Jecting the testimony of such witness.” Instructions as to the form and manner of bringing in a verdict closed the judge's charge, and Attorney Donahue, ably defended the prisoner, shifted nervously in their seats, listening intently to the Instructions. Apparently the least concerned person In the court room was the prisoner at the by The big ex-detective sat in his usual seat, his over- coat thrown over his shoulders and his elbow rosting on_the table. He was a trifle paler than usual and the anxious lines upon his faco were a trifle more deeply drawn, but he showed no other evidence of the anxlety he must have felt as his trial reached its climax. Beyond the table at which the prisoner sat, shielded from the curious gaze of the spec- tators, sat the prisoner's wife, With Mrs. Coughlin were her two children. Before the opening of court the children had sat on thelr father's knee, stroking his face and prattling of childish doings. But now they sat quietly and awe-struck, their mother's anxiety and the solemnity of the scene chil- ling them into silence, WENT OUT TO DELIBERATE “The officers of the court will come for- ward and take charge of the jury,” sald Judge Tuthill, and the four bailifts raised thelr hands and took the oath. Then the twelve men filed out, and the court gave or« ders that the court. room be cleared, Coughlin in charge of bailiffs soon left the court room for the Jail. His father and wife, convinced that the wait might be a long and tedlous one, departed for home. Judge Tut. hill fled to his room immediately after the Jury had gone out, and the court room was feft untenanted except by newspaper men. The general feeling among those who wits nessed the close of the trial, seemed to be that the jury would disagree, though somo contended that Coughlin would get as high as twenty years. Nobody seemed to think he would hang, and very few that he would be sent up for life. Afternoon came, and the jury was still locked up. Nobody was allowed within 100 feet of the doorway. It was rumored at 20 that Mark Bruce had been made fore. man of the jury, and that two ballots had been taken, but with what result was un. known. Other rumors flew about the corridors thick and fast regarding the progress of the balloting in the jury room. The story most._often repeated, and that which re. ceived moro general belief, s that on the second ballot the jury stood nine for con. viction, and three for acquittal. It was also sald that subsequent ballots showed an unchanged result. SHORT SKETCH OF THE CASE. The Coughlin trial has been one of the most noteworthy in the criminal annals of the country. Like the former Cronin trial, it has been replete with sensational and re: markable episodes. Daniel Coughlin, an ex- city detective, was charged with complicity in the murder of Dr. P. H. Cronin, a promi- nent Irish physician. Cronin was well known in one faction of the Clan-na-Gael, and it was due to the evidence of mem: bers of an opposing faction during the former trial, that Coughlin, Martin Burke and Patrick O'Sullivan were convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The two latter died fn prison, and the defendant secured a new trial. Dr. Cronin disappeared on the evening of May 4, 1889. After a pro- tracted search his body, mutilated and de- composed, was found In a catch basin in the morthern part of the city. In the same see- tion of the city stands the little Carlson cot tage, where the theory of the prosecution places the murder. In the now concluded trial, after five weeks work, the jury was accepted on December 5, last. Bofore the jury’ was completed, several sensations were sprung in the shape of charges against jurymen, and three men who had been waccepted were excused from service. On December 11, the case was opened with the following jury: George P. Shay, Oscar P. Brooks, C. Holsman, Frank B. Lusk, O. S. Weinberger, Frederick G. Lane, Clark Bruce, Hiram Wadleigh, John F. Larson, Michael Conlon, Alfred F. Wood- ard and Oscar Benson, Assistant Prosecuting Atornays Bottum and Kickham Scanlan conducted the case for the state, with ex-Judge Wing and Attorney Donohue for the defense. One of the most important witness to appear for the proses cution was Mrs, Andrew Foy, wife of a -bricklayer. Mrs. Foy told of being present at numerous conforences between the de- fendant and her husband, and claimed to have heard numerous conversations between them and other men which pointed to a con spiracy to murder Dr. Cronin. Her story was sensational in the extreme, but the de- fense introduced testimony to show that Mrs. Foy had written to a former attorney for the defense, threatening to tell a damags ing story unless She were liberally rewarded. Her sanity was also called in question, and her intense hatred for her husband, to whom her testimony was most damaging, was shown. Her evidence was perhaps the strongest of any presented by the state, as she told a completo story of the Killing. Heor testimony was that Martin Burke, now dead, and the missing Cooney did the actual killing, while Iceman O'Sullivan stood in the yard and a policeman guarded the door. Coughlin, she said, arrived at the Carlson cottage shortly after the deed was done. In an attempted corroboration of Mrs Foy's story Mrs. Susie Norton was called and _testi- fled that she saw Foy and Coughlin togther on May 12, 1880, near the Carlson cottage. The defense, however, introduced testimony to show that on the day tn question Mrs, Nor- ton was sadly intoxicated. ANOTHER SENSATIONAL WITNESS, A new and sensational witness was intro duced by the state in the person of Frank Hardeen, an electrical engineer. In May, 1889, he was employed at the Edgewater electric light plant, past which the wagon bearing the remains of Dr. Cronin was as- sumed by the prosecution to have gone. Bardeen sald that about 2 o'clock on the dge Wing who have %0 SERIES NO. 2, March 9, 1894, DICTIONARY.

