walking up Lake street after they had
finished skating they saw two men talk
ing. They passed on ahead. Tho witness
thought their conduct was strange be-
cause they came from a nelghboring Ice
house. They reached the lake about 7:30
O'clock and heard the shots fired hfteeu
minutes later. This contradicts the tes-
timony Of Mrs. Naegale. who swore ths
shots were fired at o'clock.
Horace L. Wells. paying teller OF the
City Bank, testified to changing bills OF
a larger denomination for 800 ones for
Hayward.

with the two and overheard all they
said.

fense received a blow this morning. Mrs.

fendant, was on the stand, and Attorney

the state interposed an objection. ths
court sustaining II.
Mr.. Erwin stated that he wished to
show that Adry Hayward. the brother OF
| the defendant, was insane and had made
/ his statement which he believed to
be honest, to Elder Stewart, while under

Judge Smith stated that it was for the
court to rule upon the competency Of a
/ witness to testify. When Adry had gone
on the stand the defense had not intro
duced evidence to show that he was not
| competent and the court had declared him
competent. Therefore, testimony could
not now be introduced to show Adry in
sane.
! The defense took exception to the ruling,
! claiming that they have the right to at
| tack the credibility of the witness, Adry,
/ by proving insanity.
The court did not allow Mrs. Hayward
| to testify In this relation, however.
! The defense state that they will not
attempt to prove the legality OF the evil
dence, but will rest upon their exception.

Washington Feb. Pop. Bogdanoff,
first secretary OF the Russian legation,
shot himself with pistol this morning
at 10 o'clock, IN his sleeping apartment,

the maid at the lodgings visited his rooms
and took his order for breakfast When
she returned fifteen minutes later she
was astonlshed to find him dead no noise
having been heard in the meantime. From
the circumstances, however, no doubt IS
entertained that the fatal shot was fired
by his own hand.

any idea OF his whereabouts. but 70 is more
than probable that ne is out Of the coun-

to remain In any part of the United states
long without detection. for the reason that
he is known personally by every one Of

schools here during the past thirty years.
Some old student or cadet would be sure
to recognize him. and no one knows this
fact better than Figgatt
"The tieing up Of twenty odd thousand

that school, or force It to close. The board
of visitors Of the institute VIII arrange its

The Principal business Blocks iR

Utica, N. Y, Feb. 2O--At $3.50 O'Clock last
night fire was seen in the furniture store
Of Rowlands g. Beal, at Hamilton. a viii
lage twenty-nine miles south of this city.
and the seat OF Colgate University. The
one engine in the village was frozen up.
the water pressure OF a new system OF
water works was miserably small and ths
fro swept the business portion of ths
town. A stin breeze famed the flames.
and before aid could be sent from Utica
and the surrounding villages. forty busi-
ness places were totally destroyed. This
burned district includes all the buildings
facing the park and fronting on Eaton,
Broad and Lebanon streets.
In this district was the Smith block.
erected at a cost of 10000; the Trip, a
three story brick building; the Davis. a
three-story brick; the Tripp opera house.
the Shores brick building, the National
Hamilton Bank, the postoflice, the en-
gine house. the Masonic hall, the Ham
ilton Sentinel building. the Rowlands
building. the Mott brick building, the
Dodge estate stone building. the Banning
estate brick building, Bonney & Meldon's
brick building. Haskelrs building. the Rice
building and the Smith estate building.
These are the principal structures and
In them were many stores and Offices.
Practically nothing was saved. Merchan-
disc and goods, which were removed to
the street caught fire and burned or were
spoiled by rivulets from melting snow.
1t will be long before Hamilton RECEIVERS
from this conhagration. All of the busi-
ness blocks were destroyed.
Conservative estimates place the loss
at $780, 60, with a nominal insurance,
