CHICAGO, Nov. 2I.-Ip the Cronin
case to-day. Patrick Oman, owner of the
white horse which drew Cronin to the
Carlson cottage, testified that the horse
was now in a dime museum. Louis Bud.
enbender of Hoboken, N. j., who lived
in Chicago at the time OF Cronin's death,
testified that he saw Cronin go away from
his home on the night he was murdered;
that the horse which drew the buggy was
not Dinan's white horse but a gray ami
NAL with white legs. Marshal d. Elwell,
medical and m~icroscopical expert. testi-
fed that no means were known to science
by which human hair could be certainly
distinguished from any other hair.
Doctors Meyer and Curtis occupied the

A Vicious Fight.

CHICAGO. Nov. ga vicious prize
fight between the lightweights Tommy
Morgan and Tommy White took place
this morning at Hammond, Ind. Morgan
has a record in the ring, while White,
until he began training for to-day's fight,
was employed as a blackboard boy in a
stock brokers' Office. Morgan forced the
fighting in the start, but in the third
round was pushed into his corner by
Whites hard work.
In the fourth round Morgan made an
other IRISH and received a blow hat drew
a quantity of blood. From this time on
White showed himself the better man and
began forcing the fight. In the thirty
second round he delivered a blow which
knocked Morgan senseless, but his train
ers managed to get Morgan up before
time was called. Morgan was a pitiable
sight, both his eyes being nearly closed
and his body a mass of bruises and cuts.
White showed but few marks.
From the thirty-eighth to the fifty
fourth round the fight was more one-
sided than ever, consisting of mad rushes
by Morgan, who was nearly blind, and
quick. savage blows by White. In the
middle of the fifty fourth round the po-
lice made . raid and arrested the con
testants, allowing the others of the party
to escaDe.

An Expert swindIer.

SAN Francisco. Nov. 2l.-Charles
Montgomery, owner Of the American Ex-
change hotel and widely known OIL &C
count of his charitable work. made a state
ment to-day showing that he had been
made the victim of a confidence operator
to the extent Of $50, 900. Two years ago
a young man calling himself E. Glenn
cross Grant came here and soon became
prominent in the Young Mems Christian
Association work. He gained Montgom-
ery's confidence and after a time the latter
took him into partnership in an agricul-
tural implement company with stores in
this city and Los Angeles. Grant had
complete charge of the Los Angeles end,
Montgomery furnishing all the capital.
Grant has suddenly disappeared and
Montgomery learns that he has contracted
debts and appropriated money ageregat-
ing $50. 900. Montgomery has been com
PEELED to make an assignment with liabili-
ties of 1920, 900 and assets about $3l8,
600. 1t has been discovered that Grant
is an expert swindler who was compelled
to fee from London for a similar %offense.

Another RAILROAD Deal.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-It came to light
to-day hat an important traffic agreement
has been made by the Rock Island and
Santa Fe routes Tor the handling of
through traffic between Chicago and all
points on the Pacific coast. Dodge City,
Kan, is made the junction point. By
this arrangement a line shorter than any
other from this city to all California points
South of Los Angeles is created.
The agreement provides for the hand
ling of all freights in through cars and on
through bills when the traffic originates
east of the Missouri river or on the Pacific
division OF the Santa Fe to Moiave and
thence over the Southern Pacific to San
Francisco. The Southern Pacific is pow.
erless to prevent them owing to the per-
petual contract of the Atlantic & Pacific
for the use of the Southern Pacific tracks.
The contract is for long terms and wen
stronger than that of the Union Pacific
and Northwestern. The agreement goes
into operation Immediately SO far as
freight traffic is concerned and a through
passenger service will be established as
soon as the necessary arrangements are
made.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2l.-Commodore
Wilson, chief of the bureau of construc-
ton and repair, has submitted TO Secre-
tary Tracy a voluminous report of the
operations under the supervision of the
bureau during the year ended June 30,
1889, and the estimates of the coming
year ending June 30, 1890. The latter
includes salaries in the bureau, S2l, $50;
preservation and completion of vessels on
the stocks; the purchase of materials and
stores, all kinds of labor ia the navy
yards, etc, 81, ZOO, 900; clerks, etc. in the
navy yards, $40, 972.
With the completion OF vessels now
building and appropriated for, the United
States will possess ten armed vessels,
thirteen turreted monitors, tweuty-one
steel cruisers or gun boats, two dynamite
cruisers, a practice cruiser for cadets, an
armored ram, one first class torpedo boat,
and seven iron steamers.
The work OF rebuilding the navy is
progressing very satisfactory and the re-
suits accomplished during the past six
months are a sufficient guarantee of the
purpose of the department to advance
the work with the utmost rapidity and of
its energy and success in the performance
of that task. The vessels already under
contract and building at the navy yards
are progressing favorably and some are
rapidly nearing completion.
Commodore Wilson calls attention to
the difficulty of getting satisfactory bids
for the construction of vessels when the
cost is limited BY acts authorizing them to
be built, and recommends that in future
the bureau be not crippled by such legis-
lation.
Commodore Wilson says that as far as
lies within his power the department is
vigorously endeavoring to satisfy the
popular demand for establishing a navy
worthy the United States and commensu-
rate with its its importance as a maritime
power.
