Attention for Months. CHICAGO, Dec. 17. —J udge McConnell made his appearance in his private chambers at 1:50 o’clock. A rumor found its way from the other side of the building that the jury ‘ had at last agreed u p o n a verdict. Extraordinary pre- cautions were at once taken in and without the court r O o m . Orders were issued that no one but representa- tives of the press _ .. a n d counsel en- ‘ ‘1 gaged in the case ‘ ‘should be given admittance, a n d to the fifty or more reporters that occupied the benches there were as many Or more police officers in plain clothes. Some slight delay was created by the absence of Counsellor For- rest and a special messenger was dispatched for him and upon his arrival at 2:25 p. m. Judge McConnell took his seat upon the bench and the c curt was declared to be in session. How the Prisoners Looked. One moment later the five prisoners were ushered in over the iron bridge leading from the jail. Lawyer John F. Beggs, with a deathly pallor on his face and his bme eyes staring as though protruding from the bleached bones of a skeleton, h e a (1 ed the line. Behind him came Dan Coughlin, with a half nerv- ous, half cynical . smile upon his face. - It was apparent to every obser ver ' that he had nerved himself for the or- deal. Next came (YSullivan, his jaws compressed O’SULLIVAN. BURKE and the fingers of his right hand tugging nerv- ously at his mustache. Martin Burke, close behind him, had the same look of stolid in- difference that he has worn throughout the trial. Little Kunze, the last in the line, was as usual the comedian of the prisoners, and smiled and waved his hands at the officers 'and newspaper men as he entered the room. As soon as the defendants had taken their seats three deputy sheriffs took up a position behind each chair, and at the same moment about fifty Officers entered the room by the main door, and formed a complete barricade between the prisoners’ row and all means of exit from the room. The Jury Enter the Court Room. At 2:29 the iron doors leading to the jail were again swung open, and while the word went around the audience “Here they come," the members of the jury filed into the room. Every man had on his overcoat and carried his hat in his hand, and this was at- once ac- cepted as conclu- .Io‘r V , been reached. The l" 3;) twelve good men and true were cs- oorted to t h o i r mats, and the roll was called. Perfect silence prevailed. “Civil" sive ev1dence that ‘\§l\\‘\‘i)b,)2} ’ ‘-\ a verdict had at last ZWI / Even the judge,_ L»? [1' usually calm and H" I' collected, nervous- ly mopped the per- COUGHLIN- spiration. from his brow. The prisoners maintained the same demeanor which they had worn when entering the court room, except that Burke chewed with redoubled energy at his quid of tobacco, while O’Sullivan ran his fingers into his hair with a despera- tion that threatened to tear it out by the roots. The voice of Foreman Clarke came out clear and distinct, and with a triumph- ant ring in it when he answered, “We have,” in response to the question of the clerk of the court as to whether he and his colleagues had agreed on a verdict. A Deathlike Stillness. Rising in his seat he handed a folded pa— per to the clerk. The stillness at this mo- ment was not merely oppressive, but pain- ful. Every eye was turned upon the five men whose fate in another moment would be determined. Forrest cast a glance of en- couragement toward his clients, as much as tosay: “Be brave.” Foster from his chair, a couple of feet distant, threw a few words in a whisper to Beggs. In another moment the voice of the clerk, clear and distinct, , rang out on the air: “We find the defendant, John F. Beggs, not guilty, as charged in the indicianent.” There was a buzz in the court room as thougha thousand bated breaths had been let loose. The blood rushed to the face of the lawyer prisoner, and in a second it was of carmine hue’. His right arm, which had been resting on the railing, fell to his side, and his entire frame shook like that of a man afflicted with the palsy. Three Years for Kalle. All this was but the work of a. moment. Again the voice of the clerk rang out: “We find the. defendant, John Kunze, guilty of manslaughter, and fix his [maltyat three years in the penitentiary."