A Trial En1l OF Sensations.

The Cronin case promises to be the most
sensational criminal case ever before the
courts of America. Interest in it is not
confined to this country, 1t is attracting
great deal Of attention in England. Weeks
have been occupied in the effort to get a
jury, and the jury box is not yet full, and
is not likely 70 be for many days. When
the jury is completed the chances are that
it will be found that some one or more Of its
members are suspected of favoriag one side
or the other so strongly that an attempt
will be made to reconstruct it.
Before the jury has been obtained the
ease has furnished a great sensation. 1t
has been discovered that the prosecuting
attorneys Office has been robbed by one of
its trusted empl yes Of papers bearing upon
the case Of the most valuable character, and
also that attempts have been made 10 bride
men, summoned as jurors, to acquit the
defendants, if they should succeed in getting
on the jury. Half dozen or moro persons
of more or less prominence have been in
dicted for these offenses, and still others
may be indicted. The Cronin case, there
fore, although the II ia of it has only begun,
has furnished material for half dozen
other cases, and may furnish material for
many more
DR.. CrOnin was not very important in
dividual during his life, but his name has
become known to o whole civilized world
since his death. The theory of the state is
that he was the victim of great conspiracy,
and that those who murdered him were the
instruments of a political organization
which Yields extraordinary power.
the prosecution declares that it has wit
neSSes to sustain its theory. If it has, there
are more sensations in store for the public.
Men whose names have not been mentioned
in connection with the case, except in whis-
pers, may find themselves occupying very
unpleasant positions
From the moment that it was discovered
that DR.. Cronin had disappeared the i'm
preston seemed to get abroad that crime
had been committed that was altogether
outside of the ordinary run of criminal
cases, and when his body was found in a
sewer this impression became a firmly
rooted conviction. Subsequent develop
ments have fully sustained the early specu-
lations with regard to the crime.

Search Out the Fire-Bugs.

Are there persons in this city who are
engaged in setting fire to buildings! There
is beginning to be very strong suspicion
that there are. There have been a great
many fires recently, and of some of them no
reasonable explanation is offered Indeed
there seems to be no question that several
of them were of incendiary origin. The
evidence that the houses of Charles Burg
mayer and DR.. Norton, both of
which burned early Sunday morning, were
set on fire is strong. In fact, it is almost
impossible to doubt that the burning of
Mr.. Burgmayer'S house was the work of an
incendiary. The Waterman in DIR. Norton's
house may have accidentally dropped a
spark in the building, but there is no reason
to think he did
These two fires are mentioned because
they are the most recent Quits a number
of others have occurred within the last two
or three months which were of a very
suspicious character.
Incendiaries do their work secretly, and
it is not, therefore, an easy matter to dis
cover them, but what has been done to dis
cover those who are believed to be at work
have taken some steps in that direction.
but have they done all that it is possible to
dos Have they made thorough investiga-
tons of the fires thought to be of incendiary
origin, and have they sought and followed
up clews with the earnestness and vigor
which the situation seems to demandg 1T
to be supposed that they have. and if they
haven't, they have failed in doing their
duty.
The insurance companies are deeply in
terested in discovering the guilty parties, if
there are any, and it would seem as if they
ought to lend the city authorities some
assistance. An extraordinary effort ought
to be made, first, to settle the question
whether the fires were caused by incen-
diaries, and if so, to arrest those who
caused them. 1t is folly to do nothing
while the fires continue to occur. The in
cendiaries will not be found if no effort is
made to find them. Feeling secure they
will become holder.

He Smoked Right Along.

Two young women and a man climbed on top
OF Fifth avenue stage one day last week aud
settled down on one of the hack seats for a
pleasant ride up the avenue. says the New York
TIMES. The young women were of the prm
sort, and were evidently not used to travelling
on the hurricane deck a vehicle On the Sc 1t
with the driver was a fashionaby dressed ma n
smoking an excellent cigar and enjoying him
self to his hearts content. The smoke was
on the stage except the two prim young ladies'
They didn't like, or at least they pretended not
to like it.
What horrible cigar that ~ said one
HE ought to know better than to smoke on
the stage" said another
We'll, some people don't know enough to
stop smoking when there are ladi IS around"
Some one should complain to the officers of
the company about ii"
The gentleman sitting with the driver heard all
that was said, and il was evidently said so that
he should hear it, But he smoked right on and
didn't seem to care whether the officers of the
company were complained to or not The young
women kept on making REMARKS and his posi-
ton was little embarrassing His cigar was
pretty we'll smoked down by the time he got
ready to get off.
As the stage halted he turned to the young
said: 81 have heard good deal of what has
been said about smoking Now, it might as
well be understood that all these seats up here
on the top of the stage are for smokers and
those who ride with them"
who is that?" asked the young man as the
other got down
20, that's Ely Goddard, - said the driver
And who is he?''
Hes the president of this stage company"

A writer in the Washington Capital SAYS:
II once saw map in tho library of the
war department which l have often wished
to see again. 1t was Mr.. Cameron's idea of
what the map Of the United States ought
TO look like after the war. In il the names
of the southern states were obliterated.
None of the southern state lines were re-
tanned. Even the border states lines were
rectified. Delaware was absorbed by Penn
sylvania and Maryland. Maryland also
took in the eastern shore of Virginia; Vir-
ginia was divided and the ancient name
disappeared; natural lines were adopted to
form new states, and Louisiana west of the
Mississippi was thrown with Texas to make
four new states. but none to cone into the
union until 1880. Florida was obliterated.

Cameron wanted the south obliterated, but
Gen. Cameron is dead, and the south is
gradually becoming the most prosperous
section of the country.

of our crowd sauntered up to him and careesSly
