court adjourned until 1 o'clock. Justies
Lambert began his charge to the
Jury at 1.15 in the afternoon. Both
aides' regarded his charge as impartial
and both aides were satisfied with it
The Jury was given the csae after
the Judge had talked two hoora.
Just ten minutes after the Jury bad
retired there was a loud, sharp rap on
the inside of the Jury's door. A bailiff
opened the door and a man inaide
whispered to him. The bailiff turned
around, amasement on hla face.
"They hare reached a verdict," he
aaid.
Justice Lambert took his place on the
bench, and said. "Bring in the prisaoer.**
There waa a short wait and at 3.85
lfolineux walked into the court-room
and took a seat beside his white-haired
father. The prisoner's face waa drawn
and his cheeks sunken: the comers of
his mouth were turned down, and
there was a firm look about his fsce.
There was absolute silence for a
few seconds after the Jurors had taken
their seats. Then Justice Lambert
looked at the large audience In tbe
court-room and admonished the people
to keep perfect order upon the an*
nouncement of the verdict.
MoUneux arose quickly and faced tbe
Jury. Tbe moment be bad been longtag
for for four years was at band.
He believed his rising was a preliminary
to his triumph. His bead was
held high and bis bands were clenched
nervously. His lips were closed tightly
and hla muscles were rigid.
"Have you reached a verdict?" asked
the clerk of the Jury.
"We have." said the foreman, Mr.
Young. '
-What Is your verdlctr
"Not guilty."
MoUneux dropped, almost prostrated.
Into his chair. His old father, with i
tears of joy on his cheek*, seised the
freed man'* lands in his, and Roland's
brother Leslie also grasped his hands.
Than MoUneux shook hands with his
lawyers, Mr. Black and the others.
The Jury had taken only one ballot,
and all voted for acquittal.
Mr. Osborne, the Prosecutor, who haa
been working on the case for nearly
four years, looked stunned, and a feeling
of relief thst It waa all over waa
apparent in hla manner. Several of
the Jurors shook hands with Osborne.
When the rerdlct was rendered there
was a hum of approval In the court*
room. At that Instant a boy outside
the Court building shouted: "MoUneux
Is free.** There waa a shout and cheers
In the street, and an Immense crowd
rushed to the steps of the Court House,
but were driven back by policemen.
The bailiff who had gusrded Mollneuz
all through the trial left the young
man's side.
MoUneux realised that he was free.
He walked back over the Bridge of
signs to the Tomb#, and packed up his
clothing and books, and before tt
o'clock emerged Into the street smiling
with Joy and relief. General Molinenx
and Leslie Molinenx and two friends
waited for the ex-prisoner in a car*
riage.
The ride to the Molinenx home was a
triumphal march. Women and men
lined the streets end wared handkerchiefs
and cheered, and many rushed
to the carriage and tried to shake
Roland's hfitnd. Re took off his hat
aereral times and bowed to the people.
Two thousand persons filled the quiet
Brooklyn street in front of the Mollneux
home when the carriage stopped.

the hallway, the others followed and
the door was closed.
| Mrs. Roland MoUneux. the wife, was
hot at the Brooklyn house to welcome
her husband. She heard the news In
an uptown hotel, where she has been
living for some time. When told what

Mrs. Eddy Is quoted as follows:
"Until the public thought becomes
better acquainted with Christian Science,
the Christian Scientists shall decline
to doctor infections or contagloua
diseases."
This Important direction from Mrs.
Eddy was doubtless evoked by the
criminal prosecutions commenced by
the authorities of Motint Vernon. N.
V.. against several Christian Scientists
concerned In the desth of a child who
died of diphtheria after having been
treated by Scientists to the exclusion
of the regular medical attendants.
In the same edltorlsl Mrs. Eddy
ays:
"On the subject of reporting contagion
I hare this to say: 1 have always
believed that the Christian Scientists
should be law-abiding, and. actuated
by this conviction, I authorised
the following statement about one year
ago: Rather than quarrel over vaccination,
I recommend that If the law
demand an individual to submit to this

to the Gospel to save Mm from
any bad remit*. Whatever chaoses
belong to this century, or any epoch,
we may safely submit to the providence
Of God, to common Justice, individual
rights and governmental
osasea.
"This statement fcbould be so Inter*
pre ted aa to apply, cn the basis of
Christian 8clence. to the reporting of
contagion to the proper authorities
when the law so requires. When
Jesus waa questioned about obeying
the human law He declared: 'Render
unto Caeaar the things that are
Caesars' eren while you 'Bender unto
God the things that are God's.'"

