( Special Tele gram to Ihc Hii : : | The work of the coroner's Jury In the Haddock case will probably not be completed for several days. All the pio- recdliigs are with closed door * . A very laige number of witnesses lime been examined , but llio public doei not evnu know who they nrc. Theic Is something significant In all this sct'iecy. The Hr.u correspondent was Informed to-day that CJoveincr Larabeo win present at the Investigation to-day , hut there Is intich iionbt ns to this. One thing Is cer tain , lr he Is here his visit Is kept very sertut. Thus far no ariests have been made , although one man was taken Into custody nn nil alleged charge , but In reality for the pur pose ot .detaining him. Sherlll McDonald has been busy telegraphing all over the coun try notifying various officials of the murder , and lie has received several suggestive com munications. One of these from t\ town in Iowa , slates that a man was there Thuiday morning answering the description of the niait seen in the saloon just baforo the mur der. Ills actions while theie made several persons mistrust that something was wrong. He inquired of the postmaster as to the news from Sioux City , nnd also whether any ar rests had been made. Ho had no bazgagc. and by nupunmuco would easily bu taken fern n gambler by profession. Another dispatch from Neor.iska is as fol lows : " - , Neb. , AugiHt 0. Deal- Sir : A man came hero yesterday Irom the Mioux City way and hired a team to go to Wakellrld. He did not want a drive , and said that lie would come back last night , and that he wanted to bring a man with him. He did not come , and not returning by noon to-day a telegram was tent to see if thu team was there. It was , but the man had taken a train 1'ioni there , and went west. Ho was a bliort , thick-set , smooth-faced man. Theie was a cut on one side of the face , and I think his weight Is about 1GO pounds. He woie a 'brown fiat , sray coat and vest. llslit ; pants with dark streaks , and It is evident that he wanted to getaway from this junction for home cause. Iwiituthls to you thinking It inav lie connected witli the Haddock mur der. " Itotlt of these inav Do parties connected with tlio all'al'r. As these dispatches have already Indicated , there is evidence that the tragedy was the result of a conspiracy , and this undoubtedly Is the reason why the jury Is examining so many witnesses. All tin ! saloonnien in the city \UI1 appear ns witnesses and will have to testify as to having any previous knowledge id the affair , A loailinz mover lu the injunction matter ways that It has b'len discovered that It was planned oncobefoio to kill the Itev. Had dock by causing a disturbance at the court house during the trial of thc-Iiijiinciion eases and shoot film then. This evidently failed 1'or lack of nerve and hence the plan to assas sinate him. From present indications the ruwaid for the arre.st of the murderer will bo increased to S5W > 0. as the temperance al- llancesaf tlie state have signified a willing ness to raise it to that amount. A committee of .seven citizens has been appointed nt a public meeting tn go to work soliciting funds and everything Is inovlni : along to push mat ters when the cjovo'nor's jury renders Its ver- tUflV. Tlitflaw and order league held a meet- lug to-night and n large number wore present. A i A Nchrnskaii Attempts Suicide.

When Kuiiynn thought he had accom plished his purpose and was sinking from the loss of blood ho readied fn Ids pncket , drew out some letters and handed them ( o the bar ber. The physician found that no arteries had been severed , and while llio gashes were being sewed tin Kiinyan tried to live him- elf , an 1 said no wanted to die.

The rest of his testimony wes unimportant , ns was also that ot oilier witnesses for trio defense , A it-cess was then taken. The only testimony of any particular 1m- uoitaiice was that of S. T.

The former witness swore that tlio circular calllmc the Ilaymarket meetliic , which ho produced in court , was given him on the street on the niu'lit ot May 4 , shortly before theineetliiL' , took place. Tim circular was one of those from which the words "workliiLMiien , arm yourselves and appear in forcu" had loii omitted. Tills was tlio only elreiilarol that kind that has been presented in evidence by the defense , which has been pre em-d since the llaymarket Hot by wit ness , who wan present at the nicotine. The state presented as evidence a lot of circulars taken from the Arbclter Xcituiu ; olllce from which the words mentioned had not been expunKOtl , and the defense has presented iv number of revised ones , but till now no one of them has been traced to the hands of an eye witness of the riot who hail received it fiom a distributor.

