TIE ascent of Belknap, peak some
what higher than Badly and said to be
about Is 600 feet. 1ttaking somewhat
longer than they supposed, they only
arrived q little before dark and were
obliged to stay all night. How drear
and lone the place! 1t was cold, too,
as winter almost, and upon searching,
Cook found that there was but one
match, and that was but the head of

with it they kindled a fire from some

station of the Geodetic survey, and so
remained there all night long, suffering
considerably from the cold.

THE TRUSTS ATTACKED.
Tho State of New York Against the
Sugar Monopoly.

Judge O'Brien, of the New York Supreme
Court, granted permission to State Attorney
General Charles +. Talbot to bring an action
against the H,vemyers & Elder Sugar Re-
fining Company TO annul its charter. This
company, with l3 Others is a member Of the
Sugar Trust combination. The Attorney
General has appointed General Roger
A. Pryor rs counsel to represent
him in this matter. Z ,mund H.
sentenne makes the principal affidavit in
the case. He recites that the Sugar Trust
was formed in August, 1887, for the purpose
of arbitrarily controlling the manufacture
and sale Of sugar, increasing its price and
controlling the management OF all refineries.
In October last the trust deed was executed.
The Havemeyer refinery, under the trust,
passed under the control of the trustees Of tho
combination. The aiii iavit stntes that the
combination has suspended and closed sever
al reiineries connected with the trust
and has thrown out of employment aud
reduced TO want n large number Of working
men. The combination, il is alleged, is IL
legal a monopoly and criminal conspiracy
under the laws of the State Of New York,
and is oppressive to Us people and detrimen-
tai TO the welfare of the State OF New York
and of the United States. BY becoming n
party to this combination 1t in alege the de-
PENDANTS have violated the law, transceudsd
its powers, forfeited lis charter and become
liable to be dissolved. The object of the suit
is to annul the corporate existence of the com
pany and to vacate its charter upon the
ground that it has violated, the act under
which it was incorporated and has exercised
privileges and franchises not conferred upon
il hy law.

Over 100 people injured is the record of nn
accident which took place Sunday afternoon
during the ceremonies attending the laying

Probably 1900 people gathered at the site of
the church TO witness the ceremonies about
1000 Of whom were crowded on temporary
door laid on the joists aud walls Of the edi,
Gee which had been carried up one story.
Archbishop Ryan, of Philalclphia, per.
sonally conducted the ceremonies. After the
cornerstone hid been laid Father Libichi,

women and children were thrown into n

BUSINESS REVIEW.
DUN CONDEMNS THE WHEAT
BOOM.
The Condition r business Good with
That One Excep, p,ion-southern
Merchants Recovering From
the Fever Scare.

r, G.. Dun & Co. S weekly review of trade
says:
The great wheat speculation has been tho
absorbing feature this week, for, though the
Sept mber corner came 10 an end, with
heavy losses for Sellers IL left tho market in
such a state that much higher prices for other
options were easily obtained. With De-
cembtr wheat at Sl.lS at Chicago, there
came heavy selling and sharp reaction. But
the state of the market is still against all
reason; cash wheat sells for more at Chicago
than at Liverpool, and at ono time it would
have pail to ship wheat back from Antwerp
TO New York. The effects OF this wild spec.
ulation will be injurious 20 legitimate trade,
both foreign and domestic, and 10 consumers
in this country it has nlre dy brought dear
er flour and an a1vauca in the price of bread.
At New York sales of wheat amounted b
Jos. 10000 bushels, more than three times
the entire visible supply, and the prices closed
$ 5.s cents higher than week ago.
Corn advanced 9 cents, with s,los Of 49,
600, 600 bushels, and cats fraction. The
spacul tive fever was felt in other markets,
aud pork rose 81 per barrel; lard 80 cents,
and hogs % cents per 100 pounds; coffee roso
/ cent with sales Of 5lG,5OJ ba'es, and oil
nearly cent, with sales of G,i3s,OO0 bar.
rels
The stock market has witnessed much sell
ing and some reaction, aud yet the average
Of prices is a shade higher than week
ago. But the advance of the Bank Of En-
gland rae - 3 per cent, and the advance
by the Bank of France TO 4 l.2 Per cent,
lead to some liquidation o. foreign accounts
in American securities, and may cause more
hereafter.
Foreign trade does not mt nrially change;
imports continue little larger than year
ago. while material improvement in exports
is not to lie expected with the sp culative
prices now ruling here. But the Treasury
pours out money freely, having disbursel
during the past week s., 800, 900 moro than il
has taken in, and the large offerings of bonds
indicate that tho disbursements can be kept
up for a considerable tma without advan-
cling the prices paid much farther,
Ii is also encouraging that, while the num-
Der of failures is large, the amount of liabili-
tics for the third quarter Of the year shows
great decrease from s73, ,022, $50 last year TO
s22 ia, pa for the quarter just ended. Bus-
ness failures during the last seven DAYS num-
Der, for ths United States, 1Si; Canada, %;
total, 2ll, rs compared with 300 last week
ard 2l2 for the corresponding week Of last

mental railway companies, aud succee led in
making arrangements for placing Adams
Express cars on all the through trains from

says the c mpIny will soon have express of.
fees establish .d in all the priuciplc cuss in
