The trial of the murderers of DIR.
Cronin has ended, with verdict of
guilty as charged against Coughlin,
O'SuIlivan and Burke, and sentence
of Imprisonment for life. Kunze was
found guilty of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to q short time, and Beggs was
acquitted. There has not been trial
for long time that has awakened
such national interest as this one, and
the evidence has been carefully read
by the American public. There can
be no doubt that DR.. Cronin was bru-
Tally murdered for his exposures Of
the Triangle of the Clan-na Gael, and
that members of that organization
committed the crime. Bat while be
lieving that the three defendants were
guilty, we have not considered the evi
dence sufficiently convincing for ver-
dict for the state, and are therefore
surprised at the result. The effect of
the trial will be detrimental to the
C!an-na Gael, and that society will be
classed with many other obnoxious or
carnations which should not be toler-
ated among a law-abiding people.
Irish nationalism or home-rule viii not
suffer thereby, for, after reading the
testimony, DIR. Cronin will be consid-
cred more patriotic than those who
conspired against his life. Chicago, as
the embodiment of western enterprise,
is the lurking place of many revolu-
tionary organizations, and for the fair
name of the city it Is advisable that
these pernicious growths should be
weeded out. The better element of
the municipality is doing this, and
there is as much protection to life in
this great bustling beehive of COM
mercial AID manufacturing industry as
in other cities of much less enterprise
and activity.

ants in the prize fight case, the sheriff
and jurors, were up early this morning
People came here for miles around out
of pure curiosity. sullivan and the
other defendants were in the best of trim
and sullivan conversed with all who
came in contact with him. Quite II
crowd soon collected around the depot,
awaiting the arrival of the train from
Meridian bringing Judge Terrell, Dis
triCt Attorney Neville and a number of
attorneys. All the accused were here
except Pat Duffy, whose absence was
accounted for by the district attorney,
who had failed TO notify him. General
Superintendent Carroll, OF the Queen
Crescent, was not present, hut the gen
eral belief is that he will not be indicted
by the grand jury. The foreman of the
grand jury is Il. o, White, mill owner
and merchant at Poplaryilll. When one
of the stands at Ricfburg fell during the
fight Mr.. White was the only person
injured
The grand jury is an intelligent body
of men, highly spoken of by the citizens.
Judge Terrell, in his charge to the grand
jury, said:
"GENTLEMEN But little need be said
of the prize fight which took place at
Richburg ON July last. The principals
in said fight and all accessories before
and after the fight are guilty of high

some Things Fire Cannot Burn.

From the Seattle Weekly Press.
The terrible fire which has laid in
waste the beautiful, prosperous and EN-.
terprising city of Spokane Falls adds one
more to the already long list of disasters
which have occurred during the year of
1889. Spokane Falls, it was conceded
ON all hands, was the most substantially
built city in Washington territory. The
people there manifested early a
spirit of enterprise that was not
surpassed anywhere. This spirit
was given broad scope. Splendid brick
blocks were erected in rapid succession,
not in one part of the city, but in all
parts. There was nothing provincial in
the appearance of the city. Evidences
where. There was no enterprise that
did not receive encouragement. If
helY was needed help was given, prompt
ly apd effectively. The result was that
in leAs than ten years, from q mere, out
of-the-way trading post, Spokane Falls
became, beyond all question, the second
city in Washington, in population
ume of trade. The rapid growth, con
sidering the conditions, was normal.
Business was conducted in safe chan
nels. There was nothing boOmy, ficli-
tious or unSubstantial about the develop
ments of Spokane Folls.
And yet in few hours this beautiful
and prosperous city was reduced 70 Il
mass of ruins!
This is the whole story, so far us the
results of human labor are concerned.
Spokane Falls was, but is not.
But
There are things fire cannot burn. Tho
bold spirit OF enterprise which built up
Spokane Falls still exists. The land Is
still there.
The men are there.
The vast wheat fields, the iabulously
rich mines, the great tracts OF timber,
the railroads and the trade relations still
exist.
The indomitable spirit that braved and
conquered every difficulty in the past
still exists.
That Spokane Falls will rise again no
one for a moment doubts. Ii is paying
compliment to past efiolts to state the
fact, that the rebuilding of the city
means TO very great degree simply the
rebuilding of the splendid business
houses which have been destroye ed. Al
though business will be prostfatcd for IL
time. the people of Spokane Falls will
rise buoyant and hopeful and conf
dent.
Washington goes &ut' to the stricken
city. Whether the people Of Spokane
Falls desire help or not, they deserve a
practical exemplification of the golden
rule which they have uniformly prac.
ticed so nobly and disintercstedly. Spo.
kane Falls people shall be done by ac-
cording to the spirit of the rule which
they have so generously observed in the
Dast.

