was one OF the line worries alleged to have
been carried OF by Scheller previous te
the fire. A little girl, daughter
of Patrick Moore, who was found at the
house. said her father had left the house
early III the morning and she had no idea
when he went. She was asked about the
billiard ball and said that her father
brought one home but it was so badly
burned that it fell to pieces while the
children were playing with it, and the
fragments had been thrown away. It is
rumored that workmen and others have
taken number of partially consumed bill
lard balls from the ruins and that thew
have all been taken charge of by the
police. Later in the day Moore
was found and reiterated the
girls story. A search was made and the
ball found. Chemist Bode made an exam
NATION and at once pronounced the frao-
ments of ivory. As the bail was taken
from the ruins and is of ivory. it is start
ling point in the defense. The strongest
evidence against Scheller has been that he
surreptitiously removed his costly billiard
balls before the house was fired. Asssit was
thought ivory could not be DESTROYED by
fire, and as no balls were found in the
ruins, it looked pretty hard for Scheller.
Ths settles all doubts about fire not con-
Stunning ivory. 1t is the strongest clue to
Scheller's innocence yet obtained
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 5.-The coroner's Jury
rendered verdict in the investigation of
the Newhall house disaster late this after
noon. They found that the proprietors of
the house were guilty OF culpable negli-
gence IN not employing q sufficient num-
Der of watchmen to guard the house
against fire, and to awaken the inmates in
time to have saved all the lives possible.
They found the Newhall house easy of
egress and devoid of intricate passages,
with two outside escape ladders, etc. New
ertheless, they found the owners of the
Newhall guilty of negligence in not having
provided more outside escapes in case of
fire; and they also found fault with the
network Of telegraph wires surrounding
the hotel.
THE ALABAMA DEFALCATION.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Congressman Shell
ley, of Alabama, who is ..in this city, ex-
presses the opinion that Wolff, whose
name has been used in connection with
that of the defaulting state treasurer, Vim
cent, is in no sense responsible. The bust
ness of Wolff is buying and selling cotton
futures on orders, and it is regarded as
Legitimate business, and Shelley holds
there was no improperly in receiving or
ders from man SO well known as
Vincent, any more than from any other
business men. He says, furthermore,
that when the rumor obtained general cir
culation, and it was alleged he had been
successful, no one objected and no steps
were taken to inquire into the propriety
of such speculation until the revelation of
his defalcation. 1t is also said that Vim
cent was fond of card playing and he
played for high stakes. If this is true,
says Shelley, the persons who played with
him, whether state, county or bank officials
or private citizens, could be implicated in
the default with as much propriety as
Wolff.
