GAMERS WILL
NOT FOR N TRUST

Local commission merchants,
particularly those engaged in the
canned goods trade, were sur.
prised yesterday BY the announce.
ment that the proposed tomato.
packing combine, Which it was ex.
pccted would include the majority
OF the tomato packers oil Maryland,
Delaware and New Jersey, had
practically fallen through.
The combine was incorporated
under the name OF the American
Packing Company with a capitall-
zation OF $50. 900, 900. Itwas stated
that the principal obstacle 10 the
success OF the scheme has been the
failure to get interests of sufficient
weight 10 finance the deal. Since
the options OF the new combine do
not expire until April |, 1902, great
surprise was evinced among brok-
erage interests at the announce
ment that the scheme had been
abandoned.
From a reliable source this
statement was obtained: 1--WE were
informed yesterday by represent
atlye Of the firm that claimed to be
the local selling agents OF the pro.
posed packers trust. that the
scheme has failed 10 ma,erialize.
This inform alton we consider thor
oushly reliable. as the firm from
which it cmanatcs was among the
prime movers in the scheme. From
present indications there will not
be Su!licie nj spot tomatoes 10 Last
later than Jure !, the largest
holders in this vicinity having
stated that their stock was nearly
exhausted. We expect TO see stand
ard Delaware and Maryland goods
sell at Sl.50 dozen long before
new goods are ready Tor delivery.
The market on future standard
Delaware and MARYLAND thirds is
firm at 81. 10 IS cents, with ma
jority OF packers refusing to enter
tain any business under last-uamed
price.
1--WE think the dissolution Of the
so:alled packers trust will have
the tendency 10 advance prices,
tor the reason that it was antici-
pated that the combine, if success
iul. would pame a lower price or
futures than arg yet made, and
now that it is thing OF the past.
We believe that 1t will have a ten
dcncy 10 make packers and growers
more Independent than ever, hav-
ing oothiug 10 dread in the way OF
lower range OF prices at the
hands Of the trust

WHERE is
LUCAS?

Dover, DEL, March lO.-Dr. John
G. Sharpe, proprietor Of the Hotel
Richardson. has begun personal in
vestigation in Philadelphia, German
town and Camden to learn something
of the whereabouts of his head bar
keeper, Henry Luclls, who disappear
ed from the hotel last Saturday night
and from whom nothing has since
been heard.
DR.. Sharp is confident that the bar
keeper, who took large roll of money
with him, representing the Saturday
night and weekly receipts of the SAM
pie room and bar, did not leave with
the intention of robbng lin. In
Lucas room he left clothing, brio Il
brac and trinkets, worth possibly
more than the cash represented, in
Guiding all his Sunday laundry and
clothing. which had been laid out to
be worn on the following day. 1t had
long been his custom to defer settle
ment with DR.. Sharpe, even on his
busiest nights, until the following
morning, and when the proprietor
would hear Lucas close up his depart
ment and click his bedroom door for
the night. DR.. Sharpe knew that re-
ceipts and man would turn up all
right in the morning.
The hotel attaches are confident
that Lucas has met with foul play. DR..
Sharpe sent out many inquiries and
finally he has despatched Il special
messenger to hunt for some trace of
the man.
The relations between the hotel
people and Lucas were of the most
cordial, the man seemed fond of his
position, and had he been bent upon
an Illegal act would certainty have
packed up some Of the yaluablcs and
best clothing which he left Intact in
his room. 1t is believed that the man
pulled out one Of his rolls Of money
in Philadelphia, and was promptly
marked as Il victim.

The Washers are on the run. No

Neyin G. Clowney is u special officer
and he will not permit it. Black
looks and mutterlngs low may consti-
tute the return of the girls aud their
fellows, but the special pays no atten-
tion to them. Last night half q
dozen young men gathered there and
used language not heard in Sunday
School or well regulated families. IL
was immoral, immodest, and impure.
Clowney has recently recovered
from severe attack of pneumonia and
is weak Had it not been for that
condition of affairs, he would have
played a hand with the young men.
He succeeded in arresling Harry
Donahoe and in the City Court this
morning he was charged with being
drunk and actingin disorderly man
ner. The testimony was that shortly
before 10 O'Clock last night, Donahoe
was one of the party that created the
disorder,
Frank w. Pierson testified that he
beard the use Of the bad language.
Ladies were, in the corridor at the
time, and the obscure language was
loud and could be heard from one
end to the other of the corridor.
The inc was $40 and costs.

building are determined tc break up
disorder in the neighhorllood so That

ly walked arounl and fired two moro
shots, one Of the bullets striking the

almost instant death.
Addie Ballard adhered 10 the story
she tod before the Coronor's Jury.
She said that when West fired the
first shot and the officer fell to the

discussed that it had become
fast in a quagmire or bed of

best to get out Of the trouble.
but the harder it pulled the
deeper the wheels of the vehicle
sank, until at last the mud
came up to the hubs. The
horse itself sank equally deep
into the mirc. The occupants
of the carriage did not know
how soon the whole outfit would
disappear from view.
As the carriage continued to
sink, the young women got
greatly alarmed and their
screams brought several men
who were in the neiyhborlood,
to the scene. After some diff
