CRONIN CASE WITNESSES.
A NEWS AGENT ON A TRAIN VOL.
UNTEEBS INFORMATION.
He Claims to Have Seen the Men
Loading the Trunk at the Carlson
Cottage and Later to Have Been
Them Dumping the Body Into the
Catch-Basin.
Chicago, June 22. —A man who claims
to be an important witness in the Cronin
case turned up last night. He is George E.
Brooks, a news agent, running on one of
the railroad’s coming into the Union depot.
His story is to the effect that on the night
of May 4 he was driving in Lakeview with
his sweetheart, and happening along Ash
land avenue he saw three men loading
a trunk into a wagon at the Carlson cot
tage, and that about half an hour later
he saw the same men dumping the contents
of the trunk into the catch basin in which
the body of Cronin was found. He also
says he saw the men distinctly and will be
able to identify them, and that his female
companion also saw them and that she,
too, will be able to identify them. He is
ready to produce the young woman as soon
as the authorities want her.
WHY HE DIDN’T TELL BEFORE.
Brooks’ explanation of his failure to tell
his story before is that he was afraid of
losing his life, as be belioved'tho men con
cerned in the murder were so desperate
that they would kill anyone who they
thought might turn up as a witness against
them. He said the knowledge he possessed
bad so weighed on his mind that he could
not keep it to himself any longer, and be
lieving that it was a duty he owed himself
and the community, he at last decided to
tell all he bad seen. He first stipulated that
he should be given protection. This was
promised him. Brooks told his story to
Chief Hubbard, with whom he was closeted
for over two hours last night. He described
the three men whom he saw, and bis de
scription of one is said to fit Burke, the
W innipeg prisoner.
“A cablegram from the solicitor of the
London Times,” says the Daily Mews, “was
received at the office of Attorney Frank
Collier this morning, requesting him to
procure, as soon as possible, a certified copy
of the evidence taken by the coroner in the
Cronin inquest. For "what purpose the
Times wants the evidence is not known.
Mr. Collier is now on his way to England.”
A FRIEND OF BURKE ARRESTED.
Anew arrest was made this afternoon.
The prisoner is Michael Walsh, a plumber,
who has been working at Joliet. He knew
Burke, the Winnipeg suspect, in Chicago.
Burke, it is reported, turned up in Joliet
the day after the Cronin tragedy
and remained with Walsh, prac
tically penniless, until June 9,
when it is thoughts money order came
to the Winnipeg man from Chicago. The
natural infereuce would be that Walsh’s
arrest was due to a desire on the part of the
police to elicit anything of value be may
know regarding Burke.
This afternoon Frank Woodruff com
menced in the city court a suit for $19,500
damages for libel against the proprietor of
a dime museum, who has on exhibition a
wax “Agger” of the horae thief as one of
the accomplices in the murder.
The grand jury will resume the con
sideration of the Cronin murder mystery
Monday morning, at which time the testi
mony of G. E. Brooks will be received.
DETECTIVES AT BRUNSWICK.
Brunswick, Ga., June 22.—Two de
tectives arrived on the 6 o’clock train this
morning from Chicago, and immediately
sought a prominent lawyer. They are look
ing for an important witness in the Cronin
murder case, who is thought to have been
spirited to the coast by the conspirators.
By the merest accident their presence and
the object of their visit was learned, and
a reporter immediately started to inter
view one of them. The detective was
thunderstruck when he learned that he was
known, and claimed that he was a member
of the Macon Guards. He evidently thought
his words would be swallowed and the re
porter would think a mistake was made
and he was attending the encampment, but
the reporter knew there was no such com
pany as the Macon Guards and told him so.
This cornered him and he gave in. The
witness was not found here and they took
the 7 o’clock train for Savannah.

