Goodloe, two of the Best distinguished Republican leaders la the State, met in the lobby of the cus­ tom house. The men got into a wrangle which resulted in an encounter, in which Col. Swope was stabbed to death, receiv­ ing thirteen ghastly wound*, almost any one of which would have caused death. CoL Goodloe received a slight pistol wound in the left shoulder and prob- ably a fatal shot in the abdomen, cutting through the bowels. The diffi­ culty grew out of a political dispute between these gentlemt-a at the last convention held in Louisville in May, 18S8, to nominate delegates to theNa- ticn tl Republican Convention, and since that time they have been the most im­ placable of foes. Swope was for eight years Internal Revenue Collector for that district, and Col. Goodi^E WAS Minister to Belgium under Hayes, and is at pres­ ent a member «f the Republican National Committee. A further cause of trouble Ibetween the two men was the appoint­ ment of Col. Goodloe to the position of Revenue Collector by President Harri- Cpl.

On the sub­ ject of desertion Col. M^Cawley says: tnie frequency of desertion ie an alarming •Vil from which, in common v.ith the army, we BBfl'er greatly. In my opi:vlon the cause is that t«emen are overworked fiom their being too few to do the duty.

A SPECIAL from Everett, Mo., says: During tho war this section of the State was raided alternately by the bushwhack­ ers and the Kansas red-legs, and every­ thing portable was either carried away or buried. Several people are known .to have burried money, and periodical searches have been made for the hidden treasure. The other day, while Chxrles Lawson was blowing up stumps in a clenring, he unearthed a powder can which contained $750 in gold and silver coin. As there is no possible clew to the owner, Lawson will use the money to pay off a mortgage. A DAYTON, N. M., dispatch of the Sth inst. says: During the fierce blizzard which has been raging in this vicinity for J eight days and which shows no signs of cessation five American cowboys and two I Mexican sheep-herders have bt-ae frozen to death. Two cowboys, blinded by the storm, drifted in a canyon and took refuge in a cedar tree eaten out by rats. The second night ona of their horses died, and. being famished with hunger, they cut strips of flesh from the animal and ate them. After being impiisoned sixty hours they made their way nmid much suffering to a ranch thiity miles distant. Thousands of cattle and sheep have perished in the storm, which i6 by far the worst ever ex­ perienced in New Mexico. The loss to life and property cannot be estimated.

O'Sullivan about that time?" "Yes, sir; he called at my house in the Com panied bv Capt. Schuettler, "Describe the articles you found in the cottage and also the condition of the rooms." The witness said that he saw a dresser, washstaiul, bowl and pitcher, small 'amp, bed, mattress, springs, two pillows, and a comforter. The front room floor was smeared with yellow paint On tho floor in the hallway, front room, and bedroom were footprints, as though made by a naked foot in fresh paint. Capts.

Officer Phillips' in regard to the bringing ^oSSo^S,W5b« of the trunk to the polico station, George Hiatt, a detective at the East Chi ago avenue station, was detailed on the case the day after the body wa? found.' On the day the Carlson cottage was put latter part of May to see me about tatting | under surveillance the witness and Officer ice from him this season. I had just read in the papers that morning ubout the find­ ing of Dr. Cronin's body, and I asked Mr. Sullivan if he had heard about it. He said he had. I said it was a terrible thing to kill anybody and throw his body into a catch-basin. Mr. Sullivan said he heard them say that Dr. Cronin was a .British spy and I said: 'Why should they kill hi'n even if he was a spy?' Then Mr. Sullivan said: 'They say he gave away secrets of a secret order, and if that was so he ought to be killed.' I said: 'If he did that he was another Morgan,' and Mr. Sullivan siaid: 'Such tnen get thtir just deserts.' Sebastian Stelb then took the stand. On the 4th of May he was a police officer in Lake Viewa About 11:30 o'clock on the night of May 4 he and Officer John Riley were standing on Fullerton avenue, near Cooper street. A horse and wagon passed by containing three men and what ap­ peared to be a large chest in the box be­ hind the seat. The wagon approached them from the west.

