Miners Who Were Trying to Save Their Entombed Comrades. Tnoxwoop, Mion., Sept. 30.—All evening and last night the 2,000 miners employed in the Norrie iron mine took turns at working in the relief party seeking to rescue the eleven men buried in 8 shaft by a fall of ‘Ground yesterday morning. Shifts were made every ten minutes and the men worked like tigers. Their“efforts were directed toward driving » new drift to the fifth level, where their bodies will be found. Late Inst night the signals were given by the relief party and answered by the entombed men by pounding on the iron pillar, which ex- tends from the surface to the chambers where the men are imprisoned, so it is certain some of them were alive at that time. The scenes about the mouth of No. 8 shaft have been most harrowing.

At the time of his death Mr. McCary was emploved in the recorder of deeds’ offiee, where he had made many friends, and their floral design as a Soon eriatr teen ant friendship was some- thing elaborate.

Several Theories Developed in Regard to Col. Canaday’s Case. PEOPLE MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE DEAD MAN’ ROOM BEFORE THE SUICIDE was Fouxp— WHAT THE JONES’ CHILDREN HEARD DURING THE NIGHT—SUSPICIONS AROUSED. Interest in the Canaday mystery—for it is so termed now—increases continually. Every in- events which immediately preceded and followed it, seems to be satisfied that the half has never been told. Scraps of testi- mony and rather sold fragments of suspicion have been formed into links that some day will | almost surely encumber the movements of at least one |= man who is now ap-| parently free, but who at heart is already a prisoner. Theory after theory has been tried and discarded, and a¥ last there has | come to more than one investigator testimony which points conclusively toa conspiracy. Not aconspiracy which looked directly for the | death of Col. Canaday, but a plot in which the colonel himself figured merely as one of three. | THE MYSTERY THICKENS. It would seem now as though there really were other men than the colonel in the office | before 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning,and if such was the case the mystery thickens considerably. In the room immediately below that in which the colonel was found tied to the dumb waiter door slept two little girls, daughters of Mra. Jones, the janitress. They were awakened long before daylight by sounds on the floor above—sounds of voices and footsteps. Not unnaturally the children were very much frightened, 0 much so that they feared to walk through the hallway to their mother's bed chamber, in the front part of After awhile the little girls slept again, and at 5 o'clock, or perhaps a trifle earlier, were once more awakened, this time by the sounds of brenking and alling . Fragments, some of which were quite , dropped into the yard, not more than five or six feet from the window of the children’s room. Quite soon thereafter there was pounding upon the dumb waiter door in: the room | above, and as the girls’ bed was at the foot ‘of haft they heard every noise quite plainly. They heard Mr. Stevenson converse with the colonel while be was cutting him down and it was just about to tell their mother of the disturbances. WHAT THE INDICATIONS ARE. The indications, therefore, are that some time during the night persons unknown entered | either No. 712 or 714 by the legitimate front door entrance; that they moved around and made considerable noise not so long before day- ‘ight, and that when they departed Col. Canaday broke the window and gave himself | the appearance of having been bound and | gugged. It may even have been that the col- onel was tied and that the other party or parties broke the window and mannged to escape by way of the alley without any one seeing him or them. WHERE ARE THE WATCHES? Perhaps the most frequently repeated query at this time is, “Where are Col. Canaday's two watches? At least one of them was in his possession on Monday evening, but neither of them has yet been found by Mr. Collahan, the collecetor appointed by the court. ‘To a certain extent Mr. Houghton will be held responsible for the misting valuables, for it was he who went through Col. Canaday effects on Tuesday. He secured all the keys immediately after the suicide and he kept them and wed them until yesterday evening. Mr. Collaban has them now. All through this morning Mr. Collahan and Miss Claggett—Col. Canaday's private secre- tars—continued their examination of the ccl- onel’s papers, but found nothing of any im- portance; no evidence of partnership between | the colonel and Houghton. Apropos of that partnership claim made by Mr. Houghton, it can be stated positively that Col. Canaday told a friend quite recently that Houghton w: curing pension and claim business for him on commission. INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS. Until it has been definitely decided by the courts that Col. Canaday and J. Q. A. Houghton were or were not partners in business, there will be trouble over the little property the colonel left behind him. ‘There was trouble yesterday, Collector J. C. Coilahan being on one side of the question and J.Q. A. Houghton on the other. Houghton wanted to take possession of the offices as soon the appraisers had completed their inventory, but Coiluhan would not give way; fact he made his title just a tri-| fle the more satisfactory — rivetted it, as it were—by having a lock expert change the’ combination of the safe, Unless Mr. | Houghton isa mind reader or a postmaster in | Plactical theosophy he is, completely on. the outside so far as most of the colonel’s private papers are concerned. he question of partnership is one over which there is much controversy and the greater part of it springs from the diverse statements made by Houghton. When first asked to produ documentary evidence of partnership with the colonel Mr. Houghton said that could not be done because Cauaday had burned the papers. Yesterday he said he bad a document which would prove partner thip. Miss Claggett, who was Col. Cana iay’s confidential clerk, States most positively that there never was a partnership and that the only semblance of it was to be found in Houghton’s declarations, the like of which were never heard during the colone!'s lifetime. In an application for an in junction to restrain Collector Callaan from retaining possession of Col Cana- day's papers Mr. Houghton alleges that a partnership was entered into November 15, 1391, he investing therein the sum of $7,000. Yet, when Col introduced Houghton to Lieut. Amiss last Sunday, he informed the lieutenant tha: Houghton was simply a friend and a client, who had desk room in his (Cana- dy’s) offices. judge Bradley issued a rule to show cause returnable on Monday next. No DOUBT ABOUT THE SUICIDE, The theory that Col. Canaday did not com- mit suicide, but was murdered—advanced by several people who are taking more thana little interest in the case—is entirely un- tenable. Tne Star has found a witness who was in Col. Canaday’s room whi he wrote the farewell notes. This witness is a little colored girl—a "daughter. of Mrs, Jones and a favorite with the colonel. She remained in the apartment until the colonel asked her to go down stairs, saying: “I want to be by myeelf fora minute or two.” When she went out he locked the door, and be- fore the had fairly gotten down the stairs she heard the pistol rhot that ended all the colo- nel’s miseries on this globe. TO BE BURIED THIS AFTERNOON. Col. Canaday’s remains will be buried this afternoon in Rock Creek Cemetery. Funeral services will be conducted at Speure’s undertak- ing establichment, No. 940 F street, by the Rev. 8. H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, commencing at 4 o'clock. The pall-bearers will be ex-lepresentative Nichols, Monroe L. Fox, D. McD. Lindsay, J. M. Hines, G. E. Wesner, V. Singlebury'and W. 8. Odell. Mr. H. L.

A subpena bas been served upon Count Mit- Kiewiez to appear before the grand jury on Monday as a witness in support of the informa- tion filed in his behalf charging crimipal libel against the New York Recorder. There will probably be no extradition papers for the count granted if asked for by the governor of New York on complaint of Lawyer Burke until after his appearance before the gran jury.
