Standard Oil Trust Now Defies the
Courts.
SENSATIONAL CHARGES
NINFoRMED IN ADVANCE OF
COURTS DECISION.
Three wagon-loads of Books Burned
Just Before the Ohio Supreme
Court Ordered the Company to
Produce Them-Drunken Teamster
Gave It Away.

Cleveland. o., Dec. 21.-Developments
of a most sensational nature in the
Standard Oil investigation came TO
light today, when Attorney General
Monnett began taking dispositions for
the purpose Of proving that the Stand
ard Oil company, just previous to the
issue of the supreme court writ that
the books Of the company be produced
in court, had destroyed large number
OF its books.
During the investigation of the
Oil trust before Commissioner Brismade
a few weeks ago, the Standard refused
to produce its books in evidence. The
matter was taken to the supreme court,
and on Dec. that court ordered the
Standard Oil company to produce its
books covering the period from 1892 to
1897, to show whether the Standard
had paid dividends during that time to
the holders of the trust certificates.
Previous to the decision Of the su-
preme court Virgil 2. Kline, attorney
for the Standard, spent several days in
Columbus, and it is alleged that he re-
ceived information beforehand in re-
gard to the courts decision, and at
once notified the officials of the Stand
ard company.
The taking of dispositions was COM
menced before Harry c. Mason. The
4 most important witness produced was
John Darnlstetter, a rabbi of a Bo
hemian church.
Rabbi Darmstetter testified that one
evening three or four weeks ago he
went into the saloon OF E. II. Pollock
to see Pollock, who is an official Of his
church. He said that at the time Pol
lock was waiting upon several Bohem-
ian laborers, who were employees Of
the Standard Oil company, and he sat
down until the saloonkeeper got
through with his customers.
Darmstetter said that one of the men
in the saloon was quite hilarious, and
was asked: why are you fellows doing
so much treating?"
Two OF the men then engaged in a
conversation, and, flashing q roll of
bills, said that they had got some good
stuff working overtime. One Of them,
who was teamster, said that he and
another teamster had loaded UP lot
of books at the Euclid avenue office of
the Standard Oil company, and had
taken them to the company's furnace,
where they were burned Edward
O'HeaTn, a teamster in the employ of
the Standard Oil company, was found
and placed on the witness stand. He
testified that on the Saturday before
Thanksgiving day he was ordered to go
TO the office of the company on Euclid
avenue and carry some boxes from
there to the company'S warehouse on
independence street. He said he got
the boxes, sixteen in number. and de-
livered them as ordered. He did not
know the names o. the employees who
turned the boxes over to him, nor those
who received them at the warehouse
He declared that he did not know what
was in them, and denied having made
the declaration in q. saloon that they
contained account books.

DlRIGIBLE BALL00NING.
r&-Fnglish Aeronaut Uses Andree's
Method of Steering.

Method of Steering.
New York. Dec. PA dispatch to the
Times from London says: The Daily
Chronicle successfully carried out the
first trip from London to the continent
in a Siderable balloon. For weeks past
the large balloon in the grounds of the
Crystal palace has been awaiting a
northerly or northwesterly wind. 1t
started at 1888 o'clock in the morning
The passengers We're Percival Spencer,
the famous aeronaut, TO whom the bal
loon belonged, and Lawrence Swim
burne of the Daily Chronicle staff.
The balloons cubic capacity is Sc, 900
feet. and its weight, empty, ten and a
half hundred weight. The steering ap-
paratUs consists of a sail twelve feet
square, Weighing ten pounds. and a
trail rope 500 feet long, with q. hundred
pound weight at the end. When steer
ing becomes necessary the balloon de-
scends until the rope trails on the
ground and by attaching the upper end
te one side or other of a ring above the
car. the sail is brought round to catch
wind. In this manner a course of four
or five points from the direction of the
wind can be sailed.
The balloon was reported by Lloyds'
signal men TO he crossing Keachy Head
at 1870 Soon after o'clock it was re-
ported to be passing over Fecamp. Mr..
Swinburne telegraphed the Chronicle
that the balloon descended safely at St
Roman. fifteen miles east of Havre, at
z:S5. and that the steering apparatus
was employed twice during the trip.
The aercnauts had one narrow escape,
when the balloon descended too close
TO the waves. and shipped water in
). S6d-channel.
" Although the general purpose of the
trip was 10 add to the knowledge con-
corning dirigible balloons special inter
est attaches to it, owing to the light it
may throw upon the fate of Andree,
whose balloon, in which he attempted
20 reach the north pole, was rugged
with a precisely similar steering appa-
ratUs.
This is the fourteenth successful
cross-channel trip. several other at
tempts having had fatal results.

