The competition among the different

remains are those of Lytle.
No evidence was presented at the in
quest this afternoon to show who he
was, Notwithstanding valise is at the
express office containing a. photo of the
suicide, and several documents seem
to point to the owner as Edgar Lytle.
The officers paid no attention to the ex-

Lytle was not mentioned during the
proceedings over the body The jury

Thirty y-fifth-street station, but two
companions who aided him snatched
the pocketbook while Mathusek was
struggling with his captOrs, jumped
from the car and escaped. The pocket
book contained $1,000 in checks. nearly
one half of which are made payable to
bearer, and $400 in cash.
Brosseau was on his way down town
for the purpose of depositing the money.
AT Thirty-ninth street the three robbers
crowded him against the door, and
Mathusek, putting his hand into his
victims inside vest pocket, pulled out
the wallet. AT the same time one of
the robbers held his arm across Bros
seau's throat and prevented him from
moving or making an outcry. The con-
ductor, realizing what was going on,
seized Mathusek and threw him on the
floor. One of the other two then
snatched the pocketbook from Mathu-
sek's hand, and both escaped.

900 600 per annum is to receive its fin

a giant combination of all the big mills
of the country for making paper for
newspapers will be formed. This year
this scheme was tried in another shape
and failed of one of it's purposes.
No one will be able to buy direct
from a trust mill after the agreement
is signed. One man will do all of the
selling for the men behind the scheme.
There will be no such thing as compe-
tition, at least that is what the trust
fondly hopes. The high chief sales
man selected is William B. Dillon, now
manager of sales for the Glenns' Falls
On. " Paper Company. He will have
headquarters in New York City. His
right hand man will be ]. c. Brockle

Paper Company, with a Chicago office,
who will represent the central office in
the West The mill owners will set the
price and Mr.. Dillon will sell
Paper is now two cents a pound. The
trust wants to make the earnings of the
mills just So 100000 a year more than
their plants earned operating in COM
petition. The price will be 21a cents a
pound This is so ton increase,
which means S5,000,00 increase in
earnings per annum. The trust counts
on buying out or driving out the mills

less than 800 tons a day.
The charter of the Manufacturers
Paper Company made to fit just such
a case, will be uutilized by the COM

Early this morning a fruit store be-
longing to Charles Perkins was discov-
cred to be on fire. The firemen found
Perkins inside the place with five
wounds in his head and in an uncon-
scious condition. The shop was totally
destroyed Perkins regained conscious
ness during the day, and says that two
men entered the shop while he was
asleep, and one of them shot him with
buckshot and then robbed him No
shot was heard by the neighbors, and
the money had not been touched in the
drawer. The physicians have found no
bullets nor buckshot in Perkins head
The case is surrounded in mystery, and
many people believe that a roman
candle or one of the skyrockets, many
of which were in the shop, must have
gone off, hitting Perkins in the head
and setting the place on fire.
