ONE TRUST KNOCKED OUT.
SUPREME COURT DECIDES AoATxsT
Tnr STONE PIPE COMBINE.
Holds That the Concern cemes
Within the Dennition Of Tract,
IL ILLEGAL, sad II Within the
Purview Of the Federal Statutes.

WARRINGTON. Dec. Ain the United
States supreme court today the Add'stone
case was decided. This case involved the
constitutionality Of the combination of pipe
manufacturers to manufacture pipe. which.
II was charged. was a trust. The decision
was handed down by Justice Peckham.
and was adverse to the combination. 1t was
therefore In opposition to the trust
The opinion concludes:
1T II almost needless to add that We do
not hold that every private enterprise
which may be carried on chiefly or In part
by means Of interstate shipments. is going
to be regarded ~ related to interstate COM
marce, 50 as to come within the regulating
power of congress. Such enterprises may
be Of the same nature as the manufacture
Ing of refined Bugar-that II, the parties
may be engaged a. manufacturers OF q
commodity which they thereafter intend at
some time to sell, and possibly do sell. In
another state; but such sale we have al
ready held ID an incident to and not the
direct result OF the manufacture. and 20
In not q regulation OF or interference with
interstate commerce. The principle II not
affected by anything herein decided"
The decision draws clear distinction be-
tween combinations affecting interstate
commerce and those applying to one state
only. The opinion attracted very great at
tention, because 1t Is the FIRST opinion on
the subject OF trusts which has been hand
ed down since the subject of trusts has
come into great prominence.

MoLINEUx TRIAL COMMENCES.
Prisoners Father Much Affected BY
the Attacks on His SON.

the Attacks on His SON.
NEW YORK. Dec 4--The actual trial
of Roland B. Molineux, charged with
causing the death Of Mrs. Katherine J.
Adams by sending poison to Harry 8.
Cornish with intent to kill. commenced
today, though legal preliminaries have al
ready occupied twelve days, that much
time having been consumed In getting a
jury. The proceedings today were occu-
pied by the opening address to the jury
Of Assistant District Attorney Osborne.
At the request OF the counsel for the
defense the indictment found by the
grand jury was read. The indictment
was read in full, the prisoner listening
attentively and composedly.
When the reading Of the indictment had
missal on the ground that the proof was
not sufficient. The court overruled the
motion, and Assistant District Attorney
Osborne began his opening speech.
Throughout the scathing Introductory re-
marks Of the attorney for the prosecu-
ton the accused remained COOL calm and
Indifferent. In striking contrast with the
demeanor of the younger Molineux was
the attitude of his father, Gen. Leslie
Molineux. Again and again as Mr.. Os-
borne attacked the character of the pris-
oner the old man burst into tears. The
attempt Of Osborne to bring in the name
erbocker Athletic Club from the effects Of
cyanide of mercury poisoning, Mr.. Weeks
representing the defense. objected in most
energetic fashion. He asked the court to
order the district attorney not to again
refer to the Barnett case. The recorder
refused to so rule or to order. The court
adjourned until tomorrow.

FOR THE FARMER.


February and March eho, III I've
busy months with the straw berry
growers IL the southern and cen
trail parts of the country preparing
and planting new fields, and scrap
ing out, manuring and mulching If
fields to bear IL little later, is now
in order.
AS to the planting, it should
everywhere he done as early as the
season will possibly admit. The
strawberry plant i exceedingly
hardy in cool or cold moist soil II
is delicate and hard to live only
when it has been first set, to CON
troll with heat, draught or drying
winds. Thousands of plants are lost
from being set too late to where tens
are lost by being Set too early. The
early set plant, too, gets II start be-
fore cutworms, should they he pres
ent in the soil, become active. They
scarcely harm any hut late set
plants checked in growth by dry,
windy weather.
As fine Strawberries as ever grew
can he made with stable manure
aud wood ashes-say at rate OF 100
to 200 bushels Of ashes and ten,
twenty or more loads OF manure.
All kinds of manures can be very
heavily used with safety if thorough
ly mixed with the soil before plant
ing. Manures on light soils should
be plowed in deeper than on stiff
soils. They are then less apt to
wash out. For it is now generally
conceded that light, sandy soils lose
their fertility far less from its being
carried down, as was once believed,
than from its being leached out
from the unretentious sand and car
ried off on the surface. The fact
that little or no signs Of the manure
lost on such soils is ever found in
the snb-soil seems to be conclusive
on this point.
Fields expected to fruit this
Spring must be kept clear of weed
by shallow scraping The richer