THIRB AUDITOR W. R. HABT, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury, says that the number of pen­ sioners on the rolls July 1, 1889, was 490,000, and that there will probably be added 35,000 more by June 30, 1890. This addition will make the estimated num­ ber of pensioners at that date 525,000, thus giving for examination 2,100,000 vouchers, and requiring for their pay­ ment at least $100,000,000. GENERAL A. W. GREELY, Chief Signal Officer of the army, in his annual report calls attention to the necessity of im­ provement and change in current methods wulculiP nan of signal instruction and practice. The out is said to be forged, and his creditnro recor<ls show that less that one officer are apt to lose heavily. ' ou^ nine of. the line of the army has re­ ceived instruction in signaling during the year. These evils are especially pronounced in view of the in­ troduction of the telephone and other instruments of modern invention which are applicable to signaling pur­ poses. He recommends that the force of enlisted'men in the service be reduced from 470 to 200. The cold wave pre­ dictions, he says, have improved greatly since their inauguration. The weather crop bulletin has met with great favor. The General urgeB more liberal appro­ priations. THE Hon. Thomas F.

Tho horse was a dark bay and they were driving at an ordinary gait. Other officers traced the route of the wagon containing the trunk by the time it passed them on their beats on the fatal night. The State then called R. T. Stan­ ton, a printer and publisher of Lake View, who printed for O'Sullivan the lot of cards, one of which was carried to Dr. Cronin as a token, by the man who drove the white horse. Mr. Stanton testified that in the last of April O'Sullivan came to his place and ordered a lot of cards printed. These cards were delivered to O'Sullivan by the witness on May 2. "When was the order given to you by O'Sullivan?" asked Mr. Donahoe, who conducted the cross examination. "I can not remember. I can tell only the first entry on the book, which shows shows that the shop ticket was made out on April 2b. Mr. Forrest took «a hand in the cross- examination. He developed that Stanton's foreman took O'Sullivan's order, Mr. Stanton himself not being present. The date of the delivery of the cards, May 2, and the first charge made against O'Sulli­ van on Stanton's books for printing, April 29, were all made by persons other than the witness. Mr. MilU-, on re­ direct examination, fixed the date of the printing of the cards by asking Mr. Stan­ ton when he received the special 'leut," from which was printed in red ink on the O'Sullivan cards the picture of an ice- wagon. The cut was received by Stanton April 26, so that it was impossible that any cards printed by him could have been ready much before May 2. Capt. Francisco Villiers was again called to swear to the correctness of tbe blue print map of What was the city of Lake View, but is now a part of Chicago. He told bow far it was from Brynmawr CAPT.

