He VIII Try Vigorous Measures To Crush
the Annexation Spirit In Canada
OTTAWA, Jan. An early dissolution Of
the dominion parliament is imminent Shortly
after the close of the session, which meets
here this month, Sir John Macdonald will
dissolve parliament and go to the country to
give those who are advocating either unre-
stricted reciprocity or annexation an oppor-
tunity to express their views 1t will be
mainly on these issues that the election will
be contested
Sir John, it is stated by an indisputable
authority, has become uneasy over the grow
ing sentiment in the direction of closer rela-
tions with the United States, and before it
becomes too mighty an influence for him to
conquer he wishes to secure a new lease OF
power, which, if he is successful, will carry
him into 1894 Sir John never yet has per-
mitted parliament to run its natural life,
and this step, as matter of exigency, will
surprise no one.

test here. George w. Rockwell's wife died
last year and left him $25O,000. His legacy

fore his marriage with the heiress This

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Jan. Thomas
Ready, aged 26, who committed suicide by
taking poison at the Bylonite hotel, was last
November refused marriage by the pastor of
st. Francis Catholic church, as it was not
certain that former wife was dead Ready
afterward produced alleged proof of the
death of his first wife, and he was married
to Miss Moore on Thanksgiving day. The
pair left town shortly after, when reports
were circulated that Ready's first wife was
still living, and that the proofs furnished to
the contrary were forged. Mrs Ready No.
2 came back some time since. Ready re-
turned Friday, and a warrant was issued for
his arrest, the hearing of which caused him
to take poison, which resulted in death.
Previous to this escapade the deceased had
borne an excellent reputation. 1t is thought
that remorse drove him to the deed

FOULLY MURDERED.
The Body Of Dr.. Oronin Found in Chicago Sewer
He Was Killed by Men Who Had
Been Friends.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The body of a man
partly decompOsed was found in the man
hole of a sewer in Lakeview this evening
at $50 o'clock. 1t was wrapped in cotton
resembling that in the trunk which Wood
ruff claims to have thrown ont of the
wagon in LAkeview after body had been
removed from it. The Lakeview police
believed the body to be that of DR.. Oropin.
Three of Cronin's most intimate friends
arrived shortly. After careful examlna'
ton, they declined to say pcaitively that
the body was that of the Doctor. One by
one other friends, to the number OF at least
FORTY. arrived on the scene and all shadow
of doubt WIS quickly removed. Cronin's
dentist said the Doctors teeth were peculiar
and those of the corpse permitted no mis-
take. The body was stark naked, except
for a towel wound about the head. DIR.
Cronin's skull had been smashed in, ap-
varently by the blows of hatchet.
The Body Frightfully Lacerated.
A bloody towel was wrapped about the
head. The rest of the body was stark
naked. A Catholic emblem which the
doctor always wore next to MS skln
was untouched, being suspended from
the neck. On the dead mans head were
a dozen deep cuts, which had severed the
scalp and indented the skull. 1t is the
opinion of the police that Cronin was foul
" murdered, and by some man who could
not bring himself to disturb a Catholic
trinket. Much excitement was shown at
detective headquarters, when doubt as to
the identity of the body was finally re-
moved. One of the first objects of the po-
lice will be to have a number of suspicious
assertions explained-sssertions made
by supposed friends of Cronin. Lieuten-
ant Elliott will have these people at the
inquest and demand an explanation full
aud complete. The detectives claim they
have been handicapped from the start by
lack of assistance from those who claimed

pearauce. Lieutenant Elliott said: Il

The Famous Carter Divorce Case at an End, and the
Husband Wins-HS Counter Charges Sus-
tanned and bis Wifs's Folly Proven
10 the World.

CHICAGO, May 22-The notable divorce
case of Carter VS.. Carter, which has been
on trial for several weeks in the Circuit
Court before Judge Jameson, was finished
this morning at $50 o'clock when the jury
came in with its verdict. The suit was
brought by Mrs. Leslie Carter, who
charged her husband with unnamable
offenaes Mr.. Carter filed a cross-bill,
charging his wife with adultery. The
prominence of the parties, the unusual
beauty Of Mrs. Carter, and other matters
unusual in such hearings, made it cele-
brsted case, and the Court room has been
crowded since the trial began.
During its progress the testimony took
the listeners in imagination over a good
part of Europe; gave them glimpses of the
royal prodigality with which Mrs. Carter
lavished money on personal adornments
and equipages, though her husband was
by no means rich man; traced the pay
ment to her of several large checks, drawn
by prominent merchant of New York;
made evident her friendship for handsome
Kyrle Bellew, the actor; touched upon
her relations with her physician, and, in
short, developed a series of sensations
to satisfy the expectations of the most
pruriently inclined.
The arguments were completed yester-
day sfternood, and the case was given to
the jury. At the opening of the court this
merniDg, it was announced that an agree
ment had been reached. The verdict
when announced was to the effect that
Mrs. Carter was guilty of adultery as
charged in the cross bill and that Mr.. Gar
ter was not guilty of the charges preferred
against him in his wife's bill. Neither
MI. nor Mrs. Garter Was present when the
verdict was announced.
The effect of this verdict will be to give
Mr.. Carter divorce and the custody of
their child.
Mrs Carter's attorney prayed for an ap-
peal, and argument on his motion will be
heard later.
