A DUTY ON CRANBERRIEs.
The Cape Cod Growers Protected by
the Dingley Tariff Bill.

Sandwich, April 18.-The Cape Cod
Cranberry Growers association has
been much concerned because it was
supposed that, from the reading of the
tariff bill as passed by the house no
duty had been placed on cranberries.
The growers claim that cranberries
can be grown and packed in Canada
more chaaply than in the United States.
Canada imposes a tax of % per cent on
all berries imported from the United
States.
The executive committee. of the Cape
Cod Cranberry Growers association
held a meeting in Boston and resolu-
lions were adopted and forwarded to
each of the senators and representa-
tiVes in congress asking them to use
their influence to obtain a duty equiva-
lent to that imposed by Canada.

New York, Dec. l0.-A meeting Of
manufacturers OF wire and wire nails
held yesterday at the Waldorf Astor la,
this city, may have important re-
suits. IL was held in futherance of a plan
to consolidate the interests in the lines
named throughout the country, that is.
so it is said. to form trust.
j. p Morgan 4 Go. are said to be be-
hind the movement, and according to cur

Henry w. Oliver, who has heen mentioned
as likely to become president OF the trust,
was seen last night. lie said il was of course
quite out OF the question for him to make
public what transDired Mt the meeting,
but he did not DENY that such meeting
had been held. He admitted that the
meeting had got through its work and
that there woulu he no more sessions for
a time at least. He declined to saw when
all the negotiations would probably be
completed, and the new corporation for
mally launched.
The general supposition in the trads ap-
pears TO be that the usual arrangements
for forming trust Will be agreed upon,
n new corporation being formed, waieh
will either give its own stock in payment
for the stock Of existing companies, ,r else
buy outright for cash. Something more
than q mere pool is. at any rate, doubt
less in contemplation.

NEW TRIAL GRAN FED.
Petition of Edward II. Darcy Granted
by Appellate Court.

pJ hPpCftatS Souhe
In the case OF Margaret West OF al, nd
ministrator, vs. Edward III. Darcy, the
Appllate Court has granted the defend
ants petition for new trial. The chief
point involved in tho case was whether,
when there was claim in set of it was
necessary to tle an affidavit of defence.
The presiding justice In the common
pleas division directed verdict for the
plaintiif because the defendant did not tile
such Oh affidavit Hi tifts-the uUpsffarg
court Is OF the opinion that the court
Fellow erred.
The language of the court In this
regard Is as follows: "We think that the
affidavit of defence referred TO In SEQ. IA
of Gen. Laws R. |. cap. 239. relates only
to the claim OF the plaintiff on which the
suit is based, and that IL IL Is not made
the only effect Is TO preclude the defend
ant from making defence To the clair
The failure TO file the affidavit IL "a con-
elusive admission, for the purposes Of the
suit of the validity of the plaintiff =
claim. But the defendant is, never the.
less, entitled TO have his claim in set OF
adjusted in that suit and, IL he prevails,
to nave II deducted from the plaintiffs
claim, or, II 10 exceeds the plaintiff 8
claim, to n Judgment Tor tho excess.
The suit was 10 recover on u promissory
note and counsel for the defendant
argued that an exact copy Of the note
sued upon must be field with the decIara
tioD but the Appellate Court holds &c u
be sufficient II the copy is substantial
one and would not mislead the defendant.
