Mr. Moester, who conducts a
barber shop,' was at his place of
business. His supper was sent to
him, but for some reason he did
not eat anv of it. The arrest of
the negress was made by Moester:
who is a private detective and
special police officer.
Dr. A. A. Lott, the physician
who attended the poison Btricken
family, makes no statement as toJ
the nature of the poison. He
says that there is no doubt but
that there was poison but says he
does not know what was used
A box of lightning rat killer was
found near the home this morn

Moester thinks that this is what
was used by the cook. He thinks
that it was put in the coffee. The
only motive for the cook's-deed is

for neglecting her work about the

regarding the affair and there may
be some sensational developments

respect the efficiency of the men
who man th great fortifications

the principal American ports.
The Fort Monroe school will be
in charge of a colonel, and each
of the departments will be pre
sided over by a major. Col. Har
rison, now in command at Fort
Monro7 will probably be the first
head of the institution.
At Fort Totten, Major G.F.
Barney, of the coast artillery
corps, said that the scope of the
new school was on a larger scale
than eve&attempted in this coun
try befor4 As yet no' official
name for the school has been "de
cided upon, although it is the im
pression among the artillery offi
cers that it will be known as
either the coast artillery or the
coast defense school of the United
States army.
