LONDON, Sept 5-Rev. ]. G. Gregory,
incumbent of Emanuel church, Brighton,
is in hot water. He preached at a public
meeting at which Fulton, ian American
lectured. In the course of the lecture
Fulton said ''the Virgin Mary was not much
of a virgin,'' and much more to the same
effect This profane utterance was brought
to the attention of the bishop of Chichester
who in a most temperate letter calls upon
Mr.. Gregory to disavow any agreement
with Fulton'S statement.

The CrO1in Case.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Proceedings in the
Cronin trial were resumed this morning.
The first thing that occupied the attention
of the court was the petition of Attorney
Forest for the defense. He asks that ex
perts of the defense be allowed to examine
specimens of the blood stains in the trunk
and Carlson cottage and cotton batting
and towel found in the catch basin. The
court decided that it might be done if the
state were represented by its experts at
the time of the experiments. Forest tried
hard to get the court experts for the defense
to allow specimens from the walls of
the Carlson cottage. Judge Mcconnell de-
clined to take any action on that point.
Then the examination of the talesmen was
resumed.
Up to the close of to-day's session the de.
tense had exhausted twenty of their per
emptory challenges, nineteen on behalf OF
Daniel Coughlin and one on behalf of Pat
rick O'Sullivan. After administering the
oath to number of additional yeniremen,
the court adjourned until 10 am. tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-In an official re-
port to the department of justice, under
date of August 81, Marshal Franks says
the department he had constantly exer-
cised the utmost caution for the protec-
ton of Justice Field and Judge Sawyer
from violence by d. S. Terry and wife.
| OF the assault in the dining room at Lath-
rop, Marshal Franks says Terry struck
Justice Field twice before Deputy Mar
shall Maggie interfered. He continues
Terry was man of very large physique
and of great strength. His passions were
apparently beyond his own con-
troll, and he was most ready
with a knife, weapon which
he himself declared he had habitually
carried for thirty years. Nagle is a man
of slight build and well knew Terry's
violent character and skill with weapons.
When he saw good reason to believe that
Terry so far from being deferred by the
Official warning TO STOP was desperately
determined to take the life of Justice Field
and his, Nagle's own life, Nagle, prevented
it in the only way any reasonable person
conversant with the facts will pretend he
could have done. 1t will be clearly shown
that there were not two seconds between
Justice Fields life and the shot from
Accompanying the repCr5 are number of
exhibits containing information in connec-
ton with the tragedy and proceedings. One
of them is a pamphlet giving an account
of the contempt proceedings before Judge
Sawyer in.September, 1888, when, Marshal
Franks says, Terry desperately resisted
my officers, hourishing a knife and endeav-
oring to do violence, Notwithstanding the
pistol of Deputy Taggart levelled at his
head. He was then oVerpowered by a
number of men. At Lathrop he had every
advantage and was on the point of complet-
ing his desperate enterprise with only
Maggie and Justice Field to oppose him"
Another exhibit is Judge Sawyer's nara
ton of the facts attending gross insult to
hin by Mrs. Terry on the train between
Los Angeles and San Francisco, August
IA. 1888, while in company with her hus-
band, which has been greatly exaggerated
by Mrs. Terry's accounts of
it. The judge says Mrs. Terry
merely twitched his hair where
it was short as she passed him in the aisle
of the car. He hardly felt it and no one but
himself, Mr.. and Mrs. Terry and a Mr.
Cowles noticed the action. Later on the
trip. the judge says, Mrs. Terry contem-
plated an assault upon him with her para
sol, but was deferred from attempting it by
the presence and attitude OF two passengers
to whom Judge Sawyer had spoken of the
pulling incident, and requested them to OBJ
serve the future actions Of the TerryS
closely.
In a subsequent letter Marshal Franks
denies the statements of certain papers that
Nagle was killer" of the border ruffian
type and asserts that his reputation was
that of peaceable and law abiding man,
but of much courage, which has been
proven on several occasions

