The Colonel's Predicamenf,

Ihe other morning while the GAZETTE
man was sitting in his sanctum feeling for a
new place to scratch for an idea, he was
startled by loud. knocks and mysterious
noises that issued from some place near at
hand. After several vain attempts to locate
the disturbance, the scribe returned to his
den and went cunning again for ideas.
Finally the noise ceased. This was the lull
before the storm. Presently a shadowy
form was seen meandering around on the
tin roof just opposite-the reporters window.
1t gamboled up to tine front of the building,
and, craning it's head up over the high brick
wall at the front OF the structure, gazed
down into the street below. Sighting a
couple Of boys. on the pavement across the
street, it opened up conversations. "Oh,

is Will Yates? He locked nae in. Yes,

the man with. the pencil for his valuable
services, the Colonel departed. A few
minutes later he but5nnholed Will Yates on
a street corner and Will had to bring into
play all the tricks he had acquired in his
years of practice, to convince the Colonel
that he was innocent of the charge of having
perpetrated a joke upon him.

THE CORNELL MURDER MYSTERY
Inquest on the Victim of students' Fatal
"Fun" Adjourned.

<hhJourncUs
ITHACA, NY, Feb 23-The city author
tiles think they have several clews that
will lead to the arrest of the sophomores
who caused the death of Mary jackson,
the colorsd cook, by liberating chlorine
gas in the kitchen adjoining the dining
room, where the freshmen were holding
their class supper Wednesday night. They
think they know who purchased the tools
to make the holes in the floor Of the
kitchen and where some of the chemicals
used came from. The suspected students
are being watched, and will be arrested il
they try to leave town.
The coroner's inquest in the case of Mrs.
jackson was begun yesterday afternoon,
but after some evidence had been received
1t was adjourned for one week. From
none of the witnesses could it he learned
how entrance was affected to the room
below. the kitchen.
On the jug in which the poisonous gas
was generated, and which was found in
the room, was discovered an address, mo.

dross to which the Jug had been delivered.

A student named Taylor and L. l.. Din

knowledge of the affair, most of them
proving that they had not left their rooms
on the evening in question. 1t is rumored
that Dingen and Taylor have left town,
but there is no proof that they are not in

From none of the druggists could it be
learned where the sulphuric acid and po-

THE WIMAN SENSATION
The Accused Ex-Millionaire Re-
fuses to Talk,
SAYS HE COMMITTED NO CRIME.

When His Time Comes to Speak His
Statement May Give Another Color to
the Charges Made Against Him-His
Accuser or for California.
New York, Feb. 23.--The arrest of Eras-
tus Wiman for forgery and his imprison-
ment for want of bail is subject of gen
eral comment and wonderment. In the
business districts down town it was dis
cussed to the exclusion of all other mat
ters.
Few men were better known in financial
and commercial circles In this city. In
domitable perseverance, his greed for hard
work and his accomplishment of purposes,
commendable and admirable in them
selves, had for many years made him a
prominent figure in New York state.
The shock of the announcement of his
arrest was increased when it became
known that, like common felon, he had
been locked in cell in the "murderers'
row" in the Tombs prison.
Warden Fallon explained this unusual
happening in this way:
by placing Mr.. Wiman there I did not
intend to subject him to any indignity.
The reason placed Wiman in No. 3 was
that he would have cell to himself, and
as he came in so late in the evening it was
impossible to place him elsewhere
Mr.. Wiman promises to speak when his
turn comes, and it is expected that he will
then give another color to the story already
told of his alleged forgeries. He contends
that he has committed no crime, but
only did what he had n right to do by rea-
son OF his business relations with the mer-
camille agency. Beyond this simple asser-
tim lon
tions made by Mr.. Dun until he is per-
fectly prepared to make public his state
ment of facts concerning the charges pre-
ferred against him.
Considerable surprise was expressed in
the city today that Mr.. Dun should have
left for California just at the time Mr..
Wman's $ arrest was contemplated.
EN-District Attorney Delaney Nicoll,
when seen this morning, declined TO talk
about the matter and said that he was not
prepared to make any public statement of
Mr. Dun's charges
General Tracy said last night that he
had been busy all day looking over the In
dictments and examining the papers relat-
ing to the charges made against Mr.. Wi
man. To-day he is endeavoring to have
his client released on bail.
The news of the arrest of Erastus Wi
man was received with shock on Staten
Island, his home. The story was at first
generally discredted, and newsboys who
attempted to sell papers giving an account
of the arrest We're put of the trains, and
Were not allowed TO sell the papers on the
streets.
Mr.. Wiman has always been held in high
esteem by nearly everybody on Staten
Island. Mrs. Wiman is nearly heart broken
with grief over her husbands arrest, but
| she believes he is innocent.

cuers at work in the Gaylord shaft are
now working under great difficulties, an
other cavein being threatened from the
head of the slope. The roof over the place
where the men are now at work is twenty
feet high, and it is almost impossible to
prop it so as to insure safety. The roof
may hold together for an indefinite period,
or again it may fall at any moment,
crushing those who are at work beneath
it. There seems to be but little hope of
