The Hillsdale Chemical Company,
through its attorneys, W. D. Baker and
Henry NJ Earle, today filed suit in
equity against the Glyza Chemical Com
pany, John B. Danforth. and Rufus Help
henstine, asking the court to enioin the
defendants and their agents from :naking
and selling a certain product called Ter
raline" until further order OF the court.
1t is explained in the bill of complaint
the complainant is the, sole -owner of the
trademark ''Terraline" and has been since
October 8, 1888: that the trademark for
merly belonged to the Terraline Company,
a partnership composed of Rufus Helphen-
stine and James E. McKahan, and that on
May 5. 1898, the first-named defendant sold
all his interest in the trademark TO James
E. McKahan. According to the contract of
SALE. it is alleged that Helphenstine con-
veyed to McKahan all his rights and title
in the Terraline Company and further
agreed that he would not at any time,
either directly or indirectly, engage in the
manufacture or sale of ''Terraline.'
1t is also stated that on October g. 1898,
McKahan, then the sole owner OF the
trademark "Terraline." sold it to the COM
piainant; that thereupon the comp, ainant
invested a large sum of money in the
manufacture of "Terraline," some of
which it sold. 1t was found however, a
short time after that there was a great
falling off in the sale of "Terraline," and
upon investigation the complainant AYERS,
il discovered that the defendant Glyza
Chemical Company and the other defen-
dants were manufacturing "Terraline' in
this city, and that the defendent Helphen-
stine is manager of the defendant corpora
ton, engaged in the manufacture of Ter
raline."

Abraham Bildman, twenty-seven= years
old. a merchant who conducted a clothing
and shoe store at 1246 Seventh Street
northwest was found dying from asphyx-
iation in his sleeping apartment over the
store this morning at about $3.50 o'clo,k.
The circumstances surrounding his death
strongly indicate suicide.
Bildman. together with his wife AMI
two children. used the second and third
floors of the building in which his store
was located for living apartments. He
was last seen last night at about o'cio k,
when he went to bed in his room on the
second floor without fntimating 10 his wife
that he was i'll or saying or doing any
thing that would arouse suspicion. Mrs.
Bildman suspected nothing until this
morning about $3.50 O'Clock. When she
awakened, she noticed strong odor OF
gas. She Immediately proceeded to inyes-
tigate and finally located the source o. the
leakage in her husbands room. The doof
was unlocked and yielded readily to her
hand. The odor of gas was overpowering
and lying in the bed partly disrobed was
her husband, apparently dead. Although
the night was hot. the window and tran
som over the door were tiughtly closed.
Mrs. Bildman became frightened and
called in some of the neighbors. Closer
examination revealed the fact that Bid
man was still breathing, although his body
was cold. DR.. Coombs, of 800 NJ Street
northwest, was called, but when he arriv-
ed the man was dead.
Bildman had been in ill-health for more
than a year and during the greater part

well. He was suffering from stomach and
heart trouble and instead OF growing bet
ter had become worse during The past two
months. He took no interest in his busi-
ness and, owing to his lack of care, IL is
said, it had been Improbable for some
time past. During the last two or three
weeks he seemed very respondent and ac-
cording to the statements of his neigh
bors did not appear to be In his right
mind.
About two weeks ago he went to Bay
Ridge, and while there told friend that he
was tired of life and despaired of ever get
ting better. Added TO illyhealth his busi-
ness had worried him for some time past
and il is thought the combination Of troub-
les led him to end his life.
The deceased was a son Of Joseph Bid
man, Of 14G7 Sixth Street, northwest, who
is retired merchant.
Ii was stated by friends of the deceased
that he owned the building in which he
conducted his business and possessed other
property. The store Was a present from his

The Empire Moving Forward In All
Lines of Trade.
The industrial development of Germany
during the year 1898 is made the subject
OF report to the State Department from
J. c. Monaghan, United States Consul at
Chemnitz. The report indicates that the
Empire is moving to the front in nearly all
lines of trade. In giving a detailed account
Of the subject the consul says:

thirty years If falling off is to he re-
corded in few textile lines, great gains are
noticeable in other directions. notably in ma
chinery. The value OF the imports rose from
81. l59 060 900 in 1897 to 81 2e6 900 in lsas:
that of the exports from s9Gl 541, 600 TO 9G2 $50
600.
The real significance of these figures is found
IN the fact that a large part OF the imports
consists OF raw materials. which are made into
ali kinds of manufactured articles for export as
well as tor home consumption The import Of
raw materials for textiles went nm while The inn,
ports OF coal and iron fell off. Both facts fur
nish proof that home industries have been very
active. and that the German coal and iron miners
can supply almost all that is needed in these
tSo lines. OF the s53 2l2 900 increase in exports
