Wheeler,\nwho had a road contract, with four of his\nmen, Ede, Tom Thrasher, Michael Warner\nand L 'onard Nelson, were iu their cabins\nand several other men were occupying a\ncabin eight rods above. On Monday at 1\no'olook, the men in the upper cabin\nsaw the slide go past the cabin, but\nthought nothing about it. Ede, the\nonly survivor, says they were all in the\ncabin as usual. He heard a roar, and was.\nknocked senseless. When he reovered\nconsciousness he found himself down beneath the snow, wood and dirt. He could\nonly move one hand, and a spike was driven\ninto the back of his neck.

U. Dun k Co.'s\nMercantile Agency, builder of the States\nIsland Rapid Transit railroad, and a prominent advocate of annexation of Canada to\nthe United States, was arrested to-day,\ncharged with forgeries amounting to $229,-\n000. He was arraigned before Judge Mar-\ntine uud committed to ihe Tombs in default\nof $25,000 bail. The arrest was made at the\noffice of Mr. Wiman's son-in-law, Norman\nS. Miller, in the Washington building, on a\nbench warrant issued by Judge Martine.\nSoon after, the grand jury h-tuded down two\nindictments, charging Wnn u with forgery\nin the second dtgree. Mi*. Wiman expressed aome surprise at his arrest, and then\nasked if there would be an opportunity to\nget bail. He said he ought to have a lawyer and would like to be represented by\ncounsel. Ao effort was made by friends\nto get bail late in th.- afternoon,\nbut without success. Neither did\nMr. Wimon have couusel when he\nwas taken to the general sessions\nby the detectives. As Boon as it was known\nthat Mr. Wiman had been arrested, Assistant District Attorney Lindsay made known\n' he complaint on which the indictments\nwere founded. In opening he says : \"I\nhave taken great pains to investigate these\ncharges for the purpose of satisfying myself\nwhether auy successful explanation or defense of them can be made, and I think yon\nwill agree with me that clearer cases, more\neasily proved by reputable witnesses have\nrarely, if ever, been submitted to tbe authorities.\"\nThe association known as the firm of R.\nG. Dun & Uo , with which the defendant\nWiman was connected, during the period\ncovering the act complained of, was formed\non January 1st, 1889, but Wiman had for\nmany years prior to that date had business\nrelations with Mr. Dun. Wiman was not a\npartner of Mr. Dun in the usual sense.\nUnder the articles of the association he had\nnn right, title or interest in the proper*y or\ngo .1 will of the busineai or profits thereof;\nfor while it was agreed that he should reserve a certain percentage of the I'rnfi'n, it\nwas sptcully provided tnat he should receive only suoh sum for salary, for faithful\nservice rendered, and that the amount of\nprofit should be the basis of determining the\namount of salary. It was also provided in\nthe articles of the association that he should\nnot employ tho name of R. G. Dun k Co.,\nexcepi in the regular aud proper business of\nthe said Mercantile Ageucy, and that he\nshould not use the name ot the said asaociation in issuing, miking, drawing, or endorsing any note, bill of exchange, draft, or\nother obligation, except only in endorsements of such papers for the acoount of the\naosooiation. His also had a right to sign\nfilm checks for firm purposes only. Wiman\nwas a salaried manager for Mr. Dun, with\nsuch po\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ois only as the contract gave him,\nwith additional power to draw\ncheoks. The property of R. G. Dun\nk Co., was not his property in any sense.\nThe moneys of R. G. Dun k Co. were not\nhis money in any sense and the profits of R.\nG. Dun k Co. not his profits and yet by\nvarious acts of embezzlement through misrepresentations, concealments, breaches of\nhis agreement, misuse of the powers with\nwhich he was trusted, he succeeded during\nthe years 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 1892, and\nup to February, 189.1, in stealing from Mr.\nDun the enormous sum of $229,018 :>0.\nThis sum he owes Mr. Dun today. In view\nof his relation to the property of Mr. Dun,\nwhich Wiman helped to manage under the\nname nf R. G. Dun k Co., he is guilty of\nthe crime of having embezzled the whole or\nthe grea!er part ot this sum.