STORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
The Sole Survivor Tells of the EX-
Derience OF the Men.

perience OF the Men.
MILWAUKEE, April 2O.-MiIler, the
man who was rescued from the crib by
a life-Saving crew, was able this
evening to give the story
of the tragedy. He said the
crib house was so dangerous
tha t all hands, fifteen in number, went
down into the air lock. They were quite
comfortable there until the house was
blown away. They knew it was gone
when the air pump stopped working.
This was about o'clock. When the
pump stopped, the air kept growing
worse until $50 o'clock, when it be-
came so bad that it was proposed by
some to leave the lock and take chances
outside. The subject was discussed for
some time and finally all agreed to il, as
it was found they could not live
much longer where they were.
Accordingly the air lock was
opened and the water allowed to come
in Mcbride. Dwyer, Gregg. Johnson,
Leikowitz and Miller succeeded in get
ting out of the lock to the surface. To
do this they had to climb up through
ten feet of water. The other nine,
Miller says, could not find the ladder,
and they did not get on the crib and
were drowned in the lock. When he
got on the crib, Miller wound the wire
cable, which runs from drum to
ward the shore, around his arm,
and was then able to hold on until the
life-boat arrived. He says that Dwyer,
Gregg, johnson and Leik0witz held on
about half an hour, and then. one by
one. were swept away. Mcbride held
Oh until within ten minutes of the ar
rival of the boat, and he, too, sue
cumbed, and was washed of before the
arrival of the boat. Miller complains
bitterly of the way in which the men on
the crib were lett to the fury of last
nights storm.
The action of the contractors is very
curious, to say the least. Not only
have they refused to give out the
names Of the men who were on the crib,
but this afternoon Henry Barber, the
foreman, placed q man at the door at
the emergency hospital with orders to
stop any one from talking with Miller,
though this did not succeed,

A DepIorabIe suicide.

ELKHART. June 29-Orlando Byer,
aged thirty years, a news agent on the
l. 5. d NJ S. train, No. 3, due here at
2:4O p. m, committed suicide by jumping
from the train this afternoon near Cos
hen
The deed was a very deliberate one and
a letter which he handed to Charles
Langdon OF this city before he took the
fatal leap plainly indicates that he had
fully planned the move. He had made
only three trips as agent, and during his
stops at Toledo he had been visiting a
young lady at Norwalk. O., and when he
started on his fatal trip he seemed in
the best OF spirits until Goshen was
reached, when the brakeman noticed him
in the smoker apparently down hearted
over a box of cigars which had been sto-
len. He had previously lost about $15
worth of goods. He was discouraged
over his loss, which he had TO make
good TO the company. After making the
discovery that he had been robbed he
handed Langdon a letter, which the
brakeman proceeded to read, Byer in the
meantime stepping out on the platform.
Langcon then realized the intentions of
his movements.
He rushed out on the platform, but
he (Byer) was gone Langdon imme-
diately notified the conductor who
thought that the train had proceeded
too far to go back and he reported the
occurrence TO the superintendent here
and special train was sent out for the
remains. The body was found to have
fallen on the ties of a sidetrack and
the neck, back, one leg and one arm
were broken.
The letter he gave to Brakeman Lang
don was as follows:
Il. S. & NJ s., on Board Train No. 8:
II anything happens TO me before
reaching Elkhart send my enlarged
picture and watch TO Miss Carrie Fra
zier Of Norwalk. o.. and notify Lodge
No. Al OF New Haven. o."
1t is supposed that he was respondent
over his losses by robbery and his quar-
rel with his sweetheart On his person
were found badge of the /. o. o. F.
and letter from Miss Frazier, upbraid-
ing him for not visiting her more often.

his mind Is at times deranged.

with a revolver in his pocket. He ag-
gravated the woman. then pulled the
revolver. a self-cockiDg six-shoOter and
attempted to fire. The woman recognized
the situation and grabbed the mans
arm. \ hard tussel followed. Finally,
with his arm behind her. the revolver
was fired The BAH entered just above
and at the rear OK the left hip. With
superhuman strength the woman dis
armed her husband before he could
again FIRE Seibel left the house, went
To police headquarters and waited there
an hour. while the whole police force
was searching for him He says he is
sorry he did not Kill her.
He attempted suicide by cutting a
blood vessel. but after the cash had
been inflicted in one arm. he decided
that he would not die. but would wait
another chance at the woman's life in
case this attempt Is not fatal.
The 3S-Caliber siX-shooter was full for
the occasion and Seibel said he intended
10 shoot them all into his wife.
