CRONIN CASE SPELL.
Superstitious People Discuss Train
of Subsequent Mis-
adventures.

Chicago Ill.,, Jan. 25.-The recent
death at the state insane asylum at Ell
gin of Col. Thomas Jefferson DOlan, the
Chicago Democratic politician, wit and
humorist, who had more than local
reputation, has set the supersttlous
a-talking concerning the train Of m!sad-
ventures that have followed the assas-
nation, now nearly seven years ago. OF
DIR. Patrick Henry Cronin, the Irish
patriot and determined opponent OF the
Clan-na-Gael, as we'll as to wondering
whether the spell that was woven by
that terrible incident will ever be broken.
Dolan's prema ture death recalls the
tragedy from the fact that it was in .
saloon argument over the murder and
in which he championed the dead mans
reputa ton, that he received the terrible
beating about the head that eventually
made him paretic. 1t is a noteworthy
fact in this connection that of the TWEEN
ty-hve men who were understood to be
present at the meeting of the notorious
Camp 90" and at which it has been
generally accepted that Cronin's death
was decreed and his murderers drawn
by lot, fifteen are dead and four more
are outcasts of society. Of the six
remaining names. three figure on the
municipal pay rolls of the city of Chi
cage.
OF the men who were indicted and
lEIcu LOT the cIl1llt, iJSSSS. tIc !dNS t1,
died in terrible agony, his bedside being
guarded that his rawlings should not be-
come public property; Patrick O'Sulli-
van, the iceman. and Martin Burke. the
laborer, passed to another world from
within the walls of Joliet prison, their
lips sealed to the last save to their ia
ther confessors; while Patrick CoOney,
''the fox and Woodruff, alias Black,
the horse thief, both of whom succeed
ed i'll escaping directly after the TRACE
dy. are believed to have since died
the first in Ireland and the second in
Canada. -Four Of the jurors eight wit
nesses for the state and twelve of those
for the defense are likewise no more of
earth.
This record is believed to have no
parallel except in the case of the Itch
borne claimant. Every member Of the
jury that convicted this unfortunate in
dividual died Il violent death. The lord
chief justice who passed the sentence
died soured and heart-broken from fami-
ly and other difficulties that trailed his
proud dignity in the dust. Sergt Bal
lantync, the worldfamous lawyer who
was enEa ged in the case, died Il pauper;
DIR. Kenealy. chief counsel for the de-
Tense. was disbarred for his efforts in
behalf of his clients and died penniless
and broken-hearted. while DR.. McMa-
hon, another of the counsel in the case,
had his head blown off while on Il hunt
ing trip in Ireland a few years after the
trial.

Agony.

London, Jan. 25.-Lord Leighton, bet
ter known as Sir Frederick Leighton,
president of the Royal Academy, is dead.
Lord Leighton suffered from chill this
morning and this was followed by q
serious affection of the heart. His con-

Lord Leighton died in great agony.
Frederick Leighton was born at Scar
borough, December 30, 1880, and from
childhood he evinced a strong passion for

flying it. They opposed for several years,
however. his desire to study art with a
view to making it a profession.
His first systematic instructions in
drawing were received in Rome in the

buildings and the patients were terror

found distributed throughout one builds

Meanwhile. several scattering blazes
were discovered in various parts OF the
asylum. and soon the fire was beyond

for emergency. and help was summoned
from Fork Hill Landing, about two miles
