CHICAGO , Mn.v 27. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEB.J In connection with the many
sensational rumors regarding developments
In the Cronin case , which have lccn ) floating
about to-day , It la stated , this evening , that
a high police oJIlclal , whoso name can not bo
mentioned at present , gave a reporter some
Btartllng Informutlon concerning a number
of prominent Irishman , who have practically
been placed under arrest unknown to their
friends. The Importance of the develop
ments in the Cronin murder case has been
Increasing so alarmingly fast that oven
Mayor Crcglcr and Corporation Counsel
Hutchlnson are dazct1 and almost at a loss to
know Just what steps It Is proper
to tnlto in reference to the suspected persons.
P.rudenco forblds'tlio throwing Into cells of a
dozen prominent Irish citizens , whoso names
ore dally discussed by the public , for foaf of
making serious mistakes. Thin Is the reason
that Ban Coughlln waa at first hold "as n
witness" and not "under suspicion of hav
ing boon an accessory to the crime. " But
thcro nro men , leaders , whoso names are
not only prominent In Chicago , but through
out Ireland , that are plainly susuoctod of
being Implicated , and those are the men In
regard to whom the police hcsltato before
nying the strong hand of the law on them.
W hat has inado the police still moro alarmed
Is the fact that hundreds of nnonymous
letters are being received from people
calling themselves "near friends" of those
suspected ones. Thcao letters purport to
give facts wnlch , If they could bo rollou
upon , would almost justify going out with a
drag not and gathering in enough Irish citi
zuns to crowd the dungeon cells beneath the
cltv hall building. This is not conjecture ;
it i'a the truth as related to a reporter to-day.
Mayor Crogier and his leirul advisors worn
in consultation for two hours , this morning ,
discussing the legal rights of the city in the
question of making indiscriminate arrests.
There is said to bo a acmand for numerous
arrests. Detectives have been to see num
bcrs of suspected people , who , It is thought ,
could give much Informutlon If they only
would. Hut the people refuse , and it is
agreed that the information necessary
can bo obtained only by letting a
number of these men got a look
at the inside of i a cola cell. Some ono is
sure to scjucal if the right man only can bo
secured. This is the opinion of the police.
"Havo there been any now arrestsl" was
the question put to the police oOlclal who
volunteered to dotino what was being done ,
and who , lot It be known , Is a person in
authority.
"Well , you BCO , " he replied , "wo have
moro than one way to arrest a man. A man
ducmi't have to bo brought in ana locked up
t o be under arrest in times lilto these. Do
you undoratundl"
The reporter nodded.
"Well , then , If you ask whether there nro
any now arrests I will say no ono has boon
l6ekcd up. "
Ciof of Police Hubbard was asked this
evening what ho would do with Willard J.
Smith , Coughlin's friend from Houghton ,
Mich.
Mich.Well , I want to see him first' " replied ho ,
' 1 must have a talk with him myself. "
Do you think ho Is the Smith to whom
Coughlln had referencol"
Hubbard did not , reply , but ho gave the
Impression that ho thought Coughlin never
saw any Smith at nil. Will Thomas , a sales
man , spends seven months of each year ir
Houghton , Mich. Ho has volunteered the
Information to the police that such a mar
as Tom Smith lives in that country
town. Willard Smith wrote a letter , which
was received by Detectlvo Lieutenant
Elliott to-day. In the letter Smith admits
the truth of the interview published In the
morning papers. Ho seems anxious to im
press the police with the idea tnat it could
not hnvo beoaiho who drove the white horse
and buggy from Dinan's llvor.v stables on
the evening of May 4.

There was a sensational and rather unex
pooled development in the Cronin case at
10:45 : to-night when Detective Daniel Cough
lin wai formally arrested in the police station
cell , \vhcro ho has bcor. detained on suspic

immediately within the stone walls of the
dungeon. A few moments later the magis
truto ordered his commitment and Coughlii
was hurried out on the way to the county
jail , 'i ho warrant was sworn out by John
Cronlvt. a brother of the dead doctor. Cough-
lln is charged directly with the murder.
It.is learned that Coughlln was to-day sub
jected to a severe course in the "sweat box. "
Ho li s.xld to have boon one of the brightest
olllccts on the force , and was one of Cuptnin
Bchnah's best men during tbo tlmo of tbo an
archist trouble. The outcome of the pump
ing process would bo n matter of'Intorest , but
the police refuse to talk. No ono was allowed
to sou Coughlln all day , not oven an attorney
who had been hired by his friends.