O n cross- examination Forrest brought out the roads were sandy, but this was good for the wanted it to appear that the sand on Din- nn's whitecapel buggy came from Lake View. Another point of the captain's testimony Was that the bringing into the Sheffield avenue station of the bloody trunk which was discovered May 5. "What was in the trunk?" "There was some cotton batting and red, tissue paper, evidently, the wrapping of the cotton. Capt. Wing and Officer Phil­ lips discovered it I also found a lock of hair," continued the witness. "The lid of the trunk was fastened to tbe clasp by the lock. The other fastenings had been torn off." The bloody trunk was again brought in and identified by Capt. Villiers. Herman Theei testified • that on the morning of May 5 he and two friends went to Edgewater on a hunting expedi­ tion. The names of those who accompa­ nied him were Herman Pa usee and Carl Knop. They left the city about 4 o'clock in the morning, reaching Edgewater an hour or two later. While passing through the woods on their return they found a trunk lying near a fence a short distance south of the Chicago & Evanston railroad tracks. It was then be­ tween 8 and 9 o'clock. The lid of the trunk was broken off and lay about five feet away. They looked in the trunk and discovered blood-stained cotton bat­ ting and some thick blood, which one of them stirred with a stick. When they found the trunk it was lyiug on fhe west Bide of Evanston avenue and on the east side of the fence that skirts that thorough­ fare. They carried it out near the road­ side, where it would be noticed by anyone passing by. Pausee a$d Knop corroborated the ^above witness and all of them identified the trunk. Joseph Phillips, one of the Lake View of­ ficers wno went for tbe truns, testified that they found it lying with one corner in a ditch alongside the road. There were two or three inches of water in the ditch, and a small quantity had leaked into tbe trunk. When they arrived at the spot it was about 10 o'clock. The lid was lying a few feet away, and in the trunk was some cotton batting covered with blood. Officer Phillips pulled a small lock of hair off the side of the trunk that was sticking to a clot of blood. He rolled it up in a piece of. paper and banded it over to Capt. ; Villier* vpon his return to the station. After searching in the vicinity where the trunk was round for an hour and a half it was placed in the patrol-wagon and brought to the station. Officers Wing and Phillips carried it to the captain's office. , E H. Wing ex-captain of nolice of Lake Tiew, was then called. His testi­ mony regarding the bringing of tbe trunk to the station was precisely the same as that given by Officer Phillips. When he ^>.succeeaed Capt. Vil­ liers the trunk and lock of hair came in­ to his possession. A day or two after the discovery at tbe.

This was done in tbe Lorch went there between 2 and 3 o'clock iii the afternoon. Charles Carlson admitted them. After describing the farniture aid ap­ pearance of the rooms Officer Hiatt said that he saw Lorch pick a key up off the floor, ne was present when Lorch handed the key to Capt. Wing and saw it tried in the lock. The key was found in the dresser aud was partly covered with yellow paint. Upon examining the dresser the witness and Officer Lorch discovered the initials "A. H, R. & Co." That was the first clew they got that the furniture was bought at RevellV ' William L. James is the name of a 11- year-old boy who lives at No. 118 South Morgan street, who was tbe next witness. Every sentence be littered was weighed carefully, and when he made a statement he stuck to it. During the months of February, March and April young James was employed in his father's office in tbe opera-bouse block. Tho adjoining office was occupied by Mr. Snell. Mr. Snell's rooms were directly opposite Net 117 South Clark street. The boy spent most of his time in Mr. Snell's office and frequent­ ly saw men on the top floor, front, of 11'7 Clark street. About the 1st of March he saw a man washing his feet at the window one day. The man did not have anything on but his underclothing. When he saw that young James was watching him he pulled down tho window curtain. Several times during the latter part of February and the forepart of March James saw men lying