The CrOnin Case.

CHICAGO, August 2.-The pro-
ceedings in the Cronin case will be re-
sumed before Judge Mcconnell to-
morrow when arguments on aseparate
trial for Burke, Coughlin, O'Sullivan
and Woodruff will be heard.
81 shall argue the motions for the
state" said States Attorney Long
necker, "this afternoon" In answer
to a question he said:
"I don't think the argument will
last long. l don't think there is any
thing in the motions to be argued
If Judge Mcconnell gives his decision
at the close oIthe argument and over
rules the motion the trial will proceed
Thursday morning. Unless the states
attorney can show cause for continu
ance. That he will try to do so may
be inferred from a remark of his as
sociate, Mr.. Hynes, that he thought
the state was entitled to continua
ton and could get it for asking. Mr.
Hynes added that every delay coulc
not down further details of the crime
and strengthen the case.

RICHMOND, TEXAS.
Preliminary Trial of the Parties Engaged

Preliminary Trial or the Parties Engaged
in the Recent Tragedies There.
RICHMOND, Tex, August 27.-The
absorbing topic of conversation here
to-day has been the preliminary trial
of those arrested for participating in
the street fight which resulted in the
death of Mr.. Henry H. Frost, Sheriff
Garvey, ex-Sheriff Blakeley and the
wounding of Messrs. j. w. Parker, w.
M. Andrus, Deputy Sheriff Mason,
Vol Gibson and Frank Schmidt, one
of the state rangers. All of the
wounded are doing well and will soon
be out, it is hoped. Messrs. Parker,
Mason and Schmidt are still confined
to their rooms, but it is thought that
they have passed the dangerous period.
Judge L. G. Hightower, who has been
designated by the governor to hold
the preliminary trials is on hand.
Assistant Attorney General David
son and District Attorney r. E. Han
ney, of Hampstead, appeared for the
prosecution, and for the defense Judge
Hickey, of Brazoria, Capt. p. e.. Pear
son, Mitchell & Mitchell, of Richmond,
and Capt. S. Taliferro. Sheriff Aten
has made the following arrests of citi-
zens of this place, who are charged
with the killing of Sheriff Garvey:
Calvin Blakely, F. l. Booth, Ike
McFarlane, c. A. Beasley, Yandell
Ferris, Hugely Pearson, G. w. Parnell,
X. R. Ferris, E. A. Pearson, S. j.
Winston, Will McFarlane, Sullivan
Miles, Marion Fields, William Stewart,
jim Gibson, jeff Bryant, Harris
Mitchell, Will Andrus, Sid Pearson,
Will Groce, Earle McFarlane. He
also arrested the following for the
killing of ex-Sheriff ]. w. Blakely:
Earl McFarlane, Calvin Blakely, F.

lane, c. A. Beasley, William Stewart
V. M. Gibson, Jim Gibson, Jr., Yandell

Pearson, S. J. Winston, Will Groce.
1t is said that a number of the par
ties arrested this evening were not on
the street when the fight occurred, ant
others were not in the city.
At present it looks as if this triaI
will consume the entire week, but
Judge Hightower has announced thai
he will leave Friday, as he has an i'm
portant habeas corpus case in his owl
district set for Saturday. Everything
is quiet here and is likely to remail
so. Sheriff Aten made the arrest
alone, and there was no resistance
from anyone.

much alarmed.
Among cattlemen it is the prevalent
belief that the disease is not Texas

vent the shipment of cattle from

MILWAUKEE.
BIG PARADE OF THE GRAND ARMY
OF THE REPUBLIC AT THEIR
ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT.
Washington Gossip-Accident and Criminal
ities-1ncidents, Sensational and
Otherwise.

8 MILWAUKEE, August 27.-This morn
ing the cities and towns of the state
seemed to have emptied themselves
into Milwaukee, and by noon fully
10000 Wisconsin people from
outside the city had arrived.
In the hotels the crush was terrible.
1t was all one could do to force his
way through. In the Plankinton
house, especially, where Gen. Sher-
man, Gen. Alger, Commissioner
Tanner and Mrs. Logan were, crowds
were standing around waiting to get a
glimpse of the distinguished parties.
Mrs. Logan, coming down the steps
from the large dining hall about 9
o'clock leaning ON the arm of Gen.
Alger, was forced to hold an impromptu
reception, as the crowd of veterans
from one direction and bevy of
ladies from the opposite direction
rushed to greet her. Mrs. Logca had
a distinguished appearance as she
stood step above the crowd before
her. Her ruddy face set in frame of
silver white hair was wreathed with
smiles. She seems to never tire of re-
ceiving the greeting of the "BoysSa and
certainly the "Boys" never tire of
greeting her. She divides the honors
with Gen. Sherman.
The parade vas the great event OF
the day, and while not so long as
some anticipated, was well managed
and fine spectacle and complete
success. The head of the column
began to move at 10 o'clock and
reached the reviewing stand on Grand
avenue at 10 80. A conservative esti-
mate of the number of men who
passed that point places it at 5000.
A noticeable incident of the
parade was the enthusiasm of the old
veterans. Whenever they caught a
glimpse of General Sherman he was
greeted with round after round OF
scheers.

WACO, August 27.-This afternoon
about o'clock William Bell, a painter,
was stabbed aud badly wounded by
Stella Ferguson. The stabbing was
done in front of Stella's house, in the
part of the city set aside by the city
council for the residence of women of
her class, and is known as Point Com
fort. The woman committed the act
while in fit of jealous rage, and none
of the bystanders seemed to have seen
it and Bell pretends that he does not
believe she did it. Stella was accused
of similar offense several months
ago but her victim refused to prose-
cute. Bell was stabbed in the abdom-
inal regions near the right side, the
blade entering the cavity.

NEWS FOR CATTLEMEN.
Alleged Discovery Of Texas Fever in Herds
South Of Arkansas City,.

KANSAS CITY, August 27.-Reliable
news of the greatest importance to
cattlemen in all sections of the United
States comes from the southern line
of Kansas and the pastures of the In
dian territory. There have been for
some time suspicious among cattle
dealers that the herds of native and
Texas cattle in the territory were al
fected with Texas fever. A man named
VIM. johnson, just returned from a
trip to Oklahoma, and who passed
through the country where the herds
are pastured, says that not only are
natives afflicted, but the thorough
Texans are dying by hundreds in the
pastures south Of Arkansas City. The
symptoms are exactly the same as
Texas fever, but thorough Texans
have never been known tc
die of the disease before
He says cattle are being shipped tc
market from the pasture where car
casses are lying in hundreds, and o
the same brands as those shipped ano
that thew are considered good enough
for Gamers stock and everything
goes. A colored man, who bough
1870 head of good natives and ha'
