EIGHTEEN PEOPLE DROWN.
Tornado Strikes Steamer on a Nort,
Carolina River.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 18.-A tornado
struck the passenger steamer Olive,
which plies between Franklin, Va.
and Edenton, N. c., during the night
and sent her to the bottom of the
Chowan river, between Mount Pleas
ant and divers wharf.
Seventeen people are known to have
been drowned and others who we're
rescued are in a serious condition.
The whirlwind when it struck the
Olive caused her to go over on her
beams end and when she righted it
was only to sink on account of the
water she had taken. A majority of
the passengers and crew were below
at the time and had no opportunity
to reach the pilot house of the vessel
This point was the only portion left
above water and in it standing waist
deep from the time Of the accident
until o'clock in the morning, Cap
tain H. Witty and five others were
saved.
The Olive was a small single screw
steamer owned by J. A. Pretliw, of
Franklin, Va, and has been plying be-
tween North Caroalina and Virginia
for several years. She left Franklin
Monday evening for Edenton and had
almost reached her destination when
the cyclone struck her.

NINE CHILDREN KILLED.
Trolley Car Struck by Train at New
ark, N. J.

Trolley Car Struck by Train at New
ark, N. J.
Newark, N. j., Feb. 20.-Running at
almost full speed train on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road crashed into trolley car loaded
with pupils On their way to the high
school.
Nine children were killed. At least
thirty were injured, five so badly
that it is feared they will die.
The accident occurred at the Clifton
avenue crossing, long known as a
dangerous spot.
The trolley car was one of the spe-
cial vehicles which the North Jersey
Street Railway company runs between
and 9 o'clock five mornings in the
week for the special accommodation
of high school pupils. It was crowd
ed with young men and women from
all parts of the city, many of whom
had transferred from other lines.
The train which caused the accident
was the Delaware and Passaic ex-
press. There is some question as to
whether both crossing gates were
down when the car and train ap-
preached the crossing at the same
time.
The motorman saw the train and put
on the brakes with all his force. The
car, however. slid upon the icy rails
until the front platform projected
over the tracks. A moment later the
crash came. The pilot of the engine
struck the front platform and turned
it over. The pupils, by the force of the
collisions were precipitated under the
wheels Of the engine. To some death
came Immediately, others fingered a
moment in fearful agony and then ex,

HELD TO BE A COMBINE.
Injunction Granted Against So-caIIed
Beef Trust.

Beef Trust.
Chicago, Feb. 19.-The demurrer Of
the packers in the so-called "beef
trust" case was overruled by Judge
Grosscup in the United States circuit
court and motion granted for a
temporary injunction.
There can be no doubt" said Judge
Grosscup. that the agreement Of
the defendants to refrain from bidding
against each other in the purchase of
cattle is combination in restraint of
trade; so also their agreement to bid
up prices to stimulate shipment, in
tending to cease from bidding when
the shipments have arrived. The
same result follows when we turn to
the combination of defendants to fix
prices upon, and restrict the quantities
OF, meat shipped to their agents or
their customers. Such agreement can
be nothing less than restriction upon
competition, and, therefore, combina-
ton in restraint of trade; and thus
viewed, the petition, as an entirety,
makes out case under the Sherman
act.
1T may be true that the way of en-
forcing any DEGREES under this petit
ton is beset with difficulties and that
a literal enforcement may result in
vexatious interference with defend
fore me I am not at liberty to stop
before such considerations. The Sher-
man act, as interpreted by the SUI
preme court, lis the law of the land,
and to the law as it stands both court
and people must yield obedience.

motion for preliminary injunction

Governor Of New Hampshire Honors
Requisition Papers.

Concord, N. H.. Feb. 20.-Requisi-
ton papers in the case of former
Mayor Ames Of Minneapolis were hon
oced by Governor Batchelder after
hearing. It is considered doubtful if
the physical condition of DR.. Ames
will admit of an attempt to take him
to Minneapolis. He is at the home of
his sister at Hancock.
By agreement of counsel in the case
the papers will not be serviceable I'M
til March s. One Of Mr.. Ames lawyers
stated that his client would return to
Minneapolis without extradition if his
health would permit.
Mr.. Dreger, the Minnesota sheriff;
said that he was satisfied that Ames
was very sick man and that he had
determined to return to Minneapolis
and face the charges against him as
soon as his health would permit.
