New Havey, Conn, Feb. 23— Advices from Middleton state that a commit - cluding the president and two members of the faculty, have been investigating the ex plosion at the Wesleyan university last Thurs day, and after a hard day’s work succeeded in getting at the bottom facts. The hearix was secret and each member of the 1eeshmen class was called in and subjected 1o a severe examination. 1t is learned that two of the men confessed, implicating six or eight others. The faculty refuses to give up any nformation. 1rom other sources it is learned that the men who confessed ave W, 11, Hall and Rob- 3. Smith. The names of the othors are Kooksby, Nelson C. Hubbard, C. H. Pierce, C. W. Douglas, R. M. Grant, K. J Lambyln and H. P. Queal. It scems that a party had planncd to usher in Washington's birth \g salutes with a canon and aftery: urn to_the college ground and throw bombs into the _entrances of the various dormitorics, One bomb was given to Kooksby to cxplode in Observatory hall, another to Smith to_explode . North col- loge, while a third was sent to Hubbard, the wman who was injured. It scems that ifub- bard, wishing to back out of the scheme, in- vited several upper class men o spend 'the evening with bim, and after thoy left his room the bomb was handed to him with in structions to explode it when he heard the reports of the others. 1t is supposed that he beeame excited and by some means the bom exploded in his hand before heeould throw it, President Van Vieck has conferred with State's Attorney Ulwer with refercnce to the eriminal prosecution ol every one impli cated in the affair. Should Hubbard's in- juries prove fatal it witl undoubtedly be a very serious matter for the young rioters, It was also developed that the dynamite was obtained in New York City from the father of one of the young men implicated. It was sent to ‘Middleton by express, three of s held for them being used and three othe future use. Reports from the hospital to-night show that Hubbard is comfortable and the physi- cian is confident of his recovery. - Coldest of the Season.
