of the combine to repurchase the university property, which was formerly held by the Chicago Baptists, and make it the site of the university. This fund must reach $1,000,000 before definite plans are agreed upon, but no difficulty is expected in raising the balance. In the Presbyterian General Assembly at New York, the Rev. Dr. Nichols, Chairman of the Committee on Home Missions, made a reoort recommending that $875,000 be appropriated this year for home missionary work. At Elizabeth. N. J., Amb"?se Van Tassel fell dead while funeral services were being conducted over the remains of his wife. _ WESTERN HAPPENINGS. The corner stone of the De LaSalle Institute at Chicago has been 1 lid by Archbishop Feehan, assisted by a large number of Catholic societies. A feature of the ceremony was the parade in which 15,000 men marched in line. Telegraphic reports from what is termed Middle California report an earthquake. At some points, especially in the San Joaquin Valley, the shocks were quite severe, in a few cases the tops cf chimneys being thrown down. The shock was sufficiently heavy in San Francisco to awaken nearly all slumbeiers.

The Tewksbury almshouse horrors were not more shocking than the revela- 3 lions that are being made in the insane 1 asylum investigation at Chicago. Two < ex-patients from the asylum told tbe | court of numberless beatings and kick- < ings, of patients driven to bed by blows, t insufficient food, sufferings fiom the ’ cold in winter and the heat in summer. ; One of the witnesses showed an arm that i had been broken by an attendant and an- 1 other revealed the death of a patient after 1 a terrible beating. < The friends of Dr. Cronin, who so 1 suddenly disappeared from Chicago under circuinstances that led many to ' believe he has been murdered, have offered a reward of $5,000 for any infor- ’ mation that may lead to the arrest and । conviction of any of the principals in or i accessories to or instigators of the al- ’ leged crime, and $2,000 for information j as to his whereabouts if he is alive. i Loris Eaffirt committed suicide at j St. Louis because Miss Victoria Leinge • refused to marry him. A dozen of the younger members of ; 1 the St. Louis Board of Trade have been j । suspended for blowing toy whistles dur- : 1 ing trading hours. A large number of : 1 the victims' friends threaten to start a 1 , -1 new exchange. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. < Seventeen-year locusts have made 1 their appearance in Middle Tennessee, and grave fears are entertained for the safety of vegetation. Seven negroes, near Richardsville, Culpeper County, Va., went to the resi- ( dence of a highly respectable and educated colored man and bound him hand and foot. They then assaulted his wife ( and his little 10-year-old daughter. They left the old man bound and his wife and child in a most pitiful ' condition. They threatened to burn the house and cut out the tongues of i their victims if they divulged the perpe- 1 trators of the crime. The helpless victims were soon found by a passing friend and the alarm was given. A posse of j ] whites and blacks started in pursuit and | , captured the villains near the scene of I < the assault. They were taken to the ; : County Jail, whore they were guarded by ■ ; a strong force. An attempt was made to take the prisoners from the jail and ; lynch them, but the guards frightened the party off. The wife is in a critical i condition and the little child will die. i - I THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Board of Visitors to the Military Academy at West Point has been ap- 1 pointed. It consists of the following: ' On the part of the Senate—Hon. C. K. Davis i of St. Paul, Minu., and Hon. J. W. Daniel of I Lynchburg, Va. On the part of the House— 1 Hon. S. M. Robertson of Baton Rouge, La., < Hon. S. S. Yonder of Limn, Ohio, and Hon. I George W. Sheets of Marion, Ind. By the t President—Prof. Leroy D, Brown of Reno, Nev., j Prof. C. M. Pinkeston of Perry. lowa, Rev. Dr. 1 B. W. Chidlaw of Cleves, Ohio, Rev. Arthur ’ Edwards of Chicago, Dr. Nathan S. Lincoln of 1 Washington, Capt. Charles King, U. S. A. (re- < tired), of Milwaukee, and Gen. Lew Wallace, of i Indiana. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. t < । Returns from all parts of the Nineteenth District of Illinois (Townsend’s), ; embracing a large propoition of the pre- ■ cincts, indicate tbe election of Judge J. R. Williams, Democrat, to Congress by a 1 majority of about 2,500. j =: 1 ACROSS THE OCEAN. । Captain E. L. Zalinski, inventor of , the dynamite gun, military attache to the 1 American legation at St. Petersburg, lias ■ sailed for his post of duty. ; Advices from Nihilist sources in Rus- ■ sia have been received of a more formid- ‘ able conspiracy than any yet discovered. Its ramifications are w idespread and the Russian secret service is following them up in all directions, and arrests have been made among all classes at St. Petersburg, Kronstadt and Moscow. The headquar- । ters of the conspiracy is St. Petersburg, I but all European Russia is involved. The latest reports from Ihe flooded dis- . tricts of Austria show that the loss of life [ is much greater than was supposed. In . many places the bursting of dykes has flooded the surrounding territory and utterly destroyed the crops. Many narrow escapes from death are reported. The deepest distress prevails throughout the submerged districts, and steps are being taken to relieve the immediate wants of the sufferers. Advices from Peru say that the Verugas viaduct on the Moya Railway, near Lima, was destroyed by a cloud-burst. An । immense column of water swept down the | mountain, taking huge bowlders with it, i carrying away a viaduct which cost SSOO,- I 000. In Peru’s penniless condition tbe ’ bridge cannot be rebuilt. Without the I viaduct the railway is useless. Besides ; this misfortune, Peru is attacked with ■ yellow fever. During a fog the steamer Beresford : collided with tbe steamer German Em- j peror off the Gcodwin sands in the En- : glish Channel. ’lhe shock of the col-' lision was tremendous and th® German Emperor sank almost instantly, and six ■ of her ciew were di owned. 'I he Beresford . managed to keep afloat, though somewhat i damaged, and succeeded in reaching j Gravesend. She brought twelve of the I German Emperor’s crew. FRESH AND NEWSY. General Clinton B. Fisk has written a letter denying his intention of return- ■ ing to the Republican part •, and saying that the statements regardinghis desertion I of the Prohibitionists are false. R. L. Walker, who has been appointed Marshal of Kansas, succeeds Jones, of ’

