Spreckels to Fight the SUGAR Trust.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Oct. 23.-Aside from the at
tacks which the Sugar trust has had to put
up with from spectators within the last
few days, the outlook for the present is for
the liveliest kind of a fight between Claus
Spreckels and Harrison & Frazer of Phil
adelphia, on the one hand and the pugna-
cious Sugar trust on the other. Mr.
Spreckels, since his return from abroad
last week, has been more than usually
acrimonious and belhgerent in his utter
ances. He has gone to work in the most ener-
getic fashion to geth Philadelphia refinery
started. In conversation, ne declared him
self as in for fight to the bitter end. In
the coming struggle he and Harrison *
Frazer, who are the largest independent
retiners in the country, with capacity of
1000 barrels day, have been assured the
powerful backing of the Pennsylvania
railroad, Baltimore & Ohio railroad and
Pacific coast roads, owned and controlled
by G. P. Huntington.
Mr.. Spreckels' shipments from the
Pacific side of Huntington's roads is worth
catering to for the traffic and with the
opening of Spreckels' refinery in Philadel-
phia, the Pennsylvania railroad would
naturally bid high and well for the new
business. Mr.. Sprecllels says that the
trade at large has promised its support to
the independent refners. In his opinion,
the fight will not be protracted one, as
the companies and firms which Willdesert
from the trust will be sufficiently large to
make telling breach in the defenses Of the
enemy.
At The offices of the Havemeyer & Elder
company the employees were even more
close-mouthed than the proverbial oysters.
y leading wholesale grocer on West Broad
way, who for obvious reasons wants his
name suppressed, said that if the prospect
i've fight did not result in anything more,
the public would at least be able to buy its
sugar at lower prices. He, as well as other
large grocers, is antagonistic to the trust
and will. be glad to welcome the advent of
such men as Spreckels, providing compe-
tition will insure return to the old
methods of doing business

A RUN OF LUCK.
Remarkable Winnings of DR.. William Thorn
tOn-Suit Over His DishOnOred Note

tOn-Suit Over His DishOnOred Note
| Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch
Boston, Oct. 23.-Dr William Thornton,
who is defendant in a somewhat remark
able suit brought by the proprietor of a
gambling house to recover Sl5,S00 which
the doctor won at the roulette wheel, has
quite reputation here for playing high
stakes. There is an interesting story of
his run of luck at the Savage club. At
first he lost heavily but kept on playing,
and on the morning of February 1 last his
luck returned with rush. He won ON
every play. He sat down to the wheel
soon after midnight and didn't get up until
long after daybreak. Where he placed his
chips, and each one represented 50, the ball
stopped. There were only $4,000 in the
bank and it was soon the Doctors. He
played single numbers, and every time he
won his stakes were multiplied thirty-tive
times AS the night wore on the doctor
found his pile of chips steadily increasing
and he weakened. He did not dare to go
home with so much money. He was alone
and with the customary suspicion of gamb-
lers, he was afraid to leave the house, so he
kept on playing, hoping his pile would
diminish enough to remove some of the
temptation to rob and perhaps murder him
He PLAYED recklessly. but he couldn't lose.
AT last, when the day was well advanced
and the sidewalk was crowded, the
doctor decided he had had enough.
His winnings for the night were $40, 900.
He took $4,000 in cash and check for
$1,000. Henry Reel, proprietor of the club
who had played against Mr.. Thornton. Dor
roWed the money and cashed the check that
afternoon. The next night the doctor tried
his luck again and carried off about two
thousand dollars. The third night he won
an equal amount and ON February 4, he
stopped, after winning $1,000. That was
the end of his run of luck. Ten days
later he visited the club again and lost
$1,000 He didn't have the cash with him
and rendered his note. payable in fourteen
days. 1t was accepted without hesitation.
1t is said, however, that the doctor dishon-
ored his note. He took the ground that
the note was given by him in consideration
of money he lost by gambling and that the
note was not held in good faith.
This made the gamblers mad, and they took
legal steps to get even with the doctor.
They attached his real estate and bank ac
counts and demand the refunulng OF the
Sl5, 900 won by him.
1t is that case which is now on trial. Dr.,
Thornton is a specialist in a number of
diseases. His method of treatment for
cancer has brought him, it is said, single
fees as high Jas $4,000 1t is said that in
the case of Charlotte Cushman, the act