- T’he little comedian simply smiled and showed his teeth. To all appearances the verdict at the moment suited as well as an acquittal. There wm a shortpause before the clerk resumed. No doubt remained but that the three remain- ingdcfendauts had either been condemned NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15‘, 1889. to die on the seaflold, orto suflfer a living death. The eyes of Coughlin, Burke and O’Sulll- van were riveted on the reader while the convulsive movements/Of the jaws showed that each man was making a superhuman effort to control his feelings. Imprisonment for Life. For the third time be cleared his throat and proceeded: “We find the prisoners, Daniel Coughlin, Martin Burke and Patrick O’Sullivan, guilty of murder as charged in the indictment, and fix their punishment at imprisonment in the penitentiary for the terms of their natural lives" They Thought Culver Would Go llIad. It is stated on undoubted authority that but for the fear of Juror Culver going mad in the jury room the other eleven would have stood out indefinitely for hanging Coughlin, Burke and O’Sullivan; 2-1 years‘ imprisonment for Beggs and 14 years for Kunze. ' Forrest llIovcs for a New Trial. As soon as the verdict was rendered the deputies clustered around the prisoners and efl'ectually prevented any attempts to com- municate with them. Chief of Police Hub< bard stood at the rear of the deputies with several Oflicers in citizens’ clothes, while Sheriff Matson stood at the right hand corner of the benclf, close by the judge. Attorney Forrest immediately entered a motion for a new trial for Burke and Coughlin, and. in the absence of Attorney Donahue, for O’Sul- livan and Kunze. Beggs Set at Liberty. The court then thanked the jury and, turning to the state’s attorney 'said: “As to the prisoner Beggs, of course, he will stand discharged, as there is nothing against him, I believe. The jury will also be discharged and the prisoners remanded to jail.” “Before the prisoners are remanded,” said Mr. Forrest, jumping from his seat, “I de- sire to make a motion. I thought I would wait until the jury was discharged before moving to have a. day set for the argument of a motion for a new trial." Kunze Breaks Down. At this stage of the proceedings the defend. ant Kunze was loud in his manifestations of his grief, while tears flowed copiously down his cheeks. Between his sobs and cries he was heard to say: “I am innocent, God knows, of this. I never was at Lake View If I have got to suffer three years’ imprison- ment for this it is a shame. Longenecker got witnesses to swear that I was in Lake View.” At this point Kunze’s grief became too great for speech. After a long argument Judge McConnell set Jan. 10 as the day for filing a motion for a new trial, the matter to be considered by the court on the 13th of January. Judge McConnell then announced that the grand jury would stand adjourned until Jan. 13, and left the bench. Beggs “’as Surprised. After the jury had gone Beggs held an agreeable levee with the newspaper men of his acquaintance. To the surprise of all he stated that he had looked for a disagree- ment. He said he could make no explana- tidn of his reasons now further than to say that he was possessed of information which led him to believe that the jury would di- vide on the question of guilt, and that he would explain further some time in the fdture. After the date for which the argu- ment for a new trial will be made was fixed, the prisoners, including Beggs, were hurried from the court room to the jail. They were surrounded by detectives and bailiffs, every man of whom was thoroughly armed. As Coughlin passed along he sighted. some old friends in the crowd and he saluted them with a wave of his hand. Prisoners and guards tramped noisily along, the big steel gate of the jail swung open, and the entire party passed inside. Burke was hurried to the boys' department. Coughlin, O‘Sullivan and Kunze were taken to their cells and locked up. Beggs paid a brief visit to his cell to gather up some trinkets he had there, and then he hurried down to the office where a moment later he was literally in the hands of his friends. History of the Case. A brief history of the celebrated case is as follows: Dr. P. H. Cronin, a prominent ~ Irish agitator, dis- appeared in Chi- cage on the night of May 4, 1889. He was last seen going to attend an al- leged patient, to whom he had been called by a messen- ger bearing the card of P. O’Sulli— van. an iccman, with whom he had LONGENECKER. m a d e a peculiar contract to attend employee a, short time be- fore. The same night a. mysteriOus wagon carrying two men and a big trunk was driven rapidly in the direction of Lincoln park. The trunk was found the next day thrown away and empty except for some bloody cotton. Two weeks later Cronln’s body was found in a sewer in Evanston avenue. It was fully identified, and evidence was found to connect it with the bloody trunk mystery. The body showed that murder had been done. Detectives upon the case were in- formed that Cronin had information con- cerning a certain embezzlement by officers of the Clan-na-Geel. They worked upon the theory that his death was the result of a conspiracy to “mauve" him on this ac- count. The five men in whose case a. ver- dict has just been rendered were first ar- rested ou suspicion, then heid as evidence accumulated. ' Around the prisoners the prosecution