The Coroner Is Still Confident That An- drus Was Murdered—The Dead Man’s Son Reticent—Statement of an Expert Electrician. YONKERS, N. Y,, Oct. 28.—It is now almost a week since Hamlin Andrus was killed and up to this time not an arrest has been made. Further than this, both Coroner Miles and Police Captain Mangin 36 d that no arrests would be made at o co, and perhaps not tomorrow. It looks bey much as if the clews which were so premislng at first have led to nothing. The coroner is still as confident he ever that Andrus was assassinated, but he is no longer positive that the assassin will be captured. In speaking of the case he is much more guarded than he was four days ago, and it is plain that he is more at sea than he has been since the explo- sion occurred. ' Andrus’ will was found in one of the safes in his office. It left everything to his wife. She and Mr. Charles Garton were named as the executors. All the in- surance on Mr. Andrus’ life was also in favor of his wife. How much the estate is worth is not known, as Andrus was inter- ested in many business affairs whose worth cannot be ascertained immediately. ‘Electrician Mahlinson, who was called into the case several days ago, after mak- ing a thorough investigation of all the wires strung in the office cellar, said today that in his opinion the person who con- structed the line which led up to Mr. An- drus’ desk followed exactly the call bell wires which were put in place by Hiram 'Andrus, the dead man’s son. Mr. Mah- linson is much averse to discussing the wiring, but he said that he is positive that he is right. Hiram Andrus is still at home. He has not been seen on the streets since the ex- plosion, and will converse with no one other than his closest friends. 0f the many persons who call to see him few are admitted to the house, and with the few who do gain admittance he will not talk concerning the explosion. The coroner has held consultations sev- eral times with him, but refuses to tell what the man has to say. Mary Gray, empldyed by the Chemical company, when asked whether she had seen any one about the ofi‘ice either before or immediately aft- er the accident, said that just after the re- port she saw a young man run out and close the large gates opening into the street. The Police Explanation. The police explain this by saying that Superintendent Eschmann had opened the gates to drive through but a few minutes before, and when the result of the explo— sion was seen Hiram Andrus ran and closed them to keep out the crowd which had been attracted to the scene by the re- port. The detectives made another search of the’office. They found several small pieces of the bomb which killed Mr. Andrus, but they found nothing which would indicate how the explosion was brought about. Louis McLeod, the 16~year-old boy who formerly worked for Hamlin Andrus, is still in the custody of Police Sergeant Mc- Laughlin. His mother came to see him today, but their only conversation was held in the presence of witnesses. Mrs. ‘McLeodsaid that she had no idea why her son ’was held, but that she “was'willing that he should‘remain at the station house for the present. The little fellow converses with no one, not even the sergeant, who sits near him behind the office desk. Sergeant McLaughlin said that the boy was not under arrest, and that he was not held through any formality of the law. “If he wants to go home,” said Me- Laughlin, “he has only to open the door . and go. We cannot compel him to remain, and he may leave when he gets tired stay- ' ing here. ” The coroner, when asked why the boy was held and under what law. answered: "I cannot tell why I am detaining the boy, but he will be held until after the inquest. When that will be, I do not know. Of course the boy could walk away if he so desired, but his mother is content that he should remain in the care of the police, and I am not afraid that she will insist that he be allowed to go home. ” Asked about the probability of an ar- rest, the coroner said, “I do not know when an arrest will be made, but some one will be taken into custody before the inquest is held.” Dr. Rew field For Trial. NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Dr. Walter Rew, alias William Reed, who was arrested at his home on a charge of bigamy preferred by Della Hunter and Grace May Will, was today held for trial in the Jefferson Mar- ket police court. When arraigned before Magistrate Wentworth, he told a rambling story about some reforms in which he was terested, and said that when he married I _e he was under the impression that the Waman he had already married in England was dead. Canadian Factories Reopening. MONTREAL, Oct. 28.—The cry of ruin raised by the Conservatives during the last elections as a result to follow the coming into power of the Liberals has not ma- terialized, if one can credit the reports that come from various parts of the Do— minion concerning the reopening of man- ufactories. The latest announcement in this connection is that the large cotton fac- tories at Cornwall will start up on the 1st of November. Arrested an Honest Man. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 28.—-G. D.

Young Benedict a Life Saver. NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Fred Benedict, son of Banker E. C.

