A carload of whlrky was spilled la a rall-rsd wreck on the Chicago and Alton, near tie Western Military Academy, in Upper Alton, last night. A stock train. No. 81. collided with a merchandise train.

No. 80. Train No. SO was unable to climb the steep grada nnd had backed down to the curve back of the military academy to make another start. Train No.

St was following close behind, and before a signal could be given tho engine of K. ran Into the caboose of No. SO. The caboose was demolished and the! trainmen Inside barely escaped by jumping. The car ahead oZ the caboose was loaded with 'Whisky In cases and barrels, and tho contents of the car was scattered over tho rlght-qf-way, barrels even rolling Into adjacent fields.

The etave3 of the barrels were broken, and nearly every package of whisky in the car was emptied on the ground. The whlskv saturated the ground so thoroughly that the air was filled with the Intoxicating fames. The "WesUrn Military Academy boys went to visit the wreck, but when the commandant. Major G. S.

Lowe, learned the of the contents of the car, tha cadets were marched away without seeing the work of clearing the track. Tipper Alton citizens learned of the wreck and gathered in large numbers to collect some pf the liquor which, was being allowed to leak from the packages to the ground. It is said that much of the liquor was saved by the bystanders, who carried buckets and bottles. The engine of train No. Si was badly damaged in the collision.

It means a 'resident not of a permanent nor of a transitory- nature. "It means something lc5 than permanent and something more than transitory- "A man may therefore be an 'Inhabitant of thb State and may be usually a "resident of another The witness may answer the question and the State must remain within the bounds -of my ruling." STATE PROCEEDS "WITH TESTIMOrsY AS TO REsIDTCE. In view of this ruling. Circuit Attorney Folk proceeded with the examination of Alexander Konta whero he left oft Thursday night, and after him all the State's witnesses whoe testimony is calculated to show that New York was Snydar's residence at one time. Konta said that he knew the defendant and had met him In New York, being accustomed to see him at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and In the offices of the brokerage firm of Bache Co.

He was nsked as to the interval between March. 1S3J. and April. 1K. and said that he believed Snyder' had lived In New York "during this time.

"Do you know that Snyder was in New York all the tlrocT' "I was not there all tho tlmo myself. I was In Europe twice the year mentioned, going In July, returning in October, going again In January nnd returning in March, sailing again April li 1M0. and coming back in 1SQ2." "Did Snyder go to Europe in the summer of 1S39TT "Yes." I think he sailed in June and returned In September. I saw him abroad In" London. Paris and for a.

time In Germany. He went abroad on business in which I was associated." "Did Mr. have a Tlace of business In New York?" "Hs had a desk In the offices of G. 8. Bache on Wall street.

I saw him thero frequently. His desk was in the room of the head of the arm. I think tna ocsk was his. since when Snyder was thero the desk cover was raised and when he' was gone the cover was Closed." "Was Snyder married during this year In New YorkT' "Yes. about January 1, 1S35, at the Waldorf-Astoria." "How long did he remain at the hotel after ho was marriedT "I think they were there until January IS, when they went awny on a little trip.

They came back and were at the hotel until April 10. when I sailed for Europe." HOTEI. APARTMENTS RENTED BY THE YEAR. Do you recall Snyder saying under what arrangement he retained his apartments at thi Waldorf "Yes. He said he had.

them by the year." Judge Priest conducted the cross-examination and asked on what terms. Snyder held his apartments and the same, reply was received as to the Circuit Attorney's question. "Is It not customary," queried tho defender, "for persons who have much business In New York to take rooms by 'the year?" "Yes, the practice is very general. It Is more, economical." "Did you see F. G.

Nlcdringhaus of St. Louis while in New "Yes." "During thli same winter of. 1S39-1S0O. do you remember of any time that Mr. Nlcdringhaus was not In New York?" "I could not say that I saw him every week." "Can you say that G.

H. Tcn'Broek of this city had an offlco at this time In New York, and also had one in St- Louis?" "Yea. sir, he had these two offices." "The Waldorf-Astoria, Is it not. Is a hotel where you may meet people from all parts of the United States? Is It not a sort of central bureau?" "It is headquarters for people from, all parts of the country. It is central, but not a iureau." Mr.

Folk asked a few questions in redirect examination, but developed nothing additional. SNYDER'S CORRESPONDENCE WITH ATTORNEY TE.V IIROEK. G. II. Ten Broek, a St.

