SUGAR TRUST ON THE RACK

navemyer and Other Officials Again Questioned Concerning the Combine. Insinuation that Dividends Are Made by Operations in Wall Street Angrily Repelled Hooks Csnnot fie Produced. New Yonic, April 4. Tho Sugar Trust committee of the State Senate met again to-day, here. Theodore Havemyer took the stand and testified that a charter for tho company was first obtained in Connecticut, but afterwards it was resolved to go to New Jersey and do business. The American Sugar Refining Company had nothing to do with California refineries. There was nothing in the report that the refineries were going to combine and raise prices. The cost of refining here was greater than in any other country. A letter was handed the witness, and he was asked to read it and tell what he thought of it. The letter was dated March 24, and was addressed to the chairman of the Sugar Trust investigation committee. It stated that last week an agreement was entered into, to go into oilect April 1, between the Sugar Trust and all other American refineries and the principal wholesale grocers of the United States, that the American refiners are to allow or pay the grocers one-quarter of one cent per pound, together with 1 per cent discount, if tho bills for sugar are paid within one week from date of sale, in return the grocers pledged themselves to boycott, or not to purchase any foreign refined sugar abroad or at home. Mr. Havemyer said that the whole thing was a lie. John E. Searles, the treasurer of the old trust, next took the tand. The witness explained his duties. He had been in the sugar business twenty-five years, and had been treasurer of almost all tbe constituent companies. When he became treasurer of the American Kenning Company he gave no bonds. Treasurer Searles was asked why the St. Louis Sugar-refining Company was shut down, and explained it by saying that the refinery in that city was used to refine Louisiana sugar, and that when it entered the American company it vas closed and the facilities of the refineries in Louisiana increased. The refinery iu St. Louis was put in perfect running order ready to open at twenty-fonr hours' notioe in ease of accident to tbe Louisiana houses. The margin between raw and refined sngar had been smaller since the formation of the trust. He was of the opinion that if the manufacture of sugar in this country was under one management it could be supplied to tbe public at cheaper rates and with more profit to the refiner than he could obtain through single operations. Mr. Searles then explained why a charter was taken out in Connecticut and why tbe company was not formed then. The charter, he said, would have allowed the refiners to carry on tbe same business that had been declared illegal in this State, and by advice of counsel the plan was abandoned. IIARSIt WORDS AND INSINUATIONS. A long discussion ensued between the witness and Senator Irwin on one hand 1 and Messrs. Havemyer, Boot, Harris and Vedder on the other, as to the production of the corporation books, 'which has hitherto caused so much argument. Mr. Coot offered to make an arrangement whereby one or more oi the committee could be afforded a private examination of tbe books about certain points to be settled on in advance, and remarked that he did not sea why the committee should wish to examine the books, anyhow. Mr. Irwin flared up and said he would enlighten the counsel. "Let me tell yon what many well-informed people say about this matter' he said to Mr. Koot. "It is said that your dividends are made by operations in Wall street." Here Mr. II. O. Havemyer answered sharply: "Well, you may tell the publio that all such talk is false; utter rot," Senator Irwin If I had proof of all I have heard, yon all ought to bo in State prison, if the charges are true. Mr. T. A. Havemyer then grew angry, and said he objected to being called a fraud by the chairman, who, he said, was acting as judge, before the case was tried. Some lively speeches passed quickly, and then Senator Irwin intimated that they ought to produce their books to disprove all accusations against them. Finally Mr. Searles. under oath, testified that no money paid into the treasury of the trust had been the product of Wall-street operations, and that no such operations had ever been indnlged in by the trust. Mr. Searles stated that to his knowledge there was no arrangement for a division of the country between Claus Spreckles and the American Sugar-refining Company. Mr. Havemyer. he said, had made a sort of an arrangement of a personal nature with Spreckles that did not affect the company. H. O. Havemyer was next called under a subpoena requiring him to produce the books of the constituent companies. Mr. Harris asked if he would produce tbe books, and he answered that he was unable to. Even tho books of tho Havemyer & Elder Company he could not produce, as they were not under his control nor in his possession. Tho witness said they were removed to New Jersey under his direction, and although he was the president of the American Sugar Henneries Company, he could not have them brought over here, as they were the property of the corporation. The next witness was Edward Adams, an expert accountant, and the American representative of Lloyd. Griffith & Co.. of London. He made an examination for the purpose of learning the standing of tho Sugar Trust at the end of August. 1800. He only saw tho trial balance sheets of the various corporation companies, and after testing them made his report. He did not see any books. The committee then adjourned until Monday. ARRESTED FOR MURDER. v Strange Story Related by a Mysterious Person Concerning a Fulton County Crime. Special to tbe Indlanapolla Journal. Rochester, lnd., April 4. Last evening James Oustofl was arrested for tha murder of Michael Overmyer on the evening of March 11. Michael Overmyer was a quiet, peaceable and upright man, who, all his life, had lived in Fulton county. He was between thirty-five and forty years of age, and had been married to his second wife but live weeks. He had concluded to move to Huntington, lnd., and all his goods were at the depot. On the fatal night he started to go to the home Elijah Miller, who lives just at the edge of town. When near tho west end of Pearl street he was shot through the heart, and when found was lying on his face in the mud, and his pocket-book, containing &XX), was missing, v Search was made, at the time, tor the murderer, but to no avail. William II. Overmyer, Jof Lmdsey. O., brother of tho murdered man, recalled an incident in which an old German doctor, at Plymouth, lnd.. had informed them where stolen articles were, in a robbery which occurred some years ago. remarking that though he did not believe in it, he would see what tho doctor knew, and paid him a visit in company with one other man. When they entered the house, though the wizard knew them not. he said, "Gentlemen, you are iu trouble. Somo one has been killed and some money stolen." He then, though the news of the murder had not reached him, told them just where the murder had occurred, accurately describing the location and the murdered man. He also gave a description of two other men in the fight, and told them that if they would look on the bank of a little stream a few rods west of the scene of tbe murder they wpuld find the pocket-book: that the money would be gone, but it would contain somo notes written in a heavy hand. The men returned to Rochester, and learned that the pocket-book had been found as the wizard said. Window-Glass Combine. St. Louis, April 4. The war that has been waging between the manufacturers of plate and window glass for the past 5 ear, has reached its end. and it is predicted by a leading St. Louis dealer that the price of glass will advance from 0 to SO per cent,

