The Inventor of the Cyclone Pulver

Upon Charge of Having Hypno

Canadian Annexation and Endorsed
Checks with Equal Ease End of a

New York, 1'ob. 21.
ERASTUS WIMAN, formerly man
ager for R. O. Dun & Co.. mer
cantile agency, tuiider ot the
staten inland Rapi1 Transit
railroad, mi n prominent advocate of
the annexation cf Canada to the
United State", was arretted today
charged with forgeries amounting to
239.000. Ha was arraigned before
Judge Martine, in chambers, in the
general sessions, ami commuted to the
tomls in default of $23,000 bail. Soot:
after the arrest the grand Jury handed
down two indictments charging Wi
man with forgery in the second degree.
The complaint on which the in
dictments were found is a 1-ngthy
one and sets forth that Wfinan
held only a salaried position with
the agency and was unauthon zd
to nse the rann'y of the linn.
The complaint says that the al
leged forgeries and stea'incrs took place
during the year 1888, 1890. 1'Jl and
1892. and up to February, 1893 The
specific charge" of the many alleged
forgeries and embezzlements against
Wiman were two in number. O i i is
that he got a chock for $10,000 from
the cashier of Dun & Co. on the repre
sentation that it eras to pay a bill due
E. W. Bollinger, of New York, by Dun
& Co. for material purchased. After
getting the check it is alleged that he
forged Bullinger's endorsement on the
back and deposited it to his own credit
in the bank. Dun & Co. subsequently
paid Mr. Bullinger his bill.
A PECULIAR DEAL WITH CAMPBELL CO.
The other case charged is that Wi
man got a check for $3,580 to par the
account of the Campbell Printing Press
and Manufacturing company. He then
went to the Campbell company, and
telling them that Dun & Co. were short
of funds, asked them whether they
would like notes for their account in
stead of cash. On Mr. Brower acqniesc
log in this proposition, he made two
notes coTeriog the amount, in his own
name and delivered them to bim. He
then forged the name of Ogden Brower,
treasurer, on the bacic of the check
and appropriated it to his own use.
The complaint goes on to sav : Mr.
Dun first learned of any of Winian's
crimes in the latter part of Febrnary,
1893. Mr. Dun, immediately on the
20th day of February. 193. terminated
his contract with Wiman, dismissed
him from his employ and has never
seen him since. On learning that his
crimes had been detected, Wiman of
fered to transfer to Mr. Dun certain
real estate Interests on St uteri Island of
doubtful value, hut Mr. Dun, learning
that Wioan was insolvent, refused to
accept them or to receive any prefer
ence over his other creditors Wiman
therefore made a formal assignment for
the benefit of his creditors, but his as
sets have amounted to almost nothing.
DUX AND CO WERE TP.NDER-HKAHTKD.
Mr. Dan did not submit the proof of
Winau's crira to the authorities on
first discovering them for several rea
sons. In the first place he was moved
by considerations of sympathy for Wi
nan's family with whom ho had been
on terms of frienship for many years,
and the piteous appeals for mercy
which Winan made to him in a letter.
There was uo signature to the forego
ing complaint, but its authorship is
credited to ex-District Attorney Dj
lanoy Nicoll.
Mr. Wiman expressed some surprise
at his arrest, and then asked if tnere
would be an opportunity to get bail.
He said he ought to have a lawyer and
would like to bo represented by coun
sel. An tffort was made by friends to
get bail late in the afternoon, but
without snccsss. Neither did Mr
man have counsel when takffn to
general sessions by the defectives.

f7 "LONG aud animated discus
fj siou was started in the senate
lr- 'ar'y ltM'"y by Mr. Voorheos,
li u Indiana, ri-ing to contradict a
si ry published in the Philadelphia
Press as to the Democratic meiubsrs of
the finance committee culling upon
President Cleveland at the white
bonse and receiving instructions from
him as to some points in the tarilf hill.
Mr. Voorliees declare! with earnest
ness that there was not tho faintest
particle or shadow of truth in tiie
statement.
A fresh subject of annoyance and
bitterness was supplied in an inquiry
by Mr. Chandler, New Hampshire, as
to the actual position held by Mr.
Mills, Texas, in counsctiou with the
finance committor Mr, Mills having
been designated to act a member in the
absence of Mr. MoPhersOO, New Jer
sey, ou account of illness As Mr. Mo
Phcrson had been in Washington for
the last week, Mr. Chandler wanted to
know whether tlie New Jersay senator
or the Texts senator was now a mem
ber of the committee or whether both
were members.
Bafore his curioiity was relieved on
that point, if it was relieved at all,
many senators hail been drawn into
the disputation which bocaun at times
quite personal and provocative of some
a, , initio i of temp -r. After this epl
odo Mr. White, California, addressed
ae senate in advocacy or tlie resolu
tion, declaring a consideration of the
project of annexation of Hawaiian ter
ritory to be unwise and inexpedient.
The senate adjourned at 5:45 p. m.

