ON TRIAL AT LAST.
Molineux Up Before
Recorder Golf for
Murder.
NO JURYMAN SELECTED.
Prisoner Appears as Calm
and Collected as
Heretofore,
NO JURYMAN SELECTED.

New York, Nov. 14.-Roland B. Mo-
lineaux was put on trial for his life
today, in the court of general sessions,
before Recorder Golf, charged with the
death of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams on
Dec. %, 1898. No case more famous
or promising more startling disclosures
has ever been tried in New York city.
Mrs. Adams died after swallowing
what was believed to be a headache
powder that had been sent through the
mails in a silver matchholder as a
Christmas present to Harry Cornish,
physical director of the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club, and by him administered
to Mrs Adams, with whom he resided.
A chemical analysis developed the fact
that time powder contained a deadly
combination of cyanide of mercury.
The investigation which followed re-
suited in developing that Henry c..
Barnett, another prominent member of
the Knickerbocker Athletic Club who
had recently died, had received a SINH
lar powder, and that it contained cya-
hide of mercury also.
Roland B. MolineauX was among the
witnesses put on the stand at the COR
oner's inquest, and the testimony went
to show that Molineaux bore enmity
toward both Cornish and Barnet. He
was arrested after considerable delay,
and has been in the Tombs ever since.
Three grand juries considered his
case, and the first two brought in no
indictments. Both sides have fought
bitterly ever since MolineauX's arrest,
and today, after several hours were
occupied in an attempt to select a jury,
not one man had been selected to &C.
cupy a chair in the box when court
adjourned. Barlow Weeks, counsel for
Molineaux, made a final and desperate
effort to have it transferred to the SUI
preme court, but the recorder ordered
the trial to proceed. Molineaux' s
father, Gen. Molineaux, sat beside him
throughout the day. Harry Cornish
was present, and the court room was
crowded with prominent people The
prisoner Displaced the same air of con
fidence that has marked every public
appearance since the day he was frs
arrested.

Newark, N. j., Nov, A.-Edward G..
Wheeler of Boston has left here for
Richmond, Va. to investigate the af-
fairs of his brother-in-law, John E.
Huntoon, who died there.
Mr.. Wheeler came here to attend the
burial last Friday. The burial was Sc
eret, and was attended with some mys-
terry. There was no formal service at
the grave, the undertaken simply pro-
nouncing a few words as the coffin was
lowered The only person present ex-
cept Mr.. Wheeler and the undertaken
and his helpers was Judge John G..
Trusdell of this city, an intimate friend
Of the deceased.
The chief subject Of Mr.. Wheeler's
investigation is the statement by
friends Of Mr. Huhtoon that his life
was insured for more than $1,000,000
John Z. Huntoon was one of the most
remarkable men Newark has seen in
recent years. He came here Is years
ago from Chicago and opened stock
and grain brokerage office. 1t became
the common saying among his friends
that everything he touched turned to
gold. He speculated heavily and won
thousands at a. stroke Now and then
he would lose thousands, and he ac-
auired a wide reputation as a plunger.
His luxurious habits became the talk
of the city. and no resident was better
known than he.
Newark became too small for him and
he went to New York, where he became

a partner in the brokerage firm of Lew
is & Co. A few months previous to his
removal, his wife, who had been an
invalid, became seriously i'll and he
took her on a European tour. He spent
a fortune with specialists, but they
failed to relieve her, and she died This
was in 1886. Her loss was a crushing
blow to him, and was in part response
BILE for his removal to New York.
In the metropolis he eclipsed the rep
utation ne had made here as a prince
of good fellows. According to compan-
ions he spent sometimes thousands of

ness hours was always attended by half
dozen or more boon companions His pro-
digious expenditures caused wiseheads
to predict that some day he would have
to curtail them, and the prophecies
came true. Unsuccessful plunges in
Wall street aided in dissipating his for
tune, and when he died only a wreck Of
it was left.
When the firm of Lewis & Co. failed
he left New York and travelled through
the south. His mother and other rela-
tives, living in Boston, lost track of
him, and learned his whereabouts only
through his death in a Richmond hos
pital. Mr.. Wheeler paid the expense of
transporting the body here and bury
ing it.
Mr.. Huntoon was man of striking
appearance, over six feet tall and
weighing about 300 pounds.

President Bliss Sincere.

