CLANCY'S DRAMATIC TALE LEAGUEAND BROTHERHOOD BISMARCK'S PEACE PLAN NEW CABINET FOR BRAZIL Later Accounts of the Revolution- ary Movement. i LITTLE PROBABILITY OF WAR far, but she was balked at every point by Princeton, whose players were much the fresher and stronger. Princeton was the aggressor throughout and gradually raised her own score by some brilliant plays. The final score was 41 to 15 in the visitors' favor, the game being finished in the dark. At the close of the game the victors were carried from the field upon the shoulders of their friends.

He found the interior in the greatest confusion. The curtains were nailed fast and the intruders had boxed all the furniture, piano, books, paintings bedding, carpets and clothing, and had everything ready to clear out the whole establishment.

He testified as to certain differences between the testimony as given before the coroner's jury by the old man Carlson and Frank Scan-Ian, as compared with their evidence during the trial proper. Mr. Forrest then moved for the exclusion of the proceedings of Camp 20 on February 8th, which the court took under consideration, and the evidence of Captain O'Connor, concerning the same proceedings, which the court overruled.

The State's Attorney 4 We have not offered that record of the proceedings of Camp 20 in evidence, as far as I am aware. Mr. Foster (Attorney for Beggs 4 4 Well, if vou don't, I shall. Stenographer Squibb then testified to a number of contradictions in the testimony of Major Sampson before the coroner's jury and before the court. The next witness was Police Captain Shaack.

COLLEGE FOOT BALL GAMES Princeton Defeated Harvard After the Latter Seemed a Sure Winner Wesley-an Badly Beaten by Yale Results of Other Contests. Washington, Nov.

16. Walter F. Hewitt, president of the Washington base ball club, returned to-day from the New York League meeting, and in an interview expressed himself as being highly pleased with the results of the meeting and the policy to be pursued by the League. He said the weaker clubs of the organization, which had heretofore been in the minority, and had consequently little influence at League meetings, were enabled, because of the attitude taken by the Brotherhood towards the League, to demand what had been religiously refused them an increase in the percentage of visiting clubs of from 25 to 40 per cent. The meeting was the most harmonious he had ever attended, and the disposition and aim of the delegates was to strengthen the weaker clubs and all united in the fight against the Brotherhood.

So far as the Washington club is concerned, he said it was in better condition to-day than it ever has been since its admittance into the League. He was asked 4 4 Is it the purpose of the League to maintain ten clubs, with the accession of Brooklyn and Cincinnati 4 4 Yes, he responded, 4 4 and I wish to state emphatically that both the Washington and Indianapolis clubs are in the League to stay. Id reply to the question as to why the League adopted the resolution providing: that no club shall sign a player before February 1st, he explained that it was done for the purpose of killing competition among the clubs, and also to abolish the system of paying exorbitant sums of money for releases. It does not mean, however, that negotiations cannot be entered into with a player or club before that date. Speaking of the Brotherhood Mr.

Hewitt said he believed its objects and policy were impracticable that the League did not fear them, and were confident of their ultimate disruption. He did not believe two-thirds of the League players would sign Brotherhood contracts. He had seen contracts between the League and plavers for the season of 1890, and some of them were reputed to be Brotherhood men. Clubs and Players. New York, Nov.

1 6. Mike Kelly was asked to-day whether he was going to sign with the Boston League club. He replied 4 Do you suppose I want to die Do you think I want to be caught in Boston some dark night by some of the Knights of Labor fellows and disappear suddenly? Oh, no; I'll have no Dr. Cronin in mine. I have signed a Brotherhood agreement, and with the Brotherhood I'll stand, win or lose.

Sam Wise, of the Washingtons, to-day signed with the Buffalo Players' club, and E. J. Delehanty has signed a similar contract in Phdadelphia. The Kansas City club is desirous of selling some of its players, and has filed a schedule with President Young, of the League, giving the prices at which it is willing to sell. Hamilton and Long are each down at $6, -000.

