The report is gratifying to the Governor.
The surgeon, who has had years of ex-

should hot be quickly stamped out in the

smallpox that 1 have found this time
in Georgia is very mild. Many have it in
mild type and don't know what is the
matter with them. l would prefer that

would then make the patient sick enough
to go to bed, and We could stamp out the
Epidemic easier
THE disease IS everywhere throughout
tae United States. Is is just as prevalent
in summer as winter. We hear of more
cases in the winter and during the cold
season because the people stay closer to-

New York. Feb. l0-The two men whose
names have been most intimately con-
nected with the death of Mrs. Kate J .
Adams, were on the witness stand to-day
before Coroner Hart and jury, and were
put through a rigid cross-examination by
Assistant District Attorney Osborne, who

to Mrs. Adams, was the first witness, and
at the afternoon session II. b. MolineuN.
who had been named by Cornish on the

the mails, was called.
Cornish was again to-day somewhat
reticent and equivocal in his answers to
questions put to him by the assistant dis
trict attorney, and in one instance, at
least, occasioned a good deal of surprise.
In an interview with "a number of news

asked if he knew Mrs MolineuX, and II
she could have any connection with the

ton on the stand
Made Careless Statements.
"a man is supposed to perjure himself
for a woman" said Cornish. But ! am
here 10 tell the truth if they ask me such
a question"
This seemed a significant statement at
the time and Assistant District Attorney
Osborne put those very questions 20 him
90 which Cornish made the following an
swer:
Il never saw Mrs. Molineux to know
her, and never saw her when she was
Blanche Chesborough,"
Didn't YOU" asked Osborne, SAY to
two men this morning when asked If you
knew Mrs. Molineux. that you wished l
would ask you that question, and although
some men would perjure themselves you
would tell the TRUTH"
Cornish denied this at first but later he
admitted that he might have said It, as he
had said so many things and that he was
very much ratified at the time.
AS a matter of fact, Cornish did not
prove to be a very good witness, mas
much as he threw but little light on the
case. He made the statement that he had
suspected Molineux of having prepared the
poison because a chemist, friend of his,
had suggested on account of a sediment
having been left In the glass from which
Mrs. Adams drank, that the bromo-seltzer
preparation had been put up by a half
chemist, man who had some knowledge
of chemistry, but not COM
plete knowledge, and that as
Molineux knew something of chemistry,
his name naturally suggested itself. This
was the reason. Cornish said, and the fact
that he had had a quarrel with MolineuX
was another reason.
MOIineux on the stand.
Cornish gave way on the stand temper
arily to MolineuX.
Mr.. Osborne made the statement It could
go on record that Molineux had appeared
as a witness at his request, and then asked
the witness abruptly if he was innocent OF
the poisoning of Mrs. Adams. MohneuS re-
piled.
II am absolutely innocent"
Molineux told of his connection with the
Knickerbocker and New York Athletic
clubs, and said that he had left the former
club largely because Of his quarrel with
Cornish. He was asked if he had known
Henry c. Barnet, and replied that he was
a warm personal friend of that man, q
friendship that had lasted several years.
He could see no motive why any one
should send poison to Barnet, and decar-
ed that he had not known Barnet was sick
until a few days before Barners death,
and this he learned, he explained because
he was 20 give "a dinner at which Barnet
was to be present A mutual friend told
him of Barnet's Illness

the Knickerbocker Athletic Club on the
second floor occupied by himself Barnet.

yachting "trip on A. j. Morgans yacht Via
tor, which has recently been introduced
in the case, came up for consideration.
Molineux said that he had been on several
cruises on this yacht, but that Barnet had
never been with him. He met Miss Ches-
borough on one of these trips, being intro
duced to her by her married sister.
At this interesting point the hearing was
adjourned until Tuesday morning next.

CAPITALISTS OBSERVATIONS
Messrs. Gibson and Rock, of Cleveland,
Return Home Highly Pleased After
Thorough Examination of New
Mexico Properties.

