SUGAR MARKET EASED.
A DECISION IN THE AMERICAN RE-
FINERY CASE.
The Property Temporarily Released From
the Receivership - Granulated Sugar
Immediately Takes a Drop.

SAN Francisco, June 9.-The supreme
court rendered decision in banc today
in the case of Theodore A. Havemeyer
and others against the superior court of
the city and county of San Francisco,
being an application for writ of pro-
hibition to restrain the superior court
and receiver OF said court from acting on
the order appointing said receiver. The
case arises out Of the decision of January
8, 1890, declaring the charter of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
San Francisco, forfeited and impos-
ing fine of $4,000 for violation
of it's provisions. The effect of the
judgment today is to release the refinery
from the control of the receiver and all
orders of the superior court, pending a
decision on the refining company's ap-
peal, which is now under advisement
by the supreme court.
The understanding that the refinery
would be allowed to resume business for
the time being, caused some excitement
in the local market, as it meant the
throwing upon the market OF sixteen
thousand barrels of sugar, which have
been warehoused since February 18th,
when the refinery doors were closed.
Manager Mott, of the refinery, at once
made a number of changes in the prices
of sugar, reducing granulated from "a
to 63o

BIGGEST COMBINE YET,
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC AND ATCHI-
SON TO UNITE.
Jay Gould Getting Ready to Lease the
Missouri Pacific to the Santa Fe Peo-
ple-Details of the Scheme

CHICAGO, June 9.-The I5mes's New
York special says: A railroad combina-
ton far bigger than anything yet at
tempted is being quietly discussed among
well-informed railroad men-the ANAL
gamation of the great Missouri Pacific
and Atchison systems. The recent rate
wars in the west, taken in connection
with the strong rival combinations
lNrraea against ~ .Nissc ari Pacific, 1t is
believed, have strengthened Gould's de-
sire to withdraw from that particular
field, providing he can do SO without
any sacrifice of property. The scheme is
something like this: 1t is proposed
that Gould shall buy the Chicago and
Alton road. This proposition will be
covered by collateral trust mortgage,
so the Missouri Pacific's present capital
stock of about $44 900, 900 will not be
increased. Having grated the Chicago
and Alton on to his Missouri
Pacific system, Gould will lease
the entire system to the Atchison peo-
pie, the latter to guarantee certain per-
centage per annum on the Missouri Pa
citic stock. The exact amount of this
guarantee is the bone of contention.

Chancellor Caprivi Pays Delicate Com
pliment to His Predecessors Fas-

LONDON; June 9.-In an interview
with correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph, Bismarck declared that new con-
cessions to the nihilists, with over-educa-
ton, had led to much dissatisfaction
and disappointment in Germany, but in
Russia it led to disaffection and conspir-
acy. There were ten times as many
people educated for the higher walks as
there were places to fill. Further, edu-
cation was making pedantic theorists
and visionaries unfit for constitutional
government. 1t would be madness to
put such in authority. The Russians
do not know yet what they want; they
must therefore be ruled with a rod of
iron. Referring to the labor question,
the prince ridiculed the idea that The
workmen would ever be contented /;
because, he said, the rich are never con-
tented. He spoke strongly against any
dictation as to the hours of labor and
against usurping the rightful authority
OF parents over their children.

FOUGHT FOR GORE.
SAN FRANCISCO WATERS QUENCH
JEALOUSY IN THE RING.
A Bloody Twelve-Round Battle to Decide
Who Should Win the Fair Prize-Prob-
ably Fatal Results.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-This evening
Harry Mcbride and Frank La Rue, two
walters, quarreled over a girl named
Maggie Tobin, after which they agreed
to adjourn to the Golden Gate Club and
fight with three-ounce gloves. Young
Murphy acted as referee, Joe Bowers as
La Rue's second and Tim Mcguire as
McBrides.
Twelve rounds were fought and at the
end OF the twelfth, while La Rue had
not mark, Mcbride was unconscious
and beaten all to pieces. Blood was
pouring from his ears, nose and mouth,
and his face and body were terribly
bruised and mangled. Physicians
were called, who ascertained that
bloodvessel had been broken in
McBride's head, and he will probably
die. La Rue was arrested and held at
the police station. No charge is en-
tered against him as yet.