Oklahoma fame. The Attorney General says that Jones’ explanation of his Oklahoma relations was not satisfactory. The jute bagging trust has declined to enter into a contract with the Farmers’ Alliance not to raise the price of bagging, and only cotton bagging will be used. For the first three months of 1889 the comparative decrease in the net earnings of the Union Pacific system was $614,722.

It is currently rumored in New York that Mrs. Langtry has decided to leave the stage and once more retire to private life. She is said to be tired of being talked about in newspapers and scandalized by unscrupulous rivals who imagine that the only w ay to win the esteem of the critical public is by pulling some one else down to their level. News has reached Winnipeg, Manitoba, of a ferocious fight near Fort McLeod between a band of Blood Indians on one side and a force composed of soldiers, cowboys and Gios Ventres oa the other. Tbe Bloods had lately been stealing horses from the Gios Ventres, and the latter, assisted by soldiers and cowboys, made an effort to recover their property. Quite a large number wei e slain. Most of the bodies weie carried away by friends of the fallen, but three or four were discovered on the field, minus scalps. The Bloods appear to have gotten Ibe worst of the encounter. They got away with most of the stolen horses, and are now being closely pursued by mounted police. Another battle is likely to take place when the police come upon them, and serious trouble is feaied. It is alleged that American Indians in Montana are going to the Bloods’ assistance.

