NEW YORK , Feb. 10. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Sylvester Scovcl , a young resident
of Ohio anil a student at tlie University
of Michigan , who Is now a colonel attached
to General Gomez's stall In Cuba , where
ho went In tench of adventure , has sent
a lengthy Interview which ho claims to
have had with General Gomez to the New
York World. General Gomez Is reported to
have said In answer to the question : "How
will the substitution of General Weyler for
General Campos affect the Cuban chances ? "
"The change will benefit the Cuban cause.
Wo have lost a most powerful enemy In
MarlineCampos. . Ills strong character and
personal influence have held to Spain many
of the most Influential and richest Cubans )
that otherwise would have followed their
natural Inclinations to assist In freeing their
countr.y. He Is without doubt the first gen
eral In Spain. The troops of the line Idol
ized him , and with his departure they are
left without n leader In whom they have
confidence. I regard these good soldiers as
being In the bamc state In which the grand
army of Franco found , or rather lost , It-
Eclf upon the departure of Napoleon I. I
regard General Weyler as an honorable , but
cruel soldier. In his military ability , however -
over , I do not think ho can for a moment
bo compared with General Campos. In the
last war the movements ot his commands
were not brilliant , and ho was noted only for
his unrelenting cruelty toward defenseless
noncombatants , which he now claims was
In obedience to superior authority.
"General Weyler comes hero In answer
to the demands of Spaniards In Cuba , or
ganized and known as the conservative party ,
They are the government ofllclals nnd mer
chants who have grown fat by authorized
'speculation nnd high prices maintained by
unjust Import laws. Ho has not the high
character of General Campos , who preferred
to bo dismissed rather than carry out a
policy he abhorred.
SOME PROBABLE EFFECTS.
The policy was outlined and demanded
of the government by the conservatives ,
and now comes Weyler , presumably to obey
orders , as he did In the list war. lie suys
ho does not contemplate the establishment
of a reign of terror In the cities of Cuba.
If ho means this and acts accordingly ho
will ciulckly bo supcrcedcd by another by
1'olavloja , for Instance , for the conservative
party In power will not hesitate to bring
to Cuba a man ot a reputation so unsavory
that even the Spanish public cannot stomach
ach It. Atrocities In the towns will not
likely begin until It Is discovered that the
change of generals has produced no more
and perhaps fewer victories In the field.
Tf ) m nrfnr nf Iho free narclon Is still
held out to nil Insurgents who present
themselves and their arms , many ot the
men lately recruited will avail themselves
of H , under the belief that the Spanish ac
tivity In the towns means a moro skillfull !
and vigorously conducted campaign In the
field. But , I think that when these mf > n
discover' that events In the fiel.1 show fewer
victories for the Spanish' arms , they will
rejoin the Cuban foices , this tlmo for gond ,
as to rpturn again would bo to bo shot.
Many Cubans suppose that If the Spanlsl
policy In the cities Is severe the numbs *
of deserters will decrease. I know in the
other war of two brothers surrendering them-
solva to the authorities of a town In which
they know their own father was put to
death the night before. But I bellovo the
number of deserters consequent upon Span
ish activity In the cities will bo moro
than offset by Iho number of men of these
cities who will take the field as a c-iiolco
between two evils. Honevcrt both this class
and the deserters are of llttlo use to the
Cuban cause , and our fighting stroiiKth In
the future will depend principally upon ro-
criilU ) from the country.
"Tho Spanish regular soldier Is bravo tea
a fault and Implicitly obedient. Ho Is pa
tient , dot-i not cat much and carries weigh
like a mule In sort , I consider the Spaniel
regular troops , armed with the Mauser rlflu
the bent In the world today.
CUT OFF SPANISH REVENUE.
"The government of the republic of Cuba
has been loath to order me to destroy the
cane ot American estates. In fact , It dU
not like to have to destroy any property , bu
It wai * deemed necessary to strike a blow at
the finances of Spain. This has been suc
cessful and our enemy will not receive the
$18.000,000 with which to carry on her war
with us that she would have received as
Import duties upon articles brought Into Cuba
In exchange for the sugar crop had wo al
lowed the same to bo made , Only cnougl
cano has been burned to stop the operat'on
ot the mills. All the plantations huvo beet
treated alike American , German , Spanish
oven those owned by patriotic Cubans have
been prevented from making sugar this' year
The buildings and machinery have In no
case been touched. The migar Industry has
been only temporarily stopped , because It
yields the most revenue tq Spain , "

