CHICAGO, Oct. 24-The supreme court
of Illinois has just decided that railway
company allowing newsboys on its cars is
responsible for any damages they may re-
ceive. The case was against the North
Chicago street railroad, and the judgment
was for S3,342, which has been paid The
court held that since the boy was permitted
on the car he was not a trespasser and
being allowed to jump on and off, the COM
pany assumed responsibility for any dam
age that might ensue. This is the first

Boat Lose Their Lives.
DEsERoNTo, ONT, Oct. 4.-The steamer
Quinte of the Deseronto Navigation Com
pany, Capt Christie in command, was
burned about three miles from Desero nto
about O'Clock last evening, while on her
way to Picton. Four persons were lost.
They were Capt. Christie's mother. his
young brother, Charles; Mrs. Stacey, a
ladies' maid, and her son, Davern,
of Trenton. AS far as can
be ascertained the passengers were
all saved. Three or four have severe burns
but the doctors report that none are seri-
ously injured. Many were chilled by being
in the water. Col. Strong, the United
States consul at Belleville, was slightly
burned and chilled by the water. All the
survivors were brought to Deseronto and
properly cared for. The fire, it is supposed,
started in the furnace room. 1t spread
quickly to the whole boat The captain ran
the boat ashore only short distance away,
where she lies almost entirely destroyed. The
boat had light load of freight and express
matter, principally lumber, all of which
was destroyed. She also carried the mails,
which were lost The Quinte was valued at
$4,000, and was partly insured.

TAILoRs ON A STRIKE.
One Firms Refusal to Discharge a
Foreman the Cause.

FOREMAN the Cause.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 24.-Between ESQ
and 700 journeymen tailors, employed in
twenty-eight Of the largest aud frst-class
tailoring houses in Chicago, went out on a
strike this morning pursuant to a decision
reached at a big meeting held last night in
IA hall on North Clark street. The indica-
tons are that the difficulty will not be soon
adjusted. The dispute originated in the
tailoring establishment of Mathews & Co.
The men We're dissatisfied with their fore
man, a man named Hendrickson They
made complaint of this man to Mathews,
but the latter claims that no specific charges
were made, a simple demand being pre-
sented for Hendrickson's dismissal.
REFUSAL FOLLOWED BY QUIT.
The firm refused to discharge the foreman,
and the men quit work A meeting of the
Chicago Drapers' and Tailors' Association
was held and Mathews action was approved.
meeting of the Journeymen Tailors'
Union approved Of the strikers action
against Hendrickson. The men seem to be
very confident that they are the only good
tailors to be procured, and say that settle
ment will only be made when the obnoxious
foreman at Mathews is discharged.
WORK ON HAND TO BE FINISHED.
The meeting to-day was held to decide on
what action to take regarding the finishing
of the work now on hand. Everything
was dropped this morning where the
stitches were left last night IL was de-
cided, in justice to those customers who
would be greatly inconvenienced, that all
work unfinished be completed and returned
to the bosses The employing tailors who
are affected are aristocrats in the trade,
and the cheapest suits they make cost $40,
and from that figure range TO $3.50.

