THE SALT TRUST.
W. * Eurt's Travelling Companion In
tersfeWed la New York.

New YORK, June 3.-Charles Burger
and Wellington K. Burt, who have
been visiting England a representa-
t.ves Of the company which ls 10 be
formed for the unlfcaton OF American
salt interests, arrived in New York yes
terday on board the Umbria. Mr.. Bur
ger was seen al his home in Brooklyn
by reporter. tie Was somewhat retl-
cent Iu his account OF what he had
been able to accomplish IN England
on behalf of the home movement.
a movement" ne SAID, ''having the
support OF Erastus Wiman, Judge Com
stock, OF Syracuse; Franklin Woodruff
OF the Produce Exchange, and other
leading salt dealers, is ON foot for the
formation OF Il company TO control the
imported English salt and To make salt
here. The saltindustry III this country
* almost crippled by the wholesale
dumping of English salt IN New York
and other Eastern ports, and by
the rivalry between small manu-
facturers and dealers who have
been actively cutting each other :
ttTOats by low prices, without dong
any good 10 themselves or the consumer.
The company has already got the op-
ton for over sixty small salt manufac-
tories which Will toe bought up as soon
as it Is incorpol plated. We propose To
take into our haoes the manufacture
and distribution of pure American
salt throughout the country. We shall
also distribute salt sent here
by leading producers on the other
side. All the manufacturers with
whom We have treated IN England are
members of the English salt Union,
which was based upon suggestions made
by me, and has been a great success"
When asked whether the company
would be international, Mr.. Burger
said that the company would be purely
American, but that any English IN
vestor with sufficient capital would be
welcome. The company, he said, would
be Incorporated soon with a capital of
nearly $4,000, 900. Then he reduced
the sum 10 10000 900, and finally de-
clined 10 name any specific figures.

Two hundred blue-n0sed ball eranks
with chatterine teeth witnessed the de-
feat Of the home team BY the bra"ny
sons OF Saginaw yesterday. The grounds
were hardly in condition, and the mud
made the fielding Of grounders very
difficult matter. Right where the snort
stop stands was large mudDuddle
about fifteen feet square, and tins
proved a snare 10 Mcmahon, who had
tao errors in consequence.
The home team played loose game
and made seven errors, while the Nagl-
naws hlt hard and safe and Out-played
the home team ali around. The Grand
Rapids were IN hard luck al the bat
Thss made several good hits, bat >one-
how there was one OF those Saginaw
fellows there evsry time, and they went
out. Mcmahon made the only clean
bona fide base hit for Grand Rapids.
The Saginaws would hit liners just over
the luiield or close 10 the base line Just
where there was Il vacancy, and run
the tases IN good style.

Meakim stopped a hot liner away out
IN center field and then threw Jahns
out At the home plate. Dixon also made
"A splendid throw 10 the home plate
from left field. Spindler and Meakim
each made brilliant catches after long
run.
The new umpire, keyes, Is a hard
worker and attentive to the game. lis
voice Is like a fog-horn, and the sound
of his decisions strikes against the
back fence with whack and are
echoed To the grand stand.
The management have added four
feet TO the height of the fence, and one
would think tins would discourage the
crowd who have been sponging their
ball games by standing in carriages and
peering over the fence, but there was
one persistent beat who stood on a step
ladder over by the east fence and
shivered through the game.
