8 THE CITY IN BRIEF Cool Weather Attracts Many Strangers to Chicago. J. C. M'GOWAN DROWNED Trolley Accident on "West Side Ends in a Fatality. Thousands at he New Library Edward Feldman Killed In General.

MAST STRANGERS IX THE PARKS. EiraraloaUta from aadftaaa Eajoy Chlrasro'a Cool Weather. COL weather and plenty of wind were Yesterday's chief char- QJ ThY--l ecteristlcs. The max imum temperature was 61 degrees at 10 o'clock in the After that hour the mercury dropped slowly but steadily, reaching 03 degrees at 9 o'clock at night. A light frost early this morning was predicted by the weather bureau.

Throughout the day a cool wind blew at a rate varying from twenty to thirty miles an hour. In the forenoon It wis from the northeast and in the afternoon it shifted to the northwest. It made the lake very rough. The town was filled with Hoosiers. Thousands of persons took advantage of the low excursion rates offered by railroads running through Indiana.

They began to arrive here as early as 7 o'clock in the morning and the number increased with the Incoming trains. Whole families, from babes to grandparents, came and were well supplied with provisions In baskets. The number of sweethearts could not be estimated, although it was generally easy to identify them. One noticeable fact was that they did not carry lunch baskets. They seemed so full of happiness that they had no use for sandwiches, pie, and pickles.

Seemingly with one accord, the excursionists made straight for Lincoln park and stayed there all day. or until the time for departure of their trains. The animals secured the greatest attention to the strangers, who constantly crowded around the bear pit, the cages of the lions and tigers, and the yards of the buffalo, elk. and deer. The animals would have enjoyed the day more If It had been about twenty degrees warmer.

The baby Hons huddled together In one corner of the cage, thinking that was an easier way to keep warm than by pacing around the cage at a Star Pointer gait, as the big Bengal tiger did. As their house is kept at the same temperature winter and summer, the monkeys did not care whether the mercury outside was high or low, and they cut up all their capers for the benefit of the visiting Hoosiers. "We do not want to move the animals from their summer cages until the anlmal-houie has been repainted," said Keeper De Vry yesterday. "The contract for the painting will be let next Wednesday, and the work pushed as rapidly as possible. We want to (have the animals out of doors as long as possible, but if it gets much colder they must come in.

We may have several weeks more, though, of pleasant weather, and If we do the animals will stay out of doors, as It Is better for their health, and the public prefers to have them there." JOHN C. M'GOWAX DROWSED. John C. McGowan, colored, was drowned early yesterdsy morning at the Dearborn street bridge. A few minutes after 1 o'clock McGowan walked into the draw, which had been opened for the passage of a vessel.

He evidently had not seen that the draw was open. His fall into the river was witnessed by several persons, and Officer Burke of the Central de-tali went at once to the rescue. With the aid of a grappling hook he drew the man to the pier, but he was dead. The body was taken to RoUton's morgue, at No. 22 Adams street.

George Vincent Bailey of the Field Columbian museum was recalled for crose-exatnlna-tion. He was severely questioned by Judge Vincent as to the distinction between sesamoid bones in man and tbe lower animals. He remained positive In his opinion that, takeu with other bones shown, tbe sesamoid Introduced by tbe state waa from a human body. John E. Fowler.

one of the Jurors, wa taken sick, and when court reconveneiTTor tbe afternoon session a recess was taken to Wednesday morning. daeaday, Sept. IS. Dr Bailey again took the stand for cross-examination by Judge Vincent. The lawyer for tbe defense tried to break down the testimony of tbe witness regarding the bone sworn to be from a human toe, and the portion of what be believed to be a portion of a human rib.

The testimony of the witness waa strengthened rather tban weakened by the terrifli cross fire of tbe opposing lawyer. Inapertor Michael J. 8chaack waa called to the stand and testified regarding the finding ef hair, bones, two gold rings, and numerous other articles which the state Introdwced as evidence at the Luetgert factory. In the toss-examination of the Inspector by Attorney Pbalen an attack waa made upon the police for giving money to witnesses In the case. The court restricted this line of cross-examination.

