After the introduction of additional medical testimony in the Cronin trial yes terday the prosecution put Liveryman Dinan on the stand. He told of Detective Conghlin hiring the white horse which car ried the Doctor to his death, and of his afterward enjoining silence upon the sub ject. The defense was unable to shake his story in the least upon cross-examination. A ruling by Judge McConnell caused quite a sensation, and was finally reversed, rsrsciAi. miCBiir to tux sisrATcn. Chicago, October 26. It was again cold and dismal around the Criminal Court building when the Cronin case was resumed this morning. Bain splashed against the windows and the day grew so dark that the electric lights -were lighted. Npthwitstand ing the storm a large crowd besieged the entrance and bawled for admission. Men and women were banked along the brick wall and received the pelting the ram cave them without any evidence of discomfort. When the prisoners,led by ex-Senior War den Beggs. tramped into the room from the slippery bridge of sighs, every seat re served for spectators was occupied. Many women, whose bonnets and wraps had been disarranged by the storm, were on the long black benches. Among them the silly girl who has been carrying on a flirtation with Kunze and Burke. She smiled at all the prisoners as they marched in single file to their chairs. EEATUBE OF THE DAT. Court was in session just two hours and a half. In that time the prosecutors intro duced two rare witnesses, and successfully combatted a remarkable ruling by Judge McConnell. They did not attempt to pre sent any additional evidence as to the identity of the body found in the. catch basin on the Eranston road or to strengthen their almost invulnerable proof that the corpse was not injured in its removal from the basin to the Sheffield avenue police station. They did, however, continue their inquiry ss to the cause of Dr. Cronin's death, and succeeded in substantiating all the sensa tional and vital points made by Surgeon Perkins, who removed the viscera and the top of the skull of the body at the autopsy. The new witness was Dr. D. G. Moore, who witnessed and assisted in the dissection. His presence in the witness chair was clearly a surprise to the lawyers for the de fense. Dr. Moore did not testify at the coroner's inquest or before the grand jury, and he made no deposition in the extradi tion of Burke. OBJECTED TO BY THE DEFENSE. Mr. Forrest, drawing these admissions from the witness, objected to his giving testimony, but the Court promptly over ruled the objection, and the doctor began his ghastly story of the appearance of the wounds and the condition of the viscera. These cashes the witness was convinced were necessarily mortal. Death had come Irom concussion or contusion of the brain, and not from a hemorrhage caused by the severing of the facial and occipital arteries. These blood vessels, the autopsy showed, were cut, as they had retracted and could not be found. "While a strong man could bleed to death from the severing of these arteries dissolu tion would not be speedy, as these vessels are small. Death had doubtless come from the shock the brain received and while the hemorrhage was yet in progress. A thor ough examination of the viscera showed no signs of ante mortem degeneration; this was another proof that the doctor had died from violence. The brain, however, was gone. A JfETT PBOPOSITION. Cross-examiner Forrest, with his grim face wrinkled in a smile, asked if there were not some grounds for believing that Dr. Cronin died suddenly of acute brain trouble. This was a new move by the de fense. The witness declared that the healthy condition of the viscera was in itself a con- vincing refutation of such an assertion. ? Then Mr. Forrest suggested the possibility of sudden death from chronic brain trouble, and asked, if such was the fact, whether the surgeons who conducted the autopsy could determine it by the appearance of the brain. As there had been no brain to examine, Dr. Moore was unable to combat this strange theory. The witness was satisfied from the contused condition of the wounds that they had been inflicted before death. In his opinion it was impossible to have any , contusion about a scalp wound made after death. 