THE CRONIN CASE.
Counsel still wranHIinG Over the
Issue of Separate Trials.

CHICAGO, August 2S.-The Cronin case
was resumed this morning before Judge
Mcconnell in the criminal court with the
hearing of arguments of counsel on
motions of defendants, Coughlin, Burke,
OSullivan and Woodruff for separate
trials, and of Launce for an order on the
States attorney, compelling him to give
him copy of the evidence before the
grand jury on which he was indicted,
and a list of the witnesses who testified
against him. The arguments covered
about the same ground as was covered
i'll the affidavits Monday, and were to
the general effect that the cases ofvariouS
defendants, in whose behalf The argu-
mcnts were made, would he lrcindiced
by a trial conformity with the others.
During the course of the arguments,
Judge Mcconnell took occasion two or
three times to gall the attention of the
counsel to the fact, that they were fight
ing for separate trials, on promises based
upon Joint murder precedents and not on
conspiracy prccedcnts. Counsel" hc
said, must bear in mind, that the first
count in the indictment against the
prisoners iii this case, was rcOnspiraCy;
the fact having an important bearing on
the question of joint or separate trials"
After the counsel for the various prison
crs had made their pleas for separate
trials, States attorney Longenecker adj
dressed the court, combating the grant
ing of such motions. Judge Longeneckcr
said: "The attorneys for the defendants
i'll their pleas had shown exactly why
a separate trial should not be granted.
These men in their affidavits have talked
of furniture bought, ofrooms rented, OF
cottage procured, Of buggy hired, of
man decOycd to a certain place and
murdered, and have touched upon much
other evidence. What is this but CON
spiracy? What harm can come of trying
these men togcthcr?'
Regarding Woodruff, Mr.. Longcneckcr
said, that the cOnicSsor had not said
anything that was at all injurious to the
other defendants.
mot one thing" said the States at
torney "has that man said that will be
the least damaging to the other five
men. All he says is i'll regard to himself"
After the States attorney, Mr. Forest,
who represents ex-dctcctive Coughlin
and other defendants, continued the
argument for separate trials, at the
close of which the court adjourned till
tomorrow.

THE DOCKMEN's STRIKE.
Shippers and Merchants Com
planning.

LONDON, August 2S.-Shippers and
merchants are pressing the dock compa-
nes to yield, declaring that they are
driving trade to other ports. The dock
companies complain of the pressure upon
them and promise to give an answer
later.
An increased number of men are at
work to-day. Mail steamers are being
loaded slowly and some of the car men
have resumed work The streets, wharvcs
and quays present peculiar aspect and
are unusually free from noise owing to
the absence of the railway vans and
carriers carts, and the street traffic is
almost entirely confined to omnibusscs
and cabs.
Public sentiment is growing in favor of
the abolition of private dock companies
and the placing of docks under municipal
control. The price of provisions is ris-
ing and Liverpool consiguces are suffer
ing owing to the inability to discharge
ships freighted with perishable cargoes.

CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business in the Grain Center Dur.
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, August 2S.-Thcre was a
repetition ofycsterdays performances in
the wheat pit to-day. The easy opening,
heavy feeling for an hour or so, then a
bulgy, nervous advance and reaction
later, were all gone through with, but
the market closed a point lower than on
the day before
During the last hour of the session the
feeling became weaker on less favorable,
closing cables and prices broke IA cents
from the top under free and general real
izing sales by smaller class of longs. "
The latest bids for leading futures were
A6fA cents under yesterdays closing.
Moderate business was transacted in
corn, trading being less active than for
two or three days, but fluctuations were
within fair range. The feeling developed
was on the whole little weaker. The
market opened 1sMH cent lower than
yesterday, fluctuatcd within Is cents
range and closed Am3s cents lower than
yesterday. Oats were fairly active but
unsettled and arrivals were lighter
Mess pork was the center of attraction
and trading was quite active Prices
were advanced 2OM25 cents on large
purchases but rather free offerings caused
weaker feeling during the latter part of
the session and the advance was lost.
Moderate trade was reported in lard,
with feeling unsettled. Early it was
stronger, but later offerings were in
creased and prices reached 1OM12la
cents, but reached 5 cents, closing steady.
A good trade was reported in short ribs
and the feeling unsettled, with prices

THE EX-CONFEDERATES.
FIRST DAY OF THE GREAT
HAYWOOD REUNION.
Six Regiments Represented-H.
w. Grady Expected This MORN
inX-PrOnIiHent CarOllnIans In
AttenCIanCe-A Big barbecue.


