81, sc at q sitting. Mr. Erwin asked
him Nv much Harry had won In the
past gear, but further evidence In this
direction was shnt Off by objections.
The principal object of Garritys testi-
monv-was to show that Harry returned
from Chicago November 8. as Adry had
testified and that he brought back Miss
Giu9's money with him, after telegraph
ing her that II had all been lost.
The defense had many OF its wit
nesses in court this morning ready for
nse when the State should rest. Among
them was Harry Goodsel, the young
Chicago blood, by whom il is expected
TO prove that Harry Hayward did actu-
ally lose 10 Chicago the money given
him by Miss Cling for the gambling ex-
cuTsion. The Hayward family, whose
skeleton had been so publicly dragged
forth from It's closet yesterday, did not
appear in court, and their evidence will
not be called for until later in the trial.
II is believed, however, that Harry
Hayward himse4 will be one Of the
lirst witnesses put on by Mr.. IRWIN.
he opening address for the defense
is 20 be made by John Day Smith, Mr.
Erwin having decided 10 reserve his
fireworks for the jury's benefit until
the close Of the trial.

length aud was loudly applauded.
1t IS now proposed to form a charter.
ed company to be known as the "Pure
OIL Como oany," with a capital stock OF
Il, l,Ocj.O OOC, TO furnish consumers oil
petroleum with product Of pure Penn
sylvania oil. 1t is stated that
the oil from other territor-
les than Pennsylvania and its
adjacent fields, is used TO adulterate the
hign grade petroleum. The new COM
pany will try TO prevent this and also to
procure for the producer the market
price for his oil. The action OF the
STANDARD in fixing an arbitrary price for
oil, regardless of the price on,exchange,
had aroused vigorous protests from the
producers and the Pure OIL Company
hopes eventually to change the order Of
things.
The capital stock OF the company is
10 be divided into 100, 900 shares OF $40
each, and the subscription books are
open u erybody. The official state
ment Is that to put the company into
immediate operation about thirty inde.

The company their means OF dlstribu-
tion, including the present distributing

uung stations are 10 be established
wherever needed.
The capa city OF the refneries begin
ming operations with the company is
nearly 10, 600 barrels day.
A profit OF one-quarter OF q cent

pany.

Vile on Thursday, February 2l, to or
ganjze the company and elect officers.
The following resolution was unan'
imously adopted:

 Once, to commemorate the duke's birth day, she gavo ball at his country house and invited his London tradesmen to como to it, sending them 9 guineas apiece tc pay carriage hire.

 Tho next day an itinerant Methociat was to preach charity sermon in tho same barn. She was asked to attend and consented. Her servants, on receiving or. ders to be present, excused themselves on the ground of not understanding English.

 "When the ship Falcon left New York on her trip northwards it had among the stores several cases of Paine's celery com pound.

THERE WERE ELEVEN

INDUCEMENTS IN THE LAST BATCH FROM
 THE GRAND JURY.
 NEW YORK, March 22.-The extraordi- nary grand jury of the oyer and terminer court came into the court room at 1:15 p. m. and handed to Judge Ingraham bunch of indictments, numbering, it is said, eleven.
 Nothing as to the nature of the indict- ments can be ascertained at this juncture. There is a rumor that one of the indict- ments is against Inspector Williams, but this is based upon the fsct that witnesses presumed to have evidence against him have been before the grand jury during tho past week. It is understood that the same method of procedure adopted in the former indictments will be again permitted with the present ope-that is that no ar- rests will be made of those indicted, that they will simply be informed of the indict- ments against them and they will then surrender thems selves in court. This will probably be done Monday morning, to which time the court of oyer and terminer has adjourned.
 The grand jury informed the judge that they had not yet finished their work and asked to be allowed to retire, which request the judge granted. At 1:30 p. ID. the grand jury adjourned until tomorrow.
