AS FROM THE GRAVE
A Message from a Supposed
 Park Place Victim.
CUMM1N IS ALIVE AND WELL,
A Corpse Had Been Identified as His
 and Was Buried by His Wife.

She Received Nearly 89OO From the Re
 lief Fund and S15O From the Printer,
 Union--The Supposed Dead Man Now iD
 Halifax--How He Got There--An the
 Result of a Spree.
 NEW YORK, Sept 15.-When the old Taylor building on Park place tumbled in and crushed the life out of over three score people none of the bodies recovered from the ruins were mourned over more deeply than the one that was identified as Sherman Cummin, popular "comp," on the Mail and Express, and a leading member of Typographical Union No. 6.
 Mrs. Cummtn positively identified one torn and charred body as that of her hus- band. Cummin's brother, when called to identify the body, hesitated at first and then became convinced that it was that of his relative.
 So the body was taken to Mrs. Cum minis home, and was buried with due ceremony.
 When the money subscribed for aid for the bereaved families came to be divided Mrs. Cummin's share of the Mayors fund was nearly $90O. She received also $15O from the Typographical Union. Mrs. Cummin, after receiving the money, d neighborhood some distance away.
 Last night a messenger boy delivered a cable message to Mrs. Cummin. It was brief, but very much to the point, and took load off the little woman's heart for it contained the information that her husband was in Halifax alive and well and that he would start at once for home
 Sherman Cummin's story is strange one. Up to noon of the day of the Park place disaster he worked in the com posing room of the Mail and Express. At that hour he left the paper and started toward Park place, presumably with the intention of going to Petersen's restau- rant for lunch. He has not since been seen by his friends. No one knew that he did not go to Petersen's and his mys- terious disappearance was set down as a sure indication that he had perished in the ruins.
 It now appears, though, that he did not go near Petersen's on Park place, but rather to some other establishment, where the goods that were sold were less substantial and affected ones nervous powers differently. In other words, he didn't know in which direction Park place lay in half an hour, and he was not sure whether or not he had to take a boat to get there. But to make sure of the thing he took a boat, 8 sailing ship, and found himself yesterday in Halifax. Without delay he cabled home. The question now arises whether Mrs. Cummin will have to turn over the $900 given her by Mayor Grant and the $15O donated by Typographical Union N. 6.

The Investigation Will Be Continued By
 the Treasury Department.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 15.-After the con- ference held at the Treasury Department between Acting Secretary Spaulding, So- hcitor Hepburn and Comptroller Lacey, as to the power of the government to ac' cept advances of money to continue the examination into the affairs of the Key stone National Bank of Philadelphia, tho following telegram was sent to the chair man of the committee of fifty:
 "The revised statutes of the United States provides that no department of the government shall expend in any one fiscal year any sum in excess of appro- priations made by Congress for the fiscal year, or involve the government in any contract for the future payment of money in excess of such appropriations
 "The act of March, 1891, provides an appropriation of $5, GOO for the necessary investigation of violations of Section 5,092 of the revised statutes of the United States, and for no other purpose whatever
 ''Of the amount appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, more than $4, GOO has already been expended, and largely in connection with the inves- tigation of the affairs of the Keystone National Bank leaving less than $40O to cover similar investigations throughout the entire country during the entire nine months of the present fiscal year. This is the only appropriation available for such purpose.
 '"The above states fully the condition of the appropriation and the laws, but as it is the desire of this department that the investigation into the affairs of the bank be thorough and exhaustive, and that all the facts be brought to light, you are informed that, if as proposed, your committee shall advance the money necessary to continue the investigation it shall proceed under the direction of this department, and the Secretary of the Treasury will ask Congress to make an appropriation to reimburse the ad-

WHO SHOT THE POLICEMAN ?

A Remarkable Change of Sentiment in
 Behalf of Actor Curtis.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. 15.-There has developed remarkable change of public sentiment, and half the people now be- ieve that M. B. Curtis, the comedian, is an innocent man.
 There is much mystery surrounding the whole affair. The theory of Curtis friends, that another hand than his fired the shot which killed Officer Grant, gains support from a story told by Eli Deni- son, who has charge of news matter dis tributed on trains of the Southern Pacific Company,
 Denison, who lives in Oakland, makes the following statement: "On the ferry boat Sunday night met 8 man I know by sight, but not by name. We were discussing various subjects and the con- versation naturally drifted toward the murder.
 This talk about Curtis having done the killing is all a mistake,' said the stranger. The whole truth will come out in few days. met a man to-day who says he saw the tragedy, and he is ready to take oath that Grant and Curtis were accompanied by third man who did the shooting and then ran.''

TO NAME THE TICKET
The Democratic State COnVen-
 tiOn at Saratoga.
CALLED TO ORDER AT NOON.
A Long Wait Expected for the Report oi
 the Committee on Credentials.

Many Contests to Be Decided--Some Little Contention Still Exists Between the Two Facttons--County Democracy Delegates Denied Admission--The Ticket that Will Likely Be Nominated.
 SARATOGA, N. Y., Sep. 15.-The Demo- cratic State Convention wal called to order at noon to-day in the Casino Rink by State Committeeman Edward Mur- phy. Temporary Chairman George Raines then assumed control of the gavel, and after somewhat lengthy beech the variousE committees were ap- pointed and an adjournment taken.
 That the differences between the two factions was not thoroughly patched up before the convention was called to order there is now no denying.
 In fact, just before the convention met, the talk of the Erie County delgegates, of calling another convention, was revived. Said prominent anti-Hill man: "There are 250 contestants and only 384 mem bers of the convention and the Cleveland men, with the exception of Herrick, will all come out if we call them out, and the Chapin men will be glad to go with us. '' All such talk as this, however, is ridi- culed.
 Large OA OOhtcSCs
 A great many of the delegates began to talk this morning of the possibility of adjourning the convention to-day. The managers, however, have no such idea. The settlement of the contests for SC ats means much to the party. They cannot be disposed of hastily if harmony is to be preserved.
 As matters now stand 1t looks as if the real work of the convention would not be reached to-day. The Committee on Credentials has it's hands full, having to settlesthe many contests which are be- fore the convention. There is much evi- dence to be presented and considered and though the committee went in ses- sion at 3 o'clock this afternoon it may be late tonight when it's report is com pleted
 The Probable Ticket.
 The ticket will very likely be:
 Governor-Roswell P. Flower.

 Secretary of state-Frank Rice, renomi- nation.
