SUGAR GIANTS AT WAR.


Claus spreckles and the Havemeyer Trust
Battle Valiantly.
New YORK, Aug. 5.-About ten days
ago the president of the sugar trust
was called away from the city by the
fatal illness of his father, f. C. Have
meyer While he was away the sugar
trust maintained its price for granu-
lated sugar, but Claus Spreckles, who
had been keeping his rates up to those
charged by the trust, at once announced
a reduction of one-sixteenth of a cent
per pound. He cut seriously into the
trade of the sugar trust but no
action TO meet the cut was taken,
as it was believed that as soon as
Spreckles' supply was placed he would
retire from the market He kept on
filing orders, however, and practically
supplied all demands
Monday President Havemeyer re-
turned, and at once ordered the sugar
trust price for granulated sugar reduced
oneseighth of a cent, or one-Sixteenth
below the cut made by Spreckles.
The latter yesterday then made an
other cut bringing his price one-six-
teenth of a cent below that asked by
the trust The reductions made brings
the price for granulated sugar down to
1 cents per pound in Philadelphia, on
which per cent. is allowed off, MAX
ing the net cash price 9. 90 cents, the
lowest on record. The price named By
the sugar trust is 1-16 cents In
August, 1889, after the formation of the
trust, sugar sold at 81 cents per pound.
A curious feature of the fight is that
in the raw sugar market both parties
are urgent buyers and the trust bought
raw sugar at slice This brings the
profit of refining down to a very low
point
In lower Wall street great interest is
shown as to whether the trust will meet
the last cut made by Spreckles.

THE Bottom of the Sea"

VIM. A. Brady's marine spectacle, which
is to be given tonight. is an adaptation by
the author, and the exigencies Of the plot
demand that considerable portion Of the
action shall occur on and in Neptune's
realm Originally produced at the Porte
St Martin some twenty years ago, the spec
tacle has in many different forms been pre-
sented in almost every country under the
sun. For years many attempts were made
by theatrical managers to produce the
spectacle in this country. but it has never
been accomplished. owing, perhaps, to tie
great expense attached to such a scenic en-
terprise. However Messrs. Webster &
Brady, who now have the spectacle in
charge, produced the piece in New York,
and we're we'll rewarded for the risk taken.
1t has since been p esented at the Globe
theater, Boston, and in BROOKLYN, Philadel-
phia, Providence, etc., aad from reports
that have reached here from these cities the
criticisms pronounce the spectacle work of
stagecraft aud ingenuity.

The preliminary trial of Bradford Dun.
ham, superintendent of the Alabama Mid
land railroad, charged with killing young
Cunningham, which has been in progress
since Wednesday Of last week, has ended by
the justice remanding the prisoner to Jail
without bail. At the close of the argument
Justice jackson sat up straight and looked
upon the audience, which had been thrilled
Tor more than two hours by the able
speeches of the lawyers. If stiffness pre-
vailed during the speeches. there was a
solemn hush within the walls of the building
when the court made its first utterance.
The general opinion was that the court
would not pass Immediately upon the CUES
ton; large number Of those present felt
that there would be an adjournment to this
afternoon, while many thought that the de-
cision would be made at q session of the
court tomorrow morning, and the decision
was almost uttered before the crowd gath
cred in the court room realized that 1t was
being delivered. As soon as the court closed
the announcement there was burst of ap-
plause. which was checked as soon as posi-
BILE by the commands Of ''Order in COURT
Mr.. Durham sat Immediately in front Of
the court, holding an unlighted cigar be-
tween his teeth. He had been in one of the
jury rooms conrersing with Col. TompKins
during portion OF the speech of Solicitor
Lomax, but before the close he took his
seat in the court room. If the decision
affected Mr.. Durham his face did not show
it. He was looking steadily at the judge,
and as the words of the decision was pro-
nounced his gaze was as steady as when the
court begun.
There was a rush of the crowd to get out
side Of the court house, but the friends of
Mr.. Durham, who had been 80 steedfast to
him throughout the entire trial, still re-
manned about him, giving him ali the cheer
and comfort they could, and quite number
accompanied MIN on his return to the Jail.
This afternoon a rumOr was current that
habeas corpus proceedings would be insti-
tuted. To ascertain if there was any truth in
the report reporter called on Gov. Watts,
who said: II am just from conference Of
Mr.. Dunham's attorneys, and there will be no
further proceedings This was my advice.
The state has the right to demand ten days
notice on habeas corpus proceedings, and
the whole testimony would have TO be
taken again, and, with the arguments,
would occupy another week. The grand
grand jury meets next Monday and, should
Mr.. Durham be indicted, we will go into
the trial Of his case as early as possible"
