Baltimore, January 1.-The report con- corning the proposed purchase of the Sea- board and Roanoke Railroad company, parent corporation of the Seaboard Air Line system, is officially confirmed today.

POISONINGsMYSTERY.
Police Have Three Men Under Con-
 stant Surveillance.

New York, January 1.-The police have three men under surveillance in accordance with the Adams Cornish poisoning and would have arrested one or all of them had it not been for the fact that none of these suspects has light beard. Miss Miller, the saleswoman who sold the match holder in Newark, is positive that the purchaser had a light beard. It is said that should the police discover that any of the suspects purchased a false beard, an arrest would immediately follow and that the police would then believe that they had good chance to secure the conviction of Mrs. Adams murderer.
 Prof. Wilthaus who has been analysing the contents of the bottle from which Mrs Adams drank today made his report to the district attorney. Prof. Wilthaus says def- nitely that the poison in the bottle sent to Cornish was cyanide of mercury and that he believes the sender of the poison must have been either chemist or one with an intimate knowlege of chemicals. Pro- lessor Wilthaus also says that the bottle containing the poison was not a Bromo Seltzer bottle, though a label taken from a regular Promo Seltzer bottle had been pasted over this bottle
 The suspects are said to be men who had grudges against Cornish.
