MONTREAL, Oct 23.-J. F. Nathan, an

is not meeting with any success. Birchall

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Judge Pratt Files n Decision on n
Preliminary Motion to Modify the
Injunction.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Judge Pratt of
Brooklyn fled this decision this morning
in the case of Cameron vs.. Havemeyer, be-
ing what is known as the sugar trust liti-
cation, on preliminary motion to modify
the injunction:
Want of time and pressing duties pre-
vent such a careful examination of the
papers before me, as would like to make
before acting on the present motion. Be-
sides, do not see any pressing necessity
for an immediate decision, as the matter
will be fully argued in very short time.
Indeed, reflection has satisfied me that the
proposed modification of the injunction in
wolves questions of SO serious 3 character
that they ought not to be disposed of in
such summary manner. If, however, the
defendant or any persons in interest feel
that serious inconvenience will result from
this disposition of the matter, will fix an
earlier date for hearing on the merits. I
will hear the whole matter tomorrow or
Saturday, on two hours notice to the
plaintiff, which is far preferable to hear
ing the matter in part.

MURDERED Fon HIS MONEY.

How an Old Man Who Disbelieved
I'm Banks Was Killed.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Michael BRAZIL, an
aged and respected resident of the suburb
an town of Desplaines, was brutally muir
dered by three tramps last evening. He
went into his barn ON Desplaines avenue
to feed his cow, when three men who had
been concealed in the building sprang upon
him. One of them struck him on the head
with a coupling pin, almost Draining him.
The other men ripped open his pockets
and took everything of value. Members
of BrazilIs family say he was known to
carry large sums of money with him, hay
ing no faith in banks. They think the
murderers secured $500 or 5000 in cash
and promissory notes to q large amount
representing money loaned to people in
Desplaines.
William Ravens passed the barn few
minutes after 8 o'clock and saw three men
run from the barn towards the railroad
and jump on freight train moving north.
His attention was attracted by groans
from the barn, and on entering he found
BRAZIL lying on the floor. His head was
pounded almost to a pulp, and dozen
knife wounds were found in his body.
nufu I1afeus euttreu DraZlu SrOaneQ ana
said: "1'm murdered" and turned on his
side. He died the next moment.
A number of detectives were sent out
from the central station in this city, and
the police of all neighboring towns were
instructed to look out for suspicious char
acters. The three murderers have been
lettering about the village several days, un-
doubtedly awaiting an opportunity to way
lay BRAZIL. Several men found on outgo-
ing freight trains were arrested at different
points and the police are confident of Sc
curing the murderers.

MANY CONVERTS.

Increased Interest Manifested nj
Trinity NJ. Il. Church Last Night.
The very unpleasant weather of yesterday
afternoon and evening did not prevent a
full attendance at the meeting led by the
evangelist Rev. Mr.. Harrison at Trinity NJ.
E. church. The strong personality of the
leader and his firm faith in greater bless
ings to come inspired his hearers with q
feeling of expectancy and attention. After
a short service of song and prayer the
evangelist spoke from /. Samuel, xxi, .:
"And the kings business requireth haste. !"
He dwelt on the danger of delay. 'There
is no provision in the whole Bible for pro-
crastination." In vivid language Mr.. Har-
rison pictured to his hearers the personal
duty of immediate acceptance of Christ,
illustrating his discourse with incidents of
his work in other places.
At the close of the service people rose all
over the house asking for prayers, and
when the invitation to come forward was
given they came in such numbers that the
front of the church was crowded.
1t was most affecting sight. A hus-
band whose wife had been praying for him
for twelve years arose and professed
Christ.
More professed Christ than at any pre-
vious meeting and the interest felt is
spreading and deepening.

UNIVERSALIST CONGRRSS.

SoNNnhSbs
An Interesting Paper on ssThc Christ
and the CreatfO n,,-Manss Craving
for a Higher Type of Humanity.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. 23.-At this
mornings session of the Universalist
church congress Hon. NJ. R. Wallace of
Chicago read the closing portion of his
paper on Compulsory Education" The
discussion of the relation of the Catholic
church to the public schools was con-
tinued. Rev. DR.. A. A. Miner of Boston
detailed the work of the committee of 100
in electing school commissioners opposed
to any support given the parochial schools
by the state, and said that in his judgment
q large portion of the Catholic laity voted
in favor of the commissioners approved by
the committee. Others taking part in the
discussion were President Atwood, Rev.
DIR. Fiske of Watertown, Rev. L. @. Brown
Of New York, and Rev. J. F. SCHNEIDER of
Wisconsin. "The Christ and the Crea-
ton" was the subject of paper read by
Rev. J. Coleman Adams, D. D., of
Brooklyn. He said from the beginning
of the creation of''the world everything
pointed to the coming of man erect and
Intelligent. At the beginning the end was
in view and the end had use in the be-
ginning. Man Graves for higher type of
humanity. To the coming of the Messiah
man looked forward and Christ fulfilled
the expectation of the human race. 1t is
not too much to look for more perfect
man than these now existing who kill one
another in carnage on the fields of battle,
who drink poisonous liquors and live in
sensuality, who put away for themselves
large store of goods, while their neighbors
may be starving The age of holiness will
follow the law of development. A more
spiritual type of man will arise and this
will mark new epoch in human history
1t is the soul of Jesus Of Nazareth which
is the influx of the new type of man. The
last paper of the morning session on thu
Red Cross was by Mrs. Louise Thomas o.
New York city and was an interesting re
view of the history and valuable work Of
the Red Gross society .

A BANKER COMMITS SUICIDE.

"A bal n Elk CONN HTS SUICIDE.
L Blakeley Creighton of New York
Found Dead-He Leaves n Letter OF
Explanation.
New YORK, Oct. 23.-1. Blakeley Creigh-
ton, a banker of u Broadway, was found
dead in his Office this morning, having
shot himself some time during the night
with revolver.
Mr.. Creighton, who was thirty-two years
old, was son Of the late Commodore
Creighton of the United States navy. He
was member of the New York stock ex-
change, and for three yearse previous to
last November he was associated with II.
P. Wright at 70 Broadway, and did gen.
eral banking and brokerage business. He
afterward associated himself with II. H
Brigham, at the same number and in the
same business. He was we'll known on
Wall street tor the past dozen years, and it
was believed that he was successful in bust
ness. The opinion prevailed that he was
well backed financially. As a gentleman
he stood high in the estimation of his
friends.
On the Office table lay several sealed let
ters addressed to his wife, Mrs. Sarah
Creighton, and his partner, H. H. Brig
ham. Another open letter was addressed
to ''All whom it may concern" and read
as follows: 81 have fought hard bust
ness battle, have made square fight, but
have lost. My brain has given way, and
now my body must go. Please break the
news gently to my wife" One letter to
Mrs. Creighton was in bulky envelope
and evidently contained money and some
jewelry.
George Crosby, Mr. Creighton's cashier,
was completely overcome on learning what
had occurred. He said: 81 left the office
at 4:30 o'clock, yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Creighton was talking with gentleman
whose name do not know. He was laugh
ing and joking and seemed very happy In
fact, he had been very cheerful all day. l
have never seen any thing in his conduct
to indicate that he was low spirited So
far as I know, his accounts were all right.
He has had no financial difficulties that
