MEADOW CREEK MATTERS.
An ElfusiOm on the Wintry Winds That
Blow

MEADOW CREEK, Dec. "a, 1895.
Especial Correspondence. Ben Whit
mar left Tuesday for New York to
spend the winter with relatives there.
Tom East departed fol- Michigan
last week where he will remain until
next spring.
Dave Tompkins is still suffering from
the injury he received some time ago
when his horse threw hi m into a
barbed wire fence.
D. O. Spaulding has gone toBo re man
to spend Christmas.
TO the vigorous and industrious
zephyr that has infested the Madison
valley for the past three weeks, the fol-
lowing verses are tearfully and tender
ly dedicated:
Our valley is full of climate.
,Jes' as full as it can stick,
And we're getting such an overdose,
That it makes us kind O sick.
For the weather that's dealt out tC
uS,
With sech a generous hand,
Makes a Teller wish these Zephyrs
Blew DER some other land.
This vale is now a ''vale oil tears
And Our hearts are full OF woe,
For the winter days are with us,
And the breeze is on the blow.
As the breeze meanders onward.
Growing more and mOre immense
And gaily carries with 1t,
A mile or SO of fence.
Jes' then is when a Teller
Wishes for a land that's blest,
Whore the climate ceases trOublin.
And the atmosphere's at rest.

ANOTHER ANTITRUST FIGHT.

The legal fights against the trusts have
generally resulted in substantial victories
for the latter in spite Of the many stat-
utcs that have been enacted against
these great combinations in both the
Federal and State legislatures. The SUI
preme court has virtually decided that
unless manufacturing trusts interfere
with interstate trade the State Is the
place to regulate and handle them.
Acting upon this idea Attorney General
Hancock Of New York is abont 10 insti-

THE FIRE RECORD.
r,Azt9 IN AN ASSAY OFFICE

BLAZE IN AN ASSAY OFFICE.
New York, December 6.--There was a
great conmotion In the assay office in
Wall street today. The journal OF an
engine in the deposit melting room, where
81, 100 900 In gold bars was being arranged
for shipment, became overholted and he
oil ignited. The flames followed the OIL
train along the point Of the ma ,hnery
to the ceiling. Great volumes OF black
smoke quickly followed In ell the rooms
of tho building Outside on the Wall street
side came a great kicking at the door. 1t
was the policeman trying to get in. An
official opened the door about an Inch
and then slammed the door in the police
mans face. The policeman ran to fire
box and turned in an alarm, ana In a
few minutes two engines ratified up to
the corner. The firemeu, axes in hand,
made an onslaught on the iron doors, ut
they were refused admission. They In
sisted, and finally fifteen were allowed to
enter.
Mr.. Crosa chief clerk said the cnly
danger was that the fire might have eX-
tended to the assay room over tho depcs.t
melting room. The building was old and
the timbers very dry and consequently
highly lnaammable. The damage VIII not
amount to Over 500. Most Of it was done
TO the betting and woodwork
There is sum amounting to nearly
$50 100000 in the vaults in the assay Office

This proposed action by the law oaicer

a virtual failure in its attempted enforce

direction indicated and stop one trust or
monopoly, IL can stop dozen. or all .

for the purpose of raising prices, or mo-
nopolies should be- tolerated in any State
and il the proper legal preceden; is once
established these great combines must
eventually totter. Under these circum-
stances this action by the attorney gen
eral of New York is matter of general
Interest and signifcance everywhere
throughout the country-not because Of
the particular trust involved, at all, for
it is no better nor worse than others,
but by reason of the principle and State
power at stake.
