THE BODY IN THE MORGUE FULLY IDENTIFIED BY OVER TWO HUNDRED PERSONS—COL. REND'S REMARKARLE STATEMENTS AS TO THE INSTI- GATOR OF THE MURDER. Cutcaco, May 23.—States Attorney Longe- necker states that the police have received important clues this morning, and that they expect to have the murderer under arrest within a short time. What these clues are, or in what direction they turn suspicion, the states attorney de- clitied to indicate, ; Considerable excitement was caused this morning by the fact that Capt. Villiers, of the Lake View police force, and Lieut. Schuetler, of the East Chicago avenue station, marched into the formers private’ office this morning, with P.O. Sullivan,the Lake View ice man between them. It was rumored that an im- portant arrest in the Cronin murder case has been madi : Sullivan, it will be remembered. is the ice dealer who is said to have made a contract with Dr. Cronin shortiy before his disappear- ance to look after any of his men who might be injtred for the consideration of #50 a year. It has been the theory of some that Sullivan might have men- tioned to his employees the fact of hi ig made the contract, and that one of them was con- cerned in the disappearance of Dr. Cronin on the night of May 4. SULLIVAN SQUARED HIMSELF. Sullivan, however, succeeded in squaring himself with the police in that none of his men who knew anything of the contract could have used that circum: e to decoy the doctor to his death. Mr. Sullivan was allowed to go. There are wild rumors to the effect that the police have just made the arrest of one or more persons in connection with the murder, but the officers at work on the case deny this. IT WAS CRONIN’S BODY IN THE TRUNK. Farther examination this morning goes to strengthen the theory that it was the body of Cronin, and not that of a woman, which was carried in the trunk. In addition to establishing the fact that the hair found in the trunk corresponded with that of Cronin’s: that the cotton-batting found in the trunk and that found with the body corresponded. it has been shown that the towel found wrapped around the head corresponded closel} with a shred of stuff found in the bunk. It stil! re- ms to connect the fragment of cloth itehed in the dead man’s hand with the piece trom which it ¥ Later.—Col. tion and w moment } claimed, 3 torn. . P.

There isthe body of Dr. Cronin, the victim of a most foul wful murder. Ican lay my hand upon the head of the man that instigated the crime. I can point him out and make no mistake.” Mr. Rend was questioned about this state- ment, but would only say that all he knew he would tell the — state's attorney. Half an hour later State’s Attorney I genecker and two of his assistants ar- rived. Judge Longenecker first examined the bloody trunk and the corpse of Cronin, and was then closeted for an hour with Mr. Rend. After the consultation the gentlemen would say no more than that several arrests would surely be made this afternoon. By noon to-day over 200 persons had identi- fied the body as that of Crovin, a FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Subject Discussed at the Presby- terian General Assembly To-day. New Yors, May The subject of “for- eign correspondence” was taken up by the Presbyterian general assembly at its session to- day. The moderator introduced Rey. Dr. Clark. of the reformed church, Philadelphia, who spoke of the work done in foreign lands by his church, The moderator thanked Dr. Clark for his attendance, and expressed the hope that he would live to see the day when the Retormed and Presbyterian churches would walk together. They were both Calvinistic and preached good doctrines. Rev. W. Procket, of the Waldensean church, in Row made a strong appeal to the assembly for terian church in Italy. He claimed that the Roman Catho- he ‘church was gradualiy discarding Christ He cited as an instance of this fact that on last Easter Sunday on the doors of all the Catholic churches in’ Rome were posted circulars in which were set forth _ the | duties of the church for Easter nday and the two days preceding; that in ose ‘circulars not once was the name of Jesus mentioned, but instead the names of Joseph and Mary, Speaking of the pope's jubilee, be said that when the President of the United States sent to the pope a beautifully-bound copy of the Constitu- tion of the United States, it was thought to be ‘Y appropriate present by the people of Much good work was being done in | y by the missionaries, and with more help better results could be accomplished. a Looking After the Liquor Dealers.

