man Foran, of Cleveland; M. J. Ryan,

The following is synopsis of long
series of resolutions to be presented for
adoption this afternoon. They pledge
support to the cause of liberty In
Ireland and to Parnell and Gladstone,
and, concerning DR.. Cronin's murder,
denounce 1t as the most heinous crime
of the nineteenth century, and con-
tinue:
1--WE also denounce with no less We
hemence the infamous crime of attempt
ing to place the responsibility for that
assassination upon the Irish people by
defaming the honorable reputation of
our murdered fellow citizen"
The resolutions declare that here in
Chicago was the plot conceived,
planned and executed; and demand
that the instigators of the crime, as well
as their dupes, be punished regardless
of whether they masquerade in The gar
ments of patriotism or hide behind a
deceived people,"
The resolutions then declare that the
cause of Ireland has been retarded and
the friends Of Ireland split up into
factions by designing men who sin the
name of Ireland called for your money,
and in the name of Ireland failed to
account for it, and they attempt to
brand as British spy the man who
was appointed to investigate these
great crimes, and in the name of Ire
land they led their criminals and dupes
to the Carlson cottage and murdered
DR.. Cronin."
Resolutions conclude with glowing
tribute to DR.. Cronin's memory.

Missouri road near Lincoln, Neb., on

The result of the autopsy to ascertain
the cause of the death of Congressman

each indictment-the maximum penal
ty fer the otiense. Allen looked pale
and downhearted. When he reached
the court room lie was met by his coun-
sci, Lawyer Eustis, ana his brother Ell
mer L. Allen. Lawyer Eustis tried to
cheer Alien up, but did not succeed
very well.
The court room was crowded at IL
o'clock when Judge Gildersleeve enter
ed court. When asked what he had to
say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced upon him, Allen turned and
looked at his counsel, but did not utter
a syllable. Mr.. Eustis after some de-
liberation said there was nothing to add
to what had already been presented in
regard TO the previous good character of
the prisoner. Judge Gildersleeve then
pronounced sentence.
Allen turned sickly pale as he was
led back to the pen. He looked around
the court room. None of his friends,
except his brother, were present. Even
his wife, whose extravaganza is said to
have been the cause of her husband q
ruin, failed to come to court.

COLLOM'S LARGE BAIL BOND.

Ynnnp M an Ont of Jail.

It Will Require 90, 900 Surety to Get the
Young Man Out of Jail.
The Collom forgery case was again in
court at Minneapolis on the 18th. At
late hour the previous evening his
friends secured the SOL 800 bail bond
necessary for his release. but the prose-
cution were also on hand and prepared
for this move, and Immediately fled
three additional complaints against
the prisoner. This increased the
amount of bail required, and
Colon was returned to jail.
He was again brought before the court
and three more complaints were forth
coming. The total number of COM
plants filed against Colon up to this
time were thirty-three. The sum it will
be necessary to raise in order to effect
Collom's release now aggregates $1O2.-
500. The probability is that the state
will consent to an even 100000 bond.
It is stated that no more complaints will
be fled. ColIoms friends are said to
be ready to meet this bail and the
young attorney will doubtless be re-
leased in the course of few days.

OUTLOOK OF TRADE.
Banks Amply Supplied With Funds, anC
Crop Prospects Excellent.

BANKS amply supplied with Funuss ana
Crop Prospects Excellent.
r. G. Dun & Co., in their last weekly
review of trade, say: In all directions
business prospects continue encourag-
ing, and the changes during the past
week have been on the right side. EX
ports increase and speculative rise
in breadstuffs has been checked. In
terror cities report an increase in the
volume of trade, and the money mar
kets continue amply supplied, though
rates are gradually hardening. The great
industries appear to be in fully as good
cond ition as last week, with clearer
evidence of improveme in iron.
Further crop news sustalns government
advices, and strenethens the prevailing
impression that the August report as to
wheat was less favorable than the actual
situation. Considering that all the rail-
roads, according to Poor's Review, paid
only $79, 999, 900 in dividends last year, a
decrease of one-eighth compared with
1887, and less than per cent. on the
stock reported. the restoration of peace
this year should have produced a
relatively greater change than has yet
appeared.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number, for the United
States l8l, and for Canada 80, total of
2l3, as compared with total of 201 last
week and 2l0 the week previous. For
the corresponding week last year tho
figures were 219, made up of 1877 in the
United States and 80 in Canada.

