WAS HoDGKlNs MURDERED.
Man Who Carried $500 or $500 Disap,
peared on Lake hampain-Coat
Found Near Hole in the Ice.

There is "a now grave suspicion that the
mysterious disappearance of William
Hudgllns of " csport, y. y. VINO left
Basin harbor, near Nergennes, sunday
afternoon To cross the lake ON the ice
and has not been seen since, is due not
To- drowning, but To murder.
Ot course, various theories are i'm the
air. bat ii is worthy OF note that at the
spot where his oVcrcoat and cap We're
found was "a hole i'm the ice mile and
half out of the way of the route he would
take from Basin Harbor to his home in
Wcstpurt. This hole was the only place
where he could have got INTO the water.
and hence would be the very place the
body would be taken To for concealmrnJ
If he had been murdered.
1t is not improbable that the murderer
or murderers dragged his bouy TO this
hole and sank ii and then left ms over
coat and cap in sight to give the impress
sion that he had drowned. This again is
strengthened by the fact that, If he had
fallen into the water with his overcoHt
on he would not have been able to get il
off, and he certainly wouiu not have taken
ii off before he fell N.
Another fact lat lends color to the
suspicion of foul play is that Mr. HodE-
kins had between $500 and S40o with him
when he left for his home Sunday after
noon.
The New York officers are working MI
the case and it is said that a party OF
fishermen near Westport are under close
watch.

A DAMAGING STORM.
Snow and Ice Wreck Wires and
Other Property.

The worst storm of the season In
point of damage done to property ia
the city occurred Saturday evening
and Sunday morning. The thermom-
eter stood slightly below freezing
and a slow, drizzling rain fell during
the night. The water froze where it
struck and all outdoors was ice ver-
neered. There were pounds of ice
on every tree and branch, and inches
of icicles depended from every twig.
Electric light, telegraph and tele-
phone wires and foliage stood the
strain for a few hours and then the
damage commenced. Great limbs of
the trees gave way under the big
load and weight and fell crashing to
the ground carrying with them what
ever came in reach. Mail boxes,
lamp posts and wires were thus de-
molished. The, network of wires
about the city probably sustained the
greatest damage. There are broken
lines in all directions. Telephone
communication was almost impossi-
BILE Sunday and Monday and light in
the residence part of the city was a
minus quantity Sunday evening.
The estimated damage to city prop
erty is between one and two thous
and dollars, but it will be impossible
to accurately figure this until repairs
have been ade Damage to the
switch boards of the telephone COM
panies was done by telephone wires
coming in contact with electric light
wires. Extra men have been put at
work untangling the mess of wires,
but it will take fully a week to get
anything like order out of the reign
ing chaos. The Iowa Comp any had
but one toll line operating out of the
city Monday morning and this was
to Ottumwa.
The Home company is badly Grip
pied and the telegraph lines are sad
ly mixed. 1t is the worst tangle of
the kind that the companies have
ever experienced since entering bus
mess in this city.
The town clock was stopped by
the coating of sleet and this accounts
for the cases of o~versleeping that
were reported.

A VERY SICK MAN.
The Condition of Ex-President Har-
rison Such MS to Cause Great
Alarm to His Friends.

indianapolis, Ind, March 9.-EX-
President Benjamin Harrison is a very
sick man, and his closest friends are
alarmed. Ills condition is more seri-
Gus than is generally believed. How
ever, DR.. Henry Jameson, the family
physician, who has sole charge of the
case, said Friday night there was no
immediate danger at all, and in fact
he was not at all alarmed, he said, as
to the outcome. Asked if the age of
Gen. Harrison would not weigh very
much against his recovery, the doe
tor said such would naturally be the
case to a certain extent; but he de-
clined to discuss the matter further
than to say hat he was not at all
alarmed over the condition of his pa
tient. Gen. Harrison is troubled with
a complication of la grippe and inter-
costal neuralgia, and there is some
fear that this will develop into pneu-
mOnia. The disease in itself is not
necessarily of IN alarming character,
but when the age of Gen. Harrison is
taken into consideration with the di-
intuition of his ~recuperative powers,
his present illness is being viewed with
much anxiety.

SENT FOR SIX YEARS.
Knoxville Business Man Senten-

Knoxville, Mch. 11.-Austie Christ,
formerly aSswell known business man
of this city, has been sentenced TO
six years in the penitentiary, he
having been convicted of the crime
of disposing of forged notes.
Mr. Christ was in business in this
city last fall, his stock in trade con-
sisting chiefly of buggies and wagons.
He did an extensive business with
the farmers, taking in payment
horses, mules and cattle. For the
accommodation of these animals Mr..
Christ kept a large barn which was
usually we'll stocked with horses,
among them being a number of good
drivers. At the time of his flight
this stock was attached, together
with his other property. and the mat
ter va a nine days wonder.

NINE SCALE FIXED.
Agreement Ratified by Operators
and Miners.

Ottumwa, Iowa, Mch 1l-Saturday
evening the joint scale committee
for Dist No 10, United Mine Work
ers of America, adjourned after II
days. convention, having decided on
a complete scale to 60 into effect on
April 1. A meeting of miners and
operators representing the whole
district met at night and ratified the
agreement
The scale is more in favor of the
miners than last year. The hosting
engineers are included in the scale
for the first time.
The trouble in the southern dis
trict regarding responsibility in long
wall mining was settled by a COM
promise, the miners accepting the
double standard scale. The evils
which it was claimed arise from the
existence of company stores were
largely obviated.
A provision was inserted in this
years scale that there should be no
discrimination against a miner for
refusing to trade at company stores
or live in a company house.
The next joint convention will be
held at Des Moines on the second
Monday in March, 1902.

UNIVERSITY FIRE.
Medical Building and South
Building Destroyed.
SpeciaI toIDailv HERALD.

Special tolDaily HERALD.
Iowa City, March 1l.-Fire Sunday
morning destroyed the medical build.
ing aud the south building of the Iowa
State university. Everything was
lost in the medical building, but con-
tents of the south building were saved.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The loss will reach nearly two hun
dred thousand dollars.
At present there is no theory to ex-
plaiu the origin of the fire. The
medical school building was deserted
and there were but a few pupils in
the literary school. Extraordinary
efforts were necessary to save adjoin-
ing buildings.
Work ofthe% university will be much
hampered by the destruction of the
recitation rooms. The college of
medicine will close in three weeks,
and arrangements have already been
made to continue the work of these
classes without interruption, but some
of the literary classes will experience
difficulty in pursuing their work.
This is the second hard blow the
university has sustained recently.
About three years ago the library
building was burned. 1t was stored
with thousands of valuable documents
and books, none of which were saved.
The loss vas irreparable, as many Of
the books cannot be replaced Since
that disastrous fire extraordinary
precautions have been taken to pre-
vent similar destruction at the uni
yersity.
