BULLET PlERCES HIS HEART
Aged canandsieua Business Man Kills
Himself Accidentally.

John Reznor, aged 6S years, business
man, philanthropist and highly re-
spected citizen of Canandaigua, N. Y,
met a tragic death, when an old revolv-
er, he was cleaning, was discharged,
and the bullet entered his heart kill
ing him instantly.
Mr.. Reznor, who had recently re-
tired from active business, was in the
Office of the carriage works, which he
had conducted for S6 years, when he
happened to think that an old revoN-
er, which had laid for years in the
safe untouched, might be useful at the
house.
He got it out, sat down at desk
and with oil and cloth went at it. Fif-
teen minutes later workmen in the
building heard the report of a pistol.
Albert Van Dusen, a woodworker, who
was in the same room, saw Mr.. Rez-
nor sink in the chair and groan.
Charles Swazey, proprietor of the
place, was in an adjoining room.
He rushed to Mr.. Reznor, took him
in his arm There was one gasp and
the pulse stopped. Physicians sum-
moncd did not reach the man until
several minutes after he had breathed
his last.

PATIENT TESTIFIES
Declares Attendant George Gabraith
Struck John E. Nugent at
MatteaWan.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Feb. 2S.--John
Seery, patient at the Matteawan
state hospital for the criminal insane,
in statement made here to Assistant
Attorney Edward A. Conger, declared
that he saw George Galbraitn, an at
tendant, strike John E. Nugent, the
patient whose lifeless body was found
on the floor Of his room in the Mattea-
wan asylum on the morning of Friday,
Feb 8.
This story is in contradiction of the
story told by Galbraith last Saturday
night in Wich Galbraith gave testi-
mony on which Daniel Riley, another
attendant, was arrested.
Much importance is attached to
Seery's insistence that the beating of
Nugent took place on Wednesday, Feb
1st, whereas the story of Galbraith Is
that Riley did the beating on Thurs
day, Feb I'd, Nugent's lifeless body
being found Friday morning, Feb. Sd.

boarding house jokes.
In revenge the humorist's sensitive
fellow boarders in Virginia City de-
cided to put up game on him. They
enlisted the landlady's help, and at the
Thanksgiving dinner at the boarding
house Mark Twain by dexterous piece
of sleight of hand was served appar-
emily direct from the fowl with tur-
key leg of painted wood.
The humorist sawed away solemnly
at the wooden leg for some time. Then
he said to the landlady. with smile:

Detectives Have Not Yet Found Trace
of Mrs. Drummond's Gems.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The public and
private detectives who were hustling
for clues that might lead to the crook
who got away with Mrs. Maldewin
Drummond's $130,OO0 worth of pearls
and diamonds, on board the Hamburg
American liner Amerika last Saturday
night, have no clue. Mrs. Drummond
is still at the Hotel Plaza with her
husband.
The Drummon1s were more insistent
than ever today that their servants
must not be suspected. Mrs. Drum
mond told Assistant General Manager
Meyer of the line when she talked to
him that her maid was not in the
state room when she undressed and
put her jewels in the writing desk
rhe maid was not feeling we'll and
went early to her own room, so Mr..
Drummond did the unlocking. Mr.
Drummonds valet, she declared was
not in Mrs. DrGmmond's stateroom at
any time.
The robbery did not lie within the
field of the New York police and so
there was nothing for Flynn's men to
do but look in the pawnshops and send
out circulars describing the iewelry.
