port-Brool<lyn Inquiry.
 Albany, Jan. 2.-Senator Lexow seem ed much disinclined to talk to-day about the future of his Investigating committee. When asked if it was likely to request an extension of the time granted in which to perform it's work, and also for broadening of the scope of any inquiry that may be con ducted hereafter. he replied that noth- ing had been decided yet with refer ence to that phase of the matter.

 Charles R. Coan.

Charles R. Coan.
 A large circ'e of friends will learn with deep sorrow of the death of Mrs. Ella J. Evarts of Central Park, l.. l., sister of Charles R. Coan of this city. She came to this city four weeks ago yester- day to spend the holiday season in New Haven, her old home, with her brother, MT. Coan, of the Security Insurance company. Her health had not been of the best owing to severe prostration, resulting from the excitement and shock resultant upon the burning of barns and other buildings on the farm and country seat of herself and hus- band, and the narrow escape of their house from being destroyed. The fire occurred in the night. She came here partly for change of scene. Last Mon day she was out enjoying sleigh ride with her brother and was feeling much benefited from her stay here. During the night Monday night she became very i'll, and Dr. Charles Vishno was summoned. The case was found to be one of acute peritonitis. She grew rapidly worse and yesterday noon Dr. Vishno, the elder, and another physician were in consultation on the case but despite all efforts she failed, dying at 5:30 yesterday afternoon. She was the youngest daughter of the late Major and Mrs. D. R. Coan, and beside her husband leaves three brothers, Charles R. of this city and Bennett F. and William A., of Cincinnati, the former of whom is secretary of the Ohio Mutual Life association, the other of whom is in the advertising agency business. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. H. C. Percy, now of New York city, whose husband is agent of the New York Life Insurance company at Niagara Falls. The husband of the deceased, Charles M. Evarts, is a retired manufacturer of Brooklyn, N. Y. The deceased was a devout member of the Episcopal church and very active and useful in church work, and will be greatly missed. She was a former member of St. PauPs church, this city.
 Funeral services will be held at the home of Mir Charles R. Coan, 1S4 Woos- ter street this evening at 8 o'clock, Rev MT. Lines officiating The remains will be taken to Brooklyn tomorrow for interment in Greenwood cemetery.

Butler of the National Tradesmens bank was interviewed on the subject last night and said: The company has been doing an immense business. but in common with other companies has felt the eff fleets of the prolonged business depres- sion. and it has not deemed it wise to pay the custpmry dividend at this time I think it has acted more wisely than to pay a dividend it had not fully earned The company's course is one to inspire confidence, rather than other wise. do not think there is any cause for alarm in the case among the holders of the stock.
 No, added MT Butler, I hardly think there is million dollars worth of stock held in New Haven, but I know there is large amount held here, run ming well up into the hundreds of thou sands of dollars.

Itis Not Believed That Defaulter Scott Was
 Abducted.

Abducted.
 Omaha, Jan. ? Private despatches received here from O'Neill, the county seat of Holt county, are unanimous lin the opinion that the so-called abduction of Bartlett Scott, the defauIting county treasurer, was for theatrical effect. Scott is under $7O, 900 bonds pending a decision of his case in the. supreme court, and it is believed that the ah- duction story was got up to relieve his bondsmen of responsibility and afford him chance to get out of the country. People familiar with the neighboF- hood of O'Neill believe that Scott has gone north into the Indian country, in South Dakota, where he will be prao- tically safe from pursuit.

Saved His Passengers.

ATLANTA, Oct. 5.-Alex. Atkins, an
engineer on the Atlanta and West Point
railroad was killed in a collision this
morning one mile below Red Oak. At
kins was engineer on the New York and
New Orleans fast mail which left here
at 6 o'clock this morning, Is minutes late.
At East Point be received orders to pass
northbound passenger train at Red Oak.
Instead of stopping at the station, he ran
through at forty miles an hour. Con-
ductor Law signelled the engineer to
stop, but Atkins paid no attention to the
bell. Then Law ran through the train
and threw piece of coal over the tender
to attract the engineers attention. Still
Atkins kept on. Law, who had signed
the orders at East Point, then cut the cars
loose from the tender. The engine sped
on and 20 hundred yards further, crashed
into the approaching local train. The
automatic brakes on the fast mail stop
ped the detached train and the passen-
gers escaped.
Engineer McDade of the northbound
train reversed his engine and jumped.
His fireman and the fireman on the
southbound train also jumped. Atkins
stuck to his engine and was terribly
crushed. He was not unconscious at
first, though, and begged the trainmen
who went to work to rescue him to give
him something to relieve his agony. He
died three hours later. A postal clerk
named Boyd on the northbound train
was badly injured, but will recover. It
is presumed that Atkins got mixed on
his orders, as he had first received his in
structions to pass the northbound train
several miles below Red Oak.
