CHICAGO , August 20. [ Special Telegram
to Tim Ben. ] To-day was the date sot for
the trial of the alleged murderers of Dr.
Cronlm
By 9:30 : o'clock this morning Judge Mc-
Connell's court room was well filled with
spectators , lawyers nnd newspaper men.
The entrance to the court room was vigi
lantly guarded by deputy sheriffs , nod no
ono was allowed to oven pass the first guard
at the foot of the stairs unless ho or she
puvo n uood reason for wanting to be present
at thu trial.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the prisoners were
brought Into the court room carefully
puardud by eight deputies. The six men BUS
peeled of being impllc itcd in the murder of
Dr. Cronin ninrchod Into court headed by
Martin Burke. Woodiuff , Coughlln , Bogus
und O'Sulllvan followed , nnd Kunzo , the
young Gcnnnn , brought up the rear. Beggs
was represented by his atlorney , Mr. For
rest ; O'Sulllvan , by Donnhno & David ;
Coughltn , by Messrs. Forrest and Wing ;
Woodruff , by A. W. Brown ; Kunzo , by Don-
ahoo & David.
As soon as court was called Attorney Don
ahoo ruse to his foot and in ido a formal ap
plication for a scpirato trial for hU client ,
John Kunzo. In n short speech by the attor
ney ho said that while tCunze wus confined
in the county jail the stales nttoiiicy ciuno to
him nnd told him that if ho would toll what
ho know about Dan Coughlln nnd P. O'Sul-
ivan he would bo given his liberty , but that
ho ( Kunzo ) know nothing about the ca e.
Mr. Donolioo further said that he had no op
portunity to prepare a defense for his
client , because Judgp LongouecKor had not
given htm a list ot the witnesses who testi
fied before the grand jury which fouud tlio
indictment against his client.
"Until last Saturday I rccelvcd o Informa
tion regarding the evidence against this
man , " said the attorney. "Is it fair , then ,
that my client should bo tried before 1 have
an opportunity to prepare a defense ) "
Attorney Donahue had scarcely finished
speaking when Lawyer Wing uruso to his
feet and read u lengthy application setting
forth reasons why his client , Daniel Cough
lln , should have n separate trial. Mr. Wing
suid that his client declared tlmt ho could not
huvo n fair trial if tried with the other sus
pects und that he fouied tlio testimony ol
Woodruff , ns confessions had already
been very conflicting.
At this junction in the proceedings a slic-
nlficuiit Incident occui rod. Mr. Forrestj at
torney for Coughllu , tooK Mr. Kennedy , the
attorney for Mat tin Burke , to ono side , and
after a few minutes' conversation led him to
Dan Coughlln and introduced the two. After
shaking hands the throe men spent several
moments in conversation.
Mr. Whig briollv reviewed trie evidence
against his client , Coughlln , and made tbo
formal application , after which ho road un
affidavit signed by Coughl in stating th it he
had no knowledge of the Cronin murder ex
cept what he had gained from the newspa
pers. Ho said that ho bud nothing to do
with the movements of Martin Burke or
with the hiring of any rooms or collage , or
wlih the contract between O'Sulllvan and
Dr. Cronin , in short Coughlin denied every
thing with \yhicli ho was charged.
The next motion was for a separate trial
for O'Sulllvan , mndo by Mr. Donahoo. Ho
said that his client could not Imtfo a fair und
impartial trial if tried at the same time as
Frank Woodruff , for th t prisoner would
civo losilmony which would ba calculated to
injure the case of P. O'Sulllvan. Mr. Dona-
lioo briefly reviewed the several confessions
of Woodruff nnd gave reasons why O'Sulli-
van should have a scpai ate ti lal. When Mr ,
Donolioo bad concluded , his partner , Mr.
David , road an affidavit signed by Donahoo ,
giving his reasons for asking for a separate
trial , and declnring that it was not for the
purpose of delay that his motion was mndo ,
but because ho could not believe his client
could have a fair and Impartial hearlut ; 11
placed on trial with the olher men suspected
of murdoiliig Dr. Cronin ,
P. O'Sulllvan , in nn affidavit , denied all
the charges brought against him and saiil
that to the besi of his belief ho could not
have a fair and Impartial trial if tried wilh
the other defendants.
Senator Kennedy did not road his motion
for a separate trial for Martin Burke , but In
a short speech ho suld : "I will not read the
uQldavils of my client und myself , for the
simple reason thai I Jwunt to save time , am
I want to leave thorn for your honor lo read