Two liiioky Kliotfe'thh't ' Gave Illni Four Sets of I'nns to Show us n Trophy. A thrilling advnnluro is related by : t writer In the New'Tork .Sim , the relation being made by tji'/s / hero , who tells his story as If there was uo special credit in it for him. The lumber firm in which I was employed dcsifou' \ establish a camp near the head wafers of the Wolf river , M isconsin , he suyri , nnd 1 was hi'trncicd to look over the } ground and report. 1 loft Shawano in August In a skill' , taking with mu provisions ; lin'arms.amlacamp- ' IniC outfit , caleulaj nj : , to bo gone about twenty days. 1 wa,4iicompanied { by my dog , u large and savage bloodhound. 1 am writing of twelve or fourteen years aso , and the country about the source of Wolf river was then wild enough to suit any hunter. On the way up I met with plenty of smnll giiine , and on two occa sions saw the tracks of boars , bill no in cident worth recording happened until I had been two days on the site selected for I ho camp. With mv axe 1 cleared away n place for flip buildings , blitxed thn way to a spring , and cut down a number of small pines to be ready for llrowood When winter and the men arrived. The supplies wcro to be run in from Aluiiumi * nee. forty miles away , and as soon as my work was finished at the camp site 1 waste to haul the skill'asliore. . sling my pack , and bhr/.c n road through the wilderness for the teams to follow. I hud a small tent with mo , plenty of good provisions , and the first two or three days and nighls passed without alarm. On the afternoon of the third day , while 1 was prospecting along the river to ascertain its depth , width , etc. , a black bear visited my lent and carried oil' a smoked ham J had brought with me. Ho. also tore open the sugar bag and wasted most of its contents. I followed him for half a mile or so by his tracks , but then lost Ids trail. That same night , as 1 sat smoking at the door of my tent , 1 heard the cry of a panther from a jungle across the river. There was no mistaking the sound. The man who has ever listened to the long-drawn scream of a panther will never confound it with the cry of any other wild beast. This lollow screamed out three or four times , with an interval of about live minutes between the screams , and then he was suddenly answered by his im'te , who was on my side of the stream and apparently not more than twenty rods away. I've had to do with various wild beasts in my time , and I never knew anything to weaken n dog like thu yell of a panther. That dog of mine wouldn't have hesitated a mo ment to attack a bear or wolf , but the yells of those panthers made a coward of nun in no time. lie crawled into the tent , and 1 could neither coax nor drive him out. However , 1 didn't blame him so. very much , for every yell sent the shivers climbing up my spine in a way to make me ashamcjl 01 myself , i heaped on the wood until 1 had a bis fire , and after the beasts had called to each othern few times they coajjjd screaming , and the woods were as silent asia graveyard. In ' about an hour the dop rbgained'his cour age and came out of the tent and began smiling around. 15-j' and by some small animal ran across tlicopeii ground in our front , and the dosf. iiUerca a bark and dashed after it. , t hqard him rushing through the woods Jor two or three min utes , and was about/to whistle him to re turn when there wnfc one loud , fierce yell from one of the parahew , a yelp of terror from the dog , and 1'Kn.ow ' that ho was a goner.