CEDAR RAPIDS, 1a., Oct. 28,—Miss Lil- ' lian Russell, when questioned as to the report that she was to be divorced from ,her husband and marry Walter-Jones, stated in the most emphatic manner that there was no truth whatever in the report. THE PRICE or WHEAT. The Foreign Stock Not Sufficient For a Fortnight’s Use. LONDON, Oct. 28.—The Telegraph says of the demand for and the supply of wheat: “The stock of foreign wheat at the princi- pal British ports, It is said, would not suffice to feed the country for a fortnight. The slight fall in American exchanges on Saturday gave the English markets a downward tendency, but it is the opinion of one of the best known corn factors in Mark lane that American wheat will speedily rise with a bang and that. by Christmas prices be much further en- hanced. During the recent excitement business was in a comparatively few hands. The Operators are reported to have reaped arich harvest. Speculation both in Eng- land and America was carried beyond rea- sonable bounds. American operations were decidedly intemperate and excessive, but in the market the opinion is positive that at least a proportion of the rise will be retained and that the era of low prices Is for the time being ended.” .The Standard this afternoon says that the tendency in wheat is for higher prices, adding: “The failure in India will divert Californian and Australian wheat from Europe there. Only the tremendous effort in the United States, to hurry wheat across the Atlantic in exchange for gold prevent- ed a much greater increase in prices, and when the inrush is past there will be a further rise.” ~ At the Baltic this morning business in wheht was very dull, and the tendency was toward easier prices. MONTREAL, Oct. 27. —Regarding the wheat situation a Winnipeg dispatch says that there seems to be serious trouble brewin between the factions, much to the discom ture of the bears. The milling concei'ns maintain Manitoba wheat prices at top notch figures. Some of the bears are endeavoring to create alarm by declar- ing that with the prices now prevailing in Manitoba, Duluth No. 1 hard wheat can be taken into the Canadian lake ports, pay the 15 cents duty and still not a profit of 3 or 4 cents to the American shipper. Two Religious Anniversaries. BOSTON, Oct. 28.—-Two religious anni- versaries, commemorating events half a century apart, were celebrated in the neigh~ bor’hood of Boston.

LONDON, Oct. 28.-—The Times regards Li Hung Chang’s appointment to the newly created post of foreign minister, ap- parently placing him above the obstruc- tive and unprogressive influence of the Tsung-li-Yamen, as significant. “It is obviously intended,” says The Times, “to show the desire of working in her- mony with the interests and ideas of the western world.” Election Riots in Hungary.

J TATAL oeossme 100mm; Train ‘Dashes Into a Carriage; Killing Two of Its.0ccupants. KEYPORT, N. .T., Oct. 28. ——A fatal acci- , dent occurred today on the‘Atlantic'High- lands division of the Central- Railroad of New Jersey at Keansburg, four miles be- low this place. It resulted in the killing of father and daughter and the'probable fatal injuring, of a friend who was about to pay a visit. - William Hauran, a well known resident of Atlantic Highlands, left that place on the train, bound for Keansburg, where he was going to visit Dr. W. W. Palmer. The latter and his daughter Fanny, a young woman about 25 years of age, drove from the house and were at the railroad station when the train came in; Dr. Palmer and his daughter saluted Hauran and then they all got into the Palmer carriage to drive to the Palmer residence. The three were chatting and evidently did not hear an approaching The heads of the horses were turned toward the Palmer residence, and just as the carriage was about to cross the tracks on the side of the freighthouse a train appeared. : Before the astonished occupants of the vehicle or the frightened engineer of the train realized it the engine had struck the carriage. Dr. Palmer, his daughter and Hauran were thrown out of the carriage. The train went some distance before it could be stopped, and then many of the passengers who had felt the jar caused by the engine dashing into the carriage got out to see what was the matter.“ Dr. Palmer and his daughter were found to have been killed, while Hauran was still alive. With Dr. McKinney the coroner went to Keansburg and found Dr. Hoagland on the ground. Everything was ' done for Hauran, but he is so badly injured that it is believed he will not recover. Dr. Palmer and his daughter had been badly mutilated. The head of Dr. Palmer was crushed and his right foot was cut off, while the body of his daughter was almost in pieces. There was blood on both sides of the track, and many of the passengers who had got off the train were unable to stand the sight and went back to the train in a weak and fainting condi- tion. Coroner Bedel ordered the bodies of Dr. Palmer and his daughter removed to their homes and Hauran was taken to a nearby residence. Dr. Palmer was quite wealthy. A Siuy’ wax- Rumor. .

The Cobbler Feared Campelition. Clergymen are frequently good story tellers, but as a rule, a proper dignity prevents them from wanting to appear in that light publicly. The following was narrated to a VVasbington Star reporter by a. popular divine: “In the days of my early ministry,” he said, “I thought it necessary to im- press thoughts of salvation by every- thing I uttered, and I am afraid I was not altogether discreet. “My first work was in a Western mining camp, and I had to remain over night at a. rough hotel to wait for a stage to convey me to my des- tination. At the table a savage look- ing man said grufiiy: “What might be your line, young feller?’ . “ 'Saving souls,’ I said, solemnly. “ ‘Ugh,’ was the only response. “After supper a coarsely dressed man approached me and said: “ ‘Pardner, le’s make some kind 0’ dicker. We’re in ther same line, an’ thar ain’t room fer both. Thor’s a camp furder up the crick wbar yo’ could do well.’ - “ ‘I think you are mistaken, my friend‘,’ I said. ‘I am a minister of the gospel.’ . “‘Scuse me, parson; I thought yo' was a cobble'r.’ ” '99:: ..'u0l1fldmoo mums v “moo 0: non .. .az 'uoooou “sdoxg slog "duos Turns on anaa 1:31.103 ‘10 pa!
