RESCUE OF THE CRONIN PRISON
ERS ON THE TAPIS.
The Allesred Conspiracy Discovered
by the State—Suspicious Looking
Strangers from Michigan Caught
Communicating With the Prisoners.
Couzhlan and Burke the Men Most
Wanted.
Chicago, Oct. 19.—The L>ailtj Sews
] rints a sensational story this morning,
alleging that a desperate plot has been dis
covered having for its object the rescue by
f rce from Judge McConnell’s court some
,lav neat week of Martin Burlte and Daniel
t oughlan, the Cronin suspects now await
ing trial with O’Sullivan, Beggs and Kunz.
Humors to the effect that such a move has
been considered havo been current for some
time, but Attorney Longnecker paid no
attention to them until Wednesday, when
n-Sheriff Heaiy of Hancock, Mich., asked
permission to see Coughlan in jail. This,
the Sews says, aroused State’* Attorney
liOngnecker’s suspicions. He granted the
request, but had a shadow on hand to listen
to the interview. Nothing was heard,
iiowever, as Heaiy and Coughlan took
pains to keep away from the vicinity of the
“shadow.”
SIGNALS IN COURT.
Yesterday morning when court opened
.1 udge Longnecker, who had been warned
that several uspicious looking strangers
l.ai eon observed in the room for a few
days back, looked about and noticed them.
Hoo.i after one of them was observed mak
ing signals, which from Coughlan’s appear
mice were understood by him. This con
tinued some time, when the mysterious
granger and a coniDanion arose and left the
court room. The two mon wore shadowed

land and Vancouver, B. C. Returning to
the court room the reporter witnessed more
agnaling, this time between the stranger
and Martin Burke. The stranger sat beside
art Irishman known to be an intimate
acquaintance of Coughlan.
DRAWING A PLAN OF THE ROOM.
This man was apparently taking notes on
a piece of paper. When the reporter
worked his way close enough, he discovered
that the man had drawn a very good plan
of the court room and its approacues. The
man saw that he was being observed and
left the court room hurriedly. The News
says the plan of the conspirat >rs was t > be
carried out probably next Monday when the
prisoners were returning to the court room
from dinner. The rescuing party would
jump up, overpower the half dozen bailiffs
it. tim court room, make a show of revolv
ers, and esc rt Coughlan and Burke to car
nage which would be iu waiting, and carry
them way.
ASCRIBED TO TUB CLAN-NA-GAEL.
The plot, which the Sews ascribes to the
Clau-na-Gael, it says, was "got up id the
interest of Coughlan and Burke only for
tue reason that they are the two men who
must be saved at all hazards, in order to
prevent their confession and implicating
men whose necks are thought to be v/orth
email more to the clan. It is stated that
Judge Longaeckor has good reason to be
lieve that toe mysterious strangers are
members of the Clau-na-Gael from Michi
gan, who have come here especially to assist
m the attempted rescue. Elaborate pre
cautions have been taken by the authorities
to prevent any surprise, and all strangers
are being shadowed.
No new jurors were secured to-day.
Three peremptory challenges were used by
each side. The defendants have live per

BALFOUR ON THE STUMP.
A Donial that Home Rule Turned the
Scale in the Election.
Manchester, Oct. 19.—Mr. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, in a speech here
to-night denied that heme rule was the real
motive power in deciding the recent elec
tions. The Gladstonian successes, he de
clared, were due to the socialist agitation.
- he Irish tenants wanted home rule in order
to get power to appropriate somebody’s
property. Mr. Gladstone might not look
beyond home rule, but Mr. Labouchere and
others cared less for home rule than for
tocial spoliation. The Gladstonians were
trying to debauch the nation and destroy
the union. He could not believe that per
manent power would be secured to a party
'bat outraged the fundamental principles
upon which every civilized society rested.
A MAN BET ON FIRE BY NEGROES.
The Fiendish Work Dona in a Quarrel
in Alabama.
Mobile, Ala., Oct. 19.—A special to the
I’eyister, from Greenville, Ala., says:
Early this morning a quarrel between a
tmgro and a young white man named Rob
erts, connected with Burke’s Horse Show,
resulted in the negro pouring gasoline over
hnUsrts, another negro toudhing off the fluid
witti a lighted lamp, and in an instant Rob
erts was enveloped in flame. He ran wildly
up and down the main street of the town,
>ut there was no one awake, and he was
ideally roasted alive. When discovered