Baltimore, Nov. 16. Manager Barnie returned to Baltimore to-day. He says the Baltimore base ball club is in the Association only because it is obliged to be, and it will endeavor to enter the League. FOOT BALL.

Princeton Defeats Harvard in a Contested Game. Hotly Boston, Nov. 16. Never in the history of college athletics has such a vast assemblage attended a contest in Cambridge as that of to-day to witness the game between the Harvard and Princeton elevens on Jar-vis Field. Every seat was taken long before play was called, and a mass of struggling humanity from fifteen to twenty deep entirely encircled the field outside of the ropes.

The respective teams were greeted with deafening cheers as they came on the grounds for preliminary practice. It was a perfect foot -ball day, the ground was hard and firm, and a faint northwest wind blew diagonally across the field. Fully 10,000 people were sitting or standing about the field when the two elevens appeared. The Princeton men looked confident, and the supporters of the crimson had an earnest feeling that, whatever the outcome, their eleven would make a hard and game fight. The teams lined up as follows Harvard Cumnock, left end Upton, left tackle Cranston, left guard Tilton, center Trafford, right guard; Stickney, right tackle Crosby, right end Dean, quarterback; Lee, left half-back Saxe, right halfback B.

Trafford, full-back. Average weight of team, 165 pounds. Average weight of rush-line, 168 pounds. Princeton Warren, right end Cash, right tackle: Riggs, right guard George, center; Janeway, left guard Cowan, left tackle Donnelly, left end Poe, quarter -back Black, right half-back Channing, left halfback Ames, full-back. Average weight of team, 164 pounds.

Average weight of rush-line, 172 pounds. Harvard started with a rush and carried, the ball into Princeton's territory. After rushing up and down the center of the field Poe got the ball and carried it into Harvard's grounds. Poe, in making a pass, fumbled the ball, and Crosby, of Harvard, captured it, making one of the prettiest runs ever seen on Jarvis Field. He carried tho ball more than two-thirds the length of the field with the fleetest runners of both teams in hot pursuit, and succeeded in making a touch-down, from which Trafford failed to kick a goal.

At this point Warren of Princeton was disqualified for rough playing. I'rinceton now forced matters tor a time, getting the ball near Harvard's goal line. Channing captured it and made a touch down, Ames failing to kick a goal. Har vard again got an advantage and assumed a peculiar mode of playing, being satisfied with forcing the ball down the field inch by inch. I'rinceton finally got the ball in front of Harvard's goal and Ames was enabled to kick the goal from the field.

Harvard pur sued the same style of play for the rest of the first half, and succeeded in making an other touch-down. In th's half Harvard's playing was far superior to that of Princeton She seemed a sure winner, and when the first half closed with the score 15 vo 10 in her favor the adherents of the crimson shouted themselves hoarse. In the last half Harvard essayed the same line of play that had proved successful so A Newspaper Man Testifies in the Cronin Case. HE SPENT TEN YEARS IN JAIL Reminiscences That Caused a Sensation in the Court Room Several Witnesses for the Defense More About the White Horse. Chicago, Nov.

16. There was a great crowd at the opening of the court for the resumption of the Cronin trial this morning. The first witness was James Clancy, correspondent of the New York Herald, who testified on behalf of the prosecution. He said he was sent here by the IL-rald in May to investigate the Cronin case. He called at O' Sullivan's house on the morning of the day that Cronin 's body was discovered, but before the discovery had been made.

The witness continued I asked him if he knew Cronin. He told me that he had known him for five years, or about five years, and that he had met him at a political meeting in the Seventeenth ward. I asked him what he thought of the disappearance of Dr. Cronin. He said, to the best of my recollection, that he would turn up some time furthermore, that he did not believe he had been murdered.

1 asked him about the contract he had made with Dr. Cromn. He said, in reference to that contract, that he had been introduced personally to Dr. Cronin a few weeks before that time by Judge Mahoney. I asked him why he made the contract.

