A special to the A mtrica n- from Bransford, Tenn., ays: Some very sensational developments have come to light in regard to Hiram Crabtree. one of the injured passengers in the wreck on the Chesapeake fc Nanhville railroad near this place last Wednesday. Hiram Crabtree lives with his wife and three children near Lafayette, Tenn. Hiram's lite has been somewhat wayward for th last three years. One Mrs. Claiborne retided near Hiram's abode with her three children, of doubtful parentage. Mrs. Claiborne was married several years ago to John Claiborne, who left her shortly after their marriage. Mrs. Claiborne succeeded several months ago in winninsr Hiram's a'Jections, since when Hiram has spent much of his valuable time and money in the woman's company. A lew days au'O Hiram converted a ybke of oxen, a cow and the hogs he possessed into rafh and lett home ostensibly to jro to Gibbs rr-s-roat!s. in Macon county, within some ten miles of his home. His pood old wife vigorously protested acainst the sale of the stock and hie excursion to the cross-roads, but Hiram went nevertheless, but not to Cibbs' crossroads, but to Mr. Claiborne's, near West Moreland, on the Chesapeake fc Nashville railroad, where he rnad arrangements to convey her and her four children to Hopkinsville. Hiram procured tickets for himsilf and Mrs. Claiborne and her children, and boarded the train at West Moreland on "Wednesday last, with bright anticipation of a tlorious excursion before him. Hiram was also provided with a o,uart of whisky to add to the pleasures of the trip. But alas, Hiram's pleasure trip was suddenly brought to a close iB the wreck of the iil-fated train. Hiram's injuries are slight, though he in bnif-ed np considerably, and will soon be able o travel. His paramunr'a injuries are slight to herself and children, She was carried to Trousdale county by her father, who had abandoned her several years ago. Hiram's good old wife well.-ed twenty-five miles to the scene of the wrrk. where she is watching over her wayward husband with the tenderest care. He has been visaed by a minister since his shake-up in the wreck. Las promised to Tetrace his steps in life and steer clear of the paths of the sinful and wicked. Hiram says this is his last excursion. JUDGE LYNCH IN KENTUCKY. One of the Murderers of Peddler T.sivlne Taken From Jail 1y a Mot. LonsviLLE, Ky., June 2"5.

THE OPERATORS STUBBORN.
THEY WILL MAKE NO CONCESSIONS. The Operators Still Positively Refuse to Submit to Arbitration XThy Wn the Meeting- Held In Secret Faint Hopes of a Settlement. Bbazil, June 25. Special. The memben of the stat board of charities arrived at the scene of the strike this morning and have been liitening to the itatementi of the operators and miners a good portion of the day. They bad hoped to get through in time to return to Indianapolis on the last afternoon train, but it is now doubtful if they complete their work by to-morrow noon. One or two members of the board have displayed considerable impatience at this fact, but the others appear anxious to make a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the situation, in order, if possible, to bring about an end to the present distressing dilemma. Upon the streets the meeting of the board is the general subject of conversation, and the universal desire, if not expectation, is that the conference will accomplish the desired object of endiug the strike. There does not appear to be much change in the general situation since I left here a week ago. The merchants are feverish with impatience at the prolongation of the lock-on t and the interference with their business; the miners bave been receiving some subftantial assistance in the last ten days and are little worse off than they were a week ago, but all of them with whom I have conversed are anxious for a settlement and wish as earnestly as do the merchants that the differences may be adjusted before the board returns to Indianapolis. The operators alone seemed indisposed to regard the present situation as of any unusual importance, and, to judge from the talk of those ot them who talk at all, there can be but one outcome of the conference that is, a concession to their demands. A member who were speaking for the operators told me as soon as I stepped oil' the train that the operators would not mitlie the