'Mr. Forrest, still looking for a cudgel with which to break the damaging testimony of the surgeon, was rewarded a moment later by drawing from the witness theadmusion that he had but a few hours before- read the newspaper reports of Dr. Egbert's testimony of the previous day. SOMETHING OF A SENSATION. Then Mr. Forrest created a sensation by moving that Burgeon Moore's entire testi mony be stricken from the record. Judge McConnell, to the amazement of nearly everybody in the room, sustained the mo tion. A dramafcc scene foil wed and sup pressed exclamations of surprise burst from the audience. Mr. Forrest, with a tri umphant aaile, walked hurriedly past his associates and s-ipped a glass of water. For an instant the publio prosecutors were dnmfounded. -Mr. Hynes was the first to combat the 'ruling. His face was crimson with passion-as he drew his massive form above the table at which he was sitting and ina loud voice declared that if such an unprecedented ruling were observed the trial might just as well stop. there, and then, raising his arms so that his clenched fists were on a level with the bar of the court, Mr, Hynes chal lenged Judge McConnell to show authori ties to sustain such a ruling. The big lawyer was Luther Laffiin Mills, pale with excitement. The index finger of his right hand was shaking nervously at the Court. ALL ON TKEIE FEET. Almost before Mr. Hynes had finished his thundering attack, the clear, resonant voice of Mr. Mills arose above the noise of the street and the mumbling of the spectators. He too declared that it was time to stop the case if the testimony of the rest of the State's witnesses was to be excluded for the reason that they had read the testimony of witnesses who had preceded them on the stand. State's Attorney Longenecker .nervously watched the fight being waged by Jus asso ciates. Hurrying down the center aisle were Mr. Ingham and Mr. Scanlan, who were on their way to the State's Attorney's office for authorities. Judge McConnell sat in his chair with his head in his hands. Before him were Mr. Hynes and Mr.'Mills, the first red and violent in attack, the other almost startling in his pallor. The prisoners leaned forward and watched the struggle with intense interest. The prosecutors had scarcely resumed their seats to watch the effect of their first volley when Mr. Forrest arose and intimated that Dr. Moore had been called at the eleventh hour to patch up the holes in the testimony of Assistant County Physician Egbert. This was a taunt that brought Mr. Hynes and Mr. Mills to their feet and called forth a censure irom the court. THE FKOSECUTIOlfWINS. Judge McConnell, speaking in a low voice, then said that if such a ruling was enforced in its spirit there would be no rea son for continuing the case, bnt he did not contemplate such a course. Mr. Hynes, seeing that the Court was retreating, now leaped to his feet and with a burst of rhetoric that came very near provoking ap plause in the benches of the spectators declared that with such a ruling as that de livered from the Bench tne testimony of honorable men who would appear for the State and who could not be influenced by newspaper reports "would be excluded, while the testimony of perjurers who would swear that they had not read the newspaper ac counts of the trial would go on record. As the big lawyer sat down, Mr. Ingham and Mr. Scanlan returned with law books piled high upon their arms. But the battle was now over and the vrosecution had won. With much deliberation and a gratuitous encomium on the press for its enterprise and influence, Judge McConnell reversed his previous decision and ruled that the testi mony of witnesses who had read the news paper reports of the testimony of other wit nesses was competent, and that it must be admitted. Mr. Forrest thereupon took an exception to the admission of Dr. Moore's evidence CONCERNING ME. COTJGHLIN, After this sensation was over the prosecu tion made a sudden shift irom the finding of the body and the autopsy to the events of May 4, the day on which Dr. Cronin was murdered, introducing Patrick Dinan, the livery man who rented a rig to Conghlin's mysterious friend on the fatal night. The story of the witness was- intensely interest ing, and had a noticeable effect oji.Coughlin, who moved nneasilyiirhisieai. ' ' Dinan had known Conghlin for five years. On May 4 the detective came to the stable and engaged a rig for a friend who was to call for it at 7 o'clock that evening. At that hour a young man, who was closely muffled iu a faded overcoat and who wore a soft hat, the rim of which was turned down so as to conceal the eyes of its owner, called at the stable and asked for a rig which Couchlin had engaged. The stranger's trousers were frayed at the bottom, his boots were muddy and his mus tache was dark at the roots, but sandy at the edges. He also had about a week's growth of beard on his face. Dinan called for an old white horse for the stranger and the beast was harnessed to a buggy which had a White chapel body. NOT EfcjLTi SATISFIED. The stranger fonnd faul with the rig, and suggested that he be given a chestnut horse which stood harnessed in the stable. But Dinan refused to make the change. The stranger was also opposed to the buggy assigned