United States Consul General Hannah reports to me State Department that the recent decree by the President of the Argentine Republic, forbidding gambling in specie, has caused gieat excitement. The Government remains firm and the gamblers threaten vengeance. The police are armed with rifles and guard the Bolsa. The Minister of Finance intends to raise a reserve fund of fosty millions and to substitute for fractional paper money gold, silver and copper coin, and eventually reach specie' payments. R. G. Dun A Co.’s we.kly review' of trade says: Business reports are lutherjless encouraging, in spite of the mast satisfactory crop prospects at the West and the <ueourageinent thereby given to all branches of trade. At Omaha great improvement in crop pi (.speeds and activit y in building are reported, with money plentiful at. lower rates. At St. Paul there is no change in the favorable prospect. But at Kansas City trade and coUections are only fairly satisfactory; at Milwaukee collections are not improved; at. Detroit trade and collections are “about fair" and money easy with moderate demand; and at Cleveland, trade, is u little huger than at. this time last year and money in active demand. Kains in the Northwest and continued improvement in crop prospects have been more potent in the grain market than the increase in exports, and tbe price has fallen. The movement in groceries se ms to be much la ger than a year ago. Wool is <i ii. The expoits of principal products for A mi' show an increase of 21 per cent. o\er lasi y. e For two weeks of May the export ^‘roni Nev, : have been $412,090, or nearly 4 per com. toss than last year. The business failm. s ncmoer 252, as compared with a total of 227 i he week previous, aud 189 for the corresponding week of last. year. THE CHOSEN FEW.

He was preparing to leave the island and bad sold his property, receiving for it s'.oo in gold. Shortly before his intended departure a neighbor called to bid him farewell. He knocked at the door, and receiving 10 answer entered the house, the door being un ocked. Finding no one in the hall or parlor l.e called again. There was no response.

At New York, the other day, the total number of steera o passengers landed from nine steamers airiving from foreign ports footed up 5,562, the largest number of immigrants landed at that port in one Say in many years.

“EDITOR’S BACK STAIRS.” Tlio Interesting Views of tiie Late Dr. J. G. Holland. The columns of the newspapers appear to be flooded with proprietary medicine advertisements. As wo cast our eye over them, it brings lo mind an article that was published by the late Dr. Holland in Ncribner's Monthly. Ho says: ‘Nevertheless, it is a fact that many of the I est proprietary medicines of the day were more successful than many physicians, aud most of them, it should be remembered, were at first discovered or used in actual medical practice. When, however, any shrewd person, knowing their virtue, and foreseeing their popularity, secures and advertises them, then, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them.” Is not this absurd? This gieart man appreciated the real merits of popular remedies, and the absurdity of those that derided them because public attention was called to the article and the evidence of their cures. If the most noted physician should announce that ho had made a study of any certain organ or disease of the bo ly. or make his sign larger than the code size, though he may have practiced medicine and been a leader in all medical counsels, notwithstanding all this, if he should presume t > advertise ana decline to give his discovery’ to the pul lie. he would be pronounced a quack and a humbug, although he may have spent his entire life and all his available funds iu perfecting his investigations. Again we say, "absurd.” It an ulcer is found upon one’s arm, and is cured by some dear old grandmother, outside of the code, it will be pronounced by the medical profession an ulcer of little importance. But if treated under the code, causing sleeploss nights for a month, with the scientille treatment, viz., plasters, washes, dosing with morphine, arsenic and other viki substances, given to prevent blood poisoning or deaden pain, and yet tiie ulcer becomes malignant, and amputation is made necessary at last, to save life, vet all done according to the “isms” of the medical code, t lis is much more gratifying to the medical profession, and adds more dignity to that distinguished order than to be eu ed by the dear old grandmother’s remedy. This appears like r. severe arraignment, yet we believe that it expresses the tiuo standing of tiie medical profession in regard to remedies discovered outside of their special “isms.” One of the most perplexing tilings of the day is the popularity of certain remedies, especially Warner's Safe Cure, which we find for sale everywhere. The physician of tiie highest standing is ready to concede its merits and sustain the theories tiie prop ietors have made—that is, that it benellts in most of the ailments of the human system because it assists in putting the kidneys in proper condition, thereby aiding in throwing off tiie impurities of the blood, while others with Fss honest y and experience deride, and are willing to see their patient die scientifically, and according to the code, rather than have him cured by this great remedy. Yet we notice that the popularity of the medicine continues to grow year by year. The discoverer comes boldly before the people with its merits, and proclaims tiiem Hom door to door in our opinion much more honorably than the physician who, perchance, may secure a patient from some catastrophe, and is permitted to set a bone of an arm or a linger, which lie does with groat dignity, yet very soon alter takes the liberty to climb the editor's back stairs at 2 o’clock in tiie morning to have it announced in tiie morning paper that "Dr. So-and-so was in attemlanco." tints securing for his benefit a beautiful and iree advertisement. Wo shall leave it to our read r.s to say which is the wiser and more honorable. Almost Given Away. A doctor happened io be telling his family of an amusing scene he had witnessed at a patient’s house during 1 he day. “Mr. Brown,” said the doctor, “was not seriously ill, but his wife really made matters worse and herself supremely ridiculous by rushing in aud ouJ like a wet hen.” The doctor's son. Bob, a very bright boy of 6, was present when his father said this, and treasured his words. A day or two afterward Airs. Brown called upon the doctor’s family, ami when Bob came into the loom he sat down on a stool and fixed his eyes on the visitor. By and by he asked, very seriously: ‘‘Mrs. Brown, do you know anything about a wet hen?” Os course she replied in the negative, and Bob’s face assumed a very puzzled expression. After a brief pause—horrible to his sisters—Bob said: “Well, it seems to me you ought to.’’ — Pittsburgh, Dispatcii. A Sea Bitk I’as*cnger» On the ocean, cares little about a storm. He is positively indifferent whether he is washed overboard or not. But, set right by a w inc-glassful or two of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, he feels renewed interest in his personal safety. This fine corrective neutralizes in brackish water—often compulsorily drank on shipboard, to the grievous detriment of health—the pernicious impurities which give rise to disorders of the stcmach, liver, and bowels. To the mariner, the tourist, the Western pioneer and miner, the Bitters is invaluable as a means of protection against malaria, when its seeds are latent in air and water. To the effect of overwork, mental or manual, it is a most reliable antidote, and to the debilitated and nervous, it affords great and speedily felt relief and vigor. Why. It is a pity that some people are not so quick with tlieir hands as they are with their tongues. A farmer once had a very lazy helper. One day lie returned from market, and caught his man sound asleep under a tree. “What!” exclaimed the farmer, “asleep when you should be at work ? You are an idle wretch, and not worthy that the sun should shine upon you!” “I know it; I know it, said the man, sitting up and yawning, “and that’s the reason I lav down here in the shade!”

