Mayor Low sald tonigh{ that he would write to the rapid transit cammissloners, asking thut they aseertain the sub-contrac- tors' mothod of handling and storing ex- plosives.

Willlam Barclay Parsons, qhief engineer of the rapid transit commis- #fon, sald that Shaler whs one of the most competent and careful engineers bhe ever knew. The damage may exceed $1,000,000. The firet estimate on the Murray Hill hotel placed the loss at $100,000, but later the ho- tel was abandoned As unsdfe. If the build- g Is condemned the loss on It alone wiil approach $1,000,000, The damage to the Grand Union was estimated at $40,000 and that to the Manhattan hospital at $26,000. The loss at the Grand Central station was entirely in glass, as was that of the hun- dred or more other bulldings affected by the exvlosion. No estimate was made of the losses sus- tained by the rapld transit contractors. Moses Epps, a powder man In charge of the shanty in which the explosion occurred, s at the Flower hospital, suffering from conoussion and shock. He sald that ol to the shanty about noon he found a which he had left lighted on a shelf lying on the floor and some paper which was about It was on fire, Close to this burn- Ing paper were thirteen boxes of dynamite cartridges, each box contalning from sixty to seventy-five cariridges. Epps threw a pail of water over the fire and ran to get another one. On coming back he saw that the flames were close to the dynamite, and dropping his pail, he tried to get away. Then came the explesion and the next he knew he was a patient In the hospltal. This evening Epps was practically a pris- oner, a policeman having been assigned to guard him. In addition to those mentioned as under arrest, Andrew Murrhy was to- night locked up at a police station, although no charge was made against him. Murray had charge of the passing out of sticks of dynamite to the men In the tunnel. He sald there were about twenty sticks of dynamite In the shanty when the explosion occurred. sh in Courtroom. There was a clash in court this afternoon between District Attorney Jerome and Cor- oner Goldenkranz, resulting in the former béing struck in the face by a clerk. Jerome was in his office examining Shaper, Bracken and McGrath, the men upder arrest, when a policeman assigned to the coroner's officer and under the coroner's instructions, demanded that the prisoners appear before that officer. Mr. Jerome al- lowed them to go, but he and his assistants followed. In epite of protests the coroner gave release to the jurymen, who returned a verdict recommending the discharge of the prisoners. The coroner then opened court as a sitting magistrate, had the men re-arrested and held them without ball. More protests came from Mr. Jerome and the coroner changed his declsion, holding the men in $10,000 each. (Il this had worked up the feelings of everybody €0 much that there was a free fight. Mr. Jerome received :a blow in the face from a coroner’s clerk, who in turn was beaten by two of the district attorney's detectives. ,The detectives and the clerk had each other arrested, but better counsel prevailed. Late ton!ght Investigation of the damago done to the Murray Hill hotel was com- pleted and it showed a remarkable condition of affairs. Two-thirds of the big hostelry cannot be used until repairs have been made and the northeast corner Is closed entirely. Proprietor Jacques places the loss in 8 alone at $75,000. Every win- dow in the hotel was shattered and the window frames torn from their fastenings and blown into the rooms. Immediately after the explosion the big corridor was turned fnto a temporary hos- pital. Blood dripping from scores of wounded persons stained the marble tiling, while the doctors worked to alleviate suf- fering. The body of Mr. Robertson of Nel- son, B. C., was found In parlor N, where he had been crushed to death by timbers hurled through the window. He had made & speclal request for the room in which he mét his death and wns assigned to it Fri- day, Adam Wreneck, secretary of the American Leglon of Honor, who was also stopping at the hotel, had refused to take the room deeired by Mr. Robertson. The doctors and nurses in- the Manhattan Eye and Ear infirmary had been cut by fiylog glass, but of the sixty-two patients only a few suffered Injury and their wounds were trifling. Fine residences on Park avenue tonight shaw the force of the explosion. The house of Charles Parsons, president of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg raliroad, had all the. windows broken, the doors displaced and valuable bric-a-brac blown to pleos The house most damaged is that of Wil- lim H, Payne, which was nearest to the scene of the explosion.

