BLOW AT TRUST COMPANIES.
Under Certain Circumstances They Have
No Recourse in Law.


A trust company has no recourse in
law If member OF the trust violates tho
agreement not to go into business again
is the substance of a decision by Judge
Thayer of the United States Court, ~.
Louis, Mo. The decision was rendered
In the case of the American Preservers
Company against the Taylor Manufact-
uring Company. For years prior TO ssS
the Taylor Company had been carrying
on its business in 81. Louis, but
the tempter came, and the Ameri-
AN Preservers' Trust bought out
business, for which it was TO
ly part cash and the balance i'm trust
certificates. The Taylor Company
agreed not to go into business again in
this country for twenty-five years, or
until the trust died. In 1890 the COM
pany did go into business again, and
when the American Preservers COMPANY
brought suit to enjoin it, it claimed The
agreement only bound the three stock
holders who had signed. As the trust
did not allege that the company was
bound by the action of those stockhod-
ers, it was compelled to file another pc
tition, and the Taylor Company then
replied, saying that even If the company
was bound by the agreement such con.>
tracts were unlawful in the state OF
Missouri. The demurrer 10 the bill was
sustained

The dynamite was to be used In the con-
struction OF "A third track on the New York

without warning. 1t shook the ground like
an earthquake and tore up everything

air was filed with flying debris and frag-

off were thrown To the ground by
the conclusion. Glass was broken I'm the
windows in houses two and three hundred
yards away. When the smoke cleared away
there was u sickeniny spectacle. Thirty
one men, principally Italians, lay upon the
ground. The car was nowhere TO be seen;
portions OF the trucks were thrown 100 feet
away. Not even the heavy iron wheels
remained on the track. Portions OF the
track and the roadbed were blown away,
and great hole was dug in the ground

A Mining Camp Ton the Rio Grande Gets
45O Sacks of Papers i'm Week.

1t is reported from Hum, small min

Southern Railroad, that during the last
week $50 sacks of mai! have arrived
there. The sacks contained newspa-
pers, and all those SO far examined were
New York TribuneS of March 9. They
were mailed i'm 2-cent wrappers, and all
were addressed to Charles ;. Newton,
superintendent of the Caribbean Mine.
The sending of SO much mail matter
looks like scheme to rob the Govern
ment. This is the period whenh ailroads
weigh mail matter, on which their pay
from the Government is based. The
average of several lines between New
York and Colorado has been fattened,
but the local railroad officials say they
would not profit much by the shipment.
Newton, the man whof received the A.
0C6 pounds of mail, has been summoned

Cornelius Vanderbilt Pays a Big Price
for Filth Avenue Property.

The purchase by Cornelius Vanderbilt of
the house and lot on Fifth avenue north OF
his residence is significant for number of
reasons. III the first place Mr.. Vanderbilt
has probably paid for the property much
larger sum OF money than has ever before
been paid for any Fifth avenue property of
similar character and dimensions. The eX-
act amount does not seem to be commonly
known, but it is learned on good authority
that II was over $3.50, 900. The market price
would probably be somewhere in the neigh
borhood OF $50, 900. Mr.. Vanderbilt intends
TO build the handsomest ballroom in New

Dislike the Now French Traiff.

There is strong feeling in British trade
circles likely TO be affected by the French
tariff in favor Of retaliatory duties on
French wines, etc. This would be a serious
matter for France, the United Kingdom be-
ing the best customer for that country's ex-
ports 1t is estimated that the new French
tariff will diminish British exports TO
France TO the amount of about 97,000,0OO
annually, and British manufacturers do
not know where to find n market for their
goods thus barred from French markets.

tests of the dynamite guns on the Vesuvius
have returned They say the tests demon
strated that the pneumatic guns of the We
suvius can only be relied upon for accuracy
when the range is known exactly, as was
the case in the first shot. That the guns
can be aimed by the rudder of the ship 50
as to have little lateral deviation was shown
by the fact that nearly every shot was
practically line shot.