New Tork City.?The dedication ex*
; erclses which marked the formal openJ
Ing of the new home of the New York
! Chamber of Commerce were made notable
by addresses delivered by President
Theodore Roosevelt and former
President Grorer Cleveland. Neither
of the distinguished guests referred
even remotely to politics, though in bis
spescn at the great banquet in the
! evening President Boosevelt touched
upon questions of national policy
President Roosevelt's speech In the
morning was extemporaneous and occupied
less than three minutes, but it
resulted In a most significant demonstration.
Former President Cleveland
was the orator of the morning and
President Roosevelt the principal
speaker of the night.
The dedication exercises were simple
but impressive. The assembly room in
the new building Is one of the handsomest
in the city. It furnished seating
room for nearly 1000 men and nobody
was crowded. Nearly every nation
was represented by either an Ambassador.
Minister or Consul-General
There were also several members of
th* Rrittah Parliament and of the Lon
don Chamber of Commerce, and of
President Roosevelt's Cabinet, and
nearly every bank president in the city.
After Dr. Morgan Dlx bad pronounced
an invocation Mr. Jessup
made the opening address, Mr. Cleveland
followed bim; then came President
Roosevelt, who was followed by
Mayor Low.
After the speeches a luncheon was
served on the upper floors, and at night
there was a great banquet, codting ISO
a plafe. for more than 000 d1f? . at
which President Roosevelt dell* * an
address.
At the banquet President Roo. <?lt
poke. In part, as follows:
"The New York Chamber of Commerce
stands for the triumphs of peace
both abroad and at home. We have
passed that stage of national development
when depreciation of other peoples
is felt as a tribute to our own.
We watch the growth and prosperity
of other nations, not with hatred or
jealousy, but with sincere and friendly
good will I think I can say safely
that we have shown by our attitude
toward Cuba that as regards weaker
powers our desire Is that they may be i
able to stand alone, and that if they I
will only show themselves willing to |
deal honestly and fairly with the rest j
of mankind w? on oar aide will do all
we can to help, not to hinder, them.
With the great Powers of the world we
desire no rivalry that is not honorable
to both parties. We wish them well.
We believe that the trend of the mod*
ern spirit Is even stronger towad pence,
not war; toward friendship, not bostil*
Ity. aa the normal international attitude.
We are glad, indeed, that we are
on good terms with all other peoples of
mankind, and no effort on our part
hall be spared to secure a continuance
of these relations. The voice of the
weakling or the craven counts for nothing
when he clamors for peace, but
the voice of the Just man armed is potent
We need to keep in a condition
of preparedness, especially as regards
oar navy, not because we want war.
bat because we desire to stand with
those whose plea for peace Is listened
to with respectful attention.
"Important though it is that we should

[ New York City.?Fire has damaged
the structure of the new East Hirer
I bridge to the ezteat of about $300,000
In four hours. Two of the four great
main cables destined to sustain the
; weight of the structure, it is feared,
have been so seriously impaired Ly
heat that they may have to be rcI
placed. Each o4 these main cables Is
eighteen and a quarter inches in dlameter
and consists of 7G0G steel strands,
the thickness of eacli of which is three*
sixteenths of an inch. The total valua
of the four main cables is $1,200,000.
Upon the John A. Roebling Sons'
Company will probably fall more than
$2)00.000 of the loss. They are the contractors
for the structural portion of
the bridge proper. The day practically
marked the completion of their
task, and on the following day the
Fenmyivania steel uompany. 01 nieeiton.
Pa., was to bare begun the work
of constructing th* main roadways of
steel. Much of tbe material which
they had on band ready to begin work
with Is also a total loss, and that company.
It is estimated, will suffer from
160,000 to $100,000 damage.
Ai a spectacle the Are was one of the
moat remarkable ever witnessed in or
around New York City. Starting at a
point 200 feet higher than water could
reach effectively. It spread along the
wooden footway and out over the
East River like a festoon of fire. Finally
the foot bridges parted in tbe
middle, delnging. under a rain of
sparks, brands and ponderous red-hot
steel bolts the decks and superstructures
of half a doxen river craft. For
two hours river traffic was practically
auspended.
Mr. Hillenbrand, the man in charge
of the Roebllng Work on the East
River bridge, and who is in a position
to know, declared that no lives had
been lost. He said he had personally
heard from the four men reported to
have been killed.
Peter Bradley. Inspector of the bridge
cablet for the Department of Bridges,
said: 'Three of the cables, in my opinion.
will have to be replaced, and perhaps
all four of them. The heat has
ruined the two cables on the southerly
side and the inner one on the northerly
side. Of that I am quite sure."
Breaking out as It did at just the
time when working New York wss
wending Its way home in full force the
fire attracted universal attention, and
great throngs of people rushed toward
the water front to get as close a view
as possible of the novel spectacle.
From close range It was one of the
most terrifying fires the city has ever
Jcnown. and as a matter of fact It was
declared by the firemen to be one of
the most dangerous to human life.
It placed In Jeopardy whole blocks*
ful of people in the vicinity of the pier
and the lives of many thousands of
people crossing the East River cn
ferryboats or traveling on Sound
steamboats outward bound.
When the danger was realized people
were driven out of tenement houses
for blocks around by the police, and
traffic up and down and across the
river In the vicinity of the bridge was
stopped. Some of the ferryboat lines
ceased doing business Just at the hour
when the homeward rush of people
was greatest, and several Sound steamers
turned back to their piers.
The great danger was that one or
more of the four main cables would
break because of the intense beat. If
one had broken, engineers on the scene
said that the ends. Instead of falling
straight down, would hare made a huge
outward sweep, crushing high build
IDgl M u iuey were mam? ?u i??|iri.
I In a word, the main results of the tire
were:
A loss estimated at $000,000.
A delay in the completion cf the
bridge estimated at one year.
Serious Injury to three of the fcur
Immense cables, which hare taken
more than a year to weave.
A possibility that the steel work of
the main tower has been so wnrped
and twisted that substantial parts of
It will have to be replaced.
Heavy loss in construction material,
scaffolding, cables and the like.

