While the sea was still they had hopes, but yester- day the high running waves began to maike flerce assaults upon their boat. and they had to give up the battle and seek safety in flight. They climbed a trail that led up the cliff. It is said there is not a mast or timber of the schooner but what has been ground to splinters. —-— LAUNCH OF THE PERRY.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—Magistrate Brann announced his decision to-day in the case of Albert T. Patrick and Charles F. Jones, | counsel and private secretary, respective- ly, for the late Willlam M. Rice, holding | them to await the action of the Grand Jury. Ball was fixed at $10,000 each. The two prisoners are charged with having forged the signature of Mr. Rice, who died In his apartments on Madison ave- nue under strange circumstances, to a check for $25,000 drawn on the banking firm of Swenson & Sons. The check was made payable to Mr. Patrick. The check was presented at the bank for certification and, owing to an error in the spelling of Patrick’s name, held up by the bank employes. Inquiry at the home of Mr. Rice by telephome disclosed the fact that Mr. Rice had died the day fore the check was presented. Professor Witthaus reported to Coroner Hart to-day that in his chemical analysis of the stomach of William Marsh Rice he found mercury and arsenic. In his report he gives the result of the analysis of certaln organs of Mr. Rice which he recefved from the Coroner and of embalming fluid received from the un- dertaker wiq embaimed the body of M Rice. The fifid, Professor Witthaus say contained beside formal de hyde the f lowing mineral ingredients: Potassium, sodium, zinc and aluminum, sulphurie acid, arsenious acid and chloride. The embalming liquid contains no mercury. The continues: *“The analysis of the stomach and of the intestines for vegetable poisons have given negalive re- sults. The analysis of the stomach or the intestines and of the kidneys for volatile ison failed to show the presence of any oreign substance, other than formal de hyde a constituent of the embalming u“md mentioned before. The analysis for mineral poisons referred to below has not yet been to the point whers zine would appear. That metal may or may not be present. The stomach was found to contain arsenic in notable quan- titles and an unweighable minute quan- tity of mercury. The presence of ths arsenic in this and the parts mentioned below would be fccounted for if the em- balming liquid, a sample of which I ana- lyzed, had béen used In preserving this body. The intestines wers found to com- tain both arsenic and mercury. The quan- tity of mercury present in the sample ex- amined was found to be .0086 in %0 grams of tissue, equivalent to seventeen one-thousandths grains per ounce of 480 ns. “The ki contained arsenic and mer- cury also. @ quantity of arsenic has not yet been determined. The quantity of mercury present In the sample exam- ined was found to be .00S1 grams in 167 grams of tissue, equivalent to .023 grains per_ounce. “I would infer from the very small quantity of merc found in the stomach and the relatively large amount found tn the intestines and in the kidneys that metal in some form of soluble combina- tion had been introduced in the body dur- ing the life of the deceased, probably sev- anl"::gun. possibly days, previous to his eath. Coroner Hart said he would report im- mediately to the District Attorney's of- fice, and that a time would be set for a erence at which Professor Wilthaus October 81, at Metropolitan Hall and soe He said m Democrats ‘will e | port of thie confereice a date Would 5a the 2 Set for an inquest.