BRITISH COMMONS.
The American Tariff on Cutlery Causes
Anxiety.

AhAActys
LONDON, June 9.-In the commons to-
day Vincent called the attention of the
house to the fact that the house of rep
resentatives at Washington had passed
bill for enhanced prohibitory duties
on cutlery, tin plate and other articles of
British export. He asked whether the
English government, having regard for
the disastrous effect which the senate's s
approval must have upon Sheffield, the
Midlands, South Wales and Belfast.
would adhere to their view that the free
import system of the United Kingdom
precluded instruction to the British
minister at Washington to rep
resent to the United States
government the injury hat
such legislation would do to the industry
OF friendly power which in 1889 gave
free market to EOS 100000 worth o'
American competition goods Secretary
Ferguson said the government had not
been informed of any important altera-
tions in the tariff bill.
Dillon spoke of the danger to the pub
lie peace from the violent and unconsti-
tutional action of the magistrates and
police at Cashel and Tipperary at recent
meetings.
Gladstone supported Dillon's motion
to adjourn.
Balfour said force was sent to Tip
perary to preserve order. If anything
serious happened the blame would rest
upon those who defed the government
proclamations.
Dillon's motion to adjourn was lost.

the railroad company. Accompanying
the bill is letter from the commissioner

Company WOrsted.

company WOrsted.
COLUMBUS, O., June 9.-The Consol-
ldated Street Railway Company at
tempted to run cars this morning. Two
cars were run out under police protec-
ton, but strikers swarmed around and
deralled them, and drove the new con-
ductors and drivers off. There were
great crowds at the scene. The en-
ployees of many large establishments
laid off to help the strikers. The COM
pany contemplates calling on the gov
ernment for militia.
The police had no control and did not
pretend to give protection to the new
employees, their sympathies being
plainly with the strikers, despite the
mayor s orders. Over 1000 people were
massed within couple of squares, and
the excitement was intense. The driver
OF the second car was afterwards escorted
to the depot and placed on train.
Mayor Bruck then issued orders that no
more cars should be run today. After
this order was soon restored and the
strikers dispersed very jubilant.
The company is discouraged and at
tributes their inability to run the cars
to the lack of police protection. A con-
sultation was had with Adjutant-Gen-
eral Hawkins in regard to calling out
the militia, but he thought the necessity
had not arisen. The city council to-
night adopted resolution calling for
the arbitration of the matter and in
structing the city solicitor, if the COM
pany refuses to arbitrate, to institute
proceedings for the revocation of it's
charter. The company contemplates
another effort to start the cars tomor-
row. Their manager says they will
neither arbitrate nor advance wages.

Wreck-Nine Taken Out Dead and
Many Crippled. 4
Associated Press Dispatches. |

ST.. LOUIS, June GA very serious
railroad wreck is reported from Warren
ton, Mo-, sixty-one miles west of here ON
the Wabash road. Two freight trains
collided just outside of Warrenton this
morning; both engines and eighteen
cars were wrecked. Seven men were
killed and seven were wounded. OF
eight palace horse-cars, laden with race
horses en- route for the Kansas City
races, two were wrecked and the seven
men in charge of the horses were re-
ported killed, but no names have yet
been received. Fifteen horses have also
been killed. A number of trainmen
are injured.
The horses in the wrecked train were
en- route from Latonia to Kansas City to
take part in the races. Following are
the casualties.
Killed-William II. Thomas, Gym
thiana, Ky; Henry Stone, trainer,
Harrodsburg, Ky; James Kelley, Chi
cago; Ed Simons, hostler, Lexington,
KY; Morris Green (colored), frankie fort,
KY; Samuel Davis, jockey, Lexington,
Ky.
Injured-William Taylor (colored),
trainer, Covington, Ky, arm broken
Louis Augustus (colored), Harrodsburg,
Ky, left thigh broken; George Hurley
(colored), Cynthiana, KY; Lee Brown,
Louisville, arm broken; Merritt John
son (colored), st. Louis, arm broken.
The scene at the wreck was terrible.
Cars and engines intermingled in one
huge mass of debris, from under which
came the screams of the wounded and
dying-some cursing and begging to be
killed, while others were praying for
help. A negro boy was scalded and lit
orally cooked alive, and one colored
jockey was buried under shelled corn,
from which position it took several men
three hours to eXtricate him. A force
Of men worked from a. m. until z, res
cuing the unfortunates, and had it not
been for steady rain the loss OF life
would have been much greater, as the
wreckage would have caught fire.
There were in all eight dead taken
out, four whites and four negros, and
two may die. The eighth body is that
OF Frank Morton, of New York.
Both engines are complete wreck,
and about six palace stock cars were
demolished, with very fine blooded
horses. 1t is impossible to find out
how many horses were killed, as there
are great many still under the wreck.
1t has been estimated that the loss to
the company will be 100000. Nine
horses have been found so far that are
killed, while great many more are
badly wounded. There were seventy in
all on the train.
The names of the horses killed are
Little Prince, and two-year-old in the
same car; Ben Ridgley, Pattie Park,
Egypt, Lige p, Spring, Dave and
Turner. The mare Huntress was badly
injured, and is expected to die.

