! INDICTED BY THE GRAND JURY. Detective CeushIan, O'sulltvan and Black Charged With the Murder of pr. Cron1n-The Important Tessimo- ny Yesterday.
 CHICAGO, May 2S.-Desective Daniel Coughlan, Patrick O'Sullivan, the ice man, and Frank J. Black, alias Woodruff, were indicted by the grand jury this evening for the murder of Dr. Cronin. This result was reached after an investigation lasting seven hours, during which two dozen witnesses were examined and a mass of evidence con- sidered. The prisoners were included in one indictment. to which there were three counts, one charging them with killing Dr. Cronin with blunt instrument the second alleging the use of sharp instrument, and the third, instruments and means unknown. No evidence was introduced to prove a con- spiracy and Dr. Crohin's. private papers
 were not placed before the grand jury. John J. Cronin, brother of the
 murdered man, was the first witness. He

 etery last Sunday was that of his brother.
 Thomas O'Neill, Mayor Creiger's private seo-
 retary, took his notes of Detective Cough-
 lin's statement with him when he went be-
 fore the investigators, and it was half an
 hour before he came out again. Liveryman
 Dinan told about Cough1in's ordering horse for friend the night of May and described
 the horse and the man who drove it away.
 His hostler, Napier Morland, was also summoned. Willard J. Smith and J. s. Smith, Coughlin's friends from Tough ton, Mich, who say they did not hire Dinsn's white horse, notwithstanding Coughlin's statement to the contrary, went before the jury together. Frank Scanlon and Mir.
 and Mrs. T. T. Conkling completed the chain of evidence which led to the holding of Coughlin and Black. Justice Mahoney of Lake View told the jury that he knew of Sul- livan's contract with Dr. Cronin for surgical services, and John Carlson, his son Charles and the latter's wife were called upon to give particulars of the renting of their cottage in and MT. Belfeld gave expert testimony as to the nature of the wounds which caused his death and the kind of instrument with which they were inflicted. Frederick Bosch, the laborer, who found the body, and Milkman
 Merlis, who heard sounds of 8 struggle in the Carlson cottage the night of the murder, were given an opportunity to repeat their stories. Captain Schaack, Captain Wing of Lake View, Lieutenant Schutler and Officers Larch and Hiett were the remaining wit nesses. The grand jury took only one vote unanimous for indicting all three prisoners. State Attorney Longneoker said tonight that no mention of Clan-na-Gael affairs had been made in the jury room. 'The charge of conspiracy was not investigated" he added,
 "and Dr. Cronin's papers were not brought in. Those matters will come later; prob- ably before another grand jury"

 Miss Mary Sophie Gilpin, sister of e1-Gov-
 ernor Gilpin of Colorado, who died here last
 week, had promised to leave $200,000 to
 found school for young ladies at Whining ton, have led to some inquiry concerning the matter.
 Miss Gilpin was of reticent turn of mind, not speaking often of herself or her family, though she had told of her trouble with her brother. ex-Governor Gilpin, who had had her confined for insanity. She also told how upon one occasion she escaped from her
 guards and went to California, how she was captured and taken back, and how she again made her escape. Her manner of dress was as eccentric her conversation, and she ap-
 peared more like street beggar than a wo- man who was possessed of an estate large
 enough to enable her to endow an educa- tional establishment with $200, ,000. She stated that she had made a will which
 was in the town of Whatcom, W. T., be- queathing her Delsware property to an edu- cational institution for girls, and that her large library in Delaware should also go to this school. This may be the $200, 900 be quest referred to in the dispatches as hay ing been promised by Miss Gilpin for the founding of school for girls at Wilmington. Miss Gilpin was eighty years of age.

COLLISION ON THE HOUsAT0NHC. An Engineer and Brakeman Killed
 and Two Engines Wrecked-TWo
 Employes Iniured-A Telegraph Op-
 cratorss Nap.
 BRIDGEPORT, May 28.-A special freight train from this city collided with the regular Albany freight bound south on the Housa- tonic railroad about 4:30 this morning one mile from TrumbuH station and four from this city, causing a disastrous wreck. Both trains came together with terrible crash, wrecking the engines into 8 shapeless mass, telescoping two freight cars on the up train, smashing three cars of the down train and derailing nine other cars.
 Wm. B. Look of Great Harrington, a young married man who had charge of the engine of the up train, was crushed to death. He was highly respected and efficient. His re- mains were found buried in the coal of his tender. Charles Olds, brakeman on the same train, living in West Stockbridge, Mass, was terribly crushed and died in 8 few moments after the collision. John Lamonte of West Stockbridge, brakeman, jumped as the trains came together. His left ankle was crushed and one of his ribs was fractured. James McDarmott, engineer ot the down train, jumped just before the collision. His shoulder was dislocated and he was other wise bruised. The latter two will recover. The cause of the accident was due to the disobedienee of orders. The up train was 8 special in charge of Conductor Horne, and had the right of way. Flynn, the train de- spatcher of this city, sent orders to McGuire, the operator at Stepney, to stop the down train at that point until the up train passed. Orders were also sent to McDermott, engineer of the down train at New Milford, to look for orders at stepney. Mcclure, the operator at order and reported that they were fully understood. When NcDermott reached