concession of even a cent, but I have, on the other hand, been given to understand that Bresident Lawrence last night tol l Secy. Johnson that the operators would do whatever the board should recommend in the matter. Secy. Johnson of the board of charities clipped away from Indianapolis yesterday and came down here to quietly investigate, in order to find out a few farts from his own personal observation that he might lay before the board. He kept his identity unknown, in order that he mik,ht not be hampered in his work, and very few of the miners knew of his presence here. "I see," said he, "that the situation here has been very well described in the papers. I am satisfied that the accounts given in The Sentinel, -Ww and '"i were facts, so far as that part of the question is concerned. My particular object, however, in coming here in advauce of the others was not so much to inquire into the destitution as to investigate the local aid given to the strikers. The governor wanted to know what had been done officially in this county before he issued any call for aid from the state at large. I find that there has been no official call for help in this county, and that there has not been a great deal ot private solicitation in this city. Of coarse, however, the citizens of this county have suffered personally from the strike that is, in a financial way and they could not be cirectedtodo a great deal. I find the sentiment here in behalf of the. operators much stronger than I anticipated, but I presume if I should go out anions: the mining towns, like Knightsville, Harmony, ttc. I would find the feeling the other way." Mr. Johnson is right about that. If a person wants to jet at the merits of the present strike, he should not question the citizens of the little city in the heart of the coal reirion any more than he should the miners themselves. It is not that they are not as reliable and as jenerons as the inhabitants of any other community, but their persoual interests are too muc h involved iD the üiüiculty to prevent them giving an unprejudiced view ot the situation. Many who felievc that the reduction of the miners' wages was unjust, and who would like to see th( in gain their point if possible, think that t lie operators are masters of the situation, and that for tiie miners to remaia out is only to prolong the present lethargy iu business and distress among the strikers. They, therefore, are inclined to criticise th intervention of "outsiders." whose sympathy with the cause of the strikers induces them to express their sentiments concerning the situation, and to encourage the ttrikers. The remainder of the board, with the exception of Mr. Nicholson and Mrs. Fairbanks, arrived here by the mornine trnin. They r.rc the Bev. Mr. McCul'oeh, Judge 13. B. Martindale. the lion. John IL Elder and Mrs. W. A. Beeile. They were also acompanied by Mis.s Taylor, a stenographer, who is takin? full reports of the meetings. The party was met at the depot by M r. Johnson, who conducted them to the hotel. There a hhort conference ta held, Mr. Johnson explaining what he had found out during hi stay here. The board has remained rather uncommunicative, thinking it best not t trxlk about the matter until it had come to some conclusion on the mbject. Reporters were barred Irora the meetings with the oper itors f.r.d miners, which were held in the Y. M. (1. A. hall. The board first listened to the onerators and then called iu the miners. Atter thus getting both sides of the story they called the two together, and by a joint conference sonrrht to bring about a corupromi-e. The, operators were repreeuted bv K. V. Lawrence, of Chicago, piesident of the Brazil block coal company; Col. Zimmerman and 11. A. Niblack, of the same company; Thomas Wat son, proprietor of the Oartsherrie mines; Ja'kson Watson, M. A.Johnson, E. I Winklep.'eek, Win. Zeller, Wm. liushcr, (representative of the Craw fords , Henry Perry, superintendent of the block comoany mines, and others. Their conference with the board lasted from 10 o'clock until after 12. They went very fully into the statement of tbeir side of the case, attempting to show why the advent of natural gas and oil, along with unusual competition from mines in Ohio and Illinois, had made a reduction of miners' wnges necessary. They produced books to