ANOTHER LINK FORGED.
Cronins Clothes Found Buried in the Sand
Near Fifty-Ninth Street.

CHICAGO, May 31-Dr. Cronin's clothes
have been found and another link forged
.n the chain of evidence that surrounds
the murder The first clue was obtained
by the finding of the drawers by Sol Ham
burger and Eddie Bresch, two little boys
of Lakeview Louis Hamburger, the
1S-year-old brother Of the first named lad,
then notified tie police and, conducting
Lieutenant Scbualter to the mouth OF the
Fifty-ninth street sewer. instituted a
search which resulted in the unearthing of
the murdered mans pants, coat and I'M
dershirt. They were buried over foot
under ground and were only discovered by
probing in the sand with sharp sticks.
The shirt bore the name Of
the unfortunate doctor and the
other articles were readily recognized
as portions of his apparel. The pants in
places were deeply stained with blood.
Strange to say. however, the physicians
vest was missing, and in it's place was a
vest of much coarser cloth. In the pockets
were five pennies and cigar. This gar
ment presumable belonged to one of the
murderers or accomplices. For this rea-
son the police are making every effort to
suppress the discovery, hoping. that
Cronin's vest may be discovered in the pos
session of one of the murderers.
Considerable Importance is attached to
the fact that when the drawers
were frst discovered by the little
boys a couple of strangers appeared
on the spot and ordered them to destroy
the garments and throw away the pieces.
This mandate was observed and no more
was thought of the matter until the older
brother was casually informed of the
circumstances Both those men were
strangers in the locality.
The residence of the Carlson's was care
fully searched by the police today
but nothing of suspicious nature
was discovered. The people of Lakeview
are demanding that the sewer in which
Cronin's body was found be searched
from the catch basin to the lake. They
think it possible that his tools and hat
and overcoat might be discovered in it,
but as the aperture is only three and
half feet in diameter the police are chary
about facing the dangers of sewer gas. 1t
is probable, however, that the sewer will
be tomorrow thoroughly flushed at least.
1t is reported upon apparently reliable
authority that blood stained sponge was
also found near the spot where the cloth
ing was found. but the police give this an
emphatic denial as they have the many
other important discoveries which were
subsequently substantiated.

WnMAN,s RIGHT OE DOVER

LARAMIE, w. T., May 31.-Judge Corn
has rendered an Important decision in the
district court at Rawlins, holding that the
EdmunGs act does not re-establish
womans right of dover in any territory
except Utah. Mrs. Amanda w. France
sued for dover in all the realty now in the
hands of assignees which formerly belong
ed to her late husband, JOS France. The
action was brought under the section of
the Edmunds act, which provides
that ga widow shall be endowed OF one
third part of all lands whereof the hus-
band was seized of an estate OF Inherit
ance at any time during their marriage,
unless she shall have lawfully released her
right thereto"
The legislature of 1876 abolished the
right of dover of Wyoming, which before
that time existed under the common law.
1t was claimed by the attorneys for Mrs.
France that the Edmunds act revived this
right in all the territories, and rendered
null any repeating statute. Defendants
held that the particular section of the act
quoted above applied to Utah alone, and
they were sustained by the court. A long
decision was rendered, in which the con-
Of the act was carefully analysed
by Judge Corn. This is the first time that
a legal decision On this question has ever
been rendered

WALT WHITMAN,S BIRTHDAY

CAMDEN, N. j., May31.-Walt Whitman
celebrated the seYentieth anniversary of
his birthday today. A dinner in honor of
the day was served in Morgan's. The
poet himself was not there but more than
200 of his friends and admirers graced the
occasion. The committee who had the
dinner in charge announced that "Walt
Whitman is so well recognized as poet
that such an occasion 4 for doing him
honor, and at the same time comforting
substantial benefit upon him, is likely to
be eagerly seized by those who know his
merits and his needs" This means that
the poet, who has many friends and no i'll
wishers both in America and in Europe,
needs help in his rapidly declining years
and needs it now. For considerably over
year the old gentleman has been con-
tned to his room and bed but always has
kind welcome for all who call and they
are not few. To all such he appears
happy and resigned in spite Of his intirmi-
ties. Only hopeful. CHEEKY words escape
him and thus he awaits the coming of the
final messenger.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENTS AT AN

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
ANTHONY, Kan, May 31.-The people of
this city Toasted on d series of intellectual
entertainments given Wednesday and
Thursday evenings by the members Of the
different departments of ourpublic schools.
These exercises were held in the spacious
hall of the new school building which
speaks so well for the energy, enterprise
and patriotism of all the people here. Only
little less than year ago building not
unlike this one. not quite so artistic and
beautiful. burned to the ground. That
was a sad night for the scholars and
teachers, as they were then looking for
ward to the opening of the new school
year. All hopes seemed to be blasted, but
only for moment, as the smoke had not
cleared before the workmen were on the
ground to build building which would
eclipse the old one. This community feels
thankful to the board of education for the
care, interest and economy displayed by
them in erecting this grand structure.
The dedication of The new school house
will take place in the near future, as it is
now used through the courtesy of the con-
tractor, Mr.. Lamby.
a very pleasant entertainment was
given by the grammar school last evening.
Among the attractive features of the even
ing was the vocal solo rendered by Miss
10 Russell and the address of Miss Boggs,
principal of the high school. The mem
mortal address by Rev. A. II. Parker can
not be commended too highly, as he so
Yividly portrayed the scenes of other DAYS
as to many times affect his audience to
tears. All were enthused and not once
was the occasion marred in any way.