For Superior Judge.

L. II. Prather is candidate for the
office of superior judge, subject to nomi-
nation by the republican convention.
MIR. Prather is veteran of the late civil
war, having served four years in the
Sixth, One Hundred and Fortieth Regi-
monts Indiana Volunteers. During the
latter part of the war he held the re-
sponsible position OF chief of ambu-
lances of the Third Division Twenty
third army corps until his discharge at
Greensboro, North Carolina, at the close
of the war. Realizing his loss of educa-
tional advantages during his army ser-
vice, he immediatelo entered the AS
bury university at Greencastle, Indiana,
and took its classical course until 1865,
when he went into law office at Column
bus, in that state, and read law until his
admission to the bar of that city in 1869.
Since then he has pursued his profession
TO the present time.
Mr.. Prather came to Spokane Falls in
the spring of 1884, and opened an office
in the postoilice building at the corner
of Howard and Main streets. From that
time Until the present he has been u
strong and interested believer in Spo-
kane Falls and her surrounding terri
tory, and las watched their growth
with pride and some satisfaction that he
has contributed his mite to the pleasing
result. Mr.. Prather is we'll known to
all our citizens, and the general senti-
ment among them Is that if elected to
the judgeship he will bring TO the bench
qualities most desirable in a man for
that position.

An Old story Retoid.

Delegate Joseph Anderson, of Beaver,
is close neiuhbor of Senator Quay, and
often spends an evening with the Beaver
statesman. Mr.. Anderson is foreman of
the composing room of the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph, and travels to
Pittsburg and back home every day. A
genial, talented gentleman, he is fond of
good story, and tells this one about
Senator Quay: At the close of the last
campaign, when Senator Quay had been
away from home for long time, lie ro-
turned and was warmly greeted by his
old neighbors. Among. the lattor was a
young man to whom the senator said: /:
''How is your fnther?' He is dead"
said the young man; "hee died month
ago" us that so?'' said the senator.
I'm very sorry to hear IT," The next
day, in walking about the town Senator
Quay met the same young man, and
shook hands with him again, forgetting
that he had met him the day before,
and again did he asked the question:
"How is your father?' The young
man looked at him and said sadly: He
Is still dead"
The story is lust as good as it was in
the days Of William Henry Harrison,
when his friends used to relate 1t at his
expense.

attention to him. lie is very cnthusi-
astic over the reception he received in

people out there are wonderful, and cs-
pecially is this so of the inhabitants of
Washington Territory. They are, he
said, "aS if you had taken
the cream Of New York, of Wash,
ington, OF Buffalo, of all the cities of the
East--the brightest boys of the family
and sent them out. With plenty of WIT,
plenty of enterprise, and their pockets
full of money, they are the brightest
people in the world. They have got
grit and money. They have money
right in their hands, and know how to

sound of the hammer and the ring of the
chisel on the stone, They are alive.
Fire cannot burn those people out.

