A Cousin of the Prisoner Tells
What She Knows.

What She Knows.
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-A large crowd
gathered at the Coughlin trial today in
expectation of testimony by the defend
ant. Coughlin'S attorneys asserted.
however. that he would not 20 on the
stand today. and Mrs. Kate McEvoy
vas called. She is a cousin of the pris-
oner, and said she visited his house at
1880 on the evening of May 4, 1889. She
said C0ughlin came home about IL
o'clock, and shortly afterwards went 10
bed. She said Mrs. Coughiin told her
1t was not necessary for her to tell her
story at the former trial. Joseph S.
Martin, a member OF the state board of
equalization, was the next witness. He
aided III establishing an alibr for the
defendant, by swearing that he saw
Coughlin i'll front of the Chicago ayenue
police station, about 10 O'Clock IN the
night of May 4. The witness said that
he had told Judge Mcconnell during
the former trial of having seen Cough
lin at The station OH May A. For some
reason. Attorney Forrest, who COLI
Quoted the defense at that time, did not
call on Mr.. Martin to testify. Edgar
Powell,a North side veterinary surgeon,
testified that OH the evening of May 4
he saw in front of the Windsor theater
building, in which DR.. Cronin lived, a
horse and buggy. Two men came
out of a doorway nard by, and got
into the buggy. They drove north.
The larger Il had a satchel, and he
heard a third man address him: "Helio,
Doctor"
With lss Powell said he paid especial
attention to the horse, and he said 1t
was Il gray horse with dark legs, and
could not be described as a 'white
horse" During the former trial the
II saw Dinan'S horse on exhibition
there. The horse was not the same one
lie SAW ill front0 of the theater. Powell
said he had not testified before, as he
did not want to get mixed up with the
case"
1T has not yet been decided whether
or not | will go OH the stand" said
Coughlin today. II will leave it to my
attorneys. l don't want to go on the
stand, because my memory has become
affected since l was sent to prison. L

Thomas Falls Short los Billiards.
The game between Glow and Thomas
at Foley's billiard hall-the third In Tie
present tournams mt series-was wit
nesSrd by Il large number OF spectators
last night. 1t required seyenty-six inn-
lngs TO play the contest out. when the
score stood: Glow. 800: Thomas, 1872.
Glow started Off like a Washoe zephyr,
and scored some excellent runs. He
walked up at the seventh inning with a
run ut l.. Then he dropped again up
tn the thirteenth. when he made his
lligheSt-Sl. In the sixteenth he at
tanned p. which effort he duplicated in
his fifty-fourth inning. He made other
high runs OF Is. 20. II. Is IL Is. One
OF the main features of the game was
an exceedingly difficult combination
follow and draw shot by Glow, in which
he exhibited a remarkable piece OF ac-
curate calculation. For this he was
~appiauded. Thomas felt his way along,
and the first half of his game was
characterized by very low runs. When
he reached the thirty-second inning.
he took a little squirt, making
Il. In the next three he never ad-
vanced a button, but in the thirty-SiXth
inning he jumped up to 20. After that
throughout the whole game he only
made 10 three times and II once. the
contest ending with Glow just los ahead.
The game tonight will be between L.
p. Foley and Charles Capen, and will
doubtless prove Of interest.

MONEY PANIC.
Serious Condition Of the Market
in India.

LONDON, Feb. "a dispatch to the
Times from Calcutta says: The con-
dltI0n of the money market is rapidly
approaching a state of panic. gGoy-
ernment securities have fallen below
par. and several failures in .sthe
bazaar are imminent. 1t Is urged
here That the stringency in the npofaley
market, which David Barbour looked
10 as necessary to raise the value Of the
rupee. is at last reached, and tpst the
secretary of state, backed by his credit
of fl0, 000,0 900 sterling. could continue to
maintain it at almost any value. Bnt
this action in abandoning :, the
minimum has utterly destroyed
all confidence, and unlesssh he
can show that he apprenticeship
fact that he now controls the situation,
the feeling of diStruSt will spread. The
opinion is expressed on all sides that
the management of the seal OF the
council bill should be removed from his
hands and entrusted to agents appoint
ed by The government of India, A%hO
shall take their instructions and be i'll
constant touch with the Indian market.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-The Times i'll its
financial article argues in excuse OF the
closing of the minis in India, that
otherwise the crisis i'll the United
States might have had full effect
0n India. The measure now having
passed the American congress, the re-
opening of the minis in India might
produce a new demand, which would
be required to absorb the unplaced sur.
plus metal. Those who are offering
silver under spot prices, the financial
editor of the Times says, should keep
this contingency in view.
with reference TO the proposal al
legged to have been made by the mer-
chants of Calcutta for the reopenipg of
the minis. the Times says: Ii the COM
plete ruin of Indian finances is desired,
it would be impossible to devise
a better arrangement. We are no
admirers of the manner in which
the Indian council has managed its
drafts. but it is only fair to say thai its
principal blunder was its refusal 10
sell under 154 pence until lately. This
mistake was probably made in Difference
to Calcutta opinion, and was the real
reason for the failure of the policy of
closing the mints. Government is al
ways at a disadvantage when it is
known that it must sell a certain
amount of a given article within a
given time.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8.-If the story

OF the nineteen survivors OF the awful
disaster. He could take me to the scene
of the wreck, and was sure he could
locate the exact spot where she went