Irish people, and TO have it published to ali
their camps was to convict these men of
em6ezzling these funds that had been accu-
mulating for years. 1t would have proved
them not only violators of the laws Of two
countries, but traitors to the cause in which
these people had enlisted; and instead Of
crediting them with doing that which was
to benefit poor old Ireland. it would brand
them the worst men on the earth among the
Irish people. That was the object.
Attorney Longnecker then went on TO
show how Coughlin had begun denouncing
Cronin as spy way back in February;
how Beggs, at certain meetings of camp 20,
had said that Cronin's denunciation of Sulh-
van aud the Triangle had to be stopped, ''if
it took blood"
THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE MURDER.
Finally, after several weeks delay, Beggs,
as guardian of camp 20, announced that
the charges against the Triangle would have
to be Investigated. The next day the fiat
at No. 1T Clark street was rented, the
trunk and furniture which afterwards were
removed to the Carlson cottage bought,
and the preparations begun for tue murder.
The states attorney then went over the
whole story of the conception and execu-
tion of this plot, which has SO often been
told
THE FIRST WITNESS CALLED.
At the afternoon session Attorney Long
necker concluded his address Then all the
lawyers of the defense waived the right to
address the jury, and ex-Capt. Nilliers of
Lake View was put on the stand.
The testimony of Vllliers was: unimpor-
tant, except as to the one fact that he knew
Cronin in his life time, and that as the body
was being conveyed in the patrol wagon
from the catch-basin to the morgue he had
identified it as that of the dead doctor.
James E. Boland, cashier in a coal
dealers office and an associate of Crouin in
various secret societies, also gave testimony
as to the identity of the body, and to the
location of Cronin's Office.
COULDN'T SEE INTO HIS OFFICE.
Lawyer Forrest, for the Defense elected
from Boland on the croSs-examination the
fact that, contrary to the general belief,
Cronin's Office was so situated that view
into the windows could not be obtained
from the Clark street flats supposed to have
been hired by the accused, Cronin's office
not fronting on Clark street, but being in
the rear of the building, and facing on an
alley
Other witnesses before the adjournment
were; j. G. O'Keefe, Cronin's tailor; J. p.
Holland, a reporter; Henry Rosche, the
sewer foreman who found the body in the
catch basin; Stephen Connolly, the morgue-
keeper; A. o. Wisch, in whose barber
shop Cronin had his tonsorial work
done; Maurice Morris, associated in
weekly newspaper venture with
Cronin; Joseph O'Byrne, a secret service
friend of Cronln's. Their testimony related
wholly to the finding and Identification of
the corpse. Their cross-examination brought
out nothing apparently, except that all the
witnesses but the sewer foreman and barber
had been actively identified with the or
ganized efforts to aid the prosecution.

WRECKED AT A SWITCH.
Train Wreckers at the Bottom of the
Terrible Crash.

Terrible CRASH.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. PA special
to the Sentinel from Wabash, Ind, SAYS:
- fast east-bound passenger train on the
Wabash road was wrecked tonight at
Feller's Station, five miles west of this city.
There is a heavy grade at that point, and
the train was running forty miles au hour
when Engineer George King saw that the
switch was part ly thrown open. He i'm
mediately applied the air brake, but there
was no time to check the train. The engine
and baggage car and express car left the
track and plunged along the siding for
about twenty rods. The engine turned
over and the baggage car was hurled down
the embankment, distance of thirty feet.
STUCK TO THEIR POSTS.
The engineer and fireman clung to their
places in the cab, which was reduced to
splinters, being telescoped by the baggage
car. The smoker, chair car, and Wagner
sleeper kept the track, bnt they
were -a all - rake! by the engine
in passing and were considerably
damaged. The front end of the smoker was
carried away in striking the engine. Some
passengers were slightly injured, but their
escape was certainly miraculous. One man
was seated in the front end Of the smoker,
and was hurled backward by the blow
which carried away that part Of the car.
KING NOT KILLED
Engineer King was pulled out of the cab
by the fireman, whose coilar-bone was
broken. King was badly bruised.
"a deadhead fireman named William
Hutchins of Hogansport was injured.
Pacific Express Agent Frank Browell
of Toledo was found under a big
pile OF hunks together with Baggage Master
Gerhart Meyers. Both men were badly
bruised. Their car is a total wreck.
AN investigation showed that the switch
lock had been broken by train wreckers,
the bowlder with which the lock was
pounded being found close by.'

LANDS OF THE sACs AND FOX Es.
The Indians Not Inclined TO Accept the
Governments Offer.


CHICAGO, Oct. 24--A dispatch from
Quawpaw Valley, l. T., says: "The COM
missioners arrived here from the Sac and
Fox agency yesterday, and encamped here.
Their negotiations with the Sacs and Foxes
were not favorable. The Indians listened
to the tempting offer of the commissioners
in sullen silence. There seems to be no dis
position among them to sell. The Indian
agent, post trader, and numerous squaw
men, who have influence over them, have
poisoned the minds Of the Indians against
the commissioners. The agent and trader
both treated the commissioners with scant
courtesy. Their GOODNESS was so painfully
apparent that the commissioners cut their
visit short, and left for the Kickapoo coun-
try. Before leaving the Sac and Fox
country news came from The Iowa reserva-
tion that the Iowas had become alarmed
about their land, and were preparing TO
submit TO the inevitable. There was already
great scramble for choice lands"
