THEY ATE OPIUM.
What Detectives Allen and Turner Found In

What Detectives Allen and Turner Found In
Making an -Arrest-The Drug Taken
From Prisoners in the Jail.
When Detectives Allen and Turner, of
the Gilkinson Agency. went to No. 272
Fifth avenue yesterday to arrest Mrs. F. P.
Zimerman and E. G. Emmett, they were
armed with a search warrant and went
through the apartments. Under Emmett's
bed Mr.. Allen found an opium pipe and
lot of opium, and the smell of that drug
pervaded the apartments. Emmett's card
was found, and on it he sets forth that be is
general manager of the American Publish
ing Company, New York and Chicago"
Sloan claimed to be also connected with that
establishment. Mrs. Zimerman said to the
officers that she was Emmett's wife, claim
ing that they had been married a few days
ago. The man and woman were taken to
Alderman McMasters' Office and committed
to Jail to await a hearing.
The house on Fifth avenue was watched.
At about o'clock Sloan appeared. When
told that he was wanted be assaulted the
officers with an umbrella, and it was only
after a hard struggle that he was over
powered and handcuffed. He was taken to
the Alderman's Office. While the commit
ment was being prepared Sloan asked De-
tective Allen if he could get drink. The
detective accompanied the prisoner to a rear
room. He drew from his pocket tin box,
from it took some black substance and
placed it in his mouth. He confessed that
it was opium, and said he hoped they would
not take it from him in the Jail.
At the Jail the detective gave hint to the
warden, and the opium was taken from
Sloan. Emmett was then searched in his
cell, and a similar amount of opium was
taken from him. Each man had four or
five ounces.

A CASE OF HEART DISEASE.
william ]. Fry Did Not Commit Suicide In
the Jail-Thc Muscles of His Heart We're

William ]. Fry Did Not Commit Suicide In
the JaIl-Thc Muscles of His Henrt Were
Worn Out.
William j. Fry, aged % years, was found
lying dead on the floor of his ceilin the Jail,
yesterday morning, and it was at first
thought to be case OF suicide. When the
body was taken to the morgue and stripped,
four wounds were found in the left breast,
Just over the heart, and lead pencil found
on the floor of Fry's cell was found to have
been the instrument with which they were
inflicted.
The Coroner ordered post-mortem exam
ination to be made by Drs. Guy McCandless
and Chessrown yesterday afternoon. The
result of their investigation shows that
hear disease was the cause of death. The
Coroner said last night that the physicians,
in examining Fry's body, found that he had
been suffering from heart disease for a long
period, and that the muscles of the heart
were badly ruptured and broken. Accord
ing to the developments Of the autopsy, the
wounds in the breast of the deceased were
inflicted while he was suffering excruciating
pain, as they were only superficial, none
being more than one-fourth Of an inch
deep.
Judging from the result of the autopsy,
Coroner Mcdowell has the following theory
of the case: Fry had been suffering intense
pain, and had taken pencil and paper to
write a letter to his mother. A piece of
paper on which was written, "Dear mother,
1 am very SICK" was found in his cell.
While making the attempt to write Fry
was seized with violent pain, and, having
the pencil in his hand, struck himself on
the breast near the seat of the pain
with the hand holding the PEN
Gil. The point penetrated his white
shirt and his undershirt. Only one
hole was found through the garments, and
as there are four wounds he must have
opened his shirts before striking himself the
second time. Three of the wounds have the
appearance of having been made by striking
sideways while the other is pointed straight
in corresponding with the hole in the shirt.
Another point in import of this theory of
the case is the testimony of colored man in
the Jail with whom Fry conversed on Thurs
day morning. He says Fry complained Of
being i'll, and held his hand over his left
side as if it panied
The Coroner continued the inquest until
this morning, when he will continue the in
vestigation.

ELECTRICITY FOR ENGLAND.
The General Manager Of the westinshouse
Co. on for London with Staff OF Ex-
persia New Plant to be BufIf.