suc- ceeded in weaving a. chain of damnatory cir- cumstances. The famous white home and the man who hired - it were traced, and the Carbon cottage was finally proven to be the scene of the killing. Dr. Cronin’s enemies— members of Camp SOOf the Clan-no Gaol—had looked on him as a spy ., and threatened his FORREST-- life, and to them the crime was natural- ly attributed. Burke was captured in Win- nipeg, on his way to Europe, and Cough- lin, a detective, who at first worked on the case, was lodged in jail. Kunze was un- earthed in a low lodging house. Beggs, who was a prominent man in local afiairs, gave himself up. Beggs was senior guardian of Camp 20 be- fore a secret committee from which the dead man was alleged to have been tried and con- demned. The prosecution claims that evi- dence which Would have incriminated Beggs was excluded by the court. The actual trial of the five men began only after an unpre- cedented long time consumed in getting a jury, and lasted four months. It is asserted that startling developments will yet come, showing that the convicted men were but the tools of others in higher places. Judge Longenecker and Attorney Forrest, whose pictures are given above, were re- spectively the leading lawyers for the prose- cution and defense. BRAZIL’S NEW REPUBLIC. Five Hundred People Reported Killed at Bahia. ‘ I ENEMIES T0 LIBERTY DISAPPEAR. Viscounte Preto’s Manifesto t9 the People of Brazil—De Gomn's VButtons—Five Officers Were Shot to Death—The Czar Refuses to Recognize the Republic. LISBON, Dec. iii—Viscount de Ouro Preto, the Brazilian imperial prime minister, has issued a manifesto to the people of Brazil. He says it was impossible to crush the plot- ters, as the government could not rely upon either the officers or soldiers, and was be trayed by the leaders of the army and navy, including the minister of war, Marcaju. The ministry continually received assu- rances of loyalty from various military officers, who thus sought to mask the con- spiracy against the throne. He “his a Traitor. - “Marcaju,” says Preto, ”acted through- out the part of a traitor to his colleagues. He even Went so far, under the guise of official business, as to conduct me to the place where I was arrested.” Preto proceeds to describe the treatment he received in prison. He declares that a platoon of soldiers was kept in readiness to shoot him if his friends offered an armed resistance. In conclusion, the ex-prime min- ister appeals to the people to exercise their freedom of choice at the coming elections. He counsels his supporters not to surrender, but to vote for all of his friends who may become candidates. Citizenship in Brazil. The Brazilian consul has received a tele- gram from Rio announcing that a decree has been issued declaring that all foreigners resi- dentin Brazil, are citizens of the republic from the date of the proclamation thereof, and that all foreigners shall in future be regarded as Brazilian subjects, and shall possess every right except that. of becoming chief of state, after two years’ residence. THE NEW REPUBLIC. A Report That Five Hundred People \l’cre Killed at Bahia. NEW YORK, Dec. lb.-—The steamship Hor- rox, from Brazil, has just arrived at Brook" lyn. The Horrox was at Santos when the news of the deposition Of Emperor Dom Pedro was first received there. The situa- tion was accepted without any excitement and very little dissatisfaction was mani- fested. From Santos the Horrox sailed to Rio de J aneiro, where she remained two days. When the officers of the vessel went ashore there they heard many rumors which indi- cated that the people had not received the news of the revolution with the same degree of calmness that characterized the actions of the inhabitants of Santos. One man named De Goma, a collector of customs, had refused to acknowledge the authority of the republican government, and would not re- move from his uniform the buttons which were stamped with the imperial crown. A party of republicans surrounded De Gama’s residence and threatened his life, but he held out against them for ten days, when he succumbed to the inevitable and remoied the obnoxious buttons from his clothing, and also surrendered the flag of the empire, which he had at first declined to give up. He was then permitted to resume the duties of his office. A number of others who held oflice under the imperial government were allowed to continue their official duties. On the second day of the revolution a cyper dispatch received at Rio Janeiro an- nounced that there had been an uprising at Bahia, and that five hundred people had been killed. The government took charge of the telegraph lines and the story of the Bahia trouble was soon after contradicted. The republicans had left no stone unturned to accomplish their purpose. So complete were their arrangements that when the re- public was announced. all of the imperial war vessels which for weeks had been lying in the harbor had been so gotten out of the way as to be useless in any operation which might have been contemplated against the revolutionists. Besides Collector De Gama eight officers had refused to submit to the republicans, and there seemed to be some mys- tery as to their fate. One report was to the effect that while attempting to escape to an English steamer they had been captured by the republicans and incarcerated in a prison on one of the islands in the harbor, where they were afterward secretly shot to death. Russia Refuses Recognition. BERLIN, Dec. 16.