Just prior to the opening of tlio session

appeared at the corrldorn of the building
and rcnowcd her charges against him.
Mr. Qnynor , who was present , said ho
did not know the woman.
Cnsslus M. Ollhcrt of the United States
Engineer corps , was flrwt placed on the stand
for crows-examination by Lawyer Abram J.
Hose , counsel for' the contractors. Nose

his Identification of each of the defendants
and then asked fnr the- production of Un
original contract between the government
and the accused contractors.
Commissioner Shloldn ruled that the coun
sel for the accused contractors would have
to Introduce Its copy of the contract. If ho
wanted the paper as evidence.
Hose then went Into a minute examina
tion of hlB witness as to his personal knowl
edge ? of the opening of HIP bids for the con
tracts ; of the presentation of claims on the
contracts ; of certain checks said to have
been l ? ucd by Captain O M. Carter , the
engineer In charge prior to July 10 , 1S9C.
llnrnett Oliji-nlN to Uui-NtiiiiiN.
United States District Attorney Hurnett
objected , saying that the only points to bo
determined at the examination were the
Identification of the accused , and If there
was probable cause on which to hold the
men.
men.Rose bald he was endeavoring to provo
that the indictment was untrue.
Commissioner Shields said that the only
( iupstlon ti > be decided , as ho understood
the law , were the Identity and prob.ibl
cause. Notwithstanding thin ruling Hose
continued to question Captain fillletto as to
the district engineers. This was objected
to by lUirnett. Hose explained that he was
endeavoring to provo that the district
engineer has really no power to make con
tracts , and simply acts as the clerk and un
der the direct orders of the engineers. Hose
continued his examination of Oillette , but
his questions were objected to and Commis
sioner Shields ruled that they need not ho
answered , as they were Immaterial and Ir
relevant.
HOBO made a formal demand for the origi
nal contracts for the Improvement of
Savannah or Cumberland sound. The de
mand was refused because there was no
evidence to show that they arc In this dis
trict.
Rose then asked for an adjournment so
that bo could get the papers In a legal way.
This was objected to by General Burnett ,
who bald ho wanted the examination fin
ished without'delay.
StrciiKtheii tli Iilpntlllcittloii.

then asked the witness if ho had any knowl
edge of the connection of the defendant
with tbo Savannah.'Work after July,20 , 1897.
Roae objected , saying'that-tho Indictment
alleged offenses committed prior to that
date.
Commissioner Shields allowed the ques
tion to strengthen the Identification , of the
contractors.
"Ws1 , " answered Captain Gillette ; "I
havfl official communications from them and
I have paid Greene money on these con
tracts. I have had offlclat and verbal con
tracts with the Oaynors. Money was paid
for work alleged to have been done during
the month of July , before and after July 20 ,
1897. I gave the check to Greene on or
about August 1 , 1897. It was for about
J30.000. I was Inclined to keep back tome
of the money at the time. "
This ended Captain Gillette's examina
tion and then Assistant District Attor-
n-y Baldwin Introduced the ball bonds as
additional ovldeiico toward proving the Iden
tity of the accused contractors.
Commissioner Shields allowed the papers
In evidence and the government then rested
the case. The examination was adjourned

NEW YORK , Jan. 3. In the trial of
Roland II. Mollnoux for the murder of Mrs.
Katherlno J. Adams , the most Interesting
testimony Wednesday was that of John I' .
Yocum , .1 chemist nnd .1 warm friend of
Harry Cornlwh.
Ik- said any chemist could make cyanide
of mercury , the poluon which Is alleged to
have caused the death of Mrs. Ad.ims. Ho
had made It himself nnd the process was
easy. Ho took Prussian blue and yellow
oxide of mercury , boiled them together , fil
tered the mass and the precipitate contained
cyanldo of mercury. Still other drugs would
yield cyanldo of mercury. All nf the drnga
required wore what were known as dry
colors.
Mollncux , It will bo remembered , was su
perintendent of a dry color factory In New
ark. Yocum testllleil that any man known
as n chemist can produce the Ingredients
of cynnldo of wercuiy , oven without rcgl.s-
terlng his name.
Alvln A. Harpstcr , who has figured In the

