New YORK, Mar. 25.--The execu-
tive committee of the Grant mOnu-
ment association held at u meeting
yesterday afternoon and passed a

THE SUGAR TRUST.
New YORK, March 25. The sugar
trust, In anticipation of heavy
loss on large amount of sugar held
by the concern on April 1st, is get
ting In some fine work to protect
itself, as outlined by a well.informed
sugar man. Ihe move seems 10 DC
nothing short of a plan to make the
government pay over to the trust
more than enough to cover the loss
In selling these goods at the April
decline. The law provides for a
drawback of 81 cents per pound on
export sugars, and the same draw
back is precisely what the trust is
now believed to be after. The popu-
lar opinion is that the sugar will be
sent abroad in order to secure the
drawback, and then be brought
back and sold at April prices.

MONUMENTAL BLUNDER
Wreckers Dismantle an UnOccu.
pied Cincinnati Dwelling.

Probably one Of the most notable cases of
mistaken identity any newspaper was ever
called upon to record recently occurred in
Cincinnati. DR.. Joseph Eichberg, says the
Commercial. owned little frame building
on Walnut Hills, fashionable locality of
the city, which he desired removed, to make
way for improvements more in keeping with
the surroundings. He made arrangements
with a contractor to visit the house with the
view of bidding on it, giving him directions
calculated to enable him to distinguish it
from the others. The man was gone for
some hours, and when he returned he
offered DR.. Elchberg SIS for the old material
and contents OF the house, to be removed as
eXpeditiously as possible. The bargain was
struck Oh Saturday, and the following Mon
day morning the contractor, with a couple
of men and supplied with ropes, ladders and
tools, went to the house he had previously
inspected and began the work of demolition.
The wreckers began at the roof, from which
they removed the tin covering and Chin

there was no time to lose, for 1.-THE light was
nearly gone and in the dark l would be an
easy victim) and with my knife managed TO
cut out the thin bottoms. Then replacing
the drawers, first squeezing myself and the
cut boards inside the big bureau, l crouched
there and waited in the now pitch dark
room.
1t seemed an age before heard the awful
sound that | was listening for OF the trap
being raised. From my position l could look
under the bed through a crack in my hiding
place and see dull glare of light shoot up
ward from the shaft. Then it dimmed a
bit as slowly and silently the shajowy out
line of head appeared out of the hole.
Then it darkeued completely and / could
hear the devil working his way ike a
snake out from under the bedstead straight
toward me- Then the form stood by the
bedside and listened.
The suspense of that moment was horri-
BILE and | feared the ticking of my watch in
the dreadful stiffness would discover me.
Then | knew the bed was being examined
and that l was missed, for the neiseless
figure moved over 10 the window, which |
luckily had left open. l heard a low whistle
from the trap and the dog growl and then
the shadow struck match and seemed to
be looking over the room. Then with all
oath he whistled twice aud another form
with bull s-eye lantern in his teeth craw led
from the hole under the bed and with his
companion began searching tile room. Had
lett splinter on the moor DY Ine bureau?
A cold sweat poured from NE at the thought.
| heard them whispering that | must have
escaped through the window and curse the
dog for letting me. Then they said some
thing about the bureau, and, coming to it,
opened the top drawer. But the noise they
made prevented MY breathing being heard.
Then they started 10 open the next drawer,
when wOman's voice came from the hail.
which stopped them. In answer to some
thing they said | heard the bolt withdrawn
and all three went out. leaving me, thus far,
untouched and the door open.
Not daring to move OF course, | waited
for what was coming next, and soon, by the
daylight shining through my DeekhOle, |
knew to my great JOY that dawn had at last
arrived.
For long hour kept in my hiding spot
hoping that | could rush downstairs and
from the outer door if it CHANGED TO be I'M
locked. After awhile some one went out of
il, and my time to escape or be killed in
doing so had come. Slowly, by degrees, |
pushed open the bottom drawer and crept
on the floor of the hall Everything was
still. Then ! sneaked slowly down, tried
the knob, and. hurrah, | was outside, down
the street and around the corner, aud didn't
stop flying till policeman had me by the
collar and in the stitiUn-hOuSe. There told
my story.
The next night the murderers' den was
surrounded, and all hands, including my
cabby, were captured, while under the eel
lar ground was graveyard of no less than
eight persons. l also had the pleasure of
seeing the hole which was prepared for me.

