OPPOSE THE TRUST.
Pittsburg Nail Manufa cturers Disfavor the
Combine.

fltLeDurG NAL manufacturers DiefAvOr the
Combine.
PTTTsBURG, July 26.-The Times pub
fishes the following: The cut nail trust
proposed at the meeting of manufacturers
in Wheeling on Wednesday is not regard
ed with much favor by the Pittsburg nail
manufacturers, and it is improbable that
they will enter into any pooling arrange.
ment, although they are willing to fix
upon card rate and maintain it. Jo1eph
D. Weeks, of the american Manufacturer,
who was secretary of the defunct Western
Nail Association, said yesterday on this
subject:
There was a pool among the Wheeling
and other Western nail mills to maintain
prices by restricting production. This
went to pieces under the action of certain
Wheeling mills, who refused TO be longer
bound. The movement now on foot is to
enable the cut nail to compete with the
wire nail, by reducing the gauge of the
plate and also the formation of trust.
At best, the chances are that any relief
which these propositions may give would
only be temporary. The fact is that the
capacity for the production Of cut nails is
much too large for any probable demand
in the near future, and that the wire nail
is supplsnting the cut nail, notwithstand-
ing the repeated assertions Of the nail
manufacturers that the cat pail is better
than the wire nail"

NEW YORK, July 26.-Rumors have
been in circulation here that Mary Ander-
son was confined in an insane asylum in
England. A csb,egram received this
morning denies the report, and states
that Miss Anderson's health remains un-
changed.
Edward Michael, ]. w. Pigotps man
sgsr, who has returned from London, said !:
81 have heard great deal about Mary
Anderson in London. Her condition is
talked about in the clubs and everywhere.
She is not in private asylum, but people
think that she is losirg her head. While
her physical condition is excellent, her
memory is gone. She cannot remember
things that happen from day to day. II
asked where she slept on the preceding
night she would hesitate. They ssy in

that she has positively retired. Iwss told

BUSTED TRUST.

East Liverpool POtters won's Go Lotto the
Combine.
PITsBURG, July 26.-Mr. Harker, OF
the Harker Pottery Company, East Liver
pool, o., was at the Monongahela House
yesterday. In q chat about the pottery
trust, he said ths combine would not be
made, and that the East Liverpool firms
wonld rot go into it as the arrangement
are at present, and there Is no other tsngi'
bic one. The trouble is with the Trenton
firms, many of whom are in debt and mort
gagged, and their plants only valuable on
account of sites. They wish 10 go in With
stock according to their capital, while their
output is small in comparison to other
firms with q good deal less capital. To
this the smaller, but more prosperous
firms object. No trust could be formed
without the Trenton firms or the East
Liverpool firms, so it does not loOk much
p though it will be possible to reach any
tangible combination.

LUST LEAD TO CRIME.
THB HORRIBLE DIED OF A RITCHlB
COUNTY FATHER.
His Treatment Of His MOthsrlsss Daughter Revealed
By Her Marrisgs-A Criminal Compact
Which Satan Might Have Made.
The Testimony.

ELLENBoRo, W. VA, July 26.-This
community has been in the throes of ex-
element over horrible crime which has
ust been brought to light. The crime ia
nothing less than incest, of peculiarly re-
voting character, and the criminal we'll
known citizen, who has always stood high
in the community.
On Tuesday James f. Goodwin was az
rested and arraigned before Squire Thomas
Hess, of Harrisville, on a warrant charg-
ing him with incest with his own daugh-
ter, a motherless child. The history Of
the case is full of
HORRIBLE DETAILS.
The Ritchie Gazette publishes it as fol-
lows: On the 4sh day of July, 1889,
Jacob Doyle was married to Zsnnetta
Goodwin, the motherless daughter of
James Goodwin. All resided in the same
house as we'll as five other children of
Goodwin. In his evidence before the jus-
tice, Doyle swore that his wife arose from
her bed by his side, on the night of the
7th of July, and that when she returned
he taxed her with improper conduct,
and che finally admitted her guilt and
that her father had debsuched her. Ga
the night of the Goth of July, she again
arose from her bed, and this time he fol-
lowed her, and beheld the evidences Of
crime, the girl again admitted her guilt in
the presence of her father.
James Goodwin on the witness stand de-
clared under oath that this was all an in
famous lie.
Zsnnetta Doyle is not quite seventeen
years old and is a pretty girl. She was
sworn as witness, and although not hsv-
ing heard her husbands evidence, corrobor-
ated it in a manner most convincing, ad-
mittiug her own guilt.
In connection with Zennetta's story comes
the most terrible part of this dark iniquity.
She made affidavit, before the trial, that
before her father would consent to her mar
risge with Doyle, he compelled her to agree
to engage in infamy with him. And so in
accordance with this compact, OF which
Lucifer himself might be proud, she sinned
that sorrow and shame might overwhelm
her and hers.
The above was all the evidence taken in
the case, but on the strength of it Good
win was held by the Justice to answer an
Indictment. The feeling in the matter is
very strong, and it will not be surprising
if the people of this community manifest
their indignation before the law has taken
it's course.

BEGGAR ROYALTIES
Scored Again In the House se-BradIaug
Does II

Scored Again In the House-Bradlaugh
Does IL.
LONDON, July 26.-When the debate of
the royal grants was roIumed in the House
of Commons to-day, Mr. Bradlaugh said
he found difficulty in discussing the ques-
ton. Much of the argument in favor of
the grants WAS made on the erroneous idea
that the Crown, under the Civil List acts,
from George | onward, surrenders its pri-
vate property in exchange for civil list.
Neither George |. nor his successor, Mr..
Bradlsugh declared, surrendered any thing.
The present Royal family never surrend-
cred anything Of farthiDg value to the
country. The committee Of inquiry had
ELECTED the fact that during the present
reign the savings upon certain classes un-
der the civil list act, instead Of being sp-
piled to defray the charges of other classes,
had been handed TO the Q Iesn, without
the authority OF Parliament and in breach
of the statute. Cries of ''Hesr, hear"
Rt. Hon. W. II. Smith, the govern
ment leader, had denied that the alleged
savings of the Queen were over CO 600, 600,
but he declined to show how much money
had either been saved by the Q1een, or
drawn by the other members Of the royal
family from all sources. Mr.. Brsdlaugh
said there ought to be no hing to conceal.
The fact Of the concealiDg led to exagger-
ated ideas. Ths refusal OF the government
to disclose the wealth amassed by royalty
justified the aversion Of the country to
royal grants Cheers
Lord Randolph Churchill argued that
the original demands of the government
were just, besides being in conformity with
precedent II burdens were thrown upon
the crown, not intended under the civil
list, it would impair the credit OF the
nation and Of parliament.
Mr.. Lsbouchere's motion TO adopt his
substitute for the report of tbs royal grants
commission, was rejected by vote Of 295
to 116 Mr. Morley will on Monday move
an amendment, declaring that the House
is unwilling to Increase the burdens
of the people without assurance that no
further claims will be made for younger
members ofthe Royal. family. Mr. Glad
stone, Mr.. Morley, Sir Wm. Vernon Har-
court, Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. O'Brien and the
bulk of the Liberals and Psrnellites
voted with the majority. The Radical
minority included Sir G. o. Trevelyan,
Richard Chamberlain and T. ?. o COnnor.
