Postmaster Adams Has Finally Suc-
‘cumbed to His Wounds. '
THE ' MYSTERIOUS sueroT.
Probably Not One of the Guilty Men, but
Police of Brooklyn Are Watching
Him Nevertheless —— Young
Adams Hero of the Hour.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22L—The unknown
man who is now sufiering from a bullet
wound in the Long Island College hos-
pital, Brooklyn, and is suspected of. being
one of the three burglars who fought at
New Bedford with the Adamses, is under
arrest there,‘ still unidentified with the
transaction. He was in an excited mental
state today, the doctors say, due to the in-
tense nervous strain he has suffered and
to the efiects of the anaesthetics adminis-
tered to him, that would not be conducive
to a rational statement. Nevertheless he
knows enough of what is going on to re.
fuse to anSWer questions and to curse the
policemen who are there guarding him.
The wound in the man’s left arm_isa
severe one. Dr. Campbell of the hospital
and Deputy Police Superintendent Mac-
kellar examined it together and say that
there is no doubt whatever that the wound
was made, not by shot, but by a large bul-
let. The injury was inflicted on the up-
per left arm, and the laceration of the flesh
and the injury to the bone are so extensive
that they could not tell with certainty
whether the ball came from a rifle or a pis-
1301.
Dr. Campbell feared at first that it
might be necessary to cut the man’s arm
ofl just below the shoulder, but the sur—
geons decided to try to save it by extract- ‘
ing the shattered pieces of bone. They
administered ether and chloroform and
went to work. They took out threelarge
sections of bone tissue and are not certain
that they got all the splinters out at that.
Deputy Police Superintendent Mackellar
sent a dispatch to Will Adams, at Bedford,
asking him if the man in question was
the third burglar, who escaped. Mr. Mac-
kellar sent an accurate description. The
prisoner is fully 55 years old. His hair is
slightly gray, and he is clean shaven. He'
wearsa dark blue serge suit, with vest,
light fedora hat, outing shirt and new
necktie.
Probably Not the Man.
Deputy Superintendent Mackellar re-
ceived from Mr. Adams, a dispatch that
read, “Not the man; too old.”
“I am, inclined to believe that Mr.
Adams’ judgment is correct,” said Mr.
Mackellar. “He ought to know. He had
the third man a prisoner for some time
and had a good chance of seeing him close-
ly. But it is certain that some disreputa-
ble transaction is back of this man’s in-
jury and his appearance at the hospital. I. .
thing, but either that or he is trying to
”shield somebody. ”
The man appeared at the hospital alone
about 8 :ofclock last night. Hepretended
not to be‘very"badly-:m : He said he
wanted a little wound dressed. He asked
that it be done at once, as hewas in a
hurry to getaway. : .
“A little wound!” exclaimed,Dr..Camp-
bell as he looked at it. “Why, man, it will
take three hours to fix that up! It’s a
wonder you’ didn’t bleed to death. We
will have to give you anaesthetics, and
you will have to stay here several days.”
“I can’t do that,” said the man nerv-
ously. “I must get away in a few min-
utes. Hurry up.” -. .
Replying to questions, he said his name
was Bell; that he was a New York city
photographer, and that he was shot in
Long Branch. He was fooling with a
friend there who had a pistol, he said, and
the weapon accidentally went off. “I
walked all the way from Long Branch,”
he said.
Beyond this the man would say noth-
ing. Dr. Campbell’s suspicions were
aroused. 'He telephoned to Mr. Mackel-
lar, who at once connected the man with
the Bedford affair. This suspicion he con-
sidered was confirmed by the fact that a
time table of the N. Y., N. H. and H. rail-
road was found in his pocket. Among his
effects also were abottle of laudanum and
a handkerchief with blood spots on it.
‘ Mr. Mackellar .at once hurried two po-
licemen 'to the scene. They were slipped
into the operating room, and when the
man was led there to be operated upon he
saw them for the first time. At sight of
them, it is said, he started back. Theirhe
was told that he was under arrest. He
denounced the proceeding as outrageous,
cursed the officers and applied some vile
epithets to Mr. Mackellar.
None of .the injured man’s friends had
_ do not say that he has been guilty of any- ‘
J
been to call on him today. The detective .
department has been unable to identify him
as_a criminal. Chief Detective Sergeant
James Reynolds will take a look at him
and endeavor to do so.
Dr. Campbell says the man has wonder-
ful grit. ,Not one man in a thousand, he
says, would have endured all the suffering
he must have undergone from the wound.
He objected .to taking anmsthetics. He
said he wanted to see the operation per-
formed and insisted that he could stand it
without fiinching. His muscles are as
hard as steel. He is a man about 5 feet 9
inches and weighs about 150 pounds.
Mr. Walker B. Adams died early this
morning. He never regained conscious-
ness after he was struck by the bullet from
the burglar’s pistol. Both the captured
burglars are dying in the Mount Kisco
jail. ,So far they have refused to make an
antemortem statement. One of them has
received the ministrations of a priest, but -
the other only asks to be left alone and to
get free from his pain. '
Several arrests have been made, but the
prisoners have not as yet been identified as
menwho had any connection with the at— '
tempted burglary.
It is thought that the prisoners belong
to a gang of postoffice’ robbers who have
been exceedingly successful in their crimes
in the last few years. If this be so, the
gang is pretty thoroughly broken up. ._ '
Nothing but praise is heard for the con-
duct of young Adams. He displayed the
highest kind of nerve, courage and skill.
Bedford Station will never again be a pop-
ular stoppingplace for burglars.
Two detectives from police headquarters
in this city went up to Mount Kisco'today
to look at the captured burglars.
. A .Burglar In Hard Luck.
I" NEW .YORK, Aug. 22.—A burglar got
into the omce building at 182 Grand street,
and after prying open an iron safe and
rummaging through dozens of drawers and
closets of the Prudential Insurance com-
pany secured Only a 50 cent piece.
. The burglary was discovered when the

