New Evidence as to the Dynamite As-
sassination In Yonkers.

OPINION or concurs MILES.

two “on Are Under Surveillance and May
Bo Arrested Shortly--Eow the Misc
creunts Planned Their Crime.
Theory of the PoliceJ

 

YONKERS, N. Y., Oct. 24 --Cor0ner
Miles today began in earnest the search
for the murderer of Hamlin J. Andrus,
who was killed in his office by a bomb ex-
plosion on Wednesday. All along the
coroner has contended that Mr. Andrus’
death was not the result of an accident, as

Was 'said to be the case by the police, and

all along he has scofled at the theory of
suicide. Mr. Andrus, he said, was the
victim of an assassin. When he was asked
on what grounds he based this theory. he
refused to answer. It was said that he
was possessed of information which he re-
fused to reveal, but he stoutly denied this
when he was questioned. That he did
possess such information was proved later,
v'ihen he told or the result of the investi-
gation which he made in the wrecked of<
fioe. Soon after the explosion on Wednes-
day the cor'oner, guided by one of the com~
pany’s employees. want into the office col.
l r and carefully searched for wires or
i rings by which a bomb might have been
explo ed on the floor above. He did find
wires nd traced them to a set of drycell
biltteries placed on one of the cellar Walls,
but when he sfibke of them the employee
who was with him said that they were a
part of the circuit which operated the of-
fice telephone.

This explanation satisfied the coroner
for the time, but he kept thinking the
matter over and decidedthat the batteries
and wires needed a closer investigation.
Without informing any one of his suspi-
cions, be secured the services of Alder-
man Nu'gent of Yonkers, who is an elec-
tric an, and, in company with John E.
An us, a brother of the dead man, and
two etectives called from New York’, they
made a second search in the cellar, apply-
ing themselves particularly to the batteries
and the wires which the coroner had dis-
covered on Wednesday. The batteries,
foil? in number, were of the ordinary dry
cell type, connected in series.

They were brand new, two of them still
being in the wrapping paper in which
they had been inciosed at the factory
where they were made. From the battery
one set of wires ran across the beams hold-
ing the floor, entered the room above
through an opening made for a gas pipe,
vdbre strung along the wainscotlng under
the ofice safe and ended under the desk at
which Hamlin Andrus stood when he was
killed.

A Piausible Theory.

It is believed by those who traced the
wires‘that they were attached to the bomb
which killed Mr. Andrus and wrecked the
0 as. The bomb itself, they believe, was
hung on the: wall several. feet from ‘the
floor and close under the‘“ bottom of *the
desk. The wires which led from the other
side of the battery were the ones used to
close the circuit and send through the
bomb the current which exploded it. They
phased through a partition into another
part of the cellar, and in a series of loops
suspended from gas pipes led to the fur-
riéice at one end. Back of this furnace
they were arranged so that the circuit
could be made or broken at will.

I The contrlvance was very rude, but
sh w’c‘d some little ability where the wires
08316 together. One was turned back on
itself and made into a loop. Through this
100p the other wire passed, and it also was
turned ack and fast ed on itself. The
two wlr s were thus nected by the five
loops. When this had been done, the wires
were pulled so that the loops were elon-
gated. Where they touched the insulation
Was scraped from each one for about an
inch. One wire was securely fastened, so
that its loop could not move. The other
was allowed to have some play and Was

fastened to a eight a egof _a pic of
old iron, Whig]. allege} to ffll,.wc 11d
tighten it and bring the two loops togeth-
er where they had been scraped. This

‘would complete the circuit and send a

current through the wires which led to
Mr. Andrus’ desk. The weight which
operated this contrivance hung on a string
which led up through a grating and en-
tered a small closet in the yard. The
string was fastened to a nail inside of the
closet.

The police are inclined to look askance
at this find of the coroner’s. Captain
Mangln had his men examine the cellar,
and they say that they saw no wires and
no batteries.

“If there are wires and batteries there,”
the police say, “they were put there by
some one who had access to the office.”

Police and Coroner at Odds.

The police do not deny that the wires
might have escaped them in their search,
but they say that it could not possibly
have been the work of a person not con-
nected with theworks. As a result of
this difference a coolness has sprung up
betwoen Coroner Miles and Police Captain
Mangin, and local government affairs in
Yonkers are badly strained.

If John E. Andrus, brother of the dead
man, is correct in his suspicions, there
will be arrests in Yonkers before many
hours have passed.

“My brother,” he said, “was undoubt-
edly the victim of anarchists. He was
murdered. and we expect to have the mur-
derers under arrest. Murderers, I say,
because I believe that more than one per-
son was concerned in the affair!”

All the wires connected with the batter-
ies and supposedly leading to the bomb
Were new and had evidently been in place
not more than two or three days at the
most. They were ordinary cotton covered
bell‘wires, and it is said that they are
similar to wires that are in use in the
chemical works. Both the coroner and
John Andrus, though, profess to believe
that the men who had access to the works

are guiltless of any complicity in the ex..

plosion. The closet where the string ended
is close to the main building, and the po-
lice say that a man could easily have made
his way from one structure to the other
without being seen.

