Heavy Combination to MOnOpOlixC the
Rice Product.
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-An extensive com.
bination has been formed by Chicago, st.
Paul, Pittsburgh and New York capitalists
for the purpose of handling, milling and
marketing rice, with the ultimate design
of controlling the entire rice product Of
the South. Two million five hundred thou
sand dollars have been subscribed and an
immediate investment of 500, 900 has been
made in New Orleans in elevators for the
storage Of rice, q mill for cleaning and ia.
cilities for handling it. The projectors OF
the company will operate upon this years
crop, and within the last three mouths sew
eral meetings of the share owners have
been held in this city.
A. Leo Wall, Of Pittsburgh, the general
counsel for the syndicate, is temporarily
stopping ct the Richelieu Hotel here,
having Just returned from New Orleans,
where be has been in the interest of the
combination. When asked to-day about
the syndicate and its purposes, he was APP
parently disinclined to be interviewed.
''This is . private business enterprise"
said he, 'in which are engageda number Of
gentlemen who have avoided notoriety and
sought to conduct their business without
unnecessary publicity" He refused to
give their names. but said that the facts
were as stated above, but declared that the
organization was not a trust in the ordina-
ry acceptance Of the word. The combina-
ton controlled . new process of milling
rice, and would rely for profits upon the
use of patent machinery and improved
methods Of handling the grain and in run
ming the business of rice dealing upon a
cash basis. A mill on the levee at New
Orleans with daily capacity of a thou
sand barrels would be ready for the
machinery in ten days. Mills at Charles
ton and Savannah, the other two chief
centers Of the rice industry, are to be
erected but not until next year.
While We'll was Of the opinion that the
combination could easily suppress all COM
petition, he maintained that the increased
savings and the increased product secured
by the new system would make rice
cheaper not dearer.

ing His Defense.
CAMERON, No., Sept. 6.-George and
Charles Altman, Of Hamilton, aged four
teen and sixteen, were coming to this city
yesterday morning when short distance
east of town they were met by an umbrel-
Ia member, Goodie Walters, who attacked
the Oldest boy, who had 80, with the inten-
ton Of r0bbing him. He had a large knife
in his hand, and the younger brother,
becoming alarmed, drew a revolver to de-
fend his brother and fired several shots.
Unfortunately one of them hit his brother
back of the left ear and the ball was after.
ward taken out near the right eye. The
wound proved fatal, the boy dying about
noon. Walters was hit twice in the back
and once in the head, and there
are but slight hopes of his re-
covery. He admitted that the account
Of the affair as told by George Altman was
correct, and stated that he expected to be
sent to the penitentiary should he recover.
The boys parents reside at Cowgirl, but
they had been living with relatives a.
Hamilton. 1t is reported that Walters has
. sister at st. Joseph, but further than this
but little can be learned in regard to him.
The boy is plucky little fellow.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. S.-Reports
heretofore without confirmation that yell
low fever was raging at McClenny on the
Florida Railway s. Navigation Company's
road, thirty miles west of the city, were
confirmed yesterday. About twenty-five
cases have been reported from there as
dengue fever, but there have been three or
four deaths, it is claimed, from malarial
fever. McClenny is a town of 200 or 400

Seventy-seven new cases were reported

morning, ''if we should learn that the
treaty has not been rejected after all.
There has been nothing official heard, you
know, and even Mini ster DENLY says that
he has no positive information to the
effect that the treaty has been re.

very slight thread on which to hang such
radical legislation as that of the Scott bill
can see why it may be forced to its pas

er political party wants to object to such
an act, thereby jeopsrdizing some hope Of
success. China would have good cause to
complain if the report of the rejection Of
the treaty should prove false and the bill
should become a law, notwithstanding the
fact that it might be argued that the bill
was an entirely domestic matter. 1t does

way to Paris, blocking the road. The
italian night train ran into the disabled
train and was wrecked, and twelve per-
Cons were killed, thirteen severely injured
and many more slightly injured. An
American named Boucher was seriously
wounded. The accident is attributed to
the unusual speed at which the train was
