THE COFFEE WAR.
The Circuit Court at Toledo Passes Upon
the Arbuclle Suit.

Toledo, Ohio, April S.-In the Ar
Woolson injunction suit, the
Circuit Court to-day overruled plain
tiff's motion for a new trial and grant
ed fifty days in which to file bill of
exceptions. The Common Pleas Court
some time since dissolved the injunc-
ton to restrain defendant from cutting
prices Of coffee.
The court reviewed the facts and
found that in all probability the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company, or Sugar
Trust, bought the stock of the Woolson
Company and did so for the purpose Of
retaliating against the Arbuckles for
attempting TO enter the sugar business.
The court finds that the company is be-
ing run in the interest of the Sugar
Trust, and not for the benefit of the
WOolson Company, that the declines in
coffee were made for the purpose Of
forcing losses on Arbuckle Bros. and
forcing them out Of the sugar business.
But the court held that the plaintiffs
are not prosecuting the case in good
faith for the interest of the Woolson
Spice Company, but to protect their
greater interests as Arbuckle Bros,
coffee roasters, and therefore, though
an ordinary stockholder might have re-
lief, the plaintiffs cannot.

he was no good. The boy has since been
earning living by selling papers. He
boarded with Mrs. McMullen, on Court
street.
While going home last Sunday and pass
ing the West Virginian office, the boy
says Fehr called him in. The boy went
in. says Mr.. Fehr took him up stairs into
his private room. where the crime is al
legged to have been committed. The boy
told Mrs. McMullen, and she secured

Knoxville, Tenn, April 9.-Of the
fifty-two guests who were sleeping in
the Hotel Knox yesterday morning
when the fire broke out, only thirty
five have been accounted for. The

The work of searching for the re-
mains in the ruins was begun late this

be much larger thon it was at first
thought. Charred remains were found
in different localities of the ruins.

Weeks, the cutlery drummer for the
Rochester house, had attempted to
carry out his sample case.
e. A. Williams, of Springfield, anoth-
er who was beyond a doubt burned, was
CO years old and had been travelling
South for his health.
Large rewards have been offered for
the bodies. and a large force of men are
at work tonight clearing away the
debris
Of the injured, perhaps only one will
die. J. C. NJ. Boyle, of Tennessee, civil
engineer. lies in a very critical condi-
ticn at the city hospital. He inhaled
flames and his limbs are burned badly.
Messrs. Kephart, Mcmillan, Hogan,
Keck. Hudson and Hicks, all Of Knox
VILE. who are the most painfully hurt,
are recovering.
An almost correct estimate Of the
losses and insurance has been secured.
It is as follows:
Total loss, 81, Gil 600; total insurance,
$614,2O9.1O.
Many of the firms burned out have
secured temporary quarters, and the
wholesale houses especially have never
stopped filing orders.

Chicago, April 81. G. Matalene,
who lives at IS North Clark street was
shot in the left side near the heart last
night at the foot of Chicago avenue, by
one of two men who, he says, decoyed
him to that lonesome spot by a false
invitation to a reception of the Della

the attack, and as his assailants were
attempting to escape fired two shots at
them. One of the men fell and Mata-
