The Convention Adjourns After an In-
 teresting Session.
 LYNN, Nass., Got. 25.-At the Universal ist convention today the Rev. Dr. Riddle, of Mass, presented the report of the committee on official reports. The committee recog- nize the valuable scr vices of the retiring treasurer, MT. Stevenson Taylor. They recommended the appropriation called for by the trustees. The report was taken up by sections.
 The first section was adopted without de- bate, relating to Mr. Taylor. The second section appropriated $2,000 for salaries, $1, ,0o0 for incidental expenses, 1000 for scholarships. $1e,0 assessment each, fer 1890 and 1891, and gave power to provide for additional revenue. Adopted without debate.
 Section 8 mentioned the increased contri. buttons, but regretted that so many strong churches gave nothing, and recommended that vigorous appeals be made for more money. It was adopted without debate.
 Section 4 recommended more accurate and extended statistical returns, because the fig ures of contributions are not all returned and the denomination is not credited with it's real strength and activity.
 Dr. Atwood of New York called attention to evident discrepancies in the official fig ures. There are reported te be 10000 Uni versalist families and 3S,000 church mem bsrs. The denomination is much stronger than it is reported to be be. The report was tabled to take up the special assignment, the election of officers.
 The following were elected: President, Hon. H. W. Parker of New Hampshiae; vice press ident, Rev. Dr. J. 8. Cantwell of Illinois; secretary, Rev. Dr. G. L.

 Fer Sioux City.
 M1NxHApoLIs, Oct. 25.-At 10 o'clock this morning the International American exeur- sionists arrived here and listened to an ad- dress of welcome delivered by Mayor Babb at the chamber of commerce.

The Taking Of Evidence Resumed -
 The Doctors Are Unable to state the Direct Cause of pr. Cronin's Death.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The taking of evidence in the Cronin case WAS resumed in the crim- inal court this morning. The prosecution continued the presentation of witnesses whose only testimony was as to tho identi- fcation of the body found in the catch basin as that of Dr. Cronin.
 At the afternoon session Dr. Egbert gave the facts revealed by the autopsy on tho body. He described the wounds at great length and gave 1t as his opinion that death had resulted from them. All of the wounds were upon the head. The skull was not broken. except that a small piece of bone was chipped off at the corner of the eye. The witness then described the condition of the internal organs, and exhibited the stomach and it's contents to the lawyers and the jury. In his judgment the doctor was killed within three hours after having eaten. Cross-ex- animation of Dr. Egbert developed that none of the wounds on the corpse were such as would necessarily cause death. It was impossible, also, the docter admitted, to say W06tu6T bOo WVuuub W0I0 AOQlCbSu U0AOAo OI after death. He had tried to ascertain, but was unable to do SO. He had not ascertained that the wounds affected any important nerves or arteries, and he could not swear that they in any manner affected the brain. If death had resulted from the skull wounds 1t would in all probability have been oaused by soncussion of the brain. The usual post- mortem evidence of such result, the heart and the lungs being filled with blood, was not feund in this case. The question was put to Dr. Egbert:
 'Is it not scientifically true that you phy- sicians found no evidences in that body that were certain and conclusive of the form of deathp'
 Dr. Egbert replied: "That is true"
 "That is the Gods truth Is itF'
 "Yes sir."
 pr. Egbert was of the opinion that death had occurred through excessive loss of blood, but there was no certainty of 1t, he said.
 Dr. Charles W. Perkins, who assisted at post-mortem, testified that in his opinion death had not ensusd from blood-letting, but from conoussion of the brain. Tho latter organ, however, was too decomposed to af- ford any information.
 The last witness of the day was the under taker who removed the body after the post- mortem, and who testified that it remained in his place until buried.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Purchase Of Bonds-An Interests
 ing Penslon Case.
 WASHINGTON, Oot. 25.-Now that tho sinking fund requirements for the present fiscal year have besn fully met by the pur> chase of bonds to-day, tho sole purpose of future bond purchases will be to prevent, 80 far as possible, any undue increase in the treasury surplus. The recent offerings of bonds have been unusually heavy, and the acceptance during tho past two days amounts to about $3,0O0,0 0,0O0. The continued excess of receipts over expenditures has, however, prevented any material reduction of the sur plus. According to the treasurer's statement issued to-day, this now amounts to $46,- 345,00O. The receipts SO far this month aggregate nearly $27, 900, 900, and the ex- psnditures nearly $17,000. 900, making Q net gain of SIG, 0,000, 900 for the month.

It was that of lady who was born under the administration of General Washington, and is now ninety-three years of age.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Michael Davitt Resumes His Speech
 Before the Patnell Commission.
 LONDON, Oct. 25-The Parnell commission to-day again listened to MT. Michael Davitt. He said that eight-tenths of the money which came from America for the support of the Irish cause came from Irish workingnen and workiugwomen. He said that MT. Houston, secretary of the Loyal and Patriotic Union and his accomplices knew that the letters alleged to have been written by MT. Parnell which were printed in the London Times were forgeries before Pigott went into the witness box. He said further that the alleged secret circulars pro- duced by the Times to show that the league was @ revolutionary organization were forger- ies.
 Mr. Davitt proceeded to point out that Mr. Parnell, and not he, formed the land league in America. Le Caron, he declared, had failed to prove the assertion that the Clan-na-asel managed Mr. Parnell's tour in America. No money collected in America had ever been intended to assist armed rebel. lion in Ireland.

 cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can cerous growths, or the many other manifesto tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, 1t is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it.

A Years Report.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-From the annual re- port of Inspector General Dumont of the Washington Steamboat Inspection service 1t is shown that during the fiscal year, ending June s0, 1889, there were B accidents at sea, resulting in the deaths of 301 persons, or S1 more than last year. Of those lost, 92 were passengers and 20 officers or hands on the vessels. It may be remarked, that, as compared with the previous year, there was an increase of 300 in vessels snd 2,081 in the number of officers licensed, and when 1t is considered that 550, ,os0, 900 passengers were carried on steam vessels during the year, one Is forced to acknowledge, with MT. Du- mont. that the efficiency of this important service has been singularly increased. With 73 per cent. less steam vessels in service in 1875, there were 606 deaths by accidents. There has been, therefore, reduction of 54 per cent. in that interesting direction. The inspector general congratulates the suberdin- ate officers for their esprit de corps in faith- fully carrying into effect the laws enacted by Congress, advocates a better schedule of sal aries among his own officers, and condemns the use of naptha gas as motive power.
