WAR ON THE TOBACCO TRUST.
Newark Cigarette Dealers Petition
for Its Dissolution.

Trenton. N, j., July 5.-In the suit of
John r. and Frank w. Miller, cigarette
dealers of Newark. N. J.. to have the
business of the American Tobacco Com
pany declared unlawful, on the ground
that it destroys competition in the sale of
paper cigarettes. Chancellor McGiIl to-
day filed an opinion, striking out of the
case a supplemental Information filed by
Attorney General Stockton, In which it
is alleged that the Tobacco Trust combina-
tion is injurious TO the growers OF the
plant in Virginia and North Carolina The
chancellor holds that the supplemental
information woes further than was ex-
pected when permission TO file II was
granted. 1t was not contemplated, he
said, that the combination against the to-
bacco growers would be set up further
than as to its effect upon the cigarette
dealers and the public of New Jersey.
The court of chancery OF New Jersey
could not be invoked to afford relief to
those beyond its jurisdiction. The effect
of this opinion is to leave the fight OF
Messrs. Miller against the Tobacco trust
where II stood when the original bill was
filed to have the trust dissolved as a cor
poration formed in violation of public
policy to monopolize the cigarette trade.

well known republicans and popullsts,
turned out tonight at the chamber Of
commerce to select delegates to the Grimm
silver convention, which is billed to bo

spieious modification TO those who COM
posed it, 1t was well advertised and a rous-
ing turnout was expected by the leaders OF
the mythical free silver hosts in Georgia,
but 1t was only Heterogeneous handful
that gathered to do their homage.
Editor Clark Howell. leaning up against
an iron column, called the meeting TO or
der in a familiar. conversational tone. as
If It had been a whist party. He concluded
by inviting Maj. John c. whitner, one of
the pioneer citizens Of the town to take
the chair
Maj. Whitner, although he said he had
never presided over public meetings except
Sunday schools. accepted the invitation
and when Col Evan Howell moved the ap-
pointment Of a committee Of ten TO report
delegates TO the Griffin conven-
tion the major kindly invited the
colonel to suggest the names.
as he really did not know the gentlemen
present and could not therefore. make up
the committee.
The colonel not to be out done in kind
ness, promptly responded TO the majors re-
quest and with the assistance of Col. @.
n Bateman, well known locally. because
he bolted Atkinsons nomination last year,
and organized the Atlanta Hines Club. The
names of the committee on delegates were
supplied to the chairman, Col. Howell be-
ing al Its head.

Finally the committee of ten, who report
ed the delegates, was added TO the delega-
tion In order that Col. Howell and others
might be made delegates. Out of the thir-
ty-six delegates 1t is quite likely that less

was stopped. Mr.. Andrews. who declared
that he had been a republican In Ohio for

KILLED HIS FAMILY WITH GAS.
rHE MURDER PLANNED FOR
WEEKS BY THE PERPETRATOR.

ue Died with Them-Insanity the
only Explanation of the Act-The
Gas Pipes in His Home Connected
with the COmpany's Mains For the
Express Purpose of the sextupie
Tragedy.
chicago. July 5.-Frederick Hellman, a
mason contractor, SO years old, last night
,,pr5ered his wife and four children by
.snbvxiation and died with them. The
victims are: Ina Hellman. 81 years old;
Fritz Hellman, u years old; Ida He'll
man II years old; Williar Hellman, S
Years old; Hedwig Hellman. years old.
The place of the tragedy was at the
Hellman cottage. COL Cornelia street The
house is small. but It was their own and
The family was supposed to be living hap
pily That the murder was deliberately
manned by the father of the family during
the past few weeks seems beyond doubt.
Ever since Hellman built his house it
has been supplied with gas pipes, but
there has been no connection with the
gas main and there were no fixtures in
the house. Several weeks ago he
had his pipes connected and fixtures put
in the family bed room only. the entire
family sleeping in one small room. 1t
seems now certain that Hellman had the
gas put in for the express purpose of us
lng it in the murder of his family. The
gas was turned on after the family, ex-
cepting the husband, had gone to sleep,
and none regained consciousness.
The body Of Hellman showed evidence
Of a struggle. He first shut the door and
windows then turned on the gas and laid
down to die with his family.
There Is only one explanation, and that
is that Hellman was crazy. He is said to
have been fairly well provided with world
ly goods and to have had no family dis
s1nsons. He was naturally of a morose
disposition, but no one thought he would
commit suicide or murder. He left a note
for his brother in which he gives instruc-
tons regarding the disposition of his prop
erty. He says that he will not be living
when the note is received, but says in 1t
nothing of the premeditated death Of the
rest of the family.

