GARDENERS HANDS WEAK,
but He Got the Decision Over Hamil-
ton i'm Twenty-Five Rounds.

NEW YORK, Nov. H.-Oscar Gardner,
the Omaha Kid, got the decision after a
twenty-fve-round bout, at 124 pounds, from
Jack Hamilton, of Troy, n. V, tonight at
the Broadway Athletic Club. The victor
was not the Gardner of year ago. Hamil-
ton at all times was more forcibe and had
the greater weight behind his blows Gard
ner was the cleaner-cut in delivery and eX
ecution, but from the start it was palpable
that he was suffering from the old COM
plant of weak hands. Both wrists went
back him from the very beginning and
at the finish they were very weak. During
the first twelve rounds the fighting was of
the give-and-take order with honors slight
ly in favor of Gardner In the third and
sixth Gardner slipped to the floor, but
neither time was his slipping due TO a blow
from his adversary. In the seventh Gard
ner sent some straight lefts to the face, one
Gardner's left optic was injured in the OPEN
ing round. In the beginning of the thir-
teenth honors were evenly divided In this
hand p shove 5y from Hamilton M 1aT put u Gardner se
down, but the Western lad recovered his
feet very quickly and showed to good ad-
vantage to the bell. From this TO the eight
eenth round honors Were even. Gardner's
head work and lodging left and right leads
was extremely clever. Both landed forceful
blows on each others ribs and wind and
there was very little to choose between
them. At the close of the eighteenth Ham,
ilton forced the fighting and had Gardner
left swings when the bell rang. The nine
teenth was Hamilton's round. He got to
body and head with both hands, and in the
mx-up Gardner slipped 10 his knees. In the
twenty-first round Gardner kept up a con-
tinuous jabbing, which stalled off the fire.
style of defense up to the end of the twenty
third, when he retired to his corner in a
very weakened condition. Hamilton made a
rapid rally in the twenty-fourth and rushed
Gardner around the ring, swinging with
both hands for body and head but Gard
ner'S clever ducking evaded many of these
blows and he got in several good counters
In the final round Hamilton went in with
renewed energy, in order to score some
thing decisive, but Gardner was on the alert
and blocked and countered beautifully until
the bell rang. The referees decision was
accepted gracefully by the spectators.

R. B. MOLINEUX ON TRIAL
NEW YORKER WHO FIGURED IN A
SENSATIONAL POISONING CASE.
Charged with Causing the Death of
Mrs. IL. j. Adnms-NCt One Juror
Secured Yesterday.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1-Roland B. Moli-
neux was put on trial for his life to-day in
the Court Of General Sessions before Re-
corder Goff, charged with the death of Mrs.
Katharine j. Adams, on Dec. %, 1898 Mrs.
Adams died after swallowing what was be-
lieved to be a headache powder that had
been sent through the mail in silver match
holder as a Christmas present to Harry
Cornish physical director of the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club, and by him admins
tered to Mrs. Adams with whom he resided.
A chemical ANALYSIS developed the fact that
the powder contained a deadly combination
of cynaide of mercury.
The investigation which followed resulted
in developing that Henry c. Barnet, another
prominent member of the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club, who had recently died. had
received n similar powder, and that it con-
tanned cyanide of mercury also. Roland b.
MolneuX was among the witnesses put on
the stand at the coroner's inquest, at which
the testimony went to show that Molineux
bore enmity toward both Cornish and Bar
net He was arrested after considerable
delay and has been in the TombS ever since.
Three grand jurieS considered his case and
the third brought in the present indictment
against him, Both sides have fought bitter
ly ever since Molineuxs arrest, and to-day.
after several hours were occupied in an at
tempt to select a jury, not one man had
been found suitable to occupy chair in
the jury box.
When the case was called this morning
Barlow 5. Weeks, counsel for MolineuX,
made final and desperate effort to have it
transferred to the Supreme Court, but the
recorder ordered the trial to proceed. Mr..
Weeks also made a lengthy argument on a
motion to dismiss the Indictment, but Re-
corder Goff several times told him his talk
was trivial and that he was wasting words.
MolineuxS father, General MolineuX, sat
beside him throughout the day. Harry Cor
nish was present and the courtroom was
crowded with people. The prisoner displayed
the same air of confidence that has marked
every public appearance of his since his ar
rest, and after adjournment he was per-
mtted TO remain in the courtroom for some
time, where he talked pleasantly with his
counsel and court attendants. The case will
be continued to-mOrrow.

Broom ManufacturersA Advance Prices
More than 100 Per Cent.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE price of brooms
has been advanced nearly 80 per cent. This
action was decided upon at a meeting Of
the National Broom Manufacturers of the
United States and Canada held here to-
day. The advance is made necessary, the
members says, by the advance broom corn
has made during the present year. During
the past few months most of the available
supply of broom corn has been taken by the
Union Broom Supply Company, of Chicago,
with the result that the price has gone
from about $50 to over 500 per ton. Broom
makers have been selling their product at
prices ranging from $1.2 TO 50 per dozen,
according to the quality. The advance
made yesterday brings the poorest quality
to the price formerly paid for the best-S3-
and the better qualities are advanced pro-
portionately.
The broom manufacturers say they have
been losing money steadily for a number
of months. The price of broom handles and
wire has been more than doubled, in the
latter case almost trebled, and il was i'm
possible for the manufacturers of brOoms
TO realize any profits. The meeting ad-
jOurned until Jan. 4, 1900.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. H-Hon A. B.
Cummins. Iowa member of the Republican
national committee, in interview to-day
in regard to an effort TO change the basis
OF representation in the national convention.
said he favored change to representation
according to votes cast for Republican presi-
Dental candidates. and not according to

ship TO Republicans of the South. who need
encouragement, but he sees no reason why
they should be able TO control more strength

would ordinarily allow. He realizes how