WAYNESvILLE, N. c., August 2S.-
Special. The first of the three days of
the Haywood Veterans Reunion has
closed with the promise, if the weather is
good, of being a most gratifying success.
The number is already large, to be
greatly increased tomorrow.
The train that left Ashevlle was well
filled with veterans and visitors. Among
those on board were Judges Shepherd
and Avery of the supreme court, Gen.
Clingman, Gen. r. b.. Vance, Col. ]. S.
McElroy and Hon. T. d. Johnston. At
each station large additions were made
and when the train reached here it was
crowded. At the depot the Haywood
veterans, headed by the Richland Rifles,
stood ready to receive them and the
gathered multitude were marched up
town and assigned temporary quarters.
After dinner the whole assembly gathered
at the warehouse and thence marched to
the depot to await the belated train
from Jarratts. 1t reached here two
hours late with upwards of two hundred
old soldiers from Cherokee, Graham,
Swain and Jackson, and then the whole
concourse escorted by the citizens in
carriages and on horseback, took up the
line of march for the camp about a mile
and half west of the town on the
Webster road when they went regularly
into camp. The long line of men on foot
and on horseback, the wagon train, and
the absence of display in dress and equil-
mcnt reproduced very fair ideal of an
old Confederate army,
Little was done to-day except to
prepare for the regular program of to-
morrow that will embrace speeches from
many old soldiers, Vance, Clingman and
Others and, perhaps from Henry Grady
who is looked for by the morning train.
There will follow a barbecue which will
be on a large scale, each township in the
county having furnished beef, besides
sheep, pigs poultry, etc.
Several thousand people will lie
present. There are already about seven
hundred veterans here and if the weather
is fair it is supposed that two thousand
will be present. The regiments repre-
Scntcd are the 10th N. c., under COM
mand of Col. J. S. McElroy, the 25th,
commanded by Capt. Latham the Goth
by Col. w. l.. Morris, the 39th by whom,
| did not learn and the 62nd by Col. b.
G. Mcdowell, now of Bristol, Tenn.
There are also representatives of the Goth,
Thomas Legion and of some other regi-
ments i'll small numbers. The roads and
streets are muddy and tonight nothing
more is to be done or learned. ]. ID. c.

RACE TROUBLE
Feared at Oxford Over the killing
of a Policeman by Negroes.

DURHAM, N. C., August 2S.-A special
from Oxford to the Globe gives an ac-
count of threatened race trouble in that
place. Late this afternoon two negroes
had difficulty over game of cards,
creating considerable disturbance. Police
man Whitfield tried to arrest them, but
the two turned upon the officer, shooting
him four times and injuring him fatally.
The negroes fled pursued by several hun
dred whites who succeeded in catching
the culprits on the suburbs of the town.
Threats oflynching were freely INDUCED
i'll, but the sheriff succeeded in gaining
the custody OF the negroes, who were
placed in jail. There is some talk of an
effort being made tonight by the colored
population to attack the jail and rescue
the twO negroes. In this event there will
be serious trouble

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2S.-The case
of deputy United States marshal NagIe
who shot and killed David S. Terry. was
taken up in the United States Circuit
court to-day for the purpose of fixing the
time for taking testimony and hearing
arguments on the hcqucstion of jurisdiction
of the Federal court. Mr.. Turner, one of
the attorneys representing the State, an
nounced that as both of his colleagues
had retired from the case he would follow
their example. He said the attorneys
were engaged only to argue the question
ofjurisdiction and they did not care to
take any testimony in habeas corpus
proceedings. This leaves the State with
out counsel in the Nagle case, as the
district attorney of San Joaquin county,
where the killing of Terry occurred, has
announced that lie will not represent the
State further. Hearing was postponed