nt your leisure. "
Mr. Kennedy was followed by tlio attorneys
tornoys for Beggs uiid Woodruff , who also
asked for separate trials.
Mr. Amos , attorney for Beggs , said that
his client wanted an immediate us well as a
separate trial.
"Your honor , " said States Attorney
Longonccker , rising to bis feet , "I am vori
much surprised nt these motions for separate
trials. I hud no time to prepare an answer
to these applications. I think I should luivo
at leust a week to look Into this in order to
prepare an answer to thnso motions. I confess
foss that I am taken by surprise. "
"You havo'bcou talking about being ready
for trial , " said Mr. Forrest , "now go ahead
Youc honor , continued Mr. Forrest , growing
warm , "I demand that this case go on.
want no moio delay. No sir , Mr. Longo-
ticckur's policy from the first 1ms beou ono o
tleluy and now bo wants another delay. Why
did be not give mo a list of the 100 witnesses
before Saturday ! It was for the purpose o
delay. Further , your honor , I want to say
that tlio state's attorney has ndvleoJ Martli
Hurko to dispense with the sorvicoi of Sana
tor Kennedy and thai he has told witnesses
that they must not tnlk to me , Mr. Forrest
bo attorney for the defense. "
Mr. Longonockor replied to Mr. Forrest uy
claiming that this was the first time that ho
had asked for a continuance.
'Fuithcnnoro , " said ho , "I ara sick , nnd
have not boon feeling well for several iluvs.
I desire a continuance for one weou If your
honor will permit It. "
"Your honor , " said Mr. Forrest , "If this Is
only a slight Indisposition on the part of Mr.
Longeneckor wo had better go on' , He will
bo bettor In twenty-four hours. No doubt
bo has un ublo corps ot assistants who , with
Mr. Mills nnd Mr.illnos.oan carry on the case.
I think it is only right that this trial should
go on. As I said before , it has been the pol
icy of the prosecution to make as much delay
as possible. Wo huvo all heunl that the stuto
was ready ; If it Is let thu trial go on. "
Mr , Brown , Woodruff's attorney , took
the floor us soon us Mr. Forrest had finished ,
and said that ho wanted It distinctly under
stood that ho would und did oppose all efforts
to have the case continued. "Wo want no
' deluy at all , und nro now ready to go to
trial , " he said. "It is for your honor to
decide whether this delay t > hall ba granted , "
"Your honor , " suld Mr. Longonecker ,
Dooming to wince under the cutting rouiurks
of Mr. Forrest , "I do not usk for u continu-
onro merely for the suka of u do-
delay , in the first pluce , I am
not piopixred to argue the motions for a sep
arata trial for ull six of the defendants. I
did think one or two of them intent make
such u motion , but In order to argue ull six
of the motions I would like to have some
time to prepare. Not being wel1,1 will not
be able to work for u few days , und for this
reason , und this only , I uak for a continuance
of nt least u wooU. "
For a few innmmits all was quiet In the
courtroom. Everybody loaned forward to
hour what , the Judge had to say , for the ut-
tornoys were evidently waiting for hu de
cision.
"I am not Inclined to oontlnuu this case , "
ho laid. "Iher * bas already bccu delay
enough , nnd as to the motions for separate
trials , I nm in favor of having them argued
I mtncdlatoly. Hut , on Ilia other hand , if Mr.
Longcncckor la not well , it Is hardly fair to
R 6 on with the caso. StlH.'I want to have
these motions nrgncd thin week , nnd ns Mr.
Uopgs , through his lawyer , demands an Im-
modlato trial , his case should also have seine
consideration. The motion of Attorney
Donahoo to the affect tlmt his client bo
given Information regarding the clwrees
against him and the Witnesses who will tes
tify against him , thus giving him an oppor
tunity to prepare n defense , should also bo
disposed of ns soon ns possible How would
it bo to argue those motions next Wednesday
nntl then bo prepared to go on with the trial
noxtMondivl"
Halt n dozen attorneys were on their foot
in n moment , all opposing the proposition.
Mr. Forrest was especially strong In his de
nunciation of granting a delay.
Mr. Longonccker oxprcsicd his satisfac
tion with the proposal and said ho meant to
get well In n day or so and bo ready to pro
ceed with the argument on Wednesday.
The opposition on the part of the defend
ants' attorneys was so decided , liowovcr ,
that Judge McConnell finally concluded that
ho would not continno the case any later
than Wednesday morning.

