Of DR.. Cronin was brought about by a
conspiracy. We claim that it was con-
cocted and executed; that these men on
trial we're parties to the conspiracy to-
gether with others not on trial. That is
our position. We further claim that it
was a cold blooded conspiracy without
parallel-coolly and deliberately planned
a conspiracy most terrible in its effects"
The states attorney spoke of the dis
sentions in the Clan -ua Gael and the ap-
pointment of a committee to try the exec
utive, of which committee Cronin was a
member. Then beginning with the testi-
mony of the secretary of Camp 20, he re-
viewed in narrative form at great length
the evidence ofthe witnesses as to the
row In Camp 90 wei the premature read
ing of the Buffalo minority report in Gro
INNS camp and reference OF the matter
by Beggs to Spellman. He said: AT
that camp meeting, the night of Feb. s.,
was when the conspiracy began"
He then continued his review of the
evidence regarding the Beggs-Spellman
correspondence. etc. and came down to
the meeting Of Camp 20 on Feb. %. when
Patrick McGarry made charges and Beggs
in the meeting said he thanked God Alex
Sullivan had friends and hat he (Beggs)
was one ofthem.
AT this point court adjourned.

A Mining Suit Settled.

DENVER. Colo, Nov. 29.-The famous
Aspen mining suit brought by Judge
Rucker against Harvey Young and others,
involving a n sixth interest in the As
pen mine as well as a one-sixth in about
IS 1000. 900 which have already been taken
out was decided in favor of Rucker this
morning. Judge Stewart had the case
under advisement more than Two weeks.
The opinion was very elaborate. Rucker
bought an option on a one sixth interest
for 5000 from Harvey Young. A rich
vein vas struck and Young refused to
complete the trade. Rucker brought
suit and the decision rendered last night
makes him some 81, 000. 900 richer than
he was last night. The case may be ap-
pealed.

Horrible Scene al a Hanging.

GUELPH, Ont. Nov. 29. Fl. Har.
vey, who in March last murdered his
wife and two daughters, was hanged this
morning. The execution was one of the
worst pieces of bungling ever witnessed.
The weight which lifted the body was not
heavy. enough, and the scaffold was not
high enough to give sufficient rebound to
break the condemned mans neck, and his
struggles and contortivns as he slowly
strangled to death were trightful. To
add to the horror the knot slipped and
the gurgling in the mans throat as his
lite was being choked out could be heard
outside the Jail walls.

sullivan Eager tor the Fray.

Boston, Nov. 29.--John L. Sullivan
was to-day iourishing a dispatch signed
by the president of the Pacheto California
Athletic club guaranteeing $35, 900 to the
winner of a finish fight between Sullivan
and Jackson. Sullivan talked very boast
fully about his abilities and how the peo-
pie appreciated him. and said he would
certainly accept this bid if jackson can
get out of his contract binding him to the
California Athletic Club of San francisco.
He asserts that he will have no difficulty
in doing" the black man.

BosToN's FIRE.
The Losses Now Estimated at
$5,O0O.OO0.
Every Effort Being Made to
Bring Order Out Of Chaos.
The Fire Caused by Electric
Light Wires.

BosToN, Nov. 29.-The burned dis
trict to day presents a scene of desolation.
A portion OF the fire department spent
tho entire night and this forenoon quench-
ing the remnants of the blaze. while a
Gordon of weary officers are still guarding
the ruins. Incoming trains are packed
with sightseers. The walls of some of
the Quilted buildings are in a very dam
gerous condition. Gangs of men have
already begun to tear away the debris.
Nearly all the burned out merchants have
made arrangements to occupy other stores
at once. Among the spectators at the
ruins to. day were 500 girls employed at
I. Y. CioweIl's book blndery. many of
whom were the main support of their
families and who have no means of sub
sistence.
The aggregate insurance on the prop
erty destroyed yesterday by fire is SO, 1881
100. as nearly rs can be learned. The
state insurance commissioner says with the
exception of two or three new or smaller
pension OF insurance companies.
The underwriters on the street estimate
the total property loss at between four
and five millions.
The largest bankers look for no bad
financial effect from the recent fires.
Most of the insurance losses are by Eng.
lish companies, as in the case of the Lynn
fire. The losses are comparatively small
IN home Offices. and are well distributed.
Individual losers as a rule are ~abundantly
able to stand the losses. John G.. Paiges'
agency estimates the total loss at sl0,-
600. OO0.
New YORK, Nov. ga Boston dis
patch says yesterdays fire was caused bv
the crossing of al electric light wire and
the wires of the Electric Time company
All clocks on the Electric Time company's
line stopped at Gas, the wires being
burned out at their connections with
clocks. causing incipient blazes at many
places, including the city hall.
