Tia NIAGARA FALLS TRAGEDY.
Indications that the Men Dciibes
ately Planned the Affair.

NIAGARA FALLS, Can, April l2.-The IN
quest into the terrible tragedy that was dis
covered here Thursday has been commenced
by Coroner Elshmeier, who examined the
physicians who made the post-mortem of
the remains of Van r. Pierson, and
also took the testimony of the rela-
tives of the two men, and of the
parties who discovered Persons remains
The crowd which sought admittauce TO the
rooms Of the coroner was tremendous, and
many had TO be excluded. There are no new
details or discoveries regarding the sad
affair, although the belief is strengthening
that Vedder killed Pierson by a pre-arranged
agreement, and then, after removing por-
ton of his clothing, jumped into the river.
Hundreds have searched the vicinity Of the
tragedy for the revolver, but no trace OF II
has been found The village is greatly
excited over the terrible affair and Pierson
and Nedder's relatives are plunged in the
widest grief Vedder was the richest man In
the village, and was estimated to be worth
about 81 900. The inquest has developed
the fact that the two men had been seen
together Frequently of late looking down into
the Niagara river from the cantilever bridge
as though possibly meditating a plunge
f1erson, was an opium eater and also quite
dissipated, and it is reported that he had,jus
returned from five days spree, at least ht
had been absent that time in unknown piaces,