Louis lawyer, was then called to the stand. He ras In New York from I January. 1599. to July, 1M0, excepting January, 1JO0. He knew Snyder.

Mr. Konta and Moses Greenwood. were associated In the business which took Mr. Ten Broek to New York. Witness could not say how often he had seen Snyder In New York.

He was not clear as to the date and place of Snjder's marrlaxe, but could remember the circumstance. "Did you have any correspondence with Mr. Snyder?" "Yes; 'I had correspondence beginning Juno 26, 1900. Telegrams and letters followed In quick succession In early July. On July 20 I wrote to him at Kansas City.

On Sep tember IS, 1900, Snyder wrote to me from the Waldorf In New York. I wrote to him at Kansas CItj on September 4. He wrote to mo from New York on September 9. Ho1 wroto me on September 25 from Kansas I City. I wrote to him on October 8 to New York; he wrote to mo on October 30 front Kansas City.

I wlrtd him on November 11 to Kansas City." He continued through the list up to 1902. Examination continuing, Mr. Ten Broek corroborated what Mr. Konta said relative to Snyder's place of abode and business office. He told of his meetings tilth Snyder, saying that they were merely casual, and not of a business nature, though business relations existed between Mr.

Konta and Mr. Snyder, and likewise between Konta and himself. WITNESS IS CROSS-EXAMINED BY THE DEFENSE. Mr. Lehmann conducted the -cross-examination.

"The Waldorf waa headquarters for Western people In the winter of ISM, particularly those who had financial business?" "Yes. sir." "That was a time of great financial activity?" "Yes." The witness said that Snyder had a home In Kansas City until some time after their acquaintance He was under the Impression that Snyder lived at the Waldorf until the latter part of 1ES3. "DM you become advised before lata in 1S that Mr. Snyder, was connected with, a bank in Kansas City?" "I do not know at what time I became acquainted with that but I am certain that I knew of It In JunelSCO," On redirect examination witness said: ivJL vi Jrfl in lt'NNn x-ss "vX HI I. R.

DOMINEICK. CHURCH WHITE. "JIv Impression was that Snyder considered New Yrk hi home. It was not baed on anything defendant said, but simply upon observation of the way he was living." Mobew Greenwood. wns next called.

Sakl was In York In 1SW, lfJ nnd part of 1SSS. "I saw Snyder frequently at the Waldorf-Astoria. I saw at breakfast and supper, almost constantly during that time. His office was near Mr. Ten Broek's office, the.

latter being in the Empire building." "Where did you first see him." "In the spring of 1S99. He was pointed out to me as the man who had come out to St. Louis and Spirited objection by Judge Priest as to what Mr. Snyder had done here. Objection was sustained.

Judge Priest conducted the cross-examination. He, elicited that the witness could not say positively that, after March of 199. Snyder was not absent at Intervals from New York. TIIIMiS SMUr.R WAS COWTANTI.Y IN YORK. "Could jou say that he was not away for three or four days, or a week, while you were there?" "No, sir.

but It was my impression that he was there constantly." Greenwood al3o raid that thfc Waldorf was the headquarters for Westerners who had business in Gotham. Shirley Jbhns. a newspaper man. was called and said that he had met Mr. Snyder once at the Planters.

"I went to see Mr. Snyder about the franchise bill. I had quite a long interview with him, ar.d my recollection Is that he told me that, while he had a residence in Kansas City, his homo was id New York." "How did the question about a home come out?" "I can't ray how that question aroie exactly, except that in an interview of that kind I generally try and locate a man." A. Auhcre followed Mr. Johns, the latter not being cross-examined.

He stated that he Is a newspaper man. and that he saw Mr. Snyder in at tho Planters Ho tel, and' got an Interview from him. "I'll ask If you saw him on or about March 7, and what bo said to you regarding himself or his residence?" SNYDER TOLD SEWSPAPER MAN HIS HOME WAS IN SEW YORK. "Yes.

I went to tha Planters tn Interview him with regard to a corporation in which he was one of the incorporators. He told mo that his home was in New York, but that be had business connections In Kansas City." "Did you get a typewriten Interview from Snyder?" "I am not sure that I got such an'. Interview at this time. I got one that day, whether from Mr. Snyder In person or not, I do not positively remember." In cross-examination Mr.