substantiate some of the things they said. Their evidence apparently produced conflicting opinions among the members of the board. Secy. Johnson was evidently very much impressed by the. statement of the case, and at dinner (before the miners' side had been heard ) he expreesed himself of the opinion that the reduction of wages was justifiable. The Rev. Mr. McCuIloch, however, was evidently not so impressed, although he whs not disposed to talk of the matter until the conference was over. Mr. Johnson, among other things, said that the Treat trouble with the miners in this section had been, not poor wages but poor work. "They would make more," id he, '"at 75 cents per ton than at ?1, beeaue at the latter price the district would always be overcrowded with workmen." The idea that it might be the duty of the operators to meet this difficulty by employing onlj a certain number of men, and giving them, so far as posible, steady work, was not approved by Mr. Johnson, who said it was natural for the operators, whenever they had their mines in operation to employ ail thut they had accommodations for. CAU3E OF THE STRIKE. A Candid Statement 1y n Man Who ts Well Informed. The Cincinnati Commrrcinl Omtte, like the Indianapolis Jonrnnl, has been printing a good deal of matter evidently intended "for no other purpose than to influence a charitably dispose 1 public to close their 'bowels of compassiou' against the Indiana miners, and thus reduce them to starvation in its most abject form and drive the men to work." Mr. Robert Watchron, "in behalf of the miners." writes the C'owmrtud Gazette from Columbus, (., as follows: Your rorrsKndent would mske it apnear that this reduction is neces-ary, owing to the extraordinary uO'Wbi.Idinj: of the ICDrlTiiia aod Ohio cosl ofera?ors. I lie before me the statistics compiled hy Mr. HLsbort' o( the black IManond of i'hicago, from whii h I will make the following Quotation: The total dwn i in the consumption of bituminous coal at Chicago, from Jan. 1, 1"9, to April 27, lss. wSöO,000 tons. f thia amonnt .'U.iXfi tons is known as eastern bituminous coal, such as Pittthiirj, llfKkitii Valley. I.tU; Brier Hill, Wost Virginia and Jai kson; aDI of tliN amount i:vt,0oo toes is western bituminous coal, from ludiana and Illinois. Of eastern bituminous coal, tb proportion of loss in the flocking Valley in the time Indicated was 120.000 tons; Pituburg't lo 73.imO toos, or a total lost from thessdUtrirts of 193 000 tons out of a total of 212.000 tons of eastern bitaninous. Of the 1JS, ooo tons of western coal, I tnd that the Indiana block lost bat 28.J tons, and that 110,000 was lost by ths mines la the Ute of JiUaols. Taa decrwn
of 50,fO0 tons in the shipment of all bituminous coal can he ei!y aecounuö for by the mild winter, which has heen very unfavorable to the coal business. But it i a remarkable statement that when Indiana bad lost lint per cent, aud Illinois bad lost 81 iercent., Hoekin Vail y aud Pittst-ur 55 r"r cent., and miscellaneous eastern 6 per cent., that the losi in Indiar.a toiime shoald be a rihed to the extraordinary underbidding of ritt.'burz, Ohio and otter coal üelds. Kurther, your correspondent mould be the public believe that the bloct coal mioers should work for the same, or nenrly the same as the bituminous mlucrs. This is ao evidence that the (tentlcman is in no immediate danaer of baring to dig coal for a living. No saoe man would even intimate that a miner should work a three-foot vein of toal at the iiip fiiture as is paid for a fire-foot rein. The author of tu article referred to makes it rerr pliio tba in his opinion, the min-rs are at fault and should not receive public sympathy, much less more desirable substantial support. He forgets to say that the block coal operators Toted, at the joint cooY.'Dtion of cnerators and miners at Indianapolis, Feb. 5-7. l?s3, for the scale base, which calls tor the Frice the miners are now aklnz. He forgets to inrro the public that the miners hare repeatedly asked to hare the whole question submitted to an impartial board of arbitrators, and that the operators hiTe re.fud to accept the proposition. I mii?ht further add that the contraction of the block coal field is responsible for a portion of the decrea'i of the general output of the same, snd thus another areuraent in the miners' favor.
