SUGAR TRUST DECISION.
The North River Refining Company Co
demned.

The North River Refining Company Con-
demned.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-The general
term of the Supreme Court handed down
decisions, among them being the long
expected one in the case Of the North
River Sugar Refining Company, which
was some time ago incorporated in the
sugar trust. The decision was written
by Justice Daniels, Presiding Justice
Van Brunt and Justice Brady concurring-
In his opinion, Justice Daniels, after
speaking of the sugar trust, says: 1.-THE
laws do not require that an instrument
of this kind shall affirm the intention
prevent competition and control the
market or advance the price of the neces-
sary commodities. II it did, it would
by the requirements supply device for
evading it's wholesome restrainSt and
render its principles utterly nuga-
tory. In this case it was leading object
of the com bine to gather the different
corporations and individuals employed
in the business throughout the country
and to secure control of them for an in
definite period of time. This was done
to place the business within the control
of the association and derive pecuniary
benefit from such action. When control
is secured in this way human selfshness
is sure to turn it to profitable account.
A jury certainly would be justified in
concluding from the facts and the evil
dence in the case that the governing OBJ
iect of the association was to raise the
price of the product by limiting the sup
ply That the intention of this combi-
nation, agreement, association or what
ever else it may be called, was to raise
the price of a necessary of life by limit
ing the supply is apparent and as such
is subject to the condemnation of the
law, by which it is denounced as GRIM
ina1 enterprise"
The court held that the object Of the
trust plainly was to create monopoly,
that such acts are unlawful and there
fore the judgment of the lower court
(which is against the trust) is affirmed.

sandbasgsd- Discharged,
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Mrs. Mandio
Morgan, who is said to be an impor-
tant witness for the prosecution in the
Cronin case, was sandbagged by
an unknown person, and as result of
the blow is now in a dangerous condi-
ton. Mrs Morgan was returning
from visit about $50 O'Clock. To
shorten the distance she walked
through the alley in the rear of the
house. She had just entered the alley
when person closely wrapped in a
heavy shawl, stepped from the shadow
of the building and dealt her heavy
blow on the head. Had it not been
for her roll of hair the blow would
probably have killed her. For nearly
an hour Mrs. Morgan was uncon-
scious. Upon recovering she de-
scribed her assailant as a man dis
guised as a woman. The police are
searching for the person.

An Editor Refuses q Retractfon and
Trouble Follows.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 1O.-Detective
.Kilroy, candidate for street commits
sioner, attempted to kill Norman E.
Mack, editor of the Times, for publish
ing an article last Sunday, charging
him with having stabbed Thomas Nc
Auliffe over card quarrel some time
ago. The story was considerably ex-
aggerated and Kilroy demanded re-
traction. This was demanded from
time to time until KilrOy went
to the Times Office and called
on Mack. a quarrel ensued
and Kilroy rushed at Mack with
his hand apparently on weapon in
his hip pocket, when Editor Crosby
rushed between them and stopped the
Infatuated man. Mack subsequently
went up stairs to the editorial rooms,
Kilroy following and swearing. When
half way up the stairs Detectives
Crowly and Taylor, who had been sum-
moned, arrived, and bore the drunken
and Infatuated man away. The Times
is out with an article denouncing Kill
roy and preferring further charges, and
further trouble is expected.

Coal Miners I'm . had Plight.

SPRING VALLEY, Kan, Nov. TO-
The prospects of settlement here are
not as bright as few days ago. The
men agreed, in conference, with the
coal company's superintendent to a
form of contract and it was forwarded
to Mr.. Scott for his approval. Instead
of an answer he has sent in some new
miners from Pennsylvania. The con-
tributions for the relief of the needy
have fallen off in consequence of the
false statements that settlement had
been made and the miners relief COM

on their hands in want of food, coal

Moro Evidenee Agninst the Cons parneurn-
The Murdered Doctors Clothes Found In
= Sewer Near Where the Bloody Trunk
Was Discovered.
CHICAGO, Nov. e.-The sensation In
connection with the all-absorbing Gro
min case yesterday was the finding OF
the surgical case and clothes of the
murdered physician and the forging of
another link in the chain of circumstan-
tial evidence that clanks ominously
around the conspirators. For some time
complaints have been made to the sewer
department. of the Lakeview station
that the sewer at the intersection of
Evanston avenue and Buena avenue
was flush and running over. Yesterday
TWO or three sewer cleaners were detailed
to inv estigate the cause of this trouble.
The cover was removed from the man
hole in the center of the street and with
the long poles the workmen prodded
among the rubbish beneath the water.
Finally solid resistance was encoun-
tered and the workmen then realized
that it was something more than allu-
vial deposit that was causing the trouble.
After some hooking and digging two
va1ises were unearthed-one a leather
one and the other the remnants
of . paper one. In the leather va
lise was found DR.. Cronin's prescription
book with several prescriptions bearing
his signature. The paper one dropped
into pieces as it was pulled out and from
it rolled out a mass of tattered clothing
that bore evidence of having been cut
in strips by sharp knifo. The only in
tact garment was the vest which was in
the center, and which encircled the
doctors case of surgical instru-
ments- The clothing had evidently
been cut and buttons removed in the
hope that they would soon drop apart
and be borne away in the waters of the
lake. The surgical case and prescrip-
ton book bore the doctors name. and
they. as we'll as every article OF out
ward clothing, were recognized by
the COnklins and other friends
as the property of the murdered
physician. The most damaging of all
circumstances for the prisoners is the
fact that all this was found only one
block from the spot where the bloody
trunk was discovered after it had been
thrown hurriedly from the wagon on
the night of May 4, or half mile south
of the spot where DIR. Cronin's body was
found. The paper valise is supposed to
have been the one purchased by 81. r.
Simmonds'' from A. FL. Revel1 6 Co.,
and to-day a clerk from that establish
ment will endeavor to identify the rem
