WIRING DONE BY THE SAME PERSON.
Yonkers was full of rumors yesterday that there
would be several arrests in connection with the
murder OF IIamn J. Andrus but there appears to
be no founda ton for them. the police and Coro-
ner Miles say that they have not yet thought OF
making arrest. but likely to do so in day
or two. The Inquest into the death OF Mr. Andrus
which booked to occur yesterday afternoon
has been again postponed. and will probably be
held tomorrow evening.

This statement Is of much importance. II may be
remembered that Hiram Andrus acknowledged that
he knew something about electricity: that he
placed tho wires under the building for the call

D split In the Prohibition party at the
Pittsburgh convention, said tonight:
There will be no split in the Pro-

to the party as there are TO all political
parties. One wing favors declaration
simply on Prohibition and silence on
ali other political questions, including
equal suffrage, monopolies, finance,
etc, which the party has declared for
In past years.
''The other wing believes that the
party must declare on all political
questions that are before the people
and that silence will be equal TO sane
ton Of present conditions.
"Thus far somewhat over one-third
Of l,100 delegates to the national con-

four-fifths Of the election delegates
favor the broad platform adopted at
