which Cronin's body was carried

cerned, than Cooney, and that it
promises to result in the complete
unraveling of the Cronin mystery.

be Smith, the friend of Dan Cough-
lin, who came from liancock.Aiicii
inan. and is the man believed to
have driven the white bourse that
conveyed Dr. Cronin to his death
in Carlson cottage. . The arrest was
inaie at Little Rock, Arkansas.

A Cowardly Attempt to Murder
a Mother and Daughter.
SHOT DEAD IN A BALLROOM,
A JealouB Husband Kills His Brother in Moi
rcw County Several Persons Killed
by tbe Falling of a Gallery.
Saleii, Fob. IS. News was re
ceived in Salem r bout dark last night
that K. A. Johrson, a bartender of
Portland, had attempted to murder a
woman and her daughter yesterday
evening out near Swart.", abcut six
miles east of Salem. .
Particulars as near as could be
learned . are that Johnson came up
from Portland on the noon train yes
terday aud hiied a livery horse and
rode out to Lou Swartz's farm, about
six miles from Salem, where Mrs.
Daisy Wanlese, a relative of the
Swartzea was stopping. He called
for her at the ho'ise and tried to per
suade her to go away with him.
This the positively refused to do and
left bim, going bacs into tbe house.
He followed her, and as she entered
the house he drew a razor and at
tempted to cut her throat, in whioh
attempt he would Lavs been success
ful but for the interference of Lon
Swartz, who rushed to her rescue.
Swartz drew a gun and John jo n fled,
going over to Richard Swartz's house,
where a daughter of Mrs. Wanless
was stopping. He attempted 1o cut
her throat also and would have suc
ceeded had he not been stopped by
some of the Swartz family before he
could accomplish bis work. Again
he fled, the second time in the direc
tion of Salem.
A young man named Brown, who
lived in the neighborhood, was in
formed of the twice attempted mur
der and started immediately for

The facts as related were giveu by

iufoim the sheriff of the attempted
murbers, for which no cause is
assigned other tliau that Johnson

MRS. DOLPH'S DINNER.
The Telegraph Telia ef the Prom

Washington, D. C, Feb. 17.

night. Among the guests were Sen
ator and Mrs. Squire, Senator and
Mrs. Hoar, Senator and Mrs. Pugb,
Senator and Mrs. Stanford, Senator
Allison, Miss Davidge, republicans,
and Mrs, Roswell P. Flower, General
Miles and Mrs. Stonghton, democrats.
A Plea for Woman Suffrage.
Washington, Feb. 16. The Sen
ate Committee on Woman Suffrage
gave a hearing to the meaibeis of the
Woman's National Suffrage Associa
tion on the subject of extending the
elective franchise to woman. Mrs.
Stanton made the principal speech.
She said that for a quarter of a cen
tury a body of intelligent, law-abiding
women had held annual conventions
in Wathington, and had made ap
peals before committees of Congress,
asking to be recognized as citizens
of th'3 Republh. In every session of
Congress new champions of tbe cause
had risen up and passed away, each in
turn bearing his testimonial ot the
justice ot their demands. The woman
suffragists, were here to-day, she
continued, to ask Congress to take
the necessary steps for the speedy
enfranchisement of women: and there
; were three great reasons for this re
quest: lirat, for the benefit that self
government would be to woman her
self; secondly, for the immense
advantage it would be to the family
to have liberally educated wives and
mother, well informed on all ques
tions of public interest; thirdly, for
the good or the State.
Miss Susan B. Anthony then dis
cussed at lenght the reasons above set
forth. As yet political parties were
taking no cognizance of the appeals of
women for justice; but women's dis
content, though neither noticed nor
understood, slept deep down in the
hearts of one-half the people. This
growing discontent, keeping pacs
with woman's virtue, intelligence and -larger
freedom, , she continued, was
the most dangerons t menace to the
State to-day, because, with her re
ligions enthusiasm, she waa a power
to carry any measure which' dema
gogues may declare for - the public
good. In view of the great poets,'
novelists and historians among women,
who can question, she asked, the wis
dom woman might bring into the dis
cussion of the questions bo puzzling to
onr statesmen of to-day.

MRS. GREELEY'S PATIENCE.
An Instance in Which Placid Horace
Presaed it Teo Far.
There arc an endless number of
stories hinging upon tbe peculiar
itiesof the" late Horace Greeley,
most of them having to do with
bis 'penmanship. But wc know
next to nothing of bis home life
aud what Mrs. Greeley did with the
grr-at journalist. While living at
Cuappaqua, be formed the babit ,
of taking gneats home with him
unexpectedly, and, as may natur
ally be supposed, much to the
annoyance ot his wife. Thackeray
told with glee how he walked into
the parlor after tbe placid Horace,
and bow the journalist tried, to
assure a pleasant welcome by greet
ing his better half with an effusive
smile.
He had no sooner dropped his
hat on the center table than she
picked it up and threw it oat of the
window, thus mildly expressing
her disgust. Haying eased her
mind she saluted the distinguished
guest with becoming gravity and
all was well.
