Condition of London Cemeteries.

The recent official return on the
condition Of the London cemeteries is
unsavory reading enough. In Bromp-
ton cemetery, with an area of 282
acres, there have been buried within
less than fifty years 155,064 bodies,
while in the Tower Hamlets cemetery,
with twelve acres less, in about the same
time the number is 247, 900. When it
is remembered that these masses of
subterranean corruption are accumu-
lated in the midst of populous dis
tricts; that the soil is peculiarly UNI
fitted for the purpose, and that, in adj
dition, every artificial means is adopt
ed for prolonging the natural process
of decomposition, surely it is clear
that the time has come for practical
effort to be made to enforce reform
of the system. -London Truth.

The Safest Part of the Train.

That was a keen observer who ex-
claimed as he clambered over the
wreck at Ninth and Brown streets yes
terday, that he would not ride here
after on either end of a railroad train.
The middle cars are always the safest.
They do not receive destructive blow
from either front or rear collision /:
if the engine leaves the track they
usually remain in place, and they are
never snapped off, as the rear car
sometimes is. Almost the only case
in which the middle cars suffer is
when they are thrown off track by
the breaking of coupling or of some
part of the running gear, and that is
as likely to happen to one part of the
train as Observation-Disclosures In

THE DISTRICT OFFICER TESTIFIES.
Edward SpelIman's Evidence as to Beggs
and Coughlin.

Edward SpelIman's Evidence as to Beggs
and Coughlin.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The testimony in the
Cronin case Saturday was continuation of
the Identification Friday of the suspect
Bourk. He was again positively identified
by young Mr.. Carlson and the express
driver, Martenson, and WINGED when the
latter declared he was the man who was
wanted Yesterday Edward Spellman,
of Peoria. district officer of the Clan-na-
Gael, testified to the correspondence be-
tween himself and Beggs The let
ters were produced. Those from Beggs
asked Spellman to take some measures
to stop the fight against the "triangle"
waged by Cronin and others. He said that
many of the brothers did not believe the
charges against the executive, and it was
only keeping open a fight that injured the
order for these charges to be reiterated.
Spellman answered that he could do nothing
unless charges were preferred. Later, he
said, Beggs told him that the trouble had
been "amicably settled" The states attor-
ney tried to get him to admit that Beggs said
"attended to-" but he insisted that the former
words were used
A Slip of the Tongue.
The next branch or inquiry led IN the
direction Of Coughlin. The states attorney
asked Spellman if he had not sworn before
the grand jury that during a conversation
he had at Peoria with Coughlin when thu
latter was there long before the murder
with Kunze) the detective had said that
Cronin ought to be killed Witness said he
had not. He had sworn that Coughlin
applied a vigorous epithet to Cronin. He
went on to say that as soon as he was out of
the jury room he felt that he had done
Coughlin an injustice, and on reaching
home he asked friends who had heard the
conversation il Coughlin had said those
words. They assured him that he had not.
He then took pains to inform the states at
torney that he had been mistaken and
would not testify that way at the trial.
O'sullivan-The Midnight Ride.
Mrs. Farrar swore that O'Sullivan said to
her few days after the murder was found
out that it was said that Cronin was Brit
ish spy, and il SO, he ought to have been
killed.
Lake View police officers swore to seeing
a wagon with three men and q big trunk
drive north on the night of the
murder from the direction of the Carl
son cottage, and return south in just about
the time 1t would take to make the CHASTITY
trip that was made.

The Process. of cleaning clothes.