MM. Ijomnsncy'H Opinion.
DKTOOIT , May 27. In reference to Dr. Cro-
nln's report to the Clnn-nn-Gnol , m 1883 , on
the misappropriation of funds- intended for
the family of William Mackay Lomasney ,
Mrs. Lomnsnoy says ;
"It Is n great surprise to mo , and I am
sorry that either myself or my unfortunnto
family should bo mixed up in the death of
Dr. Cronin. It would seem from the reports
that ho was killed because ho know too
much , and that the murder was committed
by his friends. I don't bollovo n word of It.
No Irishman lifted his hand against him , nnd
the murder was paid for with British gold. "
When asked if ho know any of the men
who were charged with appropriating the
money raised by the society for' the benefit
of herself nnd children , she said :
' I know Sullivan is In Chicago. Ho
seemed a very nice man , but I don't know
much about him. The other two mentioned
nro perfect strangers to mo and I never
heard their names boforo. If any money has
boon raised for mo by any society , I never
received a cent of It , but I do not believe
there was. 1 have received aid , but It has
always been from individuals , and not from
organizations. "
Mrs. Lomasney reiterated her belief that
her husband is not dond , but Imprisoned In
some English dungeon , with no chance to
communicate with her.

Presbyterians Get Warm Over a

NEW YOUK , May 27. At the session of the
Presbyterian general assembly to-day the
report ot the publication committee
road , after which Judge Wilson , of Phil
adelphia , president of the board , made an
address. Ho said that the greatest
obstacle to the success of the
board was the fact that by reason
of the conduct of the general assembly to
the board , it wus constantly regarded as an
object of suspicion. Under this condition of
things , Judge Wilson thought the board
could not thrive. Ho did not propose to re
main as president unless the board could bo
trusted with the details of management. Ho
further stated thut ho thought it very im
proper that the assembly should bind the
board to certain rules in Its business trans
actions.
Uov. Dr. Haves , chairman of the commit
tee on temperance , presented a report , lu
which was a resolution expressing sympathy
with the movement m progress for the com
plete suppression of the traffic in intoxicat
ing liynors. Ilov. J. Logun Samulo , of
Black Hills , Dak. , offered the following
substitute :
"That while not Indorsing any political
party , wo desire to express our heartfelt
sympathy with the widespread movement In
favor of prohibition , and extend to its advo
cates a hearty God speed. "
Dr. Howard Crosby opposed the amend
ment nnd said :
"Thoro nro t\vo great principles adopted by
the Christians in this country on the temper-
unco question. One is prohibition and the
other high license. It would bo a croat mis
take for the Presbyterian church to deter
mine which is t ho nest method for the pur
pose. * The prohibitionists nro a political
party and wo have no right to pledge our
adherence to any political parry. "
Dr. Sample said ho advocated prohibition
because it was scriptural , and ho considered
It a sad day for the temperance cause when
u largo body llko tha assembly could noj. . bid
it God speed.
Dr. Crosby said : "What right has Dr.
Sample , to say constitutional prohibition is
the only thing that will connucr the saloon.
I say it would result in frco rum. Both
prohibition und high license are political
questions und we buve no right to ally our
selves to either side. Let us talk It down
nnd condemn , but don't let us take either
side. "
Bv a vote of 210 to 105 the substitute was
laid on the tuble. The original resolution
which rends as follows , was adopted :
Hesolvcd , That wo heartily reiterate the
deliverance of former assemblies upon this
Whole subject and express our sympathy
\vith the widespread popular movement now
in progress , in favor of the complete sup
pression of the traffic in intoxicating liquors
ns a beverage and wo bid all wise und proper
methods to secure this issue , a hearty God
speed.
General pandemonium reigned for a tlmo
and each side in voting used its luntr power
to such good efftct that the moderator was
unable to decide which had won , nnd the
voters wcro asked to stand und it was