Rats in a New Light* T have seen and handled a pair of tame rats belonging to some young friends, and prettier, more playful, and more intelligent pets could not be imagined. They were accustomed to run about on the table at meal times. They never stole food; but when anything was offered them they sat up on their hind legs, held the morsels between the fore paws, and ate daintily. They are fond of a game which I saw them ] lay. The rats were put into the boy’s cap, which was hung on the hatstand in the hall. The boy ami his sister then went to the top of the house and whistled. At the sound of the whistle the rats jumped out of the cap, scrambled to the floor, and then ran up the stairs and perched on their owners’ shoulders. The general idea of the rat is that it is an ill-savored animal, dirty in its perron and revoltingin its diet, whereas it is delicately clean in person and equally dainty in its food. It is ever washing itself and never eats without washing afterward.— Pall Mall Gazette. NOTHING LIKE IT. Groat Rejoicing in tiie Conover Family— Crutches Laid Aside Aller Twenty Years' Use. I have been afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. For the last ten years have been obliged to use crutches. Often my left hip and knee would entirely give out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for that terrible disease; have used tnc most powerful liniments onniy hip and knee to soothe the pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lost nearly all strength by the use of liniments, ai&l I could get no help. I saw an advertisement of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, ordered half a dozen bottles, look them and received some relief, then ordered a dozen. Have taken seven of the last dozen, and I am happy in saving that I know lam being cured. Have not used any liniment since I commenced taking your svrup. When I began taking your syrup I could not take a step without the use of a cano. neither could I turn myself in bed without aid; can now turn in bed without any trouble, can walk about my house and office without the use of my cane, often losing track of it. for the reason when I tako a long walk I take it along. My office is four blocks from my house; I have not walked to or from it for over a year until last '1 hurs<lay. a week. Since that time I have walked to and from it every day, except Sunday. I am truly rejoicing that I am fast being relieved from such a terrible affliction. Aery truly, S. S. Conover. Agent of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., Manistee, Mich.