DOCTOR'S PKO1MIIJCY
About ( Jraiiciitn. .
Dr. J. II , Hanaford , ono of the oldest
phyulcIuiiB In Reading , Mass. , says In the
Practical Ago : "I firmly bellevo that Mr.
Post has rendered a greater bervlco to hu
manity than nny other man living In the
matter of food ,
Ho claims , with propriety , I think that
his now food , Grape Nuts , made from the
most nourishing elements of the grains ,
coutalns nourishment In ono pound equal
to ten of meat , wheat , oats or bread.
From the acquaintance that I have had
with this unusually nutritious article , I am
[ satisfied the btatoment Is truthful and
demonstrable. I run Inclined to believe the
food will effect cousldcrablo of a revolution
In society , to the extent that it Is Intro
duced. "
This wag written by Dr. Hunaford beteral
jtuiitlis ago. The rapid spread of the use
of Grape Nuts all over the country has
demonstrated that the doctor's prophecy
has already como true , to an extent , at least.
Perhaps never before In the history of food
manufacture has such rapid progress been
made ca with GrapeNut8. . It especially ap-
pcalH to brain workers ,
All flret-cliibs grocers furnish Grape Nuts ,

MANILA. Jan. 3. 5.CO p. m. The health
olllctrs have found a native with all the
symptoms of bubonic plague , In a house In
the walled city , where two suspicious
deaths hnvo occurred. The patient has been
Isolated and every prccautlou has been
taken to prevent a spread of the disease.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. The War depart
ment Is taking steps to prevent the Intro
duction of the plague In the Philippines and
Secretary Root this morning called Into con
sultation Surgeon General Wyman of the
marlno uwpltal service to discuss the estab
lishment of n quarantine system for the
Islands. It was decided that the War de
partment should adopt toward the Philip
pines a policy llko that It pursued toward
Cuba In the matter of the protection of
health , namely , confine the maintenance of
a quarantine system to the marlno hospital
service. The report received by both the
State department and by Surgeon General
Wyman from Honolulu confirm the Asso
ciated Pre s dispatches relative to the exist
ence of the disease.
It happens , fortunately , that the marine
hospital servleci has already two quarantine
plants In the I'hlllpplnp islands , while two
of Its surgeons nro now on their way to
Manila so that llttlo delay will bo encoun
tered In beginning to draw a rigid quaran

1'ARIS , Jan. 0 The conspiracy trial before -
fore the senate , sitting as the high court ,
came to an end today , except for the sen
tences In the cases of those convicted.
Out of the Bcventy-flvo alleged conspirators
who wcro thrown Into prison five months
ago and who have been since leleased In
batches , owing to want of evidence , only
MM. neroulede , Guerln and lluffci ha\o
boon found guilty , and these three are ac
corded "extenuating circumstances , " which
reduces their punishment to detention in n
fortress or banishment. It Is understood
that the sentence will vary between fho
nnd ten years' detention. President Loubct
may extend pardons In accordance with the
Hcrcnger law In favor of first oftcndeiit.
Strong precautionary measures were taken
today In the vicinity of the senate house ,
but there wna no sign of disorder anywhere
when the judgments were rendered.
All the nationalist organs describe the
result as a fiasco for the government after
the flourish of trumpets with which It an
nounced the discovery of a great plot against
the republic.
They Insist that the whole Indictment
fizzled out and that the acquittal of M.
Uuffet'a fellow royalist prisoners disposes
cf the eharso of a royalist conspiracy.
Moreover , they declare that the evidence
pro\cd that M. Dcrouledo has always been
a political enemy of M. UulTot.
The Journal Des Debats sajs this een -
Ing.
"Tho light thrown by the testimony has
shown that the charges against the royalists
nro perfectly empty. The acquittal of M.
lluffet's co-prisoners has destroyed the
charge. "
After dwelling upon the discharge of
batch after batch of prisoners the paper
concludes in the following .sarcastic strain
"It la upon the remaining three or four
that the government can alone rely In order
to give Fiauco a retrospective shadow and
conjure up n vision of outage , revolution
and conspiracy , from which the vigilance
of the government has soared It. "
The court will pronounce sentences to
morrow. M. Guerln Is held guilty of con
spiracy and of Insults and outragcu at the
expense of tbo police , but he Is acquitted
of the charge of a premeditated attempt to
kill.

