()‘Su‘llivan, eai Mr.Donahoo. had no motive to commitl this crime; he was not at odds with Cronin; Cronin never did anything to harm him; the absence of a motive must be taken into tho account when making up the judgment. The contract was made openly ud told all about it to whoever asked. even after the murder. Mr. Donahoe paid mock compliments to the New York Herald correspondent Clancy. saying Clancy bod over-acted the part when ho imitated on tho stand the trembling and nervous hesitancy of O'Bullivon when Clancy urged him to go to the station toidentify Cronin'o body The speaker argued that neurons- nose and hesitancy were no evtdenoe of crime. They were merely matters of temperament. Two or threo times during his speech Mr. Donahoe referred to Mr. Ilynes. of the prosecution. in denunciatory or sarcas- tic terms. Mr. Bynec speaks next on the side of the State. A Chicago despatoli of last (Thursday) night says: When the on“, was called to order for the further hearing in the Cronin case Mr. William Hynes. of counsel for the prosecution. took up the argument to the jury. He arrayed facts to show that the line of defence had been organised before the murder was committed. There was evidence of that in Begge‘ declaration that Cronin would turn up; in the sending of l despatchee to the chest that Cronin had i been seen in Canada, and. this defence was i only thwarted by the discovery of Cmniu’s body. which had not been bestowed ac. cording to the programme. lnllie pre- sence of his dead body it cooli not be claimed that he had gone to England to testify as is.

Mr. Hyneo spoke of the lonely situation of the Carlson cottage. and said that to connect any one with entering it within a week of the murder. either before or after. was to connect him wi'h the crime. Concerning the knives found in Coughlin's poisessiort, Mr. Hynee expressed the opinion that Coughlin did not suppose he would be arrested. and thought his pocket was a safe place to hide them in.

A Chicago deep-itch gives the following report of tho Cronin trial proeoedingo of Saturday: Mr. Footer began the second division of his speech by an allusion to the " meeting which has now become his- toric, that was bold in Gimp 20.

No adjective in the Eu lish Ian» gouge known to me is sufficient y strong to express my views and my senti- menls when those charges ere made. because it is false as htll.” Mr. Foster argued at length that Begga as senior guardian had always counselled peace and unity, and then said ; ‘ Hang him because he is a friend of Alexander Sullivan I do not know whether he is a friend of Alexan- der'Sullivan or not.

Mr. Leblanc had left the house and his wife went into the back yard to hang out clothes. leaving a 6-moutbs-cld baby in the house in charge of another child between 8 and 9 years of age. Suddenly tho latter came rennin to his mother and cried. “Thereto a dog in the house; come quick or be will eat tho baby." At the some time a small dog which had boon left inside began to bark at a fearful rate. and Mrs. Leblanc all at once suspected what was the matter. as bruin had been prowling about the neighborth for some time pro. vionaly. and she immediately soieod a small axe and made towards the house. Getting to the kitchen. the saw an enormous bear smellin around the cradle. but hearing t e woman approach the animal arose on his hind legs. and while he attempted to dootro the woman. the slashed and cut right on left with the hatchet. which was the only weapon at her disposal. In the melee the cradle was overturned. and as the infant fell directly in the rear of the bear. it was seized by the older child. who had followed . his mother into the room. and the littleene was immediately carried upstairs out of harm's way. Mrs. Leblanc now felt that her strength was giving out. and that if help did not soon arrive shs should be forced to succumb. Bruin. with one tor. rible blow. sent the axe flying out of the terrified woman's hand. and was about following it up with what would probably have proved a fatal blow when Mrs. Leblanc fainted and fell to the ground. Tho enraged animal’s pow was placed on the prostrate woman's breast. when two heavy bulldogs. followed by their master, rushed into the house, attracted by the screams of the mother and children. The dogs by themselves wore too many for brain. but a ball from her husband's rifle put an end to the vicious animal. and when his body was examined as many as fifteen gushes were found that had been indicted by the heroic woman in her courageous and successful attem t to save her child. The brave woman is oing well.

