THE WILL ADMITTED.
Rice Will Of 1896 Goes in to Show In
terest Of Witnesses.

New York, Jan. 31.-Athur B. Cohen
was recalled, today. at the trial of AL
bert T. Patrick. Cohen was clerk for
w. NJ. Rice and was his business rep
resentative in Houston, Texas. He tes-
titled. yesterday, that he never heard
that Patrick had any business relations
with Rice and that the signature to the
will of 1900 was forgery. Cohen was
cross-eXamined, today. He said he was
a brother-in-law of Emanuel Raphael
of Houston. Texas. He collected rents
for the Rice estate in Texas. amounting
to about $1,000 a month. The witness
said that he had discussed the case
with Capt. Baker, that he knew that
Baker believed Rice's name had been
forged. that he had seen and compared
the alleged forgeries at the office of the
district attorney and that he knew
handwriting experts had pronounced
the signatures forgeries. He denied
however, that Baker had influenced him
as 10 the case. a4r... &C.
At the afternoon session, Thomas w.
Ford of Houston, VIM. Rucker of
Grocsback, Texas, Frederick L. Blinn
grandnephew of Rice. and VIM. NJ
Rice. Jr, were successfully called and
examined. The object of their testi-
mony was to further discredit the dis
puted signatures of Rice and to show
that as friends and relatives of the
dead man, they had never heard of
Patrick as counsel for Rice.
Every time the will of 1896 was men
toned Mr.. Osborne made motion to
admit it into evidence. The recorder
ruled against him every time Finally,
just before adjournment, Mr.. Osborne
made another last attempt.
The recorder admitted the will on the
ground that it was competent to show
the interest of the witnesses. He said
he bad refused to admit it before, be-
cause Mr.. Osborne had offered it as
proof of the motive for the words of
Mr.. Rice and. as such, the prosecution
could raise proper foundation by
proving that Patrick had had access to
the will before the death of Mr.. Rice.
Court adjourned until Monday.

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer from Catarrh Knows
That SaIves, Lotion, Washes, Sprays
and Douches Do Not Cure.

Powders, lotions, salves, sprays, and
inhalers cannot really cure Catarrh,
because this disease is blood disease,
and local applications, if they accom-
plish anything, at ALL simply give tram
sient relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and trachea tries to relive the
system by secreting large quantities of
mucous, the discharge sometimes clos
ing up the nostrils, dropping into the
throat. causing deafness by closing
the Eustachian tubes. and after n
time causing catarrh of stomach or
serious throat and lung troubles.

ADMIRAL ScHLEY
Leaves Louisville for Nashville After
Delightful Visit.

Louisville, Jan. 31.-The visit of Adj
niral and Mrs. Schley in this city came
to an end at 3 o'clock, this afternoon.
when they left over the Louisville 4
Nashville railroad for Nashville. A
crowd of peonle was at the station to
cheer him as he boarded the train. AS
the cars pulled out of the depot the
crowd gave three cheers and the adj
miral stood on the rear platform and
waved his handkerchief.
Admiral and Mrs. Schley wearied by
the constant strain of entertainment,
spent the day quietly at the home OF
their host, Marion e. Taylor. where
they received few callers during the
morning.

plete Early this morning the Pitts
burg police We're notified that a horse
and sleigh had been stolen early
Thursday morning, from the harm of a
Parrysville farmer.
Frequently during the dav reports
were received at headquarters that two
men and woman, the description of
whom tailed with the Biddles and Mrs.
Soffel. had been seen going through
towns along the route from the descrip-
ton furnished it was clear to the po-
lice that they were the fugitives and
detectives were immediately sent after
them.
The Butler officials We're at once noti-
fled and. by telephoning to the sur
rounding small towns, 1t was learned
that the party had turned away from
the direct road into Butler and were
going through the wooded country to
the north of Butler.
The Butler officials went in the direc-
ton in two good sleighs provided with
| fast horses. They soon were on the
trail of the fugitives and at O'Clock
wired the Pittsburg police that they
had learned they were only 80 minutes
behind the sleigh and that their horse
was tired. From this time on it was
only a question of short time until the
capture was made.
The officers and prisoners are expect
ed to arrive in this city sometime to-
night on n special train.
Mrs. Soffel made n statement after
her capture in which she said she be-
came involved in the affair through her
sympathy for Ed Biddle She said she
| now realized her mistake and wished
she was dead. She said she did not
shoot herself but was the first one shot
by the detectives.
The officers say the woman was arm
ed but do not think she fired any shots
DIR. J. E. Byers made the following
statement: THE wound of all three
prisoners may result fatally"
The bullet which struck Mrs. Soffel
appears to have been self-infiicted.
From my examination of Mrs. Sof-
| feIs wound I think she may live but
her exposure to the cold and the ex-
element and nervous shock of this af-
ternoon may so complicate matters
that her breast wound may prove fatal.

ordered a rece.vcrship for Zion lace in
dusfries and. Monday, will enter a decree
appointing Elmer Washburn to the po-
si1Ion OF receiver under bond of S7O.0Oa
The court i'm a lengthy decision of the
case, which was instituted by Samuel
Stevenson. brcther-in-law of John Al
cxander Dowis. declared that Dowies
church, the Christian Catholic Church.
was a curious mixture of religion and
business. He held that Stevenson had by
undue influence exerted by Dowis as
head of the church. been led to turn over
to Dowie practically everything he had in
the world, and held that Stevenson was
entitled to at least 500, 900 from Dowie or
the lace industry. which. he said. were
practically the same thing.
The court directed that Attorney
Reeves file an amended bill in order that
the stockholders of the lace industries
may be made parties to the suit
The position Of the stockholders. the
court said. was not plain. The evidences
showed that they had paid over S4OO,0O
for stock but that the. transaction was
of such a character that Dowie alone
seemed to hold everything of value.