Coroner Miles, who first discovered the
wires and the batteries, sold:

“It is true that we have two men under
surveillance, but of course there is no pos-
itive proof against them at present. John
Andrus employed the electrician and the
detective, and it is probable that he knows
more about their suspicions than I do.
One thing sure—I up) satisfied that Ham-
lin Andrus was deliberately murdered.
If the two men We suspect should try to
leavetown, we shall have them arrested
at once, but unless they do so we will con-
tinuc our investigation at some length bo-

_ fore making our suspicions public.’.’_,

Its Sensational Rise Followed by the
Tumble to 75 Cents.

THE REAL CAUSE OF IT ALL.

Dun &: Co.’s “Weekly Review Attributes
It to an Extraordinary Foreign De-
mand—Other M'arkets—-—Fnilures
Reported For the _Week.

New YORK, Oct. 24—8. G. Dun &
Co. ’s weekly review of trade says:

The event of the week has been the sen-
sational advance of wheat to 83 cents for
cash on Tuesday, a riseof 5% cents, and
its fall to 75 cents on Thursday. The rise
was evidently magnified ‘by covering of

, speculative sellers who imagined the ad-
vance had gone tooofar, but was at bottom,

based on an extraordinary. foreign de-
mand, which has engaged grain vessels
from all Pabiflc as well as Atlantic ports
for months ahead. How great the short-
age in ordinary European supplies may be
is the point of doubt and speculation, but
none new questions that shipments from
the Pacific coast to India and the decrease
in Russian yield are important, and the
buying of enormous quantities for export,
with engagements of freight room at high-
er rates, expresses the belief of European
dealers. The political influence of the
rise, which averages about 20 cents at
Western markets, is potent in various
branches of trade, giving greater confi-
dence in operations for the future and re

.moving doubt as to the money market.

Nor is this influence lessened by the reac-
tion this week after short sellers had cov-
ered and elevators had been filled and
credits had been strained to hasten grain
forward. The advance of rates by the
Bank of England to 4 per cent is meant to
draw gold-from other countries for Amer-
ican requirements, which it is evident the
bank expects to be heavy. Shipments of
gold from Europe and Australia have al-
ready been $70,988,928 and actual receipts
$57,707,510.

Wheat exports from the Pacific coast are
large, and over 500,000 bushels per day
have been engaged ahead for some time.
The Atlantic exports, about 900,000 bush-
els larger than last year for the week, have
been in October 6,570,213 bushels, flour
included, against 5,086,388 last year. It
is worthy of note that western roads are
complaining of a car famine, the demand
for movement to market being so great,
though the actual receipts for three weeks
at western ports have been 21,193,716
bushels against 23,061,544 last year, fol-
lowing a much increased movement in
the quarter ending with September.

Corn and Cotton.

Corn moves largely and at lower prices,
having declined 2 cents for the week.
Cotton has remained without change at
7.94 cents, with only moderate transac.
tions and heavy receipts from plantations.

Estimates of yield vary all the way
from Mr. Neill’s 9,000,000 bales to much
less than 8,000,000, but the impression
grows that the yield will be large.

Speculation in stocks was stimulated by
the advance in wheat and the large move-
ment and by political conditions. The
advance in railroad stocks averaged $1.13
per share, and in trust stocks $1.26, with
a general feeling that foreigners will be
buying before long. that the unlocking of
boarded gold will bring many buyers into
market, and that improvement in busi‘
ness will soon make past earnings forgot-
ten. West bound tonnage in October has
been remarkably small except in coal, but
east bound has been large in breadstufi’s
and provisions, though the Chicago state-
ment for three weeks covers only 194,418
tons against 254,229 last year, but lake
and rail shipments are the largest since
1892. The lake movement is heavy be-
cause there is less pressure thari' before to
move ore. Earnings in two weeks of Co-
tober have been more favorable than in
any other month this year, 5.9 per cent
less thgp last ear and 6,4 less than in
1892, although he trunk lines and other
western lines, exclusive of the Grangers,
report less than in September.

The moss strikgfi fepture of industrial
returns is t 1e nu 'er of contracts condi-
tioned upon the election. These already
are enough to make business rather lively
for a time, and many others are pending
which will probably be held back until
Nov. 1. The buying of materials not only
advances prices, but induces larger pur-
chases of the finished products without
conditions. In boots and shoes this is
more noticeable than in other lines, and
many orders are being placed at an ad-
vance which were held back for some
weeks.

Leather, Iron and Steel.

Leather has risen 1% per cent, with .a
general demand, though mostly in hem-
lock sole and union, and hides at Chicago
have been advanced still further by pack-
ers, though country hides do not rise at
all, and some are lower, but the average
of all is .6 per cent higher. To the claim
that hides are scarce it is answered that
443,200 cattle have been received at four
chief western markets in October against
447,400 last year and 500,300 in 1894, de-
creasing less than the reported decrease in
output of leather.

