Mrs. Margaret Lane Has Sent 800 to Pay
for a Ste,en Watch.

for Stesen Watch.
John B. Gasaway, the Allegheny drug.
gist, who many years ago served a term in
the Ohio Penitentiary for crime he didn't
commit, received letter yesterday morning
from Mrs. Margaret Lane, the woman who
has confessed the crime for which he suf.
fered. The letter was slipped under the
door of his place, and he believes the woman
put it there herself In it Mrs. Lane said
that she saw by Cleveland paper that the
name of the lady who lost the watch is
Conger, and she sent 500 to that paper to
pay her. She will send $50 more soon, and
says her confessor will deal with Mr.. Gas
away.
Mr.. Gasaway telegraphed to Cleveland to
confirm the letter, and later received a re-

TRUST COLLAPSED.

TAe Great Harvester Combine, With q
Capital of $35, 900, 900 Is No More.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-The American
Harvester company combine, which was
organized a month ago with capital Of
$35, 900, 900, has been broken by the with
drawal of the Mccormick Harvester
company, the Deering company, the
Whitman-Barnes Manufacturing COM
pany and the firm of Wordner, Bushnell
& Glassner. The firms named, with
drew, it is said, because of their dissatis-
faction with the line of policy mapped
out by the majority of the directors in
the matter of raising prices on the farm
ers, and the consolidation of the interests
of the supply houses to the disadvantage
Of their customers. None OF the firms
interested in the combine will vet ao-
knowledge that it is dead, but they are
not over anxious to conceal the situation
which confronts them.
Proof of the Collapse
of the trust came from the lips of Cyrus
Fl. Mccormick, who was its president.
He said: 1.-The American Harvester
company states that after securing the
opinion of eminent counsel from differ
ent states it has been brought face to
face with grave legal obstacles to the
enterprise for which it was formed.
These are of such character that, after
the most careful consideration the con-
clusion has been reached that the whole
undertaking must be abandoned. In
doing SO it is but adopting the course
which counsel have united in advising.
Tho Sugar Trust Decision Did 1t.
The dissolution of the company, Mr..
McC Co11nick said, would have no effect
on the different companies which were
with them. The project was dropped
Mr.. Mccormick said, only after it had
been found that it was illegal. The
New York decision in the sugar trust
case and the decision in the gas trust
litigation had more to do with the aban
donment of the trust than anything else
