THE WOOL MARKET.
A Very Satisfactory Condition of

tion OF trade, general sales and demand

the wool manufacturers, both the buyers

therefore anticipate gleefully future heavy

claimed, from the the fact that the main fea-

A new CRONIN SENSATION.
The Irish Doctor Was Killed by
British Spies.
HE HAD SOME TELL TALE PAPERS.
The Cian-Na-Gaei Man Played "
Slick on the Bigiish Sleuths
But the Trick Cost Him
HIS Life.

CHICAGO, Sept iS.--A local paper this
evening prints a sensational article regard
ing tho Cronn case.
1t Gays the lawyers for the defense claim
to be in possession of evidence showing that
the murderers of Cronn were representa-
tives of the English government who had
been duped by Cronin, who was supposed by
the British authorities to be one of their
American spies,
Tho form this evidence has taken and In
which il will be presented on trial in behalf
of the defense is a number of letters 10y Miss
Lecarron, daughter of the notorious witness
in the Parnel case, to her aflianced husband
in Chicago.
These letters have been written from Lon
don at brief intervals ever since Miss
Lecarron joined her father in this city last
winter. The story outlined in the letters is to
the effect that Lecarren and Burlingam, with
whom he was in partnership on the north
side, were both spies; that Dr. Cronin
learned their real character, and in order to
get fuller insight into their plans permitted
them to think he could be hired. He ap-
parently accepted their proposition that he
should enter the American branch OF the
English secret service, and obtained all the
Information without giving any IN return.
They became suspicious and sought To obtain
from him certain papers given in his sup
posed character as spy. He refused TO give
them up. Meanwhile Lecarron was sum-
moned to EnglBnd to testify against Parnell.
Burlingam was told to obtain the documents,
but Cronin refused to yield them and threat
ened exposure of English practices in
America. II was resolved to rob him OF the pa
per, and it was in that attempt that the doc
tor was killed Burllugam has since sold
out his drug store aud disappeared.
The Evening journal has the same story
in substance and adds that in opposition
thereto il is claimed that at the proner stage
OF the Cronin trial the prosecution will pro-
duce as witnesses T. j. kirly, who was IN
Chicago rs an agent of the British govern
ment some time before Cronin's murder prv-
ing into the secrets of the Clan gael; Lo
carron, the spy, and Patrick Cooney, famil-
iarly known rs 1.-The Fox" Lecarron, it ia
alleged, has revealed to American detectives
the names OF certain men upon whom suspi-
cion has not rested.
Industrious researches by Times reporter
produced the Chicago correspondent OF Miss.
Lecaron. His name is George E. May, a
clerk IN a sporting goods establishment Mr..
May admitted he had been the recipient OF
letters from Gertrude Lecaron.
81 hate to have my name brought into this
thing" said he, but pledge you my word
there is not even reference made to DIR.
Cronin in all the letters"
Mr.. May was certain Miss Lecaron had no.
other gentleman friend in Chicago with
whom she corresponded, although he waa
aware she was writing to Young lady.

The Educational Report.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-H. N. r. Dawson,
commission of education, has filed with the
secretary of the interior his annual report
for the year ended June 30 1889, in the course
of which he says that from an analysis of the
reports for 1867 to 1SS6.S7, it appears the
growth of the system, considering the whole
country, outstripped during that period the
growth of population l.6 per cent. This gain
the commissioner says is due entirely TO the
progress of public schools supported by pub
lie funds, which he says, are becoming each
year more universally prevalent. The pub
lie school system of the southern states are
undergoing an unprecedented development
under laws adapted to local circumstances
and are now practically all established on a
permanent basis The colored children are
appOrtioned an equal share OF the school FUNDS
except in the state of Delaware, and there
the schools are kept open as long and
under as well paid teachers as those of the
white children. The funds for the support
of those schools are furnished mainly by the
white Inhabitants
Discussing the conditions affecting public
education, he continues: "The necessity that
the southern states are under OF maintaining
two system should ever be borne in mind.
Statistics show that about GA per cent of the
white population of school age in the south
ern states is enrolled, while of the colored
population about 53 per cent are on the lists"
Compulsory education, the commissioner
says, forms no feature of the southern school
system.
In the course of his remarks upon the pub
lie schools in ,he principal cities, the com
missioner says: I'm no department of the
city school work is Improvement more mani
fest than in the primary schools, aud this for
the reason perhaps that in them there was
the greatest room Tor Improvement"
The commissioner says though thousands
of dollars have been invested in apparatus TO
be used in tine development of the mind, no
provisions worthy of serious consideration
haan
body upon whose sound condition effective
mental effort greatly depends.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 1s.-Forest fires are
now raging in several places near this city.
In Clarke county, Washington Territory, on
the north side of the Columbia river, fires
have done great damage. The villages of
Washouoga and LaCamas were saved from
the flames only by Che greatest efforts. The
farming districts have suffered much. A
number of houses and barns have been de-
stroyod, also orchards, fences, hay, etc.
AT Lents, seven miles southeast of
Portland, fires have been raging for sew
eral days, committing havoc among farms.
Barns have been swept away with grain,
etc The whole country has been out fight
ing the fire for several days and nights.
Only by the greatest efforts have many
buildings been saved. For several days past
terrific forest fire has been raging just
west of this city. Several buildings have
been destroyed and at last accounts the fire
was spreading rapidly. 1t is now moving
down toward the city park and may cross
the limits of the city. The authorities have
out large force of men to watch the fire,
and should it move toward the park they
will try and beat it off. The losses resulting
thus far to timber, houses, fencing, orch
ards, etc, by the forest fires have been very
heavy.

