REPORT ON WILCOX ESTATE.
 The commissioners on the estate Of the late Augustus c. Wilcox, the for mer dry goods dealers, who are Burton Mansfield and John Hillard, have just completed their work. Two claims were presented against the estate, one by the widow, amounting to $30,00O, and another of $So0O by Miss Agnes Wilcox, the sted daughter Of the deceased.
 The commissioners have decided to allow the claim of the step-daughter in full. The opposition to this claim has been withdrawn within few days and it is probable that she will receive that amount in full.
 The commissioners have found dur ing their investigation that the deceas- ei dry goods dealer deeded seven houses in Little Orange street to his wife about eight years ago. The claim of $30,000 held by the widow will be al lowed minus the value of the Little Or ange street property, When these houses were turned over to the widow property on that street was far more valuable than at the present time The widow will probably receive about s20,- 000.
 The case of Miss Agnes Wilcox has excited considerable interest. Although it was always understood that she had been adopted by the late Augustus c. Wilcox, no record of the adoption has been found. The records of this city, Madison, Guilford, and New York have been searched but no trace of the adoption has been found.
 The commissioners and the executor, Samuel D. Chittenden of Madison, have found that the estate has been enriched by valuable property in Washington D. C. It is located in one of the best residential sections of the national cap ital. The commissioners will report to the probate court in a few days.

Berlin, Nov. Increasing pressure
is being brought to lear on the gov
eminent with the object of opening
the frontiers for the importation OF
foreign animals and the relaxation of
regulations created to exclude meat
exports, or something which will af-
ford relief from the excessive prices of
meat, which have now risen to levels
which are prohititive for the laborins
people and which are seriously affect
ing the resources of middle class fam
lilies. The magistracy of Berlin. for
instance, in its petition to the govern
ment, says that if the prices of meat
continue as high as they are now, the
salaries of city employees must be
raised, because their present salaries
were based on time when the cost of
food was much less than at present.
The petitioners also say the expenses
OF municipal institutions have already
increased S750,0O0 during the current
year, which is attributed wholly to the
higher price Of meat. The best beef
retails at A cents per pound and other
meats are proportionately high.
The wholesale price in German mar
kets are Is to 25 per cent. higher than
in those of neighbOring countries;
hence the people who advocate govern
ment action assert that the scarcity of
animals is due to the closed frontiers
and exclusion of many kinds of for
eign dressed meats, the German farm
ers being seemingly unable to raise
enough animals for their country's re-
quirements.
Carl Marx of Frankfort on the Main,
chairman of the national butchers as
ISOLATION, and ]. H. Schuchmaker, head
master of the Hamburg butchers guilu,
have had lengthy conference with
Agricultural Minister Won Podbielski
in an effort to remedy the situation.
They pointed out that the butchers,
though selling at high prices, are I'M
allie to make as much profit as by
larger sales and lower prices. The en-
tire trade, therefore, asked for an al
deviation of the conditions that limit
the consumption of meat. Herr Won
Podbielski recognized the hope that
German farmers will soon be able to
depress prices through an increased
supply of animals. Should this not
take place, he added, the government
would consider the adoption of rene
dies. Home Secretary Posadowsky in
the reichstag, during the meat debate,
affirmed that the farmers were able to
supply the country's needs, and this
statement is taken by the Fleischer
zeitung as meaning that the govern
ment has already reached the conclu-
sion that no action is necessary.
The liberal and socialist parties are
naturally making every thing possible
out of the situation in preparing tor
the general election.

MOL!NEUX
DENIES ALL
ON STAND

New York Nov. For the first
time in his two trials or murder Ro-
land 3. Molineux took the stand in bis
own behalf yesterday. The young de-
PENDANT decided that he could mater
tally help his case by testifying and
it was at his own request that he was
called by his attorney, Ex-Governor
Black.
The courtroom was crowded with
people anxious to hear the unheard
side of the case when the jury filed
into their seats
In quiet, almost inaudible tone
Mr.. Black began his address to the
jury. He said that he would show
that the prisoner never purchased the
cyanide Of mercury and that he never
hired a letter box or knew Of any con-
tents or letters received at such box
and never wrote any Of the disputed
handwritings, such as the poison adj
dress. He then called Molineux to
the stand. With almost a sDrightIy
step the defendant went to the wit
ness chair amid a buzz of excitement.
After the opening questions and an
sWers MOlineux said he had had sew
eral trifing disagreemnts with Harry
Cornish at the Knickerbocker Athletic
club over the admission of certain
men. He said further that any ami
mostly he had against Cornish had
died completely out of his mind
Did you ever mail the poison pack
age?" he was asked.
NO" was his answer.
He further declared that he had
caused no one to mail it. He was
asked If he was familiar with cyanide
)f mercury, and said that he was not.
When the address on the poison pack
age was shown to Molineux he said
hat he had never seen it before When
us counsel handed him the Cornish
md Barnet letters he asserted that he
lad not written the letters or adj
lressed the envelopes.
At the afternoon session Prosecutor
Osborne and Molineux threshed over
he old trouble between Cornish and
lolIneux in the Knickerbocker club.
ne cross examination was not COM
Ieted when the court adjourned.

LOOKS LIKE MURDER
But Coroner's jury Could Not so
Decide.

Palmyra, Wis, Nov 1.-Develop-
ments in the Wickingson case lead the
authorities to think that there is little
doubt but that the two brothers and
their sister were murdered for their
money. It has been discovered that at
the time the fire was first seen a
wagon drove away from the house
The driver did not make any effort to
alarm any one that the house was on
ire, although the flames were burst
ing forth from the upper windows.
While the coroner's jury was under
the impression that murder had been
done, still in the absence of evidence
1t was forced to return a verdict of
death from suffocation. Search of the
ruins brings to light large sums OF
money in tin and iron boxes. The
body OF Miss Wickingson was found
III the basement, although the room in
which she slept was in another part
of the house.