The nine con'es were splashed with' blood , anu tufts of hair could be found here and thnro where the dog was dragged oil' in the direction of the stream. 1 had with me a double-barreled shot gun and a revolver , and I determined to revenge old Tiger's death. I had noticed , a big heai of driftwood n sliort distance up the river , and on the oilier side , and from this heap a fallen tree bridged the stream. When 1 came to inspect this tree I found more blood and tufts of hair , and it was ulain that the dog's body had been curried across to some den in the drift wood. I crossed by the log and mounted the heap. It was composed of limbs , trunks nnd dead logs , which had been flung there on the low ground in high water. It looked like a good place for a panther's den , and as I carefully moved about I hold tlin gun ready for a shot. Aly idea was to descend the heap and look for the opening of the den , but I de scended jn a manner entirely unlooKe.il for. A limb suddenly gave way under * my feet , and I went crashing down through the pile , which at that spot con tained a hollow as big as an ordinary .bedroom. Both barrels of the gun ex ploded as I fell , and the gun was lost front my grasp. 1 landed in a heap on the ground , surrounded by broken branches , and enough daylight came down to enable me to see what sort of a place 1 had fallen into. It would bo no great job to climb otit , and I was about m'aking a move in that direction when 1 heard the faint squeals and squeaks of kittens , and looked down to find a pair of wee little panthers almost under my feet. Scattered around were bones and pieces of flesh to tell the fate of old Tiger. 1 was in n panther'H den , and as I rcali/ed it my heart jumped into my throat until itVeemud as if I could not get my breath , f Was thoroughly rattled and ready to run , nnd for two or three minutes I made frantio eflbrts to clamber out. As fast as I reached a limb it broke under my wpiclit and lot mu down again , but I was still trying when I hoard one of those panthers yell out. It wasn't the cry of the previous night , but a snarl of ragi and I knew 1 was to bo attacked. Now , for what followed 1 have received the credit of being a very bravo man , but J .am ready to confess that ! never felt my- .flclf more ofa * cowiuM. I was nt bay , and "cowards will fightf ) vbrm driven to the wall. I just bent dwuiovor those cubs , drew my revolver , nndJn about n minute I caught sight of ir-vanUior's head us she worked her wny in thixbugh the drift. I took quick aim ailrt'let her liavo U , and .Shu didn't kick half 'rf dozen tunes. 1 knew the other oiui.WiK around there somewhere , and I didn't have over three minutes to wait.

Men do not dig graves in Greenwood cemeti'ry tor fun ; that is how .lames Pearce has been lately earn- iim his living the living of self , wife and three children. At $ t.60 a day men do not hasten to yc.t rich , and no penny has chanced to roll across the Pearce tlnc hold nnd failed to llnd thuro at least a dojen needs awaiting it. "Vet James IVareo's house was filled with hosts of people cougratu'ating ' him lait night. He was suddenly become a millionaire. He hiin.-elf announced It. He ollered rcil-tapi-d documents to prove it. Nobodv doubted It. Kverybody was in ecstasy , excitedly enthusiastic every body but dames Pearoe. That same stolid matter-of-faot , tdollar-and-a-half-a-ilav ; look that has attended his grave digging toil Mill sat on his countenance. Iseigh- bors howled with delitrht over his good fortune ho alone seemed carolet-s ) - , un moved , not daxed. The newsof his great good fortune came in u letter that the postman left at the humble home , No. ( lilt Sixth avenue , in South Brooklyn , just at breakfast time ; but unexpected and astonishing it was , tilled with sueh wonderful promises as it was , James Pearpo did not allow himself to for get the practical duties before him ; he simply tucked the letter behind the little clock on the mantel anu went at his usual early hours on his usual tramp up to Groomyood ; and there all day long under a blistering HUH , with the thermom eter boiling up above 1110 , ho swung u heavy pickaxe and threw spadeful on spadeful of earth high up over tlio nar row edge.s _ ot the graves that huduir. No man in all the land worked harder ; no man was more tired when dually , the day ended and bent under the bur den of hisday's wearing work , he trudged out of this eemeterv ami home. "James Pearce. Irish born , is over lifly years old. Hi > came over tlio waters be- frtro he was out. of Ids Icons : here lie mar ried and here he lias lived and toiled , \\itli not much to encourage him , ever since. He left behind him , when he sailed hither , a brother in Ireland , a lad older , more daring , belter schooled than himself. Politics had claims for the brother , ami for a little while , pushed forward in Ids youthful enthusiasm at an exciting time