gram to TUB BcE.J The town Is full , to
night , with the fleeing families of the farmers
along the state line north nnd west of hero ,
owing to the reported Indian outbreak on
the Uosobud reservation j/y some turbulent
young bucks. The farmers have organized n
company and armed themselves for the pro
tection of tholr property , and have sent tholr
wives and children bore. So great was the
foolish terror of some of the pcoolo that they
were not satisfied until they bad reached
Fort Nlobrara and placed themselves under
the protection of the troops.
As telegraphed to Tin : BEB ' last night ,
General Kautz telephoned to Agent Spencer ,
ot the Hosobud agency , and the agent
reported thcro was no trouble and no likeli
hood of an outbreak. The agent left , to-day ,
to investigate the rumor , and it Is supposed
it was his escort of Indian police that so
frightened the settlers nnd caused thorn to
fly. So great was the foolish scare of many
of these people that they lied without even
their household valuables , and much nctlvo
sympathy Is extended to them. The people
hero , wnllo sympathizing deeply with the
distressed farmers , laugh at an attempted
outbreak , and believe the Indians are as
peacefully Inclined as the farmers them
selves. The latter hnvo been Induced to

Indians , so that any amount of stealing of
household voods could bo done. A little
common sense would certainly have pre
vented much distress and inconvenience. To

Cloud Shield , another , are hero , and know

Mrs. Aldrich Charged With Altirdcr.
HASTINGS , Nob. , May 27. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun BEE.J The trial of Mrs. Lizzie
A. Aldrich , charged with the murder of her
husband , at tholr homo on a farm near Ayer ,
last January , by putting strychnine in his
food , was begun in the district court hero
to-day. Mrs. Aldrich is a middle-aged lady ,
quito plain-looking , and remarkably self-
possessed , appearing almost totally uncon
cerned during the opening proceedings in
court , and bearing the sharp scrutiny of the
crowd with stolid indifference. Her father
and brother , from abroad , are in attendance
at the trial. The jury was impaneled with
out much trouble , and the case w'as opened
by County Attorney Casto. Each and
every allegation was denied by C.
H. Tanner , who appeared for the
defense. Dr. Martin , a local physician , testi
fied that ho saw the body of Aldrich soon
after his death. His hands were clenched
nnd the muscles were in u rigid condition.
Others testified to the same thing. The
body was uftoi wards exhumed. It will bo re
membered , and the contents of tbo stomach
sent to Rush Medical college , Chicago , where
an analysis disclosed ono and one-third
grains of strychnine. Mr. nnd Mrs. Aldrich
lived unhappily , together , nnd nn improper
intimacy alleged between her and Dr. Maul-
tous , jr. , of this pity. Henry Noimoyer , a
hired hand , was first supposed to bo Impli
cated , but In the preliminary examination in
sufficient testimony wns adduced to hold him
and ho was released. Public sentiment in
the neighborhood whore defendant lives is
much against her. All the evidence is cir
cumstantial and conviction is regarded as
doubtful. _

Patrick Connor , a Former Omaha

DENVEH , Colo. , May ' 27. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BEE. ] In a drunken brawl in a
saloon kept by Tim Connor , on Larimer
street , lust night , Patrick Connor was shot
and almost instantly killed by John Mc
lCcon , a stranger from -California. Several
versions of the affair are given , the crowd in
the saloon claiming that MclCcon was the
aggressor and fired the fatal shot without
provocation , while the latter claims that he
had boon knocked down repeatedly before
bo used his gun , and that Connor was on toi
of him , beating him in the face , when ho
finally undertook to defend himself with
weapon.
The trouble seems to have had its origin In
o knock down nnd drug out brawl , of which
William Fit/simmons was the victim. No
very definite statement of this part of the
affulr Is given , though a number of specta
tors aver that Fitzslmmons' assailant was a
man whoso description tallies exactly with
that of the dead man , Connor. Fitzsimmons
was badly pounded up , nnd was finally re
moved to his homo by friends. MclCcon was
In the saloon at the time , though ho took no
part In the fracas. He juid boon drinking
considerably , nnd after the Fitzslmmons
party had departed the spectators claim that
that ho became very aggressive und quarrel
fomo. Officer Nobles entered the room am
found MclCcou lying under the body o :