Auhero said that ho could not remember Snyder's exact word, whether he had said precisely that hH "home was In New York." The latter, in the opinion of the witness, was the substance of what the defendant said concerning his place of residence. Adolph Zaduk of New York, one of the witnesses brought here to testify by J. A. Ford. Assistant District Attorney of New-York, was summoned at 1320.

He stated that in 1S3J he war employed as canvasser for the New York City Directory Company. Circuit Attorney Folk called his attention to the namo of H. M. Snyder In the New York Directory of "Did you procure that name?" "I do not know." "Does your district' Include the Waldorf-Astoria?" "Tes." The Directory containing the name was offered in evidence. The defense objected.

Judge Ryan Interrogated the witness as, to the method In which he procured his Itet of the names of the residents at the Waldorf. On hearing that he had obtained It from an employe of tho ertabllshmcnt. he sustained the objection and ruled out the evidence. DOCTOR W. S.

WOODS filVES POSITIVE TESTIJlONY. Doctor W. S. Woods. 'president of thfc National Bank of Commerce, Kansas jCIty, took the stand.

He -has known Snyder about twenty years. "Within tha years 1S, I'll ask you, Mr. Woods, If you had a conversation with Mr. Snyder regarding his place of residence." "In 1S00 Mr. Snyder was In my office, and1 we ltnd a conversation about our places of residence, and he told m'c he was living in New York." "Tell the details of that conversation as far as possible.

"It was nt the time of the reorganisation of the City National Bark. Mr. Snyder was in the cit7 after an absence. The question aroo of his remaining In Kansas i City In his capacity as president Of the Citizens Bank, and I remember that he raid to that he could not afford to come back to Kansas City Because of hM extensive interests In the East. Major Warner conducted the cross-examination, again Introducing the facta in evidence that Snyder has an expensive residence in Kansas City, It well known, and ha large business Interests there.

STATE RESTS CASE AT OOX ADJOURNMENT. The State then rested its case and Judge Ryan adjourned court until p. m. At the opening of court In the afternoon the demurrer to the evldcncs was introduced and the arguments for and against glvlmr the case to the Jury with to acquit followed. The Judge reached the decision that, despite the weakness of the State's case on the po'nt 0f residence In New Snyder's fate must nevertheless, be passed the Jary- Therou-tlne of examination of witness was recommenced at once.

Attorney Jourdan Introduced, through the witness's reference to- a night watchman by the name of Mason, who, for the last twen-ty-tlve years has been employed to guard the residences In thfc vicinity. Then the witness stated that Mr. Snyder brought home his Ife In January, "1S00.

and spoke of a ratty at the residence In honor of the bride and to Introduce her In Kansas City. The Circuit Attorney took up the cross-examination. Ills inquiries were attempts to elicit admission from the witness that Snyder bad told him of a change of residence to New York. In this Mr. Folk was unsuccessful, though Long admitted that he himself was absent from Kansas City for long Intervals of time In the years 1S39 acdUOX TESTIJlONY CORROBORATED BY KANSAS CITY WITNESSES.

White, who, for twenty-eight years was cashier of the National Bank of Commerce in Kansas City, but now retired, followed Mr.Domlnelck. His testimony upon Snyder's rtsldenco' and upon the lat-ter's business1 history In Kansas City was practically same as that of the two foregoing1 witnesses. It was hla impression that Kansas City Is Snyder's home and was such in 1S99 and 1900.

Imcroes-examlcatlon. Mr. Folk attempted to pin Mr. White down on dates and places. He failed, as the witness could not recall specific occasions when ho saw Snyder.

TJie witness, however, admitted that he was away from Kansas City four months every winter, excepting 1S01. since 1SSS. ATTORNEY R. L. YEAGER FREQUENTLY SAW DEFENDANT.

R. L. Yeoger, lawyer, former president ot the Kansas City Board of Education, then testified for the defendant. After answering tho Initial introductory questions ho told that ho had known R. M.

ToW of visits to Snyder's home durisg tho limited time' Indicated and his statements as Jo Jhe persons nt the hausa and other circumstances agreed with tha testimony of his predecessors on the stand for the defendant.

lOO. J90J and 1901 by tho defendant. He Identified them. Mr. Folk objected -to their Introduction as evidence, but was overruled.

