The Harlan Outlaws Couldn't Shoot and
Were Themselves Laid Out.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. pa special to the
Courier journal received early this morning
gives the correct statement Of the killed and
wounded in the fatal fight near Harlan court
house yesterday as follows: Two hours before
daylight yesterday morning the law and order
party, hitherto styled the Turner faction, of
Harlan county, fifty men in all, armed with
Winchester rifles and revolvers, under the
leadership of County Judge Lewis, left the
court house and made an assault on the Howard
forces, who were encamped at E. NJ. Towards
house, one mile from town. The engagement
was short, sharp and terrific and not one of the
attacking party was hurt, but one of Towards
side, Mlllard Dean. was instantly killed and six
others were wounded. Among the wounded
mortal, and Robert Napier, whose re-
covery is not among the possibilities. Bird
Spurlock was shot in the head, almost
all Of his lower jaw being destroyed by ball
from Winchester. Napier, son Of George
Napier, received two bullets, one of which
his intestines. Ben Mitchell and George Cole
were shot in the legs. Thomas Howard got
flesh wound in the thigh. Jim Spurlock had a
close call. A bullet grazing his temple, tear
ing away a handful of hair and few inches of
skin, but not fracturing the skull. Will Jen-
nings was shot through the right hand
There was o report that Wilson Howard has
been mortality wounded, but later advices are
that he escaped unhurt
The foregoing list OF casualties may be relied
on as absolutely correct, it having been fur
nished by gentleman who left Harlan court
house yesterday. The Howard gang were badly
demoralized by the attack and its disastrous
results and Tuesday night they changed camp
to point about three miles from the court
house. They have been making the house of
E. VI. Howard their headquarters. E. M. How
ard is q cousin Of Wilson Howard and lives at
the mouth Of Poor Fork, one mile below the

WHAT MUST BE PROVED.
The Prosecution Outlines Its Case.


The states attorney then proceeded to define
murder and TO set forth what were the material
allegations in the indictment which it would be
necessary for the state to prove in order to JUS
These were: O DR.. Cronin was killed; ca
that the killing was done in this state; (3)
that it was done without provocation and az
that these defendants did it. The speaker then
defined direct and circumstantial evidence He
illustrated the latter by saying that o man
might see another pointing pistol
flashes. hear the report and see the
man drop, but as he could not see the bullet
strike the man fred at it would be only circum-
stantial evidence Of the shooting. The speaker
and the finding Of his body eighteen days after
ward, and that the state proposed to prove it q
murder as the result of a conspiracy.
He said: These men are charged with hav-
ing murdered DR.. Cronin. The evidence We
shall introduce will be to show q conspiracy to
murder DIR. Cronin. The evidence that we
shall produce will be that in the conspiracy,
which was formed and carried into execution,
terminating in the killing Of DR.. Cronin, all the
conspirators are liable for murder, and that
the punishment for conspiracy ends in the
punishment for murder.
That is the position we take in this case.
Now, as l say, on the night Of the 4th of May,
at 7:30 o'clock, nothing was seen or heard of Dr.
Cronin, except as we shall prove that the same
hidden hand that worked and moved
this conspiracy, that concocted this scheme
was again working in this community to lead
the people to believe that DR.. Cronin was still
alive. That same hidden hand, that same
mysterious work upon which the conspiracy
rests in this case, was at work trying to make
the people of this community believe that DIR.
Cronln was not murdered, but was
still alive. Not content with having
dealt out his life, not content with having laid
him to rest in Q sewer the same conspirators
that brought it about were again at work for
the purpose of blasting the character and
reputation of the man they had murdered.
And until the 22d day of May the people all
over this city and country had doubts as to
whether the poor man was ever killed"

Tailors Strike I'm Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. A-The union journeymen
tailors of the city to the number of about $50
went on strike this morning. The trouble
originated sometime ago in the shop of G. W.
Mathews. The cutter Of the establishment
was obnoxious to the journeymen and they de-
handed his discharge. Mr.. Matthews de-
clined to comply with the demand.
His men struck and laid their
case before the journeymen tailors' association.
That body Endorsed the strike and applied to
the tailors and Diapers exchange to compel w.
Mathews to discharge his cutter. The exchange
declined to do this. This brought the diplo-
matte negotiations to q close and the Journey
men met last night and resolved to strike at 10
o'clock this morning.

A PENSION OFFICE CHANGE.
II Only Involves Scrubbing Brushes
Other Changes May Come ssLater On"


There has been quite an important change
became commissioner. The floors of the en-
frances and galleries Of the building have been
treated to good scrubbing and the force Of
laborers are at work in the building. Capt
Filler, the new superintendent, made the pre-
diction that he would have the building look a.
clean as a new pin and it seems as If he was go
ing to do so.
There are SO many visitors to the building
every day that it is difficult to maintain its
cleanly appearance. Gen. Raum wants 1t done
and 1t is likely that his wish will be gratifed.
The commissioner had good many callers to-
day and in addition large mail which en-
crossed his attention during the greater por-
ton Of the day.
Col. Alexander, who was formerly fifth
auditor and for a time during the presidential
campaign was private secretary to Gen. Harri-
son, was among the callers today. He lie now
living in Buffalo. Whether he will be per-
suaded to accept Office again in this city has
not been decided.
ON THE QU1 WYE.
A number Of members of Congress drop in to
see Gen. Raum, with the expectation that there
will be changes in the higher positions IN the
pension Office. 1t seems to be O pretty general
impression that nearly all the officials had q
slice of the surplus, and that in consequence
there viii be general turnout. Of course
this In an entirely erroneous idea, as compare
lively few of the entire number of employees
participated in the rerating festival. Gen.
Raum's attention, however, Is being called each
day to men whose services, he is told. would be
valuable in making his administration a sue
cess. He hears what is to be said, but so far he
has kept his own counsel and given no indics-
ton of what changes he proposes to make.
The employees who think that their official
heads are in danger are busy in marshaling
their influence with the view Of coming down
in force upon the commissioner at the first
alarm

coyery Of the early trading. The strong spot
in the market was Denver, Texas and Fort

and retained most Of the improvement The
business done was only moderate and Union
Pacific and Reading we're the only really active
stocks in the regular list and sugar among the
