HOW GROWN WAS TRAPPED.

Weaving tho Web of Evidence Tightly
 Around the Conspirators.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Publio interest in the Cronin case intensifles as the trial progresses. The line of evidence now being introduced by the State is a con- tinuation of the proof of identity, after which it is intended to take up the de- tails of the execution of the plot.
 Napier Moreland, Pat Dinan's hostler, testified as to the hiring of the horse and buggy on the night Cronin was killed, and described the stranger who came for the rig.
 Mrs. Conklin identified the card of O'Sulliyan, the iceman, that had bean presented by the man. The latter's eyes, she said, were the most villainous she had ever seen, When she taxed O'Sulli- van with the seeming connection be- tween himself and Cronin's disappear ance he said he could not explain it. He was very nervous and could not look witness in the face.
 In cross-examination MT. Forrest sought to involve the witness in con- tradictions, but failed utterly. Dr. McCahey's letter has caused great excitement among his friends. John Devoy and John F. Scanlan say that the McCahey letter will force the hands of the State and injure the case. The let ter is bitter against Alexander Sulli- van, but 1t is chiefly of importance be- cause it makes public the telegrams and cablegrams between Sullivan and Patrick Egan, concerning which the Grand Jury had placed Sullivan under bail. That Grand Jury, 1t will be re. membered, returned no indictment and made no official mention whatever of Alexander Sullivan; but Dr. McCahey, with the same set of facts and the same | telegraphic messages before him, seems to sec farther than the Grand Jurors did, and in his letter inveighs strongly against Sullivan, accusing him of furn. ishing convincing proofs for his words l and actions that Dr. Cronin had been removed" long before the body was found

sHROUDED IN MYSTERY.

An Interview With the Parties
 Boarded in Brideeport.
 The Bridgeport News has made an un- successful attempt to solve the mystery surrounding the death of Miss Julia O'Rourke of this city. The News says A reporter called last evening at the Gregory street, where Miss O'Rourke boarded during her last few weeks in this city. Mrs Gould was found in the apartments of F. D. Gritman, who re- sides with his family on the first floor of the same house. Mrs Gould said "Julia had been boarding with me about three weeks. She was employed as a stitcher in Langdon, Batchellor & Co.'S corset factory. Before she came to live with me she boarded with family on La fayette street, do not know exactly 10 board at my house she was taken sick. did everything in my power to help her. Mrs Gritman was also very kind, and spent great deal of her time caring for her. She was ill about a week. During that time two physicians visited her. She began to improve, and on the 18th inst insisted upon going home. We did everything we could to have her stay until her sister arrived, but she would not listen to this. My husband accordingly en- gagged cab, and she was taken to the depot. She then took a train for Bir- mingham where her sister resides, but failing to find her started for her home in Waterbury. That was the last I heard of her until Sunday night, when the sad news of her death reached me. " Mrs Gritman:swas also seen by the re- porter, and stated in substance the facts as related above. Afterwards MT Grit man informed the reporter that the unfortunate girl told his wife that an operation had been performed on her by the physician who first had charge of the case. The people with whom Miss O'Rourke had been boarding, speak of her as a very pleasant young woman, and feel much depressed at the news of her sad death. She was 8 general favorite with her shopmates.
 Medical Examiner North said to-day, that after complete investigation into the young lady's death, he finds ''no just cause of suspicion attaching to any doctor in Bridgeport"

rHE NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.

They VIII be Smaller and the Color
 of the Two-Center win be Carmine.
 The American Bank Note company of New York are to make the new postage stamps. The engravings for the stamps will be three-fourths by seven-eighths of an inch, the present size being one inch by twenty five thirty seconds of an inch. The color chosen for the new two-cent stamp is carmine. Experienced printers declare that carmine is a very trouble some ink to work with, while some of the postofice officers believe that the high cost of the best qualities of carmine will be constant temptation to the con tractors to use an inferior grade. The one cent stamp will continue to be print ed in an ultra-marine blue. The other stamps will be: Three-cent, royal pur- pie four-cent chocolate five-cent, light brown six-cent, vermillion fifteen: cent, steel blue thirty-cent, black and ninety-cent, orange. The change in size will require the making of new dies, rolls and plates for the engravings. The contract runs for four years from January 1st, 1890.

New York 5, Brooklyn 8.

BROOKLYN, Oct. 9o.-New York won its fifth game in the worlds champion ship series by heavy batting, knocking Terry, the star pitcher fer the Brook lyns, out of the box, and pounding his relief, FoutE, pretty freely.
 Rain was imminent all the morning, and the fact decided hundreds against going to Washington Park. It cleared up . triae after o'clock, but not enough to entice the fair weather cranks out of their safe and oomforta- ble seclusion. Tho army of confirmed oranks, however. put in an appearance, as usual, and the customary 2.B00 were on hand when the game opened.
 The Giants were first at the bat. Slattery hit safely and went to second on Tiernan's single to left. Ewing fol- lowed with sacrifice which advanced both runners base. Then Ward bunt- cd safely and the bases were filled. Connor drove . two-baser into right field and Slattery and Tiernan scored. Riohardson's smashing single to left brought both Ward and Connor home and Danny himself scored few minutes later on O'Rourke's long fly out to O'Brien. The Giants increased their lead four runs in the second on Slattery's base on balls, Tiernan's hit, EW1ngS tWO-DaSer, Waro'S punt, ana Connor's single. Brooklyn scored two in the first inning on Collins base on balls and Foutz's home run drive to deep centre, but after this inning Crane had them at his mercy and not a Groom crossed the plato until the cyclone" let up in the eighth inning, ct which stage of the game New York had 8 lead of thirteen runs.
