INQUEST IN HEAEEY CASE.
Jury
Decided That He Was Eying
on the Track.
An inquest into tho death of An
thony llealcy, who was killed bv an
lhle and Wyoming Valley train In
Dunmorc last Friday moinlng was
held last night. The jury agreed upon
a verdict deciding that he was lying
on tho Hack when ho came to his
death and that his death was purely
accidental.
This decision was leached after hear
ing the testimony of severnl witnesses,
who said they had seen Ilealey lying
alongside tho track in tho early part
of the evening. The engineer of the
train said that he saw no one walking
on tho track.
FROM DEMON TO ANGEL.
Through His Rough Soul There Ran
a Strain That Connected Him
with the Angels.
I'roin the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
He came Into the hotel pallor with
out being asked. A number of gentle
men unci ladles were engaged In con
versation. He was evidently a guest,
and had a perfect light to the apart
ment; but the fact that ho was de
trop did not affect him in the least.
Ho had a dlsagieeable and forbidding
face and manner. His countenance
bore the marks of dissipation nntl
degradation; his eyes were bleated.
He was ugly, both In person and
movement, and when he took a chair
the conveisatlon ceased and there was
an unpleasant constraint, as If an evil
spirit wete preset. The ugly man re
mained seated, with his head bowed
down, fi owning ut space. I.lttle by
little the conversation began to revive,
but attention never thotoughly left
the ugly man. When he aiose from
his chair every eye glanced furtively
In his direction. Without noticing
anyone he walked nonchalantly to the
piano and opened It. There was a
deathlike sllecne. Who asked for
music'.' was the involuntary thought,
but no one had the couruge to speak
to tho Intruder. He ran his lingers
carelessly over the keys, and his ugli
ness disappeared. From demon ho
was become ungel. He Beeincd to be
playing to pleaso his own fancy, wan
deilng without effort from one theme
to another. Tho listeners were charm
ed; teais came to the eyes of the la
dles. The music was telling of life; of
Its joys and sorrows; of deep woods
with the sun In lacewoik on the
ground nnd the birds singing In the
trees; of moonlight In tho faraway,
dreamy places; of recollections of de
parted friends, nnd tho padness of dls
appointment. How could sueh a deli
cate, soaring spirit, moved to the mys
tical expression of harmony, be lodged
In that coarse, degraded body? Tho
ugly man, charming his listeners so
that they xvere enraptuied with him,
was like Caliban, the vicious, deatruc
tlvo demon, who dreamed of the music
on his island: "The Islo Is full of nois
es, sounds and sweet ulrs that give
delight and hurt not."
The pianist wa a Paul Vetlalne, a
dual being, one who leads ono life of
the body and another of tho Bplrlt.
Suddenly the playing ceased abruptly,
tho player turned on his Btool und
gave a lint eh, guttcral laugh. Ho was
the ugly man again.

