HOW HOOVER KILLED DUBOIS Main Facts ns Told to tbo Coroner's Jury , PRISONER NOT DRUNK AT THE TIME JIml i\iirrntn-il ( lieIVUli ttinl DutlnlN .Mlltlit Unlpr Ilic Hlori Vcr- t did of .Mtmlvr IH i Hi'turned. , A. coroner's Jury was empaneled at 10 o'clock yoi'ierday to Investigate the cause of the death of Sam DuUols , who was shot by Claud ? Hoover last Friday evening. Gus Saalfeld , ono of the rroprlctors of the shcc Ehop at 418',4 South Thirteenth street , wliero tlio tragedy occurred , tcstmcd to having been jirtsent nt the time of the shooting. Ho Mattel that ho was waled on n bench , five feet from the from door , on the south side of the shop. Hcover had been In tfie shop for half nn hour before UuUols1 entrance and had started to pay 20 centa which he owed for repairing shoes. This had been at the suggestion of Andrew Jackson , n colored man who sat In the rear part of the shop. As Hoover wao about to hand over the money Dullola entered and said , "Good evening , gentlemen , " whereupon Hoover put the money bask In his pocket , saying , "I'll bed d d If 1 will. " and turning to DuUols cried. "Now I have , got you. " Hoover then drew a revolver from his pocket and flred twice In ipilck succession , Dulloio grappled with Hoover and Saalfeld fled through the back door. When ho returned both men had left tli ? chop. Saalfeld also stated that shortly before Dullots entered the shop Hoover had re marked that he would give 29 cents It Sam uould drop Into the yliop , as ho wished to H3 ! > him. Saalfeld testified that Iloavcj- had i-vhlently been drinking , but that he showed no signs of Intoxication at the time. UOCTOItS AS WITNESSES. Or. Van New , who was present at the post mwtein , testified that two bullets had en- tend thu body of Hullols , slightly to the left nnd about two Inches below the left nipple. They were very close together. One passed through the lower part of the lung , dellectcd downward and lodged In the muscular tissues of the back. The second bullet crossed the pith of the first , but entered somewhat lower l' > and passed through the left portion of the i * liver. The witness testified that cither would ncc.iearlly have been fatal. Andrew Jackson , the colored man , was called. He salJ he had been In company with Hover for about two hours during the after noon. Had taken a glass of beer with him nt Herman Schaefter's saloon and then they went to Mulvlhlll's t'hop , where they iciinlncil fcr some time. Witness left Hoover nt I o'clock and up to that -time they had had nothing to drink , aside from the oao glass of b'cr. Witness was In the shop nt the time of the shooting , but did not hear Hoover make any remark as Dullols entered , as he. was seated In the rear of the room. When tlis shots were fired he ran out through the back door. Ho felt sure that Hoover way not under the Influence of liquor at the timeof tlie shooting. Dr. Summers , the physician who attended DuDola prior to his death , was placed on the stand. He sta cd that he was called to the Presbyterian hospital at 7 o'clock Krlilay evening to take charge of the wounded man. Ho probed for one of the bullets. after removing about two quarts of blood fiom the abdominal cavity , nnd sue- 'j ' cceded In extracting one. Ho stopped the hemorrhage from the wound In the liver , but did not attempt to extract ths other biillat , ns he regarded It a dangerous opera tion. Dr. Summers did not agree with the statement of Dr. Van Ness tha : bath wounds would have- been fatal. He said that the ono that went through the liver caused death , VEIUHCT OP MURDER. A. W. Jefferley , the attorney who took Dullols' antc-mortem statement , said that the murdered man merely outlined the affair as already stated by witnesses. Dullols Raid that he had given Hoover no occasion for assassinating him. Had always treated him kindly , and had had no previous dllll- uully with him. He had taken him by the rhoulder and quietly ejected him from the chop at the time Hoover abused his slster-ln- law , but there had been no trouble and but few words. He hnd discharged Hoover for drunkenness after vainly trying to break him of the habit. S. G. Hoff , the officer who arrested Hoover , stated that he reached the drug store next door to the shoe shop five minutes after i the shoot'ng occurred. Fred Fuller and t Henry I'elton were present at the time , Hoover being in charge , of Fuller. The re volver used by Hoover was handed him by I'rlton. It was n 38-callber American bull- dag of cheap manufacture. Two cartridges had been fired. Ho Identified the weapon Introduced In evidence before the Jury. The only thing that Hoover said when placed under arrest was , "I shot him ; I hnd to do It , but I am terry for It now. " Hoover did not act like a drunken man and was able to talk Intelligently. Sheriff Dre.xel was the last witness called. Ha merely Identified the bullet that was ex tracted from the body of DuUols by the doctors. After remaining out but n few minutes the Jury returned a verdict , "That Samuel Du- IJolR came to bis death on December 14 by two pistol bullets , flred by Claude Hoover , \\lth felonious Intent. " The funeral of DuUols was held yesterday afternoon at the family residence , 31G7 South Thirteenth street. It was under the auspices of the Modern Woodmen , Odd Fel lows and Knights of 1'ythlas , with Interment at Forest Lawn. Although many remedies arc pushed Into the market by spicy advertisements , Ur.