R0LLINGER'S MOTIVE.
Why the Chicago Man Murdered His
Wife.

Chicago, Dec. Elena Hecker, the
girl who was formerly employed in Roll
linger's restaurant on Milwaukee ave-
nue., appeared at police headquarters
today and told of her relations with
Rollinger The police believe her state
ments give a motive for the crime
which Rollinger is accused Of that of
numbering and partly cremating his
wife. According to Miss Hecker, Rol-
linger always represented himself as a
single man and when she discovered
that he had a wife and daughter she
gradually broke off relations with him.
This made Rollinger angry and soon
after, according to Miss Hecker, Rol-
linger began to mistreat his wife, and
several times accused her of being too
careless with the lamp she was accus-
toned to carry about the house.

Washington. Dec. 21.-The Dreferen-
tial tariff in favor of Great Britain has
not worked particularly well in Canada.
according to figures transmitted by
United States Commercial Agent Hunt
at Palmerston. For the four months
ending Oct. 81, the Dominion had been
allowing British goods a preference in
duty. According to the official returns
the importation of British goods in
creased slightly only in bulk, while
even paying the discriminating duty of
25 per cent the imports of iron and
steel from the United States increased,
and notably that they more than offset
the general tendency to increase over
British imports. An explanation is IN
officially made that Canadian exporters
preferred to await the outcome of the
present reciprocity negotiations at
Washington before transferring orders
from the United States to British
houses. hut it is candidly stated that

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Sharp Advance In Corn Helped the
Wheat Market.

Chicago, Dec. 2l.-For two hours fol-
lowing the opening in wheat the market
was extremely dull. The opening was
weak and lower. Liverpool showed de-
clines ranging from IA 10 I'D, and Paris
also reported a decline. The weather in
Argentine was reported to have greatly
improved, while rains in California con-
unued giving promise OF a very heavy
crop. May opened &c lower at 662tI667sc;
the market held at about that price for a
short time, then slowly but surely deVel-
oped strength Ia and ACTIVITY. Corn was the
big factor. That market got into new
high ground and the sharp ADVANCE rather
frightened wheat shorts, who came into
the market in gradually increasing num-
bers. To strengthen the bull situation,
Paris reported an advance in wheat equal
to 1@C112c per bushel. The market became
very active in the afternoon. Shorts
found considerable difficulty in covering
anything but very small lots, and in the
last hour they bid prices up with a rapid
ity that was refreshing to traders with
wheat for sale. Trade late in the session
was very broad and general. MAY adj
vanced to 6S$sc shortly before the close,
and that price was asked as the bell
sounded.
Corn opened rather weak and slightly
lower due to weak cables and the poor
quality OF corn receipts, but soon became
strong, and during the latter part of the
session was remarkably active and firm.
Export demand was again excellent. Ship
pers We're large buyers against sales of
cash. This, started shorts to covering,
but corn was scarce until prices had been
bid up sharply. Leading bull interests
also bought aggressively. May closed
1856 higher.
Oats were rather slow, but strong. The
advance in corn was Ne main factor,
causing scattered covering by shorts all
day. May closed &c higher.
Provisions were decidedly dull, compared
with wheat and corn. The market was
rather wobbly at first, due to heavy for
eign markets and free selling by packers.
The strength of the grain markets later
brought plenty of buyers into the mar
ket and in the latter part of the session
the market was firm, prices advancing a
little. At the close May pork was sc
higher. May lard 212G5c higher, and ribs
&c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
