Maroney and Mcdonald Released from
Custody by Judge Andrews

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE three men who
came in from Chicago for the purpose of
identifying Maroney and Mcdonald as
principles or accOmplices in The murder Of
DIR. Cronin visited the TombS this morn
ing with authority to see the prisoners.
The suspects were placed in line with a
score of other prisoners. William H. Hat
field, who sold the furniture found in the
cottage where Or. Cronin was murdered,
was the first to pass along the line, but he
failed to identify either of the men. He
was followed by Martinsen, the express
man, f. G. Throckmorton and Deputy
Sheriff Williams all of whom failed to
identify the suspects. Maroney and Nc
Donald were then taken back to their cells
and the Chicagoans lett the prison.
Judge Andrews in the supreme court
has discharged Maroney and Mcdonald on
the ground that there was no evidence on
which to hold them.
woODRUFF'S LATEST CONFESSION.
CHICAGO, June 17.-An previous confess
sions of Woodruff, the horse thief, who
has been indicted for completely in the
Cronin tragedy, were eclipsed yesterday
morning in an entirely new story from
him. He contradicts and discredits every
other statement heretofore attributed to
him, and now appears in the role of an eX
member OF the Canadian militia, claiming
that he was trusted by Cronin's alleged
murderers because he furnished Fenian
spies with valuable information during
one of the military raids into Canada. AL
eXander Sullivan is implicated in the kill
ing of the doctor; Maroney also figures III
the plot; the mysterious "Williams" is
identified by him as Mr.. Mike McDOugall.
Ii tie confidence is placed in the new SEN
sation by officers. Several statements
were made by the prisoner which conflict
with the facts in the case.
BURKE HELD AT WINNIPEG.
WINNIPEG, Man, June 17.-Several tele-
grams were received today by Chief of Po-
lice McGrath from Chicago to hold Burke,
the Cronin suspect, by all means. a mes
sage from Chief Hubbard inquired if
Burbe would waive examination proceed
ings. When shown this Burke said he
thought it a good deal of presumption on
the part of the police, and said he would
not. 1t is thought here that Burke is one
of the Williams brothers wanted in con
nection with the tragedy. All marks on
his linen and book and papers found on
Qis person have been attributed. A name
on the band of hat found in his vaiise re-
sembling that of Cronin had BEEN smeared
over with ink.

The Queer Results Brought About BY the

The Queer Results Brought About BY ths
Praying Of "Jotn Browns Body"
Lieutenant Chandler in an article on
Sherman's march to the sea, speaks Of
q halt at Shady Dale, Ga, as follows;
The column halted here for a short time
to rest, and one of the bands struck uI
John Browns Body Lies Mouldering

new; but whist was new was to see
number of negro girls, dozen or more,
come out from the deserted mansions
and, forming ring around the band,
with weird aud plaintiye wall danced
in a circle in the most solemn, dignified
manner 50 long as the band played that
tune. There was not man in this
dance. There was not word spoken
to any of the girls by any officer or man
in the command. because we were all
too much astonished, and as soon as
the music ceased they all scuttled off
and disappeared behind the shrubbery
and in the houses. The modest and
serious department of these girls in this
dance made deep impression on me.
The more thought over the matter the
more | became interested to know why
they should have danced, and why they
had danced to that tune, but paid no
attention TO several better dancing
tunes which the band played,
Il looked about for the girl to whom
/ had spoken about the absence of the
white people, but she was gone. and IN
her place big, fat, comtortable-look-
ing Dinah leaned on the fence, with her
fat black arms and good-humored face
shining in the sunlight.
"'Aunty, 90 you know why those
girls danced 70 that tuneg
"'Yes, sab; it's a-cos dat ar am de

All were scrupulously neat in appear

of prayer, the singing of hymns, both

The ladies Of DIR. Goodwin's church

Yesterday one Chiuaman was learning
the alphabet, while another, who had

principles, and wanted to be enlight-

There is one teacher to each Chinese
scholar. If the latter can cot read, he
is taught the alphabet, and is then made
TO spell words forming part of some
Scriptural text. The whole text is then
made plain to him, and the Scriptural
idea contained in it fully explained.
