WAS FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
First Case of the Kind Under
Judge Boyce,---State vs..
COti.

There was lively time in City CourI
this morning when the recent disagree
ment Of the River Street ladies came up
for settlement before Judge Boyc, .
Earl y in the forenoon the police room
was filled full of interested listeners,
and the evidence began. M. M. Gordon
appearing for the State and Ockington
& l.unt for Mrs. Coti. who was the re-
spondent charged with having commit
ted an assault upon the person of one
Mrs. Tacy.
1t was real Frenchy proceeding as
all Of the witnesses were better versed
in the French language than in thai
which is understood by the court.
1t was brought out in evidence thai
the two women were somewhat hostile
towards each other owing to certain do.
mestic matters, and that when Mrs.
Tacv came to the house in which the re-
spondent lived one day last week the
matter reached crisis and general
scrap in which chairs, tin dippers, fin
ger nails and vulgar language formed
il principal part of the entertainment.
and by the one who claimed to have
been the most damaged by the result.
the affair reached public notice in court
and another disgrace was added to the
River Street record.
The evidence was getting along very
we'll until it reached an unforeseen
barrier, when the attorney for the de-
fence called up as witness Mrs. Lar
annie who was claimed to be the princi-
pal witness on that side Of the case.
She conversed quito freely in English
and in that language vociferously ex-
posulated with the attorneys and with
the court that she could not speak word
of English. However questions were
fired at her and she refused to enligten
the court further than the expression
"Je ne sails pas Judge Boyce ,;.' to
induce her to testify but it was of no use
and he finally bad u "mittimus" made out
and ordered deputy sheriff +. G. French
to commit her to the county Jail besides
tining her $1,000 for contempt of court.
After this of course the only option
left was to continue the case and it was
set by until next Monday ut which time
doubtless the witness will have had time
to learn enough United States to tell her
story.

Police May Try New Methods In
Adams Poisoning Case.
STATEMENTS BY THE NURSE
Miss Bates, Who Attended Barnet.
Tells Captain McClusky Enough
to Make Him Think One Per-
son Committed Both Deeds.

| New York, Jan. 9.-In his efforts to
solve the mysterious Adams poisoning
case which has been puzzling the New
York police for - days Captain Nc
Clusky made the question Of who sent
cyanide of mercury to Henry Cornish
subordinate to the question of who sent
bottle of the same deadly drug to
Henry C. Barnet. DEVELOPMENTS and
statements attributed to Miss Bates, a
nurse who attended Mr.. Barnet, led
Captain McClusky to begin a systematic
effort to detect the person who sent
poison to Barnet.
There were several conferences be-
tween DR.. Douglass and Miss Bates and
Captain McClusky's men. The activity
Of the detective bureau in this connec-
ton strengthens the belies4athat the
same person sent cyanide OF mercury to
Barnet and Cornish. If the police are
able to find out more about the bottle
sent to Mr.. Barnet. therefors, they may
have more material with which to de-
termine who was the murderer of Mrs
Kate J. Adams.
1t is considered to be improbable that

HATCHERY AT GROrON.
SENATOR GRIFFITH Is EXPECTED TO
BUILD ONE NEXT SPRING.
From all appearance Grotton by ne

From all appearance Grotton by next
.s.ss:a9 may have one OF the finest and
hust' eciii fish hatcheries in the
State. Since Senator Griffith, OF Dandy
bought the lunb' land and pond know Il
as the Darling proper y, many rlmo s
have been circulated as to what 1 {
intent OF the new owner is in gard c
the utility of these possessions.
Although nothing has been said out
right by Mr.. Griffith or any of his mpl,
enough hints have been dropped to sat
isfy most people that a fish hatchery IS
coming. In the first place the pond
was what sold the property and not the
lumber and in the next, no body OF
water could be found better adapted for
the purpose. Mr. Darling has kept the
pond we'll stocked with trout and in the
last three years the spawn has come
very near to 1900 900.
1t has been said that certain persons
tried to have Congress purchase this
pomd and land about it for a country
club. The old residents of the town
>ay the meadow which the pond now
covers for years was the spawning place
for the entire water system of the valley.
1t Is understood that 20 pounds of trou
are being daily shipped from this pond
to New York by the owner at 81 "a pound
G.. l.. SowIe the resident agent foI
Senator Griffith in Gro,on, said Friday
evening that nothing definite could be
made known al present IN regard to the
hatchery until at least, MIR. Griffith re-
turned from Cuba. All that was being
done now was numbering and about L.

night

Committees consisting of eleven mem
bers from each the Granite Manufacture
crs Association and the Granite Cutters
National Union met Saturday night to
see if the difficulties between the two
organizations could not be amicably
settled, but as neither side would make
concessions, no agreement was reached.
The committee from the manufac-
turer's will report at regular meeting
Of that organization to be held Wednes-
day. January II, when the matter will
be further discussed, and perhaps some
definite action will be taken. AT the
same meeting secretary will be elected

of Mrs. Adams will be made impediate-
|y. Captain McCluskK is al
most as short of ev 1iehct
he could make an arrest as he was ten
lays ago. But he hopes to establish the
act that the poison received by Barnet
md Cornish was sent by the same man.
District Attorney Gardiner said he
would decide at once whether to apply
or an order to exhume the body of Mr..
Barnet for chemical analysis of the
stomach of the dead man. If he believes
the facts sufficient to justify that
course, Colonel Gardiner added, he will
apply for the order at once.
Dr. Douglass said that Miss Bates. in
her conversations with him about Mr..
Barnet never intimated that she sus-
pected two attempts to poison him had
Deen made. He said Barnet knew he
had taken cyanide of mercury.