He said because accidents had happened, and then said something about wishing to have a physician to attend to anything of the kind that might occur in the future. The conversation was general about Dr. Cronin, and when I stood up to go I asked him again what he thought of the doctor's disappearance, and once more he said he would turn up somewhere all right, that he did not believe he was murdered. I then left. 4 I called late In the evening of the same day, after hearing that the body had been found.

I asked him if he had heard the news. He said 4 No. Then there was a pause. Then he said: 'I heard when I was down town that a body was discovered in the lake this morning, but it has not been identified. "We were both standing at this time.

I said 'I heard nothing about that. I paused and then said, 'Mr. O' Sullivan, the body of Dr. Cronin has been found. He turned pale.

He said What 1 the body Dr. Cronin found Is it true? I said: 'Of course, I don't know for certain I heard it was discovered in the catch -basin and is lying at the police station about a mile from here I have a cab at the door, will you accompany me and identify the body at the morgue He shook and sank into his chair and said: 'No, I couldn't go. I could not identify him. It would be useless for me to go. "I said: 'Mr.

O' Sullivan, you told me this morning you knew Dr. Cronin well. It is only a short distance, coirie along and identify the body. It may not be Dr. Cronin body let U3 make sure.

He said 4 No, I could not go if 1 met him in, the street I might know him, bnt I could not identify his body. (In giving the answers made to him by O' Sullivan the witness's voice was in a continual tremor, and the scene was a dramatic one. 4 I said That is strange. I urged him again and he made an effort to move out of his chair into which he had sunk when I first broke the news to him. Mr.

Donohue Did you say he moved the chair at the No, I did not, it seemed to me that he tried to rise out of the chair into which he had sunk. States Attorney 4 Go ahead. I said I would try to get Judge Ma honey to identify him. I said 4 What is hi3 address i 4 4 He seemed to try to recollect, then gave me tne wrong aaaress. tie caneu Mrs.

halen into the room and asked ner the judge's address. 4 He had given you the judge address already in the scorning, had he 4 4 Yes I said so to him, and then made a final effort to induce him to come and identify the body. He said 4 No, I could not identify it it is useless for me to go. Then I left. The cross-examination of the witness then began.

It was directed to eliciting details of the witness's life from the time of his birth, up through a varied journalistic career in London, Paris and elsewhere. Then counsel asked: 4 What were you doing in 1878 4 4 1 was in prison in 1878. 4 4 In prison 4 4 Yes, sir' (firmly. 4 4 What for?" 4 4 For my connection with what was known as the Fenian conspiracy. 4 Were you a Fenian at that time 4 4 No, sir.

(Sensation. 4 4 What were you convicted 4 4 For implication in the Fenian conspiracy, as it was called.

4 Were you convicted of conspiracy 4 No, sir. The interest at this point of the examina tion had become intense. Tho witness next answer, in reply to the question put by the counsel, 4 4 what were you indicted for caused a hum of excitement around the court room. 4 4 For two attempts to murder Mr. Donohoe, with a gratified smile, was about to put his next question, when the witness auaeu tne words 4 A policeman and I was arrested.

The smile died away on Mr. Donohoe 's lips and ho cnanged the tenor of his examination. The witness made a long explana tion regarding the crime for which he was comicted and sentenced for life, and said he shot the policeman in a tustle at the time he was arrested. His friends succeeded in getting him free on a ticket of leave. The defense moved that in the testimony of Coughlin, uiUvan and Kunze, all evi dence respecting what the prosecution called "Camp 20 conspiracy" be stricken from tne recora.

The court overruled the motion and the defense then asked that the pages of the United Brotherhood record, being minutes of the proceedings of Camp 20 ou the night of February fcth, be excluded. The court said he would rule on the motion later. Mr. Forrest then moved that a lot more testimony relating to Camp 20 be excluded, but all his motions were overruled. The first witness for the defense was Frederick S.

THERE MAY BE A COLLAPSE Austria Not Altogether Pleased With the Bargains Made Bulgaria Surrendered to Russia's Fostering Care General Old World News. Copyright, 1S89, by the N. Associated Press Berlin, Nov.