to him because it had no side cur tains. Dinan said the night was dark, and with the top up his customer could easily escape recognition from the street if he so desired. The strange man drove out of the barn at 7:10 o'clock. He went directly north and in the direction of Dr. Cronin's home. Dinaa watched the horse pass Chestnu; street, and saw that he was working in -good form. That was the last he saw of the rig until the next day. Two days after the dis appearance of Dr. Cronin, Dinan went to the Fast Chicago avenue police station to see Captain Schaack about a visit he had received from a policeman, who had asked him if he had had a white horse out on the night of the murder. There he met Coughlin. who, noticing the liveryman's excitement, asked him what kind'ofahorse he had given his friend. Dinan replied that the animal was white. Then Coughlin, becoming nervous, request ed Dinan to keep quiet about the transac tion, as he and Dr. Cronin were not good friends and an exposure of the deal. might cause him trouble. STEONG EVIDENCE. Dinan, however, being determined to clear up the mystery made a full report of the hiring of the rig to Captain Schaack. The next time Dinan met Coughlin the latter said he had just seen his friend, who was on his way to a railroad station to take a train for New Mexico. Mr. Forrest made repeated efforts to have the conver sation between Dinan and the stranger at the barn stricken from the record, but the Court overruled all of his motions. The third time Dinan met Coughlin was soon after Mrs. Conklin's failure to identify the old white horse as the animal that carried the Doctor to bis-doom. Both had heard of the incident and Coughlin being exuberant, exclaimed, "I'd hate to trust you with any thing. You are a clear case ot a weakener." Mn Forrest, in his cross-examination of the witness, resorted to many subterfuges to entrap him, but Dinan being blessed with a remarkable memory, could not be shaken. The case will be resumed at 10 o'clock Monday morning. A GIRL AND A BOOTBLACK Moke Matters Rather Lively for an India crert Telegraph Operator. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO Till DISPATCH.! Washington, Pa., October 26. A young man named Cargo, a telegraph op erator in the Western Union office at Pitts burg, but who for the past few weeks has been temporarily engaged in the Western Union office here, was knocked down last night and rendered senseless for a time by Miss Amanda Elder, an employe of the Opera House restaurant, adjoining the tele graph office, whi.m she alleges, he had in sulted and assaulted. She gave bail for court. Nelson Grav, a bootblack, who held Cargo while Miss Elder thrashed him, was arrested, and, being unable to furnish bail, was sent to jail. IBOUBLES IN SAMOA. Advices Which Confirm the Report That a Battle lias Been Bong-lit Ceremo nies Attending- the Elec tion of a King. " San Feancisco, October 26. The steam ship Mariposa, arrived from Australia to day, touching at New Zealand, the Samoan Islands and Honolulu en route. She brings no advices from Samoa tending to confirm the statement that a battle had occurred be tween th'e natives, as reported by cable. The fighting, if any, took place after the steamship had passed the islands. The various districts In Samoa held ameet ing October 2 for "the purpose of electing a King to govern the islands pending ratifi cation by the representative powers of the report of the Berlin conference. The meet ing was attended ly representatives of nearly all the districts, and about 2,000 per sons were present Mataafa was elected King. The old Kins. Malietoa, who was recently brought back from the Marshall Islands, was pres ent and was in a very feeble condition. He addressed the people and thanked Mataafa for all he had done for the Samoans during his own banishment. He closed his speech by saying: "We all have full faith in Mataafa, and under his guidance you will now become prosperous people and permanent peace will be secured to Samoa. I. now relirein favor of Mataafa. Germany has only tried to frighten us. It is now more than ever our duty to support our new Government Some excitement exists on account of fears of impending trouble on the island of Sa vaii, some of Tamasese's followers having been giving trouble there. The latest in formation is that they attacked and injured the chief belonging to Mataafa's party. When this news was received, Mataafa sent word to his. people at the place where the trouble occurred, to demand that the guilty parties be'delivered to them. The excite ment has been increased here by the fact that 100 of Mataafa's followers are- now leaving Apia for Savaii, where thev will be joined by others, and their intention is to burn the house of