\nMr. I bin ouly timkes t*o specific charges\nin his complaint, though he sj*ys many more\ne u'd easilv be brought if desirable. \"In\nFebruary, 1893,\" ihe complaint says, \"R.\nG. Dun k Co. owed upwards of ten thousand dollars to E. W. Bulling*.i*, Esq., of\nthis city, for materials purchased on the\n6th of February, 1893. Wiman being in\nurgent straits for money, directed the\ncashier of R G. Dun k Co. to make out a\ncheck to the order of Mr. Bullinger, and\ninstead of transmitting it to him in part\npayment of his account, deliberately forged\nthe name of F. W. Bullinger on the baok of\nthe check, and deposited it to his own\ncredit in his owu bank. The account of\nBullinger on the books of the firm was\ndebited with that house in the usual course\nof time. These acts of Wiman were wholly\nwithout the knowledge of any member of\nthe firm, and since then they have paid to\nMr. Bullinger, the sum which Mr. Wiman\non the day named appropriated bj means of\nforgery to his use. On the 20ih du) if January 1893, it is further alleged, K. C Dun\nk Co., owed the Campbell Printing Press k\nMfg. Co , the sum of $5,580 fo* two printing\npresses purchased in May 1802. Wiman\npiicnret from the cashier of R. C. Dun &\nCo . Iieck to the order of Ogdeu Brower,\ntin.,*! tr (of the Campbell's,) on the pietext\nthat he desired to pay the accouui. Ho then\nwent to the Campbell Co. and telling t hem that\nR. G. Dun k Co. were short of funds, asked\nthem whether they would like notes for\ntheir account instead of cash. Ou Mr.\nBrower acquiescing io his* proposition, he\nmade two notescovering the amount in his\nown nameand delivered them to him. He then\nforged the name of Ogdeu Brower,t'easurer,\non the back of the check aud appropriated\nit to hie use. All of these fuels were concealed from the knowledge ot Mr. Dun, or\nany of his -asociates, but ihey subsiquently\npaid the Cumpbell Oompauy tbe amount of\ntheir acoount. Wiman a crimes were first\nBuspected in February 1893, but could not\nbe proven until uu examination of the firm's\nbooks was made, and this has only recently\nbeen competed. Mr Dun, however,\nput an end to their business relations a year ago, when his suspicions were\nfirst aroused. Ou learning that his crimes\nhad been detected, Wiman offered to transfer to Mr. Dun oertain real estate of Staten\nIsland to his account, of doubtful value,\nbut Mr. Dun refused to receive any preference over his other, creditors. Wiman,\ntherefore, made a formal assignment for the\nbenefit of his creditors, but his assets have\namounted to almost nothing. A feeling of\nsympathy for Wiman's family, au imperfect\nknowledge of tbe extent of his embezzlements and fears for his other creditors (s me\nof whom would be more seriously injured,\n(Continued on page two.) 2\nNANAIMO, B. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1894.\n(' ontinued from page one.)\nthougli not to ao large an extent, than Mr.\nDun), are the considerations Mr.\nDun gives for not bringing the matter\ninto court before. The compluint concludes\naa follows: \"In view of the foregoing facts,\nand npon the conviction that a man of\nWiman's bad character ought not longer to\nbe allowed to masquerade as an honest man\nin this community, and as an adviser and\nexhorter of youth, and out of a sense of\nobligation to the mercantile world, with\nwhich he iB so closely identified, he has\ndecided that his duty requires him to expose Wiman's conduct and to hand him\nover to the authorities, that he may be\ndealt with as the law directB.\" There was\nno signature to the complaint, but its authorship is credited to ex-District\nattorney Delancy Nicoll. The names of the\nwitnesses Bigned were R. D. Douglas, W.\nW. Bullinger, Ogden Brower, Treasurer\nCampbell Printing Press Co., and the\ncashier of R. G. Dun k Co. On being arraigned before Judge Martine, Mr. Wiman\nwas infoitried of the nature of the charges.\nHe was then asked whether he wonld furnish bail to-night. \"No sir,\" said Mr. Wi-\nman, \"I do not intend to.\" Judge Martine\nthen held him in $25,000 bail and he was\ncommitted to the Tombs prison. Before\ngoing to jail, Wiman sent a despatch to his\ncounsel, Benjamin F. Tracey.