16. The developments of Prince Bismarck's diplomacy promise to result in permanent accord between Austria and Russia. The Czar's visit to Berlin, Count Kalnoky 's visit to Fredrichsrule, Emperor William's visit to Monza and Constantinople, and finally, the conference between Emperor William and Francis Joseph at Innsbruck, have been successive sta.j;e of a continuous policy leadiug toward a settlement. The Bismarck scheme restores Russia's dominance in Bulgaria, Russia in return recognizing as definitive Austria's possession of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since this proposal was communicated to Premier Crispi, the latter has intimated to Prince Bismarck that the sanction of Italy might depend upon the cession of Trentino by Austria.

"When Count Kalnoky left Friedrichsruhe nothing was settled. Ihe Austrian minister held that the sacrifice of Trentino was impossible. He considered the possession of Bosnia as already definitive, as it could only be abandoned after a crush-ingdefeat. The Innsbruck interview brought thenegotiationsto a climax. Emperor Francis Joseph consented to leave Prince Ferdinand to his fate and said he would not oppose a Russian candidate, provided he was elected under the conditions of the Berlin treaty.

He practically accorded the Czar a free hand in Bulgaria short of Russian occupation. He declined to consider the question of Trentino. The Porter is ready, as soon as it learns that Austria and Russia have accepted Prince Bismirck's mediation, to send a circular letter to the signatory powers denouncing the illegality of the present government of Bulgaria. Signor Crispi, the Italian premier, is expected here next week. The Italian press demand Trentino as the price of Italy's adhesion.

Prince Bismarck's re -entree into the Reichstag, it is reported, will be postponed until he is able to raise the curtain and disclose the situation. The foreign office is entirely sanguine that the Chancellor will soon be in a position to describe the success of his diplomacy and pay a tribute to the wisdom and energy of the Kaiser. Count Kalnoky submitted to Prince Bismarck with reluctance. A singular expression of discontent appears in the I'estiter Lloyd, the recognized organ of both the Vienna foreign office and the Hungarian ministry. This journal calls the pending arrangement an enforced, rotten compromise, which may prove worse than an enforced war.

The article concludes with the hope that the German policy will not turn out a Machiavellian policy, and that the issue of the imperial meeting at Innsbruck will simply give renewed sanction to the status quo. Before going to Innsbruck Emperor Francis Joseph, after consulting with Count Kalnoky took, the advice of the veteran statesman Count Andrassy. If Kalnoky keeps faith with Bismarck the attitude of the Vienna Cabinet toward Bulgaria must change. The divergence between the Berlin and Vienna policies has recently became marked. JJThe Bulgarian agent at Vienna has been semi-ofticially recognized, the Landerbauk has negotiated the new Bulgarian loan, and the Austrian consul at Sofia is the confidant and adviser of Prince Ferdinand.

The German consul, on the other hand, did not even salute Ferdinand on meeting him in the street, and completely ignores him as the head of the government. Panama Canal Committee. Paris, Nov. 16. The committee of five engineers appointed to report on the Panama canal will sail for the Isthmus December 20th.

They are MM.Germain,Chatert Lagcot, Duchatenet and Cousin, all Frenchmen with the exception of the last named, who is a Belgian and selected for the mission by M. Brunet, liquadator of the company. These gentlemen have been charged to conceal no unfavorable facts, and not to underrate anything that is of a hopeful nature. If they find the canal to be an impracticable undertaking, they will decree the loss of 50, 000, 000 or 60, 000, 000 pounds sterling of French moDey. If, on the other hand, they say the work ought to be preservered in, they will have perhaps added further to the responsibility of their position.

They Must Have Our Meat. Berlin, Nov. 16. The swine disease of the foot and mouth in the neighborhood of Berlin and in the provinces of Brandenburg and Silesia shows no signs of yielding to the exceedingly stringent measures thut have been taken against it by the German authorities, but the new enterprise of importing swine from Prance and swine and oxen from the United States has proved very advantageous to sellers and buyers. These imports have already begun to reduce prices here, besides yielding a good profit to the exporters.