Little 2-year-olG Sophie Schwab in
voluntarily became balloonist at Chi
cago on the 18th, and was waited high
up over the broad bosom of Lake Mich
igan. A riheman's skill saved the
child's life. The exciting incident took
place at Sheffield Park, and was wit
messed by 800 picnickers. An Ital-
ial peddler of toy balloons attempted to
serve two purchasers at once, and in
doing so let 90 his string of bright
colored globes. The cord got twisted
about Sophie's left arm and her hair
and the buoyant rubber bubbles started
heavenward, taking the youthful
aeronaut along. Sophie's mother
shrieked and tainted. The bv-standers
stood horror-stricken, scarcely breath
ing as the balloons swept close to large
oak tree and the infant grasped a hand
full of twigs and checked her flight A
muscular young German was ascending
the tree In an instant, and then crept
out on the branch nearest the
child. At this moment Sophies
puny strength gave out and the
balloons, suddenly released, went
again upward and at least 100 feet,
drifting then out over the lake. Gust
Koch, sharpshooter who was attend
ing the picnic with his repeating rifle,
hurrledly jumped into skitf with two
companions and pulled ont into range.
Koch succeeded In piercing several of
the balloons, each successful shot help
ing the bunch to descend. Before it
finally reached the water the boat was
at the spot, and little Sophie did not
even get her feet wet.

-TraMps Suspected.
A dispatch of the 18th from Portland,
Ore, says: The atmosphere for miles
around is thick with smoke and cinders,
and burning brands are falling in show
ers. All the Northwestern country
seems to be burning up in forest fires.
The smoke has been 80 dense in Port
land for the last two or three
weeks that for time 1t was
impossible to see far up the
street, and the sun and moon looked
like great balls of fire. In the harbor
the smoke has had the effect of fog, and
steamers have been required to blow
their whistles every few minutes to
avoid collisions. 1t ls estimated that
the total damage by forest fires in the
nearly 100000. Several farm houses
have been burned with the stables and
produce and stores, with quantities of
wheat of this years crop. Thousands
of cords of wood have been consumed.
Yesterday the flames swooped down
upon the settlement of Cedar Mills and
lett the country barren. The people in
some instances had scarcely time to es-
cape and had to hurry through the
woods, the fire being so thick along the
regular road. An extensive fire is rag
ing in Southern Oregon, south of Rose
bud, and number Of houses have been
burned. Some of the forest fires are
the work of tramps. If they are not
treated we'll at any place they start for
est fires out of revenge. A number
were run out of McLean's settlement in
Southern Oregon the other day and tax
ing to the woods started fire. It was
discovered in time and extinguished
and posse of men started after the
tramps and captured three. Ropes
were put about their necks and they
were strung up for some time and then
let down and thrashed soundly.

PARIS, Aug. 15.-The sentence i'm
posed upon Gen. Boulanger, Count
Dillon and Henri Rochefort, by the Sem
ate court yesterday, occasioned no ex-
element in this city. Thus far the
utmost quietness has prevailed. The
Republican journals are convinced that
public opinion will ratify tire de-
cree of the court. The Corserva-
tive and Boulangist papers are sanguine
that the general elections for members
of the Chamber of Deputies will show
that the people do not approve of the
verdict. 1t is alleged that M. Wad-
dington, French ambassador to En-
gland, has been instructed to sound the
English government on the question of
extraditing Gen Boulanger, Count Dill
Ion and Henri Rochefort.