A Chicago Mans Device for Yanking
Pennir Out of the XaIcr

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S-[Special Telegram to
The BEE. Captain JACK Z. Mccarthy, the
assistant harbor master, to-day successfully
made the trial Of ms scheme for rescuing
drowning people from the river by means of
pike pole.
Long before the hour announced for the
test crowds of people assembled on the
Wells street bridge. Mayor Cregier, accom-
panied by Sir Henry knight and number
of aldermen, stood on the center pier of the
bridge. Just aJ II rs O'Clock the bridge was
turned and Immediately there was plunge
ana Captain JACK was supposed to be drown =
ing. The jump into the filthy water was
made from the north pier where q policeman
was ready with his pike pole The jumper
had scarcely touched the water when the
sharp hooks on the end of the pole were
fastened 10 his clothes and he was kept from
sinking until a man in boat hauled him
aboard.
McCarthy's pike pole is about twenty-five
feet long and very light. On the end it has
four small hooks which are SO bent as 10
easily catch in the clothing of tho drowning
person, but will not stick into the flesh
There is no difficulty in handling the pole,
and a boy of thirteen years could easily rcs-
cue a person who had fallen into the river.

The Ccrneau Rite Case.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Sept. is Special
to THE BEE. Judge Preston to-day rem
dered his decision in the much talked OF
Cerneau Rite-Iowa Grand Lodge case. He
granted the petition of the grand lodge dis
solving the temporary injunction granted by
him few weeks ago restraining the grand
lodge from enforcing certain resolutions
which that body adopted at it's last annual
session against the members of the Cerneau
Rite. He gives no lengthy opinion, except
that he says the decision is based upon the
allegations of the counsel of the grand lodge
that there was nothing for which, in fact, to
enioin them. The grand lodge asserted that
there was no resolution to eXpel, but simply
to discipline the members of the Iowa con-
sistory if they did not recant their Cerneau-
Ism, The discipline, however, does not
mean expulsion, and the Hon. George W..
Ball, one of the attorneys for the grand
lodge, said in his pleading that if the grand
lodge should vote upon expulsion of mem
bers for belonging to Cerneau bodies it
could not be carried, and he would vote
against such action. If there had been any
expulsion, or If the grand lodge could expel
a member for such an offense, there might
have been different decision on the ques-
ton. The Judge also said that the civil
courts could interfere in such a case under
three conditions: First, when member
had been expelled without having been given
notice of such action by which to defenu
himself; second, when a member has been
expelled contrary to the rules of a body like
that of the Masonic bodies; third, when a
member has been expelled for disobeying
the laws of that body which contravene
such laws. AS there had been no expulsion
he rules that the petition asking for per
manent injunction is premature. The case
will probably be appealed to the supreme
cOuru.

CHICAGO, Sept. lS.-lSpecal Telegram
to The BEE. Solomon Q. Schimischele-
WITT, to-day sued the Btna Life Insurance
company for $1,000 Solomon relate u tale
that would read we'll in a collection of fairy
stories.
In August, 1885, Nelson A. Schimischele-
WITT, son of Solomon, took out policy with
the 4Etna for 1000 in his fathers favor.
About year ago Nelson disappeared and his
father says he went to Russia TO visit rela-
tives. Christmas night last, while Nelson
was crossing the river Neva, he drove into a
hole which the Greek church authorities had
cut in the ice for the purpose of immersing
the image of Christ. After the immersion
the church fathers very thoughtlessly left
the hole in the ice without any red lanterns
or danger signals and Nelson drove in. At
that point the river Neva has very strong
current and it is supposed the missing mans
body went to sea. The Insurance company
say they have no proof that Nelson, of the
unpronounceable name, is defunct. They
even go as far as to insist that he is not
dead, and refuse to pay the amount of the
policy.