\nHarris Dun Wiman, a son of Erastus Wiman, was seen by the United Press reporter\nthis evening. He Baid thut upon hearing of\nhis father's arrest, he went immediately to\nthe Tombs, but as it was after the hour of\nlocking up the prieon, he was \"lily permitted to send in a note. He said: \"I received\n, message in reply, in which my father\nstaled that he was getting along all right.\nHe said that all was serene; that he was\nconscious of no guilt and has committed no\ncrime. If he had blundered, he is willing\nto stand the consequences. He said that\nseveral friends wanted to obtain bail for\nhim, but he declined to allow them to do so.\nHe also said that he haB an engagement to\ndeliver an address at Grammercy Hall in\nEast 42nd street to-morrow evening, and\nthat hs is going to make every effort to keep\nthe engagement..\" Mr. Wiman, jr., said\nthat he waB not sufficiently familiar with\nhiB father's affairs to attempt lo make a\nreply to the charges, but he believed his\nfather will be able to answer the charge of\nwrong doing satisfactorily.\nObjective Education.\nThe Nanaimo Free Press is wrestiing with\nthe Redistribution Bill, but instead of taking the census as a basis for its contentions\nit accepts the voters' lists as correct and\nthereon builds a very flnisy superstructure.\nThe voters' li ts do not cut any figure in\nthe matter, and the free Press should be\naware of that fact, for tbe very good reason\nthat they are euti. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ly inaccurate and misleading, many names being on the lists of\npersons who are dead, or who have been out\nof the country for years, whilst those of\nminors have been placed the eon as well as\nnumbers duplicated. To show Ihe fallacy\nof the contention of our contempory, it ia\nonly necessary to refer to the cities in the\neast, or in Great Britain, to show that the\ncity representation is placed at a higher per\ncapita ratio than is that of the rural municipalities. Take for instance Toronto with a\npopulation close upon 200,000 and a votora'\nlist of over 30,000; that city elects but three\nrepresentatives to the Local Legislature.\nSo it is with Hamilton, Linden and Ottawa,\nand a similar condition of affairs is to be\nfound in Montreal and Quebec and the\nMaritime Provinces.

Eustace saw that food wiu\ngiven her and had her comfortably seat\ned in an ambulance, then hastened the) t\nreturn to camp. To his great joy he\nlearned that Rose and Ralph had jnsl\narrived. Rose at onco assisted him to\nconvoy tho wretched woman to the hos\npital and placed her immediately under\nthe physician's care. The cold, hungei\nand exposure of tho last few days had\nmade fearful inroads upon her constitu\ntion. A fever was already upon her, and\nwhen tho excitement and danger of hei\nwanderings was over she 6auk under it,\naud there teemed little hope of her recovery.\nMany feya of hrnnlnwd dsoosr and\nB83A\nwaraea Dy any symptoms of convalescence, and then, though broken in spirit\nand weak as a child, her heart was apparently softened and ready to receive\nthe good seed.\nOne pleasant morning, when first able\nto converse, she unfolded the history of\nher course after leaving her father's\nhouse. It was a sad and painful story,\nhut unfortunately so common that it\nneeds no repetition. Le Barron's supposed wealth had been De Courtney's\nattraction, and the same mistaken idea\nof his high position, dignities and unbounded riches had lured her on to that\nfatal step. Love had had no voice' in\nthis wicked compact. Not until they\nreached Paris and his draft on Le Barron camo back protested did the fortune\nhunter learn the deceit that she had\npracticed upon him.\nThe stormy scene that might have been\nexpected ensued, and tljen De Courtney\ninformed her that their marriage was all\na sham, and that his wealth and titles\nwere equally fictitious. Thus deserted\nby the man with whom she had fled,\nnot for love, but for selfish ambitions,\nand left to bear her troubles and disappointments as best she might, her fall\nwas rapid. The money and jewelry she\nhad so wickedly purloined from mother\nand sister that terrible night she had\ncarefully concealed from De Courtney.