A Mother and Beven Children Drowned
in Arkansas.
Little Rock, June 22.—A distressing
story comes from Clinton, on the upper Red
river. An old man named Emmerson was
with his family in his house at night, when
a fierce storm arose. After an hour’s rain
water gradually flooded his house
and, fearing danger inside, he gath
ered two of his children in bis
arms and made for the door, to
escape. As the door opened a huge log
afloat dashed into the entrance and knocked
the little ones from his arms. Tiiey fell at
his feet into the swift current and were lost.
He then took up two more, one in each arm,
and succeeded in getting out with thorn
safely, telling his wife to follow with the
others, but in attempting to escape in the
same manner the mother, with two children
in her arms, and three clinging to her
dress, was carried down with the flood and
drowned.
THE OTHERS ESCAPED.
The father and two children, the only
ones left in the family of eleven, escaped
with their lives. The night was dark, and
the father, with only two survivors, stood
in water above his waist, dinging to a tree
for several hours, and when the water sub
sided in the morning a search was made,
and the dead bodies of the mother ana
the seven children were discovered scat
tered here and there for a considerable dis
tance around the place, tbelr clothing
having caught in underbrush and the bodies
having bean held fast in that way. Two of
tne bodies were found in a garden lot a
short distance from the house, where they
had been carried by the force of the water,
and the others as far as fifty yards from the
house.

physicians met accidentally at the Bedford
street hospital last night They represented
all parts of the stricken city, and after dis
cussing the calamity joined in the conclu
sion that not less than 10,000 people were
lost in the flood. On account of the general
knowledge of the people possessed by the
physicians their estimate is looked upon as
reliable.
Twenty-four of the portable houses from
Chicago were assigned to the same uuuil er
of the most destitute families here to-day.
More houses are expected to reach here to

out early this morning in Vancouver, W.
TANARUS., and in less than two hours it swept over
nearly four blocks in the business portion
of the town. These blocks fortunately were
oovered with small frame buildings, and
the loss will probably not reach $70,000.
The insurance is very light. During the
night there were two fires, which were un
doubtedly of incendiary origin, but they
were extinguished without damage. The
third was also incendiary. Among the
buildings burned was the city jail, and

A TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS
AMONG THE MINES.
Score* of Families Without a Mouth
fill to Eat—Some Living on Bread
and Water, and Other on Lettuce
and Potatoes—An Appeal to the
Country for Help.
Chicago, 111., June 22. —A morning
paper publishes the results of a tour of in
vestigation into the condition of the mining
towns of Braidwood and Streator, 111. It
says: “The condition of Braidwood is one
to call for the commiseration and immediate
practical help of the people of the United
States. The normal population of
the town is about 5,600, all di
rectly dependent upon the coal mining
industry for their daily bread. At this
time not one ounce of coal is being mined,
and the inhabitants are at the point of
starvation. Men, women and children
share in the blight which nas overcast this
section. The causes of the stagnation are
two—the contined depression of tne coal
industry here ami the culminating strike or
lockout, which has placed 1,500 bre id
winners beyond the possibility of utilizing
their labor.”
A TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The reporter found that most of the
single men and some of the married men
had left the town in search of work. He
discovered many families with six, eight or
ten children without a morsel of food iu the
house. Some who have gardens are living
on potatoes and lettuce. Many have not
tasted meat this year. Food supplies in
small amounts have been sent them, but
they are totally inadequate to the necessi
ties of the case. The article says: “There
is pressing and immediate necessity for
those poor people.
IN ABSOLUTE WANT.
“Not less than 3,000 women and children
are in absolute want of food, and relief
cannot be too quickly sent thorn. At
Streator about 2,500 miners havo been idle
for several weeks resisting a proposed re
duction of 10 cents per ton in the price of
mining. To date about 800 applications for
relief have been received. The relief com
mittee states that many families are living
on bread and water, and that there are
about 300 applicants for help that they have
failed thus far to relieve on account of lack
of funds.
LALLY GETS OFF LIGHT.
Clan-na-Gael Members Said to Have
Been On the Jury.
Chicago, June 22.—William C. Lally,
who was alleged to have stolen a package
containing eightv-five registered letters
from the postoffice a few weeks ago, was,
this morning, found guilty of having stolen
property in his possession, knowing the
same to be stolen. A local news bureau
says that Capt Stewart and other govern
ment officials were amazed at the verdict of
the jury, which had been out about twenty
four hours. They claim that the evidence
was conclusive to as Lally’s guilt on the
chargeof stealing,and say they will makean
effort to trace rumcrs afloat regarding some
influences that are said to have
operated on some of the jurors. All but
three of tne jury were iu favor of return
ing a verdict of guilty as to the principal
charge, but these men held out stubbornly
for an acquittal, and finally a compromise
verdict was reached. It is said that the
reason for this was that Lally is a moinber
of the Clan-na-Gael, and associated with
the members of Camp No. 20, in which Dr.
Cronin’s death is alleged to have been
planned, and that at least one of the jurors
was also a member of the secret order, and
associated among the same people.
LAKE SUPERIOR’S IRON MINES.
The Shipments of the Past Week
Phenomenally Large.
Chicago, June 22.—A special from Mar
quette, Mich., says: “Shipments of ore
from the iron mines of Lake Superior hold
up wonderfully well in view of the lack of
activity in the iron market. For the week
ending June 19 the mines sent forward by
lake 257,615 tons, the largest amount of ore
the mines have ever ship|>ed in a singlo
week. Of this total, 57,919 tons went from
thii port, 105,942 from Escanaba, 2,681
from St. Ignace, 52,296 from Ashland and
38,777 from Two Harbors. The Es
canaba shipment given above was
the largest ever made from that
port in a single week. The
output for the season to date amounts to
1,820,769 tons, the gain over the shipments
of 1888 for the corresponding period being
985,421 tons. There must? be an easing up
in shipments later in the season, os the
market could not take the quantity of ore
the mines would place on it this year were
the present rate of output to be maintained
during the continuance of navigation.”
GEN. TAFT’S FUNERAL.

