Onio ago, Nov. 9. Polioo Captain Sohuettlor was again calloil to the witness stand in tho Cronin trial. Ho brought with liiin into court tho blind takon from the window of tho Carlson oottugo with the paint prints of a hand on it. Tho witness was cross-examined by Judgo 'Wing.

Tho finger marks on tho window blind wore made with the samo yollow paint with which tho floor was smeared. Ono slat of tho blind was broken. It lookod as though soma ono had attempted to oloso tho blind hurriedly aud did not notico that his hand was covered with tho paint. Witness found in the cottage -a pail or can of paint, and in it a brush. 1 ho paint had evidently been exposed to the air for somo time.

This paint corresponded to ihut on the floor. Cant. Schuettlor then related how ho took ohargo of tho look and key aud other things found in tho cottage. On the ro-direot examination by Mr. Hynes, witness told of tho conversation between O'Sullivau and Cupt.

Schuaok, in whioh ho (witness) took part on May 28, in which O'SuIUvan admittod tho contract butwoen him aud Dr. Cronin, and also that ho (O'Sullivau) had telephoned Coughlin to inform him about a man named Kunzo aud a horse. O'Sullivau also admitted in this conversation that none of his man had over been injured and that ho had never boon sued for damages. O'SuIUvan denied positively that he was a membor of the Olau-uu-Gaol. Capt.

Suhuottler stated how he became of the blind and also told the history of the hair takon from tho trunk. Witness had boon given two bunches of hair, ono by Dr. Egbert and the other by Copt Wiug. Both of these he hud given to Dr. Bufield in the samo condition thut he received them.

On the reorosH-exainination by Judge Wing witness went into a detailed history of tho key of the trunk. Ollioer Looeh, he said, guo him tho key and ho gave it to Cupt. Wing. Judge Wiug followed up the key from the time Capt. Sohuettlor gave it to Cupt Wiug as far as witness' knowledge went, aud made him describe over again tho condition of the Caribou oottugo.

Oillcer Edward Hedriok testified to having taken the window blind from the front window of tho Carlson cottage and bi ought it to Capt Suhuottler. Witness identified the piece of blind in court and also the finger marks. Mrs. Lingreu, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Carlson, testified to having been at her father's house, May 111, wiion it was first entered bv tho Carlsons after the receipt of the "Frank William's" letter. tola how Uharley Uurlson and her husband gained admission by climbing through a window, and dis-cribed tho condition of the inteiior. Mr. Lingron corroborated his wife's testimony, and the pioc.o of widow shut-tor was offered in evidence. William Neimun was then called, aud his evidence created a sensation.

Neimun 's story was thut he is a on School street and Ashland avenue. He opened his place on May and that day made a contract with O'Sullivau for ice. Tho next evening, May, about 10:30 o'clock O'SuIUvan came in acuompuuied by two men. They stayed about naif anhour Mr continuing his testimony said: "The three drank two glasses of wine each, and staid in tho suloon about half uu hour. When asked to look around the comt room to if either of the men who accompanied O'SuIUvan was pie.sont, tho witness hesitatingly said that one of thorn very much rtwrablod Coughlin.

Neimau, when asked if he saw tho smaller man who was with' that night, promptly' poiiitud towurd Kunzo and repliod; "Yes sir, tho man is Kuuze, there." The defense tried, hard to confuse the witness on dates, but he had thorn well fixed by. having opened a saloon aud' seemed his license tho day before the ranrder occurred. Mort, a printer, jwus called to ideutilly the card given by the driver of the white horse to Dr. Cronin. Sarcreant Halfig and Montgomery of 'the Chicago avenue station testified tot the frequent leiupuoue messages passing 'oosween Conehlin and O'Sullivau, and Oillcer KalvaU'g" identified the piece of foot-printed noor.

Alfred Kittner, a young German watchmaker, said he know Coughlin for several Years, (and lent material assistance to the atato's desire to show that the- big-deteotivo was iii the Moiuity of the Curlsou cottage pretty much all of May 4 from noon 'to midnight JL'hero was a man witli Coughlin, tho witness aid, smaller aud younger, rathor stout andhaving a small black moustaoho (pioviug it to have boon either Coonoy or Simonds). Officers Hunkler and Robinson tosti-fiqd to seeing' mun on the sidewalk in front of tho Carlson cottage on tho night of May 1'2 and a light inside. Fivo minutes later tho men had disappeared and tho oottugo was in durknesa. Court thon adjourned. Shortly after 3 o'oloolc yesterday afternoon tho clothes and instrument cubo of Dr.

