THEY SAY TIE TRUST HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH II.

II is denied that the voluntary dissolution OF tho
Empire City Electric Company, OF Nos 10 and II Dey-
ST. was due 10 the failure Of efforts TO establish trust
in that branch Of business. There has been for some
time evidence OF great depression in the trade due to
excessive competition. The Empire company was
started in the fall of 1886 and for time propered
1t has only since the financial troubles OF last year
that the condition OF affairs became threatening. Gen
eTal Madden said yesterday
"AppcatOn made for dissolution voluntarily
because there money In the business-ac least
we could not see any. The concern is solvent and VIII
pay It's debts. The creditors will get their money In
fan The statement that was engaged In WORKING up
trust scheme is not true. There was suggestion
made that few cOncerns-one In Boston, one in New
York one in baltimore and one In Phladelpha-Sil0nlu
come together under some arrangement whereby all
should be operated in conjunction having one pnrcha
ing agent ana otherwise reduce expenses without put
ting up prices at ALL There are many ways By which
we could money and secure living profit without
the creation OF trust which think would not in the
nature Of things be practicable But nothing came
OF the proposition. l know that such thing as
trust has ever been cOnteInpatcdD 80
Inquiries in other quarters indicated that, while there
WAS much depression I'm the business, no schemes TOT
general trust deemed practicable or were oven
being considered.
