surprise Among His Friends.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23-The surprise
and wonder of the former business col
leagues and social acquaintance of
Erastus Wiman was great when they
read yesterday startling headlines
telling of his arrest and imprisonment.
The shock of the announcement of his
arrest was increased when it became
known that like common felon he
had been locked in an ordinary cell
during the night.
Winan is we'll known to Newspaper
ers was at the Tombs early yesterday
ready and anxious to record any ex-
preston he might care to make Word
was sent to Wiman asking him for an
expression as to the charges made
against him and the situation in which
he finds himself placed. The COM
munication also asked if he would like
to see his newspaper acquaintance. In
response the prisoner sent out the fol-
lowing reply:
Il would be very glad to do SO, but
under advice of General Benjamin f.
Tracy, my counsel, will make no state4
ment until my trial comes | am sorry
to DEM anything to newspaper men,
but must adhere to that determination
for the present, and when the ammuni-
tion of moving powers against me Is
exhausted and their hired men are done
arraigaing and trying me in the news
papers. it will then be time for me TO
speak
1t looks now as if Erastus Wi
man is not very anxious to procure
bail. A bout 10 O'clock this morning he
was visited by his son, Henry d. Wi
man: his SON in-law, Normas 7. Walker,
Jr., and another gentleman who gave
his name as Mr.. Morrow They re-
NAMED in consultation until Il o'clock.
When asked by reporter if his father
would procure bail today, young
Wiman replied; Il don't think he will.
You see this is a holiday and | don't
think bail can be procured legally"
Has your father engaged counselY'
"Well as far as l know" replied
the young man, General Tracy will
defend him, but he has not seen him
since yesterday afternoon. My father
seems to be bearing up very we'll con-
sidering everything and efforts may be
made tomorrow to procure bail for
him.
The three visitors refused to discuss
the case any further and left the prison
together.
At the district attorneys Office it was
stated that none of the assistant attor-
neys had been down today, but if bail
for Wiman was desired any judge of a
court OF record would accept it.

Cutting Her Third Set of Teeth.

GosHEN. Ind, Feb pa freak Of
nature has appeared in the mouth OF
Mrs. Lueretia Palmer of Elkhart, who
is 81 years Of age and has been tooth
less for years, in the form of new
teeth. 1t has been a year since she
first noticed the growth, which is
chiefly in the back of her mouth, and
has become of late very pronounced.
One tooth has already appeared and
half dozen more are just ready &c
break through the gums. The slow.
ness of growth is probably due to heI
extreme age. Her gums are very sore
and at times swell to a oublesome
size. Mrs. Palmer is very feeble and
bent with age.
