CHICAGO, Dec. 1l,-Forrest resumed
his address in the Cronin case this morn.
ing, arguing that the horse which drew
Cronin away to his death was not Oman
white horse. Forrest cited the. probabil.
ity to form Coughlin's words and actions
in favor of a theory of innocence. why
should Coughlin harm Cronin?" said he.
"Cronin had never injured him-had
never wronged him in any way. Don't
you see the the whole thing is absurd?"
Forrest said Martenz. the expressman
who hauled the furniture to the Carlson
cottage had he been an Irishmau, would
have been suspected OF completely.
He u that there was no evidence
that Burke fed to Winnipeg. When
questioned by the police there he volun.
tarily gave his true name and his alias.
There was absolutely no evidence that
Burke was at the Carlson cottage on the
night of the murder. Forrest closed his
argument, which has lasted three days
and a half, with an appeal to the jury for
an acquittal, and court adjourned until
Friday.

Johnstown's Last Calamity.

JoHNsTowN, Dec. 1.-The accident
at the opera house last night ia an awful
illustration of the highly nervous condi-
ton of a large number of people in this
unfortunate city, Under ordinary cir
cumstances and before the food, there
would have been no catastrophe. There
has been a disposition to draw morbid
conclusions from the Conemaugh calam-
ity, and it has fastened itself upon the
women, the young folks, and many e
citable middle aged people. 1t has been
no uncommon thing to hear such remarks
as well, | wonder what will happen
next" I'VE have had a food. now look
out for a fire; "Johnstown is under a
curse"
There is no exaggeration in saying
there has been an underlined but unmis.
taxable feeling of toreboding of the COM
ing i'll and this is what led to the awful
slaughter last night. Those who first
started out went from curiosity to see
where the fire was, but they did so ex-
citedly and instantly and the effect was a
panic. The bell which struck the alarm
was so close to the theater hat it seemed
to be sounding In the building itself and
never was confusion more precipitate and
awful among human beings.
Two crowds fought against each other
at the theater door and a terrible loss was
the result. A woman said this afternoon
she saw two men actually stopp to
fight when both of them had an oppor-
tunity to escape. With an oath, IT'S
my life or yours" one man knocked his
antagonist down in a furious manner. No
more deaths have resulted, the number OF
deaths as before stated being ten. Twenty
two are seriously hurt, some OF whom
will likely die. Probably fifty others sus
tanned slight injuries. The funerals OF
the victims will take place Friday.

at the city hall, which. although simple
and brief, were wonderfully impressive.
At the conclusion of the religious ser
viceslthe casket was born by a detachment
OF soldiers to the handsomely decorated
c~aisson, on which it was conveyed to the
cemetery. The cassion was covered with
a canopy supported by bronze canons and
muskets and draped with United States
flags. The casket rested on a slight eleva-
ton and tie cassion was drawn by six
black horses, each lead by a soldier in uni
form, With marvellous military precis-
ion the battalions wheeled into line pre-.
ceGed by a detachment of city police,
followed by the clergy, pail bearers and so
OF until the mammoth procession formed.
The procession after leaving the city
hall proceed up St. Charles Street to
Calliope, from Caliope into Camp, thence
to Charities to st. Louis to Royal. The
honorary pail bearers were Governors
Nichols of Louisiana, Lowry of Mississ-
ippi, Buckner of Kentucky, Gordon of
Georgia, Richardson of South Carolina,
Fowle of North Carolina, Fleming of
Florida. The procession was an hour and
ten minutes passing a given point.
A detail of honor from the battery
bore the casket up the ascent to the foot
of the Jackson monument, beneath
which are the tombs in which it was to be
be placed.
Bishop Thompson opened the cere-
monies by reading the first portion of the
Episcopal burial services. Then Private
Sappington of Co. B 10th United States
infantry, sounded the taps on the
bugle and Bishop Gallaher read the sec.
ond portion of the ritual consigning the
body to the grave. An anthem was then
sung by the choristers, Bishop Thompson
recited the Lords Prayer, and then the
hymn Rock OF Ages was rendered and
the religious rites were over.
Bishop Gallaher gave the signal of
closing, the casket was raised from its
bier and soldiers, bearing it on their
shoulders marched around to the doorway
at the back OF the monument and the
casket was placed IN the middle of the
vault, the slab screwed tight and the dead
had found a temporary resting place in
the tomb OF the army of Northern VIr-
ginia. An artillery salute was fired and
the funeral was over.

Centennial Exercises.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin pursuance
OF a resolution adopted by congress in
February, both houses met in the hall of
representatives to-day to hold centennial
exercises in commemoration ofthe inaug-
uration of the first president. 1t was lit
orally a gathering of nations, and through
the foreign LEGATIONS resident In Wash
ington all were officially represented.
Added to this were the delegates from the
Central and South American republics to
the Pan American congress, and members
of tho marine conference. There were
also present the governors OF twenty states
drawn hither for consultation in regard to
memoralizing congress for the erection of
a centennial building at Philadelphia.
The galleries were packed and shortly
before | o'clock the house of representa-
tives notified the senate that it was in SEES
sion. In a few minutes the senate pre-
coded by the president and vice president,
members of the diplomatic corps and
Justices of the supreme court of the
United States, entered and we're escorted
to seats in front OF the speakers desk.

Grafton on the progress OF America.

competency, no treachery could shake OF
overcome. He had become first in the
hearts of his .countrymen because the
people comprehended the greatness OF
their leader and recognized in him an en-
tire absence of personal ambition and an
absolute love of country, OF themselves
and of mankind. He had become first in
peace by bringing to the charge of practi-
cal working system he had participated in
creating on behalf of a people whose In-
dependence he had achieved, the same
severe judgment, the same sagacity, the
same patience, the same sense of duty,
the same foresightedness and comprehen-
sion of an end to be obtained that marked
his career from its beginning"
Referring to fear of arbitrary power in
respect to the presidential office, Fuller
said: But no fear, no jealousy, could be
entertained of him who had Indignantly
repelled the suggestion of the bestowal of
a kingly power; who had unsheathed
his W sword with reluctance and laid it
down with joy. Who had V sought
an official position, but accepted a public
office as a public trust in Difference to so
unanimous a demand for his services as to
convince him of its necessity; whose pat
riotism embraced the whole country, the
future grandeur of which his prescience
foresaw,'
Fuller spoke of the Pan American con-
gress and the lasting form of our govern
ment and closed with a brilliant perora-
ton predicting the grand future OF the
nation.
Rev. w. II. Mlburn, house chaplain,
delivered the bencdiction and while the
Marine band played national airs the as
semblage dispersed.

GENTLEMEN: In response to your
inquiry as to the work you have
recently done for us, we take pleas
ure in stating that the result of the
change made is very satisfactory.
We were using double fued boil
ers, which took two men to fire, and
consumed about seventy-five bush
els of coal per day, in addition to
the waste fuel; now, with the two
new fiued boilers you put in, we
work all the steam we can use to
supply a hundred and fifty horse
power engine, with one fireman and
very little coal; a good deal of the
time we use mono at all. The adj
vantages arising from the new boil
ers and the new heater which you
made for us, have executed our ex-
pectaiions. Yours truly,
KANAwHA LUMBER & Fur. Go.
