DENVER, July Yesterday after
noon papers were served upon ex-Sena-
tor Hill, owner of the Denver Republi-
can, X. G. Cooper, its manager, and
VIM. r. Stapleton, managing editor,
citing them to appear before Judge
Stewart of the district court on
Wednesday morning to answer to a
charge of contempt. The offense is
claimed to be in the publication of
certain editorials in the Republican

Stewart in issuing a writ of habeas
corpus for the release of the deputy
secretary of state Wyatt, who had been
sentenced to ten days imprisonment by
Judge Stone, of the criminal court for
contempt before him. Wyatt made
the affidavit upon which the papers for

ONE TRUST ABOUT DEAD.

The straw Board Manufacturers
Combination on she Verge or DIssO-
lutI0n.
NEW YORK, July 13.-It is reported
among the paper box manufacturers
that the straw board trust, one of the
most powerful manufacturing combin-
atoms ever established, has given up
the fight and that it is only a question
of a few days when the pool will be
broken. This rumOr is partly confirm
ed by the decline in the past week of
from $l2 to SIS per ton in the price of
straw boards, which enter so largely
into the manufacture of paper boxes.
About five years ago the owner of all
the straw board mills in the country
organized a pool to control the price,
and so successful were their operations
that $50 a ton was asked for the man
ufactured article. This eXOrbitant figure
was resisted by the paper box manu-
facturerS, but all the conferences look
Ing to compromise came to nothing
and the managers of StrawbOard or
ganiZed a still closer combination last
spring. The programme included the
closing of all the small mills in the
country, and when. this arrangement
went1 into effect on April the price
was further advanced until it reached
S45 ton during the first week of the
present month.
Several meetings of the paper box
manufacturers were held. at which it
was resolved to withhold purchases.
They were supported in their position
by the dull itrade and large sur
plus stock in the ware houses. 1t was
not long before large mill owner in
New York state offered to make a con-
ceSsiOn and the rumOr0d cut WAS at
beers of the trust. A general shading
in prices took place, and straw boards
were offered in every direction at S33
per ton 1t was even reported yester-
day that as low as S32 per ton would
be accepted. The paper box manufac-
turers believe they have gained the
day and that the straw board trust
would soon be a thing of the past.

The Charter Election in oklahoma
City.


KANSAS CITY, Suly 16.-A special to
the Times from Oklahoma City, l.. T.,
says: At o'clock this morning in de-
fance OF Mayor COUGHS proclama-
ton and the recent order of General
Merritt, an attempt was made by
faction to hold charter election.
The polling places were established
and around each of these great crowds
of people gathered long before the
hour for opening the polls. Near each
polling place were stationed squads of
United States soldiers and detach-
ments of special police sworn in by the
| mayor to assist him in carrying out
| the terms of his proclamation. Both
| the soldiers and police came in for
their share of curses from the charter
| faction who looked upon any inter-
| ference with the rights of American
| citizens. Mayor Couch accompanied
| by City Marshal KuntZ approached the
| polling place at Broadway and de-
manded of the men in charge by what
right they were holding an election,
by the right of the people," they re-
piled.
The mayor thereupon commanded
| the election to cease and the crowds to
dispense. Both commands were DISC
| beyed and the mayor and marshal then
took possession of the poll books and
ballot boxes and conveyed them to the
city hall, where they locked them up.
They then proceeded to the second
polling place and repeated the proceed
ing. \ few minutes later the mayor
and marshal were both arrested on .
warrant sworn out by the United
States commissioner, Spears, of Guth-
RE, on a charge of intimidation and
interfering with the exercise of citi-
zens' rights. They went before United
States Commissioner Somers of this
city, who discharged them after hear
ing the evidence. No conflicts occur
red between the factions, although the
situation appeared threatening at one
time. A meeting of the charter fac
ton was held tonight and it was de-
termined by its members to make
further attempt to hold the election at
a fUtura time

that bears the signatures of the chief

and others. The locomotive engineers,
through Z. NJ. Arthur, true to their
principle of exclusiveness and antago-
nism to other labor organizations, have
kept out of this action of the others,
and thereby heightened the bitter feel
ing existing against them among other
trades.
This circular is the outcome of a
conference held some time agoi in Phil
adelphia, the object being the forma-
ton of an alliance between the organic
cations represented by the signatures.
It has been issued privately to the or
CARNATIONS, and is not supposed to be
known to the public. If the alliance Is
realized it will be the most form1d-
| able labor organization that ever ex-
listed in the United States or elsewhere.
The circular calls upon all organiZa-
tions of labor to strengthen and solidi-
| fy their ranks to the ultimate end OF
| bringing within their membership every
man and woman in America who tolls.
A convention of delegates is be
called if the various organizations ap-
prove of the plan for the purpose OF

The Y. P.S. c. E. of West Not
tingham, which was organized abolst
the middle of December last. already
gives promise of abundant success.
The membership has rapidly in
creased, and now comprises large
portion of the aOorking element Of
the church. The. secret of success
lies in the fact that there are no
drones. All active members are
cheerful workers. The society has
a regular organization with the GUS
tonary officers and number of spec
ial committees. Besides other work
a weekly prayer meeting is held for
one hour on Friday evenings, diff
ferent leader being chosen for each
meeting. There are two classes of
members and associate. The former
being members of church the latter
non-members.
The following cases lately decided
by the court-of appeals are of inter
est to Cecil countians.
The case of Seminar and Gamble
has been finally disposed of by
decision hostile to Mr.. Seminar.
The case of Janney vs. Housekeeper
and Clifford which was tried in Har.
ford county and appealed by the
plaintiff, has been decided in confor
nifty with the verdict in favor of the
defendants. In affirming the judge
ment of the court below in favor OF
the defendants, the court of Appeals
through Judge Yellott says: SIT
was the duty of the professional men
to exercise ordinary care and skill,
and this being a duty imposed by
law, it will be presumed that the OPP.
GRAFTON was carefully and skillfully
performed in the absence of proof to
the contrary"
The Lyons.Reckefus case, in
which the court of Appeals few
weeks ago made ruling uninten-
tionally dismissing the bill, has been
passed upon again and an order
issued modifying the original ruling.
The result is that decree will at
once be obtained authorizing an i'm.
mediate sale of a larger portion of
the real estate left by the late
Andrew Lyon.