WHISKY TRUSTS SALE.

chicago, July 5.-Judge Showalter to-

vides for the auctioning of Of the eigh-
teen best pieces Of whisky trust prop
erty. The sale will probably take place
on Monday. Aug. 5. 1t will be a mere
formaiity, as there are no other bidders
expected besides the reorganization COM
mittee, whose offer Of S9,S00,OO0 is made
the upset price by the terms OF the order.
Inc counsel for the reorganization COM
mittee say the decree is not appealable,
and that even if 1t were Messrs Green
nut ana Morris, not being parties of rec
ORD, cannot come in as appellants An
appeal would probably not stop the sale.
unless made under other circumstances
than the court seems disposed 10 grant
the defeated parties TO the cause.
Edwin Walker, who represents Mr..
Greenhut, said this morning that he
would attempt to get an appeal. He was
OF the opinion that even IL his client
would be found to have no right of APP
peal, Nelson Morris, as a large creditor
OF the company, could carry the case to
a higher tribunal.
At noon counsel for both sides met in
court. Mr.. Walker renewed his request
that Messrs. Greenhut and Lindsay be
made parties to the original case, and the
court set tomorrow afternoon for hear
ing arguments on the point, but as ne has
already decided against allowing them TO
be put in the record as defendants il is
not likely he will change his opinion.
Not only will Mr.. Greenhuts attorney 8
appeal from the decision shutting their
clients out from an appeal, but they will
appeal on several other points decided
against them by Judge Showalter. Moth
ing but supercedeas from the appellate
court can stop the transfer of the property
now. This is rarely granted, and then
only upon the most convincing evidence.
This does not appear 10 be a case demand
ing such a remedy. and in consequence,
the proceedings before the appellate court
next week are likely to prove of a per-
functory character only. The case is con-
sidered ended by the counsel for the re-
organization committee, and the sale will
be advertised in the newspapers to-mor-
row morning.

wALLER's PREDICAMENT.
Ambassadors Eustis Asked to Take
Hold OF the Matter.


Washington, July sit is understood
that the state department has requested
Ambassador Eustis to push the Waller
matter with the French government to a
final conclusion as speedily as possible.
The attention of the department has just
been called by p. H. Bray, the stepson of
ex-Consul Waller, to the fact that Waller
has been denied all medical attention by
the French prison authorities, and that
he is suffering from chills, and is in an al
together lamentable condition. AS soon as
the department was made aware of this
condition of affairs, a cablegram was at
once sent to Ambassador Eustis, to see
that Waller had proper attention, and that
his case was considered with proper speed.
Some of the personal friends of the ex-
consul are making up a purse, which will
be sent him, from which ii is hoped he will
be able to secure personal comforts while
in prison.
The department has also sent mes
sage to our consul at Antananarivo, the
capital OF Madagascar, asking him to look
after the family of the ex-consul. No
word has been received from his family
since last January, and it is uncertain as
10 when word can reach them, for the
city Is in a state of siege and all COM
munications have to pass the inspection
Of the French military authorities. The
nearest United States official on the ISL
and of Madagascar is the consul at Tama-
tave, which is 200 miles distant.

The Tampa Tribune Sails Into the
Author of the Fever Fake.
Tampa, Fla, July 5-In reference to the
report spread by young Scrutchins in At
lanta that there was yellow fever in
Tampa, and that people were leaving, the
Tampa Tribune will say editorially to-
morrow. 1.-The English language is too
barren to adequately express the loathing
contempt the people of this city have for
those who persist in circulating false re-
ports concerning yellow fever in Tampa or
near this section. Such liars are too low
In the. human scale to deserve the recog-
milton in any form of decent people. They
are the scavengers of the human race,
who for some unknown purpose, are per-
mitted to walk the earth. There is not a
case of fever at Tampa, Port Tampa, Port
Tampa City, Ybor City, West Tampa, or
any resort near or remote in this section,
nor has there ever been a suspicious case
of sickness. The health of Tampa is ex-
cellent. The temperature during the day
is not above the average, while the nights
are as near perfect as 1t is possible for
them to be. The sanitary condition of the
city is good and the people fear nothing
in the way of any contagious diseases"
Washington, July 5.-Surgeon General
Wyman this morning telegraphed DR.. Jo-
seph Y. Porter, health officers of the state
of Florida. to know what foundation, if
any, there was for the report that yellow
fever existed in Tampa. DR.. Porters re-
ply was not received until tonight. He
said that he had been at the quarantine
station at Port Tampa and neither at that
place nor Tampa proper had he found any
symptoms of the presence of the disease.
The story was started, he said, by dis
charged employe Of the passenger depart
ment of the Plant system.