Tamasese's men. If the parties who attacked the chief are not given up peaceably, it is not improbable that the expedition may result in an open conflict. WHY JULIAN WAS BE1I0YED. The Usual Consequence of a Change of Ad ministration. ISrECIAL TSLEGBAX TO TOE DISPATCH.! Indianapolis, October 26. George Ww Julian, who was removed from the office of Surveyor General of New Mexico, by Gen eral 'Harrison, makes a public statement of the circumstances of his removal, in which he says the courtesy shown General Manson was not tendered him. His term of office did not expire until January, 1891. When the notice of his removal came, he addressed a note to Hon. William Stone, of the Land Office, at Washington, asking what charges, if any, were on file against him. General Stone said that he understood that Mr. Julian had been removed partly for political- and partlj for personal reasons. In conclusion he said: "I don't know any sufficient reason for your removal other than those usually existing in a change of ad ministration, to the consequence of which yon, as well of others, must expect to yield." Mr. Julian says there was little in New Mexico to make life attractive, although he took an interest in his work and was, he be lieved, saving the Government a good deal of money by keeping the timber and land thieves cowed. As soon as he left the office they began to swarm around again as if they carried Government commissions. v- ,PAI1KG OUT'THE FUND. The Methods by Which the Reller Contrlbn. tlons Are Distributed. tSPICIAL TZLEGEAU TO THZ DISPATCH.1 Johnstown, October 26. The body of a woman was recovered this evening in the Stony Creek river. The fund for the pur pose of continuing the search is still grow ing, hundreds of dollars being received every day. One hundred and thirty-one bodies have been lifted in Grand View Cem etery and reinterred this week, but owing to their bad condition less than a dozen were identified. Next week they will begin in the Prospect Hill Cemetery, and as a great many of the bodies here were embalmed, it is thought many of them will be identified. About 100 checks were put out by Kre mer's clerks to-day, Mr. Kremer having gone to Harrisburg. The payments are now being made to those who lost less than $2,000. These will be fully two-thirds of the whole number of cases, but it will only take about 530,000 to pay them in the manner it is now being done. There will therefore be about $1,200,000 remaining for those whose losses were over 52,000, and thus it is clearly seen that the larger part of this great charity fund 'will yet go to the comparatively wealthy in stead of the podr, as most of those who lost over $2,000 are those who own real estate or have other assets. IT WILL BE INVESTIGATED. An Insane Asylam Patient Dies Under Some what Peculiar Circumstances. Chicago, October 26. A. E. Charve neaux, an old Frenchman who has for the past several years been an inmate of the Jeffersonville Asylum) died yesterday at that institution. The certificate of Dr. Bentley, an assistant physician at the asylum, states that the deceased came to his death from exhaustion and acute mania. There is no reference to certain wounds on the face and neck of the dead man. Irs. Charveneaux, wife of the deceased, on viewing the body, demanded that a post mortem examination be held, and in ac cordance with her wishes the undertaker notified the Coroner. The body was brought in from the asvlum this morning on a St. Panl train and was taken to the morgue. There are several bruises or contusions on the head and face, but they have not the ap pearance of being serious enough to cause death. TRAIN WEECKEE8 CAPIDSED. The Peculiar Manner- In Which Two of Them Were Caught. tBoCRESTEB, Ind., October 26. Near this place, where the Lake Erie and West ern Bailway track crosses the Chicago and Atlantic, the company is replacing a wooden structure with an iron bridge and the bridge builders are putting in temporary trestle work. Last night at a late hour, residents were awakened by cries for help, and upon going to the trestlework, found one man trying to lift- a heavy timber which had fallen upon his comrade. Investigation showed that they had tried to remove one of the supporters, and in this manner the fallen man had been pinned down. The uninjured man was recognized as a party recently serving a term for train wrecking, and it is believed that they had in view the wrecking of one of the" pas senger trains which would have been due at that point in a short time. Both were ar rested. A New Crnlser Successfully Launched. San Feancisco, October 26. The' new cruiser San Francisco was successfully launched to-'dayat the shipyard of theUnion Iron Works, in this city, in the presence of a large crowd of people.