In reply to questlona from Mr. Pbalen Inspector Schaack strongly denied that the poHce tver threatened Mary Slemering It she did not give testimony favorable to the atate. Tharsday, Sept. 1. Dr.

George A. Dorsey, assistant curator of anthropology at the Field Columbian museum. testified regarding the Identity of the different bones Introduced by the state He s11 In his opinion the temporal bone ahown in court waa the left temporal bone of a woman. He also stated that he believed the sesamoid bone was from a human foot the external sesamoid of the big toe. Regarding the piece of rib.

the witness said he would have to compare it before expressing a definite opinion, lie believed It to be tbe end of a human rib. Considering Uie exhibits shown, taken to-geiher. tit witness came to the conclusion that they came from one Individual. Dr Nerval II Pierce corroborated the testimony of Dorsey regarding ths Identity of the temporal bone. Tharsday, Sept.

1. n- vnrral II Pierce cross-examined by Judge rvincS The Witness gave scientific the temporal bone of a man and that of a hog. He waa severely tested by be-tSi shown temporal bones of ahee dogs, and hogs. There are resemblances between all of these bones In some of their features, but the witness maintained that In reral form and ouUlne tbe human temporal bone Dr. aDorsVywas under a severe fire of cross-examination by Judge Vincent the remainder of the day.

The only practical change In his testimony was an amendment of his former statement regarding the femur. He had said It was a left femur; be meant to say it waa from tbe right limb. The witness still held the opinion and once expressed It. that the bones In question were from a female skeleton. Friday.

Sept. IT. Dr. George A. Dorsey still on the stand at the opening of the morning session.

Vincent had a lively closing tussle with the young expert for the state, who held to his views tenaciously and waa a maater of fence. To the closing question, whether or not there waa any possibility of his being mistaken, the reply came that he did not believe there was In regard to three bones the temporal, the femur, the phalanx. He might be mistaken in regard to the sesamoid and metacarpal. Judge Vincent moved to strike out all the evidence of the expert witnesses for tbe state, which was overruled. Captain Herman Schuettler was again called to Identify and trace a number of the state's exhibits, as waa also Officer Kinder, Sergeant Bpengler, and Officer Hannlgan.

The pictorial scoop of the New York World, published) Sept. 14, give the Inspector a lynx eye and a sneer which rightly belong to the full-fledged sleuth. The World's artist had the right Idea. He built a face around a keen INSPECTOR MICHAEL J.

They had a case of lynching In Texas recently. They have had them before and nothing was ever done about it, but this time it is different. The mob In this case took a prisoner, who was charged with murder, out of jail while his trial was la progress, and shot him to death.

The grand Jury met at Dallas shortly after, and the presiding Judge, Gordon Russell, had this to say In his charge to that body: "I tell you gentlemen it ia time to call a halt In these things. I shall make no apology for what I have said. I shall set my face resolutely agalast mob lawlessness, and shall exhaust every prerogative of my official station to prevent and punish It. I declare to you that so long as I am Judge In this district no body of men, however influential and powerful, shall be permitted to clutch the duly constituted agencies of organised government by the throat and hold it at bay. Tne verdicts oi tne moo never mean punishment: they mean vengeance.

They are the expression of anarchy aad revolt against law. They are shameless and brutal assaults upon civilisation Itself. Don't tell me that the courthouse trials are uncertain. The remedy is not Jn mobbing the prisoners, but in casting out the cowardly and corrupt Juror who will not enforce the law. Aa unhealthy public sentiment will torn loose one criminal, and sometimes the men who help to secure the acqulttaTwlU make that miscarriage of Justice an excuse for lynching some less fortunate offender." The grand Jury thereupon returned Indictments against -twenty-two members of tbe mob, and by the time the court Is through with them the probability la that lynching as a pastime will be much less popular in that vicinity.

If the authorities la Ripley county will take the same stand they will do much to remove a stain from the state that Ita lawless citizens have placed -there. Indianapolis Jouraal. 1 1 ft i COUNTY: DEMOCRACY'S JAUN1 Will Leave Ch lea are Oet. for. th Xaahvllle Exwesltloa.
