Pushing BouIanger,s Cause.

PARIS, May 2S.-ln the chamber of
deputies to-day Laguerre gave notice he
would ~interpellate the government in re-
lation to the delay of the senate In max
ing a report in the case of Gen. Boulan-
ger. President Meline replied while he
was DESTROYS to respect the liberty of the
tribune, it would be impossible to allow
Laguerre to make such Interpolation. The
senate, he added, was entirely independ-
emit in this matter for the issue was of iu-
dicial character. and the chamber had no
right or power to interfere. Considerable
debate and much confusion followed.
De Cassagnac finally said if the deputies
retained any feeling of shame, courage or
duty, they would vote to allow Laguerre
to proceed with his Interpolation. The
chamber after passing a vote censuring
DE Cassagnac, proceeded with the order of
the day, by a vote of 3OS to ZIG.

mer was married yesterday to Miss Ma
mic Incl, and within a few hours after
the ceremony which bound them together
for life, the bride eloped with a former
lover, who carried her off safely to his
Idaho home. His name is j. G. Prichett;
he went to Idaho three years ago. When
he went west he was engaged to be mar
ried to Mamie, a prominent society lady
of this city: but his departure broke off
the engagement. A week ago he received
an invitation to the wedding Of Miss Incl
and j. s. Ulmer, her cousin. He has
tened back and reached the city yesterday
half an hour after the performance of the
ceremony that made Miss incl her
cousins wife. He sent for the bride and
had a short talk with her on the side
walk. The pair her entered his buggy
and drove away. Ulmer started in pur-
suit of his bride, hut returned four hours
later without her. The pair are now
supposed to be on their way to Omaha.
The parties are well known here aud much
respected.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Detectiye Daniel
Coughlin, Patrick o. Sullivan, the lee
man, and Frank j. Black, alias Wood
ruff, were indicted by the grand jury this
evening for the murder OF DIR. Cronln.
This result was reached after an investi
cation which began at noon and lasted
seven hours, during which two dozen
witnesses were examined and a mass of
evidence considered. The three prison
ers were included in one Indictment. 70
which there were three counts.
No evidence was introduced to show a
conspiracy. and Cronin's private papers
we're not placed before the grand jury.
The witnesses who were called were those
whose stories have been told in the press
State Attorney Longenecker thought it
advisable to tighten the coils into which
the three prisoners had already been
drawn, and fasten them with indictments,
probably TO prevent any attempt to ecure
a release ofone or more of them on bail.
The grand jury took only one vote after
hearing the witnesses and that was unani-
nous for the indictment of all
three of the prisoners. States
Attorney Longenecker said tonight
no mention of the Clan ma Gael affairs has
been made in the Jury room. The charge
of conspiracy and DR.. Cronin's papers will
be taken up later, probably before another
grand jury.

The Maybrick Inquest.

LIVERPOOL, May 2S.-The inquest
over the body of Maybrick, whose death
is supposed to have been caused by poison
administered by his wife, began to-day.
Michael Maybrick, brother of the deceased
testified that he visited his brother during
his illness and warned Mrs. Maybrick that
he suspected his brother was receiving
improper treatment. His wife insisted
upon the right to nurse her husband.
Witness thereupon summoned two doc
tors and a new nurse. He also seized a
bottle containing brandy and extract of
malt. At a late visit the witness found
Mrs. Maybrick changing the contents and
labels of the medicine bottles. He re-
monstrated with her, and asked her how
she dared do such a thing. She replied
there was a sediment in the bottle. The
witness again caused a change of nurse.
Notwithstanding his precautions however,
his brother grew worse and died IN a short
time. He was delirious toward the end.
After his death the nurse gave witness a
parcel labelled arsenic. poison for
cats" 1t contained several bottles In
which was a white fluid and from which
the labels had been erased. Witness
placed the bottles under seal and gave
them to h police.
Alice Jappe, the nurse, produced a let
ter and tod how Mrs. Maybrick had given
her a letter to post, and that while on the
way to do this, she dropped the letter in
the mud. In opening the letter, with the
intention Of placing it in another enve-
lope, she noticed it contained a number of
endearing words; the following sentence
particularly attracted her attention:
Dearest, my husband is sick unto death;
all depends upon how long his strength
can hold out. Darling, relieve your mind
of all fear of discovery now or in the
future. In any case do not leave Eng
land until | see you once again."
