CORNELL GOES ON TRIAL TOMORROW Plea of Former Jeopardy Has
 Been Filed WEATHERLY IS THE JUDGE Bessemer Board of Trade to Have an Important Meeting at City Hall
 Tuesday Afternoon-com.
 mittee Is to Report.


 Bessemer, October 7.-(Special1-1,be famous case of the state ys. 1T T Corn. well, who is charged with embezzlement Ill the Failure of the Bessemer Savings Ddhh apout two years ago, will be taken up III the Bessemer city court Monday mo1ning.
 Judge William Jackson being incoo- petent to try the case, on account of his having been a depositor of the bank at the time 1t failed James WeatberIv of Birmingham has been appointed by Clerk E A. Dudley to preside during the trial of the case.
 Ire lew provides that in case of the incompetency of the judge a substitute Is selected by the attorneys on each side ana In the event they fail to agree the appointment must be made by the clerk of the court In this instance the ,t torneys failed to agree on a substitute for the trial of the case, and the duty de- vplved upon Clerk Dudley. His cholc, of JaiDes W eatherly has pleased all part,as coneeIn ned. and MT. Dudley has been gen. erally complimented upon his good selec- tion.
 About two weeks ago Attorneys Frank $. White & Sons and w K. Smith. filed pleadings in the case with the clerk of the city court, claiming that Cornwell has already been acquitted of the charge of embezzlement and cannot again be jeopardized on the same evidence as was presented In the trial of a former case which, 1t is claimed, is identical with the cases remaining to be tried and which are down on the docket for next week.
 It will be remembered that Cornwell was indicted in fifteen separate cases all charging embezzlement, the only differ ence in the charges being the amounts stipulated in each indictment as having been embedded by the defendant All the indictments charge the embezzlement of total of something like s200,OO0
 In the trial of the first case about a year ago the jury found the defendant not guilty, and 1t is claimed by the de- fendant's attorneys that since all the evi- dence that will be brought out in the trial of the remaining cases was used in the trial of the former case, the re- maining cases should be mol pressed on the ground of former jeopardy.

 Chafte.

The thaw of last night removed q
 good deal of the ice and snow from
 the streets, but it will take some tim
 before the public ways will be SO that
 people can walk on them with anr
 measure of safety. The city has an
 appropriation of $35,OO0 for street
 work and before the, frost is out of the ground at least 5000 of it will b.
 used up. It would take the whole of it to keep the streets in proper condi- ton through the winter, but the oth- cials could not afford to spend 1t for that purpose. One good thing will re- suit from the unsatisfactory condition of the streets under the business ad-
 ministration. It will put a stop to se- were condemnation of future boards fin case people don't like the condition of the streets What many are won dering at now is how they were kept so well in the past at such small outlay, seeing that business admin istration failed to improve the situa- ton with considerably more means. It is the easiest thing ill the world to rail at officials about the streets. but
 quite difficult task to maintain them in manner to suit even reasOn-
 able citizens. From now on business
 men like Mayor Elton, H. l.. Wade
 and others will have keener concep
 tion of the hardships that confront
 municipal boards. especially the de-
 partment of public works. than the!
 ever would have if they had not an op-
 portunity to try what they could ac- complish in that line themselves.

 man was working away as usual when the splinter flew from the piece

 Thomas Kelly: "'rhe proper place for storehouses is in the immediate VI cinity of the depot and if you convert all the land in that locality into park where will the storehOuses go! Leave that property they are talking of for park alone. never mind widening South Willow street. and instead open street opposite the entrance to tho new freight station across to the cor ner of West Main and State streets. This will. avoid an expense of not less than $JOO.OOO and will meet the re- auirements of the city much better than what has been suggested. and would not cost over Sjn.Wn.

MRS. STANFORD WAS MURDERED
Honolulu Police Assert That Guilty PersOna Are in san Francisco.


 Persons Are in San Francisco.
 HONOLULU. March S.-The police here are of the opinion that if Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford was murdered the guilty persons are in San Fran cisco. High Sheriff Henry has ex- pressed this view
 It is pointed out that the opinion of the physicians taken in connection with the result of tie chemical andy sis as given in evidence at the inquest indicates that to bring about a fatal result Mrs. Stanford would have to have been given one of the capsules. which it has been admitted contained small quantity of strychnine. and a dose of bicarbonate of soda at the same time and that both would be re- quired to bring together enough strych- nine to be fatal.
 According to the estimates of the chemists. the strychninc in the dose of bicarbOnate of soda and the capsule combined was only onetwelfth of a grain. unless the strychnine was all at the top of the bottle and was taken when Miss Berner poured out the dose of soda. Mrs. Stanford's failure to comment on the bitter taste of. the medicine is. however. held as disprov- ing this theory. The physicians say that onetwelfth of grain of strych- nine might possibly be fatal to per son of Mrs. Stanford's age.
 Deputy High Sheriff Rawlins. who will accompany the remains to San Francisco. will take the trip for the purpose of consulting the police of that city.

lhA pENslON BILL.
Several School 1sincipals Appeared
 In Its Favor.

The hearing on the pension bill for Waterbury school teachers which took place yesterday at Hartford was quite lively, and in the discussion it devel- Oped that there is a question whether it was properly advertised If this should turn out to be true the chair man said it would have to be thrown out. Senator Phelan opposed the measure and stated that at least fifty teachers had told him that they fa- vored it through fear of mourning the displeasure of Superintendent Tinker. The advocates of the bill were asked by the committee if it were true that teachers would be obliged to join the association, and if the end in view was to retire all the older teachers at thu expense of the others. The former question was answered in the negative. but the latter was denied.
 Those who favored the passage Os the bill included City Attorney Kel- lOgg. Commissioners Mcdonald and Larkin. Representatives R. \. Blakes, lee and $. J. Marsh. Attorney M. J.. Byrne. Superintendent Tinker. J. F.. Madigan. Prof CondOn and Principals Agnes Fitzpatrick. Platt. Miss Finch. Miss BOssidy. Miss Clark. Miss Moore and Miss, O'Neill.
 Commissioner LawlOr and Senator Phelan were the principal opponents. and spectators claim that it was bat tic royal in behalf of the taxpayers and for the right to teach in the public schools without being cOerced into join- ing an association with the odds very much in favor of the opposition so far as weight of argument went. but the indications somewhat favorable to the other side winning out ill the end.