HAVANA , Feb. 10. It Is obvious that
General Weylcr'a presence has produced a
magnificent effect , due not only to his pres
ence , but to his talks and proclamations , and
t Is the general opinion that the spirit ot
ho Spanish sympathizers has been greatly
raised , Until long after 'midnight the
crowds of people remained In the Plaza do
Amies , shouting acclamations for Weyler , In
whom their hopes are centered of seeing the
rebellion soon put an end to.
Carlos Denis , the civil governor of Havana ,
accompanied by his secretary , the marquis
lo Palmerolo , has arrived here , accompanied
) y the squadrons of Cnstlllejos , I.csma , Vic
toria. Alvantara nnd Borboii.
The band of Castllla has attacked Santa
Maria Rosarlo , In Havana province , nnd
jurncd twenty-nine houses before they were
repelled by the garrison.
The following Is the proclamation Issued
Iiy Captain General Weyler upon assuming
his post :
To the People of the Island ot Cuba :

to sny tlmt I shall be generous to the pub-
dued and to nil these doing nny service to
the Spanish cause. But 1 will not lack In
the decision and energy ot my character to
punUh with nil the rigor that the law
exacts these who In nny way chnll help the
enemy or shall calumniate the prestige of
our name. Putting aside nt present nny
Idea of politics , my mission Is the honorable

WELCOMED THE NEW CHIEF.
The steamer Alfonso XIII arrived hero
at 8 o'clock this morning , having on board
General Valerelno Weyler , the new cap
tain general of Cuba , Generals Enrique ,
Marinues Ahumade , Luis Castillo , Sanchez
Bcrnal and Juan Arolas , the latter being the
hero of Jolo , Phllllpino islands. The en
tire , city was brilliantly decorated til honor
of the occasion and the bay \Vas a splendid
eight , all the war ships and merchant craft
present being decorated with bunting.
Among the high military officers present
wcro Generals Sunrez Valdez and Pando ,
Generals Marln and Navarro , Admiral Yanas
and staff , Colonel Castanedo , Major Mo-
rlano and many others.
General Weyler was welcomed to the city
by the city council on board the Alfonso.
He was presented with a welcome address
and assurance of loyalty.
At 11 o'clock the captain general came
ashore nnd was received by General Marin
and staff. The streets were packed with
people , who displayed the greatest enthusi
asm. In fact rarely has a distinguished
person been received so warmly as was
General Woyler today. There Is no doubt
that considerable real enthusiasm was mani
fested , In addition to the greetings which
would naturally bo bestowed upon the rep
resentative of Spain.
The balconies In all the streets about
the water front and In the vicinity of the
palace were full of women in holiday attire ,
and they showered flowers upon the new
commander as he passed. Besides , numer
ous floral offerings of the most beautiful
description , principally In the shape of
crowns , were presented to the general , who
expressed his appreciation In each case In
a few brief words. Ho seemed much pleased
with his reception and upon arriving at the
palace formally took over the duties of the
captain generalship , taking the oath of fe
alty over a crucifix and upon a bible. Gen
eral Marln administered the oath of office
and aoon afterward he received the local
mtlltla and civil authorities , the different
corporations and bishops and priests.
The German war ships , which are hero , as-
luted the arrival of General Weyler , as did all
the Spanish war ships In port and the forts
ashore. It Is asserted that the German ships
will now go to Venezuela In order to enforce
the demands which certain German railroad
contractors have made upon the Venezuelan
government for the payment of certain guar
antees for their u-ork.
After the reception of the local military
and civil authorities , corporations and clergy
was completed. General Weyler appeared on
the balcony of the palace and reviewed the
troops. His appearance before the public
was the signal for a long outburst of the
most enthusiastic cheering , the firing of
cannon and the sound of martial music , nil
the bands in the city being stationed at dif
ferent points.
General Weyler will first devote him
self to a complete rcvlow of the operations
iiireaummeriuuen anu no will men nguro
out the situation as It actually exists. For
this purpose , almost Immediately alter taking
the oath of fealty , ho Issued 'orders to be
sent to all the commanders In thu field to
draw up promptly and forward to hvudquar-
tera hero complete returns of the condition
of their .commands , together with the state
of railways , telegraphs and public thorough
fares and probable location and strength of
the enemy In their neighborhood.
Some of these reports , those from the
forts arauud Havana , will come In this evenIng -
Ing , but othciH from the outlying districts
will take some tlmo to reach here. General
Weyler has already detailed a staff of young
ofilcoru and noncommissioned officers who
will net au headquarters clerks for thn time
being and atultt In compiling the retiynn ,
General Marln , who has boeu appointed
captain general of Porto P.lco , is expected
to leave for his new poit tomorrow. Ho has
not done much since ho aKsumcJ command
hero after the recall of .Marchil Martinez
do Campos , but he hag ccitalnly d'tplayeil
activity and has bcci : on the more almost
continually.