ALL-AMERIOAB TOURISTS.
The Farty Inspects Studebaker'a
Wagon Works at South Bend.
South Bend, Ind., O :t.l9.—The fifteenth
day cf the international American excur
sion saw the tourists at South Bend. Ind.,
and they were told that iu a little over a
fortnight they had seen something of the
people and industries of eleven states of
this uniou. The weather was delightful,
as in fact it has beeu almost without excep
tion since the train left Washington. Early
rising was again the order of the day, but
this was more easily accomplished than
usual, as last night had passed without a
banquet, and the weary delegates bad been
enabled to retire early to their comfortable
berths on the special train. Breakfast was
eaten in the dining-car, while the reception
committee awaited patiently at the station.
at the wagon works.
Soon after 8 o’clock, however, the entire
party was placed in carriages, and headed
by a tally-ho coach, bearing some of the
more adventurous young attaches, and to
the tooting of a trumpet and the blasts
of many steam whistles, the line of car
riages was driven to Messrs. Studebaker’s
carriage repository, where samples of its
products had been tastefully arranged.
Here an urbane showman told the party
just what the various exhibits were and
supplied them copiously with price lists aud
catalogues aud business cards. A visit was
paid to a large establishment where clover
hullers were being turned out in great,
numbers. The party was then escorted to
Delegate Studebaker’s wagon works,
where the delegates saw inprocess of the
manufacture the vehicles which bear his
name.
AT CHICAGO.
Chicago, Oct. 19. —The closing run of
the week’s journey, 105 miles, into Chicago
was ended at the Twenty-second street
depot at 9 o’clock to-night. All had dined
upon the train, and immediately upon
alighting took carriages, aud under the
escort of the First and Second regi
ments of this city were driven
to the Grand Pacific hotel, which
is to be the home of the party while in this
city. Though weary with" travel, the
southerners are never found too tired to
to discuss matters on and within which the
national congress was projecteJ. They are
excellent listeners and diplomats trained iu
state service, every one, but they are now
convinced that the United States has
no thought or purpose to overreach
them, and while over holding themselves
to diplomatic standards, they talk with the
frankness of men who feel themselves dis
cussing with friends important prospects
for mutual national advantage. Upon the
arrival at their hotel to-night Mayor
Croiger briefly and warmly welcomed them,
an equally brief response being made, ami
the party retired with avidity to rest.
There is not one of the travelers but that
anticipates the coming Sunday of absolute
rest with the greatest pleasure.
SOHARFRR ACQUITTED.
The Negroeß Excited but the Accused
Not Harmed.
Charleston, 8. C., Oct. 19.—Fred Scliar
fer. the white boy whose careless handling
of firearms came so uoar causing a race
war at Mount Pleasant in August last, was
to-day tried iu the Borkely court on the
charge of murder. In the woman’s dying
statement she said she never had
hard feelings with the accused,
but that he shot her intention
ally. This last statement was ruled out
by the court on motion of the counsel of the
accused, and the jury returned a verdict of
not guilty. There was some commotion
among the negroes in court on the announce
ment of the verdict, but Scharfer was
finally brought safely to the city.
what the evidence showb.
All the evidence showed that the shoot
ing was accidental, but there seems to be
no doubt that the boy was exceedingly
careless, not to say reckless, iu handling the
firearm, and public opinion is tiiat he
should be punished in some way. This esca
pade caused the calling out of two compa
nies of state troops, to protect him from the
incensed negroes of Mount Pleasant on the
day of the killing.
A MOONSHINER BAGGED.
He Waa the Patriarch of the Business
in His Section.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 19.—A special
to the American from Jackson, this state,
says: "Deputy United States Marshals
Bell and Collier arrived here this morning,
having in custody Bill Matton, the oldest
moonshiner in the southwestern part of
Kentucky. West Tennessee officers have
been searching for him for the past twenty
five years. He was captured on the Ten
nessee river while selling fish. In 1879 a
posse went out from Mayfield, Ky., to
capture Matton. He turned the tables,
routing the officers and capturing their
guns.”
LOVE MAY END A FEUD.
The Oppoßing Factions in Rowan
County United by a Marriage.
Cincinnati, 0., Oct. 19.—A Times-Star
special says that this morning at Pine

