LIKE THE EARLY EIGHTIES,
Regular Od-fashloned Kick Between Tx
bridge and WhitinsviIle.

Whitinsville, June 10.-The Within
ana Hecla game on the Railroad street
grounds this afternoon ended in a row
in the first of the ninth inning. Gore,
who was called out by Umpire Burke
on the home base, claimed the ball
was blocked, but Burke gave his de-
cision as out, and gave the visiting
team five minutes to decide, but as they
did not, the game was given to Within,
to 0. The game was very interesting
and was full of brilliant plays. The
features of the game were the bat
ting Of T. Walsh pitching of F. Walsh,
Richardson at short. Nelson in centre,
Lee at second. catching of Davis and
Gore. The score stood 4 to 4, and looked
as though ten innings would have to
be played to settle the game, but when
the kick came, all interest was lost
in the game.

SELECTMEN POST NOTICES.
Rev. J. F. Redican Presents
to Town Clerk 500 to
Improve a Highway.

Leicester, June 1O,-The monthly
meeting of the seIectmen was held this
afternoon at o'clock The matter Of
scorching by bicycle riders at a rate
Of speed considerably beyond the 10
miles per hour prescribed by Jaw. was
talked over and notices were posted to-
day after the meeting calling attention
TO chapter III, sec. /, acts of 1895,
which prohibits scorching within the
town limits.
Bicycle riders delight to pedal along
the state road at as high a rate Of
speed as they can put on and only
recently three children have been
struck at Cherry Valley by reckless
riders. 1t has been decided 20 put Il
stop 10 this practice which makes il
unsafe for foot passengers to cross the
highway, and the law will be enforced
in all its phases.
The selectmen have received a per
sonal check from Rev. J. F. Rciican
for the sum of 800. He wished them
to apply the money on the work Of
grading Waite street, as they saw IT

tie was granted to Nathan Southwick.
This is the first one granted in town
his year, and others who usually ap-
ply for a license should remember that
they are liable to a fine for not pay

The funeral of Miss Alice Rice was
held from St. Joseph's church at Q
o'clock this morning. Rev. J. F. Red
lean celebrated a requiem high mass
and preached an eulogy. The Young

THE IRON PIPE COMBINE

IRON reports given in Eastern exchanges
It appears that the pipe manufacturers combi-
nation, against which the Supreme Court gave
judgment on Monday, was veritabe combination in
restraint OF trade and had something like lead pipe
cnch on the market 1t fixed prices to suit itself and
varied them when it chose, having no fear whatever
OF any competition.
In the report given OF the decision OF the court II
was stated that the contract OF the combination pro-
vided Tor auctionng off the right to make bids for
supplying with pipe cities in allotted territory the
successful bidder to meet opposition from other
members OF the trust or ii other bids were made none
OF them should be lower than that of the company
to which the award had been made by the combina-
ton In in which bids were asked for in terri
tory allotted members OF the territory the agree
ment that no bids should be made except under
the supervision Of the company in charge OF that ter
ritory under the agreement.
AS to the manner in which the agreement was car
ried learn from our exchanges that testimony
taken in the showing that in 1896 the indi-
vidual members OF the combine were willing to fur
nish pipe OF the various sizes commonly called for n
SI3 S4 25 and S4 so per ton but that the price ex-
acted from the city Of Atlanta, for example. was
S22 Is. The contract taken at this rate by the
Annston Pipe and Foundry Company, and out of
the proceeds bonus OF s. per ton was distributed
to the other five members OF the combine
One OF the most interesting features OF the tes-
tmony the proof that the combination had a
practice OF making large cities such as Atlanta New
Orleans, ST. Louis and Omaha, pay higher rates than
small towns which bought less quantities and whose
trade was for other reasons, less desirable This dis
elimination against large and large orders was
made the principle OF charging what the traffic
would bear" Presumably the large towns can paw
more per ton for waterppe than small towns there
fore they should be charged more. In other words.
there was market price for iron pipe. Each con-
sumer had his pile sized, and then compelled to
stand and deliver.
II is gratifying that the Supreme Court found in
the law OF declaring such combination il
legal and thus putting stop to its practices Caor-
mans however, will take notice that the iron pipe
men are not the only magnates who have custom
Of taxing traffic all it will bear. This State being
rich and prosperous, has been made to pay heavy
ireights for good many years that principle and
the express companies have fixed charges by the same
rule. Now that the pipe cinch has been broken it
may be possible for the to break other cinches
in the way. AT any rate a precedent has been
established and the application of it viii widen with
