CHICAGO, Sept g.-The hunt for jurors
in the Cronin case was resumed this morn
ing and had not proceeded far when it be-
came evident Judge Mcconnell had de-
cided to draw more closely and secure
jury II possible. During the session three
lalesmen who stated they mad formed
opinions but could give the accused an i'm
partial trial, were challenged by the de-
Tense The judge took them in hand and
after questioning them closely decided
them competent. n each case the defense
entered an exception and excused ihem
peremptOTily. At this rate the peTemptoTy
challenges will sOoh be exhausted.
After the court had Overruled the ehal-
lenges for cause in which the circumstances
were similar, and the talesman had been
peTemptOTily excused, Judge Mcconnell
said: 81 want to say word TO the gentle
men on both sides in reference 70 this line
of challenge. As l understand the law
and 1 think | have taken il from very high
authority and from rules OF practice well
approved, in the early impannelli7g OF a
jury in case which has been very much
discussed and very much published 10 the
newspapers as this has and concerning
which the sherih's summOning Officers have
gone to nearly all parts Of the county and
summoned nearly all classes and eondl-
tions of society, il 1t becomes apparent that
an ideal or perfect jury cannot
be secured, that Is a jury which has
matter, then the court must take the next
best jury il can get, so long as II is legal
jury. So, while great liOerality Will be
permitted, such.ss this court has permitted
In this case in the early empanelling Of the
jury, necessarily as the court becomes con-
viDced that il cannot be so liberal, that u u
were to continue the course no jury could
be empanelled, that libeTality must be
limit d. So whatever might be the ordin-
airy rules of law which govern the en-
panelling OF jury in an ordinary case,
they must bend 90 the eXigencIes OF case
of more public concern; otherwise the result
would necessarily follow that in certain
cases no Jury could ever be impR1eled.
Now, / mean TO say by that, that where ]
find that those opinions are simply founded
upon newspaper reading, and men come
here from whose Intelligence and char
acter the court is obliged 70 come 10 the
conclusion that from what they say they
can fairly and impartialiy try the case on
the law and evidence. l shall not be 50
liberal as 1 have been- We have already
consumed nine days in erdeavoTlng TO en-

THE VIRGINIA DISASTER.

The Accident on the Norfolk & Western
Road Fully Bad as at First Re
ported.
LYNCEBURG, Va, July 4.-The scene OF
the terrible disaster near Thaxton'S, on
the Norfolk & Western railroad is more
horrible than has been described. There
is hardly enough left of the train of eight
cars that took the leap to the bottom of the
awful pit to make one car. AS soon as ths
boiler of the engine exploded the entire
mass of debris took fire and those who
went down who were not killed outright
were burned to death.
A survivor Of the wreck says The cries
for help could be heard from all portions
of the wreck and those unhurt were pow
erless to render assistance.
The women who managed to escape lay
about on the damp ground suffering from
their injuries until daybreak and many
walked long distances to farm houses.
The few passengers left uninjursd did all
in their power for the unfortunates.
The debris was all removed yesterday
afternoon and a number of charred bodies
were found. The names of seventeen per-
sons who were killed have been ascer-
tanned. The list is official and accurate
and is as follows:
Railroad employes-Pat Donovan. en-
gineer; J. E. Bruce, fireman; Alvin NJ.
James, road foreman OF engines; M. s.
Bruce, mail agent; s. W. Lipsey, train
dispatcher, Roanoke, Va; Will Hopkins,

hen, of Roanoke; James J. Rose. of Abing-
don Va; Pattie Darlington, of Texas,
aged nine years, and John Kirkpatrick,
Lynchburg, Va
There were about thirty people who es-
capped with only slight injuries and ten
who are seriously injured. The list of
dead will be increased as friends of the
missing people come forward in search Of
them. There is no way at present 10 ascer-
tain the exact number of dead, owing to
the fact that the train was destroyed by
fire

to Suicide.


to Suicide.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July Gas was
discovered escaping yesterday morning
at the news and book store kept by Henry
Kleinpell at IS East Eleventh street,
and an entrance was effected by breaking
in the front door. In the rear hanging to
the rope used to open the skylight was
the dead body of Kleinpell. He had died
of strangulation.
Kleinpell had evidently made at least
two Intellectual attempts at suicide. A
short piece of rope with a moose at one end
was found on the floor, while another
piece OF rope was found suspended from
the ceiling. He probably hanged himself
by this rope in his first attempt and death
not coming quickly enough, cut himself
down.
Five open pocket knives stained with
blood, blood splashes on the floor and cuts
and hack5 in the dead mans left wrist
show how he made the second vain at
tempt
For the third time he made use of two
means to insure his death, having opened
all the gas burners in the room in addition
to hanging. The skylight rope was long
and small His toes touched the floor
and the cord sank deep into the flesh of
his neck.
Kleinpell had been in business here
for nearly eight years. He came from
Madison, Wis, where he had a wife and
four children. He had been drinking
heavily lately.

WASHINGTON, Ju.y 4.-Secretary Noble
has addressed letter 10 Hon. James Tan

he calls the attention Of that officer to the
following regulation applicable to the
pension bureau:
Order No. SO. January %, 1SSj.-Owing
to the pressure brought 10 bear from all
quarters to take cases out Of their regular
order and as at this date poverty and
hardship from further delay can be AL
legged of almost every applicant alike,
therefore, cases will be taken out
of their order only when such cause
therefor is shown to the Commissioner
in writing as will satisfy the other worthy
claimants. whose claims precede them,
should they know the facts, that such ac-
tion is proper. Hereafter no case will be
advanced that is not clearly within this
rule.
The letter of the Secretary continues:
sit is hereby further ordered that this
rule will be extended so as to embrace
cases only where the applicant is in very
great desttution or at the point OF death.
This regu alton will not only be strictly
enforced, but attorneys agents or others
persisting in applications contrary to its
language and spirit will be disbarred from
practice before the department. You will

in Thomas Ewbank's work on H

In Thomas Ewbank's work on ''Hy-
draulics and Mechanics" #" Prof. Edwin }.
Houston has come upon a curious find in
the form of a cut and description Of a
"drop nickel in the slot" device tor dis
pensing hoy water to worshipers at the
entrance of an ancient temple. Accord
ing to his account in the Electrical World
Of to-day, Ewbank himself found de-
scription cf it in the "Spiritalia," pub
lished by Heron in the sixteenth century
and containing an exposure of the deceits
of the Egyptian hierarchy. The apparatus
has all the elements of our oin-operated
perfume machines, there being a slot
at the top for receiving the coin,
pivoted lever on which the coin fell
and a valve which was operated to
let little water escape every time the
lever was depressed by the weight OF the
coin. Thus it appears probable that the
''nickle in the slot" devices, which have
recently come into wide use. %ere origi-
mated more than two thousand years ago,
and that we have only recently redis-
covered lost art. The devices. by means
of which our recent inventors provide
against cheating the machines, are no less
anticipated in the early apparatus, for
Heron states that the valves would not
move until a coin of 8 drachme had been
cast into the vase. The number is. per-
haps, prophetic, but the coin Of d. achma.
or about 70 cents, speaks for the business
superiority of the original inventors.-N.
