No FEAR
OF TRUST.
Local Dry Goods Mer-
chant Thinks the
Scheme lmprac.
tiCabIe.

Worry lite Importance is attached in
Wilmington to the reported organization
OF a Sc. O00. 900 dry goods corporation. to
control and operate dry goods stores and
department stores throughout the coun-
try. Prominent merchants in this city
are doubtful of the matter, and say that,
even should such corporation be started
they can accomplish but little. The Mer-
camille Reorganization Company was re-
comfy Incorporated in Trenton, N. j., it
is said, a' preliminary to this big trust.
The plans of the company arc said to in.
clude the buying out Of stores in towns of
twenty thousand inhabitants or SO, and
making the former owners managers and
stockholders BY this means tho central
jobbins house could supply without COM
petition all of the branch stores all over
tho country. 1t would do away VII Ii
travelling salesman, also, it is said.
In this city merchants look upon the
scheme as highly imp'acticable. saying
that the field is too large 10 ALLOW Of any
titon there would DO little advantage of
such combination, 1t is contendcd and
the general opinion seems to DO that even
II organized thoroughly and carried out
on the extensive scao said TO be intended,
the new concern can affect but few, II
any, of the big jobbing houses throughout
the county.

CHANCERY.
Construction of John
MCFarIane'S Now the
Subject of Litiga-
ton.

Howell s. England, representing Gar
rett and Barr yesterday secured from
Chancellor Nicholson an injunction tenn
porAlly restraining John McFTlane of No.
3lOk East Second street from building,
working Oh or placing any structure or
material on the anciepS open space" situ-
ate between the residence now occupied
by McFarane and Garrett Il Barr's mo-
rocco factory.
McFarlane lives at 3l0k East Second
street. Between his house and the moroc-
co factory is lot owned by McFarlane
which has been vacant for 25 years. Re-
Gently McFarlane began the construction
of a building on this lot
The new building is now SO far under
cons ruction as to be up to the second
story. While Contractor Sharp aud his
men were at work yesterday afternoon,
Deputy Sheriff Bradley appeared on the
scene and served the Injunction issued by
the Chancellor.
There was nothing for contractor Sharp
to do but to stop work. This he did. and
the structure will remain in its state of
incompletion until the Chancellor gives
tho parties concerned a hearing.
Arthur H. G. Garrett and William A.
Barr of tha firm Garrett g. Barr, claim
that if the east wall of the building under
construction be further built or completed
1t will work great, certain and irrepar-
able injury to the firm by deprtving them
of air and light.
The circumstances are peculiar iuas-
much as McFarlane is constructing the
building with an alley about two feet in
width on the east side Nevertheless Gar
rett e. Barr claim that McFarlane has not
the right to erect the building.
In the injunction the order of restraint
says McFarlane must not Interfere with
any part of the light OF air accu toned to
pass in and through tho ancient windows
