Judge Wings Argument Closes.

CHICAGO, Dec 3.-Judge Wing concluded
his address to the Cronin jury this morn
ing, devoting most of his attention to the
argument that it was not shown that the
wounds on Cronin's head were necessarily
fatal, and that it was impossible to decide
whether the specimens of blood and hair
examined by the experts were those of a
man or not. He was followed Eby mgr
ham on behalf of the prosecution.
Mr.Inghram spoke at length of the killing
of Cronin, the disposal of the body, and de-
fined and illustrated the application of the
law of conspiracy. Addressing himself to
the question Of the value of circumstantial
evidence, he quoted legal opinions to the
effect that it may be stronger than any at
tract evidence. Judge Wing, he said, had
taken up the evidence bit by bit and argued
its weakness. This was simply the old
story of bundle of sticks So it was In
this case. Each discriminating circumstance
was explainable upon the theory of limo
cenee, but the combined conclusion to
which they pointed, was irresistible Cir
cumstances, from the time of the meeting
ing in Camp 20 to the finding of the clothes
of Cronin in the sewer and showed an in
telligent human design. 1t had its origin
in hate, its foundation in the charge that
Cronin was spy and its end in the butch
sewer. Then Ingham proceed,d
to analyze the evidence and
getting down to the Carlson cottage, said
'Why did Burke rent the cottage
and held possession of it uninterrupted
month after month"; He was day laborer
and working only. Where were the
brothers and sick sister who were to oc-
cupy the cottage with him' Why did they
not appear and testify in his behalf! Four
or five people were to live in this cottage,
yet it did not contain a single article of
kitchen furniture. 1t was to attend one
of O'Sullivan's men that the doctor was
called; the cottage was close to O'Sul-
livan's house; Burke told O'Sullivan about
it as soon as he had rented it, and
subsequently O'Sullivan vouched for him."
The speaker dwelt at length on the sus-
picious character of the ice mans contract
for Cronin's services; the hiring of the
white horse; Coughlin's suspicious actions,
etc. He went over the ground of the ride
| to the cottage, the murder, subsequent be-
stowal of the body in the catch basin, and
Burkes flight All this connecting chain
of evidence, he said, was undisputed. He
touched upon alibl testimony and.showed it
was all by friends of the accused, while in
culpating evidence was by impartial wit
nesses. Ingham then proceeded to trace
the connection between Coughlin, Kunze
and O'Sullivan. He reviewed the fight be-
tween Cronin andlthe Triangle as the NOV
ing cause of the murder, and closed with an
appeal for conviction.

Gladstone on Irish Matters.

LONDON, Dec. Sat the Manchester
meeting to-day Gladstone inspired great
enthusiasm by his definite exposition of the
Liberal policy He said: "Ireland is the
leading question of the day, and that the
Tories would have been converted to the
Liberal view of the subject by this time but
for disciple of the Liberals and the split
in the Liberal party, and except for the
personal ambition of some Tories and their
allies who desired more to form national
party than to do political justice"
He severely arraigned the Unionist leaders
on this point and said the plan of cam
relief to ireland. There was, he said, less
crime in Ireland than in England. He was
of the opinion that the country had clearly

The FrOlics and Escapades Of Mrs. Hannah

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
KINGSTON, N. Y, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Hannah
Southworth is remembered at Pine Hill,
MargaretYille and other villages in the Cat
skills as dashing young widow During
her soiourn at Margaretville, she was con-
sidered one of the liveliest ladies in the
town and was the envy of her sex. She
was well equipped with jewels and gowns
and was always in possession of plenty of
money, which she spent lavishly. She ap-
peared to think nothing of getting up ,pri-
vate plcnics and excursions to points of in
terest, and to charter conveyances for the
transportation of her acquaintance, bear
ing the entire expense. She found no diff
Guilty in procuring host of male admirers.
Mrs. Southworth was also fond of all man
ner of exciting sports. At running race
between pony owned by Senator Hish-
man and horse known as "Symond's
mare" which took place at Arkville, she
bet and lost heavily on the latter. She did
not mourn over her loss, only saying: 81
have more to bet on the next race and don't
you forget it." At hops, germans and re-
ceptions she was never found missing. At
Pine Hill she donned mems clothing on
several occasions, and the young men jocu-
larly informed her that she made quite a
charming young swell. During her stay
in the mountains she was frequently Wis

Revenue and Expenditures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The clerks of the
committees on appropriations Of the Senate
and House have prepared comparative
statements of the estimates, appropriations
and expenditures for the maintenance of
the government for the fiscal year 1890
and 1891 from which it appears that the in
crease of estimates for 1891 over those for
the current year is $50 SCI, l6S, and the in
crease for the estimates for the next year
over the appropriations for this year are
S3S, 092, 1l2. The total estimates, regular
/ and permanent for annual appropriations
\ for the next fiscal year are S406, 643, 315,
while the total revenues are estimated at
4506l5, 1877, showing an excess of estimates
of revenue over the estimated appropria-
tions for the next year of S43, 81, OPP. The
net surplus for the present year is placed
at Ssh 532, 81, or s., Sol 4S9 more than the es-
timated surplus for the next fiscal year.
This prospective decrease in the surplus is
stated to be without reference to the posi-
bility of the enactment of river and har-
Dor bill, for in the estimates submitted by
the secretary of the treasury there is a
notable omission of the ordinary provision
for river and harbor improvement. For the
preservation of existing works the sum of
S237, 900 is asked, while the report of
the chief of engineers says S3S, 533, =
$50 can be proftably expended next
year in these improvements. The state
ment above quoted differs materially from
that prepared by the treasury department,
and exhibited in the book of estimates
just issued, for the reason that the postal
receipts and revenues are differently
treated by the treasury and appropriation
committees.
Assistant Attorney-General Shields, of
the interior department. has given the
secretary Of the interior his opinion as to
the effect of the 18th section of the act ad-
hitting the new states which refers to the
act of 1S41, the original presumption act,
and repeats the same as to the new states.
He holds that taking the whole section to-
gether the intent was not to repeal the pre-
!. emption laws, but to make grant Of lands
Y in lieu of the 8th section of the act Of 1S41,
generally known as the internal improve
ment grant, and tC repeal that section as
to the new states. That the act of 1S4i
was carried into the revised statutes and
repealed in 1865. That if Congress had in
tended to repeal the presumption laws it
could have done so by repeating the sec
tons of the revised statutes appertaining
thereto, or by applying words so declaring

