Wit ness and her sister returned to the house after 10 o’clock and were let in by James Minnehan. She and her sister Bat up reading for over an hour, and then went up stairs to O’Sullivan’s room for a cot. The light was burning in the room and O’Sullivan. and Moicahy were in bed. Witness spoke to the men and took the cot down stairs. She was positive that O’Sullivan was in the house when she left at half past 8, and also that he was in his room when she got back. The witness also testified as to the presence of the Hylands there on Sunday evening. O’Sullivan’s Boarding Mistress. Mrs. Tom Whalen was called and cor roborated the evidence of her sister as to the whereabouts of O’Sullivan on May 4 and 5. Mrs. Whalen further testified that she heard O’Sullivan previous to May 4 speak of his contract with Dr. Cronin at the supper table to the men. Witness said that on the day of the discovery of Cronin’s body Mr. Clancy, The New York Herald correspondent, came into the house and made some re mark about the discovery of Dr. Cron in’s body, and said: “I have a cab at the door and want you to go with me and identify the remains.” Mr. O’Sullivan said: “Why should I go with you? I don’t know who you are and never saw you before today. If a police officer comes and asks me to go I will go with him.” The cross examination of this witness was long and animated, but elicited nothing important. A Witness for Burke. The next witness was Matt Danahy, a saloon keeper at Clark street and Chicago avenue. On the night of May 4 he came on duty at 7 o’clock and relieved his barkeeper. Martin Burke, P. H. Nolan, financial secretary of Camp 20, and Patrick Cooney were in the saloon at the time. Martin Burke was in the saloon for about three hours, the wit ness said. William Coughlin and John O’Malley came into the saloon during that time and met Burke. On the cross examination the fact was developed that the witness was a member of Camp 20 and had known Burke for a year. The witness denied that he was out riding that night until 11:30, and ad mitted that he was supplying Burke's meals to him, and that he visited Win nipeg some time ago for the purpose of “looking around.” He denied that he had ever sent money to Burke at Win nipeg. Beggs Visited Harrison. Justice D. J. Lyon testified that on Feb. 20 he and the defendant, Beggs, went to Indianapolis to urge upon Presi dent Harrison the appointment of a friend of Beggs’ to the office of sub treasurer. They returned together Feb. 80. James Lyman, a member of Camp 20, testified to having been present at the meeting of Feb. 8; that Capt. O’Con nor declared the report of the Buffalo trial had been read in another camp; that a resolution was offered to appoint a secret committee to examine into the statement and that the whole matter was referred to the district officer. Walter Gibbon corroborated the testi mony of Lyman. The Inner -Circle. Hon. John Finnerty then took the Stand. He said he was once a member •of congress from the Second district of Illinois and at present the editor of an - American weekly paper with Irish sym pathies. He had been, he said, a mem ber of the United Brotherhood and of Camp 96—now known as Camp 20—since 1870 and was still. He had known the defendant Beggs for three years, but he bad never heard or known of an inner circle. Matthew P. Brady, a well known at torney. next testified to being a member of Clan-na-Gael Camp 96 since 18S5, but bad never heard of an inner circle. Jcfcn S. Mullen, for thirteen years an inspector of customs, said that he joined the United Brotherhood in 1878. He was a member of what was known as a Cronin camp; attended a national con vention as a delegate with Cronin sym pathies. He was at present senior guardian of Camp 298 and had never beard of an inner circle. He thought he.would know of such a circle if one existed. He said that at the conven tion of 18S8 an effort was made to keep the name of the executive body secret. M. J. Keane, a member of Camp 20, said that he, too, had never heard of an inner circle. U»eg»’ Alibi. | FranciR P. Gleason, a county con stable, testified to being present at a Republican ward meeting last spring. Among others present was the defend ant John F. Beggs, whom the witness introduced to his friends. Beggs and be were at the meeting from 8 o'clock until after 9 o’clock. “What night was that?” “May 4.” This was Beggs’ alibi. It was not for the purpose of showing that Baggs was Hot at the Carlson cottage on that night, With a passing “Rama, Rama” to friend or acquaintance, and a neighborly gossip by the way, he repairs to his place of business. While going he will sedulously avoid those signs and sounds which may augur ill for the day. Should one sneeze, or should he hear the cawing of a crow or the cry of a kite, or should he meet an oil man, or one blind or lame, or see a cat cross his path, he would be greatly distressed as to the day before him. On the other hand, if a fox crosses his path, if he hears a gong or shell summoning him to Vorahip, or if ho meets a Brah man with his head uncovered, he would rejoice, hailing it as auspicious. Some are so superstitious that if any evil por tent occurs on the way they return home, have a smoke or chew a betel leaf, and prooeed afresh.