last summer was begun in the Criminal
Court Thursday. The trial itself did not re-
veal much, II anything, not already known
TO the public But that there is large

sci for the prosecution and half-dozen
doctors and expert chemists know. II was
thought that the witness through whom
this mine is TO be exploded would be on the
stand, but this feature was finally post
poned. Capt Hunt, analytical chemist has
been engaged for some time. at the in

for poisons in the remains of several
Homestead workmen who had died. OF

the results of his examin alton. but IT was
learned from an authoritative source that
arsenic In considerable quantities was
found in one stomach at least. traces OF
croton oil In another, and traces of arsenic
and other mineral poisons in other bodies

it moderated only slightly, but even then
it was superlatively frigid and the wooden

The pause in business, incident to the
holidays, seems TO last longer this year
than usual, but severe weather has given
a powerful stimulus to trade in heavy boots
and shoes and woolens and preparations
for the spring business are going on active
ly and with the utmost confidence. In
spite OF reports that more gold will go
abroad. and in spite of uncertainties re-
garding legislation on the money question,
the business world seems inclined to be-
lieve that there will be no serious financial
embarrassment. especially as the average
of commercial Indebtedness is remarkably
low and failures have been comparatively
unimportant No interruption OF indus
trial activity is seen. though iron is some
what more depressed. but in other import
ant branches a distinct Improvement is