Y. Nov. 16. A foot ball match was played here to-day under the auspices of the Buffalo Athletic Club between Cornell and the University of Michigan. Howard Wheeler, of Buffalo, acted as referee.

The Cornell men had a very easy thing of it with the Michigan boys, and rubbed defea. into them very deeply. Cornell shout3 were frequent on the field of battle, while it was only now and then that the handful of Ann Arbor boys responded with their long drawn out yell. The white and red of Cornell were to be seen much more frequently than the blue and maize of Michigan. From the start, Cornell plowed all around Michigan, and it was evidently no match.

Not once during the gamo did the Michigan men get the leather within the twenty-five yard line of Cornell, while the playing was almost ali confined to the Michigan field. The rush-line of the Michigan University averaged eight pounds heavier than the Cornell rush -line. Cornell's chief advantage seemed to lie in better team work and guarding. The Michigan boys labored under the disadvantage incident to a lack of practice. As this team was selected only Friday night, they could not have been expected to work well together.

For Cornel', Osgood, left half-back Car-olin, right haif-back, and Apton, left tackle, played the best games while Van Luwagen, right end Macl'herran, right half-back, and Abbott, left half-back, carried off the honors for Michigan. Two three-quarter-hour matches were played, resulting Cornell 66 Michigan 0. Yale vs. Wesleyan. Springfield, Nov.

16. Yale defeated Wesleyan 52 to 0, on Hampden Park this afternoon in a championship game. The work of the Yale team was very loose, the crippled condition of their opponents alone preventing touch-downs being scored against them. The Yale men were largely substitutes. Gill, Stagg, Rhodes, Ferris, Mc- Bride and Hartwell being absent.

It was evident they intended to give the public no basis for comparison with Harvard's work here a week ago. Their game consisted in short rushing through the heart of the Wesleyan line and an occasional point. The Wresleyans were weakened by the absence of Captain Mc Donald, Cleaver, Brown and Crane. The fumbling of the Yale backs was sad to witness. Slayback made several brilliant runs into Yale's soil, where the ball was kept a quarter of the time.

S. Morrison did the best work for Yale. Williams made the longest run, scoring a touch-down from the center of the field, and Newell and Heffel-finger did some excellent blocking. Summary Touch-downs, S. Morrison 4, Newell 2, Heffelfinger 2, Hey worth 1, Williams 1.

MRS. PARNELL IN POVERTY. Distressed Condition of the Mother of the Great Irish Leader. New York, Nov. 16.

A dispatch from Bordentown, N. J. says that while Charles S. Parnell is fighting Ireland's enemies in England, his ill and infirm mother is fighting starvation in New Jersey. Mrs.

Parnell is alone, penniless, aud actually destitute of the necessities of life. She has now httle more than a roof to shelter her. Unless something is done for her relief, she will not have that two weeks hence. Of the great estate which Mrs. Parnell inherited from her father.

Commodore Stewart, years ago, there is nothing left but Ironsides, a farm of 300 acres near here, and some property in Philadelphia. All the rest and all Cf Mrs. Parnell's personal means have been swallowed up in unlucky investments and by injudicious generosity. Ironsides is eucumbered with a mortgage of $8, 000. The Philadelphia property is in litigation.

The taxes on Ironsides have been due for several months, and if they are not payed by December 1st, the place wiil be sold. The Mutual Life lusur-auce Company of New York, which holds the mortgage, has also given notice that if the interest is not paid it will foreclose. If this is done Mrs. Parnell will have absolutely no place of shelter, except in the house of a friend. io save her home she must raise $503 in the next two weeks.

Not only is she without a dollar to her name, but she is without food and sufficient clothing. New York, Nov. 10. Scanlan. tho actor, will arrange a benefit performance for Mrs.

