UTICA, n. Y, Feb. ID = VIM.
Whelan, President of the Whelan Con.
so!idated copper mine, OF Eureka. Ne
vada. was arrested in Albany Saturday
and brought to this city on warrant
obtained here, charging him with fraud
in connection with the mine. Whelan
interested citizens of Utica last
Fall in his copper mine, referring them
to ore sent to Boston, to proofs in the
central office at Chicago, and to the
mines themselves. An examination OF
the ores in Boston is claimed to have
been entirely satisfactory, and
over $4,000 was put into the
scheme here, the stock being taken
by scores of persons. the largest amount
by w. Fish of the Utica Gas Company,
and D. Barber, who took SO shares.
Investments were also made, it is un-
derstood. by persons in Albany and
Western New York, aggregating $780,
600 An expert was subsequently sent
to Nevada who made Oppressive re-
ports. Three copper mines consolidated
are there, but in the opinion OF ,heexpert
they were not worth working. No
work was being done OH them, and no
money paid for copper stock in this
State was alleged to be employed
by Whelan in developing silver
mine near the copper property. On
receiving this report the U':ca stock
holders. in concert with others of AL
bany, by representations which are
withheld, secured Whelan;s presence
in Albany, where his arrest was quickly
made. Whelan's silver mine is re-
ported by the expert to be valuable,
and while the purpose of the copper
mine stock holders is withheld. it is un-
derstood that a settlement by an ex
change for silver stock is favored.
Whelan is in charge of an officer at
Biggs's Hotel, and every effort is being
made to keep the matter quiet.
A FrishtfuI Disaster.
CINCINNATI, Feb. ia shocking
disaster is reported by telephone from
the western part of the city. Both
freight and passenger depots of the
Cincinnati Southern Railway were IN.
dermined and fell into the surrounding
water, carrying with them hundred or
more people. The depots were one
story frame structures resting on Nc
Lean avenue, which was almost covered
by water. Both sides were filled with
water from 80 to 50 feet deep. It had
become So soaked as to melt. and the
catastrophe was further hast-ned by
the breaking OF the sewer which sent a
current along the bank. Crowds of
people have been in the vicinity look
ing at the floods, and it is supposed
they are among the victims.
1t is impossible yet to tell the extent
of the disaster ut the Southern Railroad
depot. Only the freight depot went
down. A great crowd OF people were
there looking at the food, when Ryan's
restaurant, a small building near by,
went down. The crowd rushed over on
the platform of the depot to see what
was the matter, when suddenly the
whole depot collapsed and sank In the
water. The track was at the same
time depressed, and cars standing close
by ran into the depression, covering
the people who had gone down with the
falling structure. Not one body had
been recovered at o'clock, nor could
the bystanders give any intelligent &C.
count of how many had escaped. The
work of recovering the drowned will be
difficult. as the place is
and there is danger of other
parts of the street melting as this por-
ton did.
1t is possible, however, that the
break in the great sewer ir Mclean av
enue caused the depot to sink.
