TORONTO, May 10.-Dr. b. P. Cronin is
in Canada. He was seen to-day by o. T.
Long, who for three years was in
timately acquainted with the miss
ing doctor. Long was walking down
Young street shortly after IL o'clock
this morning. and when opposite the Arcade
came face to face with DR.. Cronin. Stepping
up, he said: 'Cronin, what are you doing in
Toronto when your friends in Chicago are
hunting the earth for your
''Now. look here. Long" he replied, ''for
Gods sake let up on me. I have already had
enough notoriety, and don't want to be both
cred. Why can't you let me 60. You know
have always been your friend, and 1 shall ex-
pect that you will say nothing about having
seen me-"
Cronin declared that he had unearthed
great crime in Chicago during the past few
months, but he would give no details, and said
that his life had been settled as The penalty,

IN OAKLAND AND SOHO.

Mcuntains of Mud Over the Gable racks
and Conduits Full.
In Oakland the streets were wild and turbu-
lent with water, like the raging rapids, and the
cable cars would have had to cease running
independently of flooded power hou sea- The
slots and conduits were filed with water, in
some places to the depth of two feet, and
this, with mud, sand and stones, rendered
running impractible. No cars passed Soho
street after 10 O'Clock, and at 2 this MORN
ing about 18 cars were 'strlck" there,
unable to move either way.
In some places the mud had washed over
the tracks like huge mountaih.
Great crowds of people ge.thered about
where the cars were delayed, and those who
had long distance to come W ere compelled
to secure hacks or walk homeL

A Woman Chopped Out of Flooded House
in Soho.
There was an average of from seven to
eight feet of water in the houses which cling
to the Soho hillside along that dangerous
hollow between Fifth avenue and Forbes
street. Several narrow escapes are reported
so suddenly did the roaring torrents of
water pour down the steep decliyity upon
them. This broke in windows and doors,
and, upsetting furniture, continued to rise
on the floor until pictures upon the wall
started to float
In one house woman alone in the lower
floor was caught by the quick food and
could not reach the door or stairway.
Neighbors chopped ouen the window anu
rescued her. It was thrilling night in that
locality, but no lives were lost.
Twenty cable cars were still lying at the
foot of the Soho hill at o'clock this morn
ing. The mud had completely blocked
them. These cars were bound east aud west.

The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance Of DR.. CrOnin, of Chicago, is in fair
way to be dispelled. A young man arrested
by the police has made startling confes-
sion. He says that in company with three
men, one of whom he believes was Cronin,
he took the body of a woman in trunk to
the lake and deposited it there. He was
paid SIS for his share of the work. A woman
is missing from the locality described, and
the police nave discovered other evidence
confirming the story.

How did Crcnin lookg'
"As 1 said l never saw Cronin upon the
street to know him. That night he looked like
a man quite well along in years. But noticed
most particularly the black eye and the mus
tache and goatee. The eye was badly swelled.
He wore derby hat and black clothes"
Have you seen the three men since Sunday
morning?'
Il saw King on Monday on Wabash avenue
expressions that he then used feel sure that
Cronin is in the city and that King knows his
whereabouts and that if King can be found he
will tell where Cronin is.
The prisoner was taken out of the station
with Captain O'Donnell Thursday night
and again to-day. He pointed out the place
where he left the trunk and fixed the identi-
cal spot where it was found. He pointed
out the barn, which proved to be in the rear
of 52S North State street. The officer en-
tered it, but could find no evidence for or
against the story.
What the Prisoner Suspects.
Woodruff says he suspects from the con-
versation he overheard between Cronin,
Fairburn and King that the trunk was that
of woman whose death resulted from an
operation performed by DIR. Cronin. He
reached this conclusion from the anxiety
evinced by the doctor to get the body out of
the way and from the fact that Cronin had
apparently been recently struck by some
one. Woodruff first read of Cronin's disap-
pearance in Tuesdays ptper and also read
the story relating to the finding of the empty
trunk.
He was greatly frightened and thinking
that the officers were certainly on his track
took means to get out of the city. He had
some money remaining from the sum given
him by King, but decided to obtain little
more. The result was his arrest for attempt
ing to sell the horse, which happened to be
the identical animal he used on the memoir
able night.
At late hour tonight it was learned
that pretty brunette named Allie or Alice
Villavaso has been missing from the neigh
borhood near which is located the barn
where Woodruff is said to have met DR..
Cronin and the latter's companion.

thrown away when too much broken to
be repaired. Without consulting any

some of the many cements now in the
market. Some of these were easily re-

prices. found a ready sale.
Tho,e most broken could not be so
easily disposed of, but the young woman
was not dIsmayed. She first tried put

when this failed. formed what might be
called crazy quilt patterns OF the frag-
mcnts. These were of quaint, even gro
ties Tie shapes. and decorated in such an
ingenious manner that the Crevices could
