This governor, who was also an

authority while the natives Of New
Caledonia were still cannibals.-
There had been rumors Of an in

before him a native chief who was
faithful to the French cause, and
questioned him as to their truth.
"You may be sure" said the ma

AWAY.

l cannot say, and will not say,
That he is dead. He Is just away!
With a CHEEKY smile, and wave of the
band,
He has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since he fingers there.
And you-O you, who the widest yearn
For the old-time step and the glad re
turn
Think of him farlng on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here ;
And loyal still, as he gave the blows
OF his warIior-strength to his cOuntry's
foes
Mild and gentle, as he was brave,
When the sweetest love of his life he
gave
To simple things where the violets
grew
Pure as the eyes they were hkened to,
The touches of his hands have strayed
As rel erently as his lips have prayed;
When the little brown thrush that
tarshly chirred
Was dear to him as the mOcking-bird
And he pitied as much as a man in pain
A writhing hOney-bee wet with rain.
Think of him still as the same, say:
He is not dead-he is just away!

A NEW TRIAL ASKED.
Counsel for the Convicted Cronin Wanderers
Demand n Rehearing = Numerous
Errors AIleRcd-New Evidence
Snid 10 be Ready.

Demand Rehearing - Numerous
Errors AIleged-New Evidence
Said TO be Ready.
CHICAGO, January 10.-Late this after
noon Attorneys Wing, Donohoe and For
rest filed a motion for a new trial in the
cases of Coughlin, Burke, O'Sullivsn and
Kunze, convicted Of the murder of DR..
Cronin. The motion was filed in accordance
with the order of Judge Mcconnell, before
whom the arguments Will be made Monday.
The motion assigns SO causes of error in the
rulings of Judge Mcconnell during the
trial of the case. These grounds of alleged
error embrace every point contested by the
attorneys for the defense, and range from an
objection to the Courts overruling the mo-
ton to quash the indictments up to the
assertion that the defense has, since the
trial, discovered new evidence which en-
titles them to a new trial.
The first error alleged is that the Court
erred in overruling the motion to quash the
indictment made on behalf of each of the
defendants. The denial of Coughlin's mo-
tion for a separate trial is made the basis of
four of the alleged errors, there being a
separate count for each of the defendants.
Other alleged errors are: The refusal of the
Court to permit the defense to show that
Messrs. Mills, Ingham and Hynes were
employed in the prosecution BY private
parties who were actuated by improper
motives, is alleged to have been
prejudicial to the defendant; the overrul-
ing of the challenge for cause, preferred
by the defendants to long list of venire-
men whose names are given in the motion,
is further alleged to be an error; side re-
marks made by the States Attorney while
examining jurors; the Introduction Of DR..
Cronin's knives after the State had closed
its case is said to have been in error.
The verdict is pronounced as contrary to
law and not justified by the evidence, and
finally it is said that "the defendants and
each one of them have discovered evidence
which entities them to new trial"

THE READING ROW.
Success OF the Attempt TO Dissolve the
Voting Trust Observation-Disclosures.
maker Files Answer TO

Bill in Equity.
PHILADELPHIA, January 10. = The
threatened litigation TO secure an injunction
preventing the voting of trustees of the
Reading Railroad Company from re-elect-
ing President Corbin, was the absorbing
topic of conversation on the street to-day.
There was considerable difference of opinion
as to the success which Mr.. Corbin's oppo-
nents would meet with. An attempt was
made sometime ago to dissolve the Reading
voting trust, and the courts were appealed
to. The writ is still pending, and it is not
likely to be settled for six months or more.
The petition was signed BY a number OF
the security holders of the road, who claimed
that dissolution of the voting .trusteeship
would be in the interest of all concerned.
No charges against Mr.. Corbin were made
when the petition was filed. On the con-
trary, it was regarded as a friendly suit,
brought for the purpose Of en-
abling the Reading to father the
great Coal Trust which Mr.. Corbin
was credited with haying fathered. John
Wanamaker, a member of the Board of Vot-
ing Trustees, through his attorney, filed
late this afternoon his answer to the bill in
equity, filed in Common Pleas No. 2 by
William H. Shelmordine and Spencer Err
win against the voting trustees and the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and
Coal and Iron Companies. The answer is
brief, and reads as'follows:
John Wanamaker. one of the above named
defendants, answering, says: That he is one of
the voting trustees as alleged in plaintiffs bill;
that he does not wish to join in any course
which may tend to impugn the motives of the
plaintiff or delay the consideration of the
question raised by the bill; that the next cleo
ton for officers OF the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company for the ensuing wear will
take place on the 18th day of January, 1890 and,
as the plaintiffs bill has raised the
question of the validity of the powers of the
voting trustees, he respectfully asks for in
structions that he may act intelligently in the
premises. and in accordance with the judgment
of your honorable court, upon the questions at
issue.
The suit was brought to have the voting
trust declared null and void, and the COM
pany put in plea that the suit was not
brought in good faith. This was overruled
by the Court, and the defendants were di-
rected to answer. Mr.. Wanamaker is the
first to respond to that order.
