New York, May 19.-R. G.. Dun &

says:
Business is not What 1T was a year
ago, but men do not agree in defining
the difference. The working force.
then increasing fast. is now decreasing.
Works are stopping to relieve excess
sive output in manufactures of paper,
cotton, wool, leather and some form of
steel, While prices are suddenly re-.
duced for the same purpose in lead,
wire and nails. What seems to some
merely spring dullness," others think
"the beginning of reaction. The rem
edy for one difficulty does not fit the
usual for close attention to the mean
ing of events. Business in alllines has
been hindered by holding of prices SO
high as To check consumption. The
closing Of the works be the steel and

tion OF $50 per ton inpiices of its prod
ucls, the closing of many pape'i mills

healthy adjustment has been rapid

Wooden manufacturers are not meet

MOLINEAUX'S CRIME.
Ss,,,,,,.4 ,,.,,,.,,,,,,,n,u,,,,,,,,.,.,,,,.nS

The conviction in New York OF
swagger young Richard b. Monneaux
awakens new interest in his crime.
Mrs. Katherine j. Adams died in her
tiat on w. Sixty-sixth street Dec. 28,
1898, half an hour after drinking a
dose of bromo settler. Harry Cornish,
athletic director of the KncKerbocker
Athletic club, who boarded with her,
administered the medicine, which he
had received through the mails three
weeks before. When Mrs. Adams COM
planned of the bitter taste of the drug,
Cornish took swallow or two of it
also. He became violently i'll and re-
NAMED under the doctors care for sew
eral days.
On investigation it developed that
Cornish had received the bromo seltzer
in package containing also a silver
bottle holder, and, after exhibiting
both at the club as what was regarded
as an anonymous Christmas present
from joking friend, took them home.
He saved the outer covering, with the
idea, he has testified, of possibly later
learning the identity of the strange
Handwriting on the package.
With this handwriting and the bot
tie holder the police went to work, on
the theory that the poison had been
meant for Cornish. They learned that
Cornish had had enemies in his own
club, and directed their energies
thither.
Roland B. Molineux had resigned
from the club year or 30 before, be-
cause of a quarrel with Cornish, for
which the club refused to discipline the
latter. 1t has been said that Cornish
had called Molineux a vile name.
From the testimony of Cornish, Mol
ineux and others, at the coroner's in
quest into Mrs. Adams death, Feb. 10,
1899, and from the clues and opinions
of detectives under handwriting ex-
perts, the prosecution secured enough
circumstantial evidence against Mol
ineux to secure his arrest Feb. q and
dictment was subsequently quashed by
the court, but he was reindicted the
following day.
Suspicion had meanwhile been
aroused over the death of Henry G..
Barnet at the Knickerbocker Athletic
club. Barnet had been an intimate
friend Of Molineux's He died in Noyen-
Der 1898, after a short illness. His
doctor ascribed HIS death to diphtheria,
but an autopsy showed traces Of cyan
