ADAMS POISONING CASE.
Tho Porsons Who Murdered Mrs.
Adams and Barnot Aro Known,
New York, Feb. 17. Without making
very great progress toward the solu
tion of tho mysterious Adams poison
Imj case, the coroner's Inquest this af
ternoon adjourned over until Mondny.
Tho most important developments con
nected with today's session was the
testimony of John D. Adams, the sec
retary of the Knickerbocker Athletic
club, who went upon tho witness stand
and told how ho happened to mention
Holand 13. Mollncaux In connection
with the sending ot the bromo seltzer
to Cornish; the request of Cornish to
again go upon the stand, and the state
ment of Dr. Hitchcock that If ho weio
again present upon the stand he could
clear up the mystery of tho two glasses.
Shortly after the noon lecess today
Harry Cornish sent a friend to Coroner
Hart asking for a pilvate conference.
The coroner sent back woid to tho
physical director that he saw no need
of a private conference and that he
could tell publicly all he knew by re
suming tho witness stand. Cornish an
nounced his Immediate readiness to
testify ugnln.
"What I shall disclose will help im
measureably In solving this mystery,"
he said. It Is very probable he will
give his evidence on Monday, us Cor
oner Hart and all concerned profess
to have not tho slightest objection to
his resuming the stand If he intends
to throw some light upon the myster
ies of the case. ,
A leport emanated today from the
district attorney's ofllce to the effect
that the persons who had murdMed
Mrs. Adams nnd Henry C. Barnet were
known and that the state had sutllclcnt
evidence to convict them. This evi
dence has not yet been submitted to
the grand juiy nor will any ot tho
lawyers at the dlstilct attorney's ofllce
or Colonel Gai diner himself explain the
delay Despite tho time which the evi
dence in the case Is taking. Assistant
District Attorney Osborne, today, said
that Mrs. Holand B. Mollneaux would
certainly bo placed upon tho witness
stand. This probably will bo on Mon
day next to which day adjournment
has been taken.

At nn early hour this morning an
unoccupied dwelling at 1S14 McDon

Elephant Hu .-ing in Nubia.
From Harper's Magazine.
When tho elephant Is pursued on foot It
Is Invariably sought in the depths of the
for.'3t, wlieie It has retiied for shelter
from the noonday etui, and also fo. the
short icposo it tukea during ilia twenty
four hours. The hunter, having trackt d
his quunj to Its letrwit, Is obllt,ed to
use the utmost stealth In approaching i
the elephant being a vuy light sleep
and awakened by the slightest unui
sound.
Tho. dlfllcu'lty of moving through
dense, thorny jurglo without making an
sound dissimilar to those which mUli
bo produced by nature, such as the stir
ring of tho brai.ehes by a light bieeztt ni
tho accaslonal falling of a dead leaf ,
greater than can he lealUed bv an on
who has not tried It.
On getting within arm's length of hi

In build somewhat heavier than a grey
hound. In spite of being lar swifter than
tho hound, thu gazelle falls a victim fiom
the nervous habit of constantly stopping
to look back to see If It Is pursued. It
also expends Its strength by tal.lng great
bounds In an almost vertical dliectlon.
thereby not only losing time, but ex
hausting itself, to that it Is overtake.!