married Miss Grace Martin. The bride and
bridegroom respectively are sister and
brother of the leaders of the opposing fac
tions that for several years havo been indus

this morning the Protestant-Episcopal
House of deputies waa called to order by
the chairman.Dr. Dix of New York. There

Messages from the house of bishops and
regular reports of the standing committees
were then read.
The committee ou the state of the church
moved that a cheap form of prayer book
be authorized. The motion was adopted.
The committee on unfinished business
moved that a resolution be adopted that
the convention adjourn sino die Thursday,
Oct. 24. Immediate consideration was
asked, but, objection being made, the mo
tion was placed on the caie-dar.
The committoo on constitutional amend
ments recommended the passage of a reso
lution referred to them soma days ago
allowing a diocese to cede part of its terri
tory to the convention for missionary
jurisdic:ion. The resolution was placed on
the c deodar, but by a two-thirds vote was
removed from the calendar and taken up
for immediate consideration.
TO APPLY TO NEBRASKA.
Chancellor Woodworth of Nebraska, who
had brought the resolution before the con
vention, asked that its provisions be made
to apply to his state. His suggestion was
adopted, and then the committee resoiu'ion
was agreed to. The discussion on this sub
ject ran beyond the hour for the considera
tion of the order of the day.
A motion was made that tho rules tie sus -
pended to allow the house to vote on the
question of adjourning Thursday, Oct. 9-1.
The question was put without discussion
and carried unanimously. The house will,
therefore, adjourn on Thursday of next
week, at 12 o’clock noon. Tho closing cere
monies will take piace iu tho morning.
This leaves but three more full days for
the transaction of business.
liturgical revision.
The house resumed discussion of the
question of liturgical revision at 12 o’clock.
Mr. Hart moved that to save time, com
mute of the whole be abandoned, and that
the house proceed to vote on each question
finally. Much discussion followed, but the
resolution finally passed the house, though
slightly modified.
Dr. Hart then moved the adoption of tho
prayer for parson or persons ou journeys.
A motion was made to strike out the words
"grant him fruition of his just desires" and
carried. The prayer tnen read: “O,
everlasting God, we commend to thy
almighty protection thy servant for whom
we pniy. Defend him "from the dangers of
his journey; guard him from sickness and
all hiuderance and preserve his going out
and coming in and make him grateful for
all tay mercies, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen." A vote was taken by dio
ceses, and resulted: Clerical, yeas 39, nays
0, divided 10. Lay, yeas JO, nays 12, The
motion was declared carried.
THE SECOND ALTERATION.
Dr. Hart then moved that the house
adopt the second alteration passed by the
house of bishops, that there be inserted
before the collect for Ash Wednesday a
rubric providing that instead of the veuite
shall bo sung, or said, an anthem from the
selection of psalms for holy days, immedi
ately after the psalter. The motion was
lost.
Dr. Hart then moved the adoption of tho
third section, providing a rubric, etc., before
the offertory sentences on page 19 of the
book of liturgical revision. This motion
was lost.
The fourth amendment was then put
before the house, for the first offertorv
sentence, "Remember the wordsof our Lord
Jesus Christ how he said, ‘lt was m >re
blessed to give than to receive. ’ ” The
roll was called, and the vote stood: Clerical,
yeas 40, nays fl; divided 2. Lay, yeas 29,
nays 8; divided 2. The alteration was de
clared adopted.
THE FIFTH CHANGE REJECTED.
The fifth alteration for an additional
offe.tory sentence before “Thine O Lord is
greatness” was non-concurred in.
The sixth, “that it be provided that a
proper preface for Ascension day be used
until Whit Sunday met the same fate.
Dr. Hart then read the seventh amend
ment, that in prayer of consecration instead
of the words, “that he may dwell in thee
and thee in him,” be substituted, “that he
may dwell in us and we in him.” The vote
stood: Clerical, yeas, 42; nays, 5; divided,
3. Lay, yeas, 29; nays. 8; divided, 1, The
motion was declared carried.
THE LORD’S SUPPER.
The next, resolution was a great surprise
to a majority of the deputies, it having
passei tbo bishops on the evening preced
ing, and it was net believed that it would
be acted upon before Monday at least. The
change was in the oommunion service and
read thus: "There snail be no celebration
of the Lord's Supper except there be some
to commune w ith the priest." The proposed
rubric was defeated by the clerical vote, a
majority of the lay deputies being clearly
in favor of tha adoption of the change. The
balloting stood: Clerical,Jayes iXI, uaya :15,
divided 2. Lay, ayes 19, nays 13; divided
30.
A SHORT OFFICE FOR SUNDRY OCCASIONS.
The announcement was made that the
house of bishops had refused to confer with
tbe lower bouse in the adoption of a short
office for sundry occasions, which bad twice
passed the Utter body, ouoa as a committee
of the whole. Dr. Huntington immediately
moved for the appointment of s committee
of conference, which was granted. Toe
house of bUtiope also decided not to concur
in the proposed division of California, on
the ground that such division was opposed
by a majority of tho communicants in the
diocese Itself, and because there were not
sufficUut resources to support each in new

