new EVIDENCE FOUND.
Letter Discovered Having
Important Bearing in
the Adams Case.

East Hampton, CT, Sept. 15-Dr. D.
A. Williams, patent medicine dealer of
this place, today received a letter from
the district attorneys office, New York,
which is believed to have direct bear
ing on the now famous Adams murder
case in that city. The letter was from
district Attorney Osborne, and asks
that letter which DR.. Williams had
received in April, 1898, asking for sam
pies and signed Albert Morgan, Is West
23d street. New York, be forwarded to
him.
The request was also made that Dr.
Williams have his books for the past
three years gone over, to ascertain il
letters had been received from Roland
B. MolineuX Harry Cornish, H. c.
Barnet or Walter S. Barnet
DIR. Williams succeeded in finding the
correspondence requested by the New
York officials 1t proved to be a pos.
tai card. 1t was postmarked on the
addressed side, New York, N Y.
April 27, 2.30 p. M, 1885," and bore the
address. "Dr. D. A. Williams, East

corner We're these words: Sec. f. A

British Trying to
Guess Nature OF
Beers Reply.
MOST ACUTE STAGE OF GAME.
Dispute Now Within Meas
ureable Distance
of War.

London, Sept. 16.-In the forecasts of
President Kruger's reply there is un-
doubtedly basis of truth, which seems
to bring the dispute within a measur-
able distance of war. Last evening
the Press Association issued curious
statement to the effect that the govern
ment would have to accept "a new con-
vention, already drafted, which, while
guaranteeing the integrity of the
Transvaal state, provides for the de-
molition OF the forts and limits the
armed force of the Transvaal to a num-
Der deemed sufficient to maintain in
ternal order
According to this. the convention will
demand that the diplomatic agencies
be suppressed and the judiciary be
made independent of the executive.
The morning paper editorials regard
the correspondence as having reached
its most acute phase.
The Daily News says: I'VE refuse
to believe that President Kruger is SO
foolish as to reject Mr.. Chamberlain's
moderate demands"
The Daily Chronicle: New terms
will involve the ruin of the state over
which President Kruger rules. The
TransYaal has played it's last card in
the game. If Mr.. Kruger haggles. the
sinister conditions in Africa will grow
worse until a climax is reached"

I can explain for the history of cor
porations will show some justification.
In one sense l think overcapitalization
is matter of no public moment. In
another I think it has a serious aspect
Tell the truth about what you have
got and capitalize as you please. If an
industry capitalizes for $1,000, 000
knowing that it could not pay dividends
upon one, and then without any posit-
i've falsehood drives people or induces
them TO buy at a fictitious value, l cali
that a. swindle. The remedy for all
evils, in my judgment is publicity. We
do not object to the people of corpora
tons. Corporate existence is the nat
ural evolution of the partnership. But
the management of corporations has
been the BLACKLIST page in all our his
tory
And the public Indignation, which
ought to be responsible for this shame,
has too often been visited upon the
stockholders instead of the corporations
themselves, who have been the victims
of that infamy. Notwithstanding that
year after year we see evidences of the
fraud which has characterized the
management of corporations, I doubt if
director has been made to answer Ia
it."

A DULL SESSION.
Mazet Commission Lacks
the Excitement to Which
1t Is Used.

New York, Sept. 15.-Contrasted with
the pyrotechnic display at yesterdays
session of the Mazet legislative in
vestigating committee, todays proceed
ings were dull and uninteresting in the
extreme. The first portion of the days
hearing was devoted to a continuation
of the investigation of the $4,000 900
Ramapo water contract and the testl-
mony was unimportant
Ex-Judge John f. Dillon was the first
witness of the day. His testimony
counted for little or nothing. Elk
Mayor Wuerster of Brooklyn was the
next. Louis Haffein, president of the
borough of Bronx, seemed to think that
an insufficient supply Of water existed
but he was opposed to private owner
ship on general principles. Maurice F.
Holahan, president of the board of pub
lie improvements, testified that under
existing circumstances he would be
willing to put through the Ramapo
water contract if he had the power.
From water to fire was an easy tran
sition for Mr.. Moss. A dozen firemen
were called to the stand for the pur-
pose of demonstrating that intoXication
prevailed in the fire department: that
men were compelled to contribute one
per cent of their salaries tothe general
welfare of Tammany Hail. and that
other abuses prevailed in this section
of the municipal government Nothing
sensational, however, occurred during
the proceedings.
At the conclusion of the hearing to-
day, Mr. Moss gave out a statement in
reply to the typewriter document pre-
sented yesterday by Richard Croker.
Mr. Moss explained that he had not
witnessed the signature to the docu-
ment, to which Mr.. Croker and Justice
Van Brunt had objected, but that he
had acted in good faith. He claimed
that at the time an appeal had been
taken in this particular Schooley case
when he was called on to answer re-
garding his acts as a notary. He was
attorney for the Society for the Pre-
vention of Crime, and that the decision
of the judges given out by Mr., Croker
was given without his being accorded a
hearing.