Another dispatch says the question as to nature of the future government will be submitted to a plebiscite. Lisbon, Nov. 16. The Xeicspaper Com-mercio Portuguese has received the following, i dated at Rio de Janeiro November 15th, 4:50 P.

M. 4 4 Senhor Constant, Senhor Bocayura and General Da Fonseca virtually constitute tha government. General Da Fonseca is tha actual leader. Troops have started to capture the Emperor and his family. The populace is dazed.

Hopes are entertained that enough troop3 will remain loyal to overcome the rebels. The new Brazilian government has issued a manifesto announcing that the monarchy has been abolished. Various provinces have sent assurances of support to the new regime. The former prime minister hag been arrested. The Emperor will be treated with the greatest consideration.

A Military Affair. New York, Nov. 16. A Washington special to the Post says 4 4 From gentle- men intimately acquainted with Brazilian politics, it is learned that the revolution ii purely military. The force in Rio is about 6,000.

There are not more than 10, 00D in addition and they are scattered over the empire. General Fonseca, who is at the head of the revolution, was accused of in- subordination last July, and the minisber of war proposed to have him court-martialed, but the Emperor forbade it. If the whola force in Rio are of one mind things can ba carried with a high hand. No financial trouble exists. The August elections wera peaceable.

The coup de main may affect the status of the Brazilian delegates to tha Fan -American Congress. The Revolt in Venezuela. Washington. Nov. 16.

A letter from; the capital of Venezuela gives the details of the revolt which occurred October 26th. The statues of General Guzman Blanco were demolishea, mostly by the youth of Caracas, headed by students. They began with the equestrian effigy of the great man be- fore the university, and proceeded thenca to the Calvario, where the other monument! of Guzman's pride was tumbled from ita pedestal. Another party went to do tha same with the statue of the General's father, which was dragged down to the river and thrown into the water. The head of Guzman's statue from, the Calvario, as well as other pieces, was dragged through tha streets amid the shouts of the people.

Tha government did nothing to disturb the per petrators. One party went to Guzman es tate in the east of the city, called 4 4 Lacua-dras, which was invaded and badly used. The house was broken into, the furniture was broken into pieces, etc. Nearly at the same hour the statues of Guzman in other towns of Venezuela wera likewise thrown down, which proves that the outbreak was the consequence of a pre-meditated and organized conspiracy. In Caracas all the marble slabs on public buildings which bore Guzman's name wera broken.

His portraits were taken down from the public offices and smashed into pieces, and even one in the museum. In one word it was a crusade against every- thing directly connected with Guzman. The president, De Rojas, did not hold a public reception on the 28th of Octobtr, the saint day of Simon Bolivar. It was said he was ill, but it is more probable ba avoided the necessity of being obliged to speak in public under the circumstances. The next day he published a proclamation, in which he said the authorities could not have foreseen what had happened, and that they had been unable to prevent it, as tho thing had been done too quickly.

He added that he, as the first magistrate of the republic, was not the person to say how much there was of justice in the demonstration, but he considered it as an irrevocable judgment of the people to which the government had to bow in silence. He wrote, however, the same day a decree, signed by all the ministers, that the statute of old Guzman should be replaced as so6u as possible by another one. This decree has prodnced considerable disgust anr from it may spring forth a dissension having ugly consequences. Guzman's estates at Ouayavita and Chuao were fired. Guzman Blanco is now minister to France, but he will probably be recalled.

A I 1 1 3.1. Venezeula to the International American Congress, received his appointment as minister to the United States by the last steamer. By the same steamer he also received the head of one of the bronze statues of Guzman Blanco, all of which were overthrown by the people of that country. Miners Frozen to Death.

New York, Nov. 16. Governor Francis and Colonel C. II. Jones, who are here in the interest of the "World's Fair movement in St.

Louis, desire to correct through the Associated Press the report sent out from St. Louis last night that they are arranging a deal or combination with New York against Chicago. Colonel Jones says "We have no authority to make any such deal, even if there were a disposition to do so. We came east under instructions from our World's Fair committee to open a World's Fair headquarters in Washington. We came to New York on our way to Washington with two objects in view first, to find out precisely what progress New York is making in her preparations for appearing before Congress and second, to com ince the people of New York and the East generally that St.

