THE CRO%IS CASE.
The Chicago Police Think They Have
Clue.

CuoAeo, Aug. 2o.--The police have
secured some important evidence in the
Cronin case. 1t is said that on the night
of the murder of Cronin, pair of horses
belonging TO Sullivan, the iccman
now in Jail as one Of the Cronin
murderors, was attached to one of ms
ice wagons and were driven rapidly in
the vicinity in which the murder was
committed by three excited men; tina.
the horses We're driven up IN
front of a saloon in Lake View
about O'clock; that they were covered
with foam, and that the men in the
wagon went in auI had drinks. 1t has
been supposed that ever since the
murder these hor-cs remained IN the
barn all of that night. The police adj
nit to the substantial correctness OF
these statements, but decline TO speak
further about the matter, except TO say
that neither of the mon in the wagon
are in iail.

BRIcuAMs BROTHERS.
Mormons I'm the old Dominion Max
ing sad Iuroads.

WHEELls0, w. Va, Aug. 20.-Mor.
mon elders have been doing effective
missionary work in this state and the
effects are beginning to be felt in a
serious way. In some sections serious
trouble is brewing. In Wheeling there
is to he found congregation OF SAINTS
with church building of their
own, in which regular services
are held. The converts made here have
been mostly women, and some of them
have been exported 10 Utah. Tho elders,
or missionaries a. they call themselves,
are working in the bOldcSt manner. They
have made an astonishing number of
converts, and scores of families have
been broken up In consequence. Cases
are numerous where entire families have
renounced thcir former faith and united
with the Mormon church. More num-
erous however, are cases where family
ties have been broken and where wives
have deserted their husbands and hus-
bands their wives to- cast their lots with
the Alormons. Young girls have been
induced to leave their homes and go to
Utah.
The feeling Is very bitter against
them, and an organized movement to
drive them out Is quite probable.

The chair asked If the convention had
taken any such action.
Woisenberger referred the chair to tho

Turner admitted, but did not think,

The chair thought the action of the

ELIsE's BEAUTIFUL ARMS,

OF An Artists Model in Berlin.


Two years ago Elise Kemmlcr, then Is
years old, was waitress at n restaurant
in the students quarter in Berlin. She
was not pretty. She was frecl,lcd, square
shouldered and dumpy. She was so
plain that She didnot even get the usual
care sses and love pats which the German
mattresses almost invariably get from
every man they serve. She had, how
ever, one beauty of form-her arms.
They were large, white and eYquisitely
nodded. A young artist noticed them
one day as Elise. with her sleeves rolled
up, Brought him his beer and roast
goose. From that day on Elise was
probably more sought after by young
men than any other waitress in Berlin.
Every artist wished her TO sit for him,
so that he could paint her beautiful
arms.
Alter the young artist who discovered
hcrarms had giveT their counterparts to
his Iiebes and Venuses and Dianas, doz-

TIMBER GOES, FLOOD COMES.
\ Farmer Tells the Result of Forest
Destruction.
IRON the Rondout Special 10 the New York
TimcSl

lAl4tN
The heavy floods of the past spring
and the present summer emphasize the
fact that trcshcts are mainly caused hy
the great destruction of timber. In III
stCr county, whore thousands of acres
have been dcnuded of timber for the
purpose of supplying markets with lum.
ber, tanueries with bark ETC., this has
been the result To large extent.
Trees do not grow to any great extent
on mountain peaks. The tops of the
Cutssili mountains are usually covered
with thick beds of moss and vegetation
which hold moisture. The evaporation
is light at the height of 3OOO TO 1000 feet.
On lower platcaus, where hcmlOCk has
been cut for the bark, the trunks OF trees
have been left ON the ground. They
form sort OF barrier, which, In meas
uro prevents vegetation from being
washed away. The agitation of the sub
iect of destruction of timber has al ready
been Of benefit in tho education of land
owners. The observation of arboT day
by public schools in this state Will re-
suit in great good in this direction.
Recently an Ulster county frrmcr
said he had cut an acre or so of trees on
an elevated portion of his farm. In
telling his experience, lac said: "My
hrst loss was the drying up OF q bcauti-
fil brook which had its source i'm my
grove, and which ran through number
of fields, furnishing water for cattle
while grazing. Five times the value
OF the wood | sold would have been re-
fused for this stream. In the vicinity OF
tile place where the timber stood the
ground became dry during the summer.