many prominent business men and demo
crats. These also constituted in great part

the crowd which attended the fu ieral. The
Holy Communion is the only high Episco
pal church in the a tat), and is the fashion
able church of Charleston in the Episcopal
faith. Those who were intimate with the
deceased say that his estate is far from
large. He leaves only one child, who is

tives save his wife.

weather crop bulletin of the signal service
for the past week:
The week ending June 22, has been
slightly warmer than usual, generally
throughout all the agricultural regions
east of the Mississippi river. More than
the usual amount of rain is reported from
Georgia and Tennessee, while well distribu
ted showers occurred in the South
Atlantic states and Virginia. The
rainfall for the season continues

and at present the rainfall in this section
generally exceeds 70 per cent, of normal
generally favorable.
The weather was generally favorable for
growing crops in all the districts except
Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas, where
excessive rains caused some damage to
wheat and c tton. Reports from these
states show that crops are growing rapidly
but becoming grassy.
Harvesting of wheat, barley and clover is
in progress as far north as the central por
tions of Ohio, Indiana aud Illinois, but the
work has been retarded by the frequent
rains, and in some sections the harvested
crops havo been slightly injured by the
rains.
Reports from Kentucky state that the
tobacco crop is excellent.
High temporaturo and general rains in
Louisiana were very favorable, and, doubt
less, greatly improved the corn, cane and
rice crops.

fi eted. The wheat harvest is aliout corn
completed and the crop prospects are re
ported as fine.

Success.

exercises of the Quitman academy, under
the management of Prof. Homer Wright,

tableaux and ealistheuie exercises.
These were all good and showed that no
little amonnt of time, labor and patience
had been spentfin making them so. Last

“The Old Field School of Fifty
Years Ago,” was produced. It was
a great take off of the manner

names the names of prominent citizens and
well-known characters of the town.

