New York, Feb. 22.—Erastus Wiinan, the well-known capitalist aud railroad magnate, was arrested on a benoh warrant Wednesday ufternoon on two charges of forgery. He was brought into the jndge's chambers in the general sessions building at o'clock and in default of $25,000 bail was committed to the tombs by Judgo Mai'tiu.

The arrest was made at tho instance of Dolancey Nlcol, formerly district attorney, who submitted a long statement to District Attorney Fellows accusing Wiman of embezzlement and forgery. This statement was submitted with other evidence to the grand jury, which body immediately returned an indictment, A warrant was at once issued and the arrest made.

The ludlctmetits.

Two indictments were found against Mr. Wiinan by the grand jury. Tliey are for forging and uttering forged checks. Each indictment contains two counts. The total amount involved iu Mr. Wiman's alleged forgeries is 8229,000. The complaintant against him Is R. 3. Dun, president of the Mercantile Agency association, of 314 Broadway.

Mr. Willisin'n Arrest.

The news that

Ek.^Ius

Wiman had

been arrcsied on a serious charge fell like a thunderbolt on tho multitude of people who heard the story and no one apparently was more surprised than Sir. Wiman himself. Since severing his connection with the R. Q. Dun agency Mr. Wiman has occupied a pleasantly furnished office in the Field building at 1 Broadwaj'. He was engaged at fiis desk Wednesday afternoon when Detective Sergeants Evilly and Von Gericliten walked in. They had a bench warrant for his arrest, which was already prepared when the grand jury an hour earlier had found two indictments against the exking of Stateu Island for forgery. Detective Reilly approached Mr. Wiman's desk: and said: "You are under arrest." Wiinan scarcely even glanced up. He turned very pale and mentioned tlie detectives not to alarm tho clerks, This was about 8 o'clock. Mr. W'imnn was asked to accompany tho detectives to the district attorney's office.- He put on his coat without a word and went with them.

No sooner were they beyond the ears of the olerks than Mr. Wiman anxiously inquired the specifications against him aud the nature of the punishment attached to each. "Don't let this be made public,' he said, and then asked: "What. Is the penalty for forgery?"

I'luc-etf lu a Celt.

He was put In a cell in one ol the regular sections of the prison, acd later positively refused to see newspaper men. Gen. Traey, his counsel, called at the tombs about 0 o'clock and was in consultation with his client for nearly an hour.

When asked about tho possibility of Mr. Wiman securing bail Mr. Tracy replied: "He will have lo stay iu the tombs until Friday. Thursday Is a holiday, and I don't think wo can get bail until the next day. We will have it Frldcy, though, and Mr. Wiman will be released. That is all."

Forged Cbeclc Iudorsetueutx. One of the charges against Wiman is for forgery of an indorsement of E. W. Bullinger to a check for 85.000 which was drawn to Bullinger's order by R. G. Dun & Co. Tlio other charge Is for forging the indorsement of Ogden Brower to a check, also drawn by R. G. Dun & Co., for 85,580. The checks were forged respectively on January 20, 1803. and February 0, 1S98.

The counts in the indictments relate to forgery and tho uttering of forged checks which were drawn on the Second national bank, where Wiman had no account. Tho offense is punishable with not more than ton years for each of the indictments.

The first intimation of any oharges against Wiman was in the form of a letter received at the district attorney's office February 15. This letter, as given out, is said to have come from Mr. Dun's attornei', who Is supposed to bo ex-District Attorney Delancy Nicoli The witnesses who were brought before the grand jury were R. D. Douglas, E. W, Bullinger, Ogden Brower and tho cashier of R. U. Dun & Co.

The News Roaches lVlman'i Homo. The news was not long in reaching the home of Mr. Wiman, which is situated at Tompkins avenue, or as it is better known, tho "Jpper Terrace, St. George, Stateu Island. When sho heard of the arrest, Mrs. Wiman, although shocked, bore up with greater calmness than,was expected. This was due to her implicit belief in the thorough honesty of her husband and her confidence in his ability to prove his Innocence.

As soon as word had1 been received of the arrest Mr. Harris Wiman camo to New Y'ork fromStaten Island and went to the tombs, carrying a small satchol with change of linen for his father. The night keeper of the prison received the sutchel and consented to take a note from the young iriau to Mr. Wiman. In this note young Mr. Wiman asked his father if he wished anything done and if he cared to make anj' statements.

Say* He la Guiltless.

In reply to this message Mr. Wiman wrote to his son that he was both cheerful and welli that he had committed no crimes, but had no doubt blundered and that he was willing to stand tho consequences. Ho added he had absolutely refused to accept ball although it was offered him by his friends.

The young man was not permitted to see his father aud had to be content with this correspondence. It may bo

MICHIGAN'S SHAME.

