In Texas the supreme court holds that
in action for damages against receiver
of a railroad company the judgment
should be against the receiver in his oil
cial character, and not prescribe any par
ticular fund of the railroad on which il
should constitute lien, as all the prop
erty of the railroad company is in the
hands of the court appointing the re
ceiver, and the latter court should deter
mine matters pertaining to the enforce
ment of tho Judgment.

New YORK. May 28.-The 100 occu-
pants of the tenement house No. $40
East SiXtieth street have been troubled
lately by an offensive Odor, and to-day
the police were called in to locate the
source of the smell. 1t seemed to pro-
ceed from the apartments of Mrs.
Bridget Hanehan, and on breaking
into them the dead and decaying body
of Mrs. Hanehan was found. The
woman had been dead at least a week.
In the front room, in the midst of filth,
lay Mrs. Hanehan's eighteen-year-old
son John, dead drunk. From appear
ances he had eaten nothing and drunk
all he could get for several days past.
The neighbOrs think that the son had
been holding quiet wake over his
mothers body all by himself. The
woman was also heavy drinker. She
did no work. but lived in a miserable
way on some savings that she had made
when formerly employed as a servant.
The mother and son were unsociable
and disagreeable, and the other occu-
pants of the house saw and knew but
little of them.

CHICAGO. May 2S.-The two warrants
for Daniel Coughlin and Patrick o. Sui
livan are not the only ones that have
been issued in the case. Eight other
warrants were placed in the hands of
detectives to-day and taken to different
parts of the city and Lake
view. The detectives immedi-
ately began to shadow eight diff
ferent suspects. The warrants are not
intended for use, save in such emer-
gency as would arise from an attempt
of any of the men to leave the city.
The mayor and chief of police are
greatly incensed at the way information
gathered in the investigation has been
allowed to leak out. The mayor
learned to-day that T. I. Conk-
lin, the salponkeeper with whom
Cronin resided, has been paying
regular visits to newspaper office.
Conklin has been taken into almost the
full confidence of the police. who relied
on his discretion, owing to his great
and constant clamor for the avenging
of his friends death. Nobody is any
longer discussing the possibility Of the
prisoner Coughlin ''squealing." The
ex-detective has plainly defined his
platform. Upon being urged to tell all
he knew he replied in these words: g!
am innocent and know nothing; but it
l were guilty and did know anything,
l would die before would tell it."

TWO TRAINS TELESCOPED.
Fatal Accident on the HoasatOnio
Railroad

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, May 2S.-A spe-
cial freight train from this city colllded
with the regular Albany freight, bound
south OIL the HOusatonic railroad, about
4:SO this morning, about one mile from
Bull station, causing disastrous wreck.
Both trains came together with ter
rible crash, wrecking the engines into
shapeless mass, telescoping two freight
cars on the up train, smashing three
ears of the down train and derail-
ing nine other cars. Engineer
William B. Look. of Great Bar
rington, Mass, who had charge of the
engine of the up train, was crushed to
death. His remains were found buried
in the coal OF his tender. Charles Olds,
a brakeman on the same train, was ter
ribly crushed, and died in a few mo-
ments after the collision. John La
Monte, of West Stockbridge, brakeman,
jumped as the trains came together.
His left ankle was crushed, and one of
his ribs was fractured. James McDer-
mott. engineer of the down train,
Jumped just before the collision. His
Shoulder was dislOcated, and he was
otherwise bruised. The two latter will
recover. The cause of the accident was
due to disobedience of orders.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-The Herald to-
morrow, in an elaborate article, will re-
iterate it's former statement that DIR.
Cronin was removed by the Clan-na-
Gael after trial and conviction, on the
charge Of being British spy. 1t declares
CT rcumstaDtially that an officer of the
order known as delegate called upon
the senior guardian of a North side
camp to appoint trial committee. No
names or specifications were given. At
the next meeting of the camp it was
announced under the rules provided
for such occasions, that a trial commit
tee was required. Each man present
wrote name on piece of
paper. When all the slips had,
been deposited in the ballot
box it was delivered to a trusty member
who counted them and selected the
seven that received the highest num-
Der. Each was quietly notified Of the
fact, while the unsuccessful ones simply
met within a week, and for the first
time became aware of each others iden-
tity y,and that of the man whom they were
to try and the charges preferred. Hence,
of all the members of the order only the
committee, the man preferring the
charges, and the witnesses examined,
were cogniZant of the personality of the
body or its proceedings. Charges were
Preferred against Cronin of being
British spy; he was found guilty by a
unanimous vote and sentenced to
be ''removed." In some way
knowledge of these proceedings
came to Cronin, and hence
his frequent statements just before he
met his death that a violent end was in
store for him. The article also says
that the only object of the presence in
Chicago of Luke Dillon, of Philadel-
phia, who is one of the triumvirate now
ruling the order, is to learn the number
of the camp by which the committee
was appointed.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Reports from
the New York navy yard are to the
effect that nearly all the steel frames
for the armored cruiser Maine are now
in place, and that gratifying progress is
being made in the construction of the
vessel. 70 give visible evidence of
how the ship will appear when COM
pleted, most elaborote model about
four feet long has been made at the
Washington navy yard and placed in
Secretary Tracy's Office. 1t represents
al vessel of over 5000 tons, as fine
in lines as is consistent with
the great power required to bear
up the enormous armament of about
forty guns, ranging from fOurlgreat ten
inch rifles down to small revolving can
non. The horse power will be 5000,
calculated to drive the vessel at seven

