A verdict practically exonerating the accused doctors was re turned, and a clause of the verdict seemed to consider that this course was not altogether justifiable. The court room was densely crowded with spectators. Dr. Spltska, the insanity expert, was placed on the stand. His examination gave riss to several legal wrangles between counsel, but the doctor managed to make himself pretty clearly understood, nevertheless. He testified that he was an expert in epileptic and cataleptic diseases. He had known but few cases of hystero-catalepsy in this country. There was one case of cataleptic insanity which be recalled where the patient had remained rigid for a month. He would have made several teste before indulging in an autopsy in such a case as Bishop's. His Sweetheart. Batteries: Keefe and Brown, Whitney and Daley. Umpire: Lynch.

Chicago, May 80.—Another day has come and gone and the police seem no nearer to the real murderers of Dr. Cronin than they were last night. It is equally certain that valuable time is being given to those persons, whoever they may be, to either make good their escape or patch up alibis that will baffle justice in the end. New York, May 80.—John Menken, a dissipated young bartender out of employment, fatally shot Bertha Sehreyer in the kitchen of her father's home, on the top floor of No. 403 West One Hundred and Forty-second street, and then killed himself.

The police and the friends of Cronin seem to be at crass purposes, each trying to get at the result desired through different channels, and each side claiming that its own particular line of inquiry is the only one to follow. Menken had been visiting the young woman for nearly a year. She was married to a yocng German brass finisher named Schmidt, but they disagreed about a year ago and separated. She went home to her father, a compositor on The Staats-Zeitung. She became acquainted with Menken seven months ago, while he was a bartender in Fred Becker's saloon at the northeast corner of One Hundred and Forty-second street and Eighth avenue, half a block from the frame flat in which the Schreyers live.

When he learned that Bertha was married and that he could not become her husband he began drinking heavily. He lost his place at Becker's saloon, and, owing to' his unsteadiness, was unable to get a job that lasted him more than a few weeks. He boarded with a German family at 366 West Oae Hundred and Forty-fourth street During the past few weeks he spent much of his time in Becker's saloon playing cards and drinking.

Chief Hubbard was apparently satWfled with this, and Smith was informed that the police did not want him. He left the jail in company of his friends. That au important man in the case is behind the bars, in the person of the iceman Sullivan, there can be little doubt The testimony of the Carlsons, if corroborated, implicates him as one of the principals in the plot.

This leads to the suspicion that he knows more than he has yet told. Craxed with Beer aud Love. Menken, as a friend said of him, was "crazed with beer and love" when he left Becker's saloon. He told this friend that he had juBt tl left and that when he had spent It he was going to blow out his brains. He loitered in the near neighborhood of the girl's homo until be saw her mother leave.

The greatest damage is to tha strawberry crop. Most of the vines were on low lands, and they were badly nipped. The loss on strawberries alone will aggregate many thousands of dollars, as large numbers of farmers made this their principal crop. lAst season 30,000 crates of berries were shipped from here to eastern markets. There is every indication of another frost In Oswego County. GARDEN M FIELD ffiS. The line of march was from Fiftieth street along Fifth avenue to Fourteenth street, thence to Broadway and around Union square to the intersection of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue, where the parade was dismissed. At the right of the line was Maj. Gen. O. O. Howard, commanding the department of the Atlantic, and staff, to whom succeeded the military forces of the United States army, drawn from the various fortifications and stations in and about New York harbor, and a contingent of the United States marines and sailors, detailed from the barracks and receiving ships at the Brooklyn navy yard. This division numbered close upon 2,000 officers and men. Waiting for Something to Turn Hp. The police claim to have numbers of people under surveillance, but they seem to be waiting for something to turn up or somebody make a confession which may unrnvel the mystery. . Barricaded the Door Twelve-year-old Otto Schreyer, Bertha's brother, had just returned from school, and was in the front room of the flat Menken entered by the kitchen door, and larricaded it with chairs. 'Ihe boy was frightened by the report of a pistol and his sister's tcream? a moment later, and rushed out into the hall and to the street for help. He slammed the door behind him. It had a spring lock, and when the little fellow ca'.ne quickly back with a policeman, they couldn't get in. A terrific struggle was meanwhile going on in the kitchen between Bertha and her frenzied lover. She fought desperately with him for nearly five minutes. Her screams aroused all the other tenants and neighbors within the block. She appeared twice at the window overlooking the fire escape, with the blood streaming down her face. She was dragged back by the mad barkeeper. We are now prepared to furnish seeds to all in need in large and small quantities.

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 3a —The heavy frost caused sad havoc among fruit orchards and vegetable gardens in this vicinity. In the early part of the night the thermometer commenced falling until about 10 o'clock, when the farmers built fires in their vineyards to save their grapes. Ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. Vegetation being three wee lain advance of last year, everything suffered terribly. The grape crop is almost a total loss and strawberries, raspberries and currants are almost as bad. Early potatoes are entirely killed. The damage in Stamford township, known as the Garden of Ontario, will reach thousands of dollars. Kuflbat & Co. Just before the grand jury adjourned the chief entered the chamber "and held a brief conference with that body, which is supposed to have reference to the Scanlan story.

St. Louis, May 80.—A prominent Cian-na- Gael man of this city vehemently denies the charges of Chicago papers that members of the St. Louis Clnn-na-Gael were connected with the Cronin conspiracy. He says Cronin discovered that the sum of $85,000 had been misappropriated and used for political purposes. The money was stolen and expended for campaign purposes, and was to have been repaid to the owners after the election of 1884.
