LONG TRIAL ENDED.
A Paint Company Beaten by the Ma
tiOnal Lead Trust.

CINCINNATI, May 2S.-Judge Rufus B.
Smith to-day gave judgment in that
has occupied ten weeks in trial, and that
has been contested with such bitterness
that the Judge declared that the testimony
of one witness was not entitled TO belief
and that another had deliberately commit
ted perjury. 1t was battle really be-
tween the National Lead Company, known
as the Lead Trust, and one of the few in
dependent companies not included in the
National company. The suit was brought
in August, 1891 by the Walker Paint Com
pany against the Anchor White Lead Com
pany and the Eckstein White Lead Conn
pany for an injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from issuing circulars containing
analysis OF the plaintiffs product, showing
that it was adulterated with barytes. Fifty
thousand dollars damages was also claimed.
The defendant company, being now in the
National Lead Company. 1t was the real de-
fendant The defense was that the state
ment of the analysis of the plaintiffs prod
uct in 1889 and 1890 was true. The court, in
an elaborate opinion, found that the claim
of the defense was fully established and
dismissed the case, dissolving the prelmi-
nary Injunction.

TROUBLE FEARED AT LYFORD
Illinois Central Trains Guarded
by Companies of Militia.
Serious Trouble at WenOna, Where
Trains Are In Possession Of Strikers
Conference at Springfield.

The mining troubles in Parke county
eliminated in the issuance Of a temporary
injunction in the federal court in this city,
yesterday morning. at II O'Clock, restrain
ing the strikers from interfering with the
property o. the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Railway Company.
For several days rumors have been thick
to the effect that the company would appeal
TO Governor Matthews for protection, but
such action was not taken, the court being
thought to afford a reader means of relief
The application for the injunction was kept
exceedingly quiet and everybody cognizant
of the action was asked to keep 1t dark
until deputy marshal could get TO the
scene and serve the writ.
w. H. Lyford, general solicitor of the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois Railway Company
slipped quietly into the city yesterday morn
ing and went to Judge Eliotts Office and
from there, accompanied by the latter at
torney. to Judge Bakers room in the fed
eral building. 1t did not take long to lay
before the Judge the facts in the COM
plant Of the railroad company against the
strikers. The application for an injunction
was based on the allegation that the strik-
ers in the western part of Indiana had side
tracked a train belonging to the Chicago &
threatened TO shoot certain officers of the
corporation, all to the detriment of the in
terstate-commerce act, and to the damage
of the railroad company.
Judge Baker issued temporary restrain
ing order, which is TO remain in effect until
Thursday, June Z, when it VIII be argued
before him at 8 O'clock In the morning.
Mr.. Lyford departed at once for the scene
of action and United States Marshal Hawk
ins sent a deputy there TO serve the writ
of injunction.
The action which prompted the injunction
proceeding was the stopping of a train OF
thirty cars of coal at Lyford, Parke
county, Saturday, by the striking miners,
who refused to let it proceed to Chicago
The miners captured several Terre Haute
policemen sent out TO help the company's s
officers move the train. took away their
revolvsrs and made them walk back to
Terre Haute.

Spec1al 10 the Indianapolis journal
CLINTON, Ind., May 2s.-Everythlng is
quiet here tonight but the next few hours
is expected to determine the course of the
coal miners strike at Lyford. The miners
are behaving admirably. They are orderly
and sober and very strict in enforcing
sobriety. They are guarding railroad prop
erty with much care though they
had been deputized to do so, but they are
determined that no coal from the Kentucky
and other Southern mines shall enter the
market to weaken the strike They are be-
ing fed by Parke county farmers, who are
in sympathy with them This entire com
munity seems TO be unit in supporting the
men, but the report in to-days papers that
the officials had decided to ask the United
States courts to interfere and move the
captured coal train has put a very serious
and menacing phase on the situation. There
are many Italians here who are with the
native and other foreign miners, and should
any attempts be made to haul the out,
there will be a battle. The leaders received
kilograms from both President and Secre-
tary Mcbride to release the coal and al
low the road 10 haul coal through. The
men now holding a mass meeting at
the mines to vote whether to allow the coal
TO go through. There Is a strong sentiment
against IL. Unless there be a speedy settle
ment of the question serious trouble can
not be avoided at Lyford.