Mrs. A. K. Gibson and John Rock,
Cleveland, Ohio, capitalists, who have
recently spent considerable time invest
igating the New Mexico placer fields,
have finished their work and returned
home. They have secured valuable
property and will return in 80 days to
place a plan in operation in the southern
part of the territory. The machine they
will set up is known as the Perks separ-
ator, which operates on the centrifugal
force plan, aided by mercury. This
machine is now working on the rusty
gold on the Snake River, Idaho, region,
and is the only plant which has success
fully operated on flour gold. The in
vestigations of the gentlemen ambraced
the entire territory from the Old Mex
leo to the Colorado line, except the
Jarilla and Jicarilla regions, and is
probably the most thorough examination
that has we been made in the territory.
| They have secured blocks of ground in
nearly every region. and n of their
chief acquisitions is a 300 acre tract
upon which a II inch stream of water
can be easily secured. The company
represented by these gentlemen is a
close corporation and will doubtless
have an Office in Santa Fe.
, Mr.. Gibson is cognizant Oh the splendid
opportunities in the placer line which
have been lying dormant in New Mexico
for years, and believes that there is a
great field for capital, especially in dry
placer work. To The New Mexican rep

New Mexico is fully equal to Colorado's
position 10 years ago. The natural OPP
p%ortunities are such that the placer
grounds in a majority of places can be
worked without the aid of our separator
but nevertheless we will put a plant in
operation. The results of our future
work will doubtless interest "a large
amount of eastern capital which would
not come in otherwise. The quartz
mines with their meagre development
are superior to anything | have seen in
the west" The gentlemen did not en-
ploy a number of experts while here but
made all of their Investigations in person
and attended to the work of panning.
They were %agreeably surprised to Learn
that the Moreno valley placer district
had produced something like S., 900, 00(
since its discovery and was still disgorg'
ing Il large amount of bullion per an
mum, and that a sufficient acreage is
shown to warrant steady work for the
next century without exhausting the
supply. One of the districts which they
visited, north of the town of Hillsboro,
which is a dry placer region, made a
splendid production last week. Follow
ing are the purchases in gold dust and
nuggets made by merchant firms in the
town of Hillsboro during the week from
natives who have been working the
ground: Thomas Long, $436; Robins &
Crews, $47S; Keller, Miller & Co., S675
One nugget purchased by the latter
firm is valued at $92.

And Perhaps He Didn't Mind Missing
II Either.
1t was on a Sabbath morn, and George

anxiety and t%repidation, that came from

day, told by his little wife, at which he
had scoffed. A tale of a dark browed

and who had behaved SO strangely that
Maud suspected him of being a burglars

He was only a pale bookkeeper, and

but not for a moment did he falter.
YOU'RE too late" said Maud with a
pretty pout as George dashed into the
room with a fire in his eye that the
blood on his nose could not dim.
"What-where is he?" he gasped,
looking around with an awful faintness
at the heart.

she in a disappointed voice. "He had

Interest In Nicaragua Canal Awakened.

The recent tragic and dramatic events
on the Philippine islands and the ne
cessity of effecting some quick means of
communication via the Atlantic sea-
board, will excite renewed interest in
the Nicaragua canal. The senatorial
debates have shown that the senators
had in the project, consi 1ered by itself,
unlimited confidence. The trouble was
lack of faith in the pending measure,
and a hope has been expressed that
such changes will be made in the pres
ent senatorial bill after conference with
the house that the senate can see its
way to more heartily support it. Not a
few senators were convinced that no
canal could be built under the conces-
sion Of the Maritime Canal Company,
and n senator declared that the only
action the government could take under
this bill would be the initial payment to
the Maritime Company for franchise
and OUTLAWS of nc value whatever. AS
u result of the senator's statement. it
has been decided hat no payment shall
be made, unless the president decided
that the work should be done under the
Maritime Company's concessions. If
the Central American Republics refuse
to make the necessary concessions, some
other canal will be built. The opposi-
tion to the measure came from the south
and west, although the Pacific slope
was solid in favor of the bill.