London.?A short paragraph In the
Times baa created one of those period- 1
leal scares in regard to the supposed
Intention of the Irish "Physical Force" J
party to renew its activity.
The paragraph was headed "Arms I
and Ammunition for Ireland." and 1
stated that, in consequence of the consignment.
"In unusual quantities." of
arms and ammunition to Ireland, the
Chief Constable of Birmingham, which
is the centre of the English anna Industry.
bod deemed it necessary to Issue
a circular to the local manufactur- <
era. calling their attention to the neces- <
slty for tbe obscrratlon of the terms of
the Peace Preservation act of 1881. 1
The circular stated:
"In order to prevent arms and am- 1
munition falling Into the bands of un- 1
authorized persons In Ireland who may
use them criminally, It has become j
necessary to draw the attention of j
manufacturers and sellers of arms and
ammunition in Birmingham to tbe fact
that tbe Peace Preservation act (Ire- j
land), 1881. Is in force in various proclaimed
districts in Ireland, which torbids
any persons having, carrying or
selling arms or ammunition In these 3
districts without baring a license on- c
der that act." (
The Chief Countable then went on to '
enumerate tbe "proclaimed" districts, *
and further pointed out that no arms 1
or ammunition could lawfuly be con* 1
signed to any one in sucn a aismci an*
less the person In question was licensed i
to sell the articles so consigned or to <
carry the same. The* manufacturers
were directed that all shipments of
arms and ammunition for Ireland must
be distinctly labelled with the name y
and address of the consignee and with .
the word "arms" or "ammunition." as
the case might be. Before tbe consignment
was Rent written notice of it 1
must be given to tbe Collector or other '
principal Customs official at the place (
of consignment.
The last few lines in tbe statement t
were perhaps the most significant of <
nlL They were to tbe effect that ammunition
for sporting purposes, con- \
signed to licensed persons, was except- c
ed from the provisions of the Peace (
Preservation act.
If tbe arms and ammunition which i
are being sent to Ireland In "unusual
quantities" arc not for sporting pur- .
wh?i? numncA ra th? Mil. I
| |A/nco| AVI ??iuv I'M*|<uw _
nlgnmonts being mode? This question
has naturally been asked by a large
number of Englishmen, who have be- j
rome quite alarmed at this symptom of '
Irish unrest. 1
The Times described the notice of
I the Chief Constable of Birmingham as
. "significant and rather alarming." and
said it was tolerably clear that the !
arms which had been consigned to Ire- t
| land were military rifles, not sporting
guns, for which there could be no sud- t
den demand. (
Nationalist speakers and writers (
have recently been freely making
I threats of physical forcc. and have .
been declaring that if the "Parllamentary
Party" fails to accomplish any- '
thing other means of destroying tbe (
rule of the bated 8axon will be em* '
i ployed. ,
Altogether, it looka as though this
scare ban rather more back of it than
other recent alarms in regard to "Irish
rebellion."