He turned on an electric search light, which was fixed above the door, and In the glare he saw, he sald, a wagon in which was a large trunk or chest Behind the wagon walked two men, he claimed, one of whom he recognized s Coughlin. Bardeen's tes- timony was savagely attacked by the de- fense. Tt was shown that there was no train at the hour he said he left Edge- water the morning after he saw the wagon, and evidence was Introduced to show that no moon was visible on the night In ques- tion, although he swore positively that he first’ saw the wagon and men by moonlight Much medical testimony was introduced b the defense to prove that Dr. Cronin’s death might have resulted from disease and not from the wounds found on his body, but its principal effort was directed toward estab- lishing an alibi. Three witnesses swore to having seen Coughlin during the evening when he was supposed to have been en- aged in the killing, and their testimony ag unshaken. Several days were consumed by the state in rebuttal evidence, and lengthy specches were made by counsel. Through the long trial the most intenze in- torest has been manifested and the court room has daily been thronged by spectators. Muiodid=Ch HELD UP THE CROWD, One Armed Man and Two Companions Do the Whole of the Work. ST. LOUIS, March 8.—A bold holdup oe- curred last night in a saloon on one of the principal streets of St. Louis. About 10:30 three men appeared in the saloon of John Carrol and Pat Herrigan on Broadway.

S WILL DRIVE THEM OUT, Citizens of Tannerville. Pa, Terrorized by a Band of Colored Workmen. STROUDSBURG, Pa,, March 8.—Armed with shot guns, twenty-five citizens of Tan- nerville yesterday marched to the camp of the colored men who were brought there a year ago to aid in constructing the new Wilkesbarre & Easton railroad and ordered them to leave. They told the colored men their presence in the country was no longer to be tolerated, and that they must go at once. Consternation reigned among the colored men. They promised to leave it they were given the money to pay railroad fare. The colored men are aimost destitute, and they have been growing desperate. There is great excitement among the people who live near the camp. Men as well as women are afraid to leave their houses at night. Many citizens have been accosted on the public highways and asked for bread. In every case the colored men who made the demand for bread declared that the per- son who refused to furnish food would be killed, TWO DARING ROBBERS. They Invade a Wichita Jewelry Shop and Hold Up the Proprietor. WICHITA, March 7.—At 6 o'clock this evening two men entered Pierce's jewelry store on Douglas’ avenue, one of the most public places in the city, and holding the proprietor up proceeded to help themselves to diamonds and gold watches.

After showing him some of the Interesting places along Clark street, the party went over to the West Side and subsequently re- turned to the South Side. For some time after reaching the South Side Flynn's mem- ory s a blank. The next thing he recollects, he says, was when he found himself flounde; ing about in the water in the Burlington slip at_ Sixteonth street. He yelled lustily for help and a watchman pulled him out.