The mystery to many people how
The scourers of old clothes can make
hem almost as good as new isexplain-
I'd in The American Analyst as fol.
lows: Take, for instance, shiny old
coat, vest or pair of pants, of broad
cloth, cashmere, or diagonal. The
'courer makes strong, warm soap
suds, and plunges the'garment into it,
souses it up and down, rubs the dirty
places; if necessary, puts it through a
second time; then rinses it through
several waters and hangs it to dry on
the line. When nearly dry he takes
Z in, rolls it up for an hour or two,
and then presses it. An old cotton
cloth is laid on the outside OF the
coat and the iron passed over that un-
til the wrinkles are out, but the iron
is removed from the goods before the
steam ceases to rise from the goods,
else they would be shiny. Wrinkles
that are obstinate are removed by lay
ing a wet cloth over them and passing
the iron over that. If any shiny
places are seen they are treated as the
wrinkles are-the iron is lifted while
the full cloud of steam rises and
brings the nap up with it. Cloths
should have suds made specially for
them, as in that which has been used
in white cotton or wooden clothes lint
will be left in the water and cling to
the cloth. In this manner we have
known the same coat and pantaloons
to be renewed time and time again,
and have all the look and feel of new
garments. Good broadcloth and its
fellow cloths will bear many wash
ings, and look better every time be-
cause of them. The same treatment
may be applied to women's dress
goods. If all wool they may be reno
waited to look like new.

Significant Fact Regarding the Iceman's
Cards-The Trunk Key.

Significant Fact Regarding the Iceman's
Cards-The Trunk Key.
CHICAGO, Nov. AT the resumption of
work in the Cronin murder trial yesterday
r. 7. Stanton, proprietor Of the Lake View
Record, swore that he printed Iceman OSul-
livan's business cards. The first lot with an
ice wagon printed in red on the face was de-
livered on May 2. 1t was one Of this lot of
cards that the decoy gave DR.. Cronin.
Capt. Villiers, of the Lake View police,
swore that when found, the famous trunk
contained some wet and bloody cotton bat
ting, some liquid and some CONCEALED blood
and q lock of hair. He was not allowed to
say whether or not DIR. Cronin's barber said
the hair was Dr. Cronin's. The captain iden-
titled the trunk.
The Boy Who identified Kunxe.
William L. James, l6-year-old boy,
swore that he saw the defendant Kunze sit
ting at window in the room on Clark street
to which "Simonds" had the furniture
bought from Revel's first taken--before it
was hauled to the cottage. He
was positive in his Identification,
pointing Kunzs out among the de-
PENDANTS without hesitation. He was at the
time in his fathers office, opposite "Simond's"
room, and overlooking the same
Capt. Wing, of the Lake View police, tes-
titled that the key Of the trunk had some
yellow paint on one end similar to that with
which the Carlson cottage floor had been
painted after the murder.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1889-11-15

and rough attempt to paint the floor had
been made; they seemed to have simply
poured the paint on; there were but few
brush marks He saw blood stains on the
base boards and in the middle of tho floor.
The furniture was broken in some cases and
seemed to indicate a struggle having taken
place in the room.
Old Mrs. Carlson's Testimony.
Mrs. Carlson, ST., the next witness, COR
roborated the testimony of the other men,
bers of her family. The only time she saw
the man who rented the cottage and called
himself Frank Williams was when he called
to pay the second months rent, on April 30,
except when she was taken to the county
jail to identify Bourk after his return from
winnipeg. When asked to identify the lessee
OF the cottage, the old lady, without hest
fancy, pointed directly at Bourk. This was
the third Identification Of Bourk by the Carl
son family, but beyond flush on his face he
did not seem affected by it.
She said further that the second week at
ter the 4th Of May a short, fat little man
called at her house and wanted to pay the
rent for the next month, saying Frank Will
liam sent him. Mrs. Carlson refused, as the
renters did not move in. He wanted to keep
the rooms anyhow, but she refused, as she
wanted to sell the house and wanted it so it
could be looked over by possible pur-
chasers.
Bourk's Fourth Identification.
Hakan Martenson, the expressman who
hauled the furniture from III South Clark
street to the cottage, was the next and last
witness of the day. He, too, recognized
Bourk as the man who hired him to do the
work. and, with the aid of another stranger,
assisted him in loading and unloading the
goods. The bloody trunk was again brought
into court, and the witness said it was ex-
actly like the one he hauled. Martenson saw
Bourk three or four times afterward pass
ing his stand at Chicago avenue and Mar
ket street, and again at Winni-
peg. Bourk seemed more worried
over his Identification by this witness
than by any Of the preceding witnesses. He
flushed very red and looked troubled, and
ever after kept steady gaze on the express
man. The cross-examination developed the
fact that Martenson had received pay while
In the care Of the police, and that now he
has city job taking care of horses in
patrol stable. Court then adjourned until
Monday morning.

