UNLAWFUL COMBINATION.
Federal Supreme Court knocks Out the
Iron Pipe Trust

Federal Supreme Court Knock. Out tho
Iron Pipe Trust
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-In the United
States supreme court the Addistone
Pipe case was decided. This case in
volved the constitutionality of the COM
bination Of pipe manufactures to manu-
facture pipe which it was charged was
trust. The decision was handed down
by Justice Peckham and was adverse
to the combination. It was, therefore,
in opposition to the trust.
The opinion of the court of appeals
for the Sixth circuit was affirmed.
= The decision draws a clear distinc-
ton between com inations affecting H.
terstate commerce and those applying
to one state only. The opinion at
tracted very general attention because
it is the first opinion on the subject Of
trusts which has been handed down
since the subject of trusts has come
into great prominence.

Battle Of Modder River Described in q
: Newspaper Dispatch.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Daily Chron-
icle. publishes the following dispatch,
dated Wednesday, Nov. 20, morning,
from its correspondent at Modder river
camp: =. a..
1.-The severest engagement our col
umn has yet had and probably tho Sc
verest of the whole campaign was
fought yesterday on the banks Of the
Modder river. The battle was waged
tiercely for nearly IA hours.
THE enemy occupied strongly en-
trenched position, their front extending
five miles along the bank of the stream.
They were we'll supplied with artillery
and fought desperately.
"Our force consisted of the Second
battalion Of the Coldstream Guards,
the First battalion of the Scots Guards,
the Third battalion of the Grenadier
Guards, the First battalion of the North
cumberland Fusiliers, the Second bat
talon of the Yorkshire light infanty,
(the Kings Own, part of the First
battalion Of the Loyal North Lanca-
shire regiment, the Ninth Lancers, the
mounted infantry, three batteries Of
field artillery and the first battalion OF
the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
Princess Louise's).
1.-The latter reinforced us from Gen:
eral Wauchepe's> brigade and arrived
just in time for the fight. The battle
started at day break, our guns Smelling
the Beers left.
Awful Hail Of Bullets.
1.-THE enemy replied with artillery,
Hotchkisses and Maxims, and the
artillery duel lasted some hours. Then
there was brief lull in the enemy's
operations, of which the general i'm.
mediateiy took advantage. Our infan-
try advanced across the plain towards
the river i'll two brigades. The guards,
on the right, were met by an awful
hail of bullets from the eneny's sharp.
shooters, posted close to the river or
the opposite bank. Ours had 40 shelter
whatever, and were simply moved
down. 1t seemed impossible to live
through the terrible fire, but the brave
fellows did not retreat an inch. The
Boer fire was horribly accurate, and
they must have numbered at least
10000
''The Scots Guards advanced COG
yards before they were fired on. Then
they had to lie down to escape the
deadly fusiladeA which lasted without
intermission throughout the day.
1.-THE Highlanders made several at.
te,npts to force passage of the river,
but they were exposed to such muir.
derous entilading fire that they had tc
retire after they had suffered terribly.
subsequently party of the guards
got over and held their own for hours
THE general opinion Ct the staff is
| that there had never been such a sus
tanned fire in the annals Of the British
army as that which our troops had tc
face yesterday. Our men fell in dozens
while trying to rush the bridge.
'Night puc a9 end to the terrible
bloodshed. The infantry brigade was
terribly cut up.
1.-The Beers retreated at night, taking
| their guns with them, and we are now
occupying their position. The enemy's
loss was tremendous"

MODDER RIVER LOSS.
British Casualties There Numbered Over
Four Hundred.

British Cas- naltieS There Numbered Over
Four Hundreds.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-As surmised, the
British, dead and wounded at the hard
fought battle Of Modder river number
hundreds. Up to 2 o'clock p. M. only
the bare total, 435, of which mum Der 73
were killed, had been given out. So it
is impossible to deduct from 1.-THE
butchers bill" such information regard
ing the nature Of the fight as details of
the losses of the different units gener-
ally Indicate. :,
From Genefal Forrestier-Walker's
dispatch it is proved that all reports of
General Methuen's advance. after the
battle of Modder river were premature,
though, with. the. railroad working he
should not be long in constructing a
temporary bridge. His enforced delay,
doubtless, will be of considerable serv.
ice in giving his nard pushed column
needful rest, and in allowing the arrival:
Of reinforcements, Of which he must be:
sorely in need, after three. such fights,
placing hors du combat upwards of a.
thousand men out Of less than : 1000. 1

I tivate the acquaintance Of drunken men
and to go through them at the opportuue
time, using such violence as may be need
cd for the purpose.
Il do not mean to say that a hungry
tramp should not be fed, although instead
of cold vituals I should rather give him
one OF the cheap meal tickets which can
be bought for cents apiece, but / have
seen two tramps working together, one
collecting the food at the doors, and the
other following him with q huge bag into
which the supplies were emptied from time
to time. Finally, when the bag was full,
the rascals carried ii TO an Italian dog
gerry on the East Side, which supplied the
Italian aqueduct laborers with cheap food
and booze. Here the beggars converted
their victuals into money or drink, or
both, and were then ready to begin once
more. 1t is the most difficult thing in the
world, though. to keep people from help
ing man who claims that he is hungry.
Why, ! know q man named Seibel.
sOod-looking. one-legged fellow of fine adj
dress, who has established a cripple trust.
When anything extraordinary is going on
in the city ne brings over from Brook
fyn or wherever he keeps them as many
as six or a dozen cripples or whatever
number he can use, stations them in good
places and sets them to work begging for
dear life. If they are arrested he hires a
lawyer for them and otherwise protects
them, He once had the effrontery while
acknowledging this scheme, to offer me
SIS per month for keeping away from him
and his men. Notwithstanding all the
difficulties of his position, he must be we'll

front of the Metropolitan Opera House on
an opera night. A swell carriage drove
up. Out of il a man emerged whose face
l could not see at first, in faultless even
ing dress, crush hat and all the other ag-
ony of a great dude, with apparently a
slight halt in his walk, who handed out
in grand style a beautifully gowned lady
and told the coachpan when to call for
them. AS the pair entered the Opera
House. saw his face. 1t was Seibel with
an artificial leg.

At the City Magistrates Court in the
Criminal Court building, in Center street.
Officers Andrew Ferretti and Alexander
Patton are detailed for this work. and $50
arrests have been made since Feb l. 1897.
1t is believed at the court that nearly all
street beggars have been driven from the
district.
AT Jefferson Market station, Sixth ave

made.
At No, 60 Essex street James. n Rren-

There is no particular legend connected
with it, but most of the mysterious noises

their origin there, and many other prison.

resembling that of Marquee.
So much for the evidence in the case.
What renders it well nigh unique in the
chronicles Of the supernatural is not so
much the nature of the alleged manifesto
tons as the number and character of the
witnesses. Taking ghosts seriously went
out of fashion about the same time as
hoopskirts, but the passing of the ancient

common sense to explain and nothing
queerer has bobbled w for many a day

Counsel for McKelvery objected on the
ground that the rule established In the
case OF the state against Sudden only per-
mitted the introduction Of such hearsay
evidence as was corroborati tive, and only to
the extent of proving the corpus dellct
and not to indicate the guilty person. The
presiding judge, Gage, held that the time
of making the statement was essential
and as that could only be shown by the
statement Itself, It would not be proper TO
allow 1t.
The girls death had been sudden and
unexpected, end no ante-mortem statement