The Merchants' Carnival opened at the Exposition hall last night under the auspices of the Presbyterian ladies, who will devote the proceeds to the malntenance of the Presbyterfan hospital. The hall was artistically decorated with bunting and the banners and signs of the various business firms which are represented in the carnival. The only ones which make any display of their wares are A. L. Root, grocer; H. J. Hefne company, pickles and fruit pre- serves; Misses Kahl & Johnson, millinery, and Orchard-Wilhelmy company, carpets. There was a fair atte though not so large as enterprise and the deserve The evening's an overture by dance last evening, the merits of the worth of the program exercises were opened by the Young Men's Christian Assoclation orchestra, which was followed by a grand march, led by Miss Van Court e Omaha guards then flied in and gave an exhibition drill under the command of Captain Mulford. The company presented an unusually fine appearance and went through the evolutions of the drill in a faultless manner, The next number on the program was a chorus, “A Wet Sheet and a Flowing Sea,” by the Apollo club. The chorus was sung, as might be expected, in a most charming manner, and so pleased was the audience that the club was compelled to repeat it. After an intermission and another over- ture by the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion orchestra came the most interesting part of the evening's exercises, the Colum- bian drill, by thirty-two young ladies and gentlemen, under the direction of Prof, Moran and led by Captain Mulford. Each of the young ladies represented some busi- ness house and was dressed in such a man- ner as to typify the business she repre- sente The young ladies have not had much time to practice the drill, and very few it any were prepared to see it given in such perfect style. They went through all the Intricate evolutions of this beautiful drill without a hitch or a balk of any kind, and as they exccuted some particularly difficult maneuver the audience heartily applauded The entire drill was gone through with without any word of command and was car- ried out with a perfection that was not to be expected of amateurs, and reflects great credit upon the young ladies and gentlemen and those who have drilled them. It was a beautiful sight to seo the gaily decked young ladies alternated with an equal number of the members of the guards, whose solid blue uniforms stood out in sharp contrast with their own gay attire, marching and wheeling under the glare of the gas lights. At the conclusion of the drill the company marched to the platform, where Miss Jessic Bowle recited an original poem setting forth the merits of the different firms the young ladies represented. The recitation was de- livered in pleasing style and she was com- pelled to bow her acknowledgments in re- sponse to persistent applause. THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED. The business houses taking part were rep- resented by the following young ladies: Browning, King & Co., Miss Jessie Bowl World-Herald, Miss Belle Snyder; Lamo- reaux Bros., Miss Sou Huntoon; Morse Dry Goods_company, Miss Myrtle Evens; W. S. Balduff, Miss Grace Leonard; Orchard-Wil- helmy 'Carpet company, Miss Carrie Alt- house; Lobeck & Linn Hardware company, Miss Lolo Rustin; A, Hospe, Miss Helon Getty; Sherman & McConnell, Miss Helen Fowler; A. Mandelburg, Miss Blanche Van Court; ‘Frank Wilcox company, Miss Zetta Churchill; Omaha Bee, Miss Poppy Hostette Misses Kahl & Johnson, Miss Madelin Chap- man; American Biscuit company, Miss Mamie McLain; A. L. Root, Miss Salome Eminger; Hess & Swoboda, Miss May Condon. The following members of the Omaha Guards also took part in the drill: C. D. Whitman, J. B. McDonald, Wilber Christian, C. B. Burmeister, L. B. Wood, Thorpe Me- Kell, B. P. Walker, William Pixley, W. B. Walker, A. J. Cooley, C. W. Anderson, Brower McCague; Addison Arter, W. A Murray, Roy Boudinot and Henry Allen. While all of the costumes were very good there were some that were partiéularly novel and striking and which attracted the attention of every one. Miss Carry Althaus, who repre- sented the Orchard-Wilhelmy company, wore a costume which was the perfection of artis- tic drapery, and the rich fabrics of which it was composed added to the beauty of the de- sign. Miss Blanche Van Court, who repre- sented A. Mandelberg, wore a dark costume, which was decorated with gold watches as pendants and chains of the same material, and in addition wore a number of ornaments which were set with precious stones. . Miss Poppy Hostetter, who represented the Omaha Bee, was costumed to represent the busy insect. A pair of gauze wings, a dress of gold and black and a piquant face made a representative of whom The Bee has every reason to feel proud. The most novel of ail the costumes was that of Miss Mamie Me- Lain, who was the representative of the American Biscuit company. It was a dress of blue, almost completely covered with the products of that company’s factory. Crackers of all kinds, cookies, cakes and biscuit were attached to the dress in bewildering array. After the Columbian drill Mrs. Willkelm and Miss Roeder and Messrs. Walker and Pennell sang “The Star Spangled Banner' very beautifully. This evening will be the last, and in addi- tion to the drill which was held last evening there will be a contest among the members of the Omaha Guards for the gold medal awarded to the one most proficient in_the military drill. The medal fs the one which is contested for monthly in the armory of the company, but the contest will take place this month at the carnival this evening. The medal is now held by First Sergeant Cone, but several members of the company have been drilling faithfully during the past month and will make a desperate effort to- night to wrest from him his honors.

