WOUNDED IN CENTRAL PARK. GENTRY NOW HAS PREUMORIA FUNERAL ‘Woman Seen Leaving Near Where Schaefer Was Found, He Says tre Attempted Suicide, but There Are Signs of a Struggle. ‘Adolph Schaefer, the young man who was found in Central Park last night Suffering from a bullet-wound in the head, is dying in Manhattan Hospital. He refuses to give any information re- Specting himself, and beyond saying that he shot himself, will not tell why he tried to take his life. There is known to be @ woman in the case and the police @re searching for her. It was just a few minutes bef night when Patroiman Madden, standing near the gate at One Hundred and Sec- ond street and Fifth avenue, saw a woman leave the park. He noticed her particularly because it was such a late hour. She wes dressed in deep black and was heavily veiled. He noticed that she carried in her hand a black-bordered handkerchief, and that she seemed to:be crying. Madden looked after her until she disappeared in the darkness, then he moved on into the park. As the policeman walked epproach to McGown's Paes” thn me heard a groan, and an instant ‘later. stumbled over the body of a man. It ae too dark to see much, but the man groan: ain w y groaned ag en the policeman fell “What are you doing h of, the night, asked Statdens vm urt,"” answi * eae injaell ered the man, “1 ter that, in response to the whistle the patroiman, other policemen ca @nd the man was carried to the inn, There it was found that he had a bullet ound in his forehead and was. weak from the loss of blood, Patrolman Madden at once connected je condition of the men with the un- own Woman, but when he asked the injured man, the latter on:y shook his head and said again: “I shot myself.” A search was made near the spot where the man wae found, and the re- ult was the finding of a revolver. One chamber was empty, the others loaded. Near the spot the grass was trampled, nd it looked as though there . might ave been a struggle. While the ambu‘ance was coming from Manhattan ‘Hospital the injured man gaid that his name was Adolf Schaefer. Beyond that he would not say a wor He aipeare to be thirty years old. He is fuily six feet tail of powerful bul: His clothes, a dark suit goat, are of good materi: hair’and eves and a brown mustache, By the time the ambulance came, the man was so low that t poradan did Not belleve he could live to get to the hospital, He did live, but. the physician that no effort could be made to ®earch for the bullet.

There was nothing in the pockets of the wounded man that would lead to h identity.

His Mother Writes That He Was Alway an Obedient Boy. (Special to The Evening World.) | PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 23.—Uniess a change for the better is shown, James i. Gentry, the murderer of pretty Madge Yorke, will not face an earthly tribunal, This morning he ts suffering intense physical pain, ‘The physicians have grave doubts of his recovery, “He is very low, indeed, this morn- ing,” sald the doctor at the German Hospital, ‘and the appearance of inter- nal hemorrhages has lessened the chance of his surviving the ordeal." From all appearances Gentry has not any more hours to live, He bears him- self heroically and smiles gratefully on the nurses for any attention pald to him. He «peaks little, but ts continu- ally mumbling to himself, and at times his mind wanders. Pheumonia, the result of the fractured rib pressing through the pleura and lacerating the left lung, has set In, and has sent the murderer's temperature to 103. The chief resident physician at the German Hospital received a letter from Gentry's mother, in Richmond, yester- day. She expressed great regret and wonderment at her son's act, and wrote he had always been a dutiful and obedi- ent boy. Mrs Gentry said she could not come to Philadelphia at present, but im- plored the doctors to inform her, without delay, of any change in her son's condi- uon, Manager Blaney, of the “Baggage Check” company, was very outspoken. ind nave decided not to Wischarge Magee, IN Bike Os ait ey ieee he says “My reason vor this knows his business, and I don't want to spoil my show. If I discharge him it will merely be because he has made a fool of himself. Adulation, flattery, no- toriety and getting their names in the papers are some actors’ weaknesses, and nothing will ever cure them of It.’ ‘At U o'clock this morning, the mem- bers of the “ Baggage Check’’ company assembled at the Coroner's office to make depositions relative to the shoot- ing done at Zelsse's Hotel last Sunday night. ‘There was the usual crowd of curious sightseers, who scanned the features of ali thé members as they came in. Miss Lida Clark, the person who wit- nessed the affair, and “Reddy” Magee, the comedian of ‘the company, came in for special attention. Much to the disappointment of the spectators, Deputy Coroner Dugan. took the testimony behind closed doors. Eddie Magee Was the first witness. Al ter submitting to a searching in’ ation for twenty minutes, he wi lowed to go. To an "Evening reporter he said: “They asked me what I knew about the murder and I told them nothing.

Founded by French Socialists in Adams County, CORNING, Ia., Feb, 22.—The members of the Icarian community, three miles east of this city, have agreed to a division of their property and a dls- solution of their soctety, and steps are now being taken to that end. A re- ceiver will be asked for, This community {s socialistic in the extreme, Its founder was E. Cabet, and its inception dated back to a period just previous to the French revolution, When sixty-nine socialists embarked from Havre for Texas, and located near the Red River, The internal dissen- sions discouraged them, and they re- moved to New Orleans, ‘As soon as Cabet learned of this change of base he sailed for New Or- leans, and assumed supervisi6n of the colony Under his leadership they mi- grated to Nauvoo, Ill, Here the Icar- fans were successful for a time. Dis- sensions again arose, and in 1856 Cabet and 170 adherents left the remainder and went to St. Louis, where the founder of Icarla died the same year. Mean- time the other faction had settled in Adams County, Ia., and were incor- porated under the laws as Icarla, They have resided here ever since, ‘Another rupture occurred in 1879, when the property was divided. The Temaining members have continued in the original manner of living. MOTHERS ‘and those about to become hat Dr. Pierce's Favorite Should ee obs childbirth of ite f John E.