Cronin wore found in a catch basin near whoro tho physician's body wob disoavered. Tho' articles word immediately sont to" polioo headquarters. Tho Canadian witnesses, Malcolm MoKinuou, tho railroad police officer, nnd Mills, tho discharged jail prisoner, whom tho attorneys lor tho stato bo-lieved would come to Chicago, are still in Winnipeg, and neither has signified his intention to como hero. Telegrams urging them to como hero have beon sent by Judgo Longoneckor every day for a week, but for somo reason thoy have been treated with silenco. Woodruff is to bo disappointed again.

Tho state's attorneys havb concluded, after a gi eat deal of argument, that ho is not tho Koi-t of a witness calculated to help in so important cases us the Cronin trial, no ho will not bo placed on tho stand to rohearso tho fairy tales with whioh ho regaled tho public. THE WE8T VIRGINIA FEUD. A Critical of Affairs Now Existing In Linooln County. Prrranuna, Nov. 0.

A special to Tho Timos from Charleston, W. Va Bays: A gontlemuu from this place, who ban just returned from tho Hart's Creek district, Lincoln county, tho scene of tho Brumfiold feud, told a Time's correspondent what ho had seen and heard. The feud exists botween tho Brumfiolds andRunyous, not tho Brumfiolds and McCoys, ilohu Bunyon was a deputy sheriff two years ago. He is a Republican, and Lincoln county is Democratic. Last fall Runyon organized a band of regulators to elect a Bepublican sheriff in order that Kunyon might be deputy shoriff again.

Tho Brumfiolds, who aro Democrats, discovered Iiuuyon's action, and intenao hatred began. Runyon and Al. Brumtield wore neighbors, and both keep stores uoar the same place The Brumfiolds had been doing more business than Bunyon, and this excited tho lattor's jealousy, making the feeling botween thorn more bitter. Mrs. James P.

Mullins had beon living with one of tho Brumfiolds. but demanded more money than he oared to nay, aud a quarrel ensued. The woman left Brumfiold and joined John Bunyon. She immediately stirred up Run-yon's dislike for Brumfiold. until ho offered $.100 for the killing' of Paris and Al.

Brumfiold. Milton Haloy and Qreen McCoy were selected to do tho job, who, from ambush, shot Paris Brumfiold, Al. Brumtield and tho litter wife Neither of the mon were seriously injured, but Mrs. Brumfiold was shot through the mouth, and has been suffering ever since, and is not expected to live. Haley aud MoCoy, having failed in tho attempt to kill tho Brumfiolds, fled to Kentucky, whouco officers brought them back, i'hey were taken from the officers at George Fry's houso, Hart's creek, at night and bhot.

The Brumlields were thon aveuged for the attempt on their lives, but Kunyon is yet to be avenged for tho murder of McCoy and Haley. The Charleston gentleman sava he passed through tho Hurts Creek district and found both factions armed to the teeth. Tho ridgeB on either side of Harts creek are putrolod by pickets of the opposing factions for several miles. There are about forty men oh either sides, stationed throe-quarters of a mile apart armed with Winchesters. Every movement of either side is watched by the others, and every passer-by halted and questioned in regarded to his business.

No injury is intended by either sido to anyone but the opposing faotions, but doath is the desired end in this direction. Both factions are opposed to their deeds being bent to tho outside world. Spies and reporters would bo summarily dealt with. Mrs. Mullini, who is now with Ruuyou is one of tho leaders of his party.

An outbreak is expected anytime, un so when it comes it will be a bloody affair. Many families of both faotions live side by side, and if the outbreak does occur, death and carnage will bo rampant Each side lias many friends who may bo drawn into the feud.

A GOOD MONETARY SITUATION. Enormous Amount of Business Transacted Kvorywhoro Comparison "With, Year Show a Increase Failures of the Fast Savon Says. NewYokk, Nov. 0. B.

G. Dun Company's weekly roviowof trado says: Tho business outlook continues to improve. All tho news this week is favorable, for tho publio ovon tho dooision adverso to the sugar trust, and tho exposure aud proposed reorganization in cotton oil, aro hopeful signs. Tho monetary situation lias decidedly improved, here and abroad, and while tho Bank of England rate is still held at 5 percent, money is quotod in open market at 2 per cent. That bank los $61,150 for tho wook but rho Bank of France gained $55,000, and the fall" in foreign exchango to $4.85 or lower shows that apprehensions of a foreign demand for spocie have vanished.

