PLEAS OF NOT GUILTY.
COUGHLlN, SULLIVAN AND WOODRUFF IN
COURT
The Developments IN the CONN Assassination Mysarv
TssieFtaY-No New Arrests Made
Luke Dillon Defends the
Ola1-Na Gael.

CHICAGO, May 3l.-P. o Sullivan, the
ice man, Frank Woodruff and ex-Detective
Ooughlin were srrsigned before Judge
Williams this afternoon charged with the
murder of DR.. CrOnin They were brought
into court from the Jail through the non
passage-way, and Immediately sitter plead
ing not guilty were taken back again.
Very few spectators were present and
only one Of the men-Sullivan-h had an
attorney in Court Lawyers David and
DOnahue, who are attending to the ice
mans case, happened to be in Court at the
time, trying another case. Mr.. David en-
tered the stereotyped motion to quash the
indictment, but no date was set for argu-
ments. Each of t.s three prisoners was
furnished with q cfpy of the indictment
against him.
LUHg DILLoN's OFFENCE.
Luke Dillon, the Philadelphia delegate
of the Clan-na- Gael, in lengthy inter
view this afternoon, insisted, with con-
siderable show of indignation, that the
Clan-na-Gael, as body, had nothing what
ever TO do with the assassination. He pro-
duced a constitution of the order, which
showed that the most severe punishment
that could be imposed for the worst crime
against the cause of Ireland-that of trea-
son-was expulsion from the ranks in dis
grace He went on to say that there was
now but little, if any, doubt but that the
crime was committed by members of the
order, and these members of certain
camp, but cOntended that the order as a
body could not be held responsible for the
action of the conspirators.
WHAT HAS PINKERTON DONE?
Meanwhile there is good deal of spec
ulatiOn as to what has been accomplished
by the Pinkerton agency, which has been
employed by Cronin's friends to sift the
matter TO the bottom regardless of expense
The officers of the agency are as dumb as
oysters, while w. I. Rend, the treasurer
Of the committee f. whom the reports are
made, is equally non-cOmmunicative
People very close to the latter, however,
significantly suggest that the agency has
the key TO the mystery and that it
will be but few days before the
world will be treated to q startling sensa-
tion. 1t is admitted that nearly score of
operatives, some Of them brought here
from Philadelphia and New York, are on
the case, and those familiar with the record
of the agency are confident that some of
this number are bound to strike the right
lead.
"FOr all you or l my know" said a
pro ninent Icishman tonight, they may
already have people at their headquarters
whom they have reason to suspect Of COM
plicity in the crime. Such things have
happened before, and are nothing foreign

ment exercises Of that famous institution
of learning-the Wheeling Female College,
were auspiciOusly opened last evening in

nual concert, and it certainly proved to be
worthy of the institution. DR.. Blaisdell
has shown himself to be the right man in
the right place, as the splendid record
made in the past two years under his
charge has fully attested. The outcome
of last evenings concert was grand com.
pliment to Miss Emory, who has charge Of
the musical department Of the college.
A large and refined audience was pres
ent and sll listened with pleasure to the
performances of those who participated in
the musical treat. A bevy Of charming
young ladies-Misses Lizzie Lucas, Bessie
Carothers, Ssllie Beck and Katie Ramil-
ton-officiated as ushers, and they peform-
ed their duties in graceful manner. The

Miss Bessie JepsOn, possessed very
sweet voice and her solo was received in a
very warm manner by the audience. Later
in the evening in response to a request she
sang IBID Me Goodbye and Co."
When Miss Pollack finished her solo
there was a demand on the part of the au-
dience for more, but she declined to re-
spOnd. Miss Movers voice was heard TO
good effect and she was compelled TO re-
spond, singing a Spanish Serenade by
ROeder, very sweetly. Miss OTIS Mar
gueTite was sung in a charming manner
and she received deserved applause.
The instrumental numbers on the pro-
gramme were played in way that showed
the talent Of the performers is being develop
ed most thoroughly by one competent to
do 80. By request Miss Emory played a
valse caprice, by Raft and of course it
was rendered with the taste and finish OF
true artist.
The concert was one OF the most eDiOya-
BILE given at the College in many years,
and the informal reception that followed
in the psrlors was very pleasant indeed.
On Sunday evening Rev. J. T. Mcclure,
ID, will deliver the bsccalaureate ser
mon at the United Presbyterian Church.

FOUL WITH CORRUPTION.
How Rhode Island Republican Secured
His Election.

NEWPORT, R. L, May 31.-In the
General Assembly this morning a report
from the Committee on Elections con-
cerning the Black Island bribery case was
read. The report stated that 10 to 100 men
were bribed to vote for John G.. Sheffield,
Jr., (Republicau) who holds the seat,
and that from S25 to 500 were paid for
votes. The corruption revealed by the
report was almost impossible to believe.
The Republicans made counter chages
against the Democrats of similar pro-
ceedings, and with the report was a reso-
luton that Sheffield was not legally
elected and not entitled to his seat in the
House, and that Christopher E. Chsmplin
was entitled to the seat held by Sheffield
The House voted Al to 81 to continue the
matter to the January session.