the speaker ordered the sergeant-at-

NAPOLEON IVES IS ILL.
Th Han Who Juggled atlllions Bsportsd
Dying in Florida.
New Yokk, Feb. 21 A dispatch re
ceived today from the west saying that
W. C Hlnesrsoii, of the Oueen nnd
Crescent railway, who has just returned
from Tampa Bay, Florida, reports
Henry S. Ives to be a physical wreck.
ri called to Wall street men the sensa
tional career of this wizard of Hnanco.
Henry S. Ives came into prominence
about eight years ago. H was the suo-
cnsor of Iterdinand Ward as the most
interesting object of speculative Wall
street. Ives had been brought up in
the atmosphere of the Street, and when
he blazed out as the head of the firm of
Ives & Stsyntr, men who knew him
best predicted that he would be either
a sttipenutious success or a colossal
failure.
He turned out to be a little of both.
No scheme was too great for this voting
man to tackle, and he talked millions
as glibly as most people discuss 10-cent
pieces. Ives was not more than 20
years or age wnen ne nrst startled
Wall street by Ins operations in Cm
cinnuti, Hamilton and Dayton, by
which he finally obtained possession of
tho road.
Morals were at a low ebb in the
stret, at the time, and while conserva
tive men suspectod that Ives was doing
business in the mull styl there were
gamblers who pinned faith in his luck
and audacity. For nearly two yea s
bj was connectod witn all big move
ments on the street and no operation
was of great enough magnitude to
scare him away.
While in his heyday he was a lavish
spender of money aud gave princely
entertainments at his house in Brook
lyn and on board the eteam yacht
Tillia' which he had purchased from
Commodore St sr buck on credit.
About throe years ago Ives was mar
ried, and has been living very unlet ly
Minor. In appearance he is ot medium
height, rather slenderly built. He has
a good -looking face aud wears a dark-
brown mustache and slight side wins
leers, He is nearsighted and wears
glasses.

Harris, of the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad company, was on toe

A discussion ensned btwoon counsel
over tho alleged duty of the master to
audit the accounts of the Reading Rail

ceivors, held that this could not bs
done in its entirety. Master Crawford
declared that it has been impmcticaole
for him to audit the Reading accounts
monthly. Lawyer Bijur thereupon
suggested that two masters should be

Mr. McLeod $300,000 of the securities,
will he subpoenaod It is expiated
that Master Crawford will make his
report to the United States circuit

HAWAIIAN REPORTS.
Mr. Morgan's Document Relieves All
Sides from Censure and Should
Act as Oil Upon Waters.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 21 The
full committee on foreign affairs which
to-day for the first time heard the re
port of the sub-committee whic i has
been investigating Hawaiian affairs,
as drawn by Mr. Morgan, did not agre
upon the report, although Mr. Mor
g.n's document will be made the com
mittee report to bo accompanied, how
ever, by non-concurring statem-;nt8, in
the shape of supplemental reports, all
of whicli will bo laid before the sitiate
Monday next.
Mr. Morgan finds that the quosn
brought about a revolution by violat
ing the constitution under w'. ioli she
rules aud that having gone so far and
being forced to abdicate, the people
were justifi-d in setting up a pro
visional government. This being found
to be the case Mr. Morgan necessarily
falls to censure either Minister Stevens
or Captain Wiltse, who caused the
troops of the Boston to be landed.
Mr. Blouut is not condemned for the
reason that Mr. Morgan believes he
acted upon insufficinut testimony, and
tho administration basing its case upon
Mr. Blount's insufficient evidence is
likewise the subject of criticism. The
establishment of a protectorate is
found to have been unjustified and the
flag incident does not play a very im
portant psrt in the report.
Mr. Willis, acting under lcstrnc
ious from the government is, there
fore, not oharged with any wrongdoing.

THE STCRY OF THE WRECK.
Admiral Stanton's Graphic Account of
the Disaster to the Ill-Fated
Warship the Kearsarge
QUARANTINE, N. Y., Feb. 21. Rear
Admiral Stanton ant nineteen officers
and 183 men of the ill fated Kearsnge,
arrived at C'israutine this morning
shortly after 10 o'clock, on the Colon
steamer City of Para, after a teven
days paatage from Co Ion. Admiral
Stantou re i lily talked of the disaster
although carefully avoiding any state
ments that might incriminate anybody
or give a reason for tbe accident.
These, said he, were matters for
the attention of the investigat
ing board. After the frigate
struck it was found that there was
very lit.ii wator under her forward,
and fearing ah" might slip off into
deeper water and sink, a little raft, or
catamaran was launched s snou as it
was light enough to see, aud a kedge
anchor carriad ashore and a hawesr
made fast to hold tho ship upon the
reef. This hnwser was rove through a
pulley and a systematic effort was at
once male to land all hands in a boat
with a line fast to a block wuioh trav
eled on the hawser.
A strong northeast trade wind was
blowing steadily at the time. Tho
boat could carry six men at a time and
consequently it took considerable time
to land all linn, is. novisions, water
carta and uauv'.s to build temporary
shelter aere brought on shore and pre
parations were at once made to erect
sleeping quarters. Under the direction
of the officers men were told off to dif
ferent kinds of work. Sesuieu ai,d
marines contrived impromptu tents
while otheis built fires nnd raide
ready for th cooks. A Well was also
daR and a supply of freah water pro
vided for.
There was but one accident of a f atal
nature. Fireman Andrew Robbins,
while wading around in the shallow
water, fell into a deep hole and was
drowned, although every effort was
made to sava him. A lieutenant ami
seven men were dispatched to Old
Providence for aid in a life boat and
the remainder of the crew nwaited
succor in comparative comfort.
On tho 10th, juat ten days ater the
accident, the City of i'aru hove in sight
and the work of taking off the wrecked
men at once began. Thus was safely
accomplished without iucident and a
start was at once Blade for Colon.
When last seen tho famous old frigate
was hove down on one side with several
large holes in her bottom.
