Twenty-fou2 railway companies, de-

companies to provide more equitable
freight rates to Wilmington from the
west in competition with Norfolk,
Richmond and other Virginia points,
today fled answer in the United States
district court here to the bill of COM
plant, which charges the railroad
companies with utter disregard Of the
commissions order.
The respondents. deny that the order
now remains in full force and effect;
because, they assert, that it is illegal
and void. They pray to be dismissed.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway

forth in a demurrer among other things

cient in law and that the rates OF the

duke DOES NOT MEET
AMERICAN DUCHESS.
Neither Husband Nor Servant
Welcome The Lady Home.

A London cable to the World says ::
Circumstances which attended the
homecoming of Consuelo, Duchess Of
Marlborough, have given rise to re-
newal OF comment on the relations to
be observed this season between the
Duke of Marlborough and his Ameri
can wife.
Unwelcomed was the return of the
Duchess yesterday. The Duke did not
meet her at Euston Station. No carri-
age was in waiting, nor was there a
servant to do her bidding. Her isola-
tion from anything that could suggest
family ties could not have been more
complete. One less brave than the
lonely little traveller might not have
regarded the situation with the same
apparent equanimity.
The Duke did not see her off when
she sailed for America. So her depar-
ture was as unmarked by his presence
as was her return, after nearly two
months absence. Yet Blenheim is
within ninety minutes run of London.
In the absence Of Duke, carriage or
servant, the Duchess made her way in
to lonely compartment of the train
for Woodstock. When she arrived
there the failure of the Duke to appear
continued to be the most conspicuous
circumstance Of her homecoming.
Leaving England ungreeted and re-
turning unwelcomed may have been an
unfortunate coincidence, but people
will draw their own conclusions from
such apparent GOODNESS.
A report is current tonight that the
Duke was in London Thursday and
proposed meeting the Duchess, but
the train on which she arrived was
earlier than he had expected. He re-
mained in London. The Duchess en-
tered Blenheim unaccompanied by him
The Duke and the Duchess have sell
dom appeared together this season ex-
cepting on public occasions, and this
fact has occasioned considerable
notice.
The Duke had erected in the gardens
at Blenheim a commodious tent, and
spent much of his time there. The
Duchess lived, as usual, in the palace.
The Duke slept every night in his tent,
and it was said that he had experienced
SO much benefit from living under can
vas during his few months campaign
in South Africa that he had adopted
the same manner of living at Blenheim.
It will be only a short time now be
fore the Duke will start on his tour
of India. The Duchess does not ac-
company him.
The Duke will attend, next March,
the great Durham as guest of Vice
roy Curzon. While the Duke is away
the Duchess proposes to organize a
hunt during the winter, and her guests
will be entertained at Melton and
Blenheim.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 30.-This
city faces the distressing fact that to-
morrow the supply of natural gas for
fuel and heating purposes will be en-
tirely cut off. For weeks past, or ever
since the announcement came that the
gas would be shut off, thousands OF
workmen have been engaged in re-
modelling houses and constructing new
chimneys designed for coal or wood
fires. Despite the unusual activity,
however, it has been found impossible
to build more than third OF the
chimneys necessary, so that hundreds
of property holders are figuring on
withstanding the rigors of winter as
best they can. It is estimated that
not less than 10000 freplaces have
been built or will be built before winter
sets in.

ONE BABY TOO MUCH.
An infant Left On Clarendon
Farmers Doorstep.

Mr.. J. N. Riggs came to town early
Tuesday morning and reported a cir
cumstance of great interest. The facts
of that portion which cam be given to
the public at this time are as follows
About two O'Clock Tuesday night they
were awakened by a muffied cry Of
something on his front piazza. Athrst
they thought it was that Of some pet
kittens. An investigation proved it to
be a new born infant wrapped up
securely in basket and along with it
1925. Mrs. Riggs busted herself IN
caring for it pending a decision as to
what to do with it. He went to his
neighbor, Nh. j. G. Barrett and they
started out at three o'clock to see if
they could trace the source. 1t had
rained a hard shower during the early
part of the night and they had no diff
Guilty in tracing the buggy, which was
drawn by a mule. The parties had
stopped the buggy a few hundred
Yards down the road towards Manning
as shown by the tracks where they
turned the buggy in the road, and had
carried the basket on foot to the house.
The buggy had come down the Raccon
road to where it intersected with the
Manning road, but on its return, it
came to Manning, thence through the
portion known as Weinberg town,
thence by Mr.. Lloyds, and out into the
road near Mrs. Creecy's, thence on up
said road. The buggy was tracked to
a certain house in the direction of
Sumter county, and there buggy and
mule were found. Mr.. Riggs is trying
to see what can be done from a legal
standpoint to fix the responsibility
upon the proper parties, and force
them to take in charge the infant
which they have so cruelty -endeavored
to thrust upon the charity of others

THE GREAT TOBACCO T2UST.
Details of Way the British and
American Companies Have
Consolidated With the
Duke at the Head.

New York, Oct. 2.-An authorized
statement regarding the agreement be-
tween the American and British COM
panies was made today by Thomsa +.
RYAN, who returned on Tuesday from
London. Mr.. Ryan said that the state
ments made in several papers on the
morning after his arrival, purporting
to quote his Interpretation Of the agree
ment in London, were inaccurate and
in some instances misleading. AS to
the conditions under which the new
agreement was formed he said today:
"'The agreement made between the
representatives of the Imperial Tobacco
company of England on the one hand
and the Consolidated Tobacco company
on the other was mutual in its char
acter and entirely satisfactory to both
sides. It was accomplished by friend
" conference after full consideration
of the interests Of all parties affected:
The agreement has an international
character which has not belonged, l
think, to any previous trade arrange
naent. It means the reunion Of the
representatives of an important busi-
ness in Great Britain and America for
the purpose of seeking trade hand IN
hand throughout the world.
my visit to London grew out OF an
invitation extended to me in July last
by the directors OF the British company
after several of the directors had visit
ed the United States and while there
had conferred with Mr.. Duke, president
of the Consolidated Tobacco company
and myself respecting the respective
interests of the companies we repre-
sented. The agreement made to trans
fer to the Imperial Tobacco company
the business of the Consolidated To-
bacco company in England was made
for full and satisfactory consideration.
The American company becomes a
large shareholder in the English COM
pany, with three representatives on
it's board of directors, one of whom is
Mr.. Duke.
'sThe Consolidated Tobacco company
will pursue it's business in the Ameri-
can field, including not only the Unit
ed States, but Cuba Puerto Rico, the
Hawaiian islands and the Philippines
without competition from the English
company. The Imperial company will
not encounter the competition of the
American company n the business of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, including Scotland and Wales.
In the new British-American company
the British company has onethird
Of the stock and the American COM
pany has two-thirds. The board of
directors consists of six representatives
of the British company and II of the
American, with Mr.. Duke as its pres
ident, who remains abroad to perfect
the organization. This British-Ameri-
can company will take over the en-
tire business of the Imperial company
,of the Consolidated company in all
foreign countries and in the colonies
of Great Britain, including India,
Canada and Great Britain. The agree
ment made is satisfactory to both sides
and equitable to allinterests represent
