IS 1T MURDERa
Jerry CrOnin Found Dead in His Blood
on a Board Pile.

About half-past o'clock this mornings
laborer named Flanagan, while walking
along Eggleston avenue, just below Eighth
street, passed a lumber pile, when his at
tention was attracted to marks of blood on
the side of the pile and also on the ground
On investigation he discovered the corpsr
of man lying on the top of the Lumbar
pile in large pool of blood. He at oHcs
notified the police, who identified the corpss
as that of Jerry Cronin, single man about
thirty-seven years old, who lived with hfs
aunt at No. las Lock street. She says that
Cronin was quiet and inoffensve man, but
that on several times he had suffered froza
epileptic fits.
When found this morning it was noticed
that Cronin's lips were considerably swollen,
but no other external marks that would
lead to belief of violence were discovered.
Some are of the opinion that Cronin, while
on the board-pile, was seized with fit and
falling down died. Others say that tina
marks of blood on the lumber would make
it look as if the deceased had been assaulted
and dragged to the top of the pile, where be
was found.
The neighbors are inclined to this belief,
the more so as couple of pistol shots were
| fired in that neighborhood last night and a
! great deal of noise, as that OF persons scnt-
fling had been heard.
The Coroner was notified, and after re-
viewing the remains ordered DIR. J. Ral1sa-
hoff to make post mortem examination.
An inquest will be held this evening.

by" and skipped down the alley, back Of
the Debolt Exchange at a rattling rate.
Thence he went to Main, then south
through another alley to Sycamore and

citement.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Whether the re-
port that Gen. Mackenzie has crossed the
Rio Grande with eight hundred men be
true or not it is pretty evident that news OF
a not unexciting character may beexpected
from that quarter this summer. American
troops will cross, if they have not crossed
already, in pursuit of raiders from the Mex
ican side. In spite of inadequate forces
our Government has determined to act
with vigor and boldness on the border. The
Mexicans living along the Rio Grande who
obtain cheap horses and provisions and COM
parative immunity from such forages by
encouraging Indian marauders to cross into
Texas, will not welcome the troops hosplta-
bly,, and the officers and army from this
side of the river who have seen their fire.
uuent expeditions into Mexico made un-
successful and to some extent ridiculous by
the course followed by the Mexican local
authorities are not conciliatory guests.
The Transportation of Coin.
The question of the transportation OF
Government gold coin through the mails

A MICHIGAN KU-KLUx.

ST. CLAIR, Mich, July 26.-A few weeks
since Albert Staley, a well-known character,
was shot and killed, near st. Clair, by un-
known parties. George Granger, Ex-Super-
visor of Columbus Township, and Solomon
kittredge, two friends of the murdered Al
bert Staley, and his favorite son, John Sta
ley, have lately received notices headed
with representations of cross-bones and cof
fins, telling the recipients that they must
look sharp after their conduct, as there is
still left some of the same bar of lead from
which the slugs that killed Albert Staley
were made. John Staley has received three
of these notices, Solomon Kittredge two,
and Granger one. John Staley is much
frightened, and never leaves his house after
dark.
1t is now generally conceded that the as
sassination of Albert Staley was the work of
a Vigilance Committee organized in the Sta
ley neighborhood some months ago, and
that the sending of the notices mentioned
is the work of the same committee. This
idea is strongly supported from the fact
that Charles Mcmillan, an ex-Superyisor of
st. Clair Township, and brother of the
wholesale grocers in Detroit of that name,
states that sometime since he received an
invitation to join such an organization.
Mcmillan 80 far declines to disclose the
names of the parties who solicited his mem-
bership, but says they were of the best and
most prominent citizens in the vicinity OF
the assassination.
