suppress this long continued lawless-

CoRoGER's INQUEST.
The Lick TruSI-NcW Difficulty
DeYelODeu,

SAN FRANCrsco, May S.-The settle.
ment oil the Lick trust has developed a
new phase OF difficulty. At n meeting oil
the Society OF California Pioneers last
night, a resolution adopted by the direc.
tors was read, to the effect that the Board
would consent to the payment OF $685.
600 to John II. Lick, in addition 10 the
sum given to him by the late james
Lick, provided that all the. societies shar.
ing the bounty OF the deceased philan.
thropist should bear their proportion OF
the expense. These other societies had
been led to believe that the 1885 900 was
10 come out Of the residue set apart to be
divided equally between the Academy OF
Sciences and Pioneers, and had filed
their answer consenting to the payment
on that hypothesis. The trustees Of the
Lick estate expected the two residuary
legateCs to accept that idea and to come
to-day into court, so that the whole
matter could be closed up. Both the
residuary legatees and societies, however,
now refuse TO consent that all the money
required for the settlement should come
out OF their purses exclusively. Whether
the other societies will now consent to
pay the deduction Of IA per cent, that is,
the amount needed OF the specific bequests
given to them, is a question to be settled
hereafter. There may be trouble Of lin.
itRtion in the estate yet.

a Death Over Which Every Body
Will Rejoice.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Commits
sioner OF Patents to-day decided to de.
cline to further extend the patents OF the
sewing.machine combination monopoly,
and at twelve o'clock tomorrow the pro.
lection heretofore extended the Combina-
ton by letters patent will expire. The
patentswhich expire tomorrow cover the
vibrating needle and reciprocating shut
tie, the vibrating needle and rotation
hook, and continuous feed in connection
with the above, whether wheel or what
is known as a four.motion feed.
This will destroy the exclusive
monopolies enjoyed up to this time by
the Companies known as the Grover 4
Baker, the Wheeler &Wilson, and Howe
and Singer. The combination have used
what is known as the John BatcheIder
patent for the continuous feed motion,
which was the most valuable patent in
the possession Of A. r. Wilson, and Of
vital value. Machines constructed with.
out the motion have no value in the mar.
ket. This sewing machine combination
cleared no less than $G,0O0,0O0 profit
from this patent. The four Companies
heretofore named in 1851 entered into an
agreement OF mutual protection, by
which all patents Of any value owned by
either OF them should become common
property to all; it was also stipulated
that no machine should be sold ut
less than the regulation price, which was
placed at six times the cost oil. first manu-
facture. They would also license other
companies not in the combination to Use
their patents, demanding royalty Of
from S. to S2Gper machine, according 10
the number Of machines made; but al.
ways stipulating that the price should be
uniform. The arrangement gave the four
companies tue absolute control Of all sew
ing.mnchines manufactured in America.
The Observation-Disclosures patent has been
twice extended, and last winter the com.
panies interested pooled $l,000,0O0 and
dispatched attorneys here 10 endeRvor
TO induce Congress 10 further ex-
tend the patent by legislation. The
movement, however, strange to say,
with 40 much money behind it, failed.
Ever since great efforts have been made
by the combination 10 secure some mo-
nopoly in minor details OF construction
which could be reissued, and thus save
something from the wreck. To.day's de-
CisioA, however, breaks the backbone OF
the Sewing Machine Ring. The cost Of
manufacturing any Of the ordinary ma
chimes, exclusive Of ornamentation, is
about IS 10; and it is the testimony Of re.
putable sewing machine manufacturers
that they will soon be put on the market
at SIS each, il, indeed, not less.

The Explosion on the Steamer
SlLlOnian.