SISTER MARY MAGDALENE.

An Impressive Funeral Service at st.
Bridget's Church.
The funeral of Sister Mary Magdalene,
one of the much loved Sisters of Charity in
charge of ST. Bridget's Parochial School,
Tuesday and was an unusually sad and i'm
pressiye affair.
The church was draped in deep mourning;
black and white bands encircled the
columns, and black r0settes were suspended
from the altar with long white silk ribbons.
The casket was almost concealed from sight
by the profus0n of floral tributes. The
Sisters of the convent sent beautiful cross
of white roses, bearing the words "In
Peace" iulaid with pansles and the pupils
of the convent gave large pillow of white
roses entwined in smilax.
A large arch and cross in white resting
upon pillow of violets was given by Mrs.
U'Sullivan and innumerable smaller pieces
were sent by the departed Sisters hest of
mourning friends. Rev. Father John E.
Cottle, assisted by Rev. Father Breslin, Rev.
Martin Ryan and Rev. Father O'Neil of San
Rafael, celebrated the regular high mass.
No sermon was delivered. The remains

JUDGE WALLACE is WISER.

He Has Learned What the Word " Mash
Means.
Judge Wallace is wiser man to-day than
he was yesterday. Judge Wallace is
learned jurist and presiding Judge of the
Superior Court Of the great city of San
Francisco, yet he didn't know what "mash-
ing" meant. The way he came to be ell
Iightened was like this:
Sarah Jane Clarke-to begin at the begin
ning-is suing Charles Clarke for divorce
and almony. Clarke is the proprietor of
the bakeries and coffee saloons at 612
Kearny street and 517 Montgomery street,
which Mrs. Clarke AYERS are netting the
very neat sum OF $1,000 month. Now Mrs
Clarke charges her lord and master with
cruelty, ana alleges that he beat and abused
her in various ways

the learned counsel Of the fair witness.
Yes, of course. that's it," said Mrs.
Clarke, little annoyed that one should be
so dull.
1t will take day or so more to hear all
the evidence in this case. Meanwhile, how
ever, Judge Wallace has learned one new
word and the chances are about even that
he will yet add one or two more colloquial-
sms TO his vocabulary before the case is
disposed of.

A NIGHT OF TERROR.

was a young commercial traveller going
to London for the first time. On the steamer
the sensation had been the many myster-
ious disappearance that we're occurring in
that great city, the victims being strangers
like myself. From what was known they
were robbed and murdered in their sleep
by means of trap-door communications with
the cellar to the floor under their beds and
their bodies buried in the cellar.
Owing to my blunder in taking wrong
train it was long past midnight when
reached London station, and my resident
friend was, of course, not there to meet me.
The weather was drizzing and foggy, with
a nasty chill striking into me, and, fUrlOrn
and tired, | took the first cab that was OF
fered, telling the wicked-lO0klng driver to
take me to a hotel BY and by began to

feeling a little bit nervous about it the cab

already suspicious of the surroundings,

it had double bedstead in the far corner,

table and the high bureau, where the light,

dim and expiring candle-light / made out

There are voices sweet as these
II the Zephyrs and the ROBINS

Through the heavens clothed in lame
While the war-cries Of his cohorts
Proudly thunder IN ace aim!
When all nature seems al battle,

Sounds a requiem, grand and solemn
For the wrecked u holds in keep
When, the battles din subsiding,

And l fancy angels weeping
Ii the patter OF the rain
Does the echo Of the thunder
And the ucean-biIlows' moan,
Swell the anthem OF devotion

Breaks the Joyous peal of chimes,
And the people slug their praises
To the God OF al the elimes;
