WILLIAM Z-IGLER DEAD.

Drownrd Fr»:ii 11 Yarlit \Vhi!o oil (k Cruise Ofl" Florida. Bnc-oiiLYN, April 3.—A report has just leached here that William Zeigler, well known throughout this cuntry, had been drowned from his yacht "Robinson Crusoe," while on a cruise off Florida. Mr. Zeigler, in company with William H. Flagler of Standard oil fame, left for Florida on March 10, last. Judge Gaynor of this city had been invited to make one of the party, but owing to his having to appear before the Friday investigating committee, he was unable to go.

The particulars received here in regard to the reported accident were very meager, and efforts made to confirm the report, both in this city and in New York, where Mr. Zeigler has resided for some time, were without avail. The report, however, was generally credited.

William Zeigler was born at Muscatine, la., about 52 years ago. He organized the Royal Baking Powder company with a capital of $(30,000. Some years later a dispute arose among the partners in regard to his interest in the concern. The case was taken to the courts, and Zeigler was sustained in his contention as to his share. He afterward sold his share to the other members of the company for $4,000,000. He invested largely in real estate in this city, and later organized the Cream Powder company of New Jersey, and also the Price Baking Powder company of Chicago.

For a time he was largely interested in politics in this city, and in 1891 he was nominated as the Republican candidate for mayor of Brooklyn. He refused, however, to accept the nomination and Henry A. Myer was substituted, he being defeated by David A. Boody. Shortly before that time a scheme had been floated whereby it was intended to dispose of the Long Island water supply system to the city of Brooklyn .f 1,200,000. The present Judge Gaynor at once placed himself in opposition to this and induced Zeigler to act as the principal in bringing the matter to an investigation. They were successful "in this fight and the svslem was finally disposed of for $-1*0,000.

Mr. Zeigler was an owner in the Brooklyn Eagle, holding a considerable amount of stock in that paper. He was a widower and had no children.

It was stated here last night that John J. Wells, who had lived for many years at the Mansion House, Brooklyn, had also accompanied Mr. Zeigler and Mr. Flagler on their trip to Florida.

AN EDITOR'S WORK ENDED.,

Uavid M. Stone Dies at Ills lirooklyn Home. NEW YORK. April 3.—David M. Stone,

who, for -1-1 years was editor of the New York Journal of Commerce, died last night- at his home in Brooklyn. His death resulted from a complication of heart troubles, after an illness of about a, month.

David Marvin Stone was born in Oxford, ('0:111., Dec. 23, 1X17. In December. '-tO, lie became commercial editor of the New York .Journal of Commerce, and in JKI5] he succeeded William B. Prime as editor-in-chief, which position he held until a year or two ago, when he retired. He was president of the New York Ass,iei ev.i press for 25 years. In his younger days he wrote for magazines. Several of his published works have passed through a number of edit ions.

Mr. Stone's opinions on commercial and other matters in his famous "Answers io Correspond' r.." were regarded as an authority by merchants throughout the coii'mtv, and it was chiefly through these that ho gained worldwide remit.ii ion.

iu Co!iiiiibus. I

CuiA'Miu'S, O., April :j.—Mrs. W. H. I B. Williains, who niurdered two of her children at the Pari hotel -Uoiiday, was iirrai.:riied in ])olie« coiu't. yesterday afteriioon on two charges of murder in the lir.- degree. The aceuscd waived exaniinatioii and was ordered held with-out-isoiid to await tlie action of the grand jnry. She was at onc.o akiui to tin county jail.

Mr. 'Williams, who was under arrest, was released by order of thu coroner and the little daughter, Annie, was placed in the care of Airs. .John C. Lester, a friend of the family, to whose home Mrs. Williams went after committing the crime.

Mrs. Williams seems to have entertained the most bitter enmity toward her husband, and says the only reason sin can give for murdering her children is that she did not want them to sun at the hands of their father as she luu suffered.

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.

How a .Murder Was Revealed and Two jtlon Convicted of tlie Crime. Santa Fh, April ii.—Jesus Vilpraudo

and Felicano Chavez have been found guilty of murder in the first degree. Jan. 20 they were eaugiit by Thomas Martinez in the act of stealing and killing his father's cattle in South Santa Fe county. They invited Martinez into a corral, where they shot him, placed the body across a tire and burned it, nothing remaining but a few bones und one foot encased in a rubber shoe.

During the trial a young man named Angel, in his testimony, said that he saw distinctly the outlines of the murdered man's form lying in the ashes. The form seemed impalable, .but perfectly distinct and in bold relirf. When cross-questioned the young man could not be shaken in his description of this singular phenomenon. His testimony was most dramatic aud caused a profound sensation of awe and wonder in the courtroom.