The DOnOhue Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Judge Mahon,
of San Rafael, today confirmed the sales
of property of the estate of Mervyn M.
Donohue, thus settling the question of
community property. An appraisement
of the estate has been filed by the ap-
praisers, who valued the stock, bonds
and railroad stock, over and above rail
road mortgages, at 50, 100000, and the
real estate at about 100000. The
only mortgages on real estate are
small ones on property at
Litton Springs and some property in
Santa Rosa, the amounts being trifling.
The only other indebtedness is mort
gage held by the Seligmans, OF New
York, on the railroad property, and the
executors have at this time in their
hands a sufficient amount of money to
meet these obligations and release the
road from all claims held by the Selig-
mans.

Rivalry for Young Lady's Affections
Causes Terrible Crime.
ToRRINGToN, Conn.,, June "a stab
bing affray occurred in Harrington, a
town few miles from here, last night,
which will probably result in the death
OF two young men. The stabbing was
the result of dispute over young lady
residing in Harrington named Jennie
Hale. The principals in the affray are
Waldo T. Latham, aged %, of Water
bury, and Leslie Curtis, of Tor
rington. Both men had been
paying attentions to the lady.
Latham was the favorite one.
Sunday when he was driving her home
from church, they met Curtis. He
stopped them, and, in the quarrel which
followed, plunged knife into Lathams s
abdomen and then ran away. Miss
Hale got Latham in the carriage and
took him home in a dying condition.
An hour later Curtis called, and, on be-
ing told that Latham could not live,
drew knife and plunged it into his
own breast, He cannot recover.

COwLES'S CONDITION
Considered PrecariOus-The Abduction
Case Settled.

MONTREAL, June &C. G. Hale, of
Cleveland, o., appeared in the superior
court this morning on the charge of
shooting with intent to kill his brother
in-law, Eugene H. Cowles, son of the
late Edwin Cowles, of the Cleveland
Leader. There also appeared Mrs.
Cowles and her daughter Florence,
whom the nuns brought into court on a
preliminary order at the request of Mrs.
Cowles's attorney. A writ of habeas
corpus for the production of the child in
court in legal form was issued, returnable
this afternoon.
Cowles is resting easily, but his tenn
perature indicates septic complications.
The bullet passed through the right
side of the neck, between the inter
nal and external carotid arteries, passed
under the chin below the lingual
arteries, fractured the jaw, and emerged
on the left side
Cowes when interviewed by repre-
sentative of the Associated Press,
affirmed that what he had done was
done under the advice of the best legal
talent in the United States and Canada !;
that he and his wife were on the way to
an amicable settlement, and he depre-
Gated Hale's interference. He expressed
the warmest interest in his family and
only resented outside interference.
Later in the afternoon Cowles an
nounced his willingness to surrender the
child to his wife, and signed an order on
the convent to that effect. This proba-
bly, settles the abduction case. Cowles's
condition tonight is serious, he having
been feeble from lung trouble before the
shooting. Hale is stopping at the St.
Louis with friends, under the surveil-
lance of officers.