A Sliuhtly Deranged Old Gentleman
Separated From His Nursn.
NKW YOIIK , August 20. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BEE.I Chief of Police McKo.no ,
of Coney Island , telephoned to the Astor
house people this morning that ho had at
headquarters a well-dressed , gray-haired
gentleman ubout fifty-five years of ago , who
said ho was on Astor house truoat , and who
had been found astray there , unable to take
care of hlms'jlf , and that a largo amount of
mouoy and some valuable jewelry bad been
found on his person. The As tor liouso
people concluded that It was Colonel John
A. Willard , of Maulcato , Minn. , who had
boon staying there for the past two months.
The old gentleman was seen sitting on a
bench on Surf Avenue at West Brighton at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and acting so
strangely that u largo crcwd gathered
around him. Ho appeared to bo
sonar , but now and then would
bucst forth Into a torrent of Incoherent
words , of which the assembled multitude
could only catch "Lost. " The crowd # ot so
largo that it attracted tlio attention of an
o nicer. Hovalked up to the old man ana the
latter seemed glad to BOO him. Ha wont
along quietly enough and was soon in the
police station. From impels found on him it
seemed ho was Colonel John A. Willard. Ho
said that ho was fifty-seven years old. Chief
McKiuio questioned him closely and soon
found out that the man was not In his right
mind.
"Where do you llvol" asked the chief.
"Astor house , " replied Willard.
"What nro you doing down horol"
"I came down with my uurso. Ho Is
MIchael J. Folcy. Ho ran away from mo
after wo got down hero. "
Colonel Willard bad considerable money in
his pocket nnd were several diamonds. It is
not thought that Foley ran away , as Colonel
Willard stated , for ho came to Coney Island
police headquarters yesterday afternoon nnd
reported that Willard had been separated
from htm. At the Astor house little U
known of Colonel Willard except that ho U
presumed to bo wealthy and of fair family ,
Ho came to this city on Juno 20 and has bcci :
stopping at the Astor house over since. Ho
Is under medical treatment.

