RELIC OF THE CRONIN MURDER.
The Long SOught-FOr Accomplish Who Helped
Clan-na Gaels OPPOSE of the Body.

NEW YORK. July 19.-The Morning Ad-
vertiser prints rather 'fshy" story about
the man who is supposed to have driven
the white horse which took DR.. Cronin to
his death. The story in part is as follows:
Immediately after the conviction Of the
prisoners, an freshman calling himself
Peter Deane. and who lived in Lakevlew,
not far from the Carlson cottage, quietly
left Chicago and went to Canada. Deane
was dog fancier and dealer in birds. He
was quiet. reserved man, and apparent
~ took no greater interest in the CrODin
mystery than did his neighbors. He at
tended to his business every day. and
when, in December. 1889, he shut up his
shop and disappeared no particular Curl
osity was aroused. 1t was not known to
the people in Lakeyiew. however, that
Deane had been in daily communication
with prominent member of the Clan-na-
Gael ever since the trial began. nor was
it known that this same prominent
member paid Deane's expenses to Canada,
AID that Deane there joined the William
Starkey who was suspected of a guilty
knowledge of DIR. Cronins death. The
dog-fanCier remained In retirement nearly
ayear. and then went back to Chicago.
From Chicago he was ordered to GO to New
York. Upon his arrival there he went to
an obscure hotel on the East Side and re-
manned until he was notified to meet the
man who was directing his movements.
When this meeting took place. the sum
of g., 600 was paid to Peter Deane. with the
understanding that he would neve. relate
the fact that he had driven the horse from
the Carlson cottage to the catch-basin, and
that he knew what the trunk which he put
In the wagon contained when he helped
carry 1t to and from the wagon. Deane
promised and then signed receipt for the
money. The next day he left New York to
go to Canada. He never went. He did not
return to Chicago The mans personality
was 80 marked that he could not be swal-
The receipt that he signed had been shown
to a man in New York. The holder of it
expresses the belief that he will never be
called upon to pay another dollar. Wheth-
er Peter Deane is dead or alive, only this
one man knows and this one man Is safer
with Deane dead than Deane alive"

LABOR AGAINST CAPITAL.

TIse Great Railway Strike in France L. Life
or Death to the Unions.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, July ia dispatch from Paris
says an immense meeting of railway en-
plOyes, comprising those already on strike
and large number who will go out to-
morrow. was held to-day. with the usual
lnflammstory speeches denouncing the rail-
way officials and declaring that the strike
would last until the smallest detail of the
demands made by the men shall be con-
coded by the companies. The issue in the
contest is sharply drawn. and admits Of no
compromise. 1t is purely fight for the
life of labor unionism on the part of the
men, and q fight for its death on the part
Of the companies. The trouble grew out of
the frequent and wholesale dismissals by
the companies of employees, invariably
members of the various unions. Whether
the selection of men for dismissal was made
desigpedly from the ranks of the unionists,
the officials would not say, though they
were repeatedly pressed TO do so.
This action, with Its accompanying
reticence on the part of the
employers was construed as q deliberate
attack upon the unions, because of former
demands for better pay, shorter hours and
other benefits which the companies had de-
clined to grant.
1t was declared at the meeting to-day
that sufficient number of men would Join
the strikers in Paris and along the lines of
the five roads involved To bring the already
badly crippled traffic 20 complete stand

Opposition Organs Predict the Fall of tho
Presens Cabinet In Three Months.
PARIS, July 19.-The press Is generally
satisfied that NJ. De Freycinet will not re-
sign the premiership. The Steele says: "a
rupture of the Cabinet on such grounds
would be incomprehensible alike to the
Chamber and to the country. A change IN
the government at the present juncture
would sisnally encourage the strike agi-
tators."
La Justice holds that the rebuffs recently
experienced by the Ministers must not be
attributed to any combination against
them. 1t says: The strength of a repub-
lican government must be measured by the
manner in which it responds to public
opinion. not by votes having a character
unworthy of serious consideration"
Several opposition organs predict the fall
of the Cabinet within three months. They
say that constants from within and Ferry
without, are caballing to Dust NJ. De Frey

MURDERED HIS BEST FRIEND.


Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MARSHALL. ILL.,, July 19.-One of the most
singular as well as distressing tragedies in
the history of Clark county occurred last
night at Dennison, seven miles east OF here
on the Vandalia line. Andrew Rinehart
and Marion Rollings, men who had been
the warmest friends for years, were muir
derer and victim, respectively. Rinehart
is a grizzled veteran Of the late war. over
fifty years of age. Rollings was about
forty and quite prominent citizen OF Dem
nison. be having served one term as county
coroner and held smaller offices. Yester-
day both men were in Marshall and Roll
ings went home considerably under the
influence of liquor. About o'clock he and
Rinehart met in front of Jno. loves
store. Rinehart made some jestiDg remark
to Rollings. who at once flew into rage.
and advancing upon Rinehart began strik-
ing at him. Rinehart retreated for two
OF three hundred feet. all the time trying to
pacify ROllings. Suddenly Rollings threw
his hand around to has hip pocket as If to
draw n revolver. Rlnehart. who by this
time had an open pOcket-knife In his hand,
made q sudden motion toward Rollings TO
try to scare him back and with not the
slightest intention of striking him. as he
declares. Rollngs fell with the blood squirt
ing from his thigh and in three minutes be
was dead. The body lay where it fell IN
til the coroner arrived, when it was found
that the femoral artery had been pierced.
Had the knife blade struck a quarter of an
inch i'm any direction from where 1t did
only a slight flesh wound would have been
made.
Rinehart was arrested this morning and
put in jail. He spends nearly all his time
crying and saying that he had murdered
his best friend. He declares that he loved
Rollings like brother and no thought of
injuring him ever entered his mind. Public
sympathy is pretty generally with him. He
will have his preliminary trial tomorrow.
