large tracts of timber land in this Statc
This large amount of property cannot

The general plan Of Il hoard of three

the same men to act as joint agents of
the other property consisting largely Of

difficult for all the heirs to agree upon the

>pect the jail there on request Of Deputy
Sheriff Mitchell. They say the jail is sad

are good locks On the outer doors Of the
structure but none ON the doors Of the
cells and they will report the matter tc
the County Commissioners and recon
mend that suitable locks be provided
without delay.
1t is stated that some persons have at
tempted to supply the notorious Bartley
with implements for Jail breaking but
the jailer has discovered the tools before
they reached the prisoner.
1t would seem that the cells ought to
be made secure so that the inmates could
be kept separate, especially such men as

Planning for a Rise,

The New York Herald says there is
scarcely any room 10 doubt that the Sug
n Trust is preparing to make a vigorous
battle to sustain present prices, il not t,
force them still higher Previous to the
first advance year ago, the storage OF
large quantities of refined sugar WAS
thing unheard of. The price of granula-
ted sugar at retail was then about six
and one-half cents per pound; now the
same article sells at ten cents pound.
For more than two months past the
trust has been rushing the storage OF
sugar with the Warehouse Trust, and to
day there is scarcely dry, clean, avail
able warehouse on the Brooklyn water
front that has not some refined sugar
stored in it. There is very little doubt
but that the combine is preparing tC
squeeze the market by still further adj
yaucing the price of this necessary of life
and it would be useless to attempt t.
deny that a very bitter feeling is arising
against the magnates of the Sugar Trust.
From all that can now be learned at lcas
300, 900 barrels of sugar are now locked
mp, the value of which, at present prices
is something enormous, and it is likely to
be still more unless the trust scheme il
foiled by the wholesale and retail grocer'
and the public.