of interest about the ship is the fact
that:apa from the monitors, she will be
the first vessel built since the war that
is really an ironclad. relying not on

FOUND HIS CLOTHES.
Important Discovery Made by
Small Bows,

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Mrs. Hamburgher,
widow living at 1912 Diversey street,
has turned over to the city police ar
ticles OF clothing which may have be-
longed to DR.. Cronin. Mr.. Ham
burgher's two boys, nine and eleven
years old, were playing in the woods
south of Rose Hill last Sunday.
They were near Evanston avenue,
perhaps a mile north from where Gro
nin's body was hid in the catchbaSin
and nearly two miles north of where the
bloody trunk was found III the bushes at
the roadside. One of the boys was push
ing his way through some underbrush
when he discovered a wOOlen undershtrt
upon the ground. A little way from the
undershirt was pair of drawers and
vest. The boys went through the pOck-
cts in the vest and found cigar, several
pennies and some matches. From the
fact that the clothing was scattered
about when found. it is supposed that it
had previously been
OVERHAULED BY SOMEBODY
who went off with whatever he deemed
of value. The boys tore strips out OF
the undershirt to make rope to play
with, and later built a dam across a
ditch and used the clothing in its con-
struction. When they went home in the
evening they left the vest, pair of
drawers and undershirt under the
water and mud in the little stream.
In the morning one of them told Mrs.
Hamburgher about the find while de-
scribing the trip through the woods
he had taken the previous day. She had
been reading the Cr0nin case and at
once concluded that the discovery
might be of Importance in the eyes of
the police. The boys were sent to Rose
Hill, and after a long hunt found the
dam across the ditch, and, digging
down, recovered the wet and dirty
clothing and started home with it. The

CROWNER'S QUEST.
A Visit to the Cot age and the
Catchbasin by the Jury.

CHICAGO, May 2S.--The coroner's
jury which is to investigate the death
of DR.. Cronin met in the coroner's Office
this morning at 10 o'clock. They started
from the county building and drove to
he Carlson cottage, on Ashland ave-
nue., where the murder is sup
posed to have been committed.
The jurors went through all the
rooms in the cottage, basement, ground
floor and attic, and carefully examined
the blood stains in the parlor. The
coroner explained how the murderers
painted the floor in order to hide the
blood stains and how they painted at
night to avoid being seen. ''How do
you know they painted at night" asked
Dr.. Seifert. ''Because there are drops
of yellow paint spattered upon the lamp
chimney" The lamp was produced
from the pantry shelf where it had been
hidden. 1t had a blue glass globe and a
white glass handle. The globe, the
handle and the chimney were marked
by little drops of yellow paint. The
hairs still sticking in the clots. The
coroner showed the footsteps in the bed
room, which were marked upon the
floor i'll yellow paint. THAT fellow
wore stockings when ne walked over
this floor" said Coroner Hertz, ''for 1
can see the marks made by the yarn"
Juror Sutter tried his foot on one of the
footsteps. and found that it was
the mark of much larger
foot than his own. ut must
have been man strong enough
to handle a dozen DR.. Cronins." The
procession started from the cottage and
followed Belmont avenue to Evanston
avenue, and Evanston avenue to Argyle
park. Lieut.. Spengler pointed out the
spot near SulZer street where the bloody
trunk was found, and half an hour later
the entire party gathered around the
catchbasin in which CrOnin'S body was
found. The coroner pried Off the top,
and the jurors gazed at the bits of
fluffy cotton still sticking to the
boards. "This shows that Cronin's
body was carried in the trunk"
said the coroner. ''for the cotton we see
here is like the cotton found in the
trunk and in the COTTAGE" On the way
to the city the procession stopped but
once. at the corner of Frederick street
and Clark street. The police lieutenant
pointed out the spot where the officer
stood who saw the three men, the horse,
the wagon and the trunk going north
on the night of the murder. The in
quest was set for tomorrow morning OF
10 o'clock, and will be held in the cor
ouer'S office.
