A POINT IN THE MoLINEUx CASE.

I
The whole country is interested in the
MoIneux murder TT al now goir on he
city of New York. II is Ger ain 20 re one
Of the most remarkable criminal triafs ma
have occurred in Ibis country. 1t has many
Interesting fea IS. one IS that all OF the
evidence against the accus d is T UNI
antiaI, and another is thai The verdict in
the case may not turn on the evidence, but
on the law.
Molineux is indicted for poisoning an
elderly woman named Adams. He did rot
know the woman. lie never saw her. lie
had no intenton OF poisoning er. He hated
a man named Cornish. This man Cornish
lived in the house hat Mrs. Adams did.
The accused. 4iol.neux, it is asserted, sent
to Cornish, as Chris mas pres Mt.
headache powder. A few days after Cor
nish mad received the powder, and before
he had sampled it, Mrs. Adams comp ain
ed of a headache. Corn sh prepared dose
Of he headache powder or her she d ank
it. and was dead in an hour. Cornish took
little of # out of the cup in which he
had mixed the dose he gave 10 Mrs. Adams
and he came n. ar losing his fe. The poi
son was one little known, and very dead
ly. 1t was cyanide of mercury.
Now the question is, does The common
law rule Apply in the case against Mo in
eux-the rule that holds person who
commits felonious act responsible for all
of the consequences of that at, although
some Of the consequences he may not have
intended? II seems that here is a great
difference of opinion among the lawyers
Of the New York bar on this question.
Some hOld that The comm n law rule does
not ply, because of the fact that a very
considerable time elapsed between the
sending of the POI on, assuming that Moll-
neux sent it, ard the lax ng OF ,he deadly
desc by Mrs. Adams. Ii seems that there
is no decision which exactly covers this
case. In al the reported cases the conse-
quences VIII CHI were not intended followed
Immediately the commission of The felon-
ious act.
There viii, in all probability, be a great
argument on the question as to whether
the common law rue applies in this case
when the court is ready TO charge ths jury
1t is probable, however, that The trial
judge viii hold that the common law rule
does apply. end then the case win be taken
10 the higher courts, in the event of he

"It was during Clevelands administra-
ton that the following incident happen
ed" writes one of our correspondents, &C
cording to the Chicago Tribune. "A friend
of mine was offered the appointment of
minister abroad. He was engaged to a
beautiful girl. She asked him not to ac-
cept the appointment, and he promised
her he would not if he could decline grace
fully, but the President had rendered him
the place beca use of his familiarity with
matters in the country in which the Presi-
dent was interested.
when he told Mr.. Cleveland that his
fiancee objected to his accepting the honor
the President laughed and asked him
where his sweetheart was. She was in
Washington at the time. Mr.. Cleveland
said TO the young man: Bring her to the
White House, l would like to see her
"She went. The President failed to per-
suade her to consent. Then he asked her
bluntly: What if I send him anyhow?
Then 1 shall break the enga cement, ,
she said in haughy manner.
You must not do that, said the Presi-
dent, and then added: Very well, he
won't CO..
My friend, who had been in public

only instance in his knowledge of a Presi-
dent consulting with a woman about his
appointment of a man.