Tho shots went wild and all missed Hale, but one struck a man in the audience named John Russell, in the neck, slightly wounding him.

Begining to Crawfish. The prospect of a speedy settlement of the transcontinental rate war, as outlined in The Bee, was the subject of considerablo discussion about railroad headquarters y terday, the roads directly Interested being quite willing to call a halt in the game of freezeout, as the business they are now doing I8 ruinous to a degree. While there has been a fair demand on_the part of the public for tickets to the Pacific coast, it has not come up to the expectations of even the most optimistic of general passenger agents. Wednesday the Burlington and Unlon P cific did a fair coast business, but at no time were the city ticket agents compelled to mop their brows on account of the push for round trip or single tickets to California. A railroad man stated that the cut had come entirely too late to be of any practical value to the railroads. “Had it occurred in Decem- ber or January, when we had our coldest weather, there might have been a fair west- bound movement, Now business men are engaged getting their spring stocks in shape, while the farmers are already commencin their spring sowing. The Southern Pacific and Atchison have realized that the cut came at the wrong time, and, in view of the fact that there is little business, they have com- menced to crawfish. My advice to people who are holding off for still lower rates is to get to California as soon as possible on the present rates, o{heriise they will wake up some morning ayd find all the old rates restored and peace hgvering over the railroad camp.” e For Stealing Chickens. Last night Detectives Hayes and Hudson arrested John Lewis as a chicken thief. A few days ago the,hgnnery of J. Hansen of the Danish Pioneer, Tyenty-fourth street and Patrick avenue, was,broken into and about $30 worth of chickors taken away. M Hansen suspected Lawis, and though he cou not say for sure;that he was the proper party he filed a complaint against him. A search warrant was procured and yesterday the detectives entered the shanty of Lowis. A choice lot of fowls were discovercd, and among them about twelye that belonged to Mr. Hansen. Leyis, clalms that he bought the chickens for spéculating purposes and that he can prove’ it by bills in his posses- sion.

The free list Is not so much changed as it had been supposed it would be and the ab- stractions from it are far more numerous than the additions, The date when the fre list shall go into effect is changed from June 1, 1894, to June 30, 1894, Apples of all kinds are stricken from the free list and placed on the dutiable list, as are also beef, mutton and pork, and bone char, suitable for use in deodorizing sugar. Bituminous coal, shale slack and coke are transferred to the dutia- ble list, leaving anthracite on the free list Cocoa fiber 18 made dutiable. Diamonds and other precious stones, rough or uncut, are added to the free list. Floor matting is mado dutiable. Dates, cocoanuts, Brazil nuts, pe: nuts and gambier are also taken from the free list. Cod liver ofl is made free of duty. Salted guts are taken from the free llst. Iron ore is taken from the free list, and also olives and orchids, azaleas and palms, and other plants used for forcing under glass for cut flowers. Double and twisted silk, or silk advanced in manufacture in any way, to pay a duty. Sugars are to be moved to the duti- able list. There is a touch of reciprocity in a proy attached to the paragraph admitting plows, harrows, harvesters and other agricultural implements free, the proviso being to the effect that all the articles mentioned in this paragraph ‘‘when imported from any coun iry which lays an import duty on like arti- s coming from the United States shall bo subject to the duties existing priof to the passage of this act.” The free list also contains new paragraph: Any cattle, horses, sheep or other domestic animals which _have strayed across the boundary line into any for- ©lgn country, or where such domestic animals have been or may be driven across such boundary line by the owner for pasturage purposes, the same may be brought back to the United States free of duty, under regu. lations to be prescribed by the secretary of the treasury.” The provision for the free admission of horses for tomporary exhibition under tho auspices of racing assoclations is eliminated The administrative features of the bill are substantially ldentical with those of tho ouse bill. This insures extensive changes from the present law, as the house bill mado a comprehensive revision of the entire ad. ministration system. The changes made by the senate are mainly of a technical character, suggested by the experts of the treasury for the further per. focting of the administration of the tarift act. In estimatipg duties on an article not specially enumerated in the bill, the senate bill says It shall pay the lowest rate on the article it resombles, Instead of the highest, as in the Wilson bill. The exception in the Wilson bill as to personal effects not subject to duty, Is en larged to read: “And personal and house hold effects specifically enumerated in the new list of this aet.” profits the following Was # Baso Slander.

