Mysterious Murders Arbitrator In crease Wage Double Tragedy at Buffalo Alaska's Gold.' Twice sentenced to Auburn state prison, ouce being lor life fur murdet in the second degree, John V. Bonder of UUca was last week at Au burn made a free man and will again have the freedom of the outside life that has been denied to him for so long. Bender was proprietor of a bouse In Ueerlield, a short distance from Utica. In Utica, In 1887, Bender shot and killei Thomas Gray. He was found guilty of murder In the second degree and on April 30 of the same year he was received In Auburn prison to serve a life sentence. On May 11, 1893, Governor Flower commuted his sentence to 10 years sub ject to the usual commutation of three years and six months on a sentence ol that length for good behavior. On Oct. 30, 1893, after serving six years and six months, Bender was re leased from the prison. He went back to Utica, bocame Involved in a row there and shot a man. He was convicted of assault In the second degree after a prior conviction and the judge sentenced him to five years and eight mouths in Auburn prison, which he entered the second time within a year after his discharge. The commutation granted by the governor, like all of the kind, had a clause in it that provided that in case he be convicted again within the time "now remaining unserved of the term commuted he should be deemed an es caped convict." The wording of the commutation was somewhat ambiguous and this has led to the litigation. Bender served the second sentence of five years and eight months, also the three years and six months short time lost on the com muted sentence and then asked for hit discharge. The prison officials refused to grant this, claiming that by his second sent ence Bender forfeited his commutation and that the original sentence became operative. The caso was argued before Justice Rich on habeas corpus proceedings and he decided In favor of Bender and held that he was illegally Imprisoned. Large Exports ef Flour. The mild, open fall season has been valuable to the farmer, enabling com plete farming preparations and Insur ing a satisfactory beginning to the wheat crop, besides allowing the lato cotton to mature and facilitating out door work, such as building, to pro gress rapidly. Good collections are the rule, few ex ceptions to this being noted. Prices show great steadiness, those increasing or remaining uuchanged far outnum bering those declining. The cereals are lower on the week, largely owing to the large movement. A most Important and sustaining feat ure is the Immense demand for flour, which fcas improved In sale the past weak. Export business in this direc tion Is very heavy from both coasts. Dairy products tend to strengthen on seasonal changes. Cotton goods remain quite active and strong despite the shading In raw cot ton. The woolen goods trade Is Im proving, and the predicted advance ol 5 per cent on some lines has been se cured without much difficulty. Raw wool is very firm and supplies are closely held. Fine and medium grades ate hardening. Iron and steel show little change. The fuel situation is conceded to have an Important bearing; coke Is very scarce and fully a score of Eastern furnaces are banked. There Is a wait ing tendency In the Import trade and new business Is not large. Steel rail makers are still busy, and an immense tonnage will have to be carried over Into next year. A new war has broken out In the sugar trade, the Pacific coast beet pro duct contesting Eastern markets with that of cane. Raw sugar is firmly held on expected world's crops being short or, but the refined Is weaker, partly owing to the war talk. Shoe manufacturers the country over are busy. Complaint that there Is no profit In the leather business still con tinues. Hides seem to be the key stone of the situation, and as they re main firm they give tone to the entire market. Boston's Mysterious Murders. After giving out the confession of the young negro, O. L. O. Perry, with ref erence to selling the watches taken from the murdered women, Miss Clara A. Morton and Miss Agnes McPbee, the police admitted that Perry declares that Allan O. Mason is the man from whom he received these articles. This admission of the police was made Just before young Perry was tak en to the Jail In East Cambridge, where Mason, the prominent Boston man un der arrest on the charge of killing Miss Morton, Is confined pending a hearing In the Cambridge court Here, ill one of the Jail corridors, Perry positively identified Mason as the man who bad given him the two watches. The defense was proceeding on the theory that it was a k-gro who mur dered Miss Morton and Miss McPbee anJ who also committed the other mur derous assaults. Mr. Ware places no faith In the accusation of Perry that It was Mason who gave the boy ta watches. TIONESTA. He believes that Perry had to ac count for his possession of the watches and the most reasonable way was to say that they were given him by a man already under arrest and by a man whom he had seen on the streets ol Cambridge and could easily Identify. Killed Himself and Sweetheart. Christopher P. Willis of Bath, N. Y., a student in the state normal school at Gene3eo, who loved and was Jealous of Mary Catherine Ferguson, a 17-year-old gLrl of his own village, shot and killed Miss Ferguson and him self In front of the lodging house at 138 Swan street, Buffalo, Saturday. He had known her about 18 months and they had come to Buffalo to visit the girl's brothers at the Swan street house. In Willis' pocket was found a letter from Miss Ferguson, in which she re proached him for expressing Jealousy of her. Willis, who was only 21 years old, taught school near Bath un til a few months ago. Money was left to him by relatives and he was no longer obliged to work. He drank lit tle, but was an excessive smoker ol cigarettes. Farmer Robbed; Hired Men Locked In. Masked burglars entered the home of Ezra Clint in the little village of Hilton at 1 o'clock on Friday morn ing, shoved a revolver Into his mouth, beat him brutally over the head with an iron bar ami securing a sum of money amounting to $100, left the place. Clint has always been credited with having money concealed about the house. Clint has had working for him a trio of strangers who have been employed as apple pickers. They have been sleeping in the barn on the place, spending