,, TIi© Closing Scenes of the Urwit Trial. ».«

Jousr, III., January 15.—[Special.]— Coughlin, O'Stillivan and Bourke, Cronin convicts, arrived here at 10:30 last night and were taken to A barber shop this morning where they were shaved and their heads cropped. Then they were given the usual bath and attired in striped suite. They were being measured this rooming according to the Bertillion system for identification. Bourke was pnt to work in the cooper shop, Coughlin as a stonecutter and O'Sallivan went to work in the shoe shop. z?

THE TRT0

SENTENCED.

Jndf» Xci'mntll P«««M Jtenleae# oa the Cronin Murderers. CHICAGO, January 15.™ [Special.]— Judge McConnell late veeterday afternoon passed sentence on the Cronin murderers. In his opinion the Court con

eluded regarding Kunase: "I believe the verdict of the jury not only unwarranted by the evidence, but was an absurdity. As to the other defendants overrule the motion for anew trial"

There was a moment's suspense, and then big Ian Coughlin rose and said in Arm, distinct tones: "Your Honor, I am innocent. I was convicted by perjurers. O'Sull! van's turn came next, and his voice trembled slightly as he said: "I have not much to say. I protest my innocence before Gou and man, and the time is not far distant when it will be shown 1 was convicted by a prejudiced jury and perjured evidence. I do not ask for mercy, I ask for justice. I have not had justice,"

Burke stopped chew-

ng enough to say: "I am in1 always knew that in England to go on the stand 1 never knew it

A moment's silence followed and then the court said: Will the prisoner* rise? The three men roue again and the court imposed the sentence in the following words: "Following and confirming the verdict of the jury, the judgment of the court is that you be taken to the

tentiary at Joliet, and there confine the term of your natural lives.' Mr, Forrest said in the operative part of the statute were the words "without delav" in the instructions to the sheriff i, to carry out the sentonw, but it had been the practice of all the judges in Coos county, except Anthony, to grant a stay when assured that ft case would be taken up. Mr. Forrest made quite an extended appeal, devoting himself to showing what an injustice would be done if the defendants should be compelled to «o to ths penitentiary, and afterwards given a new trial and acquitted.

Kunxe WBS then- admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000. The state's attorney opposed-the motion for bail, end subsequently contended for $20,000. Judge McConneil. however did not coincide, and explained that he woild have discharged Kunze if there was no new evidence against him but the states attorney had informed him there was some Judge liOngenecker intimated that if they let iui*0 my la jail a few days be Mtiight conclude not to bring him to trial all, but let him go.

Henry M. Stanley had a very interesting interview yesterday with the Khediye who conferred upon the explorer the Medjidich decoration. In his conversation Stanley said Emin Pasha desired extremely to serve the Egytian government and he believes some appointment might justly be given him. He suggested Emm be given some purely administrative position at Suakttn Wady Haifa or in some place where it was desirable to conciliate the natives. He believed Emin's service would le invaluable with a strongexecu tive in other hands. The Khedive prom ised to telegraph Emin. Stanley spoke with enthusiasm of his officers, Stanley considers he has proved the superiority of the Congo route.

First State R«t«epIon.

W AffHiiMiTON, January 14.—The first of the evening state receptions of President Harrison's administration was a brilliant affair. It was given in honor of the diplomatic corps, whose members attended more generally than at most state receptions, not excepting even those at which they are special guests of the evening. This fact is in part attributable to the presence of the delegates to the Pan-American Congress, many of whom had never witnessed an event of the kind in this country. Among those present were the members of the cabinet, nearly ail the justices of the Supreme Court, many senators and representatives and a large "number of other persons in official society, with the ladies of their families. The President was assisted in receiving the guests by Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Morton and all the ladies of the cabinet households except Mrs. Iroctor, who is not in the city, and Mrs. Blaine, who, it was explained, was absent on account of a recent death in the family and the illness of Walker Blaine, who has a severe attack of inlluenza, llaiikw »nrrend«r Mon*y. s.