—A private telegram re- ceived here from St. Petersburg says that Russia has broken off all diplomatic rela- tions with the Brazilian minister, telling him that the czar will never recognize the present government of Brazil. Governor HillAppoints a Republican. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 17.—Govornor Hill has appointed John A. Sleicher, of Albany, as civil service commissioner in place of Treadwell, resigned. Mr. Sleichcr was for- . merly editor of The Evening Journal, and . is now editor of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly. He is a Republican in politics, as the statute required a Republican to be . upon the board. A New York Assignment. NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-—Mansell & Blume, importers of sponges at '31 William street. has made a general assignment, giving a preference of $4,397. 71 to the infant children of W'il'liam Bernbanm for money loaned. .

PORTLAND, Dec. 15.—At the Indian cem- etery on Indian Hill, near this place, the other day, John R. Lewis dug up a red man whose grave was liberally provided with culinary utensils. There were several bot— tles, an iron kettle with a copper ladle, a brass kettle and two Dutch mugs. The hu- man remains, which were a skull and a. dozen very fine teeth, were evidently those of a great chief; but what business the Dutch mugs had in the grave is a mystery to every one. Curiosities. HARTFORD, Dec. 15.—-A dispatch to The New York Sll‘l from this place says: It has been a great week for curiosities in Hartford county. On Monday Mr. Frank E. Kilbourn, of Newington, found a dande- lion in full blossom growing thriffily out of doors. This same man has a curiosity in the shape of a month old white rabbit, which is no larger than a.butternut, and weighs an ounce and a half. In the outskirts of this city on Wednesday several specimens of “bluet” or “eyebright” (Houstouia Coerulea) were found in bloom in the open air. Down in Stratford on Monday L. B. Fair- child captured a lively and hungry grass~ hopper. Mr. L. Gladding, of Berlin, drove into Hartford on Thursday night with a load of live geese. Among the twenty or more was a large wild goose, which Gladding had caught by tying kernels of corn to a string. He said that he had captured and sold this fall quite a number of wild geese taken in this way. A Broad street school teacher, who, it is presumed, doesn’t think the World’s fair ought to be held in Chicago, has excited a great deal of unfavorable comment by the method which she used to punish an unruly boy. She kept him after school and com- polled him to write the word “Chicago” 1,200 times. Eliphalet Terry’s Bright Idea. NEW HAVEN, Dec. 15.—-The recent big fires and fire losses throughout the country bring vividly to the minds of insurance men in Hartford the anniversary of the great confla— gration which occurred in New York city fifty-four years ago to-morrow. On Dec. 16, 1835, the old mail coach carried to this city the news of the great fire in New Yor‘ To every insurance man ruin seemed inevitable. Eliphalet Terry was president of one of the Hartford companies. There was not suffi- cient funds in his company’s treasury to meet a third of its losses, and the other com- panies were no better off. The directors were at their wits’ end as to what course to take, but while they were walking the floor wringing their hands and groaning, Terry had quietly developed a scheme. , Mr. Terry started next morning at break of day for New York by stage coach. The majority of the New York companies had been wiped out. Terry then proceeded to put his well laid plan into execution. This ‘_ was to publish notices throughout the city of New York that his company, together with another Hartford concern which he authentically represented, would pay all their losses immediately without the usual three months’ grace, charging from 6 to 10 per cent. only for these immedipte pay- ments. This required strong nerve and con- fidence to do, but he did it. The scheme worked. The call for pay- ments began to come in, and he quickly re- sponded. Owing, however, to the slow prog- ress made in transportatlon in those days, before his companies had been drawn up to an embarrassing degree, New York prOperty holders hastened to insure at the offices of the two Hartford companies which Were keeping good their word, and money was thus made easy and plenty with them. The premiums from New York alone were more than sufficient to meet the lomes in the city by the Hartford companies, and this gave the insurance business a grand boom, the ef- fects of which have been increased every year. The Races on the Thames. NEW HAVEN, Dec. 15.