AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR.

Blaine, Window and Proctor, Not Ready

WASHINGTON, May 90 Political cir

Secretaries Blaine, Window end Proctor
bad rendered their designations 70 Prssi-
dent Harrison. Investigation of the rumOr
showed it to be unfounded, but it was be-
lieved by so many people that the distrust
of the administration was EN- )hasized. The
rumor was to the effect thai Mr. Blaine
had become disgusted with the manner 10
which his recommendations were being
treated, and had persuaded Proctor and
Window, whom he put in the cabinet, to
gO ont Ou strike with him.
All three of the secretaries decline to
give the story so much attention as even a
denial, but it came to the front through
New England sources, and the belief is
that Mr.. Blaine is attempting q Bis
marckian trick, and had the etOry started

De says He Can UnrAvel the CronIn Mys-
tery In Two Days.
CHICAGO, May 23.-''I can unravel this
trunk mystery in forty eight hours, aud
when you clear that up you clear up the
Cronin mystery" This is what Frank
Woodruff, or Black, as he sometimes calls
himself, said to reporter last night in
county Jail, where he Is prisoner. When
asked TO explain his statement that the
body in the trunk was that of a woman,
and that Dr. CrOnin was at the barn when
be got the trunk, Woodruff said
"Wnen the trunk was carted away there
was a man called Doc in the barn. OF
course, l do not pretend to be positive
that it was a wOmsn's body in the trunk. "
The Doctors body WAS wrapped in cot
ton when found; the body in the trunk
wes wrapped in cotton. Besides, the
trunk was found within a stones throw OF
where the Doctors body was found How
does thst strike yOu as a refutatiOn Of your
theOry?'
For several moments cunning Mr.. Wood
ruff remained silent, stroking his very thin
mustache and putting his cigar. well,
it looks odd, and don't believe the body
is that of DR.. Cronin's, he said, desper-
ately.
But it is the Doctors, proven so beyond
doubt"
81 can clear the trunk mystery up in
forty. eight hours" said Woodruff, land
when / 10 that l clear up the CrOnin mys-
terry. The two are identical"
why do you say that ?" asked the re-
porter.
Because l know it. l won't give my
reasons, but know it.
One ofthe strongest points against the
prisoner was his description Of DR.. Cronin.
/ Il was in fact the only accurate description
/ furnished of the Doctor where last seen.
Then Woodruff stated that the man
he claimed was the Doctor, wore gOatee,
/ the friendU of Dr. CrOnin laughed at the
statement, and said the Doctor never wore
a goatee. Yet when ths body was found
Yesterday there WAS gOatee OF only few
weeks growth The conclusion is drawn
by the reporter, that if Woodruff had not
seen Crouin before the night Of his mystic
rious disappearance, ne must have had
careful look at him that night that the sp-
/ pearance Of dead person is apt to impress
one most wildly, and that when he de-
scribed the man he saw at the barn called
| doc, ," it is probable that Woodruff had
a good view Of the Doctors corpse.

SHR0UDED In DOUBT.
CRONlN'S FOUL ASSASSIN STILL REMAINS
AT LARGE
The Police st Work on Clues but so Far They Have
Found Noihmg-A Horrible Conspiracy
Hntst at-WoOdruf Says Be
Can Solve It.

CHICAGO, May 23.-The finding of the
body OF Dr. CrOnin has demonstrated the
fact that he was murdered and that con-
spiracy existed to put him out of the way.
Facts are now in possession of the police
tending to show that the troubles in the
Clan Ma Gael Society had something to do
with the removal of Cronin. and while
no arrests may be made at once, they will
be made within a few DAYS at the farthest
The police have not until now really be-
heved that the Doctors death was due to
conspiracy against him, but now they are
thoroughly convinced Of it, Many promi-
neut men are being shadowed, together
with others who are not sOprOminent, and
the climax Of the sensation will not be
reached until the arrests are made and the
toll import of The conspiracy brought out.
The removal" OF Cronin was the most
deliberately concealed and cool headed
piece of villainy Chicago has ever known,
the victim having had absolutely no
chance for his life whatever. He was de-
c0yed by those in the plot and then
killed. Many facts are in the possession
Of newspapers, but they dare not print
them for fear of going too far and getting
themselves into trouble The police ad-
NIT that they never had such a ticklish
piece Of business, but are confident they
will run down CrOnin's murderers yet and
bring them to the scaffOld. Ii was evil
dent CrOnin's body WAS kept somewhere
before being put into the culvert where it
was found, and the police think it WAS not
a great distance from the culvert, the muir
derers having thrown it there when they
found it impossible to keep it longer.
CLUES TO THE MURDERER.
States Attorney Longenecker says that
the police have received important clues
to the CrOnin murder and they expect to
have the murderer under arrest within
short time. What these clues are, or in
what direction they turn suspicious, the
States Attorney declined to indicate.
An undertaken took charge of DR..
Cronin's body when the post mortem was
finished. John CrOnin, the brother of
Dr. Cronin, arrived from Arkansas in time
70 see the remains before the physicians
commenced their work. He positively
identified the body as that OF his brother.
WOODRUFF ISDICTED.
Frank Black alias Woodruff was indicted
by the graod jury for larceny as bailee
in trying 20 sell the horse.
he hired Of Liverymsn Charles Dean, the
circumstance which first implicated him
in the CrOnin mystery. Woodruff was
very much disappointed that the detec-
tives did not accept his offer to 20 out
with them and work on the Cronin MUIR
der case.

Charge That the Chicago Board of Trade
is Monopoly
CHICAGO, May 23.-Bsfore Judge Tuley,
this morning, Kenneday r. Owen secured
an injunction against the Board of Trade
and the Western Union and Gold and
Stock Telegraph Companies. Mr.. Owen
claims in his bill that for years he has done
business under the name of Winchester x
Co. He did business with the ticker and
other telegraph instruments, which brought
to his office the condition Of the market.
He does not hesitate to admit that he has
"built up and up and is now conducting
very large ard profitable business as
broker on commission;" otherwise, that he
ia conducting a profitable bucket shop,
against which class the Board of Trade is
warning by threatening TO cut of quota
tions.
The injunction was granted on the
ground that the Board of Trade, together
with the telegraph companies, is building
up great monopoly, which is injurious to
the people, particularly to the people who
do business in bucket shops"