—Science. Engineering Feats. It is a remarkable fact that nothing surpasses in modern engineering the pyramids of Ghizeh, built more than 5,000 years ago. It is universally ac knowledged by the highest professional authorities in architecture and building that the masonry of the pyramids could not be surpassed in these days, and. moreover, is perfect for the purpose for which they were intended—above all, to I gave himself up to the police and there After the building of pyramids j is no doubt that it was he who caused assailant has remained shrouded in mystery. Flynn was discharged from Bellevue hospital on election day. having appar ently recovered; but ho grew worse again and died a week later. Maj. Joe Stewart’s Story. The mystery, it is reported, has at length been unraveled by a newspaper man, who explained the matter to the gentleman who wielded the umbreha, and secured from him his version of the affair and permission to publish the same. The gentleman is none other than Maj. Joe Stewart, the genial southerner who has gained considerable notoriety by reason of his efforts in be half of the Confederate Soldiers’ home at Austin, Tex. Maj. Stewart told, a United Press re porter that he struck with his umbrella on the night of Oct. 25 a man who had insulted his wife, who was with him at the time, but that he had no idea that he injured the man. Subsequent de velopments, however, made him think that possibly the man Flynn, who re cently died from the effects, as was claimed, of an umbrella stab, was the man he had chastised on that occasion. Siegfried H. May Accuses Himself. Later in the day it was learned that the man struck by Stewart could not have been Flynn. Siegfried H.

The man renewed the attack, however, and in self defense May struck him several times with an umbrella and finally struck him in the face with it.

The Desecration of Rome. In order not to wander too far from the main subject I will cite one item only of these annals of destruction. 1 will mention what happened - in the val ley of the Forum between 1540 and 1649. In less than ten years' time the men em ployed by the contractors of St. Peter’s to search for building materials crossed the valley of the Forum from end to end, like an appalling meteor, destroying, dis mantling, splitting into fragments, burn ing into lime, the temples, the arches, the basilicas most famous in Roman his tory, in the history of the Old World, together with the inscriptions which in dicated their former use or design, and the statues and bass-reliefs which orna mented them. In AMO the podium, steps and pediment of the temple of An ton in us and ^Faustina were removed to St. Peter’s or otherwise made use of. Between 1541 and 1545 the same fate be fell the triumphal arch raised in honor year-old son of a respectable optician, formerly residing in this city, but now of Alabama, was arrested on a charge of committing the thefts. He confessed, it is alleged, to having been involved in four robberies since last Saturday night, when he came to the city from New’ York. The McCarthy-Kelleber Fight. San Francisco, Nov. 22.—A fight to a finish between Professor Billy Mc Carthy, champion middle weight of Australia, and Denny Kelleher, of Bos ton, for a piuse of $1,800, took place List night at the rooms of the California Athletic club. Previous to the fight it was announced" that the club has de cided to offer a purse of §10,000 for a fight between Peter Jackson and John L. Sullivan. Kelleher was knocked out in the twenty-first round. Monssa Bey, the Knrdlsli Robber, Mur derer and Perpetrator of Many Other Crimes Will Soon Be Brought to Trial—• Germany Increasing Her Army—Other Foreign News. London, Nov. 21.