A Tale of Woe and Disaster.

New YORK, December 3.-An appalling
sight was witnessed in the waters off the
Delaware breakwater about dusk yesterday
evening by the crew of the Norwegian
bark Christian SERVER, which arrived from
Buenos Ayres to-day. The bark passed a
huge raft, on which were the bodies of
two men dressed as sailors. They
were dead and had been lashed
to the logs of the raft.
About three yards from the raft
was the body of middle-aged woman en-
circled by ife-preserver Every effort
was made to find out what vessel the raft
belonged to, but the captain of the bark
was unable to. Receipt of the news in
shipping circles occasioned no little excite
ment. Upon the Maritime exchange the
opinion prevailed that the raft and bodies
had come from the Old Dominion steam
ship Manhattan, which went down in a
collision recently.i The agents of that line,
however, say there was no woman on their
vessel

LONDON, Dec. g. by cable to the New
York Herald There was an extraordinary
festival at Drury Lane last evening. Three
hundred thieves of London were Toasted
and otherwise treated like gentlemen by
philanthropists of the West End 1t was
notable spectacle. Hundreds of outside
starving wretches filled the narrow pave
ments of Little Wild street to see how the
ex prisoners were treated; shining car
riages drove to the entrance of the street
leading to st. Giles Christian mission, with
lines of policemen keeping the crowds back
while the well dressed inmates were es-
corted within. The interior of the mission
building was gay with flags and notices.
In the vestibule and around the galleries
notices appeared to be teaching wise les
sons to thieves and visitors alike Above
the long banquet tables where the ex-crim-
mails sat, were the words. BE Just and
fear no man.
1t should explained that thieves are al
lowed by the police to attend these din
ners, as it is considered beneficial to their
morals, and no arrests are ever made and
no advantage is taken of the presence of
the most hardened criminal on these occa-
sions, when both unreformed and repent
ant ex-convictS assemble. But for this
understanding with the authorities MANY
bad one would miss a good meal Thus it
was that the managers of St. Giles Chris
tan mission gave banquet in honor of
the anniversary Of its organization So
great was the crush of people to see them.
that many of the guests were unable to
ind standing room in the overcrowded
hall. There were music and flaming mot
toes; handsome women and men of high
station in life, but nothing was
so interesting as watching the ex-
prisoners devour the rich cake,
little tarts good old fashioned bread and
butter, chunks, sliced, and strips of cheese
OF every color, strength and flavor. The
celery and cheese were peppered and eaten
with mustard, while others put sugar on
their beef and slowed it away as thew
shovel in Goals under the boiler of a big
Atlantic steamer. The only qualification
for an invitation to the thieves supper is
the fact of having been convicted once, or
more than once, Of felony. An ordinary
offence, such as man giving his wife a
black eye or otherwise damaging her not
considered sufficiently important trans
gression to be called felony, and these men
are not admitted to the dinner.
The policemen from Bow street, and Mr..
Poulton, usher Of the London central
criminal court and an ex-warden of Cold
bath Fields prison, had all they could do to
keep offenders not fully qualified from
getting in. These officials stood at the
door and scrutinized the cards and their
holders, who almost tore the coats off each
others backs in their anxiety to get in
there. There were Bill Sykes enough to
I'LL a chamber of horrors, and there were
Artful Dogers and one Fagin, who, later in
the evening, led the applause whenever
Christ was mentioned

into court to see if they had any objection
to the grand jury or to any Of them. John
Fitzgerald, held for assault with intent to
kill, and William Allen, held for fornica-
lection to the jury. The Judge then gave
his charge, which was strictly '1oyal."
He said that the prevailing crimes in this
territory were bigamy, ro'ygamy, adul-
terry fornication, ETC., and that great
portion of the people was guilty of these
crimes, and that the jury should be par
ticular in looking after that kind of crimes.

Democratic Caucus.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-Democratic
representatives held a caucus tonight
Holman, of Indiana, being elected chairman,
to succeed late Representative Cox, of
New York, Representative Carlisle having
declined the post. Bates, of Alabama,
offered resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a standing committee
of fifteen members with ex-Speaker
Carlisle as chairman, to undertake the care
of the political interests of the minority.
Opposition was Immediately developed,
Blount and Breckenridge, of Arkansas,
speaking against it. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, suggested the appointment of
committee of three members with powers
corresponding to the executive committee
from whose decision an appeal might be
taken to a committee Of fifteen, who in
turn might call caucus together. Crane,
of Texas, moved as a further substitute,
the appointment of committee of five to
keep the Democrats advised of the move
ments and plans of their opponents and
call a caucus when necessary. Finally
all motions were laid aside and the caucus
adjourned.