LONDON , Feb. 10. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The part of
the queen's speech tomorrow relating to the
Venezuelan question will bo just as noncom
mittal , If my Information Is correct , and
just as full of amiable platitudes as have
been the speeches of Lord Salisbury , Mr.
Balfour and Sir. Chamberlain , and the ar
ticles on the subject In the columns of the
ueml-lnsplred Times. If the government In
tends to accept or consent to arbitration or
to recede In any material way from the po
sition taken In Lord Salisbury's letter to
Sir Julian Pauncefote , no Indication of such
a practically pacific Intention has yet been
publicly given. At this distance ono can
only conjecture what the effect the main
tenance of this government's position of last
autumn would have In the- United States. I
reiterate the above statement , however , as
perhaps of consequence , because It Is really
the only question of fact In the recent his
tory of the controversy on this sldo. Hut it
may bo added that the liberal organs have
just now published the statement first pub
lished anywhere In this correspondence that
the party will make a demand for arbitra
tion as a part of this parliamentary program.
As to the queen's speech the predictions
which Eccm to have been cabled to New
York that the paragraph dealing with the
Venezuelan dispute contains any direct
reference to , still less mention of , arbitra
tion , are Incorrect. The speech gives a brief
historical account of causes of differences
between Great Britain and the- United States
over Venezuela nnd expresses merely n con
ventional hope that the difficulty will be
peacefully settled. The subject Is treated
In a calm. Judicial manner , paving the way
for a ministerial statement , which , I am In
formed , will be made In both houses during
the subsequent debate of the present position
of the dispute , giving In outline the meas
ures taken by this government to bring about
an amicable arrangement with Venezuela.
LIBBIIALS INSIST ON ARBITRATION.
The ministerial statement probably will bo
made by Mr. Balfour In the House of Com
mons early in the evcnlne in reply to thn
customary general criticism of the contents
ot the queen's speech , which criticism will
be made by Sir William Harcourt , the leader
of the opposition. In It. his friends assert ,
Sir William will make a strong plea In favor
of arbitration.
The Queen's speech also contains a para
graph dealing with the South Africa Im
broglio , couched In sanguine terms , as to an
ultimate satisfactory Issue. Parliament will
be concratulated on the bloodless conclusion
of the Ashantee campaign , and sorrow will
be expressed for the untimely death of Prince
Incrcasa In naval expenditure occupies a
prominent place in the royal message , but
the Armenian question Is dismissed in what
Is described to me as a colorless manner.
A3 to domestic legislation , the llbt of mea
sures of first class Importance promised Is
very small , among them a bill for the revision -
vision of the Irish land laws , and a scheme
for the spttlement of the claim to state aid
for denominational schools.
The speech altogether probably Is the
loncest In recent parliamentary history. Owing
ingto the space devoted to the Venezuelan
and South African questions , the debate upon
It will occupy a fortnight at the least.
SEXTON .MISTRUSTS HEALY.
Telegraphic Information from Dublin to
night , from a well Informed quarter In the
Irish party , says It Is extremely doubtful
whether Mr. Sexton , after all , will accept
the leadership of the- Irish party. Up to
the- present ho has maintained an attitude
of decided refusal not being satisfied that
Mr. Healy means to accept his leadership
loyally , holding that , In the contrary event ,
he would bo able to do nothing useful for
the Irish cause , either In Parliament or
Iieland. It Is recognized on all sides that ,
falling Mr. Sexton , the majority will offer
the leadership to Mr. Dillon , a proposal
which will be bitterly opposed by the Healy-
itesj so that , In case Mr. Sexton declines ,
the old dissensions will be started afresh
In a more virulent form at the very open
ing of the new session. Mr. Dillon would
fight Mr. Healy resolutely , and would even
tually , according to the best Irish opinion ,
completely defeat him. But Mr. Dillon
himself would far prefer peace , with Mr.
Sexton as leader , and ho Is exerting all his
Influence to Induce Mr. Sexton to accept
the post.
Two Important changes In the editorships
of leading London newspapers took effect
today.

