KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 10.-Warrants
were served to-day on Silas Ison and Tom
Wright, prisoners in jail at Tazewell'
Tenn, charging them with the murder OF
f. l.. Wentz, whose body was found near
Big Stone Gap last Sunday. The two men
were being held In Jail on the charge OF
being fugitives from justice awaiting or

suspected of being the murderers of Wentz
because a riding suit similar to one worn
by Wentz when he went riding was found
in their quarters in the mountains. This
suit of clothing had blood stains on IT.
probable cause for enmity between Wentz
and the men was that Wentz was strongly
opposed to them running blind tiger In

guilty is that the men were communicating
with persons outside of the Jail and wrote

$5OO,0OO TO Be SPENT BY
UNION RAILWAY COMPANY
IN IMPROVING THE BELT
Twelve Miles of Double Track to
Be Added to Thirty-Nine
Miles of Single Line.
MEETING AT CINCINNATI
AT Which 1t Was Decided to AT
ford Better Facilities for
Shippers.

Improvements that will cost about $500 900
will be made on the Belt Railway. Twelve
miles more of double track will be con-
structed, and there will be other facilities
intended to prevent congestion of traffic on
the road. Indianapolis shippers will be
greatly benefited by the improvements.
A meeting of the executives of the con-
stituent lines forming the indianapolis
Union Railway Company was held in Gin
cinnai yesterday to consider important
Improvements to be made on the Belt road.
Among the officials present at the meeting
were President Ingalls,, of the Big Four;
V. T. Malott, receiver for the Vandalia
Joseph Woods. third vice president Of the
Pennsylvania James McCrea. first vice
president of the same company, and repre-
sentatives of some of the smaller COM
panies. The proposed improvements were
discussed at length, and ii is said, a de-
cision was reached TO improve the road
without delay.
The Belt line has thirty-nine miles of
single trackg which is insufficient to handle
the traffic at ordinary times. 1t is proposed
to build twelve miles of double track in
order to facilitate train movements and
prevent congestion at critical periods
These improvements are estimated at fully
q half million dollars.

CHICAGO, May 1O.-During the recent
trip of the Panama canal commissioners
to the isthmus one of the subjects of dis
cussion was the appointment of the chief
engineer. 1t was agreed by every that
the man selected must possess exceptional
qualifications. must be not only an engineer,
but administrator and executive, must
have mature judgment and yet energy of
accomplishment; must be well known and
favorably known, very great measure
of the success of the commission would de-
pend on the chief engineer.
While the commission was at sea on the
way to the isthmus letter was written to
Mr.. Wallace asking him to meet the mem

the matter over. Subsequently there was
correspondence with Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish.

spoke of Mr.. Wallace: There is no pro-
fessional engineer in my acquaintance who,

Wallace the especial commercial and diplo-
matte tact which, / conceive, will be re-
quired He not only has commercial sense

President Fish was very unwilling to
have Mr.. Wallace leave the service of the
company, but the appointment having been
rendered. left the decision entirely with
Mr.. Wallace himself.
In reaching the conclusion to accept Mr.
Wallace gave up his prospects of promo
ton and a much higher salary than s25 900

engineer of the Panama canal his name

BRISTOL, Va, May 10.-The shrunken
and decayed body of Edward l.. Wentz
was literally taken to pieces this afternoon
by physicians and detectives in the course
of the coroners inquest, which was begun
at 4 o'clock in the dark cavern of Black
mountain and was closed without verdict
by the coming of night. At 7:30 o'clock the
Jury was adjourned until $50 tomorrow
morning, when a session will likely be held
at Big Stone Gap and many witnesses will
be heard
The startling feature of the inquest was
the discovery of 32-caliber pistol ball in
the body, which might have been dis
charged from the empty pistol of the same
calber found eighteen feet from the re-
mains. The ball had passed through the
fifth rib. entering in front. had penetrated
the heart, back rib and lodged in the
muscles of the back one and a half inches
from the spine. Several holes were found
in the clothing where other bullets en-
tered. but beneath them the body was in
tact The right hand was missing and
was probably borne away by wild beasts.

belonged TO the murdered man. was found
near by. There is little doubt that the ball
penetrated the heart, as the physicians
found evidence of hemorrhage in that por-
ton of the body and an immense amount
of blood congested back of the lungs De-
tectives on the scene made careful exam

were either side of the hammer, but
the chamber under the hammer contained

found seven feet from the body. Many ar
ticles in his pockets were found intact.
There is a great difference of opinion as
to the cause of Wentz's death. whether ac-

believe IL suicide.