THE BOARD OF CHARITIES. Arbitration Refused By Operators and the Conference Ends. Ehazil, June ". Special. As soon as the board of charities met the operators and the strikers' committee this morning a resolution was introduced that each side appoint a committee of two to confer with one representative of the board, in order to reduce the size of the conference, it having been found that w ith a large number iu consultation little could be accomplished. Almost endless and unimportant discussions arose and occupied the time of the conference. The motion prevailed unanimously, although it really afieoted the operators only, inasmuch as the miners' committee already consisted of but four persons, while the operators were present in a body, being unwilling, apparently, to submit their case to a committee even of their own number. The above motion, however, having prevailed, Messrs. M. H. Johnson and II. V.. Terry were anpointed to represent the operators, and William Gait and J. Dalle to represent the miners, while ecy. Johnson was selected to act upon behalf of the bo;ird. These gentlemen adjourned to the office of the Brazil block coal company and remained in close consultation until nearly noon. The main question considered by them was the matter of powder, Eiuithinst; and rent, and the operators finally agreed that in view of the reduction of wa;es the cost of (mithing and powtier and the price of rent should also be reduced, with the understanding that whenever the price for digging coal advanced the charges for smithing, powder and rent should also be increased. This proposition was accepted as reasonable by the two mirn?rs on the committee, but it was all that was really accomplished by the conference, Messrs. Johnson and Terry maintaining that the idea of any advance over 70 and 73 cents as the price for digging coal was out of the ouestion. The sub-committee then returned to the Y. M.C. A. and reported to the main conference, but it was here learned that even the small concessions made by Messrs. Johnson and Perry in regard to smithing, powder and rent was not acceptable to the general body of operators, and a motion prevailed that the operators would make euch concessions as soon as the miners had come to their terms. So ended the conference vith the state board of charities. The latter had struggled a day and a half without accomplishing any apparent good, except to bring the two condictinx elements together, which had not been done before. It was decided that the board, with the exception of Secy. Johnson, should return to Indianapolis at 1 o'clock. .Secy. Johnson was to remain for a day or so and exert what effort he could to bring about the much-wished-for settlement He was invited to attend the meeting of the miners to be held in the afternoon, and decided to do so. The called meeting of the miners' executive committee, held this afternoon to hear the report of the committee which had participated in the conference, accomplished virtually nothing looking toward a settlement of the strike. The committee of canvass was commended for its wort, but the universal impression was that the refusal of the oxtrators to arbitrate showed that the latter w?re in the wrong; and the fact that they wonld make no concessions justläed the miners in remaining out. THEY WILL STAY OUT. The Conl ?Itner Vote Almost Cnantmomsty Not to Iteturn to Vork. r.KAZlt, July 1. Special. The striking minert held meetings in some localities last Saturday and at other points to-day. Bv some misunderstanding the meetings were not uniformly held. Complete and official returns are not yet in, but enough is known to say that the meager concessions proposed by the operators have been rejected, and that by an almost unanimous vote the strikers have declared their intention to stay out until they are conceded better wages or arbitration. Every indication jut at this time seems to forecast a protracted and bitter struggle. The Hoard Keturns. The state board of charities returned from Brazil Thursday. The board has no official report to make, but each member has his view of the situation and these views are quite harmonious. The board's proposal to the operators to arbitrate was utterly refused, the operators claiming that as regards price paid to carry on their work they were paying all they could and would Dot submit to any arbitration which would make them pay more. But they taid that they were williup to make concession this far: That it the miners would accept the terms of the operators they (the operators) would reduce the price charged for sharpening tools to 1 cent; the price for powder from $2.25 to ?2; the rent in accordance with the wages received by the miners. This proposition was laid before the miners yesterday and it is thouzht will b accepted. "There is no fetling between the miners and operators," Judge Martindale thinks; "both parties look upon the matter as a business proposition, the one thinking the wages paid too low, the other admitting this, but maintaining that no mere can be paid. There can be no question that there is lots of destitution among the miners." The Rev. ' Oscar McCuIloch could not say when work wonld be resumed. He only knew that the operators were paying all they would, and refused to arbitrate. ' Have your recent observations led you to a different conclusion from that expressed in yonr sermon two weeks asro?" "Not in the least," he said. I rginjj the Ciootl Work Alone. The Fort Wayne Journal publishes the following letter from Mr. Charles A. Bookwalter, superintendent of the state priuting bureau: I see that you are raising a fund for the relief of the Clay county miners, and being located as I am a hundred or more miles nearer the scene of suöering than you are, I thought I would write you and urge along the good work. I know that thousands of people are su tic ring terribly, aud milcss help comes at once there will undoubtedly be deaths from starvation. Any attempts to pn jndice the cause of the strikinir miners can easily be traced to the operators and their toolj, who thus seek to force the men to accept a scale which in itself means starvation, though possibly of a more lingering nature than would follow the further continuation of the strike. Indianapolis has given so far over jd,r00, and the good work goes bravely on. Yours fraternally, C. A. Book Walter. A ;iis?.tly Accident. East .Saginaw, Mich., June 2?. The body of John David's infant child was laid out preparatory to interment at Milbourne yesterday and lighted candles were placed around the coftin.