CHICAGO AND THE WORLD'S FAIR.

On Her 'Wny to Milwaukee.
CHICAGO , August 20. [ Special Tologr.un to
TUB BBC. ] Mrs. John. A. Logan was hero
to-day on her way to the Milwaukee G. A.
H. encampment , where sbo will ba the guest
of the department of Illinois. Stio wus ac
companied by General and Mrs. Algor. Tea
a reporter she said :
"I felt that I could not allow a slnglo
meeting of the G. A. U. J.O pass without sea-
ing it. You know that General Logan WAS
BO much of a Grand Army man , was so en
grossed with It and everything concerning It ,
and then I have so miny old tltuo
friends and acqualutinco * who n I shall see
there that I could not lot n slnglo year go by.
The veterans are growing fewer and fewer
every year. Doatu carries uway so many
from the tltno of ono encampment to the
next that I feel It a sort of sacra J duty to
sco everyyo&r whom are loftof an organiza
tion which possesses so many hallowed asso
ciations for mo. "
Mrs. Ligan has been an Interested ob
server of the struggle between Now York
and Chicago to secure the world's ' fair , "I
am of course most anxious , " she said , "tosco
the world's fair a success , and of course I am
entirely in favor of Chicago ns the place to
have it. If the promoters want to have it a
success they should not have a moment's
doubt about the matter. Chicago Is the only
city wliero a full and complete
measure of success is possible. While I was
abroad I visited and gave a good deal of at
tention to the Paris exposition and I will
say that , although I was impressed with the
magnificence of that gro it ontorprlso , nnd
while it must bo acknowledged that Purls is
a beautiful city , yet I urn firmly "convinced
that Chicago oilers more facilities for such an
exhibition and is bettor suited for it In every
wav than Paris. The hotel accommodations
are Infinitely superior hero to these of Paris.
Why , they have no idea over there of the
inug ilficont scale upon which wo cot up our
great hotels In America. But the variety nnd
magnificence of the exhibits In that Paris ex
position nro absolutely bewildering. Some
of these from the cast surpass In magnifi
cence any I over dreamed of , but I am sorry
to say that our American exhibition Is very
small , poor and insignificant. Our people
are spending imaicnso sums of money
over there and the promoters of the
scheme are affording them every opportunity
to do so , but they have not much of a repre
sentation in the exposition. In fact , I urn
sorry to say , I was almost ashamed of the
American section. The Edison exhibits and
tbo Tiffany jewelry exhibit are good ; in fact ,
what there Is is very good , but they are so
few and are in such a backward location that
there is not much attention paid to thorn. "
"How Is this state of things accounted
for ? "
Well , I think Mr. Cleveland was most unfortunate -
fortunate in his selcction'for the commission ,
and General W. U. Franklin , who is in
charge , Is wholly unfit for tbo positforr. Ho
hasn't th'o breadth of ideas nor the * business
training to qualify him for it , and the result
is that , so far .as the American section is
concerned , the thing Is almost a failure.
"Thero Is ono thing I want to point out
before I leave this subject , " said Mrs. Logan ,
' which may bo of some Interest to the people
plo who have the world's .fair project In
charge. The Paris exposition was originally
gotten up in the shape of a hugo lottery to
replenish the treasury of the French govern
ment , which was then in n bankrupt con
dition. In this it has been a most
wonderful success , for the govern
ment has cleared ' 83,000,000' francs
by the project. Americans should profit by
this. Tnoro are a great many rich people in
Franca and other European countries , but if
they are rich they know bow to hold on to
their wealth , They diffqr very much , from
Americans in this respect. Your European
millionaire spends his money by no
moans so lavishly as the American ,
nnd I thoicforo belle vo that it
Is a mistake to look forward
to an influx of European capitalists as a
great monatury benefit to this country or
any section of it. Instead of coming hero to
spend their money in v Impression is that they
will try to got over hero loaded down with
goods and carry our money back with them.

