A new system of handling freight
trains went in vogue on the c., b. &
z. Monday. Hereafter trains will
be made up by tonnage instead of
the number of cars. 1t is thought
that this will be more satisfactory
method for hauling. and the change
is made at the instance of the me-
chanical department. More work
will be gotten out of the locomotives.
The ratings of trains vary on the diff
ferent branches and with different
classes OF locomotives. but all will
be graded according to tonnage.
Conductors will be furnished with
the various ratings as guide in
making up trains.

Analysed.

The cause of the death of Brice NJ. Car
ter the contractor of 434 Central avenue.
still remains unknown. 1t will take a week
or ten days to complete the analysis of
the stomach and its contents. Yesterday
Dr. S. Z. Crosse reported 10 Coroner Castor
regarding the contents of the phial which
Mrs. Carter produced after her husbands
death. The examination showed that the
phial contained over hundred grains
OF white arsenic which filled about one
half of the phial
Mrs. Carter has contended ali the time
that her husband was poisoned. and when
Coroner Castor was called in to hold
investigation she produced the phial with
its contents, saying she found it i'm a cup
board. The discovery. she said, was made
several months ago. after her husband had
a spell of sickness, which she then thought
due to poison. Mrs Carter says she has
carried the phial with her ever since, fear
ing TO leave it lie around the house. The
phial has the indication of having been
handled great DEAL There are two or
three corks in it. which have been re-
moved frequently. There is no label on
the phial indicating where 1t came from,
and the coroner says arsenic does not come
in such phials. The same phial and its
contents were taken to DIR. Galloway by
Mrs. Carter several weeks ago. He was
asked TO tell what the nature of the powder
was. and he replied that he could not tell
without making an analysis. Mrs. Carter
replied she would take the powder home
and try it on chicken. DIR. Galloway said
that would be a good way TO test II. Mrs.
Carter afterward said to DR.. Galloway that
she had given some of the powder to a
chicken and the stuff killed the bird
Mrs. Carter has feared poison for nearly
two years and the neighbors say the SUBJ
ject has been frequent topic of CONVEX
sation with her. 1t is recalled that she
asked a grand jury investigation, while
picions that the well had been poisoned

From Plenty to PERJURY

WAYNE, Mich, Dec. 31.-In a
dilapidated old hut, not fit for a
dog, lies an old man named Jack
Mcdonald, so i'll that he can not
help himself nor live the night
out. A few years ago Mcdonald
was wealthy and was one OF P. L.
Barnum's right hand men in the
circus business. During a visit of
the circus to Detroit he met and
became infatuated with a pretty
girl. Forsaking the circus, he fol.
lowed her and lived as near her as
he could. He became crazy when
she Tilted him and spent all his
money. Ten years ago he went to
live in the old hut, getting what
chores he could.

Gotham is Hus.Iing for Il.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-New
York is apparently much more in
earnest about the democratic con-
vention than her representatives
were over the location of the re-
publican convention. The New
Workers have already put in appli-
cation for the big parlor adjacent
to the banquet room Of the Airing
ton, where the committee will
meet. This is the headquarters
the st. Louis delegation occupied
at the time of the republican COM
mittee meeting. The New York
delegation, which is coming here
next month, will include Perry
Belmont, ex-Gov. Flower and other
democratic leaders. There is
ground for the statement that
Senator German favors New York
for the democratic convention and
that he will lend his influence to-
ward the selection of that city, "if
assured that New York is in earn
est in wishing it,"

the city from tearing up the San

lay the sewers in the middle of the

the storm water would soon flood

to do so, lay the sewers in the gut

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Grand tonight: Denman
Thompson's charming pastoral
idyl, "The Old Homestead" That
this play is destined to live many
years after its author has been
gathered unto his fathers, is con-
clusively shown when, year af-

ments attract larger audiences
than its previous ones, and
Uncle Joshua Whitcombs ever
increasing circle of friends is
being constantly recruited from
among the boys and girls today
who in his rugged manhood and
sterling worth see traits of charac-
ter which they not only admire,
but in many instances seek to en-
ulate.
THURSDAY MATINEE AND NIGHT.
Theatre goers in this city, who
are lovers of good musical farce
comedy, have a rare treat in store
for them. Donnelly and Girard,
whose success in their new comedy
"The Rainmakers" has been the
event of the theatrical season in
New York, will be seen in this
city at the Grand, and will
present the comedy in its en-
tirety, just as it was given during
its phenomenally successful run
in the metropolis. The original
company, all of the scenery, cleo
trical and mechanical effects,
with it is possible to conceive
will be presented.
The comedy itself is one of those
happy skits that go with vim
from start to finish-full of sur
prises, unusual mechanical and
electrical effects, bright and bril-
liant music, and embodying such
an amount of fun that laughter is
incessant from the rise to the fall
of the curtain.
