EVENTS OF A DAY.
Some Interesting Features In the
Case of the CronIn Suspects.

CHICAGO, August 2S.-The events Of the
"a hours preceding the continuance of the
Cronin murder case portend some weighty
developments close at hand. Chief Hub
bard has been for the past few days engaged
in some special business which necessitates
a requisitIon from the governor for the ex
tradition Of some unknown prisoner. The
requisition was issued, and Chief Hubbard
is not to be seen around his accustomed
haunts.
Last night an assault was made on young
Gus Klahre, the tinsmith who Theoretically
soldered the tin box in which it is supposed
that DR.. Cronin's clothing and Instruments
were shipped away. Gus has told all he
knows about the affair, and Is a dangerous
witness. That he would be better dead
than living for the safety Of the men under
Indictment goes without saying Shortly
before o'clock the young man went to the
lake front, block distant from his home, at
361 Erie street, and left friend there to re-
turn to the house. The young man was
walking along the walk when he was set up
on by gang of IL or 10 young heodlums,
knocked down and kicked about the upper
portion of the body, receiving several scalp
wounds on top Of the skull and having his
face badly battered as well. A physician
was summoned, who sewed up the wounds,
pronouncing them not serious. Officer Stiff
reported the matter promptly at East Chica-
90 avenue station. Word was sent to Capt.
Schuettler, who came down In frantic haste
to the house. and at least dozen officers In
citizens clothes were despatched, but owing
to the very meagre description afforded the
officers no arrests have been made.
The court room was crowded long before
the opening hour, although the scene Of the
trial was transferred to the larger room on
the Dearborn street side Of the criminal
court building, the historic court room where
Judge Gary heard the anarchists case.
Judge Mcconnell ascended the bench at
1910 O'clock, and as Judge Longnecker and
his assistant, Mr.. Glennon, came in at the
same moment, the clerk opened court. Mr.
Forest arose and said that with the permis-
sion of the court he would file another affi-
davit in the motion Of Coughlin for a sep
arate trial. 1t had reference to the evidence
of Capt Schaacke before the coroner's jury
about the statement Woodruff made to him.
1t was about the same as that made to Mr..
Dunlap of the Chicago Times about the af-
fair The affidavit was filed without read
ing.
The arguments on the motions for separate
trials then proceeded.

DAYTON, o., August 2S.-The Democratic
State convention was called to order by DR..
Norton at 1915 this morning in the rink
which was densely packed. DIR. Norton
made brief address, outlining the purpose
of the convention. He made caustic criti-
cism of the Republican party, especially of
Governor Foraker and then eulogized the
Democratic party. His allusion to Grover
Cleveland as the noblest and greatest of liv-
ing Democrats was greeted by long contin-
ued applause.
Hon. M. D. Harter was made permanent
president. The resolutions which were
unanimously adopted approve the declara-
tion of principles made by the National
Democracy at st. Louis in 1888, especially de-
manding the reduction Of tariff taxes. The
resolutions regard trusts as the legitimate
result of the present tariff system and de-
mand the repeal of all tariff taxes that ena-
Bile them to extort from the people exorbi-
tant prices for the products they control.