SOME NEW LONDON EDITORS.
Sir Douglas Straight has succcded Henry
Gust on Mr. Aster's Pall Mall Gazette , and
for the first time since the relations between
this country and the United States became
strained , prominence is given to anything
favorable to the American contention In an
extract from the. Times correspondent at
Washington favoring arbitration on the
Venezuelan question. This Iu the only visible
sign of a change In the editorship , but It Is
significant enough , In view of the consistent
anti-American virulence which heretofore has
distinguished this paper above all others in
London.
Mr. E. T. Cook , formerly the editor of Sir
George NewnEs' Westminster Gazette , has
Issued the first number of the liberal Dally
News today as Its editor. Mr. Cook IB

PrcvIoiiN Unfortunate Experiences lit
tlmt I. lii ci
LONDON , Feb. 10. A dispatch from Wash
ington to the Times pays ? " Tli6 United States
government has strongly aha repeatedly ad
vised the Venezuelan government to settle
England's demand for an Indemnity for the
Uruan affair. Further , although America
Insists upon the arbitration of the boundary
question , she has no Interest whatever In
the result of the arbitration and would bo
quite satisfied If all England's claims were
confirmed.
The Times has an editorial which alms to
Justify England's refusal to nraent to the
arbitration of the whole of the disputed terri
tory between Venezuela , and Guiana on the
ground of her previous unfortunate experi
ences In arbitration nnd of the fact that
America In the Geneva arb'lrotlon set a
precedent by placing a limitation en the
matters to bo arbitrated. The Times ex
presses the hope that the radical leaders In
Parliament will not compromise the coun
try's Interests by attacking the government
for Its refusal to enter Into unlimited arbi
tration.
Clement U. Markham , P. R. S. , president
of the Royal Geographical society , has an
other column letter In the Times this morn
ing on the historical aspects of Iho Ven
ezuelan dispute. George OemawlB , an attor
ney of Philadelphia , and an anonymous corre
spondent at Montgomery , Ala. , also have
column letters In the same paper on the
American frcllng toward the Venezuelan dis
pute nnd the Monroe dcctrlnc.
The Chronlclo says Sir' ' Frederick Pollock
Corpus , profeaor of Jurisprudence In the
University of Oxfor.1 , wh ? was entrusted by
the government with the 'preparation of the
British boundary dispute case , has com
pleted the Venezuela blue book , and that It
will probably be presented to Parliament
within ten days. It Is understood , says the
Chronlclo , that the government will make
an Important statement tonight.
The Chronlclo reprints at great length
this morning , for the benefit of Parliament ,
the replies received from leading prelates ,
writers and politicians In favor of Its sug
gestion for a national petition to Parliament
for the establishment of a permanent tri
bunal of arbitration.
The Times says It Is Improbable that Sir
William Vernon Harcourt , liberal leader In
Parliament , will move any amendment to
the address.
The Dally News , the liberal organ , on the
other hand says : "Unless some statement