MR. BEGGS UNDER ARREST.
ANOTHER STEP IN THE CRONIN CASE. Salesman Fl.itfleld of Messrs. Ravelle & Co. Thought H.iu To He the Mysterious "J. B. fMnionds" The Grand Jury and Alexander Sullivan After Cooney, Chicago, June 2o. John I. Be?$s, senior guardian of camp No. 20, Clan-na-Gael, is under arrest. The police have kept the arrest secret, and they to-nijrht refused to tell where Bergs was immured. Beggs arrival at the grand jury room to-day in a patrol wagon was the first intimation that he had been taken into custody. The prisoner is a well-to-do lawyer, and has had some prominence as a politician. He was certainly at liberty last evening. The impression gained ground that he was arrested late at night on orders from State's Atty. Longenecker, whose theory that a committee of camp No. 20 tried and condemned Dr. Cronin as a Fpy has become the principal phase of the investiga tion. It was thought that he was taken from his home to the Warren-ave. police station, in the extreme western part of the city, and kept there until to-day, when he was brought up before the grand jury. The indications are that Begs' replies to interrogatories in the grand jury room did not throw any light on the theory that camp No. 20 "removed" Dr. Cronin as a spy. When the Benior guardian came out of the jury room he was quickly taken off in the patrol wagon under gnard. Chief Hubbard, to-night, when importuned by newspaper men who desired to interview the prisoner, said Beggs did not wish to be seen. On this foundation rumors spread that Becgs was the camp No. 20 informer whom the authorities have intimated they were in communication with. The idea that Beggs hud turned informer was not, however, credited to any wide extent. BELIEVES THAT CRONIN LIVES. Kditor KothnVer of Omaha Thinks the Doctor is in England. Kansas City, June 25. O. II. Kotbaker, managing editor of the Omaha Kcprlliean, is in the city to visit his friend, Becorder Michael Boland. Mr. Rothaker was asked by a reporter for an opiniou on the (''ronin murder, and replied: ''Cronin is not dead. He is alive, and will show no in England before many more days." i'u.shed for nn explanation for his belief, Mr. Rothaker said that for a number of years he had been in a position to know of the character and movements of Irishmen connected with organizations in the I'nited States interested in the emancipation of Ireland from England's tyranny, lie scoffed the idea that Recorder Boland. Alexander fullivnn or any one one of the "triangle" were responsible for the alleged removal of Crcuin. Mr. Rothaker expressed himself as being positive that the body found in the sewer was not that of Cronin, but "a stiff," obtained from a Chicago medical college. Continued Mr. Rothaker: ' "My belief that Cronin i? alive is strengthened by a telegram addressed to a prominent Irishman in Omaha, and which was 6hown me. It was sent from Chicago, and its contents were to theetlect that positive assurance had been received by the pender that Cronin was still alive and requestin information as to his whereabouts." VALUABLE INFORM MION Regarding Bnrke and Cooney Secured rjy the Chicago Police. Chicago, June 26. An afternoon paper says that the police of this city have secured a clew to the whereabouts of a man to whom Martin Burke sent a dispatch from Winnipeg. It was addressed to "Rhyneton. Hancock, Mich." The assertion is made that the man is wellknown there, and that he has left the place, but that the police are ou his track aud expect to arrest him soon. It is further given as a rumor that a large number of letters, written by Detective Couirhlin, now under arrest, to parties in Hancock, have fallen into the hands of the police. It is also alleged that the police have secured possession of a letter written ny Rhyneton to Burke at Winnipeg, containing valuable informHtion. It has been discovered that on May 1 4. while Martin Burke was in Joliet, 111., a men named Patrick Coor.eysent him