THE COMPLAINT OF THE RAIL
HOLDS

There is much truth in the complaint
which railroad men make that there Is
not much in the better times for railroads
This complaint applies particularly TO this
section of the country. There has been
some little Improvement In railroad bust
ness since the better times began, but the
earnings of the roads, owing to the short
ness of the cotton crop, are now falling
below what they were at this time last
year. The gross earnings of the Central
OF Georgia. for instance, have not been
nearly so large this fall as they were
last, Notwithstanding the fact that there
has been greater activity in naval stores
and lumber. The cotton receipts at the
ports are much below what they were
last year at this time, and that accounts
for the decrease in the earnings of the
Central
But the prices of all kinds of railroad
supplies have increased all the way from
80 to 100 per cent. II is evident that with
greater operating expenses and less gross
receipts the prospect of dividends on secu-
rites which get dividends only when they
are earned becomes more remote.
Mr.. Egan, the vice president of the Cen
trail, thinks that the railroads in this sec
ton ought to be permitted to increase
rates 1t seems they have announced
their intention to increase the rates on
coal. Whether their action will meet with
the approval of the Railroad Commission
or not is question that is yet to be de-
termined. 1t is probable, however, that
the commission will give the claim of
the roads, that In view Of the higher
prices of railroad supplies, as well as of
many of the products which constitute the
freights of the roads, rates should be
higher, reasonable consideration. 1t is
certain that the roads will not be able to
meet their fixed charges. together with the
increase in their tax burdens unless they
are permitted slight advance in rates
on some classes of freights or reduce
their expenses for labor. 1t is certain that
labor, in this time of rising prices, is not
likely to receive an announcement of re-
duction in wages with favor

NOT cHARGEABLE TO THE SOUTH

The horrible tragedy at Maysville KY.
an account of which appeared in our dis
patches yesterday. cannot be properly
charged to the account of the South. Ken
lucky is more of a Western than a South
ern state. The tragedy surpassed in hor-
ror, in some particulars, the one of a sim
liar charter at Tyler, Tex, which oc-
Cured a few years ago. and the one that
recently occurred at Newman in this state.
There is no doubt that the victim of the
mob's fury richly deserved his fate. His
crimes were of the most heinous character.
Still, great as his crimes We're the law
should have been permitted to take its
course. Lynch law is only productive of
harm to the community in which it is adj
ministered. Lynch law of the kind that
was administered at MaysvIlle is produc-
tive of evils that remain a long time to
plague those brought within the sphere of
their influence.
One of the New York papers, comment
ing on the attempt at lynching a negro
near the state capitol of New Jersey
few days ago, said that it would give
Southern papers an opportunity to say
that the lynching of negroes was not con-
fined to the South. We do not know that
any of the Southern papers commented on
the New Jersey case in the way this
Northern paper thought they would, but
if they did they were justified in doing so.
Let negroes commit crimes in the North
like those for which they are lyuched in
the South and there will be as many
lynchings of negroes in the North as there
are in the South. Human nature in one
part of this country is just about what
1t is in other parts. There is no more
willingness in the North to respect the law
in the cases of criminals who have COM
mitted certain heiuous offenses than there
is in the South. There is no more regard
for the negro in the North than there is
in the South. In fact not as much.
We have nothing but condemnation for
such a tragedy as that at Maysville, KY.
At the same time we can understand the
feelings of those who were members of
the family with which the victim of the
negro who was lynched was connected.
Their desire was for vengeance. Many Of
those who assisted them were influenced
probably by the fear that If a terrible ex-
ample was not made in this case there
would be other women victims of negro
criminals.

The Mayor and aldermen seem to think
that injustice was done them in an arti-
Gle which appeared in the Morning News
Yesterday, in which the City Councils ac-
ton, in opposing the amendment which
Mr. Lester is trying 10 obtain TO his White
Bluff road charter was commented on
There was no intention TO attribute i'm
proper motives to the Council in opposing
the amendment The criticism was based
on the impression that there was proba-
bly, hostility to Mr. Lester on account Of
Inc price which he placed on that part or
the White Bluff road which is now includ-
ed in Bull street. and the readiness which
Council seemed to show 10 prevent the
building of an electric line from the city
to White Bluff. This opposition seemed 10
favor the street railway that has control
of the electric lines of the city. 1t aD-
pears, however, as explained by the Mayor
that the Council has no objection to an
electric line from the city to White Bluff,
provided IL does not occupy the driveway
OF the White Bluff road. II is pointed out
by the Mayor that the proposed amend
ment would permit a track for an cleo
tric road to be laid in the middle of the
driveway. 1t is said that Mr.. Lester had
no intention of having the driveway of
the White Bluff Road so occupied. There