Warden Brush. at Sing Sing. has been quietly making preponticne for the unpleasant event. The one-story brick building. thirty feet square. in which the electric chair is to be placed, has been com- pleted. It stands at the rear of the prison. against the wells of the dark cells. A gang of convict stone-workers were laying a heavy stone floor in the building when the reporter entered yesterday. It is a dark, dismal place. and the back walls cannot houses from the little narrow entrance. There are a few very small openings around the top of the walls. which are to serve as windows. but little or no light is thrown into the building from these open- ings. The bore brick walls will remain as they are. and the only furnishings of the dismnl chnmber will be the fatal electric chair and the connections loading to the dynamo. State Electrician Brown will have his instrument of death in thorough working order by Saturday next. Warden Brush was not at tho risen yesterday. being sway in Albany. rinolpal Keeper Connaughtou said that not more than twenty persons would be proseut at the execution. Although it was known that the condoned man's counsel had filoda notice of appeal. no omcial notification was received at the prison up to a late hour last night.

I always suspected that in the central regions between the equatorial lakes some- thing Worth seeing would be found. but I was not reporcd for such shat-vest of new facts. his has certainly been the most extraordinary expedition I have ever led into Africa. A veritable divinity seems to have hedged us while we journeyed. I say it with all reverence. It has impelled us whither it would. rzfiected its own will. but nevertheless guided and protected us. What can you make of this. for instance? On August l7lh. 1887. all the officers of the rear column are united at Yambuyo. They hove my letter of instructions before them, but instead of preparing for the morrow’s march to follow our track. they decide to wait at Yambuya. which decision initiated the most awful season any community of men ever endured In Africa or elsewhere. The results are that three quarters of their force die of slow iscn. their commander is murdered. on the second cflicer dies soon after of sickness and grief. Another officer is wasted to a skeleton and obliged ~ to return home ; c fourth is sent to wonder aimlessly up and down the Congo. and the survivor is found in such a fearful pest hole that we dare not describe its horrors. ()n the same date. 160 miles away. the officer of the day leads 333 men of the advanced column into the hush, loses the path and all consciences se of his where- abouts. and every stop he takes only leads him further astray. His people become frantic. Bi! white companions. vexed and irritated by the sense of evil around them. cannot devise any expedient to relieve him. They are remanded by oannibalo, and ciscntipped arrows this their numbers. enutime I. in command of the river . column. am anxiously searching up and down the river in four different directions.

One of the num- ber of the great beasts became unruly. and escaping from the drivers charged directly upon the prince. who was standing apart from the rest. The prince was nearest to the elephant and did not at first see his imminent danger. A about from behind warned him : “ Run! run l" they cried. It seemed too late. for the trumpeting terror was scarcely four yards away. At this juncture Colonel Sanderson sprang forward, waving his arms. and darted be- tween tbo Prince end the elephant. This brave act diecr-ncerted the beast for a moment. ind ho swerved in the direction of the colonel. The Prince. now thoroughly frightened, turned and ran like u bare in the direction of the grand stand. where he finally found rtfuge. Colonel Henderson escaped by a miracle. When this news waomode known in London the greatest excitement prevailed over the narrowneos of the escape of the heir presumptivo. . Some people pretended to look on it as more t u an accidental incident. recalling the my “rumor vhtch‘was circulated shortly after the young Prince started for India. namely. that he would never return olive. This grew out of the report. no- fonndsd this believed. thattbo. young man was‘implioated in the nameless horrors of the Cleveland street house near Cavendish square. Two of his household were in- volved in it. and they have been dismissed. The rumor that the Prince was doomed to lileloor exile in India or a sudden death there rom tigers or elephants" was‘snp- posed to repreoept a Spartan determination on the part of the Prince of Wales never to look on his son again. It is not true. The young Prince is to return in March. â€"-â€"â€"-â€"-----â€".-â€"-â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"~ 81’ RISE POSTAOI "AMPR. m They Boar tho Portrait of the Baby King.
