The business had at that time been

firm. when the secretary saw them,
had just heard OF Scranton in q casual
sort of way, but had absolutely no
idea Of coming hero to locate. The
out, however, and he succeeded in get
ting them to visit this city.
They came on Labor Day and We're
shown the many natural advantages
which Scranton holds forth for an in
dustry of their kind. They seemed to
he favorably impressed and returned
home. Not hearing from them for
several weeks, the secretary wrote. In
uuiring whether they had given Scran-
ton up. They replied that they could
not make any definite reply until this
end of the big coal strike, and after
the presidential election.
Bright and early on Nov. Z, when
the news of President McKinley's re-
election had been flashed throughout
the country, the secretary wrote them,
asking them to make n final answer.
A few days afterwards both membH rs
of the firm again came to this city
and inspected several sites in various
parts of the city. They finally decided
upon the one in West Scranton and
made formal proposition to the
Iackawanna Iron and Coal company.

Of his properties. in front Of which the
street was cut down.
When the plaintiffs testimony was
all in, the defense moved for a non-suit
on the ground that the borough had
not proceeded regularly In passing or
carrying out the provisions of the ordi-
nance. One of the alleged most fatal
defects was that the work was begun
the fifty-ninth day after the passage
of the ordinance which specifically
states that the property holder shall
have sixty days In which to do the
work himself.
1t was admitted on the plaintiffs side
that the ordinance was passed pur-
Dosely to compel the Stockers to lay
the sidewalk in question. The old side
walk ordinance was found to be In
operative. so the council passed new
and stringent one that would, they
thought, be effective. So stringent was
II. that protests came from all sides
against its passage, but these were
silenced with an aside assurance that
any one who wasn't able to pay for the
sidewalk wouldn't be pushed"
Judge Kelly was disposed, seemingly.
to favor the motion for a non-suit, but
put the matter over till Friday to look
| over the cases cited by the attorneys
on the one side and the other.
Borough Solicitor Henry W. Mulhol-
land and A. j. Colborn represented the
plaintiffs side. The defense was looked

TRUSTS AND PRICES.

We are sometimes told that there
are no trusts; that there are good
trusts and bad trusts; and that if
there are trusts, they cheaper prices
and are necessary adjuncts of this
progressive age. Whatever else may
be said about the trusts one thing is
true: they have increased the cost of
living. The New York World quotes
from Dun's Review for January 18th,
1900, the following increase of prices
in some of the lines controlled by the
trusts:
1.-The Nail trust increased the price of
nails from $1.10 on January f. 1899, to
$3.50 on January 8, 1900. The same trust
increased the price of wire nails from
S135 to 1920 during the same period.
1.-The Structural Iron Company increased
the price of structural angles from 81. Is on
January 4, 1899, to $2.25 on January 8,
1900
'"Fhe Coal Trust increased the price of
anthracite coal from $375 on January 4,
1885,, to 1920 on January 8, 1900.
''The Glass Trust increased the price of
glass from $2.57 on January 4, 1899, to
$3.50 on January g. 1900.
'The Rubber Trust increased the price
of rubber from "a cents on January a,
1899, to $1.45 on January 8, 1900.
1.-THE prices of boots and shoes, con-
trolled by the Leather Trust, show an
increase during the year 1899 on mems
grain shoes from 81 cents to $1.12 on
Creedmore splits from 95 cents to $1.1O,
and like increase on all grades of boots
and shoes.
1.-The prices of cotton goods increased
so per cent. White sheeting on January
II sold at $3.50 and on December 20 at
$23."

NEW YORK IS FULL OF THEM.

The New York Commercial asks the
News and Observer to define a trust
and to name one. That's easy. A
trust is a combination that DESTROYS
or seeks to destroy competition by
controlling product, for example, the
oil trust, the tobacco trust, the steel
trust, the sugar trust, the ice trust,
the starch trust, the match trust and
kindred others. The Commercial NAV
say that neither of these combinations
is technically trust. If Mckinley
would appoint an Attorney General to
enforce the Sherman antitrust law, he
would pretty soon convict either one
of the trusts named above. A jury
would pretty soon determine that the
tobacco trust, which robs farmers and
retailers alike, is trust in the mean
ing of the law.
The truth is that New York is so
full of trusts, that the Commercials
editor could not walk block without
stumbling over them. One thing is
certain:> 1t does not print an issue of
its paper without paying tribute to
the paper trust. Isn't the paper COM
bine a trust" or is it simply some
thing else?
