Mol ineux for the murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams. Recorder Goft will charge the jury to-morrow morning &nd the twelve men are expected to take up at once the question of the gullt or the innocence of the prisoner. On account of the iliness of Juror Man- heim Brown, despite the Immense cost of this celebrated case, reaching as it does into the hundreds of thousands of dol- lars, it is not expected the Recorder will insist upon severe Measures or require that the jury be locked up for any con- siderable length of time, even though it should fafl to reach an lgreement, TUndoubtedly the most dramatic event of the day was the attack which Assist- ant District Attorney Osborne made upon Mrs. Molineux, the wife of the prisoner. This attack was_somewhat unexpected, since Barlow S. Weeks, the attorney for the prisoner, had alreddy "characterized the mere introduction of the evidence con- cerning the fact that Molineux lived with his wife before marriage under the as- sumed name of ‘“Mr. Chesebrough” as “Jow and mean and vile’’ But Osborne elected to pick up the gauge of battle thrown down before him by the counsel for the defendant. The war was on In an instant when Battle, who 1is associated with Weeks in the defense of Molineux, objected to Osborne saying that Mrs. Molineux was the sole motive in the case, that Molineux had been trying to marry her and that she had consented to marry him suddenly only after Barnet, who had been a devoted admirer, was cold in his | grave. Osborne had just finished reading the note signed “‘Blanche,” sent by Miss Chesebrough to Barnet during hls last iliness, and when Battle interposed his objections Osborne turned quick as a flash toward Mrs. Molineux. “There Is the woman, there is the mo- tive!” exclaimed he in fones dramatic be- cause of their fierce intensity. Battle, still continuing to object upon the ground that the statements had not | been supported by the evidence, Osborne's volce rang out: “Let the galled jade wince! I do not blame counsel for objecting; but that woman is the living motive in the Barnet IV A NEW FELD Notorious “Commodore” Now at Samoa. SN ISR Bpecial Correspondence of The Call. APIA, Samoa, Jan. 10.—The Eliza Miller, laden with lumber and a general cargo. is now lying here discharging. It is rumored that Captain Tilley and Mr. Chambers, one of the engineer officers stationed at Tutuila, have assumed direction of affairs up there. If they have done so they have probably exceeded their authority, as no transfer has yet taken place nor has any public notice Teen given out that political changes have been made or how they are to operate. The prospects for a good trade next season are excellent, and most per- sons look hopefully forward and fully ex- pect that the new officials will do all they can to make this part of the Emperor's territories prosperous and peaceful.

It is understood that the committee will make no recommendation to the board at its next meeting and it may be several weeks before any action is taken. J. E. Foulds, attorney for the railroad company, spoke against the ordinance. He contended that the franchise under which the tracks are maintained Is a question of State law. “The policy of the State,” said he, *is to admit a transcontinental road Into this city, for which ?erml on was given by statute framed in 1861. When the con- sent of the board is once given, no mat- ter in what form, such action bars the tl;eeent board from revoking the same. “omplaints against the operation of the franchise must be made to the Attorney General, who may remedy the evil by an action at court. “The Southern Pacific Company is now constructing a bay shore road and dig- ing a tunnel through the B8an Bruno fiountains, which will take some time to complete.

It is likely that the Norna plantation will become the finest and most pro- ductive cacao plantation In the whole world, The quality of well-cured Samoan cacao is said to be superior to that of any other grown in the Pacific, and not lees excellent than any pro- duced elscwhere. Nearly every white man owning land here in Samoa {8 now turning it into cacao orchards as fast as possible, the profits, it is sald, being remarkable. The 'prospect of Samoa having a good, ef- ficient Government has been sufficient to bring about all these changes and investments, for under unsatisfactory and incompetent rule few persons were to be found who would risk any considerable outlay. @eivoeieieiet e ment Club, C. Stader, M. Watson, G. Schnee of the Federation of Improvement Clubs, Mrs. Hanson and Mrs. Holton of Sunnyside and F. Garnler of the Fair- mount Improvement Club, all spoke in favor of the ordinance and made earnest appeals to the board to put an end to| the frequent slaughter of lives by the trains. Street cars, they =aid, have been trapped between gates and many lives placed in jeopardy from approaching trains. M. Rooney told of the passage of ordinances, similar to the one under discussion, in New York, wnere the ope- ration of steam roads had been changed four different times to meet the growth of that city. The committee decided to reconsider its action denying a franchise to the Bay and Coast Rallway, in order to give the etitioners and protestants another hear- ng. The consideration of the Telegraph Hill and Gray Bros.’ quarries went over for one week. A batch of laborers’ mands for wages contracted during Su- perintendent of Streets Fragley's regime were referred to Expert Willlams for in- vestigation. YOUNG LADIES’ INSTITUTE.