SUNDAY, THE BATTLE EAGING. A Fierce Struggle in the Closing Days of the Ohio Campaign. ANYTHING TO DEFEAT F0EAKEE Is the Democratic Cry. but Bepublicans Peel Sure of Victory. "FOSTER CLAIMING THE LEGISLATUEE. Hamilton County Bay Send a Dlilaea Delegation to ths State House. The Ohio Democrats are making a de termined effort to defeat Governor Foraker, and it is estimated that he will run behind the rest of the ticket. His election is confi dently claimed, however, by 10,000 ma jority. The registration lists closed at 9 o'clock last evening throughout the State. It is possible that the Legislature may be split, the Bepublicans having the House and the Democrats the Senate. rSFECtAI. TKZJCQBAM TO THS DISPATCH.) Columbds, October 26. The registration in the cities of the State was completed at 9' o'clock' to-night and the total figures will furnish a basis' for an estimate of the sub stantial results of the election. While these estimates are liable to deceive and be con siderably warped by the results in the rural districts, yet it. is generally conceded that the countrymen do not change very much when a State election follows a heated cam paign. Much accuracy can be placed -upon the registration figures in the cities when the whole ticket is considered, but when an ex ception is made and a special fight waged, as it has been, against Governor Foraker, the vote is liable to disfigure the registra tion considerably so far as the head of the ticket is concerned. In many respects the registration in Columbus is a disappoint ment, and especially so to the Bepublicans, although there can be no definite results given before Monday., A LITTLE COMPABISON. The total registration the first three days last fall was 17,"791. The decrease yester day, however, counterbalanced the increase in registration the two preceding days, the estimated total being 17,496. This is 295 less than the total for three days last fall. The total registered vote last year was 20, 225. It is probable that the total registra tion this year will fall from 500 to 1,000 be low last year, though there are some confi dent the results will be about even. There were 2,431 voters registered the fourth day last year, and it is hardly prob able this number will be reached to-day. A glance at several of the sheets an hour or more before the registration closed indi cated that the total for to-day would fall far short of that of the fourth and last day last year. There is a possibility, however, it.will go even. Owing to a heated local contest the Democrats have secured the best of the registration in Columbus. They have done more work and in a more systematic manner. FIGHTING FORAKF.lt. There is a strong feeling here against Governor Foraker, .owing to the fact (bat he has had the opposition of several promi nent Bepublicans, who have been working openly against him, and have found news paper space for their expressions, The Democrats do- not pretend Jo deny Jbe fapl, 'tottteytfflrKein'ttn-a'eir- energies against Governor Foraker, and are trying to save Campbell above everything else. At Bepublican headquarters they also recognize that this is the sitnation, and have taken steps to bring the head of the ticket to the front as much as possible. The Democratic Committee has a sub-committee in each precinct of the State, which will give special attention to the head ot the ticket during the next week and to the closing of the polls, but the Be publicans have taken steps to meet this on slaught. Some of Foraker's strongest friends have come to his rescue, and he will not be de feated for want of working material from now until election day. LEGISLATIVE CLAIMS. There appears to be no dispute as to the point that the republicans will carry the Legislature, regardless of the way which Hamilton county goes. It is believed that the Bepublicans will have a majority in both branches. Ex-Governor Foster, who is giving special attention to the Legisla tive tickets, is sanguine that there will be a large Bepublican majority in the Legis lature, and he places Foraker's plurality from 10,000 to 15,000. Taking the worst view of the case, he does not think the plu rality can fall below the former figures. The Democrats are about to get some as sistance from the Liquor League, which is strongest at Cleveland, bnt it is not thought they can control the brewers and dealers to a serious extent BEHIND THE TICKET.

Cincinnati, October 26.To-day ended the opportunity for registering in Cincin nati. Up to yesterday there had been a decided falling oft as cpmpared with last year. Yesterday there was a slight pull up which was further increased to-day. The outlook in Ohio to-night from a conservative standpoint, based on returns from over 40 counties and on interviews with well-posted men on both sides, is for a Bepublican vic tory. Foraker. from all indications, will ,run considerably behind his ticket, some say as much as 8,000 in the State. The Legislative delegation-from Hamil ton county "will be divided. A reasonable prediction at this hour is that the delega tion will stand nine Bepublicans and four Democrats, as against 14 Bepublicans now, the county having one less Senator, this year. In the State at large the Bepublicans have made unusually wise selections for the lower House, and that branch of the Legis lature will be safely Bepublican without Hamilton county. The Senate will be close. There is a