AFTER CRONIN'S SLAYERs.
Prosecutor Longenecker Sums Up for tn,
Prosecution.

Prosecutor LongenecIser Sums Up for the
Prosecution.
CHICAGO, Nov. 80, 1SS9.-Judge Longe-
necker continuing his argument in the
Cronin case this afternoon said
What more evidence do you want that
the trunk found in the ditch was the one
that was taken to the cottage?
In the catch basin in which was the
body was found cotton, and cotton was
in the trunk.
In the trunk there were hair and
blood, and expert evidence was shown
that the blood and hair were from a
human body.
A man was put on the stand who swore
that he could not tell human blood and
hair from any other. Do you, | ask. do
you believe that the blood and hair were
from dog or guineapig, or from any
living thing except a human being? The
hair and blood belonged to DIR. Cronin.
You certainly do not believe that any
dog or lower animal was killed in the
cottage? Had such been so, why was the
floor painted to cover up the blood of a
dog or animal?
Ishall not take up your time to argue
sueh theory.
Now, what of the men who did this
deed. We find that Beggs has been tell
ing men that Cronin was all right, and
would shortly return. | have no doubt
hat Beggs firmly believed the body
would never be discovered.
The States Attorney then showed the
intimacy that existed between Coughlin
and Kunze. The latter, he continued,
was painter, and it was a painter who
painted the floor of the cottage.
Now, as to Coughlin, he said the horse
was driven by Smith. He tells Oman to
say nothing about the hiring of the white
borca hnpu11ga III might him IN n
trouble, and yet later Coughlin told Cap
tain Shack that he saw Smith after May
l, but did not bring him in despite the
fact that he had been ordered to do so.
Where is Smithf' the States Attorney
cried, with sweeping gesture. Away
with him" Next we have Burke fleeing
to Europe with tickets and money in his
pocket, and, when caught in Winnipeg,
making hard fight, an expensive fight,
against coming back.
"Why did heso fight if his tenancy in
the cottage were innocentY
Because Martin Bourke dealt the blow
that killed the doctor.
"Now gentlemen of the jury i have
done my best to present the case to you.
81 leave the matter in your hands gem
tlemen, ] have had the case on my
hands for months. Officers of the law
have been against me, but the mountain
of evidence has piled against the prison
ers at the bar, and trust that you will do
your duty"
Judge Wing, for the defence, spoke Of
the uncertainty OF circumstaneial evil
dence. His remarks were devoted to
pointing out weaknesses in the case for
the prosecution, and to establishing "a
reasonable doubt in the minds OF the
jury. He was interrupted by the advent
Of the closing hour, and will resume on
Monday.

an outbreak of violence will occur before

GERMANY AND BRAZIL.


Possible Interference with the New Re
pubiic-Suicides of Officers.
By Cable to the United Press
LONDON, Nov. 80, 1Ss9.--If the role of
Germany is foreshadowed by the repeated
articles in the Kreltz Zeitatpg, the Cologne
Gazette, and other journals of like
thoughts of interfering with the course
of events in Brazil.
They persistently harp upon what they
term the German colony" in the south
of Brazil: that is the merchants, clerks and
porters of that nation in the commercial
cities, and pretend to have fears as to the
security of the property belonging to that
class.
The number of Germans there is reck-
oned by these papers at 200, 000 but it is
in reality much less, and sone of them
have thrown in their lot with the coun-
try of their adoption. Not q small por-
ton of these latter are intensely anti
German.
Those not openly so fully appreciate
the advantages of their position, are
gratified at the security of their sons
from CONSUMPTION and are at heart fully
alienated from their native land.
The clerical VosSiScile Zettu1ag exhibits
as freely as it dares to do it's pleasure at
the downfall of the monarchy in the
southern hemisphere, and points out that
the other European powers, especially
those whose naval strength is formidable,
would certainly not view with in
difference any attempt of Germany
to exercise protectorate over almost
the only portion of the vast country &C
cessible to foreign commerce. In the
jealousy of the European powers, it
adds, is the strongest guaranty of the
Brazilian republics safety, and in its in
ternal dissensions its only danger.
The committee appointed to enquireinto
the alarming and constantly increasing
number of suicides among German Off
GERS has completed it's lahors, but its re-
port has not been made public and prob
ably never will be.
1t is understood that the principal rea-
son assigned for the greater number of
suicides is the inability of many of the
poor but proud junior officers to keep up
appearances with those of their more
fortunately situated comrades who have
private means.
Attempts to increase their income by
gambling or speculation lead of course
to debts in most cases, which by the code
can only be acquitted by prompt pay
ment, or the death Of the person incur
ring such obligation.
Another reason, the report might have
stated, is the virtual impossibility which
talented young officers experience of Sc
curing deserved promotion unless they
be of noble family.
Sensitive men. seeing all positions to
which emolument is attached in the hands
of a proscriptive aristocracy, lose all hope
of the future, and naturally for men
with their training, seek the last refnge
of despair.