Decorating Cheap Cigars.

There was an article in The Globe
Democrat the other day exposing some
of the secrets of the cigar trade, but
there was one little trick that was not
mentioned. I refer to the new scheme
of wrapping up or labelling cheap CT
CARS. Some of the choicest and most
costly Havanas are always either
wrapped in a peculiar kind of paper
or have a gilt band round them,
and lately manufacturers or packers
have thought of the plan of putting
up cheap cigars in similar style. I
have had ON my counter two boxes
side by side filled with precisely SINH
lar cigars, but only those in one box
with collars. This box would only
last three or four days, while the other
one would last as many weeks. Smok-
ers of cheap cigars who are not par
ticular as to flavor always seem to ia
vor a decorated smoke, and expect
before long the little garnishments
mentioned will be used exclusively
for cheap brands, and used for them
very generally. - Interview in st.

Murder Trial.

The Blood-Stained Trunk in which DIR.
Carlson Cottage Brought into Court
and Identified by the Man Who Sold
It to Simonds-Trial Proceedings.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The papers this morn
ing print story from Winnipeg, Man, to
the effect that while in Jail there Martin
Burke confessed to one Gillett, convict,
that he, man named Dennis, Cooney, and
Dan Coughlin, killed DIR. Cronin, tried
to sink his body in the lake, and failing in
that, put 1t in the manhole where found.
Deputy States attorney Baker has been in
Winnipeg investigating this matter, and
when he returns the truth may be known.
What the Witnesses Swore.
The bloody trunk was shown yesterday in
the courtroom, and caused great craning
Of necks among the audience. w. p. Hat
field, of Revel's furniture house, was on the
stand at the time, and he declared the trunk
exactly similar to one he sold man named
Simonds some time before the murder. He
said Simonds bought at the same time some
furniture, which witness atterward saw in
the Carlson cottage--that is, furniture just
like Simonds bought-and carpet which
he has never seen since. He described
Simonds, but the description would fit hun
dreds of men.
CoughIin's Reckless Ways.
"Major" Sampson, an all-around crook Of
the first water, swore that Dan Coughlin
asked him about two years ago to "slug"
DR.. Cronin, and this testimony was corrob-,
Grated by another crook. George Reilly, a
barkeeper, swore that he heard Dan Cough
lin say that there was north side Catholic
who was talking too much. and had better
stop. This was corroborated by j. A.
Quinn. William O'Keefe swore to hearing
John F. Beggs declare that Cronin was not a
patriot nor an honest member Of the clan.
Three other witnesses testified to the renting
and vacating of the room at III Clark street
by the mysterious Simonds

Ancient Bridges in China.

The Chinese suspension bridges, dat
ing from the time of the Han dynasty
I02 B. 9. to 220 A. d. furnish strik-
ing evidence of the early acquaintance
of the Chinese with engineering
science. According to the historical
and geographical writer's of China, it
was Shang Lieng, the commander Of
the army under Kaen Tsu, who under
took the construction of the roads in
the province of Shense, to the west of
the capital, the high mountains and
deep gorges of which made communi-
cation difficult, and which could be
reached only by circuitous routes. At
the head of an army of 10000 work
men, Shang Lieng cut through noun
tains and filed up the valley with the
soil from the excavations. At other
places, where the mountains were sep
arated by deep gorges, he carried out
a plan of throwing suspension
bridges stretching from one slope to
the other. These bridges, appropri-
ately called by the Chinese writers
'fying" bridges, are sometimes so
high as to inspire those who cross
them with fear. At the present day
there is still a bridge in existence in
Shense, 400 feet long, which stretches
across a gorge Of immense depth.
Most of the bridges are only wide
enough to allow of the passage of two
mounted men, ratings on both sides
serving for the protection of travellers.
1t is not improbable that the mission
aries who first reported on Chinese
bridges two centuries ago gave the in
itiative to the construction of suspen-
sion bridges in the west.-Iron.
