DECLARED A TRUs
The United States School Furniture Con
pany So Called 6y the Courts.


pamy So Called by the Courts.
CHICAGO, ILL, March 80 Judge Baker
rendered decision to-day declaring the
United States School Furniture Company
of Chicago to be trust and monopoly.
Attorney -General Olney filed information
against the company about year ago. He
set forth that it consisted of sixteen differ
ent corporations and firms regulating
prices and practically controlled the school
furniture output of the country.
The information declared the United
States Company had made contracts with
its dependent firms whereby they were to
sell their output to the Chicago corpora
ton, and manufacture only such goods as
the latter should direct. This the Attorney
General affirmed was an evasion of the
trust law. The company filed demurrer
claiming it merely acted as distributor for
other firms, and denying it made any at
tempt to regulate prices. Upon this de-
murrer Judge Bakers adverse decision was
rendered to-day

The captain is c. F. Trask, the first mate

BROUGHT ON BY PANIC.
Frightened Passengers Pre-
vented the Gripman From
Acting Promptly.
THEN THEY JUMPED FOR LIFE
Two Women Were Mortally and
Seven Other Persons Seri-
ousIy Injured.

EVANSVILLE, Pa, March 30.-Three
persons were instantly killed, two fatally
injured and seven others seriously hurt on
the Lehigh Company Traction road by
jumping from a runaway trolley-car on
the mountain near here.
The dead are: Mrs. Watkin Williams of
Hazleton, Mrs. John E. Farley of Beaver
Meadow and her eieht-year-old son.
Fatally injured: Mrs. James Evans of
COterain, Mrs. John Weir of Beaver
Meadow.
Seriously wounded: Watkin Williams,
husband Of the woman who was killed !;
Maggie Herrity of Beaver Meadow, three
children of Mrs. Evans, Hannah Somers
OF Beaver Meadow, Morris Hughes of
Wilkesbarre.
The accident was the worst in the history
OF the 'trolleyr Dads in this vicinity and was
due in part to panic among the passen-
gers, who crowded about the conductor
and gripman of the unmanageable car.
The disaster occurred on car 20. As it
passed on to the grade leading down the
mountain Gripman Reitz applied the
brakes, but the chain snapped. He then
threw the safety lever. This refused to
work and the terrified motorman sprang
to the reverse brake, hoping to control the
car by the current. The actions of the
man and the speed of the car had by this
time alarmed the passengers. Failing to
control the car he shouted to Conductor
Socks to apply the rear brake. His shouts
caused panic, and the passengers made a
rush for the platform. The car was going
down the mountain at mile minute.
The conductor shouted to the passengers
TO go back so that. he might apply the
brake, but was not needed.
Mr.. Jackman of HaZleton and two other
men endeavored to keep the women from
throwing themselves from the car on to
the rocks, but were unable to do So Mrs
Williams was the first to jump. Her body
struck post, breaking her back and caus-
ing instant death. She tried to save her
boy, but he shared the same fate.
The remaining passengers, with one ex-
ception, then jumped. Mrs. Evans was
the only person TO remain in the car with
the exception of the motorman and con-
ductor. The car kept the track until the
crossing at the foot of the incline was
reached. Here it jumped the track and
crashed into a telegraph pole. The front
of the car was stove in, and piece of
board penetrated Mrs. Evans side.
The screams of the frantic passengers as
the car rushed down the mountain could
be heard half mile. The residents of this
part fastened to the scene, and did all
they could TO relieve the suffering.
Had the passengers remained in the car
the accident could have been averted, as
the rear brake would have held the car and
prevented the runaway. There are six at
tachments on each car provided for such
an emergency, but the conductor was
wedged so tightly against the dasher by
the panic-stricken women that he was I'M
able to move his arms till the car had
gotten beyond Control. The motorman
and conductor were but slightly injured.

REFENUE RECEIPTS.
The Returns for March Biu Far BelosU
the Expenditures.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March Cocoon
trary to expectations of the officials of the
treasury the receipts for the month of
March will again fall below the expendi-
lures. The amount, however, is only about
1924, 900. The excess of the expenditures
for the nine months of the present fiscal
year is $36, 500 900, and this amount will
almost certainly be increased by So 0OO, 900
or more during April, which will leave
deficit of about $40, 900, 600 on May l. Dur
ing May and June, however, great things
are expected from the income tax, but the
most conservative estimates now place the
deficit for the fiscal year at $25 10000
The outlook for heavy receipts from the
two great sources of income, customs and
internal revenue, are not encouraging
particularly from the latter. During the
month of August, 1894, the internal reve-
nue. receipts, in anticipation of the in
creased rate oDduty, ran up $27, $50, 600, but
not since that time have they reached
more than third of that amount. In
September they scarcely exceeded 81 ,0OO,-
900 and since then they have slowly been
increased until the present moment, when
they amount to over $9,sO00O0. This,
doNSfCii 10 ldI pc4OW Vie expectations Oh
the officials.
The receipts from customs during the
past twelve months have shown an nm
even, but, on the whole, fair increase.
During July, 1894, they reached the low
figure of SIS, 427 900, but during August they
increased to nearly $4,000, 900 and during
September to about SIS, 664, $3.50. The three
succeeding months showed a falling off
from 100000 to over $5,000,000 In 1895,
however, they recovered to over ST., 900, 900
and then again there was a decline to
$13, SOC, 900, and then an increase during the
present month to nearly $15,000,00 Only
twice, however, since May, 1894, have the
receipts from all sources equaled the ex-
penditures.
In June, 1894, there was slight excess
and during August the excess reached
$9,000,00O. The receipts during that month
were about normal, owing, as stated, to
the increased tax on spirits. All things
considered, much depends upon the de-
cision of the Supreme Court on the ques-
ton of the validity of the income tax.
Should the law be upheld, as seems alto
gether probable, the treasury officials look
for fair sailing from this time on, but
should the law be declared unconstitu-
tionaI, an extra session of Congress may
be called to provide for revenues sufficient
to meet the needs of the Government.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 80. =
John a. Brown, aged 80, employed by
James A. Talcott of New York City, shot
his wife, aged "a years, yesterday and
then committed suicide. Mrs. Brown will

her father, where the young wife has been
living. Mrs. Brown was upstairs at the
time, and being informed that her husband
wished to see her started down the front
stairs. When about halfway down her
husband who was standing in the hall
way, suddenly drew revolver and COM
menced firing at her. The frightened

shot struck her in the back of the head as
she fed. Brown then coolly walked into
the parlor, placed the revolver behind his
right year and fired bullet into his brain,
dying almost instantly. The woman's in
iuries are pronounced not dangerous.
