The Cases of the Suspeeta Called for Trial To-lay. Chicago, August Probably no -case in the annals of-criminal history in Cook County hns attracted more widespread attention than the Cronin murder and the deep mystery in which it has been enshrouded. A great crowd sought admittance at the portal of Judge McConnell's room at: 90 o'clock this Promptly at 10 o'cjeick there ws a slight rustle at the door of Hhe judge's private entrance, and the crowd: tiptoed in expectancy as a Deputy Sheriff ientered the room arid cleared the way for 'the appearance of the prisoners who Were to answer to the grave charge of wantonly murdering abuman being.

A moment later tht door was thrown wide open and the traveler Burke, the loquacious Woodruff, the- taciturn Conghlin, the remonstrating Btggs, the sient O'Sullivan aurijhe indignant Kunze, entered and texk their seats-facing the Court and in the order named. "What is the business before the court this morning?" oueried Judge McConnell.as innocently as though he did not expect the Cronin cafe to be called until some. time next year. "If the Court please," said state's Attorney Longmcker advancing to tlie front, "I huve received notice from three of the defendants in the Cronin cttse asking a separate trial, and sav ing they would apply lor a separate trial on the opening of the court this morning. Their application.

I presume, is on hie." "If your honor please," said Attorney Dona-hoe. "I desire betorc au argument for a separate trial, to present a motion on behalf of my client. John Kunze."

Electricity promises to be utilized in. Indianapolis in various ways-before another year has passed. It is already being used as a motor power by a good many men.

and some extensive manufacturers are considering the of supplanting steam with it.
