DEAD MAN
 AT WHEEL.
Experience of Ship
 in Hurricane.
Japanese Member of the Crew Died From His Ex- erti0ns But His Hand Still Held to the Wheel.

Honolulu. Sept. "A dead man held the wheel of the schooner Charles Levy WoOdbury during several hours of the night Of August s on her trip here from Laysan Island. He was a Japanese member of the crew and died clutching the wheel. He was round still holding it and the vessel, though greatly damaged by hurri- cane, which is supposed to have caus- ed his death from over-exertion, reached port in safety.
 The Woodbury Is the schooner for which the United States tug Iroquois recently left here to search for. when she was long overdue from Laysan. It was found that she had put back after terrible experience Captain Harris, who was in command, says that his vessel was swept along at the rate of nine knots an hour without a stitch of canvas on her. He gave up hope of saving her and said good bye to Captain Schlemar of I.aysan. who was a passenger. Bulwarks were knocked away to keep the decks clear of water and oil was poured on the ocean. The schooner ran for five days and nights helpless in the gale without the captain being able to take an observation of either sun, moon or stars. The Japanese who died, complained of feeling sick when he took his place as steersman, and he asked a companion to stand by him for a time. No one saw him die. He was found dead and stiff and holding the wheel as when alive. He had fallen forward but his hands held on and the vessel was holding her course fairly well.

BRUTAL MURDER.
Electrocution QuichlyBrings Punishment for the
 Crime.

Auburn, N. r., Sept 12.- Record breaking calerity was the only unus- ual feature of the electrocution of Henry Waverly Manzer to-day in the death chamber of Auburn prtson Wit nesses entered the room at 6:05. Man ger was escorted to the chair one min ute later. In another minute he had been pinioned in the chair and the mask had been drawn over his face. State Executioner Davis immediately made connections with the fatal lever and 1,7S0 volts coursed through the victim for thirty seconds. This was reduced gradually and then the full strength was again turned on. Man zer was undoubtedly dead in three m9nutes after walking to the chair. HeHad not emitted a murmur nor sSoVn any Indication of fear. He paid sIi& attentNp to the reading of the pS&ms by E son Chaplain Herrick. His, appearariE was that of young tough When questioned after the electrocution, t chaplain said one thing that coulR be told in Manzer's favor was that he was being treated far better than' he deserved, and that death was too good for him.
 The crime for which Manzer for. feited his worthless life was the bru. tai murder in May last of Cora Sweet. a child twelve years old. whom he in duced to accompany him into tho woods near Oswego. According to his own confession, he beat out her brains with stones and then assaulted tl.e body. Manzer was suspected from the first and when found with blood stained garments upon him he was ar rested and jailed, where he soon broke down and confessed. He could not tell what impelled him to commit the crime. Insanity was pleaded in his behalf, but the nearest to 1t that coun- sel could establish was moral degen- eracy He was promptly convicted and the case was not appealed.

 watched every ferry and railroad sta
 ton in this city last night trying to
 capture Paul Kelly, the fugitive mo- torman of the wrecked elevated rail- road train in which twelve persons were killed, but had not found him to- day. A general police alarm was sent out calling for the arrest of Kelly on charge of homicide. The fugitive was a strike breaker who entered the company's employ six months ago while a strike was in progress and his home was formerly in St Louis.
 The police of St Louis have been asked to watch for him in the faint hope that he may return to his former home.

 Kelly is reported to have gone from his train to his boarding house up town after the wreck.
 Investigation of the wreck was ta- ken up to-day by the state railroad commission. Commissioner Frank M- Baker. who visited the scene of the disaster yesterday. said: We will be- pin an immediate investigation and de termine what measures are necessary to safeguard the T. roads passengers. as well is fix the responsibility for onaf1nnfb "

poLIcE cHIEF RESIGNS.

Tokio Sept 12.-The resignation o. Tsunayubi Adachi, chief of the metro politan police, is hailed with delight here as showing the eonclliatOry attI. tude of the government.
 The Jiji and other local papers advO- cate the abolition of the metropolitan police and the transfer of its authority to tlie municipality. The use of such an independent institution has, 1t is believed. died out long ago, under the contitutlonal form of government which now exists. This peculiar insti- tuition was originated at a time when rebellion against the early meiji gov ernment was apprehended.
 A sweeping reform of the present po- lice system is now deemed necessary by citizens of the more thoughtful. class.

STILL AT LARGE.
Man Who Murdered Editor Jacob
 H. Thompson.

New York, Sept 12.-Although half a dozen detectives have been contiG- uously engaged on the case, no pro- gress has been made in running ddlrn the murderer of Jacob H. Thompson, veteran exchange editor of this c'fy, who met his death Thursday nigNt. How a man without an enemy could be brutally assaulted and robbed in a quiet hotel, such as the one where Mir Thompson lived and died, without at tracing the slightest attention from occupants of rooms on both sides of the apartment in which the tragedy occurred is something which puzzles the police.
 Something in the nature of sub stantiation for the theory that the murder was merely for the purpose Of robbery and that the deed was done by someone familiar with the condi- tlons inside the house, was obtained last night when it was learned that within the last six weeks two robber- les have occurred in the hotel.