fl revenue,
papers and account books had been pried ,
open with burglar tools. Nothing . in
money had been found to take away. This
failure probably enraged the burglar, who
then searched every drawor and closet in
the company’s rooms. He scattered the
papers about, seemingly getting angrier at
finding nothing of value. At last he came
across a 50 cent piece which an old woman
had paid on two policies late the night be-
fore, and which had been put in the cash
box. After that the man escaped by going
to the roof through the scuttle and cross-
ing 'to on Elizabeth street tenement,-
through which he descended to the street.
Superintendent J. M.‘Collins informed
Captain Thompson of the Mulberry Street
station, who sent Detectives Sloane and
Collins to investigate:
The building is a five story brick and
stone structure and occupies two lots—182
and 184 Grand street. The entrance at 182
Grand street is protected by a massive iron
door. None of the other offices in the
place appears to have been visited by-the
burglar.
A BIG OIL DEAL
The‘ Cudahys Said to. Be About to Estab-
lish 3 Pipe Line to Chicago. '
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-—The Times-Herald
says today: “Michael and John Cudahy, _
wealthy packers of this city, have entered
into a large oil deal. If their present plans
materialize, Chicago is to have a new in-
dustry, a rival of the great plant of, the.
Standard Oil company at Whiting, and
the first pipe line from the oilfields to en-
ter its limits. The Cuhahys, have pur-
chased in wells and Adams counties, Ind.,"
the entire‘plant and wells of the Northern
Indiana Oil company. What price was
paid is not known, but the purchase was
made more than a year ago, and the fact
has only just leaked out in the commercial
circles of the "city. Following this purchase
they have this week placed with the Na-
tional Tube and Pipe company of Pitts-
burg a $500,000 order for six inch oil pipes. ‘
How; big the order is may be appreciated
when it is known that it covers pipes for
an underground oil line 170 miles in length
and, extending from, the oilfield} toChi-
cago..‘-‘ With the tankage which they will
erect in Indiana andlithe refining plant
and tanks needed at the Chicago end, it is
estimated that their investment, aside
from the original purchase price, will rep-
resent $1,500,000.”
NIOB SOLDIERS THESE.
They Fight In 2 Railroad Train and Make
All Kinds of Trouble.
. CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—Twehty-five police-
men were sent to the Union depot at the
call of the Fort Wayne railroad to meet an
incoming train bearing a carload of.
dr'unken and riotous privates of the United
States army. The conductor of the train
had telegraphed ahead for assistance to
prevent loss of life and to protect the rail-
road property, but by the time the train
reached Chicago the rioting had ceased.
Twenty-eight private soliders without a
commissioned officer were on their way
:from the Columbus barracks to various
‘forts throughout thewest. , ‘Whilepassing
through Indiana a fight was started be-
tween Privates Hayes and Karpp. A gen-
eral riot followed,.in:-which four men were
cutmore or less'seriously and anumber
of the car windows broken. . .Karpp had
one of his [fingers broken. All but three
or four of the soldiers were drunk.
.. The conductor became frightened and
telegraphed ahead forpolice assistance. At
the station here the men were quiet, and
as the railroad officers werewilling to let
them go the police took. no action.

The. Senate Votes Extraordinary Supplies .
to the Spanish Government.
MADRID, ' Aug. 22.—-4The senate has f:
adopted the extraordinary budget as rec-
ommendedby General Azcar'raga, minister =
of war; Admiral , ranger, minister of
marine, and Senor A. Bosch, minister 0
public works. . z,
The Liberal deputies declare that this is
of the nature of a surprisevote, and that
they will therefore work with increasing
energy and activity for the defeat of the
government’s money raising proposition
in the chamber of deputies. ‘
. ' \s
. Aug. 8 the extraordinary budget caused
an animated discussion in the chamber of
deputies. Premier Canovas explained that
_ the extraordinary budget was necessary,
the insurrection in Cuba, which had spread
over the entire island, preventing the pee-
plethora from contributing their share
toward the expenses of government.
”He explained that the government al-
ready had been authorized to borrow 500,-
000,000 pesetas ($100,000,000), but to ap-
ply to the Bank of Spain 'for such a loan,
he said, would make the fiduciary circula-
tion enormous. _‘ ._ '
Senor Moret criticised. the government’s
scheme as dangerous._ He believed that
it would be better. to borrow the money
than to tax the people at the present time.
Spanish newspapers during the past
week have estimated that the Cuban war
is costing the government at least $300,-
000 per day. ‘

The Chicago Stock Exchange Not to Be
- Opened For Awhile Yet.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-—-A meeting of a
number of Stock Exchange brokers inter
ested in the Moore Bros. deals was held.
The special committee appointed by‘the
governing committee made a partial re-
port to the effect that there wasapool
back of the Moores in the deal in the Dia-
mond Match- and ’New York Biscuit
stocks. Attorneys for the special com-
mittee expressed the opinion that members
of the pool can beheld responsible for
carrying out all the Moore. contracts. ,
At the meeting the matter was carefully
discussed, and while no decision was
reached the general opinion seemed to be
that there was no way to force the mem-
bers of the alleged pool to come to the
front. The special committee was not
ready to make a detailed report. The con-
sensus of opinion seemed to be that While
the reapening of the Stock Exchange is
extremely desirable, the only wise thing to
do is to keep it closed until general con-
fidence has been fully restored and busi-
ness has readjusted itself .on a' normal
basis. Those present at, the meetingbe-
lieved that a settlement on, an equitable
basis will he arrived at before long.
