When Informed late last night that Con.
ductor Scott would not bear him out in
his statements. Engineer Wooley said:
1t does not make any difference to me
what Mr.. Scott says. l have nothing
further to add to my statement. There
was one other who heard what
he told me, and that is the
fireman Of my engine, and under
the circumstances I would not be SO
foolish as to make any misstatemeuts."
He then repeated his statement previous
ly published. Continuing ne sald:-
There can be no doubt but that the con-
ductor told me chat No. 9 had passrd :.
When got on my seat / said, Are you
sure that No. 9 has passed. He said.
Yes and my fireman heard him.
asked him about the board. and he re-
piled, All right. 90 ahead.'
Conductor Scott says he will stand on
his statement before the people aud the
bar of justice. He says he had no inten-
tion Of trying to avoid arrest. aud as soon
as he learned that he was wanted he
came back. ut was but natural that I
take my train to one end OF my
trip wnen could do no more
here" he said In explanation of his
going to Port Huron. Turner. the fire.

Finance Commissioners Don't Believe in
Dead Ones.
At a recent meeting of the Board of FL
nance. Clerk Martin Finck was directed
to prepare list of all the bonds of city
officials now in the possession of the Board.
The object In securing the report is to
ascertain Just how many of the city
officials whose bonds are in shape war
ranted to protect the city against all loss
IN the case OF any emergency. One fact
which will engage the attention of the
Financiers is that City Treasurer Jere-
miah B. Cleveland will have to secure a
bondsman as substitute for John M.
Shannon. Mr.. Shannon was bondsman
for Mr.. Cleveland in the sum of $4,000.
Shannon Is dead and a new bond will
probably be called for at the next meeting
of the Board
City Collector P. H. O'Neill is in SINH
sponsor for him in the sum of $1,000 Mr..
Ward being dead. substitute will have
TO be found. Frank Woodcock the Permit
Clerk of che Street and Water Board will
also require a new bondsman. James
Roche his bondsman, in the sum of s., ,000
Is dead. All of these matters will have to
be rectieed and in a dozen other cases
there is a suspicion that many of the
bondsmen have sold there realty and as a
result are not qualified to become bonds
men One OF these cases is that of Henry
Traphagen. who is surety for City Clerk
Scott, in the sum of s25,000. There is to
be no trouble over the matter, but the
Finance Commissioners want to get the
bonds in good shape and then put thom in

II WASsDR. GRAVES BODY
The Story Of the Pine Log a Fish
Peddler's Yarn.

THOMPSON, Conn.,, Oct. 81, 1S93.-Tha
story teiegraphed from Denver TO the
effect that the coffin, supposed to contain
the body Of DR.. Graves. held only pine
log is having the effect OF huge joke in
Thompson and the surrounding country.
The story was started soon after
the arrival of DR.. GRAY e's boyd
by several practical iokers, who
for want OF better pastime
related the yarn about the pine log to a
gulHble and not over bright old fish
peddler. He swallowed the story. aud
then for several days. as he travelled hi s
route, be tJld 1t to housewives, servant
girls and farmers. who received the tale
with varying degrees of credeuce.
The undertaken who took charge of the
remains when they arrived at West
Thompson. the superintendent of the
cemetery and others who saw the coffin,
pronounced the story as lie out of
whole cloth; but still the fshmonger kept
relating it. But he is about the only one
In Thompson who believes the yarn.
Charles N. Chandler and Stephen
Morseo of Thompson. probably told the
story In Denver as they heard 1t here.
Whether they believe it themselves or
not Is conundrum; but 1t is said that
left home.
Cornelius v. Chaplin. a Thompson
livery man. who Is also postmaster, says
that he received a message from James
4. Tallman Of Hartforc, Conn.,. DR..
Graves brother in law on the day
the body arrived, asking him
e e. meet Sa train at West Thompson.
n. Bates of Thompson, George H
Nichols, Superinte ndent of the West
Thompson Cemetery, and others were
present Mr.. Tallmau arrived with the
wooden case containing the coffin. The
box was very heavy and required eight
men to lit 1t into the wagon.
Mr.. Chaplin was present the day when
the caskeE was placed in the receiving
tomb. and last Tuesday was preseuE at
the funeral and saw IL inferred in the
grave. E@
William N. Bates. the Thompson un-
dertaker. who took charge Of the remains,
says that he conveyed the box to the
receiving tomb. Some flowers were on
top Of the box and he took of the lid aud
put them inside. He noticed that the
cofiiu was inside Of Theoretically sealed
zinc box. He then screwed down the
lid, and the case was left in the tomo and
not opened agaiu.
AT the funeral last Tuesday the box
and DR.. Graves's remains were put into
the grave. Mr. Bates said that he was
sure that q human body was inside tue
box, as there was the usual natural evil
dence of the fact. the body not having
been. enbalmed. Mr.. Bates said the
story told by Chandler aud Morse doubt
less emanated from the tishmonger's
tales. -
C. H. Nichols, Superintendent of the
cemetery, left for Chicago yesterday. but
he has told people that the story was abs
solutely untrue and that he was very
sure that the casket was not tampered
with while In his custody.

