Judge Blodgett Imposes It In an Inter.
state Commerce Case.
CHICAGO, ILI., Nov. 25.--Judge Blodgett,
in tire United States district court this
morning. rendered decision which closely
affects the efficiency of the interstate COM
merce law for the pun shment of persons
and corporations found guilty Of making
secret special rates. The interstate COM
merce commission, in response to complaints
that rates from points west Of Chicago have
been manipulated In the interests of certain
favored shippers, caused an inq Try into
the matter TO pe made by the federal grand
jury.
GRAIN BROKER CALLED.
Among the witnesses called was Charles
Counselman, a prominent dealer on the
board of trade. He was asked If he had not
received rebates on consgnments or grain
over the principal railroad lines from the
west, and under the advice Of his counsel
declined to answer, on the ground that TO do
50 would tend to oriminate him
pear before Judge Blodgett and
make answer why he should not be
compelled torespond to the queries. The
matter was argued yesterday, and this
morning Judge Blodgett gave his decision,
holding that Couselman must answer.
FINE OF $4,000
1nasmuch as there was no direct appeal
from the ruling under the statutes, Counsel
man went at once before the federal grand
jury aud again refused TO answer the ques--
tions. This fact was reported to Judge
Blodgett who thereupon imposed fine
of $500, 900 upon Counselman and ordered
him into the custody of the United States
marshal until the fine should be paid. This
developed an appe&lable case. The next
move will be for a writ of habeas corpus
before Judge Gresham, aud upon refusal an
appeal will be taken to the United States
supreme court, as the case involves a con-
stitutional question.

Six MEN BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Boilers Explode in a Mill at st. John
with Fatal Results.


ST. JOHN, N. b., Nov. 25.-At South
Bay this morning the boilers in l. d. Sut-
toms mill exploded, killing six men. Sew
eral others were 80 seriously injured that
they are not expected to live. From what
can be learned the boilers were low, the
water was turned on and the per-
son In charge neglected to turn
it off, with the result that the
boilers overfiowed and exploded. One boiler
went through the end of the mill into the
bay, a distance of 500 feet. The other
landed on hill 100 yards distant. An old
man named Henry Kaird went into the
building a few minutes before the explosion
to dry himself, climbing on top OF the
boilers. He was carried with the boiler that
went into the bay, and was torn in pieces.
Kaird's son was also killed. The mill took
fire and was destroyed.