The General Manager OF the westinshouse
Co. or for London with stnf OF Ex-
PERSIA New Plant to be Built.
II. M. Byllesby, Vice President and GEN
eral Manager of the Westinghouse Electric
Company, will leave for London, England,
to-day. He will take with him q large staff
Of electrical experts and mechanical en-
gineers. 1t was learned at the office of the
company yesterday that MIR. Byllesby is
going to England to build the new works of
the Westinghouse Electric Company, Linn
tied. The latter concern was organized
some time ago in London with a capital
stock of $4,000, 900, and while il is to be
conducted as an independent comp any, it is
nevertheless branch of the Pirtsburg
works. The party will travel on the City of
Paris.
Mr.. Byllesby said last night:
"Since our company started the two GEN.
tral station plants in London of %, 900 lights
each We have made rapid strides in the elec.
trio works in England. Orders have accu-
mulated in a most phenomenal manner, and
the establishment OF e company in Engl1sd d
was necessity. The works will be built on
the same plan az those we are operating
here, and the same kind of work will be
done there. am not a stockholder of the
English company. and my mission is merely
to get the place in working order. as did
with our factory here. The company has
bought large lot on the York road, adjoin-
ing the Westinghouse Air Brake Works in
England. The electric works will be a
structure of the same kind as the one in
Pittsburg."
Mr.. Byllesby will be away for over three
months. The establishment of the company
will amount to about S100, 900, and nearly
1000 men will be employed there as soon as
the plant will be in operation.

Westinghouse Manager Goes to Europe to
Build New Plant.
ITEMS OF INTEREST FOR TIE ToILERS

An incipient strike is in progress on the
Citizens Traction line, and the road may be
tied up at any moment. The conductors
and gripmen have grievance which will
be brought to the notice of the management
of the company within a few days, and
from the determined position taken by the
men there is probability that there may
be trouble before a settlement of the differ
ence has been arrived at.
Local Assembly 2121, X. of L., composed
of the conductors and gripmen of the Citi-
zens' Traction road. had meeting in Law
renceville on Thursday night which
lasted for five hours. The assembly
came to order at midnight, and an ad-
journment was called at o'clock yesterday
morning. The men who were present at the
meeting were enjoined to keep everything
to themselves, and it was difficult to get any
of them to talk on the subject.
1t was learned, however, that the men are
not satisfied with the pay they now receive
for extra trips. The wages of The men are
"a cents per hour for regular trip, and Is
cents per hour for special trip. The men
claim that they ought to get more for an
extra trip than for an ordinary one.
Master Workman 1. N. Ross addressed
the members of the assembly at the meeting.
and he agreed with them that IS cents for
extra trips was not sufficient pay.
After considerable discussion about what
would be the proper amount they ought to
have, it was decided to ask the company to
give them SO cents per hour for an extra
trip.
A DISPATCH reporter took a trip along
Penn avenue last night to question the men
on what they were likely to do about it. But
they had all been we'll posted not to divulge
anything that transpired at the meeting.
"When are you going to present your de-
mands to the company" was the question
out to one of the conductors.
"That is further onl' ne replied. and that
was about all he had to say in regard to the
matter. Several others stated they had not
been at the meeting at all.
The assembly is composed of all the con-
ductors and gripmen of the line There were
15 new men enrolled at Thursdays meeting,
which makes all Of them members uf the x.
of L.
An effort was made to see President John
G. Holmes, last night, about the trouble of
the men, but he could not be found. Super
intendent Rugg is out OF the city.

RAILROAD MEN IN TOWN.
Pennsylvania Oaicers Attend william
Thaw's Funeral.

Pennsylvania OGicers Attend william
Thaw's Funeral.
It is not often that as many railroad men
visit the city at one time as was the case
yesterday. A special train at about
o'clock in the afternoon brought President
George B. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
road, Second Vice President Du
Barry, General Master of Trans
portation s. M. Provost, Directors
H. H.. Houston, w. Parker
Shortlidge, Amos r. Little ard Officials
John Scott, T. N. Ely, w. II. Barnes and
John N. Hutchinson, of the Northern Gen.
tral.
w. o. Hughart, President of the Grand
Rapids and indianapolis Railroad, came in
special car. Among the others were
Charles W. Cass, son OF the late President
OF the Fort Wayne; j. FL. Hughart, Mr..
Little auditor of the Pullman Company;
w. E. Lawrence, OF Chicago, aud many
others.
The Pennsylvania officials returned to
their cars Immediately after Mr.. Thaw's
funeral, and the special train started for
Cresson few minutes after 6. President
Roberts was busy answering messages as
soon as he returned to the car until it
started few minutes after.
Mr.. Provost gave a reporter few mo-
ments conversation. He said that the talk
about the Penusy wanting the Exposition
buildings for a depot was all bosh. He
said that they were well aware that Pitts
burg should have new depot, but that the
officials had not come to decision yet
about site. The depot project has laid
dormant for some time, but will be settled
when site is selected.
He said that the freight traffic of the COM
pany was unusually heavy, and it was only
by adhering to the strictest rules in the re-
turn of empty cars that the demand was sat
ished. The company is constantly building
cars, and will meet the demands.
