REPUBLICAN UUUNTY UUMMIIIb
Many Anxious for the 0fices-HOt
Contests Expected.

There will be a very lively time at the
meeting of the Republican County Commit
tee Friday night when the new committee
organizes A great fight will take place
over the proposed amendments to the Con
stitution and bylaws, and also over the cleo
ton of officers. 1t is not believed that
Chairman E. W. Woolley will have any ac-
tive opposition for reelection, but that John
E. Macarthur, who desires to be elected
First Vice Chairman, will have hard time
to accomplish that result.
There are a number of patriots willing to
relieve Mr. Macarthur of this office, and for
some reason strong feeling has been
worked up against him. He feels confident,
however, that he can be elected.
The contest for secretary will be between
John Erwin, the incumbent, and John 2.
Landrine Erwin has made good secre-
tary and has done much hard work, and
his friends desire to reward him by second
term.
The fight over the proposed amendment to
abolish the offices of second vice-president
and assistant secretary viii be beyond doubt
hard one, and if these positions are not
done awaywith, a great contest will ensue to
fill them.
Michael Schultze wants another term as
treasurer but he is being opposed by Chas
o. Barker of the Second Assembly district
The chances of Schultze are good, for the

THE OoUGHLIN TRIAL
An Unwilling Witness Causes Some
Trouble.

CHICAGO, JAM 10, 1894 Stephen Colleran,
the unwilling Clan-na-Gael witness who looks
like a twin brother of Martin Burke, de
ceased, was put on the stand again
at the trial of Dan Coughlin this
morning to undergo further cfoss-exarnina-
ton In reality he posed as a young pliable
Irishman who had an understanding with
witness for the State The positions were
reversed and the public prosecutor did
the cross-examining He did it vigor-
rously and brought the witness dangerously
near trap in which perjurers are caught.
Judge Wing protested that the prosecution
could not "impeach its own witness
with any decency OF impropriety,"
but Attorney Bottliln arraigned Colleran
just the same under the rule that they could
refresh the memory of their own witness.
The first point made by the defense was that
the public prosecutor had not given Colleran
chance to read over his previous testimony
as other witnesses had done.
Last night Coleran spent some time in the
Office of Judge Wing, and the result was APP
parent in court He admitted having known
Burke and 'Cooney the Fox" intimately. At
the first trial he swore he did not see Burke
after May IS or 10, the latter being the day
Cronin's body was found and also
the time Burke fed to Canada. Today, in
answer to the defense, he swore that he saw
Burke a week later, the Sunday of DR..

INVESTIGATING THE RAsCALs.

The Grand Jury yesterday resumed its in
vestigation into the methods of the Street
and Water Commissioners. Three weeks
ago Martin Finck, Clerk of the Board of
Finance, and Comptroller Hough were
subpenaed to produce certain official papers,
and the subpenas were obeyed. Yesterday
the Grand Jury had Water Assessor Heller,
Water Registrar Haley and all of the clerks
in the office of the Street and Water Board
before it.
1t is believed that the Grand Jury intends
to make a most thorough examination of
this board and that if necessary, expert ao-
countants will be employed. There seems to
be no reason for doubling that the water &C
count will be thoroughly ventilated and the
causes ascertained why it is not self-sustain-
ing. The Grand Jury will meet again to-
morrow and the investigation will be con-
tinued.

Jersey City Men Offer to Pay Him

Banquet and Speak.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 1S94.-The managers
of Jersey City banquet which is to take
place January 26 are doomed to disappoint-
ment and Members of Congress are laughing
at their expense. The Jersey City men wrote
recently to Senator Mcpherson asking him
to invite ex-Speaker Reed and Representa-
tive Wilson of West Virginia, to attend the
banquet and respond to a tariff toast.
In the absence of the Senator, a Jersey City
representative undertook the task. He was
authorized by the letter to offer to Messrs.
Reed and Wilson 800 each and their ex-
penses When Mr.. Reed heard the PROPOSE
ton he grinned and said
ssOf course, the laborer is worthy of his
hire. but for the present and the next few
weeks will have a pretty big job on my
hands here. / regret that it will be impos-
sible for me to accept the generous offer"
Mr. Wilson at first was disposed to regard
the proposition as joke, but when informed
that it was made seriously, he smiled and
said
II am afraid you will have to excuse me"
Both men have received many invitations
to public dinners, but this is the first that
has been accompanied by an offer of money.

to explode in my room as in the Chamber OF
Deputies"
The prisoners object in loading the bomb
with nails was lengthily discussed.
Valiant repudiated the charge that his
motive in choosing them was personal fear.
He had no reason for his choice beyond that
he had to select either nails or bullets
Valiant added that he declined to lie for
pleasure, having his head under the guillo-
tine or not. He here referred to his defence by
saying that if he used nails intending only
to wound, this offence did not carry with it
the same penalty inflicted for intention to
kill
vALLANTs MODE OF LIFE.
The prisoner asked permission to address
the Court on his mode of life. This being
granted, he said that he had endeavored to
lead an honest existence. Employers had
prefted by his poverty to pay him starving
wages Finally, without money or work.
he determined, instead of fanishing
submissively, to voice the feeling
of revolt that was fomentlng
discomfort everywhere among the poor. He
read written Anarchist speech that he had
held in his hand ever since the opening OF the
court. In this speech he expressed the
grievances of the poor against society, but
made no reference to bombs.
He was fluent and declamatory, and read
his speech in clear and pleasant voice as ne
leaned more or less gracefully over the rail
of the dock.
WITNESSES EXAMINED.
Madame BeraI, Vaillant's landlady, was
the first witness called. She gave the details
of the prisoners daily habits
Deputy de la Ferronay was next called,
and he related the facts i'll connection with
the explosion.
Doorkeeper Langier, who was on duty at
the time of the explosion, testified as to the
gallery in which Valiant sat.
NJ de 10 Porte, one of those who were
wounded, narrated the details of the ex-
plosion as observed by him and the incidents
that followed
Usher Bourbon told how he had con-
Quoted Valiant to the surgeons to get his
wound dressed.
Archambault, the soldier sentinel who
stopped Valiant, repeated the story OF how
he had prevented at the point of his bayonet
the escape of the prisoner.
Valiant rose from his seat when this
witness had finished and emphatically denied
his statement.
1t is believed that the trial will be finished
tonight It is thought Valiant will escape
with sentence of penal servitude for life.
SUSPICIoUS-LooKING PACKAGE.
During the noon recess, a suspicious look-
ing package, the size and shape of lobster
box, was found wrapped in paper in
the court room of the Second Cham
ber of the Court of Appeal. The
discovery caused terror, as it was thought
an attempt had been made to cause an .ex
plosion in the Palace of Justice. The box
was sent to the Municipal Laboratory. The
Parislans thought the report of the discovery
of the box was joke, but it has since beer
confirmed It is thought however, than ar
examination will show that the contents o.
the box are harmless.
