ONE CENT A MILE.

Veterans Getting Cheap Rates to Detroit,
Mich.
DETROIT, Mich. July 2o.-The Ohio
visitors to the G. A. r. encampment
are coming at the rate of one cent
per mile. The Colum bus, Hooking Val
ley & Toledo, the Wheeling & Lake
Erie and the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton roads. the three main north and
south iues through Ohio, have
agreed upon a one cent per mile
rate, and the transportation COM
mittee of the Ohio G. A. r. has
made these roads the official lines.
The influence of the cut upon the
other roads is problematic- A promi-
nent member of the Michigan passen-
ger association said last night that it
would lead to general smash in rates
on all lines. The Baltimore & Ohio
and Big Four will be compelled to meet
the rate or surrender the business, and
if several other big roads should follow
suit the passenger associations would
have merry war upon their hands

A CRONIN STORY.
Disappearance Of the Man Who
Drove the White Horse.
SWALLOWED Up IN NEW YORK.
Dark Hint That He Has Been Put Out of
the Wsy-Furnished With Funds
BY q Mysterious Indi-
vfdual. '

NEW Yc RK, July 2o.-The Advertiser
prints the following story about the
man who is supposed to have driven the
white horse which took DIR. Cronin to
his death: Immediately after the con-
viction of he prisoners, an Irishman
who called himself Peter Deane and
who lived in Lakeview not far from the
Carlson cottage, quietly left Chicago
and went to Canada. Deane was a dog
fancier and dealer in birds. He was q
quiet, reserved man, and apparently
took no greater interest in the Cronin
story than did his neighbors- He at
tended to his business every day, and
when in Deem Der. 1889, he shut up his
shop and disappear ed no particular
curiosity was aroused
''It was not known to the people in
Lakeview, however. that Deane had
been in daily communication with q
prominent member of the Clan-na-Gael
ever since the trial began, nor was it
known that this same prominent mem
Der paid Deane's expenses in Canada
and that Deane there joined the Stark
eys, who were suspected of q guilty
knowledge of DIR. Cronin's death. The
dog fancier remained in retirement for
nearly a year and then went back to
Chicago. From Chicago he was ordered
to 60 to New York Upon his arrival
there he went to an obscure hotel on
the east side and remained until he was
notified to meet the man who was di-
recting his movements
when this meeting took place the
sum of 50. 900 was paid to Peter Deane.
with the understanding that he would
never 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 lift it in and
when he helped lift it out Deane
promised and then he signed a
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 per-
sonality was SO marked that he could
not be swallowed up even in a
city like New York. The receipt
that he signed has been shown to a
gentleman in New York. The holder
of it expresses the belief that he will
never be called upon to pay another
dollar. Whether Peter Deane is dead
or alive only this one man knows and
this one man is safer with Deane dead
