CHICAGO, October 11.-Three new sus.
poets were arrested by the police this
afternoon for alleged completely in the
murder OF DR.. Cronin. The greatest
mystery prevails around the Criminal
Court building where the men are con.
fined. The first information of these
important proceedings was given by the
States Attorney in Judge McConnell's
court room at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
when Judge Longenecker asked that the
court adjourn until tomorrow. He said he
had important business regarding some
new developments of the case, and
would be busy. Judge McConnell granted
the request. Chief of Police Hubbard
Captain Schuttler, Judge Longeneckel
and Attorneys Mills and Ingham at once
went to the States Attorneys office
where they held long consultation be-
hind closed doors. The three prisoners
were shortly after taken into the States
Attorneys Office, and other men were
brought in during the afternoon and
evening. The utmost secrecy was pre-.
served by every one in authority.
At IL 80 tonight eeven men were in
the States Attorneys Office, presumably
undergoing examination. At that hour
Attorney Mills came out, and to score

ment made by the States Attorney early
in the evening, that absolutely no infor

At midnight Chief Hubbard emerged
from his private Office and went out, but
soon returned with q man bearing good
supply of eatables. This would indicate
the secret session to be an all night one
Soon after an assistant States Attorney
came in with young woman, who was
hurried into a private office. Some
thought she was Mrs. Tom Whalen, sister
of ex-Detective Coughlin. A little later
two detectives appeared with a short
thick-set man, apparently Irish, in tow
and this makes nine arrests today anc
tonight.
Two stories are afloat late tonight ir
regard to the matter. One is that somt
new and exceedingly important informa
ton in regard to the murder has beer

than an attempt at jury.fixing has come
to light. The State, it is known, has

exaggerated statements of intending

MAYOR HAZARD yesterday vetoed the
ordinance reducing the salaries of the
Police force and of the call men and
other employees Of the City Council. He
makes quite a strong point where he
refers to the continued failure of the
Council to let out the city's moneys to a
bank which has offered to pay sum for
their custody which the Mayor says will
amount to from $4,000 to 1000 year.
Whether the Council will yield to the
force of his Honor's arguments remains
to be seen. 1t is exceeding doubtful.

The Color Line Creates a Long and
Heated Discussion.


WORCESTER, Mass, October 1l.-At to-
days session of the Congregational
Council the special committee on the
Georgia question submitted report
recommending the enrolment of s. G.
Mcdaniel and s. E. Basaett, represent
ing the Atlantic and Flint River District
Conferences, and that Rev. A. F. Sheriff.
of Atlanta, be given seat as an honorary
member. The discussion on the admis-
sion OF the Georgia delegation was
then resumed. Mr.. Maxwell, a
colored delegate from Georgia.
made long speech against the admis-
sion OF the Georgia white delegation, and
said the white Congregationalists there
would not fraternize with the colored. If
admitted, it would drive colored men
into the Catholic or some other church.
DR.. Quint, of Boston, opposed admitting
all the Georgia white delegates, except
one State delegate. The discussion
brought out the views OF many promi-
nent members.
The committees resolution was finally
adopted. At the afternoon meeting it
was decided to hold the next session in

The Sewer Committee of the Council
and the Citizens Committee had an
other long conference yesterday after
noon, but as yet they have not come to
any agreement. The general sentiment
seems to lean to the adoption of plan
for sewering the city, leaving the outfall

Such conclusion would meet the views

A FAMILY CHEMATED.
Horrible Effect of an Explosion of
Natural Gas.

BRADFORD, Pa, October 11.-At Davis
Switch, small village thirteen miles
from this place, the dwelling of Patrick
Daily was burned and his wife and three
sons, aged -, IL and respectively,
were roasted in the flames. Last night,
while the family were at supper, the
father stepped to the cook stove to turn
off part of the natural gas. He unin-
tentionally shut the throttle tight,
and on reversing it again the
house became filed with gas, an
explosion followed, and in an instant
the entire house was in flames. The
three boys and mother fell PROSTATE on
the floor, overpowered by the heat and
flames. Daily rushed out of the house
to call for assistance, but all efforts to
save the unfortunate inmates was futile.
Daily was severely but not fatally burned,
and is almost crazed with grief.