Loss-The Way the Gang
Operated.

The cabins Of several boats belonging
to members of the Jersey City Yacht
Club, and lying off the Communipaw
shore were broken into last night aud
over 81 900 worth of property was car
ried off. The robbery was disco yered
by the jauItor of the clubhouse
when he male his usual rounds OF the
boats this morning. He was first ap-
prlsed OF it when he boarded the Bessie"
Oommodre Garry Van Horns boat
The door OF the cabin is fastened
by heavy three-eightn of an iucn brass
staple with short uips. This staple had
been ripped out By some powerful instru-
ment aud the door was wide open. The
Janltor entered aud found the cabin In a
niRh state of sdisorder. Everything was
toDsv turvy.
The cushions had disappeared, all the
tools and many valuable nautical impIe-
menus were gone, aud a spy glass, valued
at Si5. which Mr.. Van Horn thoughE
great deal of. had taken wing.
There were about ten winter
away IN the cabin. and they were all
stolen.

the robbery aud Dald q visit to the boat
this morning. He said that the thieves
had evidently boarded the boat In
pateaux as their sides were scraped,
as il by snch boat. He SAYS that in all
probability they are gang of young
fellows who live along the shore and not
experienced thieves. as They left
lots of valuable things, that
could be easily taken and took
other more bulky things not SO
things they could find a use for and
those most easy to turn into readv cash.
They took none of the sails or oars. He

was broken into and everything

having as much in this cabin as the Vice
Commodore did in his. Most of his

loss will NOS be nearly as great as Mr..
Van Horns. He lost his cushions, bed

A strange thing is that there was

Thought Money Should BE Given the
Poor and Hungry.
By Cable to the United Press.
PARIS, October 81. 1893. An alarming,
though, as it subsequently proved. unim-
portant incident. occurred at midnight
last night at the Cercle Militaire, at which
Admiral Avelan and the other Russian
guests are stopping. The Russians had
just returned from the festivities at the
Hotel de Vile, and were entering the
club house, when haggard looking man
about fifty years old discharged re-
volver over the heads of the cheering
crowd assembled in front of the club
house. Nobody was hurt. but the crowd
at once jumped to the conclusion that an
attempt had been made to assasslnate one
OF the Russians, presumably Admiral
Avelan. 1t would have gone hard with
the man had not the gendarmes at once
seized him, and protected him from the
fury of the hundreds of excited French
men surrounding and threatening him.
The prisoner was locked up. He said
that his name was Willis, and that he was
hungry and needy. Disguised with the
lavish expenditure of money on foreign
ers, when there were thousands of French
men in want of bread, he had fired the
revolver as a protest. There is every
reason to believe that the man is insane