—-It already seems certain that there will be more college boat races on the Thames river in J une than ever before, despite the fact that the Yale ’var— sities are inclined to frown upon all events other than their annual tilt with Harvard as “side shows.” True, theirs is the great race of the year, but there is no doubt that the struggle for supremacy on the river be» tween the shells of other colleges have also come to stay. The latest report in college sporting circles here is to the effect that the Atalanta boat crew of New York are anxious to enter in some of the college contests at New London next spring. Old Yale men predict that the college oarsmen will not depart from the custom which has hitherto obtained at New London of pulling against college rivals only. Yale men claim that the chances of their ’varsities for victory over Harvard have not been poorer for years, as practically a new crew will have to be developed before next June. Not more than three of last year’s crew will row the coming season. Al- len, Brewster and Rogers of the old men, and Nowell, Harrison, Heffelfinger, Ferris and Heyworth may make up the crew. There are many candidates. ' Nothing has been heard from the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania as yet, except that it is generally understood she will enter in three races. Supposing then that Yale should consent to row Cornell, which is now thought hard- ly likely, the year 1890 would see an unpre- eedentedly large number of events on the Thames. Including that race, the fixtures, asunofllcially calculated upon here, would be as follows: 1. Yale-Harvard university, four miles, straight- away. ' B. Yale-Cornell university, four miles, straight- a . a't'l.’ll'niversity of Pennsylvania-Columbia-Cor- nell, three miles, straightaway. 4. HarvardColumbia university, four miles, straightaway. ,_ 5. Harvard-Columbia freshmen, two miles, Mickie“!- o. Yale-Harvard freshmen, two miles, straight u‘;.ayYo.le-University of Pennsylvania freshmen, two miles, straightaway. It be! course probable that some of these races will be abandoned and that others willbo pulledin their places, but therois , little or no doubt that the coming month of June will witnem more aquatic contests at New London than have ever been seen there in any pref-ms thirty days. . gfi LAID AT REST. Funeral Services of the Late Jeflerson Davis. NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 11.—The funeral ob- sequies of the late Jefferson Davis occurred here today and were witnessed by the largest throngs of people the streets of New Orleans ever held. The funeral cortege was without question the longest and most imposing pro- cession of the kind ever gathered together in the south. Thousands of troops and civil- ians were in line, and ex-Confederate veter' ans as well as ex-Union soldiers marched in the same imposing line. Every prominent building and business house in the city, all the public buildings, except the custom house and mint, were handsomely draped with the emblems Of grief. Many private residences also showed mourning colors. All last night and up to a late hour this morning incom ing trains were packed with spectators, and the streets were well nigh impassible. Assembling between 11 and 11:30 a. m., ' representatives of the clergy of all denomi— nations met in one of the committee rooms The Episcopal clergy, in the vestments of their office, preceded by the choir 'of St. Paul‘s Episcopal church, cansisting of thirty men and boys robed in cassock and surplice, pro ded to the entrance of the hall front: ing . Charles street in processional order- The funeral service at the city hall began promptly at 11:30 o’clock. This portion of the ceremony was under the direction of Right Rev. J. N. M. Gallagher, Episcopal bishop of Louisiana. The religious services were of a. highly impressive character. Rev. E. J. Martin, of Grace church, having read the psalm for the day, Dr. T. R. Markham Presbyterian, then read the lesson for the occasion, taken from St. Paul’s Second Epistle to the Corinthians. Succeeding this, Bishop Gallagher gave a brief ex tempore address. Undef- the direction of Choir Master Sims the choir at this point sang Kent’s funeral anthem, “Yea, Through the Valley of the Shadow.” Two prelates of the Episcopal church—— Bishop Gallagher and .Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson, of Mississippi—and reprmenta— tives from the Catholic, Presbyterian, Metho- dist, Congregational, Baptist, Lutheran and other denominations were in attendance and took part in the sacred offices. The choir having arranged themselves at the head of the casket, the bishop and clergy in their appointed places, Rev. A. G. Bake- well, rector of Trinity chapel, commenced the office of the “Burial of the Dead,” as pre- scribed in the Book of Common Prayer, by reciting the sentence “I am the Resurrection and the Life.” The Apostle’s Creed was then recited by the entire audience, led by Rector Eben Thompson, of Biloxi, the late Jefferson Davis’ spiritual adviser. A prayer offered by Father Darius Hubert, locally known as “The Soldier Priest,” concluded the cere- monies at the city hall. The funeral procession to the cemetery was under command of Maj. Gen. John Glynn, Jr., of the Louisiana National Guard, as grand marshal, with Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, as honorary grand marshal. It consisted of seven divisions, the first consist- ing of a guard of honor escorting the caisson upon which reposed the casket containing the remains of Mr. Davis. The other divis- ions consisted of military and civic socie— ties, prominent people in carriages, fire deo partment, etc. Among those who asked for and secured a place in the line was the organi- zation of British shipmasters now in port. It may be noted that the British flag was half masted on the shipping in the harbor since the death of Mr. Davis was announced. The funeral caisson on which the remains . were borne to the cemetery is the property of the State, and was loaned for the occasion. It was beautifully draped and trundled smoothly and quietly through the streets, the cynosure of thousands of eyes. The throngs that lined the way were quiet and orderly, and showed the greatest respect for the dead southern Chieftain. At the grave the ceremonies were con- ducted by Bishops Gallagher and Hugh Miller Thompson, of Mississippi. Minute guns were fired at the head of Can‘street and at Clairborne and Canal all day, nd at the grave there were proper gun salutes and bugle calls as became a military funeral. JOWNSTOWN’S LATEST. A Dozen Persons Killed In a Theatre Panic. Jonxsrowx. Pa... Dec. 11.—During a per~ formance of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” at the Opera house here last night a cry of fire was raised, resulting in a terrible rush for life down the narrow stairs. Twelve per- sons were instantly killed and many ter- ribly injured. Seventy-five are injured. The names of all the killed and wounded cannot be ascertained at present. At midnight twelve bodies had been taken from the wrecked building, and citizens were carrying wounded men and women to adjoining houses. Dozens had been removed with broken limbs and other serious in- juries before the dead bodies were recovered. As near as can be determined at present the following were killed: E. Bigler, Miss Clara Burns, Mrs. Nester, George Horner. Charles Friant, George Storaker, of Mount Pleasant, Pa; John Carl, William Miller (colored), A. Fleishour, Isaac Folor, Lizzie Claycomb and an un- known woman. The seriously injured are Charles Vaughn, John Weimer, Albert Owens, Mrs. Lister. Mrs. Platt and Richard Worthington and many more slightly injured, such as sprains and bruisea DOWN TO DEATH. Three Railroad Men Plunge Through an Open Drawbrldge. HACKENSACK, N. J., Dec. 16.—A locomo- tive and twenty-three coal cars went through the drawbridge on the Susque- hanna railroad at Little Ferry. Three men were drowned. They were lVilliam Nixon, engineer; Patrick Harrington, fireman, and William Seeley, brakeman. All three were riding on the engine at the time the train went through the bridge. It is believed that Nixon failed 'to see the danger signal on account of the snow storm. The bodies have not yet been recovered, they being under 400 tons of coal and many cars. This wreckage will have to be re- moved before the bodies can be taken out. It will require two weeks’ time to remove the wreckage and repair the bridge. Piles will have to be driven in constructing a new center for the bridge. The railroad com- pany at present estimates its loss at $40,000, Until the bridge is repaired trains will run over the West Shore road. Superintendent ‘Shanahan’s Successor. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 17.—Governor Hill appointed Edward Hannan,‘of Troy, to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Shanahan’s reugnation of the ofice of superintendent of public works. Mr. Harman was born in Cohoes forty-five years ago and has resided forty-three years in Troy. He has been president of the Troy common council and a police commissioner and is a mason and builder of experience. A Sculptor sues for Libel.