In cross-examination Mr. Folk asked the witness whether he could vouch for the accuracy of the assessments, and the Assessor replied that he could not. ASSESSMENT ROLLS SHOW NO CARPETS IN IIOL'SE. Mr. Folk: "Mr.

Holmes, from these assessment papers I see that Mr. Synder has no rugs or carpets In his house, nor other furniture of much value: can you say that that Is truer Objected to. but question was allowed In another form, and the following answer recorded: "I don't know; I never was In his house." "Mr. Snyder had a JM.OOO or SEO.OCO house and no rugs or carpets In It; is that the Idea?" "That's what the personal, tar receipt shons. The Circuit Attorney pushed tho latter point -aggressively!

FOLK APPROPRIATION BILL FAVORABLY REPORTED. The bill providing an additional appropriation of TO.COo for the use of the Circuit Attorney's office was reported favorably by the Ways and Means Commlttco at yesterday's meeting of tha City Council, and the measure was sent to tho Committee on Engrossed and Enrolled Bills for final indorsement before passage. Mayor Wells Is author of the. bill and caused it to be introduced in tha upper branch of tho Municipal Assembly as a re sult of the bribery prosecution. Mr.

Folk's office has been put to a great deal of extra expense since the boodlo Investigation was begun, nnd more than once tho Circuit Attorney baa had to go Into his own pocket In order to keep up tho work. No stipulation Is made In the bill as to how the money Is to be used, that matter being left entirely to the discretion of Mr. Folk. Tho latter will hao power to draw-on tha amount from the City.

Newell and Sheehan. ASKS FOR REDUCED BONDS. Tambljn Applies for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. An application for a writ of habeas corpus, asking that the bond of William M. Tomblyn, arrestod on two charges of bribery growing out of the Suburban and lighting' deals, be reduced, was filed yesterday with Judge Ryan.

It was made returnable this morning at 10 o'clock. Tamblyn complains that the amount of bond required, of him by Judge Douglas US.U0 in each of the two cases Is too large, and that his financial standing does not permit him to furnish surety for such a large sum. The application for tha writ of habeas corpus Is based on the same contentions as that of John Helms, whoso -bonds wore reduced from J4S.OM to CS.W) by Judge Rvan Thursday. Helms has not as yet given bond. It is expected that Otto Schumacher alsi will request the court to reduce his bonds, which are the same as those of HIms and Tamblyn.

Walter McNamnra. Surrenders. The trial of the Snyder case was Interrupted for a few minutes yesterday afternoon by man who stepped up to Deputy Clerk Chamberlain's duk and said. "I wlsn to give myself up." Chamberlain recognized the man as Walter J. McNamara.

who was arrested on a charge of fraudulent voting at the mayoralty election one year ago last spring, and who. after being released on bond of $1,000. with Simon S. Bass as surety disappeared. McNamara was placed In (all and Mr.

Bass began at once to arrange for giving another bond for the prisoner McNamara would not state where ho has been ilnco jumping his bond last April. EFFECT ON LOCAL MARKET. Prominent Dealer Savs. St. Louis Not Be Disturbed.

In speaking of the- failure of the leaders of the coal strike to reach an agreement at the conference held In Washington jester-day, several prominent coal dealers of this city expressed the following opinions. Edward C. Donk. president of the Dcnk Bros. Coal and Coke Company, said; "The failure of the conference will have no effect upon the local market, ns.

even though a settlement had beert reached, the supply ot anthracite In this section would not have been Immediately Increased. "I think, however, that there will undoubtedly be a beneficial remit from the conference, even though It seems now to be a failure. When two warring parties are brought together, even though an amiable settlement is not reached at that time. I think it will have a tendency to bring an end to tho strike In the near future." John B. Teller.

local manager of the Citizens Coal Mining Company, held rather a different opinion, although he was Inclined to believe that the conference would perhaps relieve the rituatlon In a measure, unless the strikers renewed their rioting. "I think that thel strikers are tn the wrong In the present trouble." Continued Mr. Texler. "and I should not be surprised. If the failure ot tho conference would be the signal for active hostilities in the dissatisfied sections." Edward II.

Conrades, vice president of the Donk Coal and Coke "I expected a great deal from the conference between the operators and Mitchell at the White House, and am greatly disappointed that It failed In Its purpose. The result, however, in my opinion, will be beneficial, as It wilt demonstrate to the people of the country which ldc Is in tho wrong and will tend to direct popular censure against the parties blocking the peace overtures."
