FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN
Northern Pacific Control of
 the B. & O. System.
TO SPAN THE CONTINENT
Tho Northern Pacific Completing Its flne to New York -vlilard's Policy and His Control of Means---His
 Projects Discussed.

NEW YORK, February 19.-Dispatches from the West yesterday announced on what was quoted as "high authority that movement was on foot by which tho Northern Pacific Railroad Co was to se- cure control of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road system. Such an acquisition would give tho Northern Pacific Co complete transcontinental line by the use of its lately acquired control of the Wisconsin Central road. It was not possible to obtain from officers of the Northern Pacific Co, in this city any confirmation of the big scheme outlined in the dispatches, but there were no out and out denials From sources practically official, however, there come statements and admissions which go n good way toward indorsing the western announcement. One officer of the Northern Pacific road said that 'sso far nothing like the big deal suggested has been accom- plished," but pressed to tell whether or not such project was in view he practi- cally admitted that it was being worked upon.
 This Northern Pacific officer pointed out what he called the manifold advantages'' of tho control of the R. X O. by the North ern Pacific. It was no new discovery, hc said. Mir. Willard had always been awake to the opportunities in it, and, it was added suggestively, the present owner of the B. X o. securities were not disinclined to sell out at n fair price,
 A most important fact bearing upon the probability of the report Is the immense amount of money at Mir. villard's com. mand. He was practically untold millions nt his disposal, and 1t is suspected that when the $l5o, 900, 900 bond was lately au- thorizcd by the Northern Pacific directors Mir. Willard had even then his eye upon tho big E. < O. deal.

A BATTLE WITH BURGLARS.
An Ohio Farmer Defends His Home and
 Kills Thief.

CREsTLISK, O., February 17--John F. F'rengle, farmer living in Sandusky Township, Richland County. one mile and half east of this place, was surprised this morning when he stepped from his door, way. Before him lay a man, stranger, dead. Mir. Frenele came to town this morning and said that parties attempted to burglarize his home last evening. Before he went to bed two men rapped at the door and said they had an important mes. sage that must be answered at once. Sus- pccting that everything was not right, he told the parties to wait minute and he would open the door During tho interval he hastily secured a revolver and put it into his hip pocket, and then unlocked the door The two men pushed the door in rapidly and jumped into tho house. One of them took Mrs Frangle and proceeded to secure and gag her, and the other opened up 2 fight with Mir. Freugle and finally sue. eeeded in getting him onto the floor. Mir. Frengle's first thought was to endeavor to shoot the man who had him down. but quickly seeing an opportunity to fra at the man who was tussling with his wife, he fired. The man started toward the door and fell out. The other one, seeing thu. ao was alone, became alarmed and also fed, but did not get away in time to prevent second sho. being aimed at him. Mir. Frengle thinks this shot struck the man in the leg. He got away however. The man lost a hat, and this morning man without a hat and limping, with an accomplice. was arrested and jailed here. The man says he hurt his ankle by falling into cattle-gnard along tho Fort Wayne Railroad track The criminals arc entirc strangers, and ths dead man is also unknown. Plunder, no doubt, was their aim.
 MT. Frcnglc Is very wealthy farmer, aud has resided in this vicinity for years. He is dangerous man to attack, however, and for years has anticipated burglary, and has always kept firearms within easy roach.
 Mir. Frcngle is reported to be worth from ss'0, ,ooo to s1e,ooo and has safe in the house The burglars being entire stran gers in this vicinity, it follows that some one we'll acquainted with Mir. Frengle's 8 affairs must have put the thieves on the big game.

 ST. LouIs, Mo, February lo.-The mys- tery surrounding the murder of Dr. ?. II Cronin in Chicago Is about to be cleared up. The latest and best clew has been found in St. Louis. The man who drove the buggy in which Dr. Cronin was conveyed from his home to the Carlson cottage to be mur- dered was arrested in St, Louis last night and is now in the holdover in the Four Courts This important arrest of the man who lured the doctor to his destruction will clear one of the darkest spots of the mys tery Dispatches from Hancock, Mich, and Little Rock tell of the arrest in those cities of "Cooney the Fox" and "J B, Simonds.'' This information Detective Thomas of Chicago, who is in the city, says is in all probability true. These arrests, while they do not intensity nor detrac. from the guilt of Burke, Coughlin, O'Sulli. van and others convicted for the murder, show the ramifications of the conspiracy which resulted in one of the most terrible murders ever known.
 The man under arrest hero gives the name of J. B. Kelly and denies all com. plicity in the murder Men are on their way from Chicago to identify him if he is Smith