AM UnderstandIng Arrived AL.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Cable.I
LONDON, Sept 5.-The first nail has been
driven in the coffin of the dock companies
by the decision of the strike committee
given at O'Clock this morning. The wharf
owners have expressed their willingness to
every item in the laborers' demands, pro
vided they returned to work at once. The
terms were considered for six hours by the
leaders of the men who agreed to accept
them and allow the men employed by the
wharfingers to return to work to-day.
This will enable the latter to unload and
load their cargoes along the side of their
own wharves and in the river, and pursue
their business as heretofore. Naturally the
shippers will send their goods to the
wharves where immediate handling is as
sured in preference to the docks where the
strike will be continued. The inevitable
effect of this policy will be that the dock
companies, finding the business of their
competitors on the river front going on as
usual. will be forced to submit to the de-
mand of the men or drive their customers
to those who are able to handle their goods.
A complete victory for the laborers is there
fore probable.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch.
LONDON, Sept 3, 1SS9-The joint dock
committee is hydra-headed and ever pops
up. Thejoint dock committee gained one
point yesterday by conceding one. It &C
copied the proposition of the ship owners
to appoint conference committee with
power to arrange the details of plan by
which the ship owners should be allowed
to pay the men who have heretofore been
paid by dock companies. A communication
to this effect was sent to the ship owners
at noon Yesterday AS the ship owners do
not meet until noon and as some time must
elapse before the committee on details can
begin work-for nothing is done off hand
here-it is possible that the strikers will
be starved into submission before the COM
mittee has finished its work. How long
that work will take will depend upon the.
willingness of the joint dock committees
representatives to agree with the ship own
er's representatives on the disputed
points. ~. 30 sarj
The Joint dock committee is running
waiting race, and all depends on the stay
ing qualities of the strikers. They are
good stayers, as few of them have had two
square meals a day for three weeks. The
mel employed by the wharfingers on the
y
won: the wharhngers have conceded 6
pence per hour for regular work and 8
pence for overwork, but want to deduct
4 pence Il penny for three quarters of an
hour taken for dinner. The leaders will
not come to this point, but it is almost GER
tain that about three thousand men will
return to work this morning on these
terms.
John Burns said yesterday that there
was dock strike at Liverpool, and he
promised to organize one to-day at Glas-
Cow and another at Southampton the day
after The chances are against his sue
cess. Dispatches from Liverpool state
that the strike there is ended, the men
gaining their fight.
Southampton is so busy on account of
the London strike that the men there will
hardly be induced to come out, and Glas
Cow is in much the same condition. 1t is
an illustration of the magnitude of the
strike and the restitution Of the strikers
that 100000 tickets, each of the value Of
one shilling, were distributed yesterday,
and these tickets by no means represent all
the relief afforded.

The Chain Of evidence Complete.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Inspector Byrnes'
chain of evidence against the Robert Ray
Hamilton conspirators is now complete,
the last link in the shape of the identif
cation of the stem dollar baby'' by the mid
wife who sold it, having been welded to it
to day. Joshua Mann told the inspector
to day that Mrs. Hamilton had shown him
a viii her husband had made in her favor.
1t provided in the event of his death that
all his money, family iewelry and plate
should go to her and the child, and she was
to be the custodian of the child till she be-
came of age Ray once fell from his horse
and broke his leg,' she remarked to Joshua.
HE may fall again and break his neck, and
then, Josh, will marry you.' To the mind
of the inspector this indicates that Eva was
not married to MSnn. The inspector will
not give the name of the mother of the bogus
Hamilton baby. He says she is and was
when the child was born, a married woman
moving in good society.

domestic Life of Eva and "Dotty.'


Especial to TIE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch |
ELMIRA. Sept. 5.-The disclosures made
in the Eva Hamilton case were the sensa-
ton of the day here. DR.. Barnet Morse
was seen again by an Examiner representa-
tive in regard to his professional visits to
Mrs. Hamilton, or, as she then called her
self Mrs. Mann, during her stay with
Joshua Mann in this city early last winter.
"They came to Elmira," said the doctor,
q and registered at the Delavan house DC
tober 6. They remained at the hotel two
or three days. While there / was sent for
and treated the woman for indigestion
there was nothing more the matter with
her. After leaving the hotel they took up
their residence in a small one-story house.
1t is an insignificant looking domlcile, No
365 West Third. Why they should select
this huvel for residence while appearing
to have plenty of money, l am at loss to
know. The woman paid me promptly Tor
my services, in fact more than asked.
While they lived in West Third street
was called a number of times to see Mrs.
Mann, and always found the same trouble
-indigestion-to contend with Every
time called found her husband, Joshua, IN
a drunken stupor. He appeared to be an
insignificant person and scarcely realized
what he said or did.
SIN regard to the Woman'S claim that a
child was born to her on December II, II IS
q gigantic falsehood. She and Mann came
to my Office a day or two before Christmas :;
she said she was going to New York. She
was well then, but seemed annoyed at her
husband, whom, she said, she would take
to New York and contine in an inebriate
asylum. Joshua took exception to this and
said, My dear, let our private family af-
fairs alone, the doctor don't want to hear
them, and if he did it would be no good. "
It is now probable at least that the plot
was directed not only against MIR. Hamll-
ton but against his life as well, and that
the ultimate object of the harpies was to
induce him to make a will in favor of the
child and then to get rid of him.
Assistant District Attorney Becom
said yesterday afternoon after the hearing
in the case of John Mann and Mr.. Swim
ton had been adjourned until Friday, IF
these people had been left alone, they
would have made Hamilton make will to
suit them and then have killed him."
Inspector Byrnes and Mr.. Clark, counsel
! fer Mrs. Hamilton, refused to talk of this
aspect of the case, further than to say that
| it would be a difficult thing to prove such a
! fact in connection with the case, unless 1t
should turn out that Mr.. Hamilton had
really been induced by the gang to make a
will. 1t was intimated that this was not
| the case Another thing that came out
yesterday was that Eva Parsons, Briel,
I Steel, Mann, or whatever her name was,
endeavored when she was about to marry
Hamilton to get rid of Josh by having him
put in an insane asylum. An eminent
| specialist whom she employed to examine
Josh and report him insane, refused, how
ever, to find anything wrong about the fell
! lows brains, and this little plot within a
plot fell through