AMONG THEM WERE THE FAMOUS BROOKLYN PREACHER, T. DE WITT TALMADGE, PATRICK EGAN, THE NEW MINISTER TO CHILI, AND A NUMBER OF WELL-KNOWN POLITICIANS. There was snow at the White House to-day. Real snow. Beautiful snow. All through the night and all through the day blustering boreas swayed the trees in the grounds and, with unseasonably chilly fingers, dis- arranged the hirsute adornment on many « manly office-seeking face as it turned toward the Mecca of American citi- zenship, and just about 11 a.m, the snow ap- peared. He was from East Boston, Mass., weighed about 160 pounds, and had the initials E. A. before his name, His business was said to be political, but further particulars have not disclosed themselves. There were a good many callers around, but they came mostly in delegations, and were easily handled and summarily disposed of. For the individual office-seeker it’ was truly a cold day. BROOKLYN Was VERY NUMEROUS to-day. Senator Hiscock led a King’s county delegation of ten republican ward leaders in and persuaded the President to listen to them while they declaimed on the evils which may fairly be expected to afilict the republican party if the administration does not oust the democrats who hold oftice and draw salary in Brooklyn, Then when the practical politiciins had retired an audience was given to two more Brooklyni more fitting representatives of the City of Churehes than their _predecessors— q T. DeWitt ‘Talmadge and_ his so. From the President and tho library they were tonducted into Mrs, Harrison's presence, anda few minutes later were shaking hands with a Sran reporter. A TALK WITH THE BROOKLYN MINISTER. “Yes,” said the eminent divine, “we have seen the President and Mrs. Harrison and Stra. McKee. Everything appears to be lovely and peaceful.

Aman castina gigantic mold came out of the library in company with a pleasant featured gentleman who probably did not weigh half as much as his heroic-looking com- panion, They are of one mind on many subj The giant was John L. Finerty, the chi s friend was United States minister to Chili, w Finerty’s first appearance at the White H since the inauguration of President rrison, and he came to greet the new administration. He was as taciturn as he used to be loquacious. Minister Egan’s visit was for the purpose of saying “farewell.” He leaves for New York night and will sail for Aspinwall in a day or two. A BUFFALO DELEGATION NOT AFTER OFFICE. Buffalo was strongly represented. Congre man Farqubar headed an excursion party, Patrick E, It w: which simply wanted to shake nds with the President. The little crowd has been at Gettysburg dedicating he monument to the Wiedrich battery—the battery that held the key at Gettysburg right alongside of Kicketts—and listening to the oratory of epreseutative Farquhar. The party consists of Mears Philip Bachert, Ac Schell, Alderman — Keck, Henry J. Fox, a Schasler, William W. Letz and W. Mesdames § Beck, Le p hell, Fox. 3 Bachert “the daughter rg Be nd Schmidt the Mis: and Wiedrich, the latter being of the battery.” It is understood that there was not an office-sceker in the crowd, VIRGINIANS INVITE THE PRESIDENT. Fredericksburg, Va., had lots of people ready to say a good word for her at the White House to-day. Following the lead of Representative T. H. B. Brown came Mayor A Foster, John M. Gri Wroten, E. .

When \ ivered quite an eloquent « 5 which was an invitation to the President and all the members of his family to visit Fredericksburg in October next when the great agricultural fair will be in progress. Mayor " Rowe — followed with an” ad- ditional appeal, and then the President thanked them fi the _ cordiality of their invitation, “If,” said he, “I consulted the prompting of my heart I would say ‘yes’ instantly. As it is I will promise you to éon- sider the matter carefuily. and if ho very im- portant business comes to interlere I will try to attend.” Not a single member of the delegation even thought of mentioning politics and no one whispered “oflice.” It was a very weicome delegation. WESTERN MEN. Representative Conger called to discuss a few Towa matters in which he and some of his con- stituents are much interested. Ex-Representative Deuster, of Wisconsin, was accompanied by one of the now somewhat numerous Harrison family—S. A. Harrison, of Milwaukee.

