has always been a drawback IN the
effort to supply Brownsville VIA

at Brownsville for want Of sup

ager of the Rio Grande Railroad
Company, has taken the matter
up with Brock Bros, of Roekport.
Mr. Celaya proposes to operate his
steam lighter Lazon, a 200 ton

BRYAN SPEAKS
 AT FRANKFORT Reioices With KentuckianS at a Banquet in Honor of
  Blackburn.

Frankfort. Ky, January 16.-W. J. Bryan Kentucky legislature tonight. The ban quet was also the celebration of the election of Senator Blackburn.
 MT. Bryan arrived at 4:3O, and was met at the train by committee, of which Senator Blackburn and MT. Goebel were members. The toasts responded to were as follows:
 By William J. Bryan, "The Democratic Party; It's Future and Its Politics." Sem ator J. c. s. Blackburn, "Old Kentucky" Senator William E. Goebel, Kentucky and Her Relations to the National Democracy"
 In his speech MT. Bryan said he came not to be banqueted, but to rejoice with the democrats over BlaclSburn's election. How ever much he might be regarded as a repu- diationist on the money question, nobody should say he repudiated Blackburn.
 On the subject of the Kentucky contests he had said that he hoped GoebePs election would be as overwhelming as Blac6burn's, and he said he had no advice for or against the contests, regarding them as a matter to be settled wholly by the committee.
 He referred to the Tilden-Hayes electoral committee, and pointed out the fact that the democrats acquiesced in it. The decis- ion of these contests, he said, should like wise be acquiesced in, no matter to what party the decision is given by the legisla ture
 The national platform, in addition to con- taining a money plank, would also contain plank against trusts and imperialism.

THE MOLINEUX CASE
Prosecution Continues to Show Motive
 for Barnet's Death

New York, January 16.-In the trial of Roland B. Molineux, the prosecution con tinued its efforts to show motive for the poisoning of Henry c. Barnet by Molin- eux. Recorder Golf threw out the evil dence declaring that the Barnet case had nothing to do with the present trial.
 Minnie Betts, the servant in Mrs. Belling- CTS house, No. 257 West End avenue, who testified yesterday, was recalled. It was at this house that Blanche Chesebrough lived after she left the house of West Sev- enty-fifth street, and the prosecution was endeavoring to prove that Barnet had visit ed her in her new home., thus arousing Molineux's jealousy and hatred. The re- corder, however, ruled out the testimony.
 The testimony then went back to the Adams case, calling Joseph J. Koch, pro- prietor of a private letter box agency on Broadway, who positively identified Molin- eux as the man who inquired about a let ter box on December 12, 1S98 Later box was hired by a man who gave the name "H Cornish" but who, witness declared positively was not Harry Cornish. The prosecution seeks to prove that the lessee of the box was Molineux. Court adjourn ed until tomorrow.

 THE HELGOLAND
Boat Picked Up Bearing That Name Believed to be from
 Sunken Steamer.

St. Johns, N. F., January 16.-The tug Ingralram reports that boat has been picked off Cape Pine, near the scene of uae wreck, bearing the name of "Helgoland." This without doubt is one of the boats of the sunken steamer.
 A dsligent search has been on for the bodies of the drowned.
 Everything goes to show that the wreck ed steamer is the Helgoland, the property of the Dutch-American Petroleum compa- ny. Owing to the heavy sea, boats are yet unable to approach the wreck, and lands men were unable today to get down to the beach, and therefore were unable to recov CT the bodies which have been lying ex- posed for five days and nights. Several bodies are now ashore, and can be reached when the sea becomes smooth. There are five others in the wreckage near the ship Others still were seen drifting south to- day. The wind is now veering landward again, and probably will drive them all ashore tomorrow, but it will keep a big sea on.