Montclair were largely responsible for
Sunday disorder. J. Banks Reford said
that young men were being ruined by the
saloon-keepers G. f. Mcdowell said that
it was astonishing to see the numbers of
Montclair men, young and old, who
passed his house every Sunday, bound
for the open saloons in Bloomfield.
j. G. Harvey, of Glen Ridge, said that
other places besides the saloons, such as
meat, cigar and candy stores, should be
closed on Sundays. Mr.. Gardner said
that he was perfectly willing to see all
these places in the town closed, but that

ton would be wise.
A further discussion ensued, finally re-
shifting in the calling of a special meet

NEWARK, Nov. 80, 1889. That the Law
and Order League has not gone out of
business on account of the inaction of the
last Grand Jury, was proved Yesterday
by the beginning of prosecutions against
seven saloon keepers for keeping their
places open on Sunday, Justice Van Ars-

action of the Grand Jury. Secretary
Budd, of the Law and Order League,
made the complaint in each case.
Mr.. Budd said this morning that the
cases not considered by the last Grand
Jury would go over to the next, with an
addition of about score of cases. That
will make about thirty-five liquor cases
for the next Grand Jury to ponder over.

REVISING THE hYMNAL.
EpIscopaIIan Deputies Find the Task
Difficult One.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE Episcopal
ial Convention today resolved that it was in
expedient to make any change in the basis
of deputation in the House of Deputies or
in the manner of voting. A resolution, re-
garding the setting forth of the Episcopal
service in other than the English tongue,
provided such conform with the doctrines of
the book of Common Prayer was agreed to.
A resolution was lost that all changes since
1880 be hereby repealed. A resolution in the
house to recognize no title in the church ex-
cept that of "Right Reverend" for bishops
and Reverend" for the clergy was placed
upon the calendar. The house then went
into committee of the whole on the revision
of the hymnal Copies Of the hymnal with
the proposed amendments and expurgations
were circulated throughout the house. Each
hymn was to be read and voted on. There
are nearly 700 hymns to be voted upon. In
the first half hour only five were disposed Of
strongly against the imitation Of verses they
had known from childhood. A warm debate
occurred on the evening hymn numbered
337. The committee desired to strike out
stanzas l, 4, and 6 as sentimental merely
and not strictly scriptural. A motion to lay
the committees motion on the table was car
ried. 1t was finally decided that the COM
mittee of the whole was incompetent to re-
wise the hymnal and the matter was referred
back to the house. After a recess the hym-
nal revision was referred to a committee
authorized to report to the next general con-
vention.
A motion permitting the tentative use of
the prayer book until the next general con-
vention was carried. Messages from the
House of Bishops were read, declining to
adopt the proposed alterations in the TIE
Deum failing to concur in the consecl alton
of the bishops of California and Missouri
on account of the insufficiency of the time
for the consideration of the subject; concur
ring in the amendment touching tbe election
of bishop within three months of the
meeting of the general convention. AT 8
o'clock the House adjourned until tomorrow
