challenged Colonel Wetmore, million.
aire and former tobacco magnate, to
a duel. Sunday night Arlund and

BIG STRIKE AvERTED.
Railways Grant Concessions to En-.
2loyes at Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-The wage con-
troversy between the railroads and
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
which for a time threatened to tie up
all the principal switching terminals
in Chicago, was amicably adjusted
during the evening at a conference
between the railroad managers and
officials of the brotherhood. The set,
tlement was reached on the basis of
compromise. Seventeen of the rail
roads signed the new agreement and
the, Santa Fee, the other road involved,
will sign in the morning. -,
The men will receive an increase
OF about ~ per cent. In their de.
mands, which were submitted several
weeks ago, the men asked for an in.
crease OF 5 cents an hour. After sew
eral conferences between the repre-.
sentatives of both sides, the railroads
offered to compromise with an in
crease of 279 cents an hour to help.
ers and cents to foremen. This was
refused by: the switchmen. At the
evenings meeting the railroads sub.
mitted a proposition offering an in.
crease Of 3 cents an hour to helpers
and cents to foremen. After several
hours deliberation the proposition was
accepted by the men.
The effect of the compromise is far
reaching. According to dispatch
from the headquarters of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen the rate
will go into effect at all large CEN
tiers west of Chicago, where commit
tees are now in session awaiting the
outcome of the Chicago trouble.
Representatives of the organization
will leave here at once for Kansas
City, Denver, Omaha, st. Louis and
other points to have the new scale
officially ratified by other roads and
employees. It is asserted that already
the men and managers have agreed
to abide by the Chicago decision, and
as a consequence no trouble is antic.
lpated in making the agreement uni
versal for the entire district west of
Chicago.
The Chicago scale goes into effect
Nov. Is, and through the pending
agreements with the railroad mana
gers it cannot be modified without
thirty days notice.

Milwaukee, Nov. IL. - Sergeant at.
Arms =Casson of the house of repre-.
sentatives is here preparing for a
meeting which Congressman Bah.
cock will have the latter part of the
week with members of the Wisconsin
delegation.
Congressman Babcock desires to get
the support of the Wisconsin delega.
ton before he shall announce himself
a candidate for speaker of the house.
1t is believed he will have the support
OF the delegation, as his tariff views
are in conformity with those of the
dominant element in the Republican
party in this state.
While Babcock may be opposed by
some of the men who are against a
revision of the tariff schedules, it is
not believed that any of the Wiscon.
sin members will oppose him because
of his tariff views. .

ERNIE, J. ADAMS.
OUT THIRTEEN MINUTES
Jurors Make Short, Work Of the Sec.
ond Trial Of Noted Poisoning Case.
Mo'ineux Was Convicted and Sen.
fenced to Death at the First Trial
and Has Been in Prison Nearly
Four Years. s

New York, Nov. 12.-Roland B. Mol
ineux was set at liberty during the day
after spending nearly four years : in
prison and being once condemned to
death and twice placed on trial for his
life for the murder Of Mrs. Katherine
J. Adams
But thirteen minutes suffced for, the
jury to reach a verdict of acquittal at
the close of the trial which has last
ed four weeks, the first trial, which
resulted in Molineux's conviction and
sentence, having been prolonged for
about three months.
The verdict, which was confidently
anticipated, was greeted with an in
stantly suppressed outbreak of ap.
plause, Justice Lambert having deliv-
cred a. tern admonition that no dem
onstration would be permitted.
MOllneux, who was brought into the
court room as soon as it was known
that the jury had agreed, was appar-
emily as unconcerned as he has been
throughout the trial and gave no evil
dence of emotion when the words that
established his innocence were pro-
nounced. His aged father, General
Molineux, was deeply affected and
could with difficulty respond to the
greetings of friends who pressed for
ward to offer their congratulations
Immediately after the rendering of
the verdict the prisoner was formally
discharged from custody and left the
court room with his father and coun-
sci. In passing out of the building
the three were cheered by a great
crowd that gathered in anticipation of
the acquittal. After removing his ef-
fects from the Tombs Molineux went
to his fathers home in Brooklyn,
where he was again cheered by a
large crowd.

In detail the reply denies that the

contrary, rates have been reduced
since the agreement became effective.