Is made the liberals will press the govern
ment. probably tonight , for Information on
the Venezuelan affair , as a strong desire
exists to meet the wishes of America.
There are hints , however , that although the
radicals favor unlimited arbitration , the liberal -
oral leaders arc bound by their own record
and are unlikely to press this view. "
OF ANOTHER 1UUTISII SC.VXDAI , .
n
llreneh of I'rnmiNe Suit.
LONDON , Feb. 10. The" suit of Birdie
Sutherland , a well known- member of the
'
ballet , against Hon. Dudley Churchill
Majorlbanks , eldest eon of Baron Tweed-
mouth and a lieutenant 'in ' the Fourth battal
ion. of Argley and Southerland Highlanders ,
claiming $100,000 damages for breach of
promise of marriage , which was to have
been tried today before Judge Russell and a _
sneclal Jury , has been settled out of court.
MUs Sutherland , who had previously refused
$15,000 to settle the 'case. ' has \ylthdrawn
her suit upon payment of $25,000 ,
The case was exppctedto furnish much
Interesting testimony. . j
Sir Edward Clarke. Qi .C. . M : P. , formerly
solicitor general , had bacti- engaged to repre
sent Miss Sutherland an&Mr. Henry Asqultb ,
formerly secretary ol statofor homo affairs ,
had been retained to defend Mr. Mnjorlbanhs. ,
It WJs believed that the casfi would turn
upo.i the point whether the ; defendant was
of full ago when 'the promiseof marriage
was alleged to have beqn made. Miss
Sutherland , nee Watklns , $ iot being of age ,
sued through her father , who was formerly
a clerk In the Bank of England.
The settlement of the suit out of court
disappointed many people. A large crowd
had gathered In and about the court room
where another case was proceeding , In antic
ipation of hearing what wa's looked upon as
likely to be a celebrated theatrical case.
But to their disgust the case being tried
was suddenly Interrupted as Miss Sutherland
and her lawyer held a long conversation in
a low tone with Judge Russell after which
the latter announced that Sutherland vs
Majorlbankf had been settled out of court.
Judge Russell allowed costs.
i\plosloii of an IiuniciiHi Aerolite.
MADRID , Feb. 10. An Immense aerolite
exploded above this city at 9:30 : a. m. today.
There was a vivid glare of light and a loud
report , followed by a general panic. All the
buildings were shaken and many windows
were shattered. According to officials of the
Madrid observatory the explosion occurred
twenty miles above the earth.
The force of the explosion was felt for
several kilometers around this city and the
concussion was so severe that thc > partition
wall of the United States legation collapsed
and nearly all teh windows of the building
were broken.
The sun was shining clearly at the time
of the explosion , and the only thing visible
In the sky was a white cloud bordering
with red , which was traveling rapidly across '
the heavens , leaving behind It a train of
fine white dust. When * the explosion oc
curred the populace believed It was nn
earthquake or a sign of divine wrath. Many
Injuries resulted from the panic which
broke out and from the frantic attempts
to escape from the churches and schools ,