in Ireland , ho was conspic uous as a patriot in whom the people swore ardent faith. lint pojitical careers have had stranto turnings in the land of Dan O'Conniill , and one day a British magnate took yoiimr Pearce first to court and then out of the empire. He was transported. He was an exile , lloiniirht never return. He was set down in Aus tralia to shift for himself. An eventful career followed. A sheen-raising mag nate was captivated by the fluent longued young Irishman , and. dying , left him his lieir , the controller of millions of money. A year ago ho sent to New York and sought intelligence of the whereabouts and the condition of his younger brother , and a month ago his agent was able to establish Junica' identity. But no hint was dropped here of the rich man's pur pose ; James 1'earcn kept on at his grave digginjr , unespeetant of the romance that was budding , the countless dollars getting on edge that wore ready to roll right into his grasp. He never even guessed of the wonderful change in his brother's estate , if indeed he got a single inkling that that brother was still alive. "Now , suddenly the Australian brother ' dies dick atid 'makes by written will James Pearce Ins sole heir. And the es tate is worth over $7,000,000. " . That strikes me as a pretty good slory and I guess 1 did not indulge in an un warrantable ( lattery when i told my mil lionaire that if he ever needed a dinner he could earn it down here on newspaper row. row.Hut there is a rule in the Times ollicc a rule bristling with thorns sometimes when facts won't rhyme that requires the careful confirmation of all reports be fore they ean go into typo , and so my millionaire was a little doubtful whether Pearce was Frederick or was James as ho wrote it over the bridge and- away out to the depths of South Urooklyn I' went to find the Pearce family and join in the neighborhood's jubilation. I found the house , I found the Pcarccs , 1 found en thusiastic people ; but -sad the discovery ! L found , too , reasons for revising my millionaire's story somewhat. High up on the top floor of a tenement 1 sat down with Jlr. Pearco. who told me he could neither read nor write. "Yis , " said he , "it's true that you say. I'm a ticttin" nigh on to eight millions o' dollars J'vo knowed it for some time now , but " Mr. Pearce's narrative continued , with his vernacular slightly edited , ran in this fashion : He had received.anolicc telling him of his new wealth , but ho didn't know whom tlio notice was from. It told him that iiis brother had died and left him between $7.000.000 anil 8,000,000 out in Australia. That was a big nile ot money , agreed Mr. Pearce , and some time , lie said , when he had tlio chance , he was going to look into the matler : there was only one thing in the story that he tlid not finite understand. His brother , ho was sure , hail never gone to Australia ; his brother had boon trans ported ; his brother and Mr. Pearce showed that he felt a little pn/.x.led in fact , Mr. Pearce con fessed that ho never had n brother. This waa unpleasant news to me ; 1 began to feel as It thn sovou millions were a per sonal loss of my own : only a newspaper man can appreciate that bcnsu of Borrow which comes when n comely nnd uxelu- sive story is knocikcd in this way all to Krnithimiuns : "No brother at all ? " There was sadnits : * enough in that for anew now Jeremiah. JJut ftlr. T'earco was not cast down. Ilu didn't bellcvo that anybody would play him a practical joke , and tlio more fact that ho hadn't a brother did not trouble him. Ho felt just as sure of tlio i.Miormous fortune as tlioit" ! ] he had had a do/on brethren ; but just now lie doesn't /col able to "lose tlmo" and give up Iiis $ l.nOti day wngoa long enough to hunt up clues , Mrs Pearce , the two junior male Poarccs , and the nlou looking young woman , daughter of the Pearce liouseiioni , all were calmly content and confidant. "UVJI go to Yorrunl" quotli Mr * . Pearco. and her husband echoed , "Wo will thawt ! " And the neighbors , everybody oit ) in that Greenwood district , all are firm in their belief that a vcsdul load of gold is bound from Australia for South Brooklyn and likely to come Into port now at any moment. And there in unanimity In tin ; neighborhood that the mere fact that James Pnarco novnr had a brother isn't of the slightest cons.Muiniicn. If Mr. JamcH Pcnrco were a drinking man he'd find a thousand acquaintances glad ot the chancu to roako him happy , FO Hiiro arc those acquaintances of tint ship uujii- ing in. The millionaire journalist isn't so con- ddent since I've givnn him' the report of my investigation. Just to justify himself he Hays : "My olllco boy , who liven over in south Hrooklyn , told mo the utory and I jotted It down , not thinking thcru was any doubt about its certainty , he. as so sure of it. Anyhow , it shows I've got n nose for news , doesn't lit And that's something.

