The World on DIR. CrOnin.

NEW York, May 25.-From the World:
'The excitement in this city over the MUIR
der of DIR. Cronin still remains at its high.
est pitch and may possibly develop
into something serious. 1t may be
remembered that in this fight in
the Gamma Gael Society last fall DR..
Cronin was supported by several we'll
known men of this city. DR.. Cronin was
openly threatened with death and he has
now met his fate. 1t was we'll understood
at the time that some men had
evil designs against Cronin's hackers in
the East one Of the strongest of whom
lives in this city, and for whose safety his
friends are daily warning. His Gamma
Gael fight was a long and complicated
one, and DR.. Cronin succeeded in making
the bitterest enemies of his life during it."

Prosecuting Attorney Daley is now in

500, 900. 1t is said that Bradley and
Charles w. Palmer discounted notes with
out the knowledge of the directors, and it
has covered a space of several years.
Palmer has been arrested also.
The card was issued yesterday after
noon by Ex-Governor Bigelow, president
OF the Merchants National Bank:
To the Public:
Certain irregularities have been found in the
bank involving the cashier and assistant teller.

interested in the manufacture of patent
medicine, and one story current is to tho
effect that he borrowed considerable
money to extend his business, and, being
unable to meet his payments, tided over
by discount notes for the parties of whom
he had borrowed money. This practice,
it is stated, was discovered by Cashier
Bradley, but Palmer induced him
to keep it quiet, promising tc
take up the notes as fast as they became
due. Failing to do this other notes were
discounted until the cashier and teller be-
came deeply involved and were compelled
to keep quiet for their own safety. The
general opinion last night was that the
affair was much worse than the bank Off
