Standard Oil Company Wins.

Attorney General Ellis of Ohio was
defeated in his fight against the oil
trust in a decision handed down by
Judge Dillon in the common pleas
court. The Manhattan Oil company,
which is understood to be a part of
the Standard Oil company, was sued
by the attorney general for fines
amounting to $27O,O00, this method
being taken instead of trying to Dust
the company from the state. The
state claimed the above amount un'
der the Willis law. The corporation
admitted that it had not paid the tax
but claimed it was exempt. Inc case
came up for settlement on motion for
judgment and was decided against the
attorney general.

III.-THE CHASE IN THE SNOW.
l have endeavored to give the facts of

there is a single detail that is not per-

But enough. l do not forget.
have already told you of the murder
of Prof. Won Stockmar by his rival, Prof.
Marnac of Heidelberg. and of the dis
covery of the crime by my cousin, Sir
Henry Graden, the well-known scientist
and explorer, who was then my guest at
that university. l have described the
steps that led to our following the muir
derer to Lemsdorf, in German Poland,
and the means by which he compassed
the death of the unfortunate Mechersky.
l have moreover, laid before you the evil
dence that led my cousin to believe that
Marnac was suffering from delusions,
and that his extraordinary crimes were
in revenge for certain harsh criticisms
of book on which he had spent many
years Of labor. In my last statement
traced the pursuit down to the station
of Lemsdor1, where the murderer, flying
from the scene of his revenge upon the
Russian professor, had been turned back
from the railway by Mossel, the heuten-
ant of the Heidelberg police, who had
followed us to render assistance. Mossel,
indeed, had waited by Marnacs luggage
for six hours, but the man himself had
failed to appear.
The winters sun, chilled to a dusky
ball, was dipping behind the snow-clad
ridges to the eastward when We scram-
bled back into the sleigh. As our tired
horses stumbled through the outskirts of
the struggling wooden town, the shadows

The station was empty at the moment

advanced at once upon him. When we
were a dozen feet away, he started up
and faced us.

Graden skipped up to him and shook
him warmly by the hand.
Capital, Mossel, capital! And you
had the net any luck?"
1.-THE net was sitting upon the rats

The net has been here for five hours, and
