CRONIN CASE EVIDENCE.
Liveryman Oman Tells About Cougnlin Hir-
ing the Now Famous White Horse.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26-The Cronin trial was
resumed this morning. The evidence con-
tinued to show the character of the wounds
and the cause of death.
After DR.. Moore testified at great length
and with minuteness as to the wounds on
DR.. Cronin's body, the defense moved to
exclude his testimony on the ground that
that he had read the verbatim report of the
trial made by the Associated Press in this
mornings papers, which gave the testi-
mony of DR.. Egbert They argued the
physician read this, knowing he was to tes-
tify, and that the order of the court ex-
cluded witnesses while the testimony was
being taken, yet the reading of the testi-
mony had precisely the same effect as hear
| ing it.
Judge Mcconnell said it was beyond his
power to remedy the matter, and over
ruled the motion.
Pat Oman, the livery stable keeper, then
testified that Coughlin, one of the prison
ers, engaged horse and buggy for friend
on the day Cronin was murdered. This
friend came in the evening and took out a
white horse and buggy. Next morning
Coughlin cautioned the witness not to say
anything about his connection with the
matter, as it was known be and Gro
min were not friends. and it might get him
(Coughlin) into trotble. This is the horse
an / buggy in which Cronin was carried to
his death.
After long and severe cross examina
ton of Oman by Mr.. Forrest, of counsel
for the defense, in which the witness was
not at all confused, the court adjourned
until Monday morning.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 26.-Last evening the
Chronicle Telegraph said: Herr Krupp, the
great gunmaker Of Essen, Germany, is
strongly considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
coming to this city and building a plant
after the model of his great factory in
the Rhenish provinces. Several represent
atives Of the famous gunmaker have been in
the city during the last month or so gather
ing all kinds Of information which would
warrant such a plant One of these said:
There are coed many reasons why my
master wishes to remove his plant to this
city. First is the fact that Europe may at
any time become the scene of great war.
OF course in such C case Krupp would have
to stand by his fatherland, and from pa
triotic considerations he would manu-
facture guns for Germany alone.
Now as all the world knows
Krupp makes more guns than any other
firm in the world. If, therefore, our plant
were established in neutral country, we
could furnish our guns to any power; but,
apart from that, the natural advantages of
Western Pennsylvania are so tempting and
their value has been so conclusively shown
clined to removal
But you do not mean to say that he is
going to remove his entire plant, bag and
baggage, into this country!
Yes, do. Do not forget that Krupp is
young man. Since his father died the
young man has developed all kinds of no.
tons and he will not stop until they have
materialized. l know that syndicate has
offered him 100, 100000 francs for his plant
in Essen, and whether or not he ever sells it
would not affect his plans regarding Pitts
burg
What kind of plant is it proposed to
erect herep
Herr Krupp proposes to buy tract Of
land large enough to hold his works and
sufficient houses to accommodate all his
employees; tract of five square miles, l
think is what he is figuring on at present.
We employ now about twenty thousand
men in Essen. The building of complete
town is Herr Krupp's idea, town which
is to be modelled exactly after the
Kronenberg colony of Krupp near Essen.
The advantages OF natural gas have come
to the notice of my master, and he has be-
come enthusiastic over the wonderful
fuel. have plans of the entire plant and
town.
where will you locate your wOrkSe
Il am not at liberty to say that for obvious
reasons. l have options on the land all
fixed, and in such shape that we could
lay the foundation Of our plant tomorrow.
However, one thing will tell you it is less
than twenty-five miles from Pittsburg,
and within easy access of railroads and
rivers, and close to the large and rich dis
trict of natural gas'n

supposed she was legally married,

boarding with her maid, at the rate of Sl2

fraud has developed into the utmost Ger
tainty She and Crenshaw fooled the
Hollenden people for month and half
to the tune of over six hundred dollars,
and after the had found that her husband
had not been divorced from his first wife
when he married her, had him put in Jail
She pulled the wool over the eyes of
several business men, her own LAWYER

them but believed she was an heiress with
land in England, Canada and Colorado

all the airs and graceS and the ShreWdness
and apparent refinement of a highly &C
complished young woman who had seen
something of the world. Tonight the fcl-

her father, had an idea that he knew where
Captain kidd's treasure was buried
Various travelling men have made her
acquaintance on the strength of her talk
about her wealth. She is monomanic;
it is evident two fools have met. AS to her
wealth, social standing, ETC., the whole
thing is a faze.''
The managers of the Hollenden allowed
Crenshaw and the young woman to run up
the bill of 5000 on a telegram of guarantee
from Wilson, whom she represented to be
a wealthy vess Imam. Crenshaw metcthe

worse bitten of the two Yesterday

men.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Gladstone made an
address at Chester today on the condition
of the working classes. In concluding he
urged the English workmen to study the
history of the American revolution He
claimed it was by and from this country
that the love of freedom was sown in
America England now in return reaped
the advantages from the Ameri-
can vindication of those principles
of freedom which animated the revolution
The system of government in America
combined that love of freedom, respect for
law and desire for order which formed the
surest elements of national excellence and
greatness. 1t was not extravaganza to say
that, although there were only 1000, 900 of
people in the thirteen states at the time of
the revolution, the group of statesmen that
proceeded from them were a match for any
in the whole world and were superior to
those of any one epoch.

attempted to shoot Moore, but the cart

bullet missed its mark. Finch was then
overpowered. Finch was formerly boat

He claimed there was money due him, and

was told that the money had been sent to
London because he had failed to comply
with certain rules, and this led to the

watchful eye of the city marshal there
would no doubt have been weddingin high

marshal played the detective, and as a con-
sequence to-day the young lady was given
suit of mans clothes and told to wear
them until she could prove beyond doubt
that she was not man. The strangest part
of it is the woman, or rather man, greatly
resembles Tascott, the Chicago murderer,
and he will be held until the chief of police
Of that city can be consulted with.

Improved Transcontinental Mail Service.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-General Superin
tendant Bell. of the railway mail service,
has made public an important change in
the transcontinental fast mail service, to
take effect November 10. 1889. On March
4, 1889, the time of going west from New
York to San Francisco was 12S hours and
fifteen minutes, which was reduced to us
hours and As minutes on May 4, 1889, and
by November the schedule fast mail time
going west from ocean to ocean will be los
hours and forty-tiv minutes.
One very important feature is the fact
that the trains will all reach San Francisco
early in the day and the mails will be dis
tributed by 10 a. N.
On March-4, the time from San Francisco
to New York was al hours; on May 4, the
time was reduced to l21 hours. The new
schedule will reduce the time from ocean
| to ocean to III hours, 40 minutes, that is 4
days, Is hours and 30 minutes, leaving San
Francisco at { p. M, after the close of
business, and arriving in New York at
10 :45 a. N. with the mails so assorted as to
permit of their immediate delivery. This
is gain of 1890 hours on the March
schedule, and a gain of 1890 hours on
the May schedule, but as the arri-
walls at both ends will be in the
InOLhlllS lHSIcdu VI tuS cNeullS. II ulcdHS d
gain of fully day over the May schedule.
In both directions the service for all large
cities will be adjusted to connect with the
transcontinental train at either Chicago,
Council Bluffs or Omaha, so that the adj
vantages will be reflected throughout the
entire east and west.
There will be no change in cars west of
Omaha, distance of 1870 miles. The new
arrangement carries with it some very i'm

after have the right TO fix the schedule
from ocean to ocean, provided it is not made
faster than the quickest limited passenger
trains over the same lines. This new serv-
ice is said to be of the highest Importance
to the transcontinental business interests
of the country.