possibilityjthatjit will bo Demo cratic by one or two. Good judges place Foraker's majority in the State at 8,000 to 10,000, and for the balance of the State ticket 10,000 to 15,000. This, Hamilton, county may reverse its majority of 4,000 two years ago fcr For aker and give Campbell a slight majority, owing to local causes and the determination ofthesaloonists to get revenge for what thev term oppressive legislation. Few Be puh'licans admit, however, that Foraker will lose the county, and at Bepublican. headquarters to-night 2,000 majority is claimed for him. At Democratic head quarters 1,200 to 1,500 is claimed for Camp bell. They also claim the entire Legisla tive ticket, except possibly three candi dates. At this hour (midnight) three-fourths of the city has been heard from. The returns so far indicate that the total registration will be about 10 per cent, or some jG,000 short of last year. The principal shortages are in Bepublican wards and precincts. Democrats are more hopeful since this result is known, 'and Be jmulicans; find comfort in the assertion,- of. OCTOBER 27, 1889. labor leaders that their party is secretly but strongly organized, and will vote the Bo- fnblican ticket largely. As near as can now e figured the total registration runs close to 60,000. . SUBE OF Y10T0BY. Too Republicans of Northeastern7 Ohio Very Confident of Success The Legisla tive Contest and Senatorial Prospects Considered. rSFXCIAL TXLIOKAX TO TBS DIBPATCIM Cleveland, October 26. Begistration in. this city closed to-night at 9 o'clock, and it is estimated that the total number of voters will be between 35,000 and 36,000. The registration for 1887 for the election of geretary of State was 32,475, and Jn 1888 for the .Presidental contest reached the high water mark of 42,876. The citizns qualified to vote this year are therefore 7,000 less than in 1888. This falling off is due to the natural decline of interest after a Pres i'dental election, and the very general feel ing among Bepublicans that the re-election of Governor Foraker is assured. The Gubernatorial campaignhasbeen con ducted with vigor thronghout Northeastern Ohio and there is no doubt that these coun ties will all return handsome majorities for the present Governor. The legislative ticket in this city is particularly strong on the Bepublican side, and will undoubtedly be elected. Northeastern Ohio will send a solid Bepublican delegation to the legisla ture.; Especial interest centers on the leg islative ticket because a successor to Senator Payne is to be chosen. Major yfilliam 3IcKinley, Jr., and ex Governbr Charles Foster. are both Northern Ohio men, and the former is a-possible and the latter an avowed candidate for the United States Senate. The strong backing they" will gel from this section of the State will be an important factor in deciding the contest The Cuyahoga county Bepublican ticket, with the possible exception .of Coroner F. W. Walz, who seeks re-election, will be carried by a comfortable majority. A LIGHT TOTE THEEE. Tho Registration In Northwestern Ohio Not Up to Last Year. rSPIClAL TELEOKA1I TO TUX DISPATCH-l Toledo, October 26. The last day of general registration of eleotors closed at 9 o'clock to-night Beturns indicate that the total registration for the city of Toledo will be about 12,800, about 1,700 short of the number of votes cast at the last Presidental election. Bach party made strenuous ef forts to get out a full registration, and-poli-ticians are slightly disappointed at the shortage. It is' believed that Democrats will suffer more than Bepublicans by the falling off. More interest is felt in legis lative than Gubernatorial fight Messrs. Griffin and JMesser, present representatives, both Bepublican, will probably be re turned, although Mr. Griffin's chances are regarded a little uncertain. The Senatorial fight in the district is ex tremely uncertain, both "parties confidently predicting success, but 'the most conserva tive on each side say that the district will send one Democrat and one Bepublican in place of two Bepublicans. The presence of Mr. Campbell, Democratic candidate for Governor, here three days ago and his rous ing speech, has'put a little more life in the Gubernatorial fight, STILL HOLDING THE F0BCE.

The man suspected of being Tascott, had a prelim inary hearing before a committing magis trate this afternoon on the charge ot forgery. He gave his name as Albert Sutherland and his residence as Chicago, which city he said he left last January. When asked what he did for a living he coolly replied: "I steal." Upon Chief Woods' statement that the man might be wanted on a more serious charge, the Magistrate held him in $20,000 bail. The Chief had another long talk with tha orisoner this afternoon, and iound out that he knew all about Tascott, being fully con versant with all the facts connected with that notorious person. He declares that he will not go to Chicago if he can help it. THE CAUCASIANS AHEAD. Colored Voters Do Not Show Up Well in the Virginia Begistration. Eichmond, October 26. This was general registration day throughout the State and rain has been somewhat general, and as a consequence the voters of the State at large did not turn ont as generally as they would have done had the weather been clear. Beturns from this city and contiguous counties show that the whites have gained about 2,000 over the colored in the registered vote. TBIED TO K0B A BANK.

