ST, LOUIS, May 26,-1nformation comes
from New York that Henry Moore, for
merly managing editor Of the Poa.DiS-
patch, and Mrs, John W, Norton, the
wife Of the well,known theatrical mana
ger, with whom Moore eloped, have
parted, When Moore left s., Louis with
Mrs, Norton it was under the idea that
as he had caused the woman's downfall
it was his duty to stand by her; besides
he was madly in love with her, though
aware that he was not the first man to
lead Mrs, Norton astray, Both expected
divorces would set them free and then
they were to be married. Moore's
first rude awakening was in last
September. On Saturday, the 29nd,
he came home from his office
early in the evening. They were then
living in furnished apartments on Forty
filth street. Moore found the parlors
locked and waited until nearly 9:S0a, m.
when carriage drove up and
stopped a block away. Mrs, Norton
alighted and the man within
drove away. Moore found that Mrs.
Norton had been drinking heavily OF
champagne, terrible scene ensued.
In the morning Moore told her he would
leave her, The woman plead innocence,
that she had been at a Mrs.
Clitford's and that Mrs. CliGord's
brother,in.law had driven her home.
They had been playing poker and
wine and that she had taken too
much. The story was improbable. Be.
sides, Moore found In her purse the card

Gil was "W. 7. K. to i. D. n, Sept. 2s,
1885," Moore learned that Mrs, Norton
had spent the evening with steam.
boat clerk. A reconciliation was
patched up. Scarcely q month elapsed
however, until Moore again detected
Mrs Norton in another deception and final
separation resulted. 1t Is claimed by
Moore's friends that within year oiher
marriage Mrs. Norton had a lover in the
person Of Chicago Theatrical manager.

CHARLESTON, w. VAp May 20.-The

tee. A. Berlew, attorney for General

and moved to exclude all evidence taken
for Fleming in Kanawha county after
the 4th OF May, for the reason that in
the division time TO take evidence Elem.
ing had occupied over one.hali OF the
time in which evidence could be taken
without interference by Gof, and the
evidence taken by Fleming after that
time, was intended 10 hinder and OBJ

also because the notices under which
Fleming took said evidence, was served
on counsel for Gof, who was at the time
taking evidence under proper notice, and
for this reason such notices were not

The Remarkable Document Left by n Mo.
nomnnIac.
CLEVELAND, May 20.-A peculiar mo.
nomaniac named Thomas Smith, "Crazy
Smith," as he was popularly known,
died some months since in the Northern
Ohio Lunatic Asylum, and left the most
peculiar will that probably ever went on
record, It provides that none OF his es.
tate, which amounts to about $4,000,
shall be distributed so long as any OF
his numerous children live. Late yes.
terday afternoon suit was brought in the
Common Pleas court here by Mrs. Emily
Kennedy, one OF his daughters, who re-
sides in this county, in connection with
George Hall, grandchild, and several
other heirs residing in Monroe county,
Missouri, against james Wade, executor
Of this singular will, attempting TO break
II, and distribute the property to the
rightful heirs.
Smith was essentially o miser, very
shrewd and careful In his Investments.
He knew exactly how much dollar at
compound interest would amount 10 at
long periods, and was very desirous Of
having his money left all together till IL
assumed gigantic proportions. His In.
vestments, which are scattered largely
throughout the West, were very shrewd.
ly made, and are all paying handsome
dividends. Smiths eccentFiCities were
well known. He often walked for miles
to save 5 or 10 cents. In his will he left
Mrs. Kennedy, one Of the plaintiffs in
the case, life annuity Of 5000.
In the trial OF the case some most in
teresting law points will be raised.
Among them 1t will be shown that,
while Smith was sane in many respects,
he was crazy on the exaCt points covered
10 the making Of the will, and that the
will Is the result Of his insanity. In his
palmy days Smith used to travel about
the country much in the aspect Of a
tramp, often begging his bread, but
always on the lookout for good invest
ments, and ever ready 10 make a dollar

