#preckIes and the Sugar Trust to Sweeten

NEW YORK, April 3-The announce
ment from San Francisco that an agree
ment had been reached between the
Spreckelses and the Havemeyers, which
would end the fight of Claus Spreckels
against the companies which formed the
recent sugar trust was the cause OF
much talk and speculation in this city.
According to the dispatch, II. 0. Haven
meyer had been in San Francisco and
had secured the promise from Adolph
and Claus Spreckles to abandon their
immense refneries recently built in
Philadelphia, and to confine their opera
tions to the territory west of the r icky
Mountains, and to leave the Eastern
territory to the Havenmeyers and their
associates in the American Sugar Refin-
ing company. The report was denied,
however.
Il have not been in San Francisco at

The State Normal and Industrial
School.

The trustees of this institution after
carefully examining all the property pre-
sented to them, met Yesterday and pur-
chased the Henry p. Turner property
consisting of one hundred and eighty-two
acres. This property is situated four
miles from the city on the Meridianville
pike, and at point where the Memphis
s. Charleston and the Flora railroads ap-
proach each other, the one passing
through the farm and the other crossing
the pike within fifty yards of it. The M.
& G. already has switch there and
trains stop there, but handsome depot
will soon be erected and other conven-
fences added. Gen. Thomas has con-
sented to at once erect nice passenger
station at the point where the Huntsville
& Flora crosses the pike, thus making
this place unsurpassed as to accessibility.
The place itself seems to have been ar
ranged by nature for the location of a
great educational institution. The build
ing sites are fully one thousand feet
above the sea level, descending in gradu-
al, beautiful slopes to the four points of
the compass. This elevation or knoll
contains about fifty acres covered with
cedars, large oaks, hickory and other
kinds of trees. There are already good
two-story residence, two barns and sever
al other buildings upon the grounds; also
three springs, an orchard, small vine
yard. and splendid quarry on the west
ern side of the knoll. The top of this
knoll is perfectly level and commands a
view of the surrounding country that is
enchanting. About one hundred and
twenty acres are in splendid state of
cultivation, being divided into several
fields by cross fences.
The trustees are to be congratulated
upon their selection of so desirable To-
cation for our colored school.
Dormitories, halls, shops, etc., will be
erected at once. In the meantime the
agricultural and other operations requir-
ed by law will proceed as now conducted
only being considerably enlarged.
The price paid for this excellent prop
erty was 1856 per acre. The present val
liable property on Clinton street, owned
by the school, will be sold and the pro-
ceeds applied to the equipment and
adornmen of the new place.
Hon. A. S. Fletcher, Capt. J. D. Bran
don and Hon. S. j. Mayhem, the trustees.

they have managed this institution, and

he has, the gratitude of his race and the

negro race.
AS is well known this school was made
by our last Legislature, the beneficiary Of
the congressional donation, known as
the Morrill, Act. which largely increases
its annual income, making it capable of a
corresponding increase in usefulness.
The MERCURY extends congratulations
and wishes the institution great success.
