TY RICH CLUBMEN OFFER REWARD. They Will Add $1,000 to the $1,000 County Is Expected to Offer for Arrest of John Heffernan’s Slayer. AUTHORITIES ALL AT SEA. Ardsiey Victim Possibly Mistaken for Wealthy Resident, but There \ Are Suspicions that Motive May Have Been Jealousy. Members of the wealthy colony of ®ew Yorkers who have mansions around the Ardsley Country Club and at Irvington-on-the-Hudson are #0 aroused over the mysterious murder of John Hefferman near the Ardsley Club Failroad station on Sunday night and the failure of the police to capture the they decided to-day to detectives to run down the slayer. Rich clubmen will also offer a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the assassin im addition to another $1,000 which the @ounty will probably offer. The fact that the murderer, who was bareheaded, was enabled to escape over the private estates of millionaires, where there are many ferocious dogs and private watchmen on guar, is looked upon in amazement. No one saw a stranger in the neighborhood of the club Qr on the Albany Post road, and it is new believed the murderer escaped in a Fowboat or sailboat, which could have deen anchored in the Hudson at the dock th front of Robert Hewitt's estate, Rio Vista; the wall fronting on Nevis, the estate of Gen, Philip Schuyler, near by. ’ Came from Direction of Dock. Miss Sarah Campbell, who was Het- ferman's companion, says the man came from the ‘direction of Mr. Hewitt's @ock and crossed the New York Central stacks to where they were sitthg. ‘I'nis bears out the theory about the murderer using a boat. Coroner Rossell will hold the inquest @t the Irvington Town Hall to-night, when Miss Campbell will be carefully eross-examined. Every effort will bo made to hve her tell all she knows e@bout the crime. After the shooting Sarah Campbell ut- tered no outcry, but ran back to the station and was boarding a train for ‘Tarrytown when she was stopped. When Heffernan was taken to the station @nd confronted by the woman he sald: Victin’s Queer Statement. “Barah, if you had helped me I would Bot have been shot." To members of the club who cues- tioned him before he died, Hofferman @aid: “I don’t know the man who srot ine, He was a stranger, but [ :hia’ I know ‘who he was. 2 "¥es, I know this man’s name, but-I @annot tell it. “No, I will not tell his name. mot.” From these utterances of Hefferman the police and the club members inter- ested in the capture of the murderer do not believe that the woman has told all she knows, FIREMEN OVERCOME AT TENEMENT FIRE.

It Was all due to kidney trouble, for which I could secure no relief. I was under the care of my family physt- cian for a number of years, but he was unable to do me any good. I also consulted two noted spectalists on kidney diseases, but they were une able to give me more than temporary relief. I had already made applica- tion to join the army, but was turned down on eccount of my bad physical condition. * “T was advised to try that greatesh_ of all remedies—SWAMP-ROOT. . “I wrote to Dr. Kilmer & Co, at Binghamton, N.

It was in the trial of the suit of his wife, Mary Flor, who lives in Brook- lyn, for an absolute divorce. “You are a manufacturer of chains In the Bronx, arén’: you?