The trial has cost 800,000 francs , In addi

It Is averted that MM. Deroulede , Buffet
and Gucrlu will bo condemned to pay costs.

Hlght Reverend Crlghton and Lord George
Hamilton , secretary of state for India ,
opened the free library at the Acton , do
nated by John Pansmoro Edwards , a well
known publisher and the founder of many
libraries and Institutions , today.
Mr. Chonte , during the course of his re
marks , referred to tbo importance of uni
versal education , which their forefathers In
America made the cornerstone of their
whole political and social btructurc. He
added that In the United States free bchoola
and public libraries went hand in hand and
though the people of England and the
United States differed In many things , they
certainly agreed on the Importance of edu
cation , "which formed a perpetual bond
between all who read English hooks and
spoke the English tongue. "
The bishop and Lord George Hamilton
followed , brlelly expressing their thanks for
Mr. Choate's address.
Lord George Hamilton said he desired the
consummation of C.irlile'e Idea that Great
Britain nnd the United States should become
ono nation. This reault , in his opinion ,
would not be accomplished through diplo
matic negotiations , but by the two nations
combining to promote the caute of freedom

Albany , N V , has the largest nitration
plant In the United States. Fifteen mlllmn
gallons of Itmhon river water Is dall > tu
tored through this great structure , reports
the New York Herald , and eome out tin
pure as from a spring. While bacteriological
analysis of ihpjludson river water shows
between 12,000,000 and IS.000,000 bactetln to
the cubic centimeter , antlysls after nitration
shows n little moro than 100 Thus more than
! > 0 per cent of the impurity is eliminated
from the oilglnal "raw" water sweeping
down from the great watersheds above , In
cluding the tributaries of the Mohawk and
other streams , which carry down the pollu
tion of ilfty cities of the Interior , Including
Troy , Cohoes , Schctiectady , Amsterdam ,
Ultra , Homo and Glens Palls. This repre
sents a drainage area of more than s.OOO
m II en.
The great filter was designed by Allen
Unzen , state consulting engineer , nnd vvaa
put In operation by George- 1. llalley , super
intendent of the Albany water works , Vree-
land Youngman , chairman of the construc
tion committee , and Leonard M. Wachter ,
expert In bacteriology and chemical analy
sis It Is the only plant In the country whose
niters are vaulted over with concrete , mak
ing n series of eight colossal caverns , wheie
the water lies four feet deep over a four
foot bed of sand , and ( liters through , to bo
collected In pipes underneath and carried
thence to the pure water reservoir nnd by
Bteel plpen to Albany.
"Tho water Is taken In from the middle
of the back channel of the Hudson liver bv
centrifugal pumps , " said Mr. Waehter. "and
empties Into a sedimentation basin through
eleven uptight perforated stamlplpc.s , thus
giving an opportunity for thorough aeration
of the watir. A single daj's supply Is about
1(1,000,000 ( gallons. This Is called 'raw' water ,
nnd Is fed thence to the nitration beds.
"These beds are colossal caves , eight In
number , vaulted over with concrete nnd
floored with the same , each about sevon-
tenths of nn acre in area. On the lloor ot
this level Is a system of earthen drainage
pipes , laid with loose Joints , admitting the
water easily , and covering these Is a layer
of coarse gravel with two lajers of liner
gravel above Upon the whole level Is laid
four feet of clean white sand that has not
only been washed of every paitlcle of pollu
tion through a scries of eight washing boxes ,
but thoroughly Inspected as to the size of
the grains.
, " 0n this sand aiea there Is delivered the
raw Hudson water from the sedimentation
basin , the level of the water being kept con
stant by a series of lloats attached to escape
vahcs The water passes down through this
oaud and gravel and thence into the earthen
pipes and so on to the reservoir of pure
water , delivered thence through a four-foot
pipe to the pumping station.
"Gradually the surface of the sand beds
becomes foul with organic matter that Is
technically called 'schmutz-decke. '
"Tho cost of this successful plant was In
the neighborhood of $500,000. "