from tbis city a mom y order for ?10. It is supposed tliot this is the same Tatrick Cooney for whom the police are looking. Asfsi. State's Atty, Baker arrived here frora Washington to-day with the papers for the extradition of Burke, and left tor Winnipeg tonight, Cooney in Missouri. CmiXICOTnE, Mo., June 2. Cooney. one of the alleged murderers of Dr. Cronin, is said to be working on a farm in this county. A detective, who claims to have no connection with the Tinkertons, has been here two days. He says that "The Fox" was in Ksnsas City eight days ago. The detective left for the country this morning. THE GRAND JURY Once More Looking Into Alexander Sullivan's Speculating Record. CHICAGO, June 27. The grand jury took a new tack In the Cronin case this morning and once more ßtarted in to look up Alexander Sullivan's speculations. Messrs. Schwartz and Dupee w ere subpented to bring their books into the jury for inspection. It is believed that in this way Ifcht will be thrown upon features of Alexander Sullivan's speculating record w hich have hitherto escaped scrutiny. The actions of the police indicate that some arrests are about to be made. i?orae one is reported to have "squealed" the police refuse to say w ho and rumor Las it that a drag-net is about to land some of the conspirators high and dry. Among the other witnesses before the grand jury were a man named O'Malley, J. G. Ryan, who said he was not a Clau-na-Gael ; Pat Dolen, the saloon-keeper; Frank Scanlan, M. F. Brady, the north-side milk-man; William Kelly, John Muldoon and several Clan-na'Gael people. The afternoon session adjourned at 7:30 this evening for the day. Nothing of interest developed. An indictment was returned by the grand jnry, but it was against a gambler for a petty oflense, having no connection with the Cronin aflair. Chicago, June 27. Salesman Hatfield of Revelle & Co., was allowed an opportunity this afternoon to see Lawyer John F. Beggj, t-enior guardian of Clan-na-Gael camp No. 20, in his cell at the armory. The object was to see whether Hatfield could identify Beggs as "J. B. 8imonds," who bought the Carlsou cottage furniture. He was unable to make the identification. It seem that a messenger boy in Revelle's, who was present when ISimonds boutrht the furniture, subsequently saw Beggs on the street and thought he recoguized him as imonds. An afternoon paper says: "John F. Beggs was arrested because the police were apprised that the schemers had concocted a cock-an ibull story about the alleged trial in camp No. 20, which was given by all the members of that camp in great detail. The story was told to the grand jury, but there was too much of an exact sameness about it to Btatnp it with the - seal of truth. It was learned that John F. Beggs had been visiting the members of th alleged trial committee, and be, it was thought, had put a flea into the ear of more than one ot the committee. 'Therefore,' said Detective Palmer to-day, 'we thought it best to put Mr. John F. Beggs where he could not talk or hold communication with the outside world. We thought, too, that Mr. Bergs could be got at w itu greater case if tinder arrest than if he were allowed to roam at will." Chicago, June 29. The clock in Judge Shepard'a court-room registered the hour of 5:10 this afternoon when the special grand jury, which has been investigating the Cronin mystery filed into the room with their report. Every juror answered to his name as the clerk called the roll, and as the call was completed Judge SheDard. who had been in waiting since 4:V o'clock, addressed Foreman Clough: "Ilaveyou a report to make" "We have," and a document upon which all eyes fastened with eager interest was handed to tha judij;t. ' ' "Have you further business.gentlemen?" was the next query. "I think we have finished what we have to do." "Then you may be excused from any further service." With this stereotyped conversation ended the work of the grand jury. '. The report indicted seven men, of whom three wer already in jail uader Dievious in
