VERDICT OF coRoNER's JURY.

and Engineer Exonerated.

New York, Jan. 25.-The coroner's
jury in the investigation of the New
York Central tunnel disaster has re-
turned a verdict practically exonerat.
ing Engineer Wisker and censuring
the officials of the road.
After reciting the details of the
accident the verdict continues:
we find that Engineer John NJ.

phere, due to weather conditions. to-
gether with the presence of large
bodies OF steam and smoke escaping
from trains passing the various tracks
In said tunnel, obscuring said signal
was unable to locate said danger sig.
nal
We further find faulty manage
ment on the part of the officials Of the
New York Central and Hudson River
railroad, and we hold said officials
responsible, for the reason that dur.
ing the past 10 years said officials
have been repeatedly warned by their
locomotive engineers and other en-
ployes of the dangerous conditions
existing in said tunnel. imperllling
the lives of thousands of passengers.
and they have failed to remedy said
conditions; and also for the reason
that certain improvements in the way
of both visible and audible signals
could have been installed, and the
disaster thereby have been avoided:
and for the further reason that no reg
ulation of speed at which trains
should run in said tunnel has been
enforced. thereby allowing engineers
to exercise their own discretion"

Does Not Object to Pension.

indianapolis, Jan. 2i.-Friends Of
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, widow OF ex-
President Harrison, have had their
attention called to statements pub
lished in several papers to the effect
that she had asked those in charge Of
the movement to secure for her a pen
sion, not to present the bill to con-
gress. Mrs. Harrison has at no time
made any objection to the presenta-
tion of such a bill and still believes
the matter can with proprlety be pre-
sented to congress inasmuch as the
surviving widows of other ex-presl-
dents have been recipients of the same
official recognition by congress. Wild
dows of Presidents Tyler, Polk. Gar
field and Grant were given pensions;
Mrs. William Henry Harrison was
voted S25000 by congress, which was
at that time the amount of the presi-
dents salary. and Mrs. Mckinley will
receive a pension, the bill having
been recently reported favorably.