Ships Overdue.

Halifax, Jan. 9.-The Beaver line
steamer Tongariro, which arrived from
Liverpool with 800 passengers, reports
a succession Of heavy head gales. The
steamer was IA days on the passage,
which was one of the toughest voyages
in years. High seas accompanied the
gales, and considerable sea was ship
ped, but only minor damage was sus-
tanned. The Tongariro saw nothing of
the overdue steamers Damara or Man
chester Trader, both running in the
Furness line. 1t is thought possible one
steamer is disabled and in tow of the
other. The Damara is q days out and
the Manchester Trader 18. They are
bound here, and the agents of the line
are beginning to be anxious for their
safety.

THE WEATHER.

measure compensated by seeing mag
nifcent light weather duel. In the end
the Disappointment of the patriotic
among the spectators was perhaps
sharpened by the fact that, when the
race was abandoned, the Columbia was
in the lead and improving her position
and, had it been finished, the American
champion might have had one race to
her credit. AS on two previous days,
the course was laid fifteen miles dead
before the wind and return. So evenly
matched were the beautiful racers
that they rounded the outer mark like
thoroughbreds, almost neck and neck,
finished after a three hour thresh to
the windward with the Columbia's
white, shark-like nose a half length in
front and in the weather position, but
so close was her green rival
that the black shadow Of the Sham
rocks sails was silhOuetted against
those of the Yankee.
AS a result of the struggle and Of
those of Tuesday and Thursday, ex
perts are great deal confOunded.
Some of them differ as to the merits Of
the two boats, but they seemed unani-
nous upon two things, that the Sham
rock is the ablest boat that ever
crossed the western ocean to lift the
mug and, what is still more important,
she is more ably handled than the de-
fender. The superior seamanship of
Captain Hogarth and his crew was
demonstrated at several critical points
in the race of Saturday, though to Cap
tain Barr and the nervy managing
owner of the Yankee sloop belong the
credit of executing as brilliant and
daring a piece of seamanship as was
ever witnessed in a yacht race. It's
recklessness caused great deal vi
nervousness and anxiety and it's accom-
plishment therefore made the Ameri-
can pulse beat high with pride. 1t was
the spectacular feature of the day md
fortune favored the brave. Just as the
whistles of the excursion fleet at the
outer bouy began their screeches of well
come to- the yachts, the ShamrOck's
crew trimmed down the sheets as the
yacht luffed around the mark. The
Columbia's bowsprit was right over her
taffrail, however, and, as she came up
to the wind Captain Barr shot his boat
in between the Shamrock and the
mark, neatly taking the weather berth.
1t was clever bit of maneuver-
ing and Immediately placed the
American boat in the lead.

Madison, Oct. TO-.
The state land Office does a ''land
Office business" in the loaning of
money to impecunious school districts,
counties, cities and state educational
and charitable institutions. Since the
first day of the year it has loaned
over 100000 to the various boards of
trustees, city councils, county boards
and school district officials at the low
rate of 312 per cent, established by the
last legislature, and there are about
100000 more in the state treasury
that may be had upon the same terms
Money is loaned for Improvements
and refunding of debts only, and is Sc
cured by bonds properly issued or by
vouchers against appropriations, as in
the case of the state historical and Ii
brary trustees, who recently borrowed
$4,000 to push forward the work on
the splendid new building at the west
end Of the lower campus. This loan
was made in four amounts, the first
being $4,000, the second $4,000, the
third $4,000 and the fourth 100000
The trustees may have all they need
at the same rate, SO long as they do
not exceed their appropriation.
The commissioners recently loaned
$4,000 to Trempealeau county to help
it build new insane asylum, $4,000
to Sturgeon Bay for city improve
ments, $4,000 to Amberg, Marinette
county, to build new school house,
$4,000 to Washburn in Bayfield, coun-
ty, $4,000 to Mosenee in Marathon
county, and a great many smaller
sums TO different school districts
throughout the state. In addition to
the loans made since January, nearly
100000 is owed upon loans made in
previous years, making total of about
81, 100000, loaned and on hand.
This great fund is a blessing to the
schools, districts, cities and counties
and to the state itself, enabling the
several organizations to erect public
buildings with money secured at a rate
of interest far below that which other
wise might be granted them.
"The income from these loans" said
Chief Clerk Castle, ''goes to the schools
of the state upon the basis of school
population. We cannot dispose of the
principal, which was secured by the
sale of lands. We are selling no lands
at present save those in the state park
as the others have not been appraised.
Formerly, we were compelled by law to
| sell them for almost nothing, but under
the new statute we secure the market
price. We sold forty acre tract the
other day for $1,000. Under the old
plan we would have gotten but $12O
! for it..