CINCINNATI , Feb.10. . Though the pcaco
officers of the- two states continue a most
vigilant search for further Incriminating
evidence against the two students who are
accused of the brutal murder of Pearl
Bryan , the labor of today brought them
llttlo reward. The most that can be said
Is that they found a few more threads leadIng -
Ing Into the tangled skein. As to the man-
'nor of the murder nothing more Is known
tonight than was known last night. Al
though Jackson and Walling have retained
nioro lawyers they cannot bo restrained on
legal advice from talking. When the bloody
coat found In a sewer was taken to the
jail today It precipitated another controversy
between the prisoners. The coat fit Jack
son and was ntiich too small for Walling ,
but Jackson claimed they roomed together
and Walling wore his roommate's clothes
on the night of the murder. Jackson Identi
fied the coat as his , but said Walling were
It when he murdered Pearl. Walling ad
mits the blood stained razor belongs to
him , but says Jackson took It for his bloody
work. Among the effects found near the
body Is a bloody shirt sleeve. If Walling
were Jackson's coat , his shirt sleeve wjiuld
have protruded so as to have been easily
torn off In the murderous struggle with
the unfortunate girl.
Three rings were found In a sewer near
where Jackson's coat was recovered , but an
unknown man got away with them , nnd the
search for the rings Is as vigorous as for
the head. The Bryan family at Greencastle ,
Ind. , report that Pearl were three rings
when she loft homo In January. None were
found on the body. Culverts and sewers are
being examined , and work on the Dayton
sandbar for the head continues.
An examination of the records at the
Dental college shows that Jackson and WallIng -
Ing were present , as usual , on January 30 ,
but neither of them was In attendance on
Friday , January 31 , and the evidence against
both the suspects gets stronger every day.
As they see circumstantial evidence- ac
cumulating , their feeling against each other
grows the more Intense.
Authorities waited until midnight for Miss
llolllngsworth and others from Indianapolis ,
but they will not arrive until tomorrow.

from Miss llolllngsworth. She says : "I

sponslblo for Miss Bryan's condition , but
ho was .not . responsible for her death. I
don't think , either , that Wood has anything
to do with this case. I became Interested
in the girl because I had once known her
and chanced " " to meeUier. at jUie unlon station. .
She told""me what had happened .and said
'Jackson was to blame. When I" ' told her
what drug to got , "shej paid-she would itftko
them In Jackson's presence and dlo there *
and then , so as to throw suspicion upon
Jackson and get him into difficulty. "
'How did you know what drugs to get ? "
'A youns doctor told me. "
'What was his name ? "
'I decline to tell. " ' < '
'Did you ask him because of this case ? "
'No. I learned from him at a different

The police are trying toget the names of
the druggists from whom Miss Holllngs-
wortli'.sald sho. In company with Pearl
Bryan , secured the drugs.
According to the Holllngsworth woman ,
who told a long story this afternoon at the
police station , Pearl Bryan returned to this
city from Cincinnati in company with Wal
ling on ihe Thursday night of which Wal
ling has no definite recollection ; that Walling
and Pearl Bryan stayed at a South Illinois
street hotel that night nnd returned to Cin

NEW YORK , Feb. 10. An Incident at
tending the activity In the subtrcasury pre
cincts today , on account of the rush of bid
ders for the now government bonds wishing
to make deposits of gold , was a fcomcwhat
*
brisk verbil encounter between Assistant
Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan and Mr. Zim
merman of tno bullion brokerage firm of
'Zimmerman & Forshay. The subtreasury
was the scene of o busy throng of brokers ,
banker's clerks , messengers and newspaper
men when Mr. Zimmerman , turning to a
customer of his uho was In the line of de
positors for bonds , pointed to a number of
bags of gold which wcro lying on the floor
of the subtrcasury and remarked :
"There Is your gold , delivered according
to contract. "
Mr. Zimmerman had three times previously
today obtained gold at the subtrcasury on
presentation of greenbacks nnd delivered the
same to his customers. On the fourth oc
casion , however , Mr. Jordan Intervened and
refused to accept the gold , which was carried
away at the expento of the broker , Mr. Zim
merman demanded the reason of the refusal
to accept mo goiu anu Air , joruan mane
the point that whllo any principal or repre
sentative of a principal , could not be pre
vented from drawing gold on presentation
of greenbacks , the government buildings
could not be utilized for the delivery of gold
by brokers to their customers. It should bo
remarked that no exception would have been
taken had the gold been taken away and
brought bafk afterward by the purchaser.
The affair created no llttlo excitement at the
time. _

