NEW YORK. June 11.-Acting upon in.
structions from Chicago, Police Inspector
Byrnes to-day caused the arrest of John
| Maroney and Chas. Mcdonald. two men
whom he has been shadowing for suspected
completely in the murder of DIR. Cronin
Maroney is 81 years old ana claims TO be in
the dry goods business. Mcdonald is also
young man.
The man Maroney is John ID. Maroney,
dry goods merchant he has been
prominent figure in Irish circles for many
years. especially in the land league. He
has often spoken publicly against the use
of violence IN behalf of ireland. Very
little is known of Mcdonald. Both pris-
oners were taken before Inspector Byrnes
in the afternoon. They denied any knowl-
been In Chicago OF its vicinity. They ad-
mitted that they were members OF the
ClaA-na Gael. Immediately after the pris-
oners were arrested they were taken to the
Iomos police cOurL The prisoners will be
held for murder, in accordance with the IN
stTuctions given Inspector Byrnes from
Chicago.

Gael On the occasion of the queens jub-
lice Few years ago, Maroney was one of
a number of men who went to England
with funds of the revolutionary Organiza-
tiOn for the avowed purpose of
blowing up several public buildings.
MarOney blew up nothing and two of his
companions were arrested. Maroney has
never had any regular business. but has
been generally well supplied with money.
One of the charges made against Sullivanis
administration was that 500 of the funds
OF the Grammatical went into the mems
furnishing business, which Aaroney car
ried on in Philadelphia and in
which he failed. Maroney was one
of the men who before Cronin's
body was found in the sewer was most
pronounced in his opinion that the doctor
had not met with foul play, but had left
Chicago 10 avoid disgrace, resulting from
some scandal with which he was profss-
siOnally connected"
Another arrest was made tonight in
connection with the Cronin mystery. The
police authorities were reticent and would
only say that the prisoner was arrested on
suspicion of being another important per
son in the case The mysterious prisoner
was locked up at police headquarters by
Inspector Byrnes' detectives. The man
was hustled into the building by back
entraDce.
A short, ruddy compIexioned man walked
into the Tenth street police station this
evening and blurted out to the sergeant in
charge that he was the Cronin murderer.
He gave the name of Bryan Mclaughlin, OF
225 West Flttieth street, and said he was
by trade roofer. He was locked up for

A New IhaorN.


CHICAGO, June I2-The Herald to-day
will advance the theory that John Walsh,
sometimes known as John Hsnley, the
famous InviDcible, had a hand in the mur-
der of DIR. Cronin, and that the assassination
was ordered from across the water Walsh
was in Chicago several weeks PRIOR 10 the
murder of DIR. Cronin and was seen here at
various times until the middle of
February He said nothing about
his business. Walsh. accompanied by
Philip Mccarthy. of Chicago, aided in the
escape OF The Fenians from Australia in
1861. Walsh was selected for this danger
Gus task because OF his great strength and
iron nerve. When he returned to America
be became possessed of the idea that the
lriShmen OF the world owed him a living
and acted accordingly.
From that time To the present he has done
no manual work. Though nearly so years
OF age, he does not look TO be more than
35. He stands feet III inches in height
and can handle an ordinary man with the
greatest Of ease. Walsh was a trusted
agent OF the invincibles and
was assigned by them 10
perform dangerous work When
the Clan ma Gael passed into the
hands OF the famous triangle Walsh was
pressed into service, acting, il is said. under
direction. There is no record of Walsh's
work for the triangle in America. but there
are numerous stories which associate his
name with the disappearance OF many
men.

BOSTON BUTTE.
ONE OF TPE GREAT LANDMARKS OF
 THE CHA VALLEY.
The Sun Worshipers' Temple that was Never Understanding of Its Un- written History-The Records of fPrehistoric Races upon
 It's Rocks.

One of the most prominent land marks near Florence is located be- tween two and three miles northwest of the town, on the opposite side of the Gila river, and is now generally known as"Poston Butte" from it's as- sociation with a scheme of Hon. Chas. D. Poston, former delegate to con gress from Arizona, who conceived the idea of erecting upon it's summit a magnificent temple dedicated to the worship of the sun. A gentleman who has resided in Florence for many years and is thoroughly familiar with every detail of it's early history, has kindly furnished the following account of the circumstances that gave rise to the name of the butte and the romance that surrounds it.
 In the summer of the year 1878, Col. Chas. D. Poston, who was then holding the office of Register of the United States Land Office at Florence, conceived the idea of obtaining from some of the wealthy Parsees of India
Arizona weekly enterprise., 1889-12-21

The point in question rises abruptly from broad expanse of prairie land strewn with prehistoric remains and is the closest of the various peaks ad- jacent. It is nearly black in color, 8 huge mass of limestone and lava. Ro- mantle cliffs and almost inaccessible caves and hooks abound on it's rough exterior. Here the various birds of prey find safe retreat and security for their young. In the caverns, rat tlesnakes and small reptiles innumer- able find home.
 A person is at once struck with the adaptability of the vast monument for lookout or signal post during hos tilities of savage tribes. Situated in the center of once prosperous com munity of people-a people whose habitations were all built with view to defense-we would at once expect to find that some advantage had beer taken of the opportunity offered by nature.

scheme, and some say it cost hin several thousand. But it gradual. faded from his memory and, in after years, when the people of Florence spoke of it as "Poston's Folly" he die not have much to say.
 In his famous poem of "Apach' Land" (which, by the by, is literary curiosity and a very rare book fol more reasons than one,) he speaks O his Parsee flag and the mound a! follows:
 About a league northwest of town, A round butte rises from the ground; Alone it stands upon the plain,
 Detached from ev'ry mountain chain; In altitude three hundred feet,
 The morning sun's first beams to greet. Its evenings shadows fall apace
 In eastern alcove, which forms place For building secluded home
 Where one may wait life's coming gloam. On eastern front an Apache cave, In solid rock sepulchral nave,
 Forms tomb to face the rising sun, For place of rest when life is done; On top temple built of stone,
 For worship of the Great Unknewn; Resembling those on Persian hills, Which Zoroasters folio wer builds; And sacred fire burns constantly, As type of immortality.
 On high lofty pine is raised,
 And on its top a flag is placed;
 Not nailed to meet, as heroes do; Nor lashed with ropes, as sailors clew; But always to the breeze it filings, Revolving around on iron rings;
 Red sun in midst blue border round, A stout white canvass forms the ground. For fifty miles around you view
 The colors true, fred, white, and blue."
