THE ADAMS MURDER.
Discovery of n Piece of Paper Affords
CIew to the Murderer

Discovery OF n Piece of Paper Affori7s
II Clew to the Murderer.
New York, Jan. pa piece Of evil
dence tending to connect the murderer
of Mrs. Adams with the death of Henry
Crossman Barnet and at the same time
may either tend to clear the person
most under suspicion in the Adams case
or to establish the fact that he had an
accomplice has been discovered by the
police. According to an admission made
by CAPITA n McClusky, the discovery
came about through an inspection of the
thousands CT requests for samples of
kutnow powders which the police some
weeks ago admitted were in their hands.
1t was kutnoW powder conta lining
cyanide of mercury that was sent to
Barnet, and the handwriting on the
Cornish package and that of the request
sent to the EutnoW people asking for a
sample of the powder is the same, ac-
cording to William J. Kingsley and Da-
vid N. Carvalho, the handwriting eX-
perts. This request asked for a sample
of the powder to be sent to a private
letter box address in this city. Post
master Van Colt denies that it is post
office Letter box, and it is believed that
the address vas a private letter box in
an I'D town c'gHr store
1t is sail that the police have accepted
the theory that two persons were con-
cerned in the poison plct and that Cap
tain McClus!ly believes that the prison.
er's accomplice wrote the letter now in
possession Of the experts as we'll as the
address on the package sent to Cornish.
AS soon as tie last reports are made by
Kinsley, Carvalho and Professor Witt
haus en- arrest CT possibly two arrests
will be made. CAPTAIN McClusky said
that when an arrest was made it would
not be in Brooklyn or Newark, but in
Manhattan.

NOW IS THE TIME.

II is an extraordinary fact that not voice
has been raised against the effort to prevent the
railroad companes from doing what they want
to do in Amstcrdam-ave. except by their pald
snokpsmen The opposition 10 the Ford ana
Fallows bills in the Legislature is ostenslbly
directed not NJ their purpose. but n their form.
Grady and other members who are ZealouSl!
doing somebody's bidding pretend that they are
only irving to make the restrictions safe ana
effective by their perniCious amendment. Gro
,or has asserted positively over his signature
that he is heartily in favor Of the bill-not the
amended bill. but the bill as II was introduced.
The course of events at Albany has caused the
Republican organization leaders TO be suspect
cd by some persons of insincerity. but Chair
man Odell declares that he earnestly desires
70 have the bill passed in its original form. ana
never even heard of the amendment uh'i "
had been inserted by the Senate committee.
Among the citizens of New-lork outside 'he
railroad circle, there Is only one opinion Ap'ut
the rarest thing in the world. proverbiall! ana

THE EAST RIVER MEL.

Senator Marshalrs bill 10 exempt the fran
chse sought by the Long Island Railroad Com
ranv for tunnel under the East River from
the twontv-nvc-year limit of the city charter
has emerged from the Senate Committee on
Cities There have been many objections 10 It
on the ground that the privileges granted were
too extensive. and that the bill might be con
strucd TO interfere with The Manhattan Island
rapid-translt plans We are not prepared to say
that some Of these objections are not well taken,
ard perhaps the bill should have some amend
mcnt 10 obviate them. but We think there can be
no doubt of the reasOnablenesS of the request
for more than a twenty -lvc-year franchise for
great tunnel under an arm Of the sea.
such a franchise is entirely different from one
for a street surface railroad or even an under
ground street railroad. II is more Ike the fran
chSe for an ordinary railway, with even stronger
claims 10 long life. The companies which use
the streets at or Just below the surface receive
not merely the grant of space. but the privilege
of money making from the traffic which the
previous public expenditure in street building
has created The benefit conferred is great
and the cost of the line small in comparison
that n reasonable return can be- reaped In TWEEN
tv-fivc years and II IS only right that the city
should get back, either at fair valuation of the.
plant or In some cases even by simple forfeiture
Of that plant the possession OF the public prop
crty diverted for time 10 corporate use. But
a great tunnel under the river takes nothing
that ANYBODY else wants 10 use. The number Of
tunnels which can be- built Is practically unlim-

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-06-26

The great danger which lies in wooden
bridges over railroad cuts was amply
demonstrated last week. Four times In as
many lays the old wooden concern on
Bergen avenue over the cut of the New
ark and New York branch of the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey, has been fired by
a spark from a locomotive, while the
bridge over Clerk street was set on ire
in the same way. Great delay and incon-
yenience would occur should any of the
bridges over the railroads of the city be
destroyed. and this fact should be earn
estly considered by these railroad com
panies and the municipal authorities. II
the companies will not erect iron bridges
of their own volition when renewals are
made, the proper authorities should take
steps to compel them to do So These
wooden bridges are liable to be destroyed
by fire at almost any time and the annoy
ance which the absence of any one OF
them would occasion to the travelling
public. should cause the authorities to deal
with the evil at once.
