GENERAL TOPICS.
Arthur Reelected Chief of
Locomotive Engineers.
HIS CHOICE ALMOST UNANIMOUS.
The Federation QuestiOn-Firemen
Heartily in Favor of It
Other Items.


Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
DENVER, October 2S.-On assembling
at 8 O'Clock this morning the Convention
of Locomotive Engineers proceeded to
put in nomination the candidates FOL
Grand Chief. The Ohio delegation put
in nomination P. M. Arthur. This was
followed by the nomination of Vroman,
of North Platte, Neb.; Vedder, of Sc
dalia, no., and Bellows, of Mississippi.
An informal ballot was called for and
the result showed that Arthur had the
convention almost unanimously. This
great change in the feeling of the dele.
gates is supposed to be the result of the
recent trial and sentence of Grand Officer
Cavener, OF Chicago.
The first formal ballot decided the
question by the following vote: Arthur,
319; Vsdder, 1; Bellows, 1. The con-
vention then adjourned.
On reassembling the convention pro-
ceeded to the election of Third Grand
Engineer. The result was not made
public until tonight, when Chief Arthur
the present incumbent was reelected by
unanimous vote.
Nominations were then made for Sec
ond Grand Assistant Engineer. Hen
drick, of Pennsylvania, and Hayes, of
California, were the favorite candidates,
but after six ballots had been taken
without any result the convention ad-
journed until tomorrow.
During the afternoon the convention
appointed committee to call upon John
J. Hannahan, of Chicago, Vice-Grand
Master of the International Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, who is in the city
attending an alleged meeting, and request
him to address the Brotherhood. Han
nahan appeared before the convention
Just before adjournment and delivered
an interesting address, in which he
heartily endorsed the federation ques-
ton.
FIREMEN FAVOR FEDERATION.
Yesterday nearly 1870 delegates of the
international Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, representing every
State in the United States,
met in secret session to consider
the question of the proposed federation
of labor now agitating the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. John P.
Hannigan, Vice Grand Master, thor
oughly explained matters, as did other
advocates, after which the convention
voted unanimously in favor of federation,
and appointed committee to notify the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of
the result The delegates will await
the action of the Engineers, and it may
be that another session will be necessary
before thorough understanding is
reached.

THE CRONIN CASE.
The White Horse Figures Conspicu-
0usly In the Testimony.

CHICAGO, October 2S.-At the opening
of the Cronin trial this morning Napier
Moreland, employed in Dinan's livery
stable, testified to the facts of the hiring
of the white horse as testified to by
Oman Saturday. He said when the
horse came back at 9 80 he was putting,
and gave evidence of having been hard
driven. The buggy was covered with
sand and mud.
MRS. CoNKLIN's TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Conklin, at whose house DIR.
Cronin last lived, was the next witness.
She re.told at great length and minute
ness the story of how DR.. Cronin was
called for by a man who ostensibly
wanted him to 60 to attend one OF
OSullivan's icemen who had been
hurt. This was on the evening OF
the murder, She identified the
horse and buggy in which he was
taken as the white horse and top buggy
taken from Oman livery stable on an
order from Detective Coughlin, one OF the
prisoners. She also described the inter-
view she had with 0'Sullivan on the fol-
lowing day in the presence of Pinker-
ton man. O'Sullivan, she said, con-
fessed that appearances were against
him but declared he knew nothing about
the matter and did not send for Cronin.
She was cross-examined at great length.
Mrs. Conklin's cross examination
brought out the fact that within few
days after the disappearance of Cronin,
Police Captain Setback brought Dinan's
white horse and buggy to her house
for Identification, and that che had failed
to identify the animal. On the 25th oil
May, when the animal was brought by a
reporter, she identified it. Mrs. Conklin
accounted for this by saying that the Cir
cumstances of weather and light were
different at these times. The reporter
presented the animal under similar con-
ditions as when the doctor was driven
away. The cross examination lasted I'M
til late in the afternoon.
OTHER WITNESSES.
Charles W. Beck, the reporter who
drove the horse to Conklin's house
when Mrs. Conklin identified it, merely
testified to this effect.
Sarah McNesry, who was in Dr.
Cronin's reception room when the mys
FERROUS man came for him, gave a de-
scription of the individual tallying closely
with that given by Mrs. Conklin.
DIR. Cronin's brother, from Arkansas
testified briefly to having identified the
Lakeview corpse as that Of his brother.
Conklin, the saloon-keeper, with wholr
Cronin resided, was recalled and testi6ec
to starting out the first morning o.
Cronin's absence to search for the doc
tor. At O'Sullivan's house the icemar
was seen, and denied having sent fol
Cronin, or that any of his men had beer
hurt.