mends President Harrison's foreign pol
icy; recognizes the necessity of a revision
of the protective tariff, but insists that it
must be made by its friends instead of its
enemies: denounces the Democracy for a
second attempt to force American labor
into competition with the pauper labor of
Europe: recognizes the right of labor to or
ganize for self-protection; acknowledges
the debt of gratitude to the soldiers of the
late war; favors liberal appropriations for
river and coast defense and the navy, and
also favors legislation restoring the mer-
chant marine, demands settlement of the
alien land question and the forfeiture OF
unearned railroad grants, and commends
the wisdom of the constitutional conven-
ton in submitting separate articles on
woman suffrage and prohibition.

Judge Field restiies.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 5.-The principal
witness in the Nagle habeas corpus case
to-day was Justice Field, of the United
States supreme court. He detailed the
events in connection with the case the past
year and the shooting at Lathrop. In re-
spouse to questions, he expressed the opin-
ion that if Ma l. had not shot Terry, he,
Field, would have been dead within min
ute. TIE expression of Terry's face
when he rlised his hand to strike a second
time could not be mistaken. 1t was full
of malice and murder Justice Field de-
cIared he never had trouble of any kind
with Terry prior to the rendering of the
Judgment in the Sharon case, He added
that the story of his having asked Terry
to support him for the presidential nominal
ton several years ago was pure fiction.

that the work done by the detectives IN I'M
travelling the Hamilton fraud has never
been surpassed in this city. So skilIful
were the Investigations of Inspector
Byrnes and mis- assistants that every step
in the conspiracy is not only laid bare, but
the necessary proofs are all at hand. They
know almost to the least detail OF the pro-
ceedure of the conspirators throughout.
They know the place where each OF the
four children was secured and every detail
of the procurement and disposition Of the
infants.
Mr. Hamilton telegraphed to Mrs. Rupp,

The Examiner correspondent found "a
precedent, in some respects, for this remark

spiracy of 1857.
On January 30 of that year, Harvey Bur-
dell, rich but dissolute dentist, was muir.
dered in his house on Bond street. His
tenant, Mrs Cunningham, was arrested
for the murder, but finally acquitted.
Alter her acquittal she produced what pur-
ported to be a marriage certificate between
the murdered man and herself, showing
that their union took place in the previous
October. Then she proceeded to enforce
her right to dover jim the estate. This,
however, was net enough, and she began to
scheme to obtain all She arranged to buy
baby and pass it off as the dead dentist S
The doctor she attempted to secure as a
co conspirator told District Attorney Oak
lev all of the plot, and Mrs. Cunningham
was again arrested, but she managed to
secure a second acquittal as well, although
she had actually secured an infant from
Bellevue hospital. A strange circum-
stance is found in the fact that the
presiding justice on that trial, Judge Pea
body. was an uncle of Robert Ray Hamll-
ton, the victim of the present conspiracy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Itwas announced
yesterday that the President would appoint
a commissioner of the general land Office
before departing for Philadelphia in the
afternoon, but the name of the gentleman
who is to occupy this position has not been

John R. Thomas, of Illinois, is confident of
his appointment, but his confidence is no
greater than thai of q number of others
who are understood to be in the field for
the position; and the interior department
people express the same degree of ignor-
ance upon the subject which has pervaded
that department since the resignation of
