the kitchen and all within hearing were
startled by two shots in quick success
sion
Several policemen were soon in the
neighborhood, and Mayor Patterson led
them to the dining-room. They entered
with drawn revolvers, but Himmelrich
had put his gun away, and simply re-
marked:
Il am the man you are looking for" -"
His wife was sitting on a chair, sur
rounded by the women from the kitchen.
Two shots were fired, but Himmelrich
explained at police headquarters that the
first shot was accidental, the second was
aimed at his wife. He then turned to-
ward his heart, but his wife pleaded so
hard for him not to kill himself prom
ising 10 return 10 him and live as true
wife should, that he changed his mind
He wept as he told Mayor Paterson the
story of the alienation of his wife's affec-
tions by a Harrisburg man, and said that
was the motive of the attempted murder
His wife may recover.

A FRUIT TRUST.
Bannnas md Cocoanuts VIII b.
Controlled by Combine.

Bananus md Cocoanuts VIII he
Controlled by n Combine.
Baltimore, Oct. 8.-The completion of a
big fruit combine, affecting the cities of
Boston. New York Philadelphia. and Bal
timore, has just been announced, and will
affect the local fruit trade considerably
The Buckman Fruit Company. on Bow
ly's wharf, represents the Baltimore end
of the combine. Mr.. c. c. Buckman.
president of the company, said yesterday
that the combine was the Boston Fruit
Company of Boston and Jamaica. and
was composed of the Boston Company,
the Quaker Fruit Company of Philadel-
phia, the American Fruit Company of
New York, and the Buckman Fruit Com
pany of Baltimore.
1.-The object of the combine" said Mr..
Buckman, rs to prevent, as far as pos
sible, the over-stocking of the market
with bad fruit, as was the case before the
war. We practically control the output
from San Domingo, Jamaica, and all of
Eastern Cuba. In Jamaica we own $200o,-
600 worth of plantations, besides having
control of others.
1.-The idea of the combine grew out of
the results of the shipments of poor ba-
nanas to this country from one or two
Cuban ports. The Boston Company went
quietly to work and got together all the
planters contiguous to these ports and is
now in a position to control the entire
output east of Matanzas- The combine
is making preparations for handling enor-
nous quantities of bananas, oranges and
cocoanuts, and twenty-five new ships are
being built, among them the Admiral
Sampson, Admiral Dewey and Admiral
Watson | tbs estimated that from the
ports controlled by the combine there will
be an enormous output of bananas during
the next season. which begins about the
first of April. Our company will receive
three cargoes week, $4,000 punches in
each cargo. The result of bringing such
a quantity of bananas to Baltimore will
be that prices will be very low.
This week we received a cargo of ba-
nanas on the Alfred Dumois, which
would have been sufficient TO supply the
market here. Another cargo brought up
by other parties arrived and the result
was the bananas sold today and yester-
day at ridiculous prices, anywhere from
] to so cents a bunch, according to quail
ty and condition. A number of wagon
loads, containing thirty-five punches. sold
at 10 cents a load. There were some, sold
that sold for from 81 to S2. AS the COM
bine viii control all the best plantations
in East Cuba and Jamaica. its competit-
ors will be forced to buy an inferior kind
of fruit from the peasants and smaller
growers.
THE output of bananas is increasing
every year. and. in spite of the combine,
the market is bound to become over
stocked TO certain extent Only a few
of the punches of bananas that came up
this week were sold for so cents each"

term is a little vague but the llmita-

suit of the election means, without
doubt. the endorsement Of the adj
ministration in this policy.