Such rumors proved to be false, but there is a good story behind them, in which the champion figured. There was a murderous cutting affray, but Sullivan, for once, was npt in it He was taking it easy in a barber shop, while Tommy Kelly and another fighter were doing the carving. Ever since the Kerrigin-Wallace fight, Thursday night, Sullivan has been on a racket, and he had a good;sized jag on to night. All day the big fellow and -Tommy Kelly, a fighter of less renown, Tom Keefe, alias Shea, who has jusf-finished a term of three years for highway; robbery, and John Byan, a Cambridge sport, had been paint ing the i town, visiting barroom after bar room and drinking at every place. past op a plot. There are ugly rumors about to the effect that this was a part of the plot to get Sulli van drunk, provoke him into making an assault, and then shoot him. Bnmbr has it that Shea was angered by Sullivan's ac tions at the Thursday night fight, and as soon as he got drunk he laid for the big fel low with a gun. He was not so drank, though, that lie didn'i have a wholesome respect for the law, and if such was his in tention he played his cards welL Bnt Sullivan would not get -mad. Shea insulted him in a most outrageous and un provoked manner, and kep't at it so persist ently as to give some color to the story of a plot to kill Sullivan. He wanted Sullivan to make the first assault, knowing that pub lic opinion would secure his acquittal on the ground of self-defense. Sullivan's phenomenal streak of good temper perhaps saved his life. He listened good-naturedly to Shea's talk, and, seeing the horrified look on the faces of all those present, he played the magnanimous dodge to perfection, fiULLIVAir TAKES A NAP. The quartet made a round of the saloons, and at 6 o'clock brought up at Billy Hag gerty's barber shop. Haggertyis a candi date for the lower branch of the Legis lature, and Sullivan is his right bower. It was not a very clean-looking feet of men who filed into the. barber shop in Sullivan's wake, but all anticipated" a.' .general overhauling by, hands that had be come adept in the art of redncine 1 swelled btids. There were two vacanti chairs. Sullivan made a bee-line for one,., and stretched out for a nap, while the barber dashed on the lather and scraped the iron jaw of the big fighter. Byan was the other lucky man in the party, and he surrendered himself for similar treatment- Kelly was I "next," and Shea was fourth on the hat ohea did not seem to mind tne delay in fact, he seemed glad of the chance to use his' tongue more freely, and he walked up to the dozing champion and "roasted" him even more savagely than before. SULLIVAN BECAME IMPATIENT under the tongue-lashing, and rising in his chair, with face covered with lather he turned on the ex-convict "Oh, go to , you . I don't want Anything to do with you. Go talk to Kelly; he's doing nothing. Go away from here, anyhow. I won't have you round; yon just shnt up." Shea thought discretion was the better part of valor, and turned his attention to the ex-pugihsi Kelly cleverly disguises bis 60 odd years by dyeing his mustache, and plays the role of a young sport He had the reputation in his day of being the gamest light-weight in the ring, but he also has the reputation of being a bad man. That means that he is a -bad man to tackle when his dan der is up, owing to his weak ness for using the knife. To-night he had reached the ugly stage of his drunk, and was in no frame of mind to stand chaff ing of any sort He was sitting in a chair, tilted back against the wall, waiting for the welcome call, "next" Shea called the bootblack and sat down for a polish, but his tongue kept on wagging, and in a few min utes he had Kelly furious. He was too drank to know his danger. A BAZOB USED. Kelly .did not say anything,but he jumped to one of the barbers, snatched the razor from his hand, made a lunge at Shea and slashed him under the left side of the jaw, making a gash three inches long. It was deep, too, but escaped the big vein and artery. Sullivan was asleep and didn'i know what was going on nntil he heard a fight in progress behind him. Byan saw Kelly swing the razor, and jumped from his chair to save Shea, but he was too late. He saw the blood fly, and then, opening the door he kicked Kelly out into the street. He disappeared in the darkness. Shea was seen to be seriously wounded, and Dr. McDonald was called to stop the flow of blood. Sullivan inquired as to the cause of the row, and then he, too, walked out of the barber shop. The police noticed the confusion within, and when they saw the bleeding man and heard that Sullivan had cleared out, they jumped at the con clusion that he had done the cutting. Then there was a hue and cry for the arrest of the champion, and thus were started rumors that he had descended to the cntthroat business. SULLY NOT DISTUEBED. Shea was carried to the hospital and was booked as a fatally wounded man. Later in the evening, however, it was thought that he stood a good chance to recover, Byan and three other witnesses were ar rested, and then the police sought for the assailant By that time they had learned that Sullivan was not the man they wanted, and he was allowed to remain in obscurity. Kelly went directly from Haggerty's bar ber shop, where he had used the razor, to Councilman Billy Mahoney's saloon, on La Grange street He called Mahoney and Joe Lannon, the South Boston heavy-weight, aside, told them what he had done, and