CHICAGO, Nov. AIN the Cronin trial
yesterday Mrs. Annie Carlson was
placed on the stand. The young woman
began her testimony very timidly. AZ
ter few questions she became so nervous
! that her replies were almost inaudible.
1t frequently became necessary for the
court Stenographer to repeat aloud the
/ barely uttered sentences which fell from
her lips
The witness told how, on the 2Sth of
March. while she was at the Carlson's,
a man came to rent the cottage which
stood near the house. He said his sis
ter was to keep house for him, and that
he had some furniture he wanted to
move in at once lie gave his name as

Twill you point him out to the jury?'
There he is" the witness said, point
ing directly to Martin Burke.
do you mean Martin Burke-that
man?" continued Mr.. Mills, pointing to
Burke again.
Yes" replied the witness.
Jonas Carlson. the owner of the cot
tage, was the next witness He corrob-
grated the testimony of his daughter-in-
law about the stranger coming to rent
the cottage. He told about the stranger
renting the cottage for month for S12,
and paying the money down.
The witness described the Carlson
cottage, the furniture and other sur
roundings; told of conversations be-
tween parties who rented the cottage
and was finally asked if he saw Frank
Williams, the man who rented the cot
tage, in the room.
The old gentleman hesitated, glanced
at the jurors, inspecting each closely,
swept his eyes over the audience, looked
at the reporters, lawyers, then settled
back in his chair with shake of the
head.
step down from the stand and look
again
The old man left the stand, walked
about among the reporters, attorneys
for the defense, and finally his gaze
rested on Martin Burke.
He smiled, waved his hand and re-
turned TO his chair.
You see the man, do you, who called
himself Frank Williams when he rent
ed the cottage?"
Eyes, sir
Where is hep"
That's him sitting there" pointing
to Martin. Burke.
That sealed Martin Burke'S doom and
cold perspiration oozed out all over his
face.

ness through a vigorous and rattling

memory, hearing, events at the cottage,
but failed to shake him in single de-
tail.

KILLED IN A FACTORY.

Fifty Working Girls Killed by the Failing
of "a Building at Glasgow, Scotland.
GLASGOW, Nov "A terrible disaster
occurred in this city yesterday The
gable wall of building that was being
erected along side of the Templeton
carpet factory, on William street, was
blown down. An immense mass of de-
bris fell on the roof of the weaving de-
partment of the factory, crushing it in
and burying fifty girls and women en-
ployed in the weaving room. tits prob
able that forty of those buried are
dead. The accident happened shortly
after the wOrkmen had left the build
ing. There were 14O girls at work in
the carpet factory. The majority of
them made their way out safely, but
many had narrow escapes. The build
ing was 800 feet long. There is rumor
that the foundation of the building was
laid over disused coal pit. Survivors
of the accident relate that sudden eX-
tinguishing of the lights was the only
warning. All made a rush for the
exit, which became damned. There
most of the bodies were found
during the search. The tremor result
ing from the fall of the building was
felt for great distance. Many pathetic
scenes were witnessed among the pa
rents and other relatives of the VIC
tins.
1ater-Twenty-five bodies have been
recovered. The search for more bodies
is being vigorously prosecuted The
latest estimate of loss of life by the fall
is that fully fifty persons have been
killed. The loss of property aggregates
fully 915.0O0.

Electric Dangers.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3O.-The guard wire
of the Mount Auburn electric street
railroad, which hangs ahovs the con-
Quoting wire to prevent other wires
from coming in contact with the electric
current, broke, and, as it formed cir
cult when resting on the charged wire
with one end on the street, the current
passed through it. The wire became
white with heat and sparkled and famed
with the blue and white flashes of an
overcharged conductor. Confusion
reigned on the streets as the burning
wire fell in pieces. Fortunately no one
was hurt.
