 WITNESSES OF THE SUGAR TRUST CON-
 MITrEE.
 WAsHINGToN, Jan. 12.-1he decision Of Judge Cole of criminal court No. 2 with regard to the demurrers toathe indictments against Messrs. Havemeyer, Seares, Shrlver, Edwards and Seymour, the con tumscious witnesses before the senate sugar trust committee, which was an nounced for today, has been postponed until Saturday next. Judge Cole over ruled demurrers filed to the indictments against Stock Brokers Mccartney aud Chapman, he other contumaciou5 wit nesses, and the court of appeals for the District of Columbia has sustained him in holding that the indictments are good.
 It is said that within week or two the attorneys for Messrs. Mccartney aud Chap m ,n will make application to the court of appeals to take the case to the supreme court oi the United States for final decis ion. Meanwhile the district attorney is making preparations for bringing the de- fendauts to trial some time next month, and he will probably carry out this iDten ton until the case shall go to the federal supreme court and the court of appeals shall decide that this will act as a stay to further prosecution.
 No one actively connected with the prosecution expresses any very strong opinion as to the probability of martyrdom being inflicted upon any of the recalcitrant t witnesses.

Borden was the agent for the charterer, a Mir. Montell, and was looking after the business of the expedition, hay. ing chartered the vessel from her owner, Rev. MT. Moore, and purchased coal and other supplies. A few days ago number of boxes and cases arrived by rail for MT. Borden, and were loaded on the yacht. Today one of the same cases was found floating in the river, and on being opened was found to contain cullasses, knapsacks and canteens. It is supposed that all were thrown overheard, and the most of them sunk.
 The yacht is being detained by the cus- toms authorities, and the next develop meuts will be when the steamer Baracos arrives from Boston.
 The Morning News correspondent is re- liaoly informed that the latter vessel, Norwegian of 500 tons, is due tomorrow, and is under charter to the same people. The expedition is supposed to be under the direction of Maru, the Cuban patriot, and peculiar significance is attached to the fact of the Spanish consul being the agent Of the vessels. He claims to be acting only as a ship broker and ship agent, which IS 9 part of his regular business, and deniefs that the expedition is other than pleas- ure trip. 1t is generally believed that only the principals know of the object of the.ex- petition.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY.
This Time an Electric Power House for Manufacturing and Iilumi-
 hating Purposes.

A deal is on foot, and it is said has about been consummated, by which Birmlng- ham will in the near future be provided with new electric power station, electric dynamos and other apparatus necessary for generating electricity for an electric light system.
 Plans for a power station to cost ap- proximately $2O0, GOO have been submitted and estimates for constructing the same asked for. Contractors have been figuring on the plans, estimates, etc., for several days, and 1t IS not at all improbable that some definite news regarding the matter will be given out one day this week.
 An AGE HERALD reporter sought an in- terview with one of tbe gentlemen inter- ested in the scheme yesterday afternoon, by whom he was told that the preliminary steps had been taken and it was only question of few days, he thought, until the matter would be definitely settled. He declined to make any statement for publi- cation, as he feared 1t would have an un- favorable effect on the pending deal, but from his conversation it vas evident the contract for constructing the plant would be let within a short time.
 The new plant, as proposed, will be equipped with all th{ latest improved machinery, and Its caNacity will be sui ficient to accommodate the -naedH Of a city much larger than Birmingham.