It has been hinted around the White House that neither William Walter Phelps nor an Ohioan would be appointed United States min- ister at Berlin, but no one seems to have been prepared for the rnmor that Gen. Felix Agnus, the proprietor of the Baltimore Amer; an, was a favorite for the place.

From the Brooklyn Citizen. In the large cities the bill-board is rapidly de- clining in favor among theatrical advertisers.

THE MATERIAL EXCAVATED will be deposited on that side of the trench de- signated by the enginee When it is depos- ited on the foot-waiks at least one-half of the foot-way must be left open for travel. A car- riage-way will be left open at street intersee- tions, and the contractor will provide suitable bridges at his own expand to open the trench at such intersections. The contractor is en- joined to take special care not to break any sewer, water, or gas-pipe, nor their house con- nections. Should any break be made he must repuir it immediately, at his own expense, to the satisfaction of the engineer, and for that especial purpose he will employ a competent plumber along the line. All pipe crossing the trenches will be properly supported, WORK TO PE BEGUN BEFORE AUGUST 26. The excavation must be commenced on or before August 26, 1839, and must progress at the rate of 400 lineal feet a day or less, as the engineer ay direct. The United States re- serves the right to change the date of commence- ment toa later date in case there should be any unanticipated delay in the delivery of the pipe. sis done in order to inconvenience the public as little as practicable on account of unnecessary openings. The object of Col. Wilson is to have the trench stand open just as short time as possible, and the work will progress at a rate commensurate with the ability to lay the pipe. ROCK EXCAVATION. Proposals will be received atso much per cubic yard for trenching, estimating upon 36,500 cubic yards of materials other than rock, and about 1,500 yards of rock, and upon these quantities the estimate will be made in deter- mining the award of the contract; but Col. Wil- son states that it must be distinctly understood that the absolute quantity of rock is not now known and cannot be determined until the streets are opened. It has, for the purpose of putting matters on a definite basis, been estimated at one-thirtieth of the entire excavation, In blasting such rock as may be encountered redaced charges will be used, and every precaution employed to prevent damage to surrounding property or existing pipe, aud the right is reserved to regulate number, size and direction of the holes, the kind of explo- sives to be used and the method of tamping employed. TEN PER CENT RETAINED, A percentage of 10 per cent will bo retained from each ‘ment until the completion of the contract. Keasonable grounds for supposing that any bidder is interested in more than one bid for the same item will cause the rejection of all bids in which he is interested, “Bonds will be required for the faithful performance of each contract, in a sum equal to one-fourth of the amount to be paid under each contract, and in the proposals the guarantors must justify in the following sums: For vation, $8,000; for lead, $2,500; for jute, #200; for jointers, $100.

(Continued from second page, The diocesan convention re-assembled at 1:30 o'clock, and the discussion of Mr. Kirkus’ resolution was resumed, Mr. D. M. Thomas opened the discussion. He said that he opposed the change of the name for other reasons than those named in the res- olution. He thought there were many reasons why tne name ought not to be changed. and some who might not agree that the reason given in the resolution was sufficient might find other abundant reasons for agreeing with the purpose of the resolution. He therefore proposed an amend- ment striking out that part of the resolution assigning the reason. Rev. Dr. Nelson moved an amendment to the amendment, declaring that it was undesirable and inexpedient to agitate further the question of changing the name of the church. He earn- estly advocated the retention of the old name. He referred to the various names that might be suggested, and pointed out the objections to each, It could not be called THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF AMERICA. It was the Catholic church of the world. Should they call it merely Catholic? That name had been held by the Roman church, and become identified with it, Should the Protestant chureh lose its identity in this name? The name Protestant had been attached to the eburch for more than a bundred years, Its history, associ ms and doctrines were at- tached to that name, Dr. J. E. Grammar spoke at length in oppo- sition to the change of name. There many reasons why the name should not be changed. he thought, but none why it should be. Whea a man_ wanted to change his name it was generally because he had done something of which he was ashamed. Was this amed of its name or anything that it ELECTIC OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE.

He said that the name Protest- ant should be retained as long as the [i 2 church maintained doctrines to be protested against, ELECTION OF DEPUTIES.
