night at o'clock Charles Curler, en-
gineer Oh yard engine No. 81, plying be-

CURIOUS CONDOLENCES
Make Fred Bondy, of Chicago, a
Suspicious Character.

Suspicious Character.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-There is man
by the name of Fred Bondy, who, if he
can be found, may be able to tell some
thing of interest regarding Tascott, who
is accused by the police of the murder
OF Amos j. Smell. Fred Bondy was an
elevator man at the Palmer house, but
he disappeared Friday, Feb. 10, and has
not been seen since, though he left be-
hind him his wardrobe and had twelve
twenty-nine years of age, about five feet
nine inches in height, rather stoutly
built, with dark brown hair, lighter
mustache, with the ends worn straight
out, no drOop to them. Though it may
bemerely cOincidental. it is somewhat
singular that TascOtt and BOndy en-
tered the employ of the Palmer house
ongthe same day, secured the same kind
of work, running elevators, slept not
only in the same room, but in the same
bed, and disappeared from their usual
haunts within two days of each
other. In Bondy's grip sack
were found letters showing that
he had been employed at 1.-The Kirk
wood" Des Moines, To-, and came from
there with the rest OF recommendations,
and another letter written by woman
at Dexter, Kan There is also the fol-
lowing address, written in Bondy's own
hand: mora ID. Bondy, Gettysburg,
Graham county, Kansas" The police
5to-night endeavored to give the impress
sion that they had attached little i'm
portance to the disappearance of Bondy.
They also denied that the companion of
TascOtt the night of the murder had
been arrested. but the belief became
quite general that the denial was not
strictly true, and that BOndy was in the
tolls, confessed accomplice of TaScOtt
F. B. TaScott, brother of the suspected
murderer, who resides at Ridgeland,
claims he can prove an alibi for Will.
He SAYS the latter was at his house the
night of the murder.
Inspector BOnfeld announced tonight
that he had discovered in searching
Tascott's effects left in his room at
Madison street lodging house, some
county scrip which was stolen from
Snell'S safe. This adds another link to
the chain of circumstantia1 evidence
connecting TaScJtt with the murder.
The inspector stated it was his belief

a few days ago, and who afterwards
escaped from Jail, was TascOtt. All day

Civil Career,

He Will Not Work for a

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Wash
sought an interview with Gen. Sheridan
this evening for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether he would consent to
make an authoritative statement in re-
gard to his alleged presidential candi-
dacy. The general gave his consent,
and it will be seen from the following
verbatim report of the conversation
that his declarations are thoroughly ex-
plicit:
Agent-Of course, general, you have
noticed that there has been considerable
mention of you during the past few
weeks as a possible or probable candi-
date for the presidency next autumn.
Gen. Sheridan-YeS. noticed it, but
have never looked upon those news
paper articles as anything more than
the usual shooting around in the woods
which has once or twice before in presi-
dental years brought my name up in
that connection.
But, general, the talk is more serious
this time, and there appears to be some
thing like concerted movement to
bring about your nomination.
Gen. Sheridan-Well, know nothing
more about this alleged ''bOom'' than
what l have read in the papers, except
that now and then some friend has
twitted me about becoming 4 candidate.
But, if the matter is really now dis
cussed seriously, it is time that all par
ties concerned should be informed that
they are wasting their breath. / have
never had the presidential bee in my
bonnet and don't intend to have it, for
there is nothing that would induce me
to leave the profession in which nearly
forty years of my life have been spent
to enter upon civil career. So all talk
about my being a candidate may as well
end.
But suppose the Republican convene
ton should

slightest probability of my being NOM