New YORK, May S.-The steamship
Russia arrived to-day from Liverpool,
She reports boarding, on May ID, the
steamer sidonian, making for Bristol nm.
der sail, and taking from her the cook,
the only survivor Of those wounded by
the explosion.
Nothing has been heard OF the steamer
City Of Brussels, seventeen days out and
having on board the band OF Canadian
pilgrims for Rome, with acceSsions from
this city and neighborhood, together with
Gen. Newton, US. A., and ex.Gounty
Clerk Wm. Walsh. The agents Of the
vessel express confidence that nothing
more serious has happened than a break
down Of the machinery, compelling the
vessel to proceed under sail.
DR.. Caldwell, surgeon OF the ship Rus.
sia, said to-day to the reporter Of the
Evening Post, that the wounded cook Of
the SijOninD, Robert Hutchinson by
name, was suffering from severe scalp
wound, which would probably have re.
suited fatally without surgical treatment.
The man had improved under proper
care and was now abs To leave the yes.
sci to report at the Anchor Line Office,
In reply to further inquiry DR.. Caldwell
said that Hutchinson was in the cooks
gallery OF the Sidohian at the time Of the
accident. The latter had told him
that the steamer suddenly stopped, and
after short pause started again. She then
stopped second time, and Captain Ed.
wards went below to sec what the matter
was. The explosion took place almost
Immediately after, Hutchinson was struck
on the head by the iron cap Of the galley
funnel, joining the main funnel, and his
scalp was laid open. The fatally wound
ed men were not able to speak after
wards, but retained their consciousness
until their deaths. All the deaths oc.
CURED before the Sidonian fell in with
the China. According to the statement
OF Hutchinson, which is at variance in
this particular with the imperfect ac.
counts previously received, the first who
died was Henry Tuggell, fireman, and the
second Captain Edwards. The dead men
were buried in three installments. A
subscription in aid OF Hutchinson has
been taken up on the Russia.
Hutchinson was questioned on his way
from the Cunard dock to the city, but
further information from him was sup.
pressed by the arrival Of the baggage
master at the Anchor Line dock, who has
been sent to take charge Of him. The
latter cautioned Hutchinson not 10 make
any statement until he had seen Mr.. Hen.

The two then went to the Anchor Steam.

that she would find herself left out in the
cold "that in her blind vindictivCness''
she had gained absolutely nothing by the
passage Of the bill.
Nothing, 80 far as we can recall, was
said to the disparugemenL Of Clarksburg
ior the part she took in the passage OF
the bill. Charleston was the exclusive
target for the Registers sarcastic shot.
There was nothing said then about the
superior hotel facilities Of Charleston,
present or future, or It's prospective live
daily newspapers, or even its future
railroad up Elk River, or its wonderful
general outcome. All these embryotic
excellencies were reserved for an edito.
rial to be written two months after the
adjournment OF the Legislature. Strange
indeed that they did not suggest them.
selves sooner to the now prophetic vision
OF the Register, Stranger still that
instead OF seeing these strong points
in favor Of Charleston, the Reg.
istr should have been engaged in
showing that everything,regardless of the
interests OF the State at large, was being
made to bend to "grasping Charleston" !"
We were told, less than three months ago,
that Charleston was "willing to sacrifice
the best interests Of the State in crafty.
ing her spleen" Delegates from other
parts OF the State. e.were warned not to be
made tools Of by Charleston, and exhorted
not to "neglcct the interests Of their own
constituents, or permit their interests to
suffer by reason OF CharlestonS vindic.
tivGneaa.'
We were not told at that time that
Charleston had great development
ahead Of her. On the contrary we were
told that she, not less than Clarksburg
and Martinsburg, was as well improved
and developed as she could possibly be.
Now, however, presto! change! Charles.
ton is to be city second only in import.
ance to Wheeling, r And. Wheeling is to
be her commercial beneficiary, ii ,hc will
only turn ont and vote for her as the
future Capital. We can secure the large
and valuable trade Of this wonderful city
Of the future by falling in with the gen.
eraI current OF progress that is setting in
so irresislibly in her favor. We will be,
come to her what Cincinnati is now.
We do nosthink that the people Of this
Congressional District are quite ready to
be suddenly converted to this view OF the
Capital question. They want at least as
much time as the Register has taken be-
fore coming to conclusion. And the
Register should not complain If they
finally refuse 10 be converted twice-two
different ways-by the same preacher.
Having done so much last winter TO pref.
udiCe the public mind against Charleston,
the editor should not be surprised II the
people now absolutely refuse to take any
stock in his new departure.

that in his opinion Division No. 10 could

that Turkey is built up and strength