asked their advice whether to skip or sur render. Mahoney did not hesitate a mo ment, but called a carriage, put Kelly Into it, and told him to give himself up to the police. Then he told Lannon to get into the carriage and see that he didn't run away. STJBPEISED THE CAPTAIN. Captain White, of division 5, in which the slashing was done, was somewhat 'sur prised to see Kelly walk into the office, and although he admitted using the razor, Captain White sent him to the hospital, to be identified by the supposed dying man, Thera was another, setae at the hospital. vHHmskv sVask. Shea identified KM-r as. his assailant. Kelly retorted: "Well, if I hadn't done you'd have licked me." "Ill lick vou now. you," exclaimed Shea, rising in the ped. "You , you can't lick any body," yelled Kelly, getting excited. Shea accepted the challenge, in spite of his seri ous condition, and, jumping from the bed, he struct at Kelfv, who squared off for action. But the police squelched any fur ther hostilities by hustling Kelly out of the room. He is held to await the result of Shea's injuries. The entire party, Sullivan included, will appear in court Monday. STILL MOBE SEBIOUS. Tha Explosion at Franklin Caused by Great Carelessness Eighteen Children Bfors or Less Injured Criminal Pro- ceedlngs Threatened. rsrxcuz, tilxorak to ths uisrATCH.1 Feanklin, October 26. The explosion at the Galloway school house yesterday, by which 18 school children were terribly in jured, is having more serious results than was expected last night, and the in vestigation shows it was the re sult of criminal carelessness on the part of two young men. These men filled a niece of gas pipe with giant powder, and being afraid to explode it themselves, handed it to a boy named Connor, aged 11 years, telling him to build a fire and ex plode it Connor wanted to see if 'it was really loaded, and began to open it with a knife when the explosion occurred. A't the time there were 30 little children standing around and the' scene after the ex plosion was terrible- The children were thrown to the ground, and 18 of them were terribly hurt John Fitzgerald, aged 14, had his right arm blown on and his face badly cut. The arm has been amputated and he is now lying at death's .door. Gil bert Rogers had his right eye blown ont,and his face terribly cut, and is otherwise' badly hurt. His case is critical. The following children had their faces filled with powder, and sustained severe cuts about the body, but -will recover: Laban Connor, John and David Patterson, James Fitzgerald, Will Hudson, Earl Mawhinney, 'Vernon Bow man, Harry Snyder, Fred Turner and Archie Davis. A number of others were slightly hurt. The wounded were taken to the school house, and physicians from this city were soon in attendance, and dressed their wounds. It is feared that several of the above will lose their eyesight It was sev eral hours before it was known how the accident occurred, and the indignation against the parties who had given the bomb to the children was very great, and a search was made for them, but they had made their escape, or they would have been roughly handled. Criminal proceedings will be commenced against them and the sentiment Is very strong in favor of their punishment LOUISIANA BOND FBAUDS. The Grand Jury Has Foand a Score of In . dlctments of Burke. Netv Oblean3, October 26. The grand jury to-day made a special report on the bond steal. They stale that the irregulari ties commenced.as far back as 1880. During 1880-81, $260,000 consolidated bonds were exchanged according to law, for new 4 per cent, known as constitutional bonds. Notwithstandinir the exchange and the positive- mandates of the law requiring their immediate cancella tion, these bonds were retained intact until May 6, 1882, and were used by the Treas urer, JJ.' A Burke, to that day 'for his private purposes, for we find that a number of these bonds have beep held as collateral for a private. , loan.br two corporations in .tbis' cityCT Thesejwnda "were .finally- re turned to the Treasury and destroyed. The total fraudulent bonds-put into circulation bv Burke amounted to' $373,000, including 570,000 of constitutional bonds, 164,000 of whicb have been recorded- by the State authorities. These constitutional bonds purported, to' have been issued in exchange for certain consolidated bonds and. had been numbered to correspond with outstanding consols. In many cases the fraudulent numbers were duplicated and in one case the same number was used three time's. The grand inrv found 15 or 20 indictments azainst E. A.

James Finch, a British teaman, made an assault with a revolver on the British Consul, Mr, Donohoe. and acting Vice Consul Moore, in the Consul's office this afternoon. The cart ridge did not explode when Finch pointed the weapon at Moore and he turned the weapon on the Consul. The bullet passed through the stovepipe in the office and was cut in two, one piece passing within a short distance of the Consul's head. Finch was arrested. He was formerly boatsman of the British ship Amazon, but was discharged because he was too ill to accompany the vessel when it left this port for Hull, En gland, on the 13th. Finch claimed there was some money doe him, and he frequently visited at the Con sulate to press his demand. He was told to-day that money had been sent, on to London for him, as he had failed to comply with certain requisitions, and this led to the shooting, 'The Poles Still la Possession.