A BLOODY SHIRT CRY SILENCED.
The Government’s Assistance in the
North Carolina Celebration.
Washington, Oct. 19. Senator Ranson
of North Carolina has obtained the marine
baud from the war department and flags
and bunting from the navy department, to
be used in the centennial celebration at
Fayetteville of the ratification by North
Carolina of the federal constitution Nov.
21,1789. The fact that Jefferson Davis is
announced to be there ou his progress
through the south has stirred some repub
lican partisans to ask why tho marine
band and flags should have been promised
by the secretaries of the navy and war de
partments. In this connection attention is
ih awn to the fact that Secretary Tracy re
cently refused to permit the marine bind
to go to Philadelphia. Secretary Tracy
said to-day that the marine band was going
to Fayetteville because that was a state oe
oafion, aud had been refused to Philadel
phia because that was a private occasion.

molders in the city.

GERMANY AND THE CZAR.
FRJBNDLY EXPRESSIONS ELICITED
BY BISMARCK.
The Pan-Slavie:* Doing Their Beat to
Overcome the Good Effects of tho
Trip—The Czar’s Mortal Dread of Att-
Bassinatlon-Tbe Kaiser in Italy.
Corifrighted 1889 by the Sew York Associate J
Press
Berlin, Oct. 19.—The agreeable Im
pression left by tho czar’s visit still prevails
here, it is now definitely known that
Prince Bismarck’s persuasive presentations
succeeded in eliciting from the czar ex
pressious more friendly to himself aud to
Germany than the chancellor expected.
Before leaving for Friederichsruhe
Prince Bismarck received several
of tho leading diplomatic representatives,
and in conversation referred to the peace
ful inclinations of the czar. The czar, he
•aid, assured him that Russia would not
provoke war. and especially would never
begin war against Germany. The chancel -
1 r believes he succeeded in convincing the
czar that the triple alliance and German's
now relations with England in nowise
threaten Russia.
PAN-SLAVISTS EXCITED.
Advices from St. Petersburg refer to the
excited alarm of the pun-slavists, because
the czar has been again outwitted. Delhers,
whose position is threatened by growing
influence of Gen. Worouzoff-Dazchokif. is
reported as writing on the margin of the
report sent hiui regarding the Berlin inter
view, “this wants something, the name of
tho Russian diplomat who cleaned Prince
Bismarck's boots.” This remark is directly
pointed at Count Dazchokif, who remained
here several days after the czar left, und
had a long conference with either tile chan
eellor or Count Herbert Bismarck.
ANTI-GERMAN INFLUENCES STRONG.
The St. I’eter-burg corresDondent of tho
Coiogno Gazette predict* that oven if
Premier De Giers is forced to resign the
foreign uortfolio and is succeeded by Gen.
Woronzoff-Dazchokif, the czar will not
long resist the anti-German influences. His
suspicious nature and susceptibility to sug
gestions that he is being coze ied, render
him an easy instrument for the pan-salyist
nianipu lation.
Tne Moscow papers cautiously recall how
the delusions which the czar brought with
him from the Berlin visit of 1887 required
only time to dispel them.
IN DREAD OF ASSASSINATION.
The safe arrival of the imperial party at
Gatschina relieved the official mind here,
which could not help being affected by the
nervous anxieties pervading the czar’s
whole entourage. Even Count Kchouva
loff showed himself infected. This fear
caused largo sums to be uselesdy expended
at tho old schloss and palace at Potsdam for
s-curing the isolation of the czar, if ho
should stay at either. No precautions
seemed to satisfy tho Russian officials.
TH® EMBASSY FORTIFIED.
Count Schouvaicff fortified the Russian
embassy. Bix Russian] artisans especially
attached to the czar’s retinue examined
the walls, flooring and furniture of tho
embassy, and inserted grating bar* at the