TRAGEDY ENACTED IN HOTEL Killed snd Woman Badly Wewaded whh Pistol, LATTER SAYS HUSBAND FIRED THE SHOTS t from Dead Man's Hom: ia- timates Woman Was Not His fe and that Latter in Livi CHICAGO, Jan. 27.~Dr. Harry J. Ziegler of 316 West King street, Lancaster, fatally wounded his wife, Anna, and 'hnn killed himself this afternoon at the Well- ington hotel. A note left by the physiclan declared that he and his wife had decided to die and that, as he lacked the nerve, Mrs. Zeigler had promised to commit the act. The woman, before being removed to the Samaritan hospital in a dylng con- ditlon, declared that the shooting was done by her husband. The physiclan and his wife arrived at the Wellington hotel this afternoon and were assigned to a room. The two were young and apparently happy. They retired to thelr room and about 3 o'clock a call came to the clerk’'s office. When the bellboy arrived at the toom, he tound the woman tugging at the door. Blood was flowing from a wound in the back of her head. ’ “‘Oh, my husband has shot himself,” she crled, forgetting in her fear for him the pain of her own wound. Takes Her Out of Room, The bellboy took her out into the hall- way, saying that her husband might kill her, and she let him lead her away from the room. Then he hastened to the office of Dr. B. L. Riese, the house physician. When the latter arrived the husband wi dead and the wife was barely congclous. A note addressed to a morning newspaper was found in the room. It read: ““My photo bolongs to your paper. Wa declded to die, but I lack the nerve to shoot, so my wife, Annie, will do it. Send my body home to 316 West King street, Lancaster. Goodby." Mrs. Zivgler was consclous for some time after the arrival of Dr. Riese. She con- firmed the contents of the note which showed that the husband lacked at first, the determination to carry out their plans. But she too, failed, and eventually, she says, her husband shot her and then think- Ing that she was dead, turned the weapon upoa himselt. Mrs. Ziegler was removed to the Samaritan hospital, where it was sald that she cannet live. Mrs. Ziegler's father is Samuel P. Adams of this city, who é eald to be wealthy. Marriage Kept Secret. When Ziegler came to Chicago in October he answered an advertisement for an at- tendant, anq was engaged to care for Mr. Adams, who is a retired paint dealer. Anna Adams and Ziegler became attached to each other, much to the displensure, it Is sald, of the girl's mother, sister andl brother. In the latter part of November Zlegler secured a marriage license and was married to the Adams girl In a Baptist church in Woodlawn. The invalid father, accompanted the couple to the chureh. No others of the Adams family appear to have heard of the marriage until re- cently, and when they did, Ziegler was told that he would have to leave the house, Zlegler went to Bt. Louis and in his ab- sence, he is sald to have made endeavors to secure a divorce from the woman he had married in Lancaster. First Wite's Comment, LANCASTER, Pa., Jan. 27.—Hatry J. Zlegler, who fatally shot & woman purport- Ing to be his wife, and then committed sulcide at Chicago today, was a native of this city and lived hei til three years ago.

REDUCTION OF THE WAR TAX Advocated by Some Tea and Beer In- terents and Opposed by Othern, WASHINGTON, Jan, 27.—The ways and means committee today temporarily laid nslde the subject of Cuban reciprocity and entered upon the question of reducing the war revenue taxes. During the morning the tea intérests were heard on the prop- osition .to ‘take off, the tax of 10 cents & pound on tea imposed by the Spanish war revenue act. This afternoon was set aside for the beer interests. The tea interests. were numerously rep- resented, Some of those present opposed the proposed condition and Chairman Payne divided the time so that both sides might be heard. Albert P. Sloan of New York president of the National Tea Duty Repeal assoclation, made the opening statement. He summed up the appeal for reduction as follows: 1. The duty s an excessive hardlhl upon the four classes of peo —con- sumer. retailer, wholesile grocer and (ea imporier. 2. The duty is |Murlll( quality of tea wold and sumed. 3. The poorer l‘lnll(‘l pay the tax in full and the better classes are gradually being deprived of the best tea. 4. As the tea duty I8 a war tax, it should be removed, now that the war is over and there ia a surplus in the treasury. 5. As the country 18 already. heavily taxed upon the principle of protection, ft #hould not be doubly taxed upon an article which demands no protection, The opposition to the proposed reduc- tlon was opened by W. J. Buckfleld, a tea importer of New York, He sald the 10-cent duty had operated beneficlally In keeplng out the poor grades of tea, including the Japan tea dusts, which had been mixed with other teas. This gave the country better qualities of tea and eventually an improvement In quality would lead to in- creased consumption of tea. He stated that the price of tea would advance by a re- moval of the duty, and he sald prices al- ready had advanced in the expectation that the tax would be removed. At the afternoon session the beer people were represented by officials of their or- ganizations. ) MERCURY REACHES UP ACAIN Worss Rour of Omaha's Oold Saap Pasees in Early Moming.

The map {ssued by the weather bureau yes- terday morning showed In & marked way the difference In the climate of different parts of the country. . It also showed the idlosyncrasies of the prevailing storm. The first was illustrated by the reports of cuf- rent temperature made at 7 yesterday morning at different stations of the service. At Winnipeg tho mercury stood at 26 de- groes below zero, at New Orleans it was 64 degrees above, or a difference of 90 degroes.