CHICAGO, May 26.-A morning paper
yesterday published a story which iui-
plicates a member Of the Chicago police
force in the taking of Of DR.. Cronin.
The officer in question is Detective
Daniel Coughlin, The story published
is to the effect that, on the morning Of
the date on which DR.. Cronin disappear.
ed, Coughlin engaged at a livery
stable not far from where DR.. Cronin
lived, a horse and buggy, which he
said q friend OF his would call for that
evening; that the man did call and was
given q white horse similar TO the one
attached to the buggy in which Cronin
was deooyed awayi that the time OF
going and the description OF the man
correspond infinitely both with the time
when the man came for DR.. Cronin and
with the appearance Of the inan himself;
that Coughlin subsequently cautioned
the livery stable keeper TO say nothing
about the matter. Force Is added TO
these revelations from the fact that
Coughlln was q member OF one or more
associations OF which Cronin was MON.
Der and that they were enemies.
The matter was finally brought 10 the
attention Of Chief Of Police Hubbard,
who seems inclined 10 take q serious
view Of the matter, and promises 10 probe
1t 70 the bottom.
Police Superintendent Hubbard gave

Coughlin. The Chief said the following

Talking,
LONDON, May 26,-The Cronin murder
has'been eagerly taken up here and ex'
plotted, particularly by the Tm9, as
evidence Of brutality and general cor
ruption among the Irish in America,
The spy, Le Carou, has been interviewed
concerning the assassination Of DR.,
Cronin, 1t will be remembered that
upon the publication OF Le Caron's testl.
mony before the Parnell Commission,
Cronin charged Sullivan, who Is one ol
the men suspected OF the murder, with
having obtained lie Caron's admission
into the Clan-na. Gael, and with putting
him into q position OF trust. The spy
considers that the murder Of Cronin Is
the result Of the charges made by him
against Sullivan. He said.
"You may say this, and am willing
to have 1t published, that for some time
past. threats have been made against
Cronin, and they have been made In my
presenCe-not once, but repeatedly
threats OF violence by the Sullivan fac.
tion. There are men in the Chicago
organization who would unhesitatingly
kill any man II they thought 1t their
duty TO do so. They would not do II for
money, but II they thought 1t best for
tho organization they would kill any,
body they were told to-"
lie Caron said that he did not believe
Cronin would have "split" on Sullivan,
but that the doctor was known to pos
sess information OF great value, and US
he had said SO much that he should not
have said 1t was probably feared that he
would say moro. He declared in con-
Clusion; t....I
~ am as positive that l know the men
who murdered DR.. Cronin as lam that
am sitting here. ! could name the
leader Of tho crime beyond question,
but 1t would be quite inexcusable for me
to give names for publication. Cronin's
murder is only a side light OF the organi-
tlon In America, and is quite in accord
with the sentiments and actions Of the
members Of the revolutionary body"
LIE Caron did not think that Cronin
was coming to London. r. aF.,

come TO stay, realize that many Of our
methods are on trial even yet, and the
commission has to make experl lments all
the time, and II Is absolutely ineyitable
that there should be occasional mis-
takes, When we find we have made
such mistake, we shall simply reverse
our action, Now, 1t is exactly so In this
case, II was believed, with what SEEM
ed good reason by the original commits
sion, that secrecy In the matter OF the
eligible list would work well, Now we
are inclined to think that on the whole
II has worked injuries, and the commits
sion Is going, therefore, to make the ell
gible list and the standing Of each appli-
cant public, and try how II works, re-
serving TO itself full liberty TO alter the
course II II 10 found 10 work badly.
1--WE recognize at the outset that there
are certain disadvantages connected with
the publicity, while the certihCation for
appointment includes three names at q
time, There Is a chance that people will
bring pressure TO bear upon the appoint
ing powers TO have them choose some
particular favored one OF the three,
CAN'T Bg HELPED.
"But even when the lists were kept
secret 1t too often happened that the pol.
iticians found out what the public re-
mained ignorant Of and brought pressure
to bear anyhow, So the commission
think that the numerous advantages OF
publicity more than ever balance It's
disadvantages. II the commission finds
that any serious evasion Of the spirit OF
the law occurs through improper pres
sure brought TO bear on the appointing
power, in consequence OF the lists being
made public, then we shall try 10 estab-
lish some regulation to check the evil
we might advise that only two names
at time be certified or take some other
step.
'FAt any rate" remarked Mr.. Roose-
welt, In conclusion, "for the time being,
we are convinced that we want TO have
everything made as public as possible so
as to do away even with the possibility
OF an accusation OF faVoritism or under.
hand wor X In the examinations and the
arrangement OF the eligibles."

This action Of tho commission was ap.

secrecy would prevent politicians from

A WRONG REsULr.
1t has, however, in practice, hO said,
