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.

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. Any way , It
is said that Mr. Holdrege In booked for a
change , and If ho docs not succeed Merrill
he Is to be advanced In some shape or

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.

( Copyright , 1S05 , by
HAVANA , Dec. 15. ( 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.

Let us look for a moiirrnt at Mr. Dennett ,
writes Joe Howard Ini the Chicago Tltnes-
Herald.
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

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 ? '
" 'I am the man , ' he said , and turning tome
mo he akcd :
" 'Are you related to the General Gordon
who killed mo ? '
" 'I nm the man , ' I said. The scene-
which followed beggars description. Truth ,
Indeed , Is stranger than fiction. But It is
not strange Jliat the friendship born In the
midst of battle Is moro sacred because of tlio
circumstances. "