down on the bed in the Clark street flat. They usually came in about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. "The man you saw washing his feet at the window, do you see him now in court?" Judge Longenecker asked the witness. "Yes, sir; that's him lying on the pil­ low," indicating John Kunze, the little German. Kanze turned his bead , and looked fiercely at the witness. Then he muttered something in German ana rolled back into bis old position. f In the cross-examination Mr; Donahoe brought out the fact that the witness >had identified Kunze at the North Halsted street station the night he was arrested. He picked him out of ' a half-dozen men standing in line. The man he saw at the window washing his feet did not have a mustache, but Kunze did when he identi­ fied him. After the most severe crAss-ex- aminatldh of James, Coroner Hertz was called. It was his business to prove that the bloody trunk was tho same one found in the ditch beside the Evanston road. ' 'Is this the trunk?" he was asked. "This is in every particular' identical with the trunk I turned over to the chief of police. If this is the trunk turned over to the police then it is the one brought into the court room where the inquest was held." Forrest did some pretty work in the cross-examination of Hertz, and the coro­ ner fussed over the trunk until he was red in the f&ce. Then he said: "It seems to me impossible that another trunk could be made to look like this. Here are the stains of what was supposed to be blood; there is tbe same fracture of the lid---" "Yes, but is it tbe same trunk?" "Yes, it is. I took particular notice of it, and this is the trunk." William Mertes, the milkman, was called upon the stand. *- "Do you remember May 4 last?" "Yes, I do. I was on the east side of Ashland avenue, near the Carlson cottage, about 8:30 o'clock. I saw two men drive up to the Carlson cottage in a buggy. Tbe horse that pulled the buggy was a dark-brown with a white face A big fellow got out of the buggy and went up {he steus and it looked to me as if he had keys and let himself in. So soon as he got the left side of his body in tbe door the other man in the buggy' turn­ ed around and drove away ' so quick as he could get away. When he came toward me I saw his face very plain. He was a little man without any beard. He bad a big forehead and looked to be about 20 years old. The man who went into the cottage was a big, bigh-sbouldered man, big fellow. I went down to the grocery store and stayed there about half an hour. The store is one block and a half south of Ashland avenue. When I came back along by the Carlson cottage I beard noises like there was nailing - There was a small light in the house, like they keep all night in a house. and stayed in all night." "Did you ever see again:" "Yes, sir." "Do you see them now?" "Yes, sir." "Where are they." "That man there, John Kunze, is the one I saw driving the buggy. Then the one sitting next on the east' of Mr. O'Sul­ livan is the man who went into the house." "Dan Coughlin?" "Yes, that's the man." This testiinoqy produced a sensatiou in the court room, but tbe persons most affected were not in tbe least disturbed. SHIP-BUILDING IN MAINE. Many Yards in Operation In the State-- Wasret Hxv« Increased. Augusta (Maine) dispatch: More than thirty ship yards have been iu operation for the last year, with nearly 2,00') men employed. The wages in Bath are better by 20 per cent than in 18^8, and where the shipwright three years ago got $1.50 a day now he receives $2.50. The cost of vessels has also increased, so that the con­ tractors are asking 25 per cent more for the work than five years ago. Notwith­ standing that the demand has increased. The Maine Bureau of Labor has been making careful figures cn the industry in the State, from which interesting facts ^a^e learned In Bath alone twenty-one 'vessels, mostly schooners, have been built, one steamer for the Kennebec Steamboat company included, while at the present time ten vessels are on stocks, one being a 3,000-ton ship, and nearly all wftl be launched before the close of the year. Of these thirty-one vessels, eleven are over 1,000 tons each. Approximately the total tonnage Which will be completed fn the State this year is 62,000 tons, of which 44,0<*0 are in the Beth district.