DERBY BAY AT CHICAGO.
SPOKANE WINS THE BIG PURSE OF
SIB,OOO.
Proctor Knott Makes a Good Start
But Proves That His Racing Days
Are Over by Coming in Last—Sor
rento Comes in Second and Retrieve
Third.
Chicago, June 22.—The sixth American
derby was won by Spokane to-day in the
presence of tho greatest crowd that has ever
assembled on an American race course.
Fully 35,000 people were in attendance.
There was hardly a vacant foot of standing
room on the grounds and not a vacant seat
on the huge grand stand. Tho
track was in fair order, but not fast.
Betting, especially over the American
derbey, was something tremendous. It was
almost at the risk of life that the book
makers’ stands were to be reached, and the
struggle iu the bettiug rink beggars de
scription.
When the flag fell for the race Once
Again was in front, followed by Sorrento,
Don Jose, Proctor Knott, Iking Dance, Re
trieve and Spokane in the order numed.
“Dare Devil" immediately plied the whip
and Kuott shot ahead like a flash, Onoe
Again being taken back by Murphy. The
race was fairly fat aud all seemed content
with their positions, which down the
stretch and past the stand were not
changed, except that for a moment Don
Jose made a spurt. There Knott had an
advantage of two lengths over the others,
who were well bunched, with! Spokane
bringing up the rear under a strong pull.
PASSING THE CLUB HOUSE.
Past the club house, with its wealth of
fashion, Kuott lost some f his lead, and as
seven horses raced passed the three-quarter
pole Sorrento was one and a half lengths be
hind tho leador and one-third distance bet
ter than Don Jose. Then, as Fitzpatrick
let out a link, all moved up and the paoe
became desperate. When the half mile
mark fell behind tho racers there
was just daylight between him and
Retrieve, who had come up
in a rush, while Don Jose was still third
and Spokane fourth. Long Dance and Once
Again being practically out of the chase.
Sorrento, who hail been running easily in
second place all along, was out off on the
great turn, and while making for the
stretch was actually lost, when Taral
pulled the Californian to the outside and,
making up tho lost ground, flew to the
leaders so rapidly that his backers trembled
with joy.
SPOKANE’S GREAT RUN.
As the homestretch was touched he was
second again to Proctor Knott, but there
the futurity winner gave out, and there
Spokane made his run. So fast did the
Montana colt come that rushing past the
last quarter he was actually loading, while
Knott had already fallen to third place, Re
trieve dividing the pace. Again Sorrento
advanced gamely, but though stronger
than those behind could not dis
tance Spokane, who came away without
tasting whip or spur, and won very easily
by a full length, with Sorrento second, a
head before Retrieve, third, followed by
Don Jose, Long Dance, Once Again and
Proctor Knott. The latter, cut up and
very tired,stopped at the saddling paddock,
and was taken to his stable, while crowds
hurrahed, and the band played as a saddle
of roses was being placed on the winner’s
haunches.
So much money came down from the
northwest that Spokane went to the
pool a heavy favorite at 6to 5. The closing
odds were: Knott. 2to 1; Don Jose, 4to 1;
Once Again, 6 to 1; Sorrento, 8 to 1; Long
Dance uud Retrive, 30 to 1 each. When
Spokane reached his stall he was almost
mobbed by the Montana Btablo’s frenzied
attendants, who clung about his neck and
would not allow him rest till Trainer
Kogedgap han shouted himself horse. The
time was 2:41%

A BAD BLUNDER.
A most unfortunate blander on the part
of the judges occurred which lod to serious
results. '‘No. 7” was put up as the winner
instead of "No. 3.” making it appear that
Baggage bad won the race instead of Red
light. Britton, who rode tho winner, went
to the judgos’ stand to remonstrate
but was not listened to, the judges ap
parently not yet discovering their
blunder. The crowd raised a howl and
for an hour the greatest confusion pre
vailed. The number having been hoisted
the natural result was tiiat the bookmakers
paid out upon the strength of Bigg&go
being the first horse, and Paris mutuals did
the same, when the judges an hour later
fluidly discovered and acknowledged their
error, tho mischief had been done, and
nearly all the ready money betters had been
paid. An indignation c unmittee called on
Treasurer J. It. Walsh aid were assured
that the injustice would be rectified at the
meeting to be held to-morrow at the club
house.
COLUMBUS’ OOWHIDINO.
Friends of the Man Who Was Whipped
to Make an Investigation.
Columbus, Ga., June 22.—Judge W. J.
Carlisle, Judge W. C. Robinson, Col. B. K.
Collier and Hon. W. D, Kyle, relatives and
friends of Felix Carlisle of Opelika, . who
was cowhided by E. H. Jenkins at the Cen
tral hotel in this city on Friday, reached
Columbus to-night. Ti ey are here for the
purpose of thoroughly investigating the
matter, and they are confldout that Mr.
Carlisle will be exonerated of the charge of
insulting Mr. Jenkins' little daughter. He
denies it very emphatically himself, and in
sists that a grievous injustice has been done
him. .He claims that the assault
made upon him was so unexpected and un
warranted that for the time it completely
disconcerted him. The gentlemen who are
here from Opelika say that it is simply
their object to arrive at the facts in the case.
They are all prominent and well known
citizens of East Alabama, and they ask that
the public will hold tbeir condemnation of
Mr. Carlisle until tho matter has been thor
oughly sifted. They insist that his char
rcter is of too high a standard to admit of
the belief that be is guilty of the charge
against him.

