my Dear Sirs-Last spring NUM-
Der Of sugar planters met and dis
cussed the advisability OF CONSOLE
dating into one company some OF the
most desirable sugar properties OF the
state. AS an important result of such
a consolid alton it IS intended that the
company should construct and operate
sugar refinery in New Orleans
which would have 10 the beginning a
daily capacity of 5000 barrels, and
which would be planned with a view
of largely increasing its capacity,
should such increase be decided On in
the future.
"Apart from the very considerable
profits which would be derived from
the refinery, the advantages and econ
omies which this project would pre-
sent in the management of our planta.
tons are many and obvious. The
purchase of all kinds OF supplies
would be on such scale as to be al
ways bought at the lowest possible
price. The best features at each place
would be studied and adopted in all.
In years OF short crops it would not
be necessary to start all the houses,
but just a sufficient number to grind
the cane on hand. The great risk of
loss that every sugar. planter runs Of
having his sugarhouse burn shortly
before or at the beginning Of grinding,
and which cannot be covered by in
surance, would not exist when there
are number OF houses in one COM
pany.5
sit is not intended in this brief CIR
cular to attempt to present the many
good reasons why We should come to-
gether, as they are we'll known. With
the admission Of Cuban sugar into
this country free, which is only too
probable within a very few years, it is
necessary for US as body to work
under the best possible conditions.
The advantages of commercial union
are beyond question accepted and
recognized by the successful men OF
the country, and We should avail our
selves OF them.
i've inclose you plan we propose
to follow in the formation OF the COM
pany, and would like to know from
you, as soon as you have given this
important matter sufficient consldera-
ton, whether you will signify your
conditional approval to the project
and allow an appraisal of your prop
erty to be made, it being we'll under
stood that this approval does not
bind you to go into the consolidation

thing of sensation was caused to-day

score of personsStestified TO buying
beer in two-oase lots, in alleged COM
pliance with the law, from George B.
Ingersoll, and leaving the supply in
his ice box to be drunk whenever the
buyer became thirsty. Justice Browne
figured that 1t would take refriger-
ator as big as IngersolPs whole house,
when, as matter OF fact, the ice box
named was only one-eighth as large as
required,
Ingersoil is agent here fer James

Prime Oysters Are in Demand.

Prime oysters are in demand, good
stock. The price does not make much
difference. The dealers will pay al.
most any price for them. Unfortunate
ly there are not any great quantities
of good prime oysters in the Maurice
River. There are plenty of oysters in
the cove. The beds are prolific with
them. They are healthy but for some
reason this season the oysters did not
grow very much. There are plenty Of
culin oysters, but the price has fallen
somewhat on this line. A good many
of the boats have been laup for the
season, and the present winter will
not be nearly as cold as that of year
ago.
However the planters expect that
the oysters on the beds will live we'll
until next season and will probably
fatten up as they should, and year
hence the markets will have a great
demand for Maurice River Coves.

Minotola Mystery May be Solved

mAhoeOAd MySttEy may D0 SOiV6Q.
Vineland, N. j 4, Dec. "a Several
runners are current in Minotola in ex-
phantom of the murder of John Bug
lilo, who was fonnd in the woods with
his throat cut and the shooting of
Joseph Labriola. Prosecutor Abbott
spent Sunday and to-day running out
the numerous stories. Joseph Labriola
who was found after the murder with
bullet in one thigh and another in
his arm, was closely questioned on
the rumor that he was jealous OF
Buglio. Labriola proved by a dozen
witnesses that he played in the town
orchestra from s in the evening until
after the murder
Prosecutor Abbott took up another
theory in which "a woman figures
prominently, and when he left it is
said he intimated that an arrest would
be made in a day or two. The most
plausible clue the authorities have is
that a certain man was jealous of both
Buglio and Labriola in certain social
circles among the Italians and that he
murdered the one and tried to kill
the other. A stranger in light over
coat, seen in the town Saturday night
is being sought for. He was last seen
going Southwark.
