BULLET LODGED
IN HIS HEAD
John Quincy Adams Alleged to Have
Shot Himself in Burlington House
Last Night.

Burlington, Dec. l6.--Following pro-
traeted spree, a man who says that his
name is John Quincy Adams and who
is supposed to hail from Georgia shot
himself last night about Ii 80 o'clock in
the home of Mrs. Emiline McNulty on
Battery street. He was Immediately re-
moved to the Mary Fletcher hospital,
and is not considered to be in danger
Gus condition. He admitted the shoot
ing before witnesses and said that he en-
deavored to kill himself because OF the
infidelity of his wife.
According to the story, told by those
who were present, Adams has been
drinking heavily for the past three
weeks. Mrs. McNulty only knows the
man through her relations fifth him
in buying vegetables. Yesterday he
came to the house and she gave him his
dinner, Later on lie ate supper and then
lay down on couch. Harold McNulty
and some other boys had been in the
room playing dominoes but at the time
of the shooting young McNulty was in
the room alone with Adams. He thought
the man asleep, when he heard a shot
and on looking at Adams saw blood
running from a wound in his face. He
Immediately told his mother and medi-
cal aid was summoned. Patrolman Bar
ry was ons the beat and on being told of
the trouble, telephoned for the police
ambulance.
Drs. d. j. Nolan and +. w Baylies at.
tended the man, who retained conscious
ness. He had 23-calibre revolver in
his pocket and one chamber was dis
charged When Mrs. McNulty was called
she rushed into the room and seized the
gun, which she afterwards turned over
to the police. No suspicion OF foul play
is connected with the shooting. The bull
let had evidently entered the mans face
near the nose but did not reach the
brain.

MEXICAN CONGRESS ADJoURNs.


Mexico City, Dec. l6.-From now un-
til April 2, President Huerta will be
obliged to conduct the government with
out Congress, as that specially created
organization was formally adjourned
yesterday. Its most important acts dur
ing the session were the ratification of
the presidents assumption of power
over the various departments of the gov
ernment after dissolving the preceding
Congress, and regranting to the presi-
dent this same power, which gives Cen
eral Huerta, until Congress convenes
again, practically the sway of dictator.
Altogether the new Congress was un-
obtrusive, interfering not at all with the
executive ideas of government. Its most
notable act, aside from those directly
connected with the executive plans, was
the ratification of concession to Bel
gian syndicate to construct 5000 miles
of narrow gauge railway.
The rebel General Villas treatment of
the Spaniards at chihuahua has aroused
the keen sympathies of the colony here.
The Spanish minister, Senor Cologan y
Cologan, sent to Washington yesterday
through the American charge, Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, his thanks for the ef
forts made by the American government
to relieve his countrymen at that place.
The situation around Tampico is de-
clared by the government to be satisfac-
tory. Late railway reports indicate that
the rebels in their retreat took away
only four locomotives and enough cars
to make up four trains.>
Reports from other parts of Mexico
the usual number of minor en-
and rebel depredations.

HAD VARIED CAREER.
Col. James H. walbridge Died at Ben.
nington Yesterday.

Bennington. Dec. l6-Col. James II
Walbridge, one of the few surviving regi-
mental commanders of Vermont volun-
teers in the Civil war, died at his home
in North Bennington yesterday.
Col. Walbridge had been sailor, Cal
ifornia gold prospector, pioneer printer,
member of the vigilance committee that
restored order in San Francisco, organ
izer OF company in the first fighting
regiment that Vermont sent into the
Civil war, and an associate of the late
Trenor w. Park, who as president of
the company developed the Panama rail-
road and sold the property to Count de
Lesseps when the preliminary steps were
taken in the construction of the canal.
He was born in a small manufacturing
hamlet locally known as Hinsdillyille,
about two miles west of the village. His
father. Stebbins Walbridge, was a
farmer and woolen manufactures and
the son while only small boy learned
the trade of operator. When only l6
years of age he joined the crew of a
mackerel schooner which cruised off the
Massachusetts coast and followed the
business for two seasons, being en-
pIoyed during the winter at his fathers
woolen mill.
At the age of 20 he went to Spring
field, Mass, and worked for three years
in the paper mills of that city. From
Springfield he went to California,
worked for time in the placer mines
and panned out gold enough to start him
jim the printing business in San Francisco.
He purchased and operated for a num-
Der of years the first power job press of
that city.
Col Walbridge became member of
the vigilance committee in May, 1856,
when that law and order body was reor-
ganized, following the assassination of
james King of William, editor of the
San Francisco Evening Bulletin.
Returning from California in 1857, Col.
Walbridge purchased the farm at Ben
nington Falls originally settled by his
great grandfather and was there resid-
ing when he entered the Civil war. He
served from the first battle of Bull Run
until April, 1864, when he was discharged
for disability, having contracted spinal
trouble, from which he never fully re-
covered.
For l5 years following his return from
the war, he held, the position of assistant
assessor and department collector of in
ternal revenue and later was for about
year in the employ of the Panama Rail
road company.
Col. Walbridge was twice married. His
first wife, whom he married in March,
1862, was Miss Eliza A. Burgess of Hoos-
ick, N. Y. She died while her husband
was in the army, and in February, 1857,
he married Mrs. Della Bruce of White
Creek, n. Y.
Other than nephews, the only surviv-
ing relative is his son, George Hicks
Walbridge, graduate of Cornell univer-
sity, in the engineering department, now
residing in New York.