A well-known gentleman, recently deceased, one day related the follow- idg incident: "I was standing in my street door raising my umbrella and just about to issue forth on important business into the midst of a sudden and heavy fall of rain.

A large number of civil and niocbauical engi- neers of Chicago, who are desirous or obtaining tha co-operation of the engineerirg professieST**! iu their efforts to locate tho fair in Chicago . P5 have organized a committee and issued an ad' dress to their profession throughout tho coun« try advancing the many reasons why the exposi­ tion should be located in Chicago. It is pro. posed that during the exposition a great engi­ neering convention, embracing all branches ol engineering, be held, to which will be invited the entire membership of everv engineering organi­ zation in the world, and Chicago, being located' in the very heart of our country, will give to the viBiting members a rare opportunity of Beeing our Great Republic and appreciating its magni­ tude aud growth. Excursions will be arranged from and to Iht Atlantic and Paqiflo seaboards for the benefit of alL - A secret meeting of two import ir.' commit­ tees was held at the World's Fair 1 .^.i.r.avters and important action taken, which rxt tiave more weight with Congress in deciding :-.i Chi­ cago than anything else so far aseom;hed. The two committees which.met in joint session were the Committee on Permanent Organization and the Coinmittea on Congressional Action. New York determined a few .lays ago not to effect a permanent organization until after Con- gress met and decided tho location. Nb othei« course was open as long as the stock was not taken and in the absence of any immediate likelihood of its being subscribed 'for. Chicago virtually has the Stock now subscribed, and call call the stockholders together at any moment to hold an election for directors. The conference lasted over two hours, and it was finally decided i#ianimously to instruot the ' Committee on Permanent Organization to per­ fect its plan?. The Finance Committee is now ready to call for the last reports from the sub-finance com­ mittees and appoint a meeting of stockholders within a week. Tweut^-flve directors will be elected by the stockholders. This board will at •once proceed to effect a permanent organiza­ tion, elect officers, and conduct tha business of the company. The only considerable subscription still out­ standing is that of the railroads. E. St. John, Chairman of the Railroad Committee, says that they are safe to take tho million and a half assigned them. Chicago's bid for the World's Fair will come to Congress from a responsible business organ­ ization, one of the most gigantic ever formed, and will be a business proposition that must weigh more with the country than the crude, half-formed, pcorly executed plans of a dozen' other jealous cities, which have lacked the en­ terprise to bring them to fruition. At a meeting of the Finance Committee, a few days a<jo, an interesting report was read re­ garding the temperature, climate and death rate of Chicago as compared with other cities. Lieutenant A. W. Greely, chief signal-service officer, and Louis Manasse, the optician, pre­ pared the former and Dr. DeWolf the latter. They show the mean temperature for New York, "Washington, St. Louis and Chicago during the summer months for tho past four years. Ac­ cording to these figures the mean temperature for 1880, '87, '88 and '89 for the six summer 'months was: New York, GO degrees ; Washing­ ton, 08 degrees ; St. Louis. 70 degrees; and Chi­ cago, 02 degrees. The mean temperature during, the months beginning with Mayand ending with October are: New York--1836, 65 degrees; 1887, 00 degrees; 1888, 05 degrees. Washington--1888, 87 degrees; 1887, C9 degrees ; 1888, 07 degrees. St. Louis--1880, 73 degrees; 1887, 72 degrees; 1888, 68 degrees. Chicago-1880, 04 degrees; 11387, 63 degrees; 1888, 61 degrees. For the year 1889, omitting October, the mean temperature was as follows : New York, 70 degrees; Washington, 69 de­ grees: St. Louis, 70 decrees; Chicago, 65 de­ grees. The mortuary statistics prepared by Dr. De Wolf show that for the past three years the an­ nual death rate of New York, Chicago, and Bt. Louis was as follows : New York. Chicago. St. Louis. 1886 27.93 19.43 20.6 1887. 27.20 29.21 2L8 1888 26.38 19.00 20.9 m In connection with this latter report, Dr. De Wolf says: "There has never been a case of yellow fever within our limits which originated here. During the season -when this disease has been prevalent in the South, Chicago has al­ ways invited, by public proclamation, all citi­ zens of the South to come here as a city ol refuge, and provision has been made for those not able to care for themselves, in 1879, during the epidemic at Memphis, sixteen of these refugees died in Chicago of yellow fever and were buried here. Our idtizens wtre in no way disturbed, but received and cared for these strangers v ith all care and tenderness. If yellow fever should appear in the South during the exposition year both New York and St. Louis would be obliged to quaran­ tine against all Southern visitors, while Chicago would, with perfect safety, open wide her gates. The number of deaths from sunstroke last year (1888) in each city was as follows: Chisago, 19; St Louis, 47; New York, 96.* E. D. GUCASON. A Strange Messenger. A little bird flew into Messrs. E. R. Hull & Co.'s store one day last week, and after flitting about the room some: time perched on a chandelier, directly over the head of David James, who has charge of the children's department. It was remarked at the time that should the bird alight upon the head of Mr. James he would soon hear of the death of a friend. No sooner were the words said than the strange little visitor descended directly upon the head of the salesman, and then darted oat into the street and was gone. In a short time Mr. James received word that his little son was dying, and has­ tening home found the message to be true. This incident actually occurred, and those who witnessed it were great­ ly astonished at the verification of an old sign. It was a strange coincidence. --Abrtm (Ohio) Republican. , /"IK £ .
