cuIars of the cheesebrough's Loss

BATH, November 8.-ThS morning dis
patches from Yokohama had the news that
the Bath ship Cheesebrough, Capt Ericsson,
was wrecked on the northern coast of Japan
She was bound to New York from Hiogo
via Hokadadi. Nineteen of her crew were
lost. No particulars of the disasters have
been received in this city and much anxiety
is felt concerning the fate of the crew. Capt.
Ericsson was well known here. he received
his education in our public schools and en-
tered the employ of the Sewalls about ten
years ago. He was unusual ly smart and his
employers pushed him forward rapidly.
Bert Bailey, son of ex-Marshal James
Bailey. is chief off Ger of the Cheesebrough,
and Capt Soule's son Fred is third mate. 1t
is no known that any other Bath boys we're
in the ship. The parents are expecting

their boys are among those saved.

1873. by e & A. Sewall, and registered

The Doctor Nopplussed.

A well-known doctor of dentistry. not a
thousand miles from Portland, is one of the
most absent-minded men living. A short
time since he was engaged to make a set of
teeth for lady at Cumberland Mills, but
after they had been delivered, 1t was found
necessary to make an alteration in them.
The doctor called upon the lady to obtain
the teeth. and after short conversation,
took his departure with the teeth in his pock

Office other duties claimed his attention, SO
that some little time elapsed before he could

said bicnspids. The moment arrived, how

YESTERDAY IN COURT.
The Blood Stained Blind Adds to the
Chain of Evidence.

CHICAGO, November 8.-In the Cronin
trial today Capt. Schuttlar was still on the
stand, and was cross examined on imma-
terial points by Attorney Wing.
On redirect Capt Schuttler said he was
present during the conversation between
O'Sullivan and Capt. Setback. The latter's
testimony given yesterday afternoon was
fully corroborated.
Previous to this conversation witness had
seen O'Sullivan at the Lake View police sta
tion. At that time O'Sullivan had said he
was Knight of Labor and a member Of the
Independent Order of Foresters only. He
denied, positively. being member of the
Clan-na-Gael. Concerning the lock of hair
found in the blood-stained trunk and the
bloody chips from the floor of the Carlson
cottage, witness said he had received them
in sealed package from Captain Wing of
the Lake View police, and had handed them
unopened to DR.. Belield for expert examina-
tion and analysis. The windew shutters
containing the bloody imprints of the fin
gers Of one of the murderers was again
brought into evidence. The bloody marks
of the fingers are distinct, and the guilt or
innocence of at least one of the defendants
could easily be proved by the Bertillion i'm
preston method of Identification. Witness
swore the shutters were taken from the Carl
son cottage.
William Niemann was called and said he
was a saloon keeper. On the morning of
May O'Sullivan had come into his saloon
and made an agreement to FURNISH him ice.
That evening O'Sullivan had also come in
between and z. The following night, the
night OF the fatal fourth of May, at IL
O'Clock, Just as the witness was closing his
saloon, O'Sullivan had again come in with
two companions. One of them was large
light complectioned man; the other WAS
much shorter. Both had mustaches, Every
one knew that the next question would be:
DO you see those two men now in the court
room" The question was manifestly en-
barrassing to the witness. He hesitated but
at last said that to the best of his judgement
Coughlin was one of the men and Kunze the
other.
Policeman Paul Hoefgig. desk sergeant of
the East Chicago avenue station, where De-
tective Dan Coughlin was stationed previous
to his arrest, testified that in April he re-
ceived telephone message from O'Sullivan
who wanted to see O'Coughlin lat his house
that evening. On the first or second of May he
received the same message,