PRISONER SHOUTS
HE WAS NOT INSANE
Hans Schmidt Made Scene in Court
Room and interrupted His Law
yer, Who Was Outlining
His Case.

New York, Dec. l6.--Hans Schmidt
sprang to his feet in the court room to-
day and vehemently denied that he was
insane when he killed Anna Aumuller.
TITS lie," he shouted, brandishing his
fists. 81 protest against that"
The prosecution rested its case to-day,
and Judge olcott, attorney for the de-
fense, outlined the case to the jury. 'T
will show" he said, "that this defendant
has been many years, is now and always
will be mentally unbalanced" He was
interrupted there by the outburst of the
prisoner.
The defense will lay stress on the evil
dence that Schmidts irrationality has
been shown since his arrest and during
the trial and also upon the testimony
regarding the mental condition of the
prisoner by his family and the alienists.

MONEY WAS MISSING
But All the Other Articles in Recovered
Handbag Were Undisturbed.

One of the more complicated of mys-
teries that confront the authorities every
now and then is the vehicle for good
deal of speculation at police headquar-i
ters these days. Last week prominent
Montpelier young woman dropped her
handbag on North Main street and did
not discover her loss until an hour after
wards. A diligent. if somewhat tardy,
search failed to disclose any signs OF
the missing bag. Its contents included
$40 in bills, loose change, bracelet,
diamond ring, rings with other costly
settings and mileages, two in number.
Also, the owners name was inscribed on
a card within.
As the bag was not returned within
the two or three days Immediately fol
lowing, the young woman advertised her
loss in the newspaper, offering a liberal
reward for the return of the bag. Yes
terday a Summer street youth came to
the police station with the bag and con-
tents intact, with the exception of the
bills and small change. Every other
article of value remained undisturbed.
The boy said he found the bag near his
home on Summer street. 1t lay i'm a
somewhat sheltered place near the fence
which skirts the yard of neighbor, he
narrated, and it was only by chance
that he noticed it as he walked along
the street. The finder is an estimable
lad, and the officers have every reason
TO believe his story. They still hold out
a hope that the original finder of the
bag will return the money to police
headquarters. A liberal reward is of
fered in this connection. but meanwhile
the officers say they will spare no pains
in attempting TO locate the money.

The rise OF Eva one-quarter of a
point was the only feature of the stock
and bond exchange this morniRg. The
sale of five shares of Eva was re-
ported as being made between boards,
the stock going at 1850. In the trans
actions made during the session no
new prices developed. McBryde went
at $50 and Oahu at 1850. The sales
were all small.
One of the surprises of the street
has been the sudden demand for Ho-
nolnlu Consolidated OH, and it's con-
sequent gain. It is reported that the
stock is bringing Lbs in San Francis
co, assessment paid: and it is known
that several hundred of the shares
have been sold here at prices consid-
cradle over a dollar. One sale of a
few hundred shares was made at LILO,
and it is understood that it is now
well advanced over that price.
The reason given for tho sudden
gain in the stock, which has been
made in spite of a ten cent assess
ment, ! is the good physical condition
of the company, and the bright pros
poets Of It being in a position to pay
dividends soon. The reason for the
assessment, as given, was to discharge
an encumbfaIlce on the property.