dictments Cougtlin, P. O. Sullivan and Woodruff aud a fourth. John F. Beggs, was tinder arrest on suspicion. The fifth man was Martin Burke, the suspect in custody at Winnipeg. The sixth and pevenib men indicted are still at large Patrick Cooney, "the Fox." and John Kunze, a friend of Detective CoughHn, whose alleged complicity was only brought to the attention of the authorities within the past two days. Within aa hoar after the return of the indictment a capias had been made for John F. Beggs, the senior guardian of camp No. 30, Clan-na-Gael, whote place of detention has been a down-town police station. He was at once transferred to a cell near the other accused in murderers' row at the county jail. None of the prisoners or suspects were represented in court when the grand jury reported. Few persons at all were present besides officials, except a number of newspaper men. After the last formalities of the long inquisition were ended, State's Atty. Longenecker told a number of reporters that he had cot yet dropped the case in its relation to Alexander Sullivan. The state's attorney claimed that the grand jury had been unable, owing to the expiration of its term, to hear all the evidence that could be presented against Mr. Sullivan. The inquiry as to Sullivan would be continued to the next jury. Whether it would b another special panel or the reenlar body conld not at present be stated. It was conceded by Mr. Longerecker in private conversation that up to the moment that the term of the grand jury expired the authorities had not secured sufficient evidence upon which Sullivan could be convicted. An indictment of him, therefore, so the state's attorney reasoned.would undoubtedly result in an immediate trial or acquittal, barring forever any other proceedings, a result which, from Mr. Longenecker's standpoint, was not to be desired. Another reason lor the state's attorney's course is said to be a hope on his port that before the trial of the men indicted is ended some of them may be induced, throusrh. hope of saving their own necly, to give evidence directly incriminating Sullivan. KUNZE IS THE MAN
Who Drove Cronin to the Cnrlson Cottage on the Fatal Night. Chicago, June 29. Kunze, the Cronn suspect, whose name became talked about for the first time to-day, is a picture-frame maker, who spent a good deal of time around the Chicago-ave. police station, to which Detective Coughlin was attached. Kunze is supposed to have driven Cronin to the Carlson cottage on the fatal night of May 4. State's Atty. Loneenecker talks very positively about having evidence enough to surely hang Coughlinand Kunze. It is intimated that the'ptate has in reserve two witnesses who will swear to seeing Coughlin and Kunze near the cottage that night, and equally direct testimony against Cooney and Burke. One of the witnesses is said to be a member of camp No. 20. The evidence against Beggs is understood to consist chiefly of suspicious passages in his correspondence with his superior officer in the Clan-na-Gael, Edward Shellman of Peoria. KUNZE "SQUEALED." The German the Important Witness Before the Grand Jury Saturday. Chicago, July 1. To-night it is learned that the German, John Kunze, who was indicted by the grand jury Saturday last, together with six others, for complicity in the murder of Pr. Cronin, is in the hands of the police, and has been for several days. It is stated further that Kunze is the important witness whose testimony before the grand jury Saturday hastened the indictments and final report. It is understood that Kunze has told the police all he knows about the aflair and confessed that he drove Detective Coughlin to the Carlson cottage on the night of May 4, the horse and wagon used being the property of P. O. Sullivan, the indicted ice-man. What further information the authorities obtained from Kunze is not yet known. LATEST NEWS ITEMS.