AsmAND , Wls. , Atlgust 20. Black Hart's
daring deads in the mountain passes of Cali
fornia were outdone to-day by iilono highway
man who hold up and robbed the stage that
ruus between Gogobio ( on the Milwaukee ,
Luke Shore & , Eastern railroad Just over the
line In Michigan ) and Gogobio lake , a sum
mer resort. As the stage was running along
at a lively gnlt through the dense forest ,
about two miles from tlio station , a man
jumped out In front of it and pointing
two big revolvers nt the driver com
manded him to. throw up his bands , at , the
sanio time extending the same order to the
four passengers Inside the coach , wltli the
further provision that they "shell out" their
loose valuables and currency. One of the
passengers wont down In his pookot , but In
stead of bringing up a pockotboolc ho took a
pistol out and began firing at the robber.
The ilosporado immediately returned tlio flro ,
nnd although the driver whipped his horses
into a gallop his aim was true. D. Maokcr-
char , a bookkeeper In tbo First Na
tional bank , of Minneapolis , received the first
bullet In his cheek , whllo the second wont
crashing through his log. Another passou-
gen named A. G. Flooschbaln , of Belleville ,
111. , was mortally wounded. Ho roio up la
the scat as the horses were whipped away ,
just In time to receive a bullet in the hip.
Ho fell forward and pitched over tlio side of
the coach into the load way. The horaes
continued to run and the wounded man was
loft to take his chances with the robbor.
The villain threatened nt first to kill him.
but finally desisted after securing $37 and
bis victim's watch nnd chain.
The wounded man lay bleeding in the reid
for three hours before any ono courageous
enough to go to bis succor was found.
The physicians suy ho will not live ever
night.
Mackorchar was taken to Basic river for
treatment and from there to his homo nt
Minneapolis. There uro grave doubts us to
his recovery also.
The two other passengers escaped un
hurt.
The description of the robber tallies with
that of the daring froo-bootor who went
through the Northwestern train near Ellis
Junction some time ago. A passe has gene

Notwithstanding the fact that Assistant

in tote the rumor to the oftcct that Minister
Fred Douglass Is not to bo sent to Haytl
after all , Mr. Douglass himself does uotitullc
in the most sanguine to no about bis futura
residence la tlio Island. In fact there so cms
to bo an undercurrent of antipathy towards
n residence In Huyti In the orator's tilk. Ha
is evidently not profoundly impressed with
the Idea of giving up his comfortable homo
In Washington , where he has everything ha
could ask , for a residence In the unhealthy ,
revolution-ridden republic.
There Is , perhaps , no doubt that Mr.
Douglass can go to Hayll If be desires to do
BO , but the position at present will Involve
extremely onerous duties upon the repre
sentative of tbo United States. In fact ,
although ho will without doubt bo the
youngest member of the diplomatic corps In
Port-nu-Prlnco In point of years of service ,
ho will bo called upon to do more hnrd work
than any of his colleagues , owing to the
desirability ot the extension of Amoriciu
influences and Amoilcan ideas over the

If Mr. Douglass decides to remain la

It Is understood that the sealed orders of
Admiral Gliorardi , ever which so much
mystery has baon made in the navy dcpirt-
ment , are far more important than at firac
appeared. It Is reported that the admiral
was Instructed to mildly favor tbo cause of
Hlppolyto rather than of Logitimn , and that
it was due in part to this that the latter con
cluded to abdicate his position as dictator
and to quietly leave the republic to Illpo- |
lyto and his army from the north. If this
report is true , nnd there Is reason to believe
that it is not , then the United States will
stand in the position toward the black re
public of a semi-political sponsor , nud
American Ideas and American influences
will have greater weight in liuyti than ever
before.
It was known to have been the oolicy of
Mr. Cleveland during the lust administra
tion to favor the cause of Hippolyto , but bo

"I have had no direct assurance from the I
president that he intends to call congress to

some talk on the subject which led mo to the-
belief that It Is the intention of the president
to issue n cull.
"What remark of the president gave you
this Impression 1"
"Wo were talking of the work to bo done
and General Harrison nxpiossod the opinion
that if congress should not meet until the

bo that the house would scarcely be organ
ized nnd ready for business until after the
middle of January. " '
"In the event of a call , what do you cxoscb

"I believe that It will bo between the 20th
of October and the end of the first week of
November. It will bo moru likely to be
nearer to the former than the latter dote , "
"Do you think that the death of Congress
man Laird and the consentient weakening of
the republican majority will have uuy effect
in changing the plans of the president ? "
"No. I do not untlclp ito that It will huvo
any bearing on the case. The call , If made ,
will not tuko effect before the result of the
elections in the now states are known , nnd
there Is every reason to believe the result of
thnso elections will increase the republican

easy organization of the house oven though
