To those who are worrying about
trusts, their ponderous strength and
the evil uses to which they are put,
the following news from the Albany
Herald may be of great benefit;
The Indiana Supreme court has
rendered a decision that public
corporation which entered into
combination with other corporations
TO destroy competition and thereby
increase the price at which an arti-
Gle was sold to the inhabitants of
the state becomes liable to a forfeit
ure of its corporate franchise. The
decision is in the case Of the state
OIL the relation of a prosecuting at
tolney against the Portland Nation
al Gas & Oil Company. Judge
Jordan, of the supreme court, who
wrote the decision, says, in part:
When the state seeks 10 destroy
the life of all incorporated body it
is expected to show some grave
misconduct, some act at least by
which it has offended the law of its
creation, or something material
which tends to produce injury to
the public and not merely that
which affects only private interests
for which other adequate remedies
are provided. Where, however, the
facts disclose that corporation has
failed in the discharge of its corpo-
rate duties by uniting with others
in carrying out an agreement, the
performance of which is detr1men-
tai or injurious to the public, it
thereby may be said to offend
against the law of It's creation and
consequently to forfeit its rights to
it's franchises. The authorities
affirm that if the act complained of,
by its results, will restrict or stifle
competition, the law will regard
such an act as incompatible with
public policy.

THE WIFE
EL0pED !
eft Husband and Child, But Overtaken
by a Constable.
ARRESTED AT MAHAEOY CITY |
Whom Arralsned Before Justice Toomey
the Woman Tells story of Cruelty.
The Diplomatic Justice Eventu-
ally Brings About Recon-
ciliation, Ending the
Case.

Matthew Tratchick, a well dressed and
intelligent Pole, rushed into the office of
Justice Toomey last night in an'excited
manner and appealed for the aid of tho law
to secure the return Of his wife, Mary He
said the woman had run of with a boarder
named Teo6l Gasinski, about an hour before,
and that she had left without care her infant
child, which is afflicted with paralysis. The
boarder was also charged with taking f25
belonging to Tratchck.
The husband did not seem to care so much
about the money, bat was very anxious to
get his wife back, and warrant was issued
for her arrest on charge of abandoning her
child. The warrant was given to Constable
Giblon, who turned it over to Constable
Phillips. The latter happened to visit Maha-
noy City this morning aud accidentally met
the woman. He placed her under arrest and
brought her to town.
When arraigned before Justice Toomey the
woman, who was Of comely appearance and
neatly dressed, wept bitterly. She admitted
that she had eloped with the boarder, but
said she was driven to desperation By ILL
treatment that her husband frequently beat
her and she abandoned her child because
she intended 10 earn her own living, and
could not do so if burdened with the care of
the crippled infant. She also stated that she
was but Is years old and had been married
two years. Her husband is 20 years old.
After hearing the womau's story Justice
Toomey proceeded to effect a reconciliation.
The woman said she was willing to return
home, provided that she would receive as
surances that she would not be further ILL
| treated. This promise the husband made.
but the wife said she feared he might break
it upon arrival home. The Justice then said
there was the alternative of going to Jail,
whereupOn the woman asked how
long term would be given her.
Persistent in his persuasion, the Justice
changed tactics aud appealed to the mother
love, aud finally the woman consented to 90
home with her husband. II don't think he
loves me. If he did, l would love him ten
times MORE" she said. The husband pro-
tested that he would not allow any boarders
in his house hereafter The Justice wished
the couple happiness and the case ended.

DIED IN A WOODS.
Miners Sad Death After Thrilling Escapes
in the Mines.

funeral at MahanOy City to-day brought
out for publication, for the first time, the
distressing circumstances attending the death
Of the person buried, as well as recalling
several affairs of interest concerning mine
accidents of the past.
Charles Hooking, aged go years, left his
home at Kaska William last Sunday morn
ing and visited his daughter, Mrs. Michael
SPOTS, at Lake Run, four miles distant In
the evening Hooking started homewards
After travelling about four hundred yards
and when in a woods, the old man was
stricken with paralysis, which disabled him,
but did not render him unconscious.
Polish man happened along, walking to
Kaska William, and gave assistance to the
victim. carrying water in his hat from
spring. This man offered to carry Hooking
home, but the offer was declined and Hook
ing said he would not go home but return to
his daughters after rest.
On Monday afternoon a boy hunting a lost
pig in the woods found Hook ing's dead body.
Investigation revealed the facts as above
stated, To-day the funeral of the victim
took place and the remains were inferred in
one of the cemeteries at Mahanoy City.
Hooking was an old miner. He formerly
resided at Morea. His death recalls mine
accident at the Sugar Loaf cOlliery, Luzerns
county, when he narrowly escaped even a
worse fate than the one he met in the
woods. Hooking and four other men were in
the mine when subsidence started. A
driver boy was sent in on mule TO notify
the men, but before any of them could get
out the cave-in took place, the men, boy and
mule being inclosed in one chamber. They
were kept there six days, the men meanwhile
killing the mule and subsisting on It,
The case also recalls the disaster at Kaska
William colliery several months ago. One of
the bodies still in the mine is that of William
Morgan. HOckiug's son-in-law. Morgan's
widow has made a settlement with the COM
pany for the loss of her husband, whereby
she is to receive $50 per month for seven
years for the support of herself and two
children.

The County Commissioners express them
selves willing and ready to carry out the
contract entered into with the Philadelphia
brokers' firm represented by II. A. Pierson
to issue new bonds at the rate of 81 per cent.
but the Controller. who at first gave his cou-
sent, now refuses to sign the bonds, after con-
sulting his counsel, S. H. Kaercher That is
why the bond deal is not consummated. Mr.
Pierson says he will take the bonds without
the signature of the Controller. and con-
tends that the latter's signature is not neces-
sary to make the bonds binding upon the
county. The Commissioners, however, will
not act unless the Controller stands by his
original agreement with them In the mean
time the delay Is costing the county the diff
ference between the higher rate of interest
now paid aud that offered by Person 81 per
cent besides the premium offered by the
latter Before the matter is definitely settled
long and expensive litigation is likely, and
the county pays the fiddler.