Boston, Nov. 14-The Transcript this
evening published the following: IAN
arrangement has been made by which
the form of lease of the Boston and
Albany railroad to the New York Cen
trail railroad has been made satisfac-
tory to the so-calIed protective com
mittee, and an addition of million and
half dollars has been madeto the cash
about to be paid by the New York
Central road. The protective commit
tee has decided that under all the cir
cumstances it is for the best interests
of the property and the stockholders
that this new lease should be ratified.
The sincerity of President Bliss, in
his desire to secure for Boston & AL
bany stockholders the benefits of the
present relatively high price for Boston
& Albany shares is attested by the fact
that when, preceding present negotia-
tions, the New York Central proposed
to the Boston & Albany that the two
companies should together Jointly
lease the Fitchburg by a guarantee of
A per cent upon Fitchburg preferred
stock, President Bliss declined to enter
into the arrangement.
President Bliss is evidently a great
believer in the Boston & Albany
property, in its relative value, but he
does not see that much more is to be
gotten out of the Boston & Albany
property as a fixture than s27O per
share. and he does see great possibili-
ties of risks in the future when electric
street road competition may be sharper

Washington. Nov. 4.-Mr. Gates of the
American Wire annd Steel Company was
before the Industrial commission today
Mr. Gates said that while his company
controlled majority of the wire product
of the country it did not seek to monopo-
lie the business, but on the contrary en-
couraged other operators.
He stated that Germany was the prin-
cipal competitor OF the United States in
the manufacture of wire and in it's pro-
ducts. and gave the details of an effort he
had made last summer to effect an inter-
national consolidation of wire works, taxi

DESTINATION NOT KNOWN.
But Schley viii Probably Cruise to
South African Ports.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Rear Admiral
Schley had long conference with As
sisant Secretary of the Navy Allen to-
day. 1t was the admirals final call
before leaving. as he goes on Thursday
to New York, where on Saturday he
will raise his flag on the cruiser Chi
cago. The sailing orders of the ship,
giving her route and destination, have
not yet been issued, and it is said
definite destination has not yet been de-
cided upon. The admiraPs conference
led to renewed conjecture as to the
probability of his going to some of the
South African ports.
AS to this, the admiral declined to
say a word, and there was the same
reticence throughout naval circles. 1t is
understood, however, that this was
among the matters gone over today,
and the view prevails in we'll informed
quarters that the admiral will visit
South African waters on his forthcom-
ing cruise.

The additional 100000 in the cash
payment will be highly satisfactory to
Worcester stockholders, as a matter of
course. Indeed it is not understood
that there was any particularly strong
objections to ratification of the lease
under the first offer. Hon. Edward L.
Davis and Hon. Stephen Salisbury,
both directors in the Boston & Albany.
ahve been favorable to the ratification
of the lease from the beginning.
When the protective committee was
organized, however, Col. A. George
Bullock was made a member of it by
reason of his strong opposition to the
ratification OF the lease. The exact
division of the proxies in so far as
Worcester holdings of Boston & AL
bany are concerned, cannot be stated
with any degree of accuracy, although
it is reasonable to assume, in view of
the very large holdings possessed by
Messrs Salisbury and Davis, that a
majority of the stock, at least in
amount, were in favor of the lease.
Neither Mr.. Salisbury nor Mr.. Davis
were at their homes last evening, so
that it is impossible to obtain a state
ment from them. It is probable that
with the exception of Boston, Worces-
ter investors hold a larger amount OF
Boston & Albany stock than any other
city in New England.

"KISsING BUG" is HERE.
Miss Kate Moran, of West Market
Street, the First Victim,

The ''melanolestes picipes," or kiss
ing bug" as he is more popularity
known, has arrived in this vicinity and
many persons are in a nervous tremor
as a result.
The first victim to fall under the ban
of this troublesome insect is Miss Kate
Moran, of 516 West Market street. She
was bitten on Thursday and the SWELL
ing and other symptoms almost i'm
mediately set in. She is being attended
by DR.. Herman Bessey.
The peculiar feature following the
bite of this pest is that the swelling
cannot be reduced by any known means
for forty-eight hours. Reports from
all over the eastern section of the
country show that the insect is very
much in evidence Several learned eu-
tomologists ridicule the idea and say
that the bites are caused by ultra
poisonous mosquitoes. Curator Schaef-
fer, of the chronological department Of
the American Museum Of Natural His
tory, however, admits that there is
such an insect and advises the appli-
cation Of liquid ammonia, followed by
witch hazel to the bitten part.