the night there as usual. In the morning the trio of apple pick ers were found Imprisoned In the barn, the -doors having been fastened from the outside, with ropes making it Im possible for the persons Inside the place to escape. Year's Casualties In the Army. The annual report of Major General Corbln, adjutant general, deals with every feature of the army and begins with a statement showing how the army Is to be tedu.ed by Dec. 1 to 60,020 men, of which 2,877 belong to the staff departments. The report shows that during the fis cal year there were 33 officers killed in aetlcn or died of wounds and disease, 21 resigned and 08 retired. Of the enlisted men, 1,227 were killed or died of wounds and disease, 35,806 were discharged on the expira tion of service, 5,698 were discharged for disability or dismissed by order of court martial, 4,667 deserted, two wore missing and 2o3 retired. Favors Restoration of Canteen. General Corbln has the following to say regarding the canteen: "The restoration of the exchange as It existed prior to the passage of the act of Feb. 2, 1901, prohibiting the sale of beer, is desired and urged by the great majority of officers and men and by none more than those of pronounced temperance views. Numerous reports confirm the views long held by this office that the old exchange contributed to sobriety, health and contentment of the men. The Increase of desertions and of trial for Infractions of discipline Is, by those best Informed, attributed to the abolition of the former privileges of the exchange." Alaska's Output of Gold, Mr. Roberts, director of the mint, made public statement of the gold out put of Alaska for the last 10 months. These figures, which are based on the receipts at San Francisco, Seattle and the Selby refinery, show a total of $18,- 870,07o as follows: Klondike (Cana dian), $13,861,095; Nome, $5,008,980. This total is something over $4,000,000 in excess of the Alaska output for the entire calendar year 1901, the figures for that year being $14,675,675. In the output for the last 10 months Is In cluded $25,000 expected to arrive from the Klondike before Jan. 1 and $1,350, 000 expected from Nome. Arbitrator Increase Wages. Twenty-five hundred trainmen of the Union Traction and Consolidated street railway lines are to receive an increase In wages of more than 10 per cent, dating from Sept. 15, according to the findings of a board of arbitration which made Its report last night, after hav ing had the demands of the streetcar men under consideration for nearly two months. The Increase will affect cable men, electric men, trippers and night men. The new scale Is to be In force until May 31, 1904. The disposi tion of the cases of the discharged men is to be announced later. Killed Her Husband. Mrs. Enoch Hlnk shot and killed her husband at their borne about three miles above Port Dickinson, Broome county, N. Y Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock. The act was done in self-defense, Hlnk at the time being engaged In a murderous assault on his wife with an open clasp knife. It is not thought that Mrs. Hlnk will be arrested. The coroner says that he looks on it as a case of Justifiable homicide, although Mrs. Hlnk claims Bhe merely took up the gun to frighten the man away. Precedent In Coal Arbitration. Lord Rosebery has been given permission In London to accede to the request of President Roosevelt's an thracite arbitration commission to be supplied with copies of notes of the proceedings in Lord Rosebery's settle ment of the British coal dispute In 1898.

Mr. Black Declared That Every Circum stance Pointed to Cornish Being the Murderer and Not Molineux Mr. Osborne Relied Largely on Hand writing Experts. New Vork, Nov. 11. The fate of Rclard B. Mclincux will be determined today. Whan court adjourned last evening Justice Lambert announced that he would allow District Attorney Osborne two and a half more hours to finish summing up, which means that the court will deliver Its charge and the case will go to the Jury this afternoon. The courtroom was crowded to suffo cation when at the opening of the ses sion former Governor Black rose to sum up for the dofense. Alter a gen eral defense ol Molineux, whom, he de clared, the prosecution had utterly failed to connect In any way with the death of Mrs. Adams, Mr. Black passed to a scathing denunciation of Harry Cornish, to whose guilt, and not that of Molineux, he declared every cir cumstance directly pointed. More than half of Mr. Black's address, which oc cupied nearly four hours, was devoted to an analysis of Cornish's conduct ani testimony and of the testimony of c-ther witnesses In a manner to sup port his contention that Cornish's ac tions were not consistent with Inno cence of the crime of which Molineux stands accused. Mr. Osbcrne based his argument for the prosecuticn largely on the testi mony of handwriting experts, which he said conclusively showed Molineux to have been the writer of the poison package address and of the other dis puted exhibits. He also devoted a con siderable amcaint of time to a defense of Cornish. WILL CONTEST ELECTION. Republican Leaders Claim Mr. Cun neen's Nam Was Illegally Placed Under Prohibition Emblem. Albany, Nov. 11 Colonel George W. Dunn, chaiiman of the Republican state committee, and Deputy Attorney General Henry E. Coman will confer today and decide on the methods to be pursued in contesting the election of John Cunneen of Buffalo as attorney general. The Republican leaders contend that Mr. Cunneen's name was Illegally placed on the ballot as the candidate of both the Prohibition and Democratic parties and that Judge BUchof erred when ho issued an order directing Sec retary of State McDonough to print Mr. Cunueen s name under the from bLtion emblem. Friends of Mr. Coman said that had always been the intention of the Republican state committee to appeal from. Judge Bischof s decision, as u WAS allowed to stand the election la could be used for ulterior purposes and th will of the Deonle defeated. If the appellate courts should reverse the de rision the effect, it Is claimed, wou be to permit boards of canvassers to throw out all votes cast for Mr. uun neiM under the Prohibition emblem. It Is exnecte l that Colonel Dunn and Mr. Coman will confer with Governor Odell and a definite plan of action wi be decided on. AUSTRALIAN STEAMER LOST.
