Cincinnati May 13.--As the result of
drinking what they thought was whiss-
ky. five men employed at the Adams
Express warehouse in this city were
poisoned tonight, one dying shortly
after arriving at the hospital. The
other four men are in a serious condi-
ton.
A bottle was received from Memphis

this city. In handling the bottle, ]. b.
Flicker discovered a leak and remark
ed, This is a nice bottle of booze, and
too good to let go to waste" One of
the men procured tin cup and each
took a drink.
They became violently i'll in a few
moments and were rushed to the city
hospital. Flicker died on arriving there,
while William Stevens, George Ehrle
Louis Burbank and William Daily are
reported in a serious condition.
When seen tonight Mrs. Noble
said:
81 can't say what the bottle con-

by a woman who is employed by a
relative of mine in Memphis. She Wis
tied me three weeks ago and since that
time L have been receiving packages

is Jealousy on her part"
Mrs. Noble is employed at the Hon
ing Hotel here. 1t was found that the
bottle contained arsenic and whisky.

FIGHT OVER RATES
LUMBERMEN AND RAILWAYS Of
FER EVIDENCE.
THE COMPLIMENTS DECLARE
LUMBER RATES HAVE INCREASED
AS OTHERS DECREASED.

1t Is Also Alleged That the Chair

Association Dictated Rates-The
Roads Deny This-Fix Their own
Rates-ROads North of the Ohio
Get the Full Rate-ROnds Deny
other Allegations of the Com
pIainants.
Macon, May 13.-The hearing in the
case of the Georgia Sawmill Associa-
ton versus the Southeastern Freight
Association and the several defendant
railroads composing it was resumed to-
day.
Counsel for compliments offered ad-
ditional affidavits to show that while
the rate per ton per mile on other
commodities had steadily decreased, the
rate on lumber per ton per mile had
steadily increased.
Copies of circular letters of S. F.
Parrott, chairman of the Southeastern
Freight Association, were introduced
to show that as the agent of the COM
bined defendant roads, he dictated
rates agreed upon by an executive COM
mittee.
Fix Their own Rates.
Counsel for the defendant railroads
| presented dispositions to show that the
railroads fixed their own rates and not
the Southeastern Freight Association.
Statements were also presented to SHOW
that the railroads north of the Ohio
| exacted the full rate on the through
rate from Georgia mills to points be-
yond the Ohio river from Cairo to Gin
| cinnati, leaving to the lines south of
| the Ohio IA to mills per ton per mile
as their share.
Defendants claimed that the freight
| charge on lumber was not equal to the
price of lumber at the mills, as claimed
| by the compliments, and claimed that
| the rates on lumber were lower than
| the maximum rate on other commodl-
| ties. 1t was also claimed by the de-
PENDANTS that the quality of lumber
shipped from Georgia mills was of
greater value and better quality than
claimed by the plaintiffs. 1t was also
claimed by the defendants that lum-
Der had not been singled out for an
| advance in rates, as an advance had
been made in the rates on other COM
modities.
Back to the Old Rate.
Finally the defendants claimed that
| the proposed advance in lumber rates
was practically restoration of the rate
| in force in 1891, when the price of lum-
Der was about the same as it is now.
A plea of non jurisdiction having
been raised by the defendants, the case
in it's final determination hangs upon
| the issue raised by the questions in
volved in the demurrer of the defend
| ants

JAPAN MAKING READY
TO FIGHT RUSSIA.
Reports ~ Extensive Preparations
Received by Steamer


