Chicago, Feb. 21.-A special to the

1lmes-i.,IaIu from tIuc'nndtl says:
Judge Rufus Is. Smith, of the su-
perior court, has rendered a decision
that is regarded as important in its
bearing on trusts. Elias Block d
Sons, Kentucky distillers, shut up
their mandatory under a contract
with the Whisky trust, by which the
latter agreed TO furnish Block G. Sons
all their goods and to pay them $1,000
a month in addition. The trust be-
came in default for $4,000 under this
contract and suit was brought to re-
cover. The Whisky trust filed de-
murrer, alleging that the contract was
illegel.
The demurrer is overruled, the court
holding that when contract, APP
parently illegal, is only an incident to
large contract, which is legal, then
the first contract will stand as a cir
cumStance.