The Dalcodo claim , one of the Tea Mining

only to this : For eomo months a private
subscription his 'been solicited among the
Indians to wnd delegates to Washington to
confer with the authorities , the government
having previously declined to boar the ex
pense. In reference to certain matters per
taining to the Pine Ridge agency , they ar :
First , the extension , which refers to ft strip
GxlO mlleo In Nebraska on the soulht-rn
boundary. The Indians want It to extend
the whole length of the southern boundary ,
which Is about 100 miles. Scccnd , they Old
not know about the gold In the lllack Hills
and they want more money for the hills.
Third , they want a lawyer to represent thorn
In all legal causes. Fourth , some want per
capita cash payments Instead ot the annual
losuo of goods. Fifth , the deslro to discuss
the provisions ) ot former treaties , which they
claim have not been entirely fulfilled. Sixth ,
they desire an Interpreter of their own se
lection to accompany the delegation tonsh -
Ington. Seventh , In the Interest ot their
education , the school children have been for
bidden cngagltiR In certain dances , the effect
of which Is Inimical to good morals , and there
Is eomo dlspsnt to this Imaginary encroach

The trip of the delegation to Washington
has not boon requested by any one In au

as frivolous.
The powwow Is being held on Wounded

and may last thrcu or four days. The names
of the delegates are not yet obtainable. There
Is not a shadow of any hostility In any part

NEW YORK , Feb. 10. What appears to
have been a cold blooded murder was com
mitted today In the Institution for the Im
proved Instruction of Deaf Mutes. The vic
tim was Prof. M. E. Glau , GS years old ,
an Instructor In drawing. The boJy was
found In the studio of the professor , on
the fourth floor of ths Institution. There
were a number of horrible gashes on the
back of the head , nnd near the body was
f jund n bloody Iron shovel with which the mur
derer evidently struck down his victim.
No apparent motive for the crime- was dls-
co\eroJ. When the professor's clothing was
searched his gold watch and chain wcro
found .Intact , CO cents In change , a bunch of
keys , a plpo and a match box were also
found In his pockets. It was said by Su
perintendent Green of the Institution that
ho did not know the professor had an enemy
In the building , and , for that matter , In
the world. He said ho was a man who
kept well to himself , nnd after his business
had been transacted at the Institution he
left , nnd had but few words with anybody.
Ho said the professor had been with the
Institution a number of years , and that his
methods and work were everything that
was satisfactory.
If the- murder was not committed by a
person who had free access to the Institu
tion , the attaches are puzzled to know
how any person could get Into the place
without being seen. There are but two
entrances- the place , and these arp . In.
1he"fronr ot the building.'Theupstairs
dcors ore'always locked , and at the'base
ment door , which is the usual way the
bnlldlng Is entered , there Is always an at
tendant , and it would have been Impassible
for n person to have gained an entrance
In that T.-ay without discovery. No ono In
the building was found who had seen any
strange person enter during the afternoon.
All the windows wore examined and no
clew was found. The entire absence of
motive is puzzling the -police , and so far
as known they have not a single clew on
which to begin work.

DANNEMORE , N. Y. , Feb. 10. Skepticism
pervaded the group of twenty or more news
paper men and physicians who arc gathered
hero tonight ; it pervades the prison also and
the officers , whllo they have made every
preparation usually made for the death of a
condemned criminal , feel the effects of the
skeptical atmosphere. Even Bartholomew
Shea , condemned to die before the noon hour
tomorrow , Is n trifle buoyed up by the same
feeling that something may Intervene to save
his life. It Is not skepticism born of hope ,
but rather of precedent , for Shea lias said
his goodbyes to his friends , apparently ac
cepting the word of all these surrounding
him that this Is the end. The prison officers
have completed every arrangement , the wit
nesses nro on the ground , the warden has told
Sliea that there is no possible hope for him ,
the hour of the execution has been set , and
yet before everybody here Icoms up the &lg-
nlflcant fact that Shea four different times
lias been equally as far beneath the shadow
of death and the yawning arms of the elec
tric chair , and have seen the victim snatched
from them , Just so many times. Will this
fifth preparation for death bo final Is the
question that agitates all here. Compared
with the preparation for other executions
tills Is llttlo or no different.
Durlns a lapse of two years since the com
mission of Shea's crime the fight of his nt- ,
torncys to save their client has been unceas
ing and HO clever as to challenge admiration ,
while the prosecution has ben equally bril
liant , The sensational episodes that have
marked the case since the commission of the
crime and down to the day of the- execu
tion will not bo lacking tomorrow. It Is a
singular fact that Shea will be executed by
his friends. Warden Thayer , who read the
death warrant to him tonight , has known
him from boyhooj , living in the EH me city
with him. Deputy Warden McKcmia , who
will lead the procession or death as a guaru
to the prisoner , Is also from Troy and know
the convicted man well.

