CHICAGO, Jan. i.-Judge McCon.
nell to-day denied the motion for a

he Rad arrived at this conclusion after
much delibersiion. He did not think
the Identification Of kunze by the diff.
farent witnesses was complete nor
that the motive for Germsn to mix
in IRISH politics ws~ strong enough,
and he therefore gtanted Kunz' a
new trial. Judge Mcconnell said the
Jury by their verdict had concluded
that iha conspiracy wa. not formed In

dict rs an sbsurdity. Asked II he bad
anything to say, Dan Cougnlin arose
and said in firm, distinct tones: "Your

long enough to say: II sm innocent.
I always knew that in England they
allow rerjurers to go on the stand and
convict innocent men. hut / never

moments silence followed and then
the court said: "Will the three men

the Judge imposed sentence in the
following word-: Following the
verdict Of the jury the judgment Of
the court il that you be taken to the
penitentiary at Joliet and there be
confined for the term Of your natural
lives" Coughlin aud Burke heard
the words without losing command Of
their feelings, hut O'Sullivau's lips
quivered and his face had worn,
pinched expression. Defense were
granted sixty day. to tile bill Of ex-
ceptions. lt was announced that

OF all the foolish schemes that have
been or can be proposed by any organ
lied association of men in this city,
that of bridge across the channel
between COnnor's and Rices Points
takes the premium for exultant folly
just at the present time. If the pro-
posal had come from the Duluth com
mon council nobody could have felt
that it was an inappropriate or foolish
action upon their part, except as it
might have seemed like flying in the
face of the storm. For if such a pro-
posal came from there it would GER
tainly be regarded by our people mere
ly with suspicion but with a quiet
humor such as a good horse trader
might entertain when he knows the
other fellow is trying to overreach him
i'll a trade.
In the first place, the only bridge
that can ever be permitted to be built
at the point named must be high
bridge, extending upon an elevated
superstructure along Rice's Point to
Superior street in Duluth, and upon a
similar structure across Towards
Pocket to Lamborn or Hammond
avenue in Superior, Such a structure
would cost 100000 at the present
time, and would of course have to be
