A FORGER.

Suicide.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November Ed
ward J. Shultz. of New York, well
known theatrical manager, committed
suicide here to-day at his room in the
Hotel Victoria by shooting himself
through the head. Domestic and finan-
cial troubles are supposed to have
prompted the deed Shultz was under
sentence to pay alimcny To his wife,
who was divorced from him some time
ago in New York This is given as one
of the reasons for the suicide. but de-
velopments late tonight tend TO prove
that he was a forger TO the extent OF
1886, he having used the names Of
Joseph Jefferson and his sons without
consent c. b. Jefferson, who manages
the finances of his father, when seen to-
night would not talk further than to
merely corroborate the above state
ment and that mis- fathers name was
used for the bulk OF the amount.

MURDERED.
Body of Young Art Student Fished
Out OF the Water in N. Y.

NEW YORK, November 2.--There Is
no room for doubt that the body found
in the bay at Key Port, n. j.. last even
ing was that of Frederick Hardy, Jr.,
OF Mount Pleasant, Tenn, or that tbs
young man The was II years OF age)
was murdered and an attempt made To
conceal the crime by sinking the corpse
in the bay by means of a large stone
attached TO the body by means of
rope. The accumulation Of gases in
the body caused II TO rise to the SUN
face and the finding of 1t by oystermerV
followed. The pockets Of the young
mans clothing were turned inside out
and his money and watch were gone.
There were evidences that Hardy had
been beaten on the head until dead or
unconscious. Hardy, who came to New
York to take up the study OF art, was
last seen alive Sunday evening, October
%, when he left the home of u. G.
Moxham, an old friend OF his familys
living in the Fort Hamilton section OF
Brooklyn, for his boarding place near
by. He could not have had more than
$50 with him. The mother OF the muir
dered man and his sister sailed for Eu-
rope recently. His father came east
when informed OF the disappearance OK
his son and. with relatives residing
here, is doing all in his power to dis
cover the perpetrators Of the murder.
Several visiting cards bearing the
name of Fritz Hardy" were found last
Saturday among the shrubs and trees
which cover the declivity from the shore
road to the waters edge at Ninety
ninth street. Brooklyn. No significance
was attached TO the fact until the fact
Of the finding of Hardys body was pub
lished to-day. Then a close examine
ton of the vicinity was made and upon
a fence which guards the water side OF
the shore road stains which looked like
blood were discovered. II seems prob
able that Hardy was assaulted and muir
dered here and his body towed across
the Narrows and down the bay TO near

fifteen miles The summer residence

KINGSTON, Jamaica, November e
The government of Costa Rica has
definitely refused to surrender RGther-
ford, the man charged with the murder
of the American citizen, Archer, anleSs
the British government guarantees not
tc infiict capital punishment, TO which
The government cannot accede, thus
closing the case so far as Jamaica is
concerned.
-tarly in 1897 an American, Best
Harding Archer, arrived in Jamaica
for me purpose of taking up land and
Engaging in fruit cultivation. To all
appearances he possessed considerable
means both in ready money and per-
sonai effects. AS companion aud part
ner in his venture Archer secured the
services of a jamaican named Ruther-
ford. October %, 1897, the body of
Archer was found in an unfrequented
spot in a pool of blood. The body
showed two pistol wounds. The effects
of the deceased were found ID have
been stolen.
IN spite of these facts the police Of
the district, after a delay of a week,
set up a theory of suicide. In January,
1875, the government formally notified
the United States consul that Archer
had committed suicide. Rutherford,
who Immediately disappeared from the
island, was located in Costa RIGA,
where he was arrested on an extradi-
tior warrant from the Jamaican gov

SEVERAL RIVER BOATS AND
GAVE BATTLE TO TWO ARMOR-
ED STEAMERS-ONE GOVERN
MENT BOAT BADLY CRIPPLED.

NEW YORK, November "A dis
patch to the Herald from Panama,
Colombia, says: French steamer ar
irving at Colon has brought official de-
tails of the naval engagement between
the government forces and the revolu-
tionists on the Magdalena river, at Pu-
erta Nacional, on October "a.
The government forces were on the
armored steamers Hercules and Colom-
bia, which were well fitted up and
armed for war purposes. The rebels
had several river boats. which they had
seized, but the vessels were not ar
mored in any way and were wholly I'M
provided with fighting facilities.
The battle lasted more than four
hours and the fighting was very severe.
The revolutionists fought like heroes.
but the odds against them were too
great, and they were finally forced to
yield.
The Colombia's machinery was dis
abled after the first shot had been fired.
The rebels on the powerful dredge
Cristobal Colon. were just about to
board the disabled steamer in the mid
die Of the river when the Hercules
steamed up the river and shot at close
quarters from her Hotchkiss gun, and
sunk the dredge with all on board.
More than 200 men were killed or
wounded in the desperate battle All
accounts agree that the affair was dis
astrous to the reyolutionists, though
the government loss was very heavy.
The steamers Elena, Cisneros, Bar
anquilla and ELDERS were recaptured by
the government forces and towed down
the river in an almost worthless con-
dition from the effects of the heavy
fire poured into them for four hours.
One of the prominent rebel leaders
in the engagement was Col. Eustachio

governments side. was badly wounded
in the right eye.

WHITES NEW DANGER

His Line of Communication With tho Sea
Likely to Be Cut-The Bombardment of
Iadysmith Intended TO Keep the British
Engaged.
LONDON, November 1.-The brevity
since Tuesday night has not relieved
the anxiety prevailing here regarding
the position of the British army at
Lcdysmith. The war Office has no in
formation of Major Gen. Butler, the
British commander in South Africa,
having left Cape Town.
A special dispatch from Ladysmith
says 20 British dead and 100 wounded
have been counted on the scene of Mon
days disaster, while $40 prisoners were
sent to Pretoria.
Colenso, in the rear of Gen. Whites
forces, Is believed to be well defended
by a composite naval and military
corps, and it is understood that the
two naval 12-pounders mounted near
the bridge over the Tugela, one of the
most vulnerable points along the rail-
road from Ladysmith to Pietermaritz-
burg, ought to be able to defend it and
prevent its destruction. If the Beers
succeeded in destroying this bridge it
would mean the interruption of rail-
road communication with Ladysmith
=, IND Of, MI iod VUhi1n q
r Der attempts in this direction are not
confirmed, it is claimed that they may
be expected momentarily, and the re-
ported steady Smelling of Ladysmith, it
is added, points to the intention of the
Boer commanders to keep Gen. White
occupied while their strategy is car
ried out
The only official information received
this morning from the seat of war in
addition to the brief dispatch from Gen.
White, saying he was well and holding
his position, were the lists of casual
ties.
An official telegram reporting the
condition of the wounded at Kimberley
adds that Col. Kekewitch. the British
commander there, has learned from va
rious sources that the Boer losses on
the occasion of the late sortie of the
British troops from Kimberley were
very heavy.
The newspapers here continue to ex-
press keen pleasure at the sympathy OF
the United States. The ST. James Ga
zctte says: Few more graceful exam
pies could be imagined of the courteous
spirit OF American sympathy with this
country, which has been so often evil