Saturday evening. They wanted me to
stay over until Monday TO speak in the
opera. house, and could not, and we
regretted it. On Sunday the terrible
fire broke out; but they will build it
up"
He said, in speaking of the political
situation out there, that he believed the
Dakotas would certainly go republican.
He thought that Washington territory
would almost us certainly go demo-
cratic. The republicans have control of
the organization there, but they are di-
vided among themselves, and there is
danger of serious clashing among them
when it comes to business.

heart.
A Breathless Race of Two Miles,
Closely Pursued by
Her Father.

A telegram from Bangor, Maine, says;
The greatest sensation in Eastern Maine
this week has been caused by the re-
marSable exploits of Maud Abbott, the
pretty girl OF 10 years, who attempted
to commit suicide by shooting three
weeks ago because her parents would not
allow her to marry.
Yesterday the girl had so far recovered
that her physicians decided that It
would be safe to allow her to be felnoved
to her home in Bucksport. Her parents,
who are very prominent people came to
take her home, but much TO their sur
prise she positively refused to go with
them.
The services of the police were called
and the entire party stormed the Sprague
domicile, where the girl had been during
her illness. An officer entered first, and
Sprague, who is large, muscular fellow,
struck him terrible blow in the face,
knocking him down.
The lord of the mansion was then
placed where he could do no harm, and
attention given to the girl, who, although
faint from the effects of her illness,
fought like a tigress. She scratched
and kicked the officers and her father,
She got herself in a position where she
could fasten her teeth in the latter S
hand. The frantic girl was finally pin
ioued and carried toa carriage and lifted
on the back seat, but succeeded III
squirming upon the floor of the vehicle.
Her resolute parents entered the car.
riage and throwing shawl over the
girls shoulders, directed the driver to
start for Bucksport.
She declared during the journey that
she would escape and return to Sprague
that she would rather die than not live
with him. but she was not supposed IA
have enough strength to carry out her
threat.
Her people evidently underes timated
her powers for this morning the train
men were surprised to see a girish figure
come flying down to the depot, IL was
Maud Abbott, who had escaped from hel
home and run, hatless and scarcely
dressed, a distance oftwo miles.

girl reached the depot, and deathly pale

After Spokane, which?
From Tacoma Every Sunday, !


A great deal has been written since
the Seattle fire in praise of spokane's
abundant water supply and the city $
ample preparation for extinguisging the
tiercest and most untamable city con-
tlagration. How we all envied Spokane
Falls, and the $1,000 horse power that
comes rolicking down from the heights
through the streets, bulky and forceful
enough to inundate city in an hour as
deep as Johnstown's fateful ocean, if
only bulk head were built around the
town Attempt to burn Spokane Falls
would be an absurdityl IL was like an
asbestos-built city; the flames might
play around and about it and sweep
down few wooden houses and the rub
bish in the streets, but the everlasting
waters of the mountains had been piped
and cribbed, and an engineer held in his
hand the lever and at a touch would
pour this wealth Of aquarian treasures
upon the audacious god of the flames.
oh yes, Spokane Falls is all right.
Its tte old story. Spokane Falls, theme
tropolis OF Eastern Washington, has sue
cumbed, a prey to the fiery monster, on
his rounds of devastation. Seattle,
Vancouver and Ellensburgh had fallen.
In the evolution of chances no gambler
would have taken bet that Spokane was
TO be the next victim. But the year
1889 seems to be laden with disastrous
possibilities, and it is impossible to di-
vine what Pandora's box may yet have
in store for Washington. After Spokane,
which? 1t is to be hoped, and Every
Sunday firmly believes, that Tacoma
has lost Its .place in the blazing process
sion, and warned by the fallacions hopes
of its unprotected sister cities, has de-
cided no longer to depend upon luck for
its salvation from constantly tn reat-
ening fire danger The city has been
remarkably fortunate in the past, but
its great increase in population has cor
respondingly added to the fire risk, and
exemption from fire cannot be expected
save by extensive and complete fire ex-
tineuishing apparatus, vigilant depart
ment and abundance Of water always at
command.