The hostility to cable railroads seems to have partially disappeared in New York , especially sineo the late lon slriUc on the Third Avenue rond. The reciprocal interests of down town ami up town here compel dispatch and sending - ing passengers to and fro , while there is enough hostility to the elevated railroad junta to make ( juiek cable roads rather desirable on the part of those who but yotorday wore making a great ado abiut the arrival of strangers in tlio town. The Third Avenue railroad , tlio most impor tant in tlio United States of street-ear lines , has fully determined on putting down a cubit ; from the postollk'c to Har lem. This will take a year or two , but it is the beginning of a general transformation mation , and meantime elevated railroads are also growing in favor , notwithstand ing the disadvantage there may ho to adjacent property. Corbin , who now has his hands full of Long Island rail roads mid is In poor health , sees the im portance of connecting down town as well as up town with Ills lines. This year has been , up to tins present time , a bad one for him in his formerly .successful propurties at Coney Island. I hayo been there several times during I he. season , and was told by an intelligent waiter last week that thu Oriental h"tcl , which made enough money last year to compensate for the slim returns of the Manhattan Iteach house , was also behind this ycai , consid erably. Indued , the attempt to control everything on Long Island , Coney Island included , seems to take the individuality out of particular resorts , and while there are thousands ot little cottages on Long Island proper , the main hotels in the Cor bin system have bad a very dubious Sea son. Corbin has no station in Brooklyn within a mile of the down-town ferries , and he now wants to run an elevated railroad with four tracks through one of the great streets of the city , so as to make the south ferry his chief depot. His up town ferry at Thirty-foutli street lacks street car communication with the west ern portions of Now York island. Judge Hilton and Mrs. Stewart bava prevented a street car railroad going through Thir ty-fourth street , to the general disadvan tage of trade in the upper middle portion of the city. From an apparently authentic source eamo the announcement this week of the marriairo in London of pretty Miss Kdith Kingdon. of D.aly's company , and Mr. George Gould , the favorite sou of the great railroad millionaire. The couple had been reported as be trothed for some time past , and the news did not occasion the Inrore in society , linaneial and theatrical circles , that otherwise would have been created. Mr. Jay Gould , however , denounces the cablegram as a "canard. " It is well known that Mr. Gould docs , not approve of the match , and possibly thu denial is one of those "pointers" ho lias been known to give when things are not running his way. Perchance the father , thinking the son has committed a "bull" in matrimonial stock , is holding out of the deal to show his displeasure , but when ho shall see the real good value through his son's regard of the new property , he will probably join in and boom things in the usual vig orous way. It , would be indeed a pity for the in dulgent parent to act bearish in the mat rimonial market. The death of Samuel J. Tildcn is Ktlll the all-absorbing topic. Every visitor to Mr. Tilden's homo remembers with pleas ure tlio quint but elegant luxury of its furnishings , and hisontertaiiimenls thoro. Mr. Tilden , though a bate'iolor ' , was a man of thoroughly domestic tastes and habits , and his wealth enabled him to surround himself with everything that wealth could buy. He did not spend his money lavishly. Ho had accumulated his fortune by his own ollort.s , and al though lie had an abundance in latter years , the habits of his early life mid working daye , won ) not changed , and In spending his money ho took care to get its full value In return. So his vast for tune increased rather than diminished to the end. His weallh has been variously estimated by his friends at froni $1.000,00(1 ( to . < rin,000.000 , The foundation of this splendid fortune wa.s laid by hard work , nnd although it was increased rapidly it was increased by the same , methods. It is undoubtedly true that he made many of what is known UH "lucky hits" in Wall street , but lucky spnftihitors are not chance investors as a rule. Tlioy are men who work with their brains us dlligentlv as others work with their hands , and Air. Tilden WHS one of tlii.s kind. Ilu bought or .sold because he saw a reason for doing so , and had satis fied himself by every possible means of investigation that the reason was n good one. His "big strikes" are supposed to have been made in the Norlhwus-om at the time of the consolidation with I/HI / old Galena Union , in Fort Wayne , in Union Pacific , and in the elevated roads in Now York. Although never interested wlfh either Gould or Vandoriiilt , ho conii'/vcil / to keep liimsulf well posted as to ileir schemes , and frequently profited by them , Ilu learned of the lattur'a Kchcmo to consolidate the elevated lines , and is mild to have made nearly $3,0'Jl,000 ) , out of it. He was one of the atlonuys who brought about thu consolidation of the north western lines , and knowing posi- lively what would be done of coined made a very Imndsomo sum.
