An IMPORTANT CASE.
A Fine Legal Point IN tho Matter Of tho
American Preserycrs Trust.

PITTsDuRGu, Pa, Sept. 1l.-A. Leo
We'll, General Solicitor OF tho American
Preservers Trust, says 1t is not true us
stated in tho press report from St. Louis
that the court declined TO enforce n con.
tract because 1t waa mado by trust, but

lean Preservers Company against the
Taylor Manufacturing Company all the
questions involved in tho controversy
were reserved for final hearing, and the
preliminary injunction was refused be.
cause OF the want OF sufficient proof at
this stage Of tho proceedings to show
that when the individual directors sign.
ed the agreement OF cooperation they
meant thereby to bind the company us
well as themselves. Continuing, Mr..
We'll said:
"rhis case seems 10 be attracting con.
siderable attention, due, suppose, to
tho fact that 1t Is the first time a modern
industrial trust has sought the aid OF
the court to enforce any OF its contracts.
Pr0Gting by the decision In the Sugar
trust cases., the American Preservers
Trust procured the consolidation OF all
its companies into one corporation, the
American Preservers' Company. 1t is,
therefore, no longer. susceptible to the
criticism that it Is n partnership OF
corporations, the only ground upon
which the New York court OF Appeals
affirmed the sugar trust case. II is our

Preservers company is nota monopoly,

Democratic nominee for the State Son.
atc, D. W. Gall, appeared and was given
half an hour TO say his little piece. Ills

was the universal verdict that he Ger.

his limited stock OF information.
But the real fun commenced when
they began to select the county candi.

on the Circuit Court Clerkship aud
Alexander Il. Brown, rs matter OF

nominations were Louis Bennett for

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. ll.-Speak-

sary TO have a quorum Of Republicans
present in the House. When the House
met this morning Mr.. Reed was in the
chair and received cheering welcome
from his colleagues. 4 vote was taken
Immediately on the motion for the
previous question on the approval OF
the Journal. No quorum was present
and the Democrats wero prepared to re-
new their fibusteriu2, but Mr.. Mckin-
Icy, who had been consulting with the
Speaker, moved an adjournment and
the House adjourned promptly. The
purpose OF the Republicans in adopting
this course is to impress upon the alb.
sentees the importance OF their immedi.
atU return. The Speaker saw the neCcs-
sity OF havinga quorum OF Republicans

The opposition to Langston coming
through Mnhone is working to induce
the Republicans to abandon the cage,
but the leaders are not going to do this
and put themselves in the attitude OF
defeat. 1t is expected that by Monday
the Republicans will have quorum,

The crowd at the State Fair yesterday
when largest, had the appearance tt
regular lrequenters OF the annual fairs
OF being as large as any on record on thu
fourth day, but the managers say it wa.
not quite up to the record, though en-
tirely satisfactory.
The grand stand was as densely packed
during the races rs It ever was-too
densely for comfort. The space in front
was also filled, while along the quarter
stretch and cleae around the course peo.
pie lined the fence from ten to twenty
deep. At the same time the halls and
the orchard were well filled with people
who did not care enough for the races
10 crowd in the throng and undergo the
discomfort OF the heat and the jo,tling.
There was always greater or less string
OF people taking in the stock show, and
altogether the patronage was quite as
large as the grounds will permit with
even fair degree OF comfort.
People kept coming until the middle
OF the afternoon, by which time others
were leaving to catch their trains. The
ferries to the Island raked in the nickles
by the bushel, and all the peanut and
other stands were patronized in q way
that made their owners smile.
Charley Goetze's soda water stand,
outside the Main building, is fixture,
and he was kept busy yesterday. So