Congressmen and Substitute for ¢ WASHINGTON, March 8.~The proceed Ings of the senate committee on finance were in the main informal. Coples of the bill were handed to all the members, and the repub. licans, who had not had any previous oppor- tunity to sae it, glanced through it curfously There was some discussion of the time for consideration of the bill b the full committee, the republican members saying they would desire a reasonable period, and the democratic members expressed them selves as willing to grant that without cavil Saturday next at 10:30 a. m. was set for the next meeting, at which the republicans will be given an opportunity to examine the de tails of the bill, and will probably be able to /say what time they will require. It is that they will ask for an entire after the next me nd prob- more. The democ whatever delay may oc he: chargeable to the republics must asume the re nsibilit r Allison remarked in committec 1 of the changes in the bill re »d by the hasty inspection he was able to give it, and commented favorably upon some of the changes in the administrative features, Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the tariff subcommittee, was of the opinion that it would be shown that the bill would produce a revenue of about $447,000,000 or $480,000,000 without taking into account the increased amount which will be the result of the reductions in tariff rates mad Senator Caffery, who, with his late col league, Scnator White, has led the fight for a sugar. duly, expressed himself as satisfied in a modified degree with the action of the committee. “The rate fixed upon refined sugar is," he said, “better than any official proposition that had heretofore been made to us, and, while we have not received all that we thought we were entitled to in the way of protection, we feel justified by the re- sult in having made the fight.” Tn the committee this afternoon, Senator Aldrich, upon glancing at the su chedule, remarked that the rates fixed gave the re- finers an_advantage of eighteen points, but Senator Vest took exception to the statement, declaring it gave an advantage of only twelve points, or .12 of a cent. Senator Brice is not altogether satisfied Wwith the bill, but will no doubt support the measure after trying to have it amended in some particulars. HILL DECLINED TO TALK. Senator Hill declined to say anything on the bill until he made his speech. Senator Gorman said he had not examined the bill and only knew of a few changes “We cannot say much about the Dill,” he added, “until we ascertain what has been done. I learn a duty has been put on iron ore. It remains to be seen whether suffi- cient corresponding increases have been made in the iron schedule, and on that point I am not informed.” Senators Allison and Aldrich, republican members of the finance committee, said they had no opportunity to examine the bill so as to make any comment upon it. The repub- licans, as a rule, decline to express any opinions for the same reason. The populist senators are also reticent, saying they have been more interested in the silver. debate than in the tariff bill. Senator Kyle of Sonth Dakota asserts ho knows that the provision in the bill which abrogated the treaty with Hawail would cer- tainly be stricken out, as there were enough democratic senators to vote with the repub- licans to carry such an amendment. Pacifie coast senators generally express themselves against this feature of the bill, because so many people of the coast have large inves ments in Hawailan sugar plantations and the commerce of the const has been greatly aided by this sugar industry. Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas of the ways and means committee, and who acted as a licutenant of Mr. Wilson in con- structing and urging the Wilson bill, said: “I have only been able to glance at the bill, “and of course I am not prepared to speak fully as to its merits.” AMONG THE CONGRESSMEN. Ex-Speaker Reed, the republican head of the ways and means committee, said: “The bill is much worse than when it left the house and it is much more important for tho interest of the country that it should De beaten. The poor little plea on which Mr. Wilson thought to justify his action has disappeared. ~ Free raw material for New England has yanished.” Representative Whiting of the committee said: “I think the bill is an improvement on the one passed by the house.” Representative Bynum of the committee said: “The bill as reported seems to be on the general line of the.Wilson bill, but after glancing over the changes I do not think there will be any serious dificulty in the two houses agreeing upon any dif- ferences that may oceur.’ Representative Hopkins of the committee said: “The scnate committee seems to have surrendered to the trusts.” Representative Montgomery of Kentucky The extension of the bonding period to eight years will give general satisfaction to the distiller: Representative Payne of the said: “The senate committee has made the Dill worse than it was before by substitut- ing specific for ad valorem duties through- out." Mr. Springer, chairman of the ways and means committee of the last house, 1s much displeased at the action of the committee restoring the duty on wool “So far as wool and the woolen schedule are con- cerned,” said he, “I thofight that had been settled by the American people. A free wool bill was passed by the last congress, and specifically endorsed by the national convention at Chicago. Here is a pledge made In terms, which it is now proposed to violate. The house will never agree to it, nor to the duties on,coal and iron t00." The Louisiana representatives did not share in the general opinion that the sugar interest had secured exceptional concessions by the senate tariff bill.
