that DR.. Hyde had purchased cyanide
of potassium in five grain capsules.
Dr. Hyde claimed he bought the cy-
ande capsules to kill reaches in his
office.
Two days before the death OF Col.
SWope, Moss Hunton, d cousin, of the
millionaire philanthropist, died at the
SWope home following a stroke of ap-

CELESTIAL SPECTACLE.
Harvard Observers Say Comet Will Be
at Finest Friday Night.

Cambridge. May 1.-THE morning
observations Of Halley's comet by the
Harvard observers closed today with
another disappointing effort and for
the next few days Views Of the visitor
can only be made in broad daylight.
Whether Halley's comet will come
sufficiently bright to be seen at noon
day tomorrow or Wednesday either
before or after the sun, is a matter OF
conjecture. s /,
If the moon were not quite SO bright
on Wednesday evening there might be
a chance to see the end of the comets
tail as it scurried down behind the
western horizon after the sun. 1t will
certainly be an object of interest on
Thursday evening. while on Friday
night Halley's comet should be one OF
the finest celestial spectacles in the last
quarter of a century, rivalling the
great comet of 1882.
The transit will be visible to observ-
ers equipped with dark glass in Japan.
Australia and India, or practically
throughout the region from Long. 100
west to Long. 80 east.
The earth win pass through the
comets tail Wednesday, but as that
appendage is believed to be composed
of something far thinner than the
nearest approach Of making vacuum.

mers do not look for any III effects.

NAMES RECE|VERS,
Judge Kincaid's Action
Result Of the Fight
Against The Hooking Valley
Road by Coal Operators.
The Petitioners Complain Of Re-
bates and Discrimination.

Columbus, Ohio. May 16.-Judge
Kincaid OF the court of common pleas
has appointed receivers for the Hook
ing Valley Railroad.
Bond for each receiver was fixed at
100000 which was given by a surety
company.
The suit for receivers was filed by
minority stockholders who claimed
among other things that rebates We're
given; that money had been fisap-
propriated; that different coal COM
panies had been favored in the ship
ment of coal.
The action of the court is the result
of a fight against tho Hooking Valley
Railway Co, instituted by Independent
coal operators of the Hooking Valley
of whose organization, the Ohio Coal
Operators Association, Mr.. Warrington
is commissioner and secretary The
operators complained that the Hooking
Valley has been discriminating against
them in various ways and that through
its ownership and control of the To-
ledo & Ohio Central Railroad, the
Zanes Valley and Western, the Kama
Wha and Michigan, and the Sunday
Creek Co., and its subsidiary COM
panies constituted nillegal monopoly.
Many of these facts were recited in
the petition filed by Mr.. Warrington
and Mr.. Westfall.
The appointment of the receivers for
the Hooking Valley practically means
that several other companies also go
into receivers hands
Attorneys for the Hooking Valley
Railway Co, will apply to federal
judge, John Safer, tomorrow for an
order to head off the receivership.
Judge kinkead appointed John M
Sheets, formerly attorney general of
Ohio, and Henry j. Booth, a Columbus
attorney. as receivers for the Hooking
Valley under bond Of 100000.