\nFor a short time it enabled her to lead a\ngay life, but with no protector in Paris\nher associations must of course have been\nof a class that opened the door to every\nkind of temptation, until at last she sank\ninto abject ignominy und dishoner. In\nthis condition Eustace saw aad rescued\nher from the lowest depths ot degradation.\nAnd now, though she rallied for a few\nweeks, her days were numbered. The\nphysician from the first gave no encouragement of recovery, and after a short period of comparative ease a speedy termination of her ill spent life was certain.\nWhen first compelled to realizo her precarious situation, she was overwhelmed\nwith terror and despair. The chaplain\nvisited her daily. Under his unwearied\nteachings and Rose's gentle ministrations\nthe darkness was gradually dispelled, and\nthe hope that she. the most guilty, might\nfind mercy through that atonement so\nfreely offered to all, even the chief of\nsinners, began to comfort her.\nAs this hope brightened her heart\nyearned after friends and kindred. She\nhad only heard vague reports of her\nfather's death and was entirely ignorant\nof the condition of the other members of\nher family. It was a great trial to be\ncalled upon to reveal to the poor sufferer\nall the sorrow and shame that had overwhelmed her former home, but after her\nheart, so long cold and hard, was brought\ninto a better state she would not rest -until she had heard every particular. Her\ngratitude for the kindness that had\nshielded Robbie and Jennie from temptation was very touching, but Maud's\nperilous situation weighed keenly upon\nher mind. Feeling thut her own reckless and unprincipled conduct from earliest childhood had led her sister into by\nand forbidden paths, which had now so\nblasted her life if not ruined her soul,\nshe begged Eustace to seek out Maud\nand beseech her by her dying sister's example to seek the better life.\nThe Newtons, after leaving the city,\nhad vary little opportunity to hear of\nMaud's life. From the first she had\nsteadfastly refused to see her little brother and Bister and was even unwilling to\nreceive any message from them, preferring, she said, that all memory of theii\nfather's family should die out of their\nyoung minds.\nThey now felt it important to see Maud.\nif possible, while Eustace was with them,\nand therefore, acting at once in accordance with their views of duty, Mr. and\nMrs. Newton, accompanied by Eustace\nand Lillian, wont next day to the city.\nThey barred from a friend that after\ntwo years of strifo and bitterness, death\nhad at last separated this miserable pair.\nMr. Varney had been dead but a short\ntime. At his marriage ho settled a liberal sum upon his young wife and then\nmade a will leaving her solo possessor of\nall his wealth at his death. Hiul she\ntreated the foolish old man with even\ncommon kindness he was so infatuated\nwith her beauty he would have made no\nchange. But though she had sold herself and bartered all her hopes of happiness for riches she could not sufficiently\ncontrol her loathing and contempt to secure that for which she had risked so\nmuch.\nWith his violent temper It took but a\nfew short weeks to open her husband's\neyes to bis folly and to destroy all affection for and pride in her, and so his\nmaudlin love turned to tho bitterest hate.\nIn his dotage he had become like some\nfieree animal in his anger, and her lift-\nwas wretched past description. His\ncruelty she met by biting taunts and the\nmost exasperating language till at\nlength she so outraged him that for her\nown safety she left the house and went\nto reside at some fashionable resort.\nMr. Varney had long been falling, and\nwhen the excitement of her presence was\nover he sank rapidly. One of his las*\nacts was to destroy the old will and inakt\na new one, by which he deprived her of\neverything but what she could legally\nclaim. So when summoned to bia dying\nbed it was to find that the palatial home\nwith its royal furnishings, the spacious\ngrounds and splendid equipages had\n< BS CON-TINTED.\nFIRST-Cl^SS\nTO OEDBR\nAT J.
