COUGHLIN ACQUITTED, | Am Alleged Marderer of Dr. Cronin Once More a Free Man, The happiest man on earth at 4:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon was Dan Coughlin, who for three months has been on trial at Chicago, charged with the murder of Dr. | Cronin on the night of May 4, 1889. The | jury was out about four hours and a half. When the clerk read out the words, “We, the jury, find the defendant, Dan Coughlin, not guilty,” a warm flush went over his white. A scene of almost unparalleled excitement occurred in the court room. The newly ac- quitted man was surrounded by triends, who insisted on shaking his hand, while others stood up and yelled as loud as they could. Hats were thrown into the air, handkerchiefs were waved and a wild rush was made for the door. The prisoner work- ed his way up to the jury tox and shook { reach.

The passage of Mr. Piggott’s bill, through which it is made a lawless act to haul seine or set trap or gill nets in the upper Potomac for a period of ten years, in order to allow the recuperation of the finny tribe’s numbers, has caused vexation among the fishermen of town. They had prepared for a good onslaught, and now all arrrange- ments must be changed. The work will have to be carried on away from home, and under less comfortable surroundings. Some had even gone so far as to build and stock shanties in the vicinity of the Chain bridge in expectation of a busy season in that part of the river. There is no doubt, though, conservative fishermen say, that the upper Potomac’s fish supply has been in great danger of al- most absolute destruction by the heavy catches that have been made the past sca- sons, and in order to preserve the lishing industry a measure like Mr. Piggoct’s most essential and most commendable. On the inconvenience of a few of today will be built the prosperity of many ten years hence. Surpliced Choir. Palm Sunday, the 18th, has been fixed upon for the first appearance at Christ Church of the newly organized surpliced choir. The surplices have arrived from England, where they were made, and are marvels of workmanship. There are thirty-five voices in the new choir, all fresh and rich. They were selected from twice that number There has been some opposition to the surpliced choir at the church, but it is thought that this will be removed upon the entrance of the chor- isters. They will be reinforced by the present excellent quartet, providing vocal music for the congregation on Palm Sun-/| day. In addition to the appearance of the choir the Rev. Dr. Alex. Mackay-Smith of Washington and Maj. Robert Stiles of Richmond, Va., will make ad- dresses to the congregation. Mt. Tabor Election. The annual election of Mt. Tabor Church officers has taken place, the result being us follows: Stewards—Messrs. Theo. Barnes, L. P. Burriss, E. C. Ford, J. H. Chamber- lain, Wm. Conlin, Geo. P. Hoskinson and E. Harry Myers; trustees—Theo. Barnes W. F. Hunt, E. C. Ford, J. H. Chamber- lain, W. Conlin and E. Harry Myers; treasurer, Theo. Barnes; secretary, Geo. P.. Hoskinson; organist, Miss Teresa | Thomas; assistant organist, Miss Grace Hess; delegate to the annual conference, E. C. Ford, and alternate, Geo. P. Hosktt son. Mr. E. C. Ford was also elected class leader. Real Estate. The three brick dwellings numbered 3323, 3825 and 3327 N street, being a part of the estate of the late Michael McGowan, were yesterday sold at public auction to Mr. H. P. Gilbert for $15,000, The Jones house at the corner of Sist and | P streets was withdrawn at $9,000. Strichen With Paralysis. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Margaret Byram of 30th street was stricken with paralysis, and two hours later she died. She had not been sick, and her sudden afflicticn was therefore doubly surprising and distressing. The previous day she had shopped in Washington. Mrs. Byram was the wife of Mr. Robert Byram. A Sudden Freak. A woman named Annie Curren was yes- terday selzed with a wild desire on Jeffer- son Street to kill or injure some one, and seeing John Terry at a hydrant with a pitcher, she snatched it from his hand and broke it over his head.

Chief Engineer Gowan of the wrecked corvette was the first witness. His testi- mony was to the effect that when the Kearsarge grounded on the reef there were 137 tons of coai in her bunkers. Within five seconds after he had received the order to reverse the @ngine he said it was done. In an hour and ten minutes after this fires were under the four boilers and the blowers were at work, but all was of no avail. Navigator Lyman requested the privilege to add to his testimony, which was granted. He sasd that he desired to par- ticularly impress upon the court the Zact that the reason why he did not take the sight of the star Polaris on the evening of the wreck was because the conditions were unfavorabie. The judge advocate then announced that the court had finished taking testimony, and that it would report its findings te Secretary Herbert. a WITHDRAWING THE TROOPS.