Great Shortage I'm Shipments from

SAN Francisco, October 11.-F. L.
Goodsell, who sells California fruit at
auction in New York, writes as follows,
under date of October 9Th:
"Cable received from Almeria, Spain,
today, says that shipments will end
about October 18th, and that instead of
$50 900 barrels We expected to get, as
against 225, 900 last year, we shall only
have about 100000. This shortage
will cause very high prices
to rule on Spanish grapes,
and this ought to help sales of Califor-
MAS. So lar this season we received and
sold IL 1873 barrels of Almerias, which
will average fully 81 per barrel of about
forty pounds net. The highest price
made so far this season is for lot of
fourteen barrels l sold at $3.50 per
barrel.

THE NEW REFORM SCHOOL.

Kilron Bros, of Minneapolis, Get
the Contract for the Basement.
The board of managers o f the state
reform school, met in monthly session,
In Room B at the Merchants yesterday.
There was a morning session at which
the routine business of the board was
disposed of, including the allowing of
bills aggregating So, 559.12. and the con-
sidering of applications from inmates
of the school for Burroughs. An ad-
journment was taken at noon and an
other session held at o'clock in the
afternoon. The business done then
was of more importance than that
transacted in the forenoon, as it con-
sisted of the opening of sealed bids for
the excavation and the construction of
the foundations fer the proposed new
school building at Red Wing. The
bids, numbering ten in all, were as fol-
lows:
Siskran, Emery & Hunt, St. Paul, S31 ,O95;
o. Peterson d Co., Minneapolis, S35, 509
without the excavating); Slaster d Smith,

Case Wound I'm at Last.


Case Wound Up at Last.
An important decision was rendered

affirmation of the lower courts judg-
ment and order refusing new trial in
the land litigation cases Of W. Frank
Newell and j. J. Fulton. appellants,
VS.. Thomas Cochran and SilaS B.
Walsh, respondents, and W. F. Newell
and j. F. Fulton, respondents. VS.. Earl
A. Holdridge, appellant. The case
grew out of an agreement between the
parties to purchase certain property be-
tween this city and Minneapolis for
speculative purposes, each to be equally
Interested financially, and an agree
ment entered into that the title remain
In the name of one of the
purchasers for the general benefit.
One induced the others to sell tor a
price which, though representing the
full value of the property. did not fully
compensate the other parties to the sale
after the manner of the agreement en-
tered into, as by a secret agreement
entered into with the purchasers of the
property by Holdredge, he was to retain
his share of the property in the form of
a one-third interest in the purchasing
syndicate, composed of Messrs. Cochran
and Walsh with one Moore, or sell the
same to the syndicate at such advance
over the price paid for the balance of
the property as might be agreed on. 1t
was agreed by them and Holdredge that
Moore should negotiate with Newell,
offer him $4,000 for the property, and
if purchase we're made, hold the same for
the syndicate and Holdredge.
In consultation with the other parties
to the original agreement, Holdridge
advised plaintiff to sell, stating his
willingness to sell at the price offered.
The court found that as to Holdridge
having sold his interest for
larger sum than the plaintiff, the evil
dence in the case was insufficient, and
held that the contest was one virtually
concerning the proceeds actually paid
by Cochran & Walsh and their associ-
ates to one of the parties who stood in
the relation of partners to each other.
The case would have been different had
the parties been fraudulently induced
to sell for less than the value of the
property. In such case, if Cochran &
Walsh had been parties to the fraud,
they might have been made responsible
for the damage. Judgment of the lower
court is affirmed.

TOILERS TERRORIZED.
German Police Refuse to Permit
Workmen to Confer.


BERLIN, Aug. 6.-The German police
everywhere throughout the empire are
treating with greater rigor the assem-
blages of workmen in the larger cities,
and at the slightest provocation, or at
no provocation at all, such meetings are
broken up or prohibited in advance. A
suspicion that strike Is intended or
that the wisdom of ordering strike is
about to be discussed, is sufficient war
rant for police interference, although,
of course, the reasons stated are always
different. A meeting of workmen in
Munich had been arranged for to-day to
hear the report of Herr Voltmer,
their representative at the re-
cent congress of Marxist social
lists in Paris. The police, how
ever, posted placards in different parts
of the city yesterday and advertised in
the newspapers proclamation forbid
ding the meeting to be held. At the
appointed time to-day strong force of
police was on hand at the place desig-
mated for the meeting and allowed no
one to approach. The Indignation
among the more radical of the liberty
loving German workmen is intense, and
is certain to find expression notwith-
standing all the precautions of the gov
eminent.