The general manager of the Chicago , Bur lington & Qulncy railroad , W. K. Merrill , Koes to Now York on December 30 to become second vie : president of tlio reorganized Eric railroad. Mr. Merrill resigned hl pcsltlon with the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy Saturday. Hln new appointment with the Erie Is on Im portant one , and the railroad people of both Chicago and this city are exceedingly sur prised , as they had bsen led to believe that Mr. Merrill was n fixture with this line/ He spent tlio last week In New York and upon his return to Chicago tendered hi ! ) resignation. Genral Manager Holdrcgc says that this change takes from Chicago ono of the ntrongert and mort able railroad men. During the early part of his career Mr. Mer rill ran an engine on the Erie. The ofilclnls here pay that they know nothing about who may sttcce < d Mr , Merrill with the Burlington , but It is hinted that It will cither be W. C. Brown , the present general manager of the St. Joseph and Chicago cage , Burlington & Kansas City lines , or G. W. Iloldrege , general manager of the Bur lington lure. At the other headquarters U ] { given out with a good deal of confidence that Mr. Holdrege Is the man.

NEW YORK , Dec. 1C. U can bo stated on the authority of the. presidents of nil the larger anthracite railroads that the matter of restricting the production three days a week has net been definitely acted upon. President J. Rogers Maxwell of the New Jersey Central reiterated the statements made to n representative of tli ? Associated press by other representative officials on this point today. Tlie most conservative companies , In de fault of an agreement being reached , will confine their sales to figures that at least will Insure their getting back a new dollar for an old one. The financial community was disposed to accept without qualification the first announcement of the consideration to restrict the tonnage to a three working days weekly basis , as likely to curtail pro duction to the needs of the market. As a matter of fact , the three days a week plan has rarely been lived up to , even when agreed upon , and the companies , owing to the adop tion of methods famllar In trade , have nt times demonstrated their ability to mlno by unremitting work In the- three days ns much coal as would bs put out In five days under ordinary conditions. What would really bo effective In opening the anthracite trade In good shape for the spring trade will be to arbitrarily restrict the output of the re spective companies fully 60 per cent , or equivalent to about 2fiOO,000 tons , as against 5,000,000 tens , the approximate of production nt the present time. Meantime most of the companies show a disposition to get together and nn effective understanding ns to restric tion might readily be reached. The publication of the Heading reorganiza tion plan today may exert some Intluence on the situation. Only strong measures will enable the anthracite producing nnd carryIng - Ing lines to secure prices anywhere near the present nominal circular. Gocd stove coal Is now selling wholesale at $3.50 per ton free on board nnd other sizes In proportion. This IH 05 ccnts below the circular. Whatever the action by the companies , the stocks on hand , both at the west and tid water , are very large. Hallway \otrs mill I'ci-Hoiinls. L. M.

( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The fight near Mlnas proves to hove been a real battle. In the thickest of It the Cubans stood breast to breast with the enemy , and wUlded their machoUa with deadly effect , while the Span iards defended themselves with their bay onets. The dlspirlty between the forces In numbers was great. Some reports say tluro were 1,500 Insurgents In the attacking party. My advices are that there were at least 800. The- World correspondent In Puerto Principe , sends the full details of the engagement , which took place on the Congresco sugar estate , a few miles from Mlnas , the half-way station on the railway from Puerto Principe to Nucvlttis , In the morning of December 0 , a party of seventy-one Spanish soldiers left Mlnas with carts to secure fodder. There were twenty of the battalion of Gernona , fourteen of the engineer battalllon nnd some Infantry of the battalion of Puerto Rico , together with some drivers and two guides. Captain Borrego of the Gernona battalion , was In command , assisted by three lieutenants. These seventy- one Spaniards passed a small fort garrisoned by a dozen soldiers under a lieutenant , and reached a field of heavy glass. Thereupon the commander threw out pickets toward the thicket , which extended on two sides of the field , and proceeded to cut grass. SURPRISED THE PICKETS. The pickets were suddenly driven In by a charge of SOO Insurgents , cavalry and in fantry , who furiously assailed the llttlo party of foragers. A squadron of Agramontes cav alry , led by Lopez Preclo , attacked on the right , while the left was assailed by n squad- roivof Camaguey cavalry , under Major Cab- alltrb. Soon the fighting was hand to hand , the Insurgents attacking with machetes , the Spaniards defending with bayonets. The carts served as rallying points. The conflict was i'nort , sharp and decisive. The Spaniards made a desperate resistance , but they were armed with old-fashioned Remington rifles , and consequently had not the advantages of the Mauser quick flrers. They fell like leaves before the wind , overweighted by vastly su perior numbers. Captain Borrego and three private soldiers escaped to the rear. Eleven soldiers and the two guides reached Fort Senado. One lieutenant and twenty-two sol diers wcro killed on the field and eight Span- lards were wounded. Two lieutenants and twcnty-ono soldiers were taken prisoners. The Insurgents' loss was heavy. Colonel Oscar Prlmellcs , Lieutenants Preclo and Esplnoso wsro killed and Major Castcllanos wounded. Colonel Prlmelles belongs to a distinguished Cuban family In Camaguey and was a physi cian before the war. He was t'not and was twice prodded by a bayonet wielded by n soldier of the Puerto Rico battalion. SET THE PRISONERS FREE. The prisoners were sent by the insurgents to Mlnas , with a letter from Jose Maria Rodriguez , who commanded the Insurgent force , stating that the Spanish defense wa : heroic and he- took pleasure In returning the survivors. Th& prisoners say they were treated respectfully. General Rodriguez formerly was chief of staff under General Gomez. Ho Is n small man and lame In consequence of a wound rc- cclvEd In a former revolution. Ho organized the Insurgents in Santa Clara province and sent a written statement to the World In October from the Slguanca valley. Ho as sumed command In Puerto Principe province when Gomez went to Santa Clara. Generals Gomez and Maceo , as 1 cabled yesterday , are In t'ne Siguanca valley now. Three battalions of Spanish troops landed today. Rain prevented much enthusiasm. AV1LLIAM SHAW BOWEN. IVI'ICItl.OCKKU A VI 1,101 IS. Hare- Trophy Srcnri-il l ja IlimU-r In North Dakota.

Ills affairs of late * have occasioned an Im mensity of gossip. HI * home Is In Paris. Ho doesn't llko New York ) . "New York's ways or New York's people. Hln once annual visit to this country 1ms laineil Into an occasional epljodo of Inspection' of his great property. In tlio French capital hn ladg a dual IIfo of excessive Industry and 'full-bannered pleas ure , entertaining -with genuine hospitality with ono hand , while the other grips literally and absolutely the reins of journalistic di rection. Ho doesn't care for horses nor for shooting. Ho Is not a gamester nor a drunk ard. He apparently has two passions , the New York Herald for profit and himself for pleasure. His father was a genius , his mother a woman of culture and ambition. He Inherited a headstrong temper , an Im mense fortune and the greatest opportunity ever given an American boy. Ho has learned to control his temper , hip fortune Is phe nomenally Increased , and ho utilizes his op portunity with credit to his profession , with profit to lilmself. Ills tastes nrc simple. Ostentation has no part In his makeup. Money Is nothing to him , for ho was born to It. Ho cares nothing for society ; ho was edu cated to disregard It. Concerning him and his affairs all manner of gossip continuously abounds. A fair summary Is : The Herald Is doing better than ever , Its annual profits ranging between ? t00,000 ! and $1,000,000. Its general manager , Gardiner 0. Howland , a schoolmate and lifelong friend of the com modore , Is a gentleman by birth and breed ing , about 55 years of age , looking 40. He > Is Mr. Dennett's direct personal representative. Next to him In authority Is William C. Hoick , the city editor , a moJest mannered man , who for years has been the executive of the es tablishment , Gossip has supplanted Helclc by our old friend , John A. Cockerlll , now In Japan. Gossip , as usual , Is wrongMr. . Cock erlll will not take chargeof the Herald on his return , but will In all probability be sent to Cuba. Mr. Hoick goes abroad early In January for n threa months' rest with the commodore' ' In Paris. Now as to Brother Pulltzar. Joseph Is a man of tremendous will power , great executive ability and superabundant vitality. He started very low In life , very poor , and wltlyoo opportunity. Having no money , ho longed for It , worked for It , got It , and loves It. Starting In the humblest circles of existence , he aspired to oclal dis tinction. In his vigorous endeavor to attain It he has been aided by statesmen , million aires , nnd financial friends In other lines , but thus far the unattainable has net been reached. Putting aside all buncombe talk , It Is an unquestioned fact that the Morning World has a fair circulation and the Evening World an enormous circulation , the two af fording an annual profit for peveral years past ranging from $700.000 to $1,000,000. With the exception of trouble In one of his eyes , Mr. Pulitzer Is now In excellent physical condition. He likes New York better socially than New York likes him. To a man of such tremendous vitality ono would suppose that ostentation would appear vulgar , yet a chief fault of car successful friend and con temporary Is a desire of display. He Is now In a hotel at Lakewood , his retinue Includ ing a personal attendant , a reader , a private secretary , a physician , a coachman and a footnnn. In other words , Josph Is getting all lie can out of lifeso far as purchasable attention goes , and so far also as n great ex hibit of wealth can count. He has a beauti ful home In Bar Harbor , an elegant residence In New York , and when In Paris does as Parisians do , up to the limit. Tiiurciirr IOACII OTIIHII IJRAD. A Hfiu-llt M.-rUiiK UHivorit Tivo Gol- < 5'MlMirtr Gi-m-rnlH. In addressing an audience In Indianapolis on the evening of October 31 General John B Gordon told anew this Incident of his experi ence In the battle of G-et'ysburg : "As I rode over the gory field I found a major general of the union army lying as If lifeless , with the balling sun shining upon his face. I had seen him fall , and as I rode by I dismounted from my 'horso ' and gave him water. A bullet had struck his tqilnal col umn and had paralyzzd him. I did not sup pose that he. could last hn hour , and ordered a litter to have him carried to the rear. As I stooped down beside him he bade me take from his side pocket some letters , which I found were from his wife. As his eye- strained with suffering , rested for the lasl time , ns he supposed , on the belovtd signa ture , lie said : " 'General , If you live through this war and meet my wife , Mrs. Francis C. Barlow , remember to tell her that you saw me. Tel : her that you saw mo fall , and that I fell fighting nt the front. Tell her I freely gave my life for my country , but that my own un utterable grief Is that I must go without looking Into her sweet face. ' 'Where Is she ? ' I asked. 'Very near me , ' he said. 'She Is with General Meade's forces. ' And as he spoke I was touched with a peculiar sym pathy , for she who bjars with me the sweet relation of wife shared with me the dangers and the privations of the camp , hovering like an angel of protection and of Inspiration to duty. ' I replied that If I lived through the conflict I would notify his wife In accord ance with his request. At the Instant the battle censed I sent a note to the wife , not filing her that he was dead , as I belleveJ , but that he wns dssperately wounded and a prisoner In my hands. I told her that she cculd have safe escort through my lines to sen and attend her husband. And she soon arrived. Early next morning the battU was rerencd , arid then , in that hasty retreat , I thought no more of the gallant Barlow. "The war progress3d and endsd , and , strangely enough , Barlow recover.d. He saw- In the newspaper that a confederate General Gordon , bearing my own name and Initials , and who was a cousin of mine , had b.en killed , and so ho thought I was dead. Fif teen years later I was Invited one evening to take dinner at the houee of a friend In Washington , and was Informed that I'would ' meet G neral Barlow. That fact did not Im press Itself upon my mind , for was not Gen eral Barlow dead ? Had I not left him dying In his blood-stained bed of clover ? General Barlow had a similar reflection about Gen eral Gordon. As we were sitting at the table I asked General Barlow : " 'Are you related to the General Barlow who was killed at Gettysburg ?