WASHINGTON-, January 15.—[Special.] Secretary Windom's call for ten per cent, of the amount of public moneys held by National Banks express to-day so far only eighty banks out of 130 called upon have responded. The amount surrendered, however, is far in excess of the amount called for, as some of the banks gave up the entire amount held by them and a number of others surrendered all above the amount necessary for the transactions of current public business. The total amount of bonds purchased to date in liquidation of these deposits is ll ijjX). The future course of the department in this matter will be determined in a few days.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 15. 1890.

EATEN BY S!4ARKS.

The 1'earral of A eirotwat Tan at Hoaoinlc. Aeronaut Van Tasaol. who is known all ovi-r the Unitod States as a daring'ad venturer among de clonds, met a fearful death at Honolulu not long ago by falling into the water from his balloon, where he was eaten by sharks. The occasion of his last ascension was the King's birthday. There was a grand celebration, and the festivities were to conclude with a parachute leap. Shortly before three o'clock Van Tassel entered his balloon alone after all the necessary preparations had been made. The conditions were favorable for his landing on land, and when the balloon shot upward it was thought he would not land more than a half mile from the starting point The balloon ascended steadily to the height of one thousand feet, when it was caught by a breeze blowing seaward and carried over the water.

The aeronaut evidently saw he must inevitably fall into the water, and those who were watching him with glasses saw that he was hurriedly making preparations for a descent. Suddenly the parachute was lot loose, and the bag of gas shot up higher into the air. The parachute opened nicely, and the man gracefully descended into the water about two miles off share.

That was the last seen of him. The Steamer Zealandia, which brought the news, was at the time entering the harbor. Two boats were immediately lowered, and the men were soon at the spot where the man was last seen. They could find no trace of him. The parachute had sunk, owing to the weight of its iron, and three or four monster sharks were seen swimming near by. They followed the boats back to the steamer.

Though the search was continued afterward for several hours no trace was found. Van Tassel wan a daring swimmer, and under ordinary circumstances could not have drowned before the boats reached him. The hunt for his body has been continued every day since the accident, but without avail. The men who were in the boats say Van Tassel must have been seised by the sharks almost immediately after he struck the water, for not more than eight minutes elapsed from the time the boats were lowered until the spot was reached where the daring man died.

News of his death was not long in reaching shore, and immediately thousands who had seen him go up went to tho beach and wharves, and small boats without number were rowed eastward. The first diligent search was not ended until dark, and there is no hope whatever of recovering the body now.

Van Tassel was well known in San Francisco and throughout America. There are few large cities in the United States in which he has not made ascensions, and few understand tho business so well as he, as he had beeu up hundreds of times. He made many ascensions from Woodward's Garden, Central Park and the Ocean beach, and he successfully performed parachute jumps in this city at the beach a few months ago. On one occasion before the leap near ly cost him his life, the parachute not opening and descending with lightning rapidity for many hundred feet before spreading.

He was about forty years of age, and left a wife, but no children,—Cor. N. Sun.

LINCOLN'S ANCESTORS.

Fft'ot* learned from the Archives or Berks Comity, PaAmong the inmates of the county almshouse is John Lincoln, aged about seventy-five years. He is a descendant of the same family to which the dead President belonged. He has been here for several year8» and it is known that in his young days he was wealthy, having inherited a considerable, sum of money from the family. He was, however, a lover of fast horses and foxhunting and the sport was too much for him and he soon fell into evil ways. Going from bad to worse, he eventually became a hostler at a country hotel. Becoming old, he was quickly incapaci tated for work and was then sent to the poor-bouse Kesearches among the archives of Berks County show that the Lincoln family came from Massachu setts and settled in Oley township, this county, some time prior to 178$. They soon became prominent citizens in that and adjoining townships. The grandfather of President Lincoln went from here to Virginia and thence to Kentucky according to authentic records. They were among tho largest taxpayers century age. and the name# of Mordecal

John and Abraham are common ones on the records and tax levies. Abraham Lincoln, a grand uncle of the martyr president the records show, was a county commissioner in 1773. Ten years later he was elected to the Legislature and served four years. Subsequently he was a Justice of the peace and ex-ofBcto one of the justices of the quarter sessions court Many ancient document# can be found bearing his signature.— Reading (Pa-) Dispatch.