BERLIN'S CABLE BUDGET.
The Wohlgemuth Affair—Emperor
William's Health.
Copyright 1889, by .V*w York Associated
Press.
Berlin, June 23. —The declarations of the
Swiss Bundesrath in relation to the Wohl
gemuth affair are regarded here as putting
an end to the differences bet ween German y
and Switzerland. The North. German Ga
zette to-day withdraws all oountenanoe
from Wohlgemuth, whom it describes as
surprisingly wanting in sagacity and in
discreetly confiding his dealings with politics
in Winuon, who was unknown to him. The
unexpected ending of the matter by dis
avowal of Wohlgemuth is largely due to
Lord Salisbury's steady refusal to address
any remonstrance to (Switzerland. It i|
also a concession to public opinion, which
strongly opposes the idea of any measures
of reprisal against Switzerland as unworthy
of Germany.
Politicians are now mainly concerned
with the question of the meeting of the
emperors. The czarewitch left St. Peters
burg this moruing and is expeoted
here on'Mondny en route to Stuttgart to
attend the Wurtemburg fetes. It is be
lieved that his visit will result in an ar
rangement in accordance with which the
czar will come to Berlin.
EMPEROR WILLIAM’S HEALTH.
Emperor William's proposed visit to
Alsace has tieen abandoned on advice of his
physicians, who reooinmend a short period

land and Greece. The doctors wanted the
emperor to take salt water baths at some
watering place, but ho refused.
It has therefore boon arranged for him to
take suit baths in the yacht Hobetixolleru
during his trip to Norway. Ho will goner
ally sleep ou board the yacht, but when It
is necessary to stay a-hore a log cabin will
be run up for his accommodation. He will
amuse himself With fishing and shoot

work both here and at Frankfort, but at
Dusseldorf and Nuremberg a general strike
has been declared.
Count deßenotnar, formerly Spanish am
bassador here, writes to the Post to contra
dict various rumors set afloat concerning

ARMAGH’S ACCIDENT.

by a Test.

cent railroad disaster at Armagh it was
alleged by the engineer that the engine was
unable to draw the heavy train up the

fore dwtached, and hence the accident. To
day a test was made to determine whether
the engineer’s claim was well founded. The
same engine was attached to a train of equal

TOLLESON BTILL A PRISONER IN
THE JAIL.
Judge Clarke’s Sticking Qualities in
the Matter of a Family Inheritance—
A Bor Turns Against His Father—
The Argument Not Completed Yet
In the Whitlock Murder Trial.
Atlanta, G a., June 22.—1 tis beginning
to look as though the confinement of
Banker J. R. Tolleson in Fulton jail will be
perpetual. He was sent to jail because he
refused to show up the assets of the Mer
cantile Banking Company, and it has been
a case of "stay there” without variation
over since. He tried to get out oa a habeas
corpus writ and he then got desperately ill,
but in each instance came the inexorable
command from Judge Clarke to "star
there.”
HIS OFFER TO COMPROMISE.
Some time since Tolleson made an offer
to settle with the creditors of the Mercan
tile Banking Company on certain condi
tions The creditors declined the proposi
tion, but it bad the effect, however, to im
prow Judge Clarke with the belief that
Tolies n lias money, and that is one reason
why all efforts to secure the release of ths
Imprisoned banker have failed. The
truth of the matter is that Tolleson la still
doing some financiering. He knows if he
wore to give up bis money to be released
from Jail ho wouldn’t get to the gate Ijefora
ho would bo recommitted on a dozen war
rants. and it would still be a case of "stay
there," with no cash to console him.
RUNS IH THE PAMILT.
The staying qualities of Judge Marshall
J. Clarke in this ease seem to run in the
family. A case parallel to that of Tolleson
eaiue up before a brother of Judge Clarke
Judge John T. Clarko, in 1864. Jacob I.!
Cobb, in Randolph county, refused to turn
over certain assets to a receiver, and was
sent to jail, whore he remained a year and
a half. He only got out then by being
drafted into the confederate army. In the
Tolleson case, however, even that possi
bility is not possible.
A BAD BOT.
Call Officer George Hamilton of the At
lanta police force was called upon this
morning to perform a sad duty. John I.
Blocks, an old gentleman Uvli g at No. 20
Ivey street, sent for the policeman to carry
his son, Edward Htocks, to the lock up.

this morning, while trying to whip him, he
attacked his father and tried to kill him.
The father interviewed his son shortly after
he was locked up, aud told him if he would
loave the city aud never return, he would
have him released. boy promised to
leave immediately and was turned out.

the Whitlock murder trial, yet. Two more
