A HOT GAME TO COME.

Next Saturday will undoubtedly
witness one of the most exciting base
ball contests of the season. Morris
vile has a game booked for Satur-
day afternoon, on the old fair
grounds, with the weIl-known crack
team from Essex Junction. This for
town team, was last year the cham
pion team of Vermont, winning
games from the strong teams at st.
Adams, Vergennes, Bristol, Platts-
burgh, N. T., and elsewhere. They
will come with strong array of
talent. Morrisville is playing faster
ball than at any time in the season.
Austin, the Barre League man will
pitch for Morrisville, Soule, the
catcher, will probably be in remnants
before night, but he has no fears of
the ordeal. The battery of the visit
ing team will lie the same that has
led them to many ENTHUSIASTICALLY

Soule, Morrisville's popular catcher,

their reverse action. Among the

other local organization, the w. T..
T. Z. for instance, or something OF
that sort; but maybe we shall not
witness such a possible contest this
season. AS we were about to say,
however, these grangers tackled the

the field with the hay seed blown all
out OF their hair and whiskers, proud

rise to fame dancing before their
eyes.
This very last Saturday the tables
were turned, the teams met again,

Filibustering.

Two Years imprisonment and a Fine for

Judge Butler at Philadelphia to two years

cost of prosecution.
The cost Of the prosecution will amount to
about $4,000. The Captain was taken TO
prison Immediately after sentence had been
pronou need.
As he sentenced the prisoner, Judge Butler
said, among other things: 81 regret that It 1s
my duty to sentence you, but believe that
you were convicted after fair and impartial
trial. The offence you committed is grave
one, involving National honor and Nationa!
peace. You entered upon the commission OF
It with full knowledge OF its gravity. You
took the risk for price and must pear the
consequences"
The court was crowded when sentence was
passed and great deal OF sympathy with tne
Captain was expressed.
Hart Is a man Of about forty years. and ne
has been engaged In the fruit importing bust
ness for about fifteen years. When the CUBAN
war broke out he leased his steamships, the
Bermuda and the Laurada, to the Cuoans,
who sent several cargoes OF arms and muni-
tion Of war to Cuba on them. The vessels
did splendid service in the Cuban cause. :,
Cap, ain Hart's case will either be appealed
to the United States Supreme Court or Presi-
dent Mckinley will be asked to pardon MIN.

THE TRUSTS IN NEW YORK.
Report Of the Lexow Legislative Commit.
.,, tee..-A Remedial Bill

Report OF the Lexow Legislative Commit.
.', tee---A Remedial Bill.
Senator Lexow's Committee, which has
been. investigating the operations OF the
trusts, has made liz report to the New York
Senate. The report says that trust agree.
ments no longer form the basis OF, nor are
they q constituent part Of the aggregations
Of capital which are commonly looked upon
now as trusts. In discussing this question OF
trusts, the committee finds that 1t ia unnec.
essary that absolute monopoly shall exist in
order that the operations OF trust may be
secured.
The committee does not quite agree that
the trusts and monopolies complained OF
are natural result Of the progressive eyolu-
ton of rhe times, and while 1t does not
recognize all combinations Of capital as
trusts in the proper sense, it does recog-
nize that unless the evils complained Of
are corrected 1t will be but short time be-
fore continuance OF the operation OF such
combinations will tend to stifle competition
and place the regulation Of supply and the
price Of product, as well as the business OF
The country, in the hands OF few.

will empower the A'torney-General to in
vestigate trust on the complaint Of any
sitizen OF an alleged violation OF law, which