Tho volume of business is still enormous, and bank clearings for October oxceeded those of last year by 0 por cent, though last year's showed a gain of 10 per coiit. "over the previous" year. Boston showed a loss, Chicago little change, and Philadelphia a gain of 1G por cent, over last year, whilo tho gain at all other cities outside New York averaged 10. 0 per cent Most of tho increaso in payments comes from legitimate busino'ss, for speculation is still restricted, except in trust stocks. These begun to rally, but wore met with the decision adverso to tho sugar trust, and tho disclosure that over half a million had been lost for cotton oil stockholders in attempts to sustain tho market.

Other securities havo been stronger since tho eloction, the roportcd agreement about western rates having a good effect, but tho tone is not enthusiastic. Surplus foreign capital seeks investment hero, but in various industrial works -rathor than in railroads, aud the quick subscriptions in England of $8,000,000 for the purchase of mills, water power and elevators in Minnesota, shows that thero is no lack of funds' availablo for enterprises considered safe. Speculation in wheat was temporarily stimulated by uu otlioial publication by Mr. Dodge, the government statistiau, putting tho probable yield at bubhols. Whothor the paper had left his bauds before tho oilicml returns indicating a largo acreage and yield were made up, no ono seems to have asked.

But the lowest estimate would leave tho supply for export much beyond the largest foroign demand in ro-cont years, and tho net result for tho week has been a decline of three-fourths of a cent with salos of only 10,000.000 bushels. Corn is an eighth stronger and oats throe-fourths, but pork is hulf a dollar and lard half a cent lower. Oil has advanced four cents with moderate trading, aud cotl'oe is unchanged. Tho merely nominal price of raw sugar has been made actual, the trust having entered tho market as buyer at four and three-fourths cents for Muscovado and five aud li o-eighths for ilo dogroos centrifugal, but refined shows a decline of an eighth. It can only be rookoned a sign of improvement that wool has yielded about ono cent per pound since the concession has induced considerably buying.

Manutactiuera hold that no 'advance is Eossiblo in heavy woolens, aud havo ought little except at reduced prices. Theto is more encouragement in tho clothing trado of Philadelphia, but some tardiness in collections duo to opou weather. Cotton is also more act ive, and three-eighth oeuts lower, with sales for the week of (iUO.OOO bales; exports for tho waek falling bolow last year's by v5, 000 bales, while receipts show un iuciease of 110,000. The iron and steel business is remarkably strong, and bar producers in convention huve advanced the price to ono and nine-tenths cents, but thero is much ovideneo of a desire to inllato quotations aud oroato a boom, Philadel- quoting pig at $10, whilo tho 'homes company continues to sell at and stool rails at at mill, while iiCJl.oO is quotod here, and a recent sale is said to have uettad $20,50 at eastern mills. The returns from all interior-points are decidedly enoouragiug, showing an oxoeUent trado in progress, fair collections, and.

an ample supply of money. Exceptidhs are Uiut mpney is close at 7 percent, lit Chicago and a little closer at but easieraVPldladalphia, and that collections are retarded at Atlanta, and in tho grocery, drug, dad bnmehosof' the1 dry goods trade at Philadelphia. Partial failure of the cotton crop, in northern Alabama olid of a' general shrinkage of a per cent1 'in thb Memphis region account for some local shrinkage in trade. At Pittsburg, iron works are all busy, and window glass' has auvanoeu per cent, Atuoaton, retail trado is lively, but colder weather is wanted. Tho boot and shoe factories aro reported all busy, and sole leather is firm, but upper is quiet; und weak.

At Chicago expansion of trado is noted in dry goods, olothing and shoos, with larger receipts of most products oxcopt wool. Tho treasury has scarcely changod its holdings of cash, and exports at New York continue to excood last years vory largely. Failurs ocourring during tho weok United States 238, Canada 89, total 2S7, compared with 201 last week. For tho corresponding week last year, tho figures woro lJl in tho United States, and 82 in Canada. AN OCEAN DISASTER.

The Vessol Catohos ITlro and Goes on tha Hocks. SKiBnEREBN, Nov. o. Intelligence has reached horo from Crookhavon of tho total loss of tho steamer Queons-moro, Capt Trenory, which was bound from Baltinioro to Livorpool with a gon-eral cargo. All wont well on tho voyagd until Monday, whon tho cargo caught fire.

Tho orow sot to work at tho pumps, and all day and all night worked hard in trying to subduo tho flames, but to no purpose, and to mako matters worso a thick fog set in on tho coast in tho aftornoon, and tho captain lost his reckoning.