CHAMPION JKFFRIES
AT THE ACADEMY
BOXED WITH HIS SPARRING
PARTNER LAST NIOIiT.
When Seen by a Tribune Man After
wards Ho Said That He Is Willing
and Anxious to Meet Corbctt Again
but Is Particularly Anxious to
Havo Another Chance at Tom
Sharkey Through His Manngor
He Talked of His Recent Fight
with Corbett.
Jnmea J. Jeffries, champion heavy
weight pugilist of the world, win 'n
the city last night, and appearoJ at
the Academy of Music, where he gavo
a sparring exhibition between the Hst
two nets of "From Sire to Son." pre
sented by tho Keystone Dramatic com
pany. His sparring partner was a large and
ponderous Individual by tho name of
Ed. Dunkhorat, otherwise known as
tho Syracuse Giant. He is also in
ferred to by the rather appropriate
name of "Tho Human Freight Car,"
the author of which pleasing title Is
unknown, but the nnmo has been used
In referring to him by James J. Cor
bett, Jeffries' scholarly antagonist of
last Friday night.
Three rounds were boxed and wero
refereed by Itoss O'Neil, ono of Jc(ttioV
tralncis. Chnmplon Jim nppeared In
the best of condition and toyed easily
with his gigantic opponent, Mapping
his moon-llko faco and, In fact, push
ing the freight car all over the track,
metaphorically speaking.
JEFFRIES INTERVIEWED.
Jeffries was Inte.'vlcvved bv a Trib
une man at the Hotel Jernivn, where
ho, O'Nell nnd E. G. Cooke, his mona
ger cm this trip, were staying. Jen'iies
himself was In a weary condl on when
teen. He umpired the base ball game
at Wllkes-Harre In the uftcrnooi and
that Is 'nuff said.
To umpire a game Is no slarcur-s I'l
any case, but when 4,000 Wilke-Uar-reans
are on the field It Is enough to
wear out uny man, even If lis weighs
225 pounds, is over Mx feet till und Is
named James J. Jeff lies. His mind
was tired and Mr. Cooke kindly in
formed the wilter that he would do
all Jeffries' talking for him. "I want
to say," he remarked, "that Mr. Jef
fries Is no talker.," which was very
evident. "He believes In the motto.
'Actions speak louder than worrit,.' He
Is ready to light James J. Corbett
ngaln. His manager. William A.
Brady Is In New York today to post a
sum of money In the hands of Al.
Smith for a match and to bet $10,000
to $3,000 that Corbett xvlll get the
same medicine again; In fact, to force
the Issue, Jim Is readv to meet any
one of the heavyweights, but stipu
lates that In a bout with Fltzsimmons
ho get 03 per cent., win or lose, the
same conditions that Fltz forced him
to accept In their light."
JoiTiies himself was as silent as the
proveiblal oytter during his mana
ger's talk, and acted like a big, awk
xvard schoolboy. Ho appears stronger
nnd In bc.cer condition that at nny
time In ils fighting career, and bears
baldly any maiks of the punishment
glx-en him by Corbett In their fight
Friday night.
WANTS TO MEET SHARKEY.
On being asked whether any fights
xvero immlrent, Jeftiles replied,
through Mr. Cooke, that Sharkey xvas
the man of all men ne desired to meet.
"Sharkey's assertion," said Mr. Jeff
ries, via Mr. Cooke, "that Jim H a
poor sort of champion Id ridiculous,
considering his record of three big,
heavy champions defeated."
Jeffries' face here lit up, as he saw
an opportunity to break Into the con
versation and with a big guffaw ho re
marked: "They must have been nwful
bum, eh'"
"Corbett," said Mr. Cooke, "was In
better form when he met Jim than
he was when he fought John L. Sul
livan, according to tho spectators at
the ringside who saw both fights. He
put up a gcod running fight, but It
only adds to Jim's victory. This talk
of Corbett's having left himself un
protected and Jim having so got In a
chance blow Is nil tldlculous. There
is no such thing as n chaneo blow."
TIik talk nbout Corbett's being able
to sttlke an effective blow with his
right aim only was here brought up
nnd the champion himelf here became
suddenly loquoclous nnd remarked:
"Oh. lie can use both fists, all right."
Mi. Cooke furthermore said about
the fight that Corbett merely ran all
over the ring, dodging Jeffries, and
that In a smaller ring he xvould have
been out In halt as many rounds.
WOI.COTT-RYAX FIGHT.
In regard to Joe Wolcott. tho ter
rific fighting little negro, xvho has now
blossomed forth as an aspirant for
championship honors. Air. Cooke re
marki'd that a fight may be arranged
between him rnd Tommy Ryan.
Jeffries' experiences as umplro so
far havo been most successful ones,
crowds of thousands turning out In
even' Instance to sen the champion
of champs, nnd an odd feature of hli
experience being that not ones has
he received uny back talk from a
player, nor In nny Instance has an
attempt befit! mads to tun him oft tho
field
Ho leaves town this morning for
Riadlng, where ho xvlll this afternoon