Louis is in the race to win and that the prominence I given to Chicago as compared with St. Louis is not justified by the facts of tho situation. The people of St. Louis and the Southwest feel great friendliness for New York, and Governor Francis and I have discovered during our visit there, what was pretty well understood before, that the public men and journalists of New York are ready to concede that the competition of St. Louis for the orld Fair has been conducted in a dignified and decorous way.

If we have convinced the people here that iu spite of the fact that there has been no great amount of brass band enthusiasm and spectacular glamour about the St. Louis campaign, that city is really in earnest in her efforts to secure the fair, and will probably muster in Congress as strong a support as any other of the four competing cities, we will have accomplished the object, and the only object, with which we came to New York. "I find. said Colonel Jones, in conclusion, that New York is so confident of her own success as to feel no need of alliances or combinations. She is satisfied to submit her claim on its merits, and St.

Louis, as the central city of the great West, is equally confident of success on the same basis, namely, the basis of merit and the countrv's advantage. ATROCITIES OF MORMON ISM. Further Revelations of the Horrors cf the ndowment House. Salt Lake Citt, Utah, Nov. 1 6.

The excitement over the Endowment House expose continues. Mormons and Gentile3 alike are on the tip-toe of expectancy as to what the decision of the judge will be when the case is finally submitted. The Gentiles will close their side of the case to-day, and the Mormons will have an opportunity to put in evidence on their side. On the decision depends the right in future of any Mormon to become a citizen of the United States. Those who are already citizens will not be affected, but Congress will be asked, in view of the disclosures made, to enact a law completely disfranchising the entire sect.

The court room was crowded yesterday, prominent business and professional men deserting their daily avocations to listen to the evidence. Many ladies were present and the Mormon Church was well represented. The day was principally taken up by the Gentile attorneys reading extracts from the official publications of the church. Joseph Seaver and Levi Axtell, two apostates, testified to the treasonable character of the Endowment house oaths and Seaver described the garment worn by all good Mormons. It consists of an undergarment, which is a tight fit of white cotton cloth with strings attached where buttons would ordinarily be.

There is a slit across the spot covering the heart, another slit across the abdomen and one cut on each knee. The slit across the heart is to remind the wearer that if he divulges any of the oaths or secrets, or apostatizes, he is to have his heart cut out, and the gash across the abdomen is a reminder that disembow-elment will follow a divulgence. The applicants for endowment honors are also annointed with oil and various parts of the body when so anointed were particularly prayed for. To-day Wilford Woodruff's prayer at the dedication of St. George Temple, denouncing the United States government and prophesying its destruction, was introduced: also Orson Pratt sermon, declaring the kingdom of God the only legal government on earth, and all others unauthorized, was introduced, and the case was rested.

The defense introduced Apostle John Henry Smith, who swore that no disloyal oaths had been administered. The injunction to avenge the blood of the prophets was general, and did not apply to oseph and Hiram Smith more than to others. When pressed on the throat cutting and disemboweling penalties, he refused to answer, When he claimed obedience to tiie laws, he was asked if he had obeyed the law against polygamy. He declined to answer. Elder Clark, also for the defense, did not remember anything bad in the endowment oaths, or declined to answer.

Court adjourned until Monday. Black Bart Sentenced. Bessemer, Nov. 16. The Holtzhay case was completed this morning.

The jury went out at 9 :30 o'clock and returned at 10:15 with a verdict of guilty. Holtzhay was then sentenced for life at hard labor. The prisoner broke down and seemed dazed when the foreman of the jury announced the verdict. Kalakaua Going to Europe. New York, Nov.

He said it was raining at the time, and when the horse's hair became wet it changed from a white to a dun color. The court then adjourned till Monday. Plan of the Defense. New York, Nov. 16.

