OF the date upon which the new tariff

question OF rebates on goods imported

About two years ago B. Shields, an en-.
ployee of A. M. Byers. her brother-in-
law, kidnapped her husband and took
him to Chicago. where he was placed in
the custody of DR.. L. W. Tallman. The
latter took Byers to Duluth, and then to
st. Paul, whore he was placed in hog
pital under the charge of Eva Dilty, @
trained nurse. Mrs. Byers located her
husband on August 2S. 1893. The party,
including Mrs. Byers, then returned to
Chicago. Here, she alleges, morphine
was surreptitiously administered to her
by DR.. Tillman, and while che was
unconscious her husband was again car
ried off. Byers was then taken from
place to place, generally outside the
United States, covering altogether about
10000 miles. Mrs. Byers spent thou-
sands of dollars searching for her hus-

She sent her agent, Samuel Boyd, for
her husband, and they returned to San
Francisco. Here they were met by Dr.
Tallman, who endesvorsd to regain pos.

1894, an agreement was signed by all in
terested parties TO the effect that Byers
should return to Pittsburg without any
interference, in the custody of Boyd. At

CHICAGO, Sept. 1Y.-Judge Gibbons to-
day sustained the demurrer to the
amended pleas OF the whisky trust to the
information in quo wsrrsnto filed by
Attorney General Maloney, and directed
that the attorney general prepare q
judgment OF custer against the trust.
The decision is on formal matters left
unsettled by the main decision three
months ago. The defendants took an
appeal.
If Judge Gibbons decision is sus-
tanned it will end the corporate existence
OF the defendant. The attorney. general
will prepare the judgment of custer ss
directed by the couat. This will be en-
tered. but the defendants appeal will
operate to suspend it, and nothing def
mite will result until the supreme court
passes on the same. The proceedings
today end the case in the lower courts.
Judge Gibbons, in making the final
order, said
''The legal effect Of the pleas is TO ad-
NIT the ownership and control Of 81 or
more distilleries by the respondent,
which up to the time OF their acquisition
or absorption by them, were owned
and controlled by separate and distinct
corporations.
"It is not the wealth represented by
the capital stocks OF a corporation, nor
the value OF its property which brings it
within the ban of outlawry, but it is the
effect upon the public, growing out of a
combination ofcorporations or interests,
the inevitable result OF which
whether 90 intended or not, is to govern
the supply and regulate the price of dis
titled spirits. In its oenfederated form
it possesses power and influence which
no single corporation could yield. Its
ramifcations extend into and their
power is felt in every city in the union.
Corporations may flourish and expand,
but competition and individualism muat
neither be thwarted nor crushed"
Assistant Attorney General Schofield
said: ''If today's decision is sustained
the property of the whisky trust will, OF
course, go frat to the creditors. then to
the owners, but when receiver will be
appointed, il the decision ia sustained,
or some other means OF distributing
the property be adopted, cannot say"

Rain From . Cloudless sky.

1t appears that rain can fall from cloud
less sky. This is true of thin drizzle
which falls in France, known as ''serein. /"
AS the atmosphere looks quite clear when
it falls, the probability is ell in favor OF
the moisture having been brought by the
wind at great elevation. In the island
of Mauritius the phenomenon is by no
means uncommon during the prevalence OF
southeast winds, slight showers falling in
cloudless evenings when the stars are shin
ing brightly. There the rain is thought to
be due to invisible vapor in the upper
reaches of the atmosphere, being condensed
at once and falling in drops without pass
ing through the intermediate stage OF
cloud. Ross said that in the south Allan
tic it rained on one occasion for upward OF
an hour while the sky was altogether free
from clouds. Says Genoese naturalist.
1.-THE night was clear. the stars wers shin
ing with their accustomed bril!iancy, when
shower of rain, consisting of large luke
warm drops, fell during six minutes upon
the town. A similar view was once OBJ
served at Constantine, in Algeria, about
noon, the sky being all the time splendid
blue Some believe that these showers are
the result of particles Of ice formed in the
higher regions melting and falling, while
others attribute them to currents of warm
and cold air travelling in opposite direc-
tions, with the result that the latter con-
denses some of the moisture in the former
and causes it to fall. Brooklyn Eagle.

How the Sea Is Sounded.

A ship regularly engaged in deep sea
sounding usually has the sounding ma
chine mounted at the after end, and when
about to sound is brought to standstill
with the stern to the sea. The stray line,
with thesounding rod and sinker attached,
is passed over the guide pulley and careful
ly lowered to the waters edge, the register
is set to zero, and the deep sea thermometer
is clamped to the sounding line. A sea-
man is stationed at the friction line which
controls the velocity with which the wire
is unreeled, another at the brake and a
third on the grating outside to handle the
sinker and instruments and to guide the
wire as it passes overheard A machinist
is at the hoisting engine, and the recorder
takes position for reading the register.
When the sinker is let go, the vessel is ma
neuvered so as to keep the wire vertical,
and the friction line is adjusted so as to
allow it to descend from 70 to 100 fathoms
per minute. The instant the sinker strikes
the bottom, which is Enthusiastically indi
Gated by the sudden release Of the wire
from strain, the reel is stopped by the fric-
ton line and brake. The recorder notes
the number of turns of the reel. In an
hour this messenger of mans ingenuity
makes it's excursion through five miles of
watery waste to the abysmal regions of
perfect repose.-Popular Science Monthly.
