The Whitaker Inquiry.

] WEST POINT, May Limited States District ] Attorney Fiero testified today before the court of inquiry. He said he came hers on the 12th of April at the request of Gen. Woodford and General Schofela and the latter extended to 1 him all the privileges necessary for an inde- pendent investigation. On the 14th he was on his way to Highland Falls afoot when he heard horses behind him. eHe observed that the riders were two officers wearing dark blue pants. He sat down on the rock to wait the coming of the horsemeD, but they turned back
 and he went on to the Falls. He callsd on party there and spent about an hour. On his return he looked in at Ryan's and saw two
 persons wearing the same kind of pants talk ing to Ryan. The latter subsequently said that two officers were in his place on that day. Ct will be remembered that Ryan, his wife
 and daughter swore that no officer had ever
 been there at any time.) Coming back, con tinued the witness addressing the Recorder, I
 met two of your company engineers slightly
 intoxicated and feeling happy. I talked with
 them and asked them If they were in the habit
 of going there. They replied that they were. Witness said in several conversations
 with Ryan the later reiterated that
 officers had been to his place. h
 reply to the court he said he had not more
 definitely said to anyone that the officers had
 followed him. When witness finished the
 Recorder read . statement from General
 Woodford to the effect that Fiero would
 give the Recorder in his official capac-
 ity any facts he may possess that might be
 useful to the court, but as Fisro's knowledge
 and judgment had been attained or formed
 in his official capacity he most respectfully
 declined to testify touching the mat ter bsfors the court. Lieut.. Rosslla and Gill
 more were next sworn and testified that on
 the 14th of April thsy went pleasure riding to
 Highland Falls and rode back, stepping at
 Fosters saloon for some beer. They had no reason on their way down to retraco their steps. They knew Fisro by sight, but did not see him in that ride. Roselle had not taken a ride before or since this year.
 The Recorder said he had witness who watched Ryan's on the day named by Fiero, from II Q. m. to p. nl., who would testify that no officers were out riding near there cept the leutsnants named above. ''I now
 propose, said the Recorder, ito bring the
 matter of the three cadets story to Q final con- clusion," and he forthwith caHsd Sergeant En- glehardt, an enlisted soldier, who swore that
 he was in Ryan's on the Saturday before the
 outrage. There were three men with him.
 Ryan asked if he was looking for cadets. He jokingIy replied that he was. Ryan informed him that few cadets were there . few min
 utes before. Sergeant Moore corroborated this testimony. The Recorder read mass of af- fidavits from persons tsstifying to Whitta- kers character from 1869 to the present, after which the court adjourned.

Desperate Attempt to Escape.

LEBANON, May 7.-Brandt and Hummsl, two of the Raber murderers, who are to be hanged next Thursday, recently made bold attempt for freedom. Their implements were common table knives, the edges nicksd so that they worked like saws. With these they tun- neled the wall between their cells and the prison yard. The hole was large enough to squeeze through, and during the day was GOV
 cred with paper whitewashed to initiate the clustering. The work of tunneling was done at night. When discovered, the prisoners smiled good naturedy, but their deep dsap- pointment was too apparent Hummel had made a rope of his blanket, to which grap- bling hook was to be attached. With this contrivance it would have been an easy matter to scale the prison walls. Wise, the remain ing murderer, was not in the plan, he cccu- pying a cell some distance away.

 sylvania Village Wiped Out.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 7.-About noon yes- terday an oil we'll was set on fire near Kew City from brush, and the country being wood land in highly combustible condition and covered with greasy derricks and oil tanks, the flames soon spread in every direction. About the same time fires broke out in the woods at various other points in the vicinity, and at 4 o'clock several miles of country were covered by the flames, which swept forests, derricks and everything else before them. Row City, a village of about hundred houses, situated ten miles from Bradford, was entirely con- stunned, not a single building remaining. About eight hundred oil wells were burned together with hundreds of thousands of bar rels of petroleum. The loss is very great and falls on poor producers. Many men will be bankrupt, while others have lost all their means of support. No estimate can be formed as to the actual loss, as the fires are still raging with unabated fury in diff ferent parts of the field. The loss will no doubt run up into millions.
