Bishop Foss,s Illness.

st. PAUL, MIMI, May 16.-The illness which
now threatens the life of Bishop Cyrus D.
Foss, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at his
home in this city, was primarily caused by
stepping on loose plank in the sidewalk while
on his way to church last January. The slight
sprain of the ankle which he then received did
not seriously inconvenience him; but three
weeks afterward as he was again entering
church the weakened joint was q second time
injured. Erysipelas set in, accompanied by in
fammation, and despite careful medical atten-
dance low form of typhoid fever followed,
from which he is now suffering. The injured
limb has wasted away to mere skeleton. He
is more comfortable to-day and slowly improv-

Whatever the cause, don't

Jennie Cramer's Murder.

New HAVEN, May 15.-Pending the opening
of the court the Malleys and lawyer Jones had
a whispered consultation, in the course o1
which all three spoke with much earnestness
after adjournment last Friday he had spoken
10 bWitness Maltby about coming into
court this morning that he might be fur
ther cross-examined. Doolittle said he had
net understood it and had told Maltby that he
need not come again, but it was finally decided
to send for the witness.
William e. Hunter iof Plantsville testified
that he was at Savin Rock the morning OF
August 9Th last and also there Friday, Aug
9th, and saw the body of young girl lying on
the beach between 5 and 6 O'Clock Saturday
morning. He had seen the young girl on the
flying horses the evening before In company
with four or five people about o'clock MY
wife was with me but she is now sick. State
Attorney Doolittle then said, II give notice
that before the trial is over I shall call Mrs
Hunter if she is able to come here" On5cross
examination he testified that some OF the
party sat in box and some on the fyine
horses. One of the party, young man, acteo
as if he had been drinking; the two ladies
seemed particularly merry. The one saw
dead on the beach the next day laughed and
acted very jolly. She also said at one time
'sMy God, Pm paralyzed.o don't remember
testifying in the lower court that the CIR
said, ''Stop the horses; my God, I'm par
lyzed.'
Thomas Degnan, who, at the West Haven
hearing, figured as 'the man with the blaci
moustache," sat among the spectators this
morning and as the foregoing exclamation was
quoted he seemed almost choking with laugh
ter. He was a witness for the defence at Wes'
Haven and testified that he was on the flying
horses that Friday night with lady friend
and gave utterance to the "paralyzed" ex
cIamation. Subsequently the girl he was
with, who might be taken for Jennie Cramer
corroborated Degnan's testimony in every par
ticular. Her name is Maggie Kane and she
will no doubt be again called by the defense
as will Degnan.
Jennie Kendrick of Plantsville was the nexI
witness, who corroborated Mr.. Hunter.
Mrs Inwood of Hartford testified to seeing
James Malley, Jr., at 10.40 Friday night a.
Savin Rock.
At the afternoon session two witnesses testi
fed to seeing Jennie Cramer at Savin Rock Oh
the night of August 9th, thereby corroborating
previous testimony. The State intimated il
would rest its case by Thursday. Adjourned.