WM THE CITY'S FINANCES!

Probability thnt Several Proportion* for Loan* Will Soon be Frew-ntcd. The question of refunding the city's bonded indebtedness is one that is being pretty thoroughly discussed at the present time. It is a matter of no small significance, and should receive the most careful and intelligent consideration of our municipal financiers. N. W. Harris, the Chicago banker, who is here and who is connected with the Water Works Company, has intimated to the Finance Committee of the council that he is willing and intends at the next meeting of the council to offer the city better terms then the 44 per cent. 10-20 bonds which Day

Co., of Sew York, have proposed to accept. Besides this, a member of the committee on finance told a NEWS reporter that at the next meeting of the council he expected to be able to present some propositions which he thought would be favorably considered.

The majority of the shares of the stock or this company are owned by non-reaidents, and although Terre Hante men are elect•d to fill alt of the official positions they are only figureheads, the real authority being invested in the Chicago parties.

AMUSEMENTS.

JTo1tn«ozt In White Fae*.

Mr. Carroll Johnson appeared as Larry Dee in The Fairies' Well last evening to a fair sired audience. The play is of the usual order of Irish dramas, And has little of

with burnt cork that it is hard to picture him 88 belonging to the fresher variety of the broad brogue and insinuating blarney. He alwavs had an Irish dialect, even on the end in a minstrel show, and now it serves him in good stead. The loss of his beautiful mustache tola him of some dignitv, but adds much in the way of good looks. He is hardly a good comedian, and is nothing of an actor, but manages to sing and dance his way into the good graces of his audiences. His character of nis rollicking Irishman does not fit him well, and it is only Vhen he manages to work in some old minstrel business that he seems at home.

The company supporting Mr. Johnson (and we use the word supporting in its strictest sense, lor he needs Support, not yet being strong enough to standalone in his new line) is a fairly good one, though some of the dialects are painful,

Mr. John E. Ward's Andy Coogan was a creditable piece of work, particularly the scene at the Fairies' Wfeil in the thim act Mr. Charles Frew as Dan Carmody redeemed a mediocre performance by a really fine piece of acting in the second act Mr. Frew is one of the few actors now extant who could be relied upon to play Qailp well. Mr. Fremont's Mark Condin was a fair interpretation and would doubtless have been better had|Mr. Fremont been free from a bad cold which interfered with his enunciation. Mr. A. J, Muller as Tracy Far re 11 was very good indeed.

Miss Belle Stoddard as Eunice Be res ford looked and acted the part well. Miss Kate Foley as Mona Carmody was pleasing, particularly when she danced, and showed off to advantage a pretty foot and trim ankle. Miss King's Mary Ellen Brady was worthy of praise, and Little Zelia'as Nellie Carmody was excellent

Two or three fine sets of scenery set the plav off to advantage, tho scene at the Fairies' Well in the third act being perfect in its way.

POLITICAL FIGHT SETTLED. Wanted a Tax Colleetor to I»»ne ReeelptM to Republican*.

W111.MINGT0N, Del., January 15. [Special.]— The Superior Court of this state this morning refused to grant a mandamus against Tax Collector John Douglass to compel him to issue tax receipts iu bulk upon presentation of letters of attorney. This for a time settles the great political fight Senator Hig* gins, on behalf of Republicans, asked for a mandamus while a motion was requested by Senator Gray. The Republicans claimed the tax collector gave them no opportunity to pay their taxes and that hundreds of their voters were disfranchised. The decision of three judges, two of whom are Democrats while the ttprd is Republican, is unani tnous. Th« case will be taken to the court of errors and appealed.

Barry, Grand Secretory of the Brotherhood of United Labor, lectured here last night In the course of his re marks he charged Powderly with having stolen $22,000 from the order.