—If the recent visit of Emperor William, of Germany, to Constantinople has been productive of no other result it lias certainly been the means of inducing the sultan to see to it that Moussa Bey, the Kurdish rob ber, murderer and perpetrator of every vile crime known to the region over which he lately terrorized, receives at least a portion of the unnishmeut he de serves, for he certainly could nob be adequately punished and yet live. Several times since the clamor of the continental press led the sultan to call Moussa to Constantinople ostensibly for trial for the offenses with which he is charged, it has been announced from the Turkish capital that the court hud decided that the case was properly un der the jurisdiction of the Albanian tribunals, that the prisoner had been incarcerated pending further investiga tion; that he had been acquitted and that this and that action had been taken, apparently for the purpose of courting public and official opinion abroad, and obviously with the intention of telling him go scot free if such a thingwere possible. It now appears that one of the points insisted upon by the kaiser while con- ferring.with the sultan was that Moussa should be placed upon trial as soon as possible, and if found guiity punished without delay. This the snltan prom ised to do, and the first step toward the fulfillment of the promise is the im- E visonmeat of the Ixurdi-h caitiff, who as unlil now been permitted to go whither he pleased, pending liis trial. Sstili. it will not do to rely too confl denth tm Mouesa's conviction of the graver crimes with which he is charged, for it will be remembered that the wit nesses who went from Albania to Con stantin <ple to testify against him, some twenty in number mysteriously disap peared en route or almost immediately after their arrival at their destination Some of them are believe ! to have been imprisoned on trumped up charger, others were intimidated to an extent forcing them to flee to places of refuge, beyond ihe Turkish borders, and still others are thought to have been mur dered. Whether any of them will be forth coming at- the trial only the authorities at Constantinople can say. The doubt' fill fide of these men before them it is not likely that other victims of Monssa’s b vitality can be induce l to journey to tho capital for the purpose of testifying against him, but it'is plain that the Ot toman government is now confronted with the necessity of indicting some punishment upon Moussa and doubtless he will be found guilty of a few minor offences and acquitted of the greater ones, bemuse of the lack of evidence to convict him. Germany Increasing Her Army. Berlin. Nov. 21.—The Budget com xnittee of the ieichstag has unanimously adopted a bill providing for the organi zation of two new army corps. The min ister of war explained that the internal needs of the army required the adoption of the measure which, he saui. w.vs en tirely unconnected with the new Frenoh army law. This moiifica’ioa of the army he declared might be regarded as a final one. one of the negro employes on the island. He was a government witness and his testimony revealed a plot to kill, and also the existence of a deplorable species of slav. i'r at Navaisa. He testified that the negroes held a meeting on the night of Sept. 13, at which it was determined to kill the boss33. The one man they were anxious to kill more than any other was James Mahon. At the governor’s yard next morning the men were marched in single file and asked if they were willing to work. James Phillipsreplied. “Yes. if properly _ _ treated.” Henry Jones, with pistol in I bar. which was furnkhZiit hand, at the order of Dr. Smith, the through the r _ * ’ *® 01 acting superintendent, proceeded to 1 “ take charge of Phillips.

A Groat Question Settled. At the high school, in the first class, an interesting debate was had on the subject, “Is the Mind of Woman Inferior to That of Man?” Andrew M. Bush, Jr., and Harry Macomber took the affirma tive side of the question and’ Miss Julia Hunt and Miss Edna Tobey the negative 6ide. The girls argued that the most temperance lecturers were men. To this the girls retorted that it was easier to talk than to work. The boys remarked that the average weight of man’s brain was greater than that of woman’s. “A fool’s brain weighs more than a wise man’s” was the answer of the girls. “But wo said the average weight,” replied the boys. A girl said: “I think quality should be considered rather than quan tity.” The, clincher came when one of the boys arose and said: “As I under stand it, God is a man, and if the mind of woman is superior to man God would have been a woman.” At this climax a vote waa taken and favored the affirma tive side.—New Bedford Standard. Opposition to a Female Clerk. Quebec, Nov. 22.—The federal author ities have been compelled to remove Miss Maybee from the postoffice here to Ottawa, owing to the opposition of the French Ultramontane press. It is fran tic at the idea that a young English girl, in every way competent to perform the duties of typewriter to the local post master, should be appointed to the posi tion.