THOSE. STAR ROUTEc CASES.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Second Assistant
Postmaster General Whitfield's careful
| scrutiny Of star route contracts, which re-
suited in the recent discovery by him OF
the startling fact that numerous sigma
lures on the security bonds were in the
same handwriting, has been supplement
ed by an opinion of Assistant Attorney
General Tyner. of the postofice depart
ment
The latter holds the entire series of con-
tracts, amounting to some STAT 900, to be
illegal and void. The proposals upon
which the contracts were based, and which
were filed in the Office of the second assist
ant postmaster general in January last,
while held to be irregular in many respects,
are not deemed absolutely void. The as
sistant attorney general holds that based
upon these proposals new contracts
properly and legally executed with good
and sufficient bonds may be received.
This will break up bad practice that
seems to have been going on for some time
unDoticed by postoffice officials until Col
onel Whitfield took hold. There are sew
eral other matters. the new second assis-
tant is after which he thinks need mend
ing in the interest Of the government, and
which will be Strengthened out in good

BERLIN, May 31.-In addition to the
hard work which the American commits
toner's to the Samoan conference lay out
TO themselves each day they are obliged to
give up considerable time to social duties
in the gay German capital and
every night when they are not entertain

hoff they are sure TO be at some dinner
given in their honor by some distinguish
ed resident of Berlin. During the past
week two notable dinners were
given by them. The first one

the English ambassador, and the other on
Friday night, when Count Won Holstein,
one Of the German secretaries of state, gave
some of them banquet which for menu.
wines and the character of its guests is
said never to have been equailed in Berlin.
The wines were of the rarest vintages and
indeed most of them are unpurchasaole
now. Among the guests were Count
Waldersee (Von Molke's successor) Count
Won Weget, the emperor's aide, Mr.. Will
Gutenberg and many other representatives
of political and social rank. Count Won
Holstein visited the United States some
thirty years ago and was then so kindly
received by friends of Mr.. Phelps that he
has been most lavish in his hos itallty here
to that gentleman and his colleagues dur
ing their stay.
The American delegation occupies an en-
tire floor of the kaiserhoff hotel Each
member has his private bedroom and work
ing room adjoining, and in the center of
the suite is large and handsomely fur
nished room, which, during the day, is
used as a reception room for formal visit
ors, and in the evening as a common din
ing room.
The work room of each commissioner is
besieged day and night by newspaper men
London and American jour-
nails, butsthus far their success in getting
news of the commission has been confined
to what they have been able to get in the
form of indignant denials from the Ger
man officials. Their method has been to
some story which, if true, would
be SO injurious TO German interests that
the German commissioners were compelled
to deny it, and this denial generally forms
the basis of voluminous dispatches.

Preparation of the Garden.

One of the essential conditions for q
good garden is proper preparation of
soil in it's degree of fertility and prepara-
tiOn for the reception of the seed. The un-
iversal testimony of all market garden
ing points to the excessively high degree
of fertility that is required for the produc-
tiOn of the most desirable vegetables, and
if that is a condition of success in the
be no less important as an element ofsuc-
cess in growing vegetables for home use.
Richness and tenderness are essential
qualities in vegetables, and these can
only be obtained when the growth is
hastened by very high state of fertility
The manure of fertilizers employed should
be as thoroughly fertilized as possible, so
as to be more readily soluble, in which
condition it can be taken in by the grow
ing plant.
The soil of the garden should at the
time of receiving the seed be in as finely
pulverized condition as possible, as this
will allow of close contact to the seed and
termination hastened thereby, and fur
ther, a more general termination secured.
A soil may be SO lumpy and hard at the
time OF planting, that some of the seed
will be left with air spaces surrounding it,
whereby it's termination will be greatly
retarded, while other seeds will come up.
Uniformity in the termination of garden
seed is always desirable.
The plowing should be only when the
soil is in condition to crumble and fall in
pieces, and then when the harrow is APP
piled the work of pulverization is easily
carried on. Such conditions seem of little
consequence, but they are OF utmost i'm
ortance.-Southern Cultivator
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-25

that show this tendency is a practice we
have followed for several years with ap-
parently good results. While it does no t
prevent the final catastrophe if the ma
ture heads are left out an unreasonable
length of time during the growing season,
yet the heads seem to keep on growing
longer and larger without cracking open
than they might be expected to do other
wise.
ONION SETS.
AllSouthern gardeners should raise their
own onion sets instead of paying such
large prices for those grown in the North.
Sow your seed in September or October,
in rich moist beds and you will have no
trouble about getting the seeds to sprout.
1t would be well to shade the beds for
awhile if the weather remains too warm
When freezing weather sets in, remove the
sets to warm dry place, where they can
be spread out.
CRESSES
For a succession, SOW every two or three
weeks in shallow drills, one foot apart.
Upland variety is the best.
CULTIVATION.
All fall crops must be constantly culti-
waited to make them successful. Constant
stirring of the ground keeps in the moist
ure, which makes the soil better ab-
sorber of moisture from the air, and sets
free plant food in the soil.
POTATOES.
The best seed of Irish potatoes for next
season should be raised this fall Plant
in rich, moist soil and cultivate often.