As n result of a flro which broke out at
3:30 : this morning the stock ot the Ne
braska Dry Goods company , at 1205 Douglas
strcol , Is practically ruined by flro and water ,
and the rear portion ot the second , third and ,
fourth stories of the building Is In ruins.
Officers Jorgcnsen and Relglcman turned In
an alarm , which was soon followed by a occ-
end , third nnd gcnornt alarm. When first
roeii there was only n email blaze on the
second floor. Suddenly there appeared to bean
an explosion of smc kind , the windows were
blown out and the flames spread rapidly. The
first firemen on the ground realized that
more help was needed and the other alarms
were sent In.
Streams were turned on from every point
ot vantage the roof of a two-story building
adjoining on the east , a two-story building
across the alley , and from ladders In front.
In splto of the Immense amount of water
thrown the firemen did not appear to make' '
any headway for some time. They succeeded
In keeping the fire from spreading.
HELD THE FIRE BACK.
Though absolutely nothing ot either stocker
or combustible material in the building on
the top three stories as far forward as the
center of the building is left. It Is evident
at this writing (3:30 ( : a. m. ) that unless Bomc-
tliliiB unforsccn happens the damage In
other parts of the building will bo confined
to that done by water.
So many streams hnvo been playing on
the building that It Is Impossible there can
bo a particle of the stock that Is not water-
soaked.
The guests In the- Arcade hotel , In the
pamo block , were all nwake.ncd , ! > nt thcro
was no panic and no danger , for at no tlms
was there any prospect of the fire bpreadlns
beyond the building In which It originated.
It .was keptdown.BO. _ . . thoroughly that , not
even the bulldlrfg Immediately across lha
alley was ever In danger , , , , _ , „ *
Inside the structure Itself , however , the
best that could bo done was to > prevent the
flames spreading to other parts of the
building , for In eplte ot the many streams
poured through the windows , It burned awnyt
until thcro was nothing more to feed on.
There was no ono on the ground who could
give any plausible reason for the origin of
the flro , or what caused the explosion which
blow out the windows. The stock was not
of a nature which would reasonably be ex
pected to cause such a result , but these who
saw it first are positive. In the opinion1 there
was an explosion.
The building Is owned by Mrs. I. Brown
and IB a four-story brick. Just what the
damage to It will be cannot bo told to a cer
tainty until there is a bettor opportunity to
Investigate It than at the present writing.
Thcro Is nothing left of the Interior of the
rear portion of the three upper stories , but
whether the walls are rulncd or not cannot
yet bo told.
LOSS ON BUILDING AND STOCK.
The * loss OH stock , which Mr. I. Brown
states was Inventoried a short time ago nt
$37,000 , will , ho thinks , bo almost total , from
Injury by the flames nnd water. The stock
was Insured for $27,000 with Webster &
Howard , Martin , Perfect & Newman , and
Howcll. The rear portion of the three upper
storied wao badly gutted by the flames , nnd
$3,000 will approximate the lota , with $10-
000 Insurance with local companies.
Mr. Brown stated that ho was at a coln-
ploto loss to know how the flro started. Ho
and his two partners , Messrs. B. and B.
Madonsky , loft the store at G:80 : , nnd there
wore no combustibles of any description In the
building. On' the second flocr near the rear
a small heating stove had been left partly-
filled with coal , but had been tightly closed ,
and all dampcro turned off before they loft
(
the store.
Tbo larger portion of the stock had been
lately placed on the second floor , and yes
terday they had began to move wine of It
to the third , but only a small amount had
been moved. The top floor waa empty ,