RING SPINNING COMPANY.

New Corporation Has Mayor Quincy
and Ambassador Draper for Officers.
Boston. Sept 15.-The Boston Finan-
cial News today says: The Rotary
Ring Spinning company has been or
ganized with a capital stock of s., 0OO, OOO.
with its main offices in Boston. The
company was formed for the purpose
of developing a new process of ring
spinning and twisting which, II is
claimed, will largely increase the pro-
duction of cotton mills by making it
possible to run spinning and twisting
frames at a far greater speed than is
now practicable.
The officers are as follows: President.
Hon. Josiah Quincy, Boston; treasurer,
John Brooks, treasurer of the Nashua
& Lowell Railroad Co.; secretary, Jas.
w. Cumnock, treasurer Of the Manches-
ter mills The directors include Gen.

UNEXPECTED DRAWBACK
Police Hindered By Medi-
cal Examiners Alleged
Lack of Duty.

Barnstable, Mass, Sept. 15.-The work
of making perfect the government
case in the Whittemore murder case,
has met with a drawback which great
ly disturbs the officers, in the alleged
failure of the medical examiner of this
county to make an autopsy on White
more's body after being instructed to
do so. The body has been embalmed
and removed to Whittemore's late home
for the funeral tomorrow.
When District Attorney Holmes was
notified of the facts, he ordered Medi-
cal Examiner Hough of New Bedford
in the adjoining county, to hold an au-
topsy, which will be done before the
funeral. The officers are still search
ing for the weapon used by the muir
derer. Evidence seems to confirm the
belief that Snow. the boy under arrest
was ridlng with Whittemore a short
time before the latter was killed, but
when the two were last seen, they were
laughing and feeling in the best OF
spirits.
State Officer Letteney says that Snow
dld his best to escape when being fol-
lowed. and when arrested did not ask
the reason. Later, when Snow was
told that he was suspected of murder
ne replied: What, is Jimmie White
more desd?"
Mrs. Albert G. Snow, mother of the
suspected murderer arrived at her
home in Yarmouthport from her vaca-
ton outing, spent in Glendale, N, H,
tonight. She was accompanied by a
young lady friend who says that Mrs
Snow has not heard of the murder or
OF the arrest of her boy She will he
informed by Mrs. Joseph Hucllins Of
Onset, her mother.
Edward Ray Snow was arraigned in
the first district court here this fore
noon, before Judge Swift. Snow plead
ed not guilty and was held without bail
for further hearing on the 25th The
prisoner looked very pale and haegard,

Three Prisoners Are Guard Over KIM
at the Jail.

Three of the largest and heavily built
prisoners at the county Jail on Summer
street are now watching every move
made by Peter King of FiskdaIe. who
Killed his father and mother Wednes-
day morning King was more rational
yesterday early in the day than he Ia g
been at any time since his confinen,aY,t
at the Worcester Jail, but from exnat
rlence with such cases as his. the iail
ofncials believe that it is but the o1iat
before a storm, and King will become
more violent today than he has hean
at any time since his attack.
That he is suffering from a severe Of
tack OF delirium tremens it not doubted
and yesterday three prisoners were co,
lected to watch him. They are in tba
same apartment with him, and watch
MS every move, as much for their own
safety as for the purpose of doing the
duty to which they are assigned. The
guard will be changed eveM "a hours
until his attack passes over, and at
present the Jail officials are led to he
lieve that he does not for a monent
realize the enormity of his crime.