Wltuexses Involve A&any State Oflloliil* In the Election Fraud*. Lanking, Mich., Feb. 22.—Wednesday was the 11aId day of the grand jury investigation so far as the examinutiou of witnesses is concerned, nineteen having bsen sworn. They furnished many a missing link iu Unchain of evidence that hua been drawn around more than one individual of prominence in state affairs. A majority of Wednesday's witnesses were department 'clerks and employes whose evidence went far toward establishing the fact that in many offices tlio returns on the salary amendment of 1803 were tabulated as fast as received, so that many pet-sons were informed from day lo day just how the vote stood, thus precluding the possibility of tho changes iu the ofHeial canvass being due to unintentional or clerical errors.

Prosecutor Gardner said Wednesday that tho revelations of the last two days were astounding, and ho believed they have rendered certain the indictment of certaiu Btate officials whose implication in the frauds at tho beginning of this week were far from being established to tho satisfaction of the jury.

Postmabter Healy and other important witnesses, whose identity the prosecution will not disclose, will testify, and wh'le Attorney General Ellis will not be subpeonaed, he will be informed that the jury will listen to whatever statement ho sees fit to make. It is doubtful if he accepts the invitation. The jury will vote indictments Saturday and close its labors that night.

Nitw YOKK, Feb. 22.—The fcteamer City of Para, having on board the officers and crew of the famoua old warship Kearsarffe, which now lies on a coral tthoal called ftoncador feef, where she ran on February 2, arrived off Quarantine from Colon. Aa the City of Pava reached Quarantine she was boarded by Dr. Jenkins, tho health officer, who, with a representative of the Associated Press, was the flrst to extend congratulations to the offioeiv* of the Kearsarge. The voyayo from Colon tvas a pleasaut one. The City of Para arrived at the Pacific Mall dock shortly after noon.- The dook was ffayly decorated with flajrs, and over theffanff-plank was spread a huge American flajf in honor of the officers and crew of tho Kearsarg*e. A larpre crowd of the friends and relations of the naval men of tho Kearsarg'e wore on the pior of the Pacific mail line to prreet the wrecked men, while a still larger crowd surged on tlie street, all craning their nocks for a view of the sailors.

Srory of the Wrouk.

Acting- Admiral Oscar F. Stanton, who was first seen by the Associated Presa representative, gave the following account of tho wreck of his fluffship: "The aoclrtmit. oocurreil about 2 o'clock ou tho afteruonn of February 2. A stiff norltoeaat fresh trade wind was Wowhi?, and there was a considerable surf. The Kearsurge struck rather liehily at first, and then there was a heavy jar and a crash, when the i?Mp went up high aud dry ou tho reef. We remained on board the Itearsarge that utpht and wero lukeu ashore the next day. The City of Para did not oome until Saturday, February 10, about a week from the time we went ashore on Ronoador island. All hands were taken off the Kear.*arge or. the Catamaran boat, after working all night In order to get thlugs ready for our departure from uur Rhlp. We epnt the Catamaran boat ashore about daybreak.

Life of the Shipwrecked Crew. "After we reached the shore we gathered together some old sails, awnings and duok, with which we rigged up a tent to shelter

The weather was quite worm

though to make snch a tent sufllciently comfortable. To Increase the small supply of water we were enabled to carry with us from the Kearaartro wo dug a well We also had what provisions we could save from the ship. We had built rafts during the night- and early Saturday morning, In order to transport what things we could take sway from the ship, together with eight duyg' supply of water, which permitted a supply of one pint a day for each man There was no excitement, no panic, but everybody was cool-headed and tho officers aud orew all united in an effort to make the beat of the altuatlou.

One Man Lost.

'•Anderson Bobbins, one of the men, was drowned shortly after tho wreok. The ship was rapidly filling with water and Bobbins was swimming for the reef, but he could not mako it and was drowned. This oo* curred the day wo landed. When we discovered Flroman Anderson Kobblns struggling iu the water, wo dispatched a lieutenant and seven men iu a life-boat to his assistance, and made every effort, to save hitn, hut he sunk before we could reach bfrn. "Everyone ?:hy was aboa.d the Kearsurge. both officers and men, are with mo to-day, with the exceptlou of Dr. Hamura, ho was detached to the coast survey steamer Hunger at Acajutla, and Fireman Robhins. There are twenty one officers and 1?! men, making up 202 In all, and \v« are all well.

A Total Loss.

in answer to a question as to the po»sibility of raising and saving the Koarsarge, Admiral Stanton said: "There is no possible chance of saving her. She was all stove in when she struck tho reef and when we left her sho was almost full of water. Even If this were not the cane, the weather Ir such down there ihnt tt Is very difficult to work on account of the intense heat nnd blistering sun." doing to Pieces,

These galleries, which are built at gi-eat expense, are of enormous strength ana constructed in such a way aa to carry the snow over the road and down the mountain sides. Gal lerles .have generally been sufficient for this purpose, but In the late storm resistless avalanches crushed them like eggshells, causing a complete blookede of the lines.