Received by steamer.
Victoria, B. c., May 1S.-According
to advices received by the steamer
Empress of India, Japanese arsenals
were being worked day and night,
provisions were being concentrated,
coal stored on Tspima Island, and on
all sides it was evident that Japan,
doubling the extent of Russia's with
drawal from Manchuria, was prepar-
ing for war.
The Hon. Sidney Fisher, Canadian
minister of agriculture, who was one
OF the passengers by the steamer, and
who had been in close touch with
japanese royalty and officialdom, says
the war feeling in Japan is very
strong, and warlike preparations were
in view. The massing of Russian
troops on the banks of the Yalu, on
the pretense that protection is being
accorded to timber concessionairies,
was causing strong feeling in Japan,
this being regarded particularly as a
menace to Japan.
The destruction by fire of the powder
factory at Tokiofu has led to sinister
rumors that Russian spies were con-
nected with the disaster.
Russia continues making extensive
military preparations. The North
China News reports that there has
been a continuous flow of Russian
troops travelling by train from Hardin
to Port Arthur, while other large
bodies have been moving to the east
ern borders of Manchuria, camping in
the vicinity of the Yalu river which
divides that country from Corea.
The warlike movements are causing
great alarm to Chinese officials, and
an unnamed Chinese official is quoted
as saying that the Russians are pre-
pairing for the inevitable struggle with
Japan, a day which all Chinese officials
believe to be not far distant.

TRAGEDY RESULTS
FROM GOSSIPS' TALK.

Petersburg, Va, May 19.-Mrs. Jas
per F. Gwaltney, a 17-year-old wife
and mother, crazed by jealousy, to-day
killed her 9-months-old infant with
morphine and then attempted to COM
NIT suicide by the same means.
The attempt failed, and tonight she
was arrested by the police and is in
Jail awaiting the result of the coronor's
inouest. The tragedy is the work of
gossips, who told Mrs. Gwaltney that
her husband had been seen walking
with a former sweetheart.

"op Lawrence Names Evils That
Should BE Looked To.
Boston, May 13.-At the 11Sth annual
convention of the Episcopal Church in
the diocese of Massachusetts, here, to-
day. Bishop William Lawrence. in his
address, said:
So far as statistics can show, it is
doubtful if the church is more than
keeping pace with the population. The
ministry is not apparently increasing
In numbers or power. A great portion
of the intelligent men and leaders of
our communities have no active inter-
est in the church. There is a great
mass of fine character and of Christian
temper outside the church. Infidelity,
sincere and insincere, is all about us.
More than that, the interest in COM
merclal, material, social and intellectu-
al life is gaining a stronger hold on
the people. The tests of life among
many are in social and financial sue
cess Sport and amusement have made
great inroadS on our Sunday congrega-
lions. Below all these influences are
the lower standards of taste and the
grosser immoralities. The power of
strong drink has it's clutch upon our
cities, their people and government;
lust is firmly intrenched; gambling is
unsettling habits of industry: many
forms of temptation are undermining
the characters of hosts of youth. All
these influences are potent enemies of
the Christian faith"
In view Of such conditions, the Bish-
op deprecated the discussion now going
on in diocesan conventions of the ques-
ton whether the name of the church
should be changed.

for Examination.

Lorain, o., May 1S.-As result OF
the disagreement between physicians as
TO the condition of the body of Agatha
Reichlin when it was examined after

sons are ready to swear that there

the woman. indicating that she had
been choked. These witnesses are said
to be DR.. G. e. French, coroner of the
court, and S. L. Koch, captain of the
police department.
DR.. Cox, who made the post-mortem
examination, testified at the coroner's
inquest that there were no finger marks
on the woman's throat.

ALL AFTER COTTON.
Tremendous Excitement and IA Boost
to Prices.

to Prices.
New York, May 13.-Tremendous ex-
citement pervaded the cotton market
to-day as a result of the sensational
advance in Liverpool, which came
about 10 to 16 points higher than had
been expected.
The local market started IS to 81
points higher on the near months and
4 to IA on the late months under a
rush of shorts to cover. The decline
of yesterday had attracted sales and
these sellers bought actively this
morning. During the first few min
utes prices were advanced a trifle fur
Their on some positions, but were al
most Immediately weakened by a
wave of selling for profits. This sell
ing was encouraged by the indiffer-
ence of New Orleans, favorable
weather and fair receipts.
The advance at Liverpool was at
tributed by cables 70 demand in the
absence of selling and the strength of
the spot situation. 1t was also thought
that the operations of the local bull
clique had been transferred to that
market
Noon found prices % to 80 points up
on the near months and ? to 9 points