Buying of bessemer pig at Pittsburg
causes a slight advance, and all markets
are strong for pig, but not for finished
products. Very low prices are made for
speedy delivery by mills wanting work.
But the tone of the market is better, and
a decided increase of orders appears in
plates, about 3,000 tons for building ves-
sels 0n the lakes and in structural work
at the west, owing to contracts taken at
Chicago for buildings at Boston, Toronto,
Detroit and Minneapolis. There is also a
great demand expected for cars, and the
bar association offers to sell iron until
Nov. 6 to jobbers and large buyers at 1.05,
while steel bars are selling largely at 1
cent. A reduction in nails is expected.
But the rail season is over, and the billet
pool has little business. A sale of about

5,000,000 pounds was made of lake copper

at 10% cents to domestic consumers. Tin
is a shade highcrvat 12.80 cents.

The movement of currency to the in.
terior has been only $3,500,000 for the
week, and the market for commercial
loans has been dull. The volume of busi-
ness shown by exchanges has been 8.7 per
cent less than last year and 9.6 per cent
less than in 1892. Failures for the week
have been 274 in the United States against
231 last year and '50 in Canada against
38 last year.

Thieves Fight Detectives.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 24.—-A pitched battle
took‘ place today between a squad of rail-
road detectives and freight car thieves at
Colllnwood, a suburb. A fusillade of shots
were exchanged, and Michael Ryan, one
of the thieves, was fatally shot. The oili-
cers had watched the gang break open a
car and enter it. They then surrounded
the car, and the fight began.

who look after their households; and ‘
as a French woman’s principal aim is _
to please her future husband, every ‘

mother prepares her daughter for this
end. This is why she does not per-

‘mit too close an intimacy with little

 

boy cousins, because ten years later

a jealous husband would take a dis- 9

like to these friendly cousins; nor
would he like his wife’s bosom friends,
in whom she confides, and who never
leave her any better.

- Mothers, therefore, permit few if
any intimacies, and these are all Win-
nowed and selected'with the greatest
care'. One advantage of this system
is that the name of friend is not care—
lessly bestowed right and left; it takes
time and good reasons for simple ac~
quaintances to rise to that rank. The
mother not only wards off little boy-
cousius and intimate girl-friends, but
she discourages the little girl in show-
ing off her knowledge out of the class
room, for she is fully aware that noth-

ing could be less attractive in the eyes .

of the expected lord and master than
a blue stocking. ‘

A bright little girl I could name
had by chance picked up some as-
tronomical scraps, together with
other scientific facts, which allowed
her to shine n0w~and thee. One
evening, while playing in the garden,
she heard a friend of her father’s ex-
claim, “What a. dazzling star!”
“That is not a star, sir,” she said; “it
is a planet.” Her mother was in des‘
pair, for she would rather a. hundred
times have found her ignorant than
have seen her “show 0ft,” or capable
of committing the enormity of contra-
dicting an older person. “I hope,”
she said, jestingly, as a sort of ex-
cuse, “that when she is eighteen the
poor little thing will have forgotten
a great part of what she knows to-
day’”—Th. Bentzon in the Century.

“How’s business?” *
“How’s business?” the merchant re-
peated thoughtfully. Then he took a
bundle of notes at anything from thir-

and with an effort at cheer exclaimed:

business was more promising.”

the impediment.

At 9 o‘clock this morning Babe was
taken to the University Medical Col-
lege. at Tenth and Campbell streets,
and placed on an operating table in
a lecture room. It was extremely
lively as to the first four feet of body
and heavy as to the other four feet.
The ampitheatre was filled with med-
ical students, doctors and visitors.
Mrs. Harden stood by Babe, and en-
couraged it to endure the coming or-
deal. Dr. L. Rosenwald took off his
coat, rolled up his sleeves, and an.
uounced that he was. ready to relieve
Babe of its burden. Babe ran its
forked tongue in and out, caressing
Mrs. Harden’s cheeks and hands.
Even the medical students shuddered.

Babe responded gracefully to the
chloroform and was insensible. An
incision five inches long was made in
the belly of ”the snake and hardly a
drop of blood escaped. But the blan-
ket was there and was drawn forth
without trouble. It had been rolled
into a cigar shaped cylinder about
two feet long, and was as hard as a
brick. It was covered with gastric
juice, which was futilely endeavoring
to do its work. The blanket looked
as though it had been compressed by
machinery.

It had to be soaked in water before
it could be unfolded. The stomach
of the snake was as clear as a whis-
tle, and after the blanket had been
removed was as empty as a. drum.
Nine stitches were made in closing
the wound, and the snake was taken
out into the alley for fresh air. It
was soon surrounded by students,
small boys and colored women. In
about five minutes its lungs filled
with air, and its forked tongue ran
in and out, and Mrs. Harden, who
was anxiously watching it, gave a
sigh of relief.

“I’m glad my Babe didn’t die,” she
exclaimed. “I couldn’t spare my
baby. I’d sooner have that snake
around the house than lots of men.—