ner. She was subpoenaed the day she ar

"This Is n ridiculous performance. You

is false , and I produced n certificate signed

PAIUS , May 27. [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to TUB BEE. ] The speech made
by Floquot on assuming the presidency of
, ho radical loft has been the object of many
nnd diverse comments m the French press.
The great part of its importance is duo to the
fact that while the radlcalu huvo agreed to
locate the present cabinet nnd have even
formed u compact with the opportunists , in
view of the approaching election they refuse
to modify their programme in any particu
lar. They maintain , their pretensions to u
revision of the constitution , the separation jof
church and state , and various social reforms ,
which are included in tholr programme.
This attitude will furnish nn explanation of
that taken by the moderate republican party.
As MM. Bordoux nnd Leon Suy declared at
'the liberal union banquet , no lasting alliance
is possible between the radicals and
moderate republicans for the simple
reason that both parties have entirely differ
ent , ends m view. There can bo no bond of
union between men who are opposed to the
separation of church and state , to the income
tax and to any revising of the constitution ,
and they who advocate them.
The opportunists , on the contrary , main
tain that differences in programme , no mut
ter how profound , nro of small account , pro
vided an agreement may tie made with tlio
radicals by which the respective candida
tures will not clash. M. Floquct's speech
bat consequently been treated with scant
courtesy by them , Inasmuch ns It seemed to
bo In llugrant contradiction with ideas which
have been expressed recently by Jules
Ferry. They nevertheless continue to up
hold the necessity of concentration between
the diverse groups of the republican party
for electoral purposes.
This attitude taken by the opportunists re
calls a scene In Mollere's "L'Avaro. " Llko
Muitre Jacques , they take a moderate repub
lican aside and whisper the ussuranco
that the moderates are on the
whole riirht. Then they try the effect
of blandishments on the radicals. "Wo take
it you are In favor of progress , " they say.
"What you dcsiro wo want also , only wo
must wait for the opportune moment. At
present the public docs not regard radicalism
with a favorable eye. The conservatives are
gaining thu upper hand. Lot us practice
moderation now , ns that is our best weapon
against both conservatives nnd Boulangiam ,
and afterwards wo shall hnvo ample oppor
tunity to give evidence of our radicalism , "
By their buttonholing one and another m
turn , the opportunists flutter themselves thai
thuy will be able to save the situation nnd
utilize the moderates without Irritating tlio
radicals. It In hardly probable thut these
tactics will satisfy tlio electors. Clour , con-
rise programme * uro expected by
the musses of the public , which
will not brook equivocal declarations
such us those which the oppoitunlsts
propose to nuiltc. That croup of republicans
out of which bus sprung thu radicals' utilor
have decided to mukb the moderates ant
conservative republicans form their elcctora
platform and give tholr support to no candi
dates except to those who openly avow them
selves opposed to radicalism.

An Important Decision Hy a Wyoming
tludc < .
CHETENNK , Wyo. , May 27. | Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] A very interesting de
cision has just boon rendered by Judge Corn ,
tf the third judicial district of Wyoming. It
boars on the right of dower. This right pre
vailed in Wyoming up to 1870 , when It was
abolished by an act of the legislature. The
Edmunds act was passed a year ago. It is
very comprehensive in its terms , and lu sev
eral of its sections alludes specifically to
Utah. Immediately upon Its becoming a
law , deeds and other legal Instruments re
quiring such change , were made to conform
with the supposed ruling of the Edmunds
law.
law.The question of whether section 18 ,
of the law referred to Wyoming ,
has never been considered In any
of the territories until It was brought before
Judge Corn by the suit of Amanda Franco ,
widow of the late Rawlins banker. The sec
tion alluded to reads as follows :
"A widow shall bo endowed of n third part
of nil lands whereof her husband was seized
of an estate of inheritance ut any tlmo during ;
the marriugo , unless she shall huvo lawfully
released her rights thereto. "
Judge Com holds that this section ot the
law applies only to Utah , aid : not the other
territories. The question will bo taken to
the supreme court. Its importance mav bo
discovered when it Is stated that It affects I
every transfer of real estate made by mar
ried men In every territory except Utah , the
concurrence of tbo wife In the deed and re-
ImquUhinent of bur dower not being neces
sary under tills decision.