A Chicago dis patch says the outline of defense in the Cronin case is as follows First Cronin was not killed as per the statement of the indictment. Dr. Egbert, a medical witness for the state, swore the wounds were not sufficient to cause death. Other experts will be called to prove the same. Second Dinan's white horse was not recognized by Mrs.

Conklin. Veterinary surgeons will be called with expert horsemen to swear the horse could not have been recognized by Mrs. Conklin. Third A South Halstead woman will swear she was out riding behind the horse at the time it is said Cronin was driven away. The man who drove the horse may be pro duced.

Fourth Beggs and another camp No. 20 man will deny the conspiracy story and also the appointment of a secret committee. Fifth The blood in the Carlson cottage was that of an ox and not of a man and expert testimony will be called to prove it. Sixth The claim will be set up that the Carlson family painted the floor to draw a crowd and make money. Seventh It will be claimed the identifi cation of the bloody trunk as being the one sold by Revell to B.

Simonds was an absurdity, and that there are a dozen trunks like it in Chicago. Eighth Efforts will be made to show that the wagon said to have contained the trunk could not have gone over the route said to have been' traversed in the time claimed that the testimony of the police officers who swore they saw the wagon is unreliable that the wagon could not have crossed the railroad at Fullerton avenue, at the time named, as the crossing is west of the cottage and the catch basin where the body was found is east. Ninth Icemen Sullivan and Kunze will go on the stand, and some of the whisky trust people will also testify as to the connection of Coughlin and Kunze with the explosion at the Lynch distillery. Kunze will swear he changed his name and residence because he was shadowed by parties em ployed to do so, on the supposition that he had something to do with the explosion. Sullivan will attend to his alibi.

Tenth Mrs. Hoertel's character will be attacked and police court records produced showing how she had been arrested for larceny. Eleventh Alibis will be set up for all suspects, save Beggs. A motion may be made for the discharge of Beggs, which will be resisted by the state. Judge Longenecker thinks his case ought to go to the jury along with the others, and he is determined that it shall.

IT WAS A DEATH-TRAP. Terrible Mangling of a Brakeman Whose Foot Caught in a Frog. Paterson, N. J. Nov.

16. George Pam- phrey, a brakeman on the New York, Sus quehanna estern railroad, was killed in the yard here to-day. Pamphrey was employed on a freight train and was endeavoring to loosen the coupling of the rear car, when his foot caught in a frog and he was unable to extricate himself. The engineer could not see him, and continued to back the train slowly. Pamphrey called loudly for heip.

but in an instant he was knocked down and the ponderous wheels of a heavy car con taining ten tons of coal passed over ins body, dragging it from the frog and carrying it a distance of ten feet. The accident was witnessed by the section foreman and two or thref other employes of the road, who were in the vicinity, but it was impossible for them to attract the attention of the engineer in time to avert the accident. One of the unfortunate brake-man's arms was almost severed and his head was horribly smashed. The wheels passed through the center of the body, cutting one leg loose and revealing the intestines. The foot that had been caught in the frog was broken and the shoe torn off.

The brakeman was married but three months ago and his death occurred almost in view of his home, where the young wife was preparing his noonday meal. One of the workmen volunteered to inferm her of the fate of her husband, but when he reached the little home could not do so, and requested a neighbor to break the news. Pamphrey was 30 years of age and an excellent workman. "Dick" Short's Head Cut. New York, Nov.

16. 4 4 Dick" Short, who stabbed Captain Phelan twelve times in O'Donovan Rossa's office in 1884, was found in front of Sweeney's Hotel to-night with a bad cut on his forehead. He was taken to the hospital. It is reported he was thrown out of the hotel by some unknown person. Short's injuries are not considered serious.

It is said Short met his injuries in an encounter with some opposing Irishman in or near Sweeney 's Hotel. Rumor has it that the attack was due to his recent testimony against O'Donovan Rossa in the proceedings in which Rossa was a complainant against Patrick Sarsfield Cassidy. Blackmailing Aldermen.