were also stationed upon the roof appar
ently to prevent explosives being thrown
down the flues. Berlin secret police
assisted the Russian detectives a* far as the
frontier.
HIS ROUTE KEPT SECRET.
In accordance with the czar’s desire, tho
railway bridges at Neustadt, Dirschau and
Marienburg, and all the streets of Dantzio
were guarded by troops. Until the moment
tho esar left Dantzic even officials were not
allowed to know whether be would lioard
the imperial yacht Deriava or make the
journey by railroad. When tho train
started’ via the Dirschau line for the fron
tier, orders were telegraphed to put 50,00(j
Ruwian troops In motion to protect the

KILLED BY A PALLING WALL.
Sudden Death of Judge Guerry’e Two
Sons at Dawson.
Dawson, Ga., Oct. 19.—Late yesterday
afternoon a falling wall among the ruins of
the big fire of Thursday night killed a
colored boy and two sons of Judge J, H.
Guorry, aged 4 and 6 years. Other children
were injured.
The Constitution tells the story of the
breaking of the news to Judge Guorry, who
was in Atlanta, as follows):
One of the saddest scenes ever witnessed
in Atlanta occurred at the ‘Kimball house
last night. Judge James Guerry stood be
tween his two friends, President dußignon
and Solicitor General C. D. Hill. They
wore in a jovial mood. Life was bright
to all throe. To none of them more bright
at that mornout than to Judge Guerry. Ha
had lately bean raised to the judgeship by
au overwhelming majority of the Jegii
lature. He had warm and loyal friends,
and there was not on the horizon a cloud
the size of a man's hand. AU at once the
scene changed, and evorything was us black
us if the sky had turned to brass above him.
Mr. dußignon bod just bantered him with
a friendly jest when Judge Guerry was
bunded a telegram. Hu opened it calmly,
gianced at the contents, and in an instant
the strength and brightness of life was
gone. He almost sank to the floor. Mr.
dußignon read the telegram. It contained
these words; “Claude and Russell killed
by a falling wall. Come home.”
The poor broken-hearted father was ac
companied to his room by bis friends, and
tner-i be remained tor it long lime utterly
penetrate. The first thought was to get
Lome as qairkly as possible, hut it was soon
found that he onuld not hare before morn
big. Sympathy vainly tried, to perform its
poor office. It could and" not-mg. In a few
minutes the sad news went all through the
hotel and flew over the elty. Ail the legit
laturs know Judes Guerry He is a warm
hearted, mugne ii: man, who has a best of
literals, and the blow that ensiled him fell
with painful weight on Usssu aJL