MILLIONS OF GOLD GONE
An Immenso Sum Which tho Treas
ury Authorities Through Their
Special Agents Aro Trying to Lo
cate.
"Holland," In Phlladrlplili Press.
Some months ago Mr. Muhleman un
dertook to furnish roine Information
for this corerspondenco which xvould
give a fairly good idea of the amount
of gold held in tho United States. Mr.
Muhleman Is so nigh nn authority
upon this subject thnt ho has recently
been entrusted by the Treasury de
partment with the opportunity and
responsibility of solving the mystery
of tho disappearance us alleged of
$100,000,000 In gold.
iMr. Muhlemann last summer, when
striving to obtain the Information
just alluded to, exhausted every
ax-nllable record. Ho took from mys
terious pigeon-holes documents that
had been carefully filed away and that
seemed when unfolded to give a com
plete revelation of the condition of nil
civilized nations of tho xvorld with
respect to their gold supply. This
data enabled hlin to assert that xve
had passed France and xvere far ahead
of Geimany, Russia or Great Urltaln
In our supply of gold, xvhlch ho esti
mated to have passed the $1,000,000,000
mark.
Ho could put his finger upon the
statistics, which showed where about
$600,000,000 of this gold then xvns. Ho
could actually have put his hand with
in five minutes on nearly $200,000,000 of
it held by the banks, the sub-treasury
and tho clearing house. Hut ho con
fessed that somewhere, either in jew
lery or In stockings or tin and plaster
savings banks such as children use,
or In other mysterious places, there
xxas about $100,000,000 that xvas to be
accounted for. It Is this $100,000,000
that the treasury department has offi
cially set Mr. Muhlemann at work to
discover.
He may possibly, through his ap
peals to jewelers and the manufactur
ers of dentists' supplies and of gold
leaf, discover xvhere $200,000,000 of It
has gone. In fact, Mr. Muhlmann
says that the American people arc
carrying permanently In their teeth a
good many millions more in gold than
Is commonly presumed to be the case,
and the enlarged use of crown fillings
or complete gold teeth that has been
developed In the last ten years has
taken from our gold supply a very
large quantity of the metal. It Is the
remaining $200,000,000, the amount be
ing approximately estimated, that xvlll
be. In Mr. Muhlemann's xiexx1, the most
dlfllcult to dlscox'er. Ho cannot xvrite
to all the misers of tho United State.,
or, If he could, they xvould refuse lo
answer questions that xvould expose
their sectet hoards.
A few years ago there died In this
city a man xvho xvas prominently asso
ciated xvlth one of the greater rall
xvay systems, and who had high repu
tation as a financier. After his death.
It xvas discovered that in his private
vault In ono of tho banks he hnd, so
to speak, secreted nearly $800,000 In
gold and a depositor In another bank
left for safe keeping" In the vaults of
that bank a little over $500,000 In gold
that x-as undisturbed so long that the
canvas bags In xvhlch it was kept
xvero rotted.
There are more people xvho make it
a point xvhen they recelxe a gold piece
to xvithdraw- It from circulation by
hiding It In some secret place than
any census statistics could reveal, and
the amount of gold thus hoarded Is
probably very large, reaching xx'ell up
Into the millions. That xvlll never bo
discovered until our people have be
come so accustomed to tho use of
gold and so certain that paper curren
cy can be Instantly converted Into
gold that no longer xvlll there bo any
temptation to hoard It.
Rut there Is another reason for tho
disappearance of some of this gold,
nnd that Is the custom of Italians
and the Chinese after they have been
In this country a little xvhlle to con
veit as much as possible of their sav
ings into gold, xvhlch they do through
the money changers, and then take it
out of the country. Nobody can tell
how much gold has gone secretly in
that xvny, but It Is believed to bo cer
tain that enough has been taken
axvay In pouches and In money belts
secret6tl upon the person, to account
for a conslderbale part of this miss
ing $100,000,000.
Mr, Muhlemann xvlll hax'e another
problem to solve, since he xvlll bo
compelled to decide whether tho treas
ury estimates upon which ho first
based his billion dollar report xvers
entirely accutate.

Attorney Beers said yesterday, con
cerning the latest move: "'We have no
desire to persecute anyone, but we be
lieve these men, In addition to selling

Jurors, which Is a far graver offense
than the one for which thev were ar

organized attempt to thwart Justice,
and in these atfd any subsequent cases
In which wo may be engaged, we pro
pose to do our best to see that the law
generally Is respected and decently en

after the men who stubbornly refuse
to keen within the limits of the law,
and who do not hesitate to commit one
crime with a view to hiding a prior
transgression."