exclusive of rebates to dealers within tho next few days. The dealer has alreadr received private advices of the coming advance, which ho asserts are positively reliable. For the last year the prices of window and plate-glass reached the lowest mark in years. During the winter just past the price has continued to go down until such low figures have been reached that dealers all over the country have overstocked for no other purpose than that they regard glass a fine investment. After losing money steadily for quite a period, the manufacturers have evidently determined to combine, and all the leading factories in the United States will raise their prioe simultaneously.

GENERAL ALBERT PIKE, Author, Soldier and Head of Southern Scottish Mite Memo us. Lately Deceased. MACQUEAKI HAS QUIT OHIO. The Heretical Divine Says He lias Had Enough of the Episcopal Chnrch in that State. Chicago, April 4. The Rev. Howard MacQueary, of Canton, O., who was tried by the Episcopalians for heresy, and suspended from exercising ministerial functions, explained the status of the case in an interview to-day. "As you know," said he, 'I was tried by a board of live for denying the virgin birth and the physical resurrection of Christ. The board was a majority of only one against me and fixed the penalty at six months1 suspension. After that time I am to he restored upon condition that I will not teach or publish my opinions on the point in question. Bishop Leonard pronounced sentence in accordance with tbe decision of the trial board, but in doing so made a grievous mistake. He increased the penalty by saying that I should not be reinstated unless 1 6hould restrict my opinions. Ho afterwards wrote me he did this unintentionally. Before receiving his letter I resigned simply to show them that I would not retract. When the mistake was corrected I withdrew my resignation. That is how the matter stands at the present time." "Will you comply with the terms of the sentence!'' "That is a question I have not yet determined upon. .As the court which tried me was a dioceasan one, its jurisdiction does not extend out of the State of Ohio. Should 1 comply with their demands I might preach what I liked outside of the State und would be stopped only by another trial and conviction. Sbould I submit, however, 1 shall only stoop to conquer. It will be a recognition of the power of the board but not of their rights. I would recognize their powers only to protest against their supposed right." 'What will yon do in the meantime!" T am going to accept work in any church where it may be offered, irrespective of denomination. If 1 should become satisfactorily settled before the end of the six months, it is a question whether I shall ever re-enter the Episcopal ministry. One thing is certain, I shall not go back to the State of Ohio. I have had enough of that." Mr. MacQueary will go to New York from here and address the Nineteenth Century Club on the 14th. His subject will be "The Religious Problem." He has enough requests to lecture in various parts, of the country to keep him busy for somo months, should he accept them. BLOOMINGTON'S DOUBLE TRAGEDY. Sister and Daughter of the Yictims Tells How the Deed Was Committed. Special to th TnrtiAnapolls Journal. Bloomixgton, lnd., April 4. At the coroner's inquest, Minnie, the eleven-year-old sister of Ward Demareo, who killed his mother and himself, yesterday, said that she was sitting in tho room, reading a hook, when her attention was drawn to her mother's bed in time to see her brother plunge his father's razor into her mother's neck. Her mother, in bed, low of fever, was partly raised up and waved her hand to Minnie, which tho little girl understood to mean escape. She fled out of a back door and walked aronnd in the back yard, crying and waiting for her sister Anna to come from school. Almost fifteen minutes afterward she peeped in at the window and saw her brother cut his throat, from ear to ear, while in a kneeling pasition. Anna came soon afterward, and gave the alarm.

The sepulcber will be built large enough to receive the remains of the General, his wife aud two children that now rest beside him in Calvary. . rasscnger Train Wrecked. Wilkesbarre, Pa,, April 4.

A REAL LIFE DRAMA. The Boy Was To d to Wait for an Answer and What Came of It San Francisco Examiner. Every oue has admired the supurb residence, No. 9M Faraione street it belongs or rather didto Parnell McCorken. the canitalict. About, three mouths ago he resolved to take hw family on a European tonr. When abont to leare his office for the train he sent a messenger boy ont to his residence with a note, which he'thought might possibly reach his wife before she left the house. The boy was instructed to wait for an answer bear that in mind "wait for an answer." It is supposed that tbe said boy reached his destination some time early iu the following week. At all events, as he did not return. McCorken forcot the circumstance and proceeded Last with his family. McCorken was not a superstitious man, but he had hardly been insulated in his berth by the Pullman porter before he was tilled with a gloomy presentment of eviL In vain he endeavored to shake off tho foreboding of disaster that depressed him. It followed him to London. Paris, Switzerland, every where. - Worn to a shadow, he finally turned his face homeward. As he stepped from the ferry on his arrival here he sprang into a carriage and was rapidly driven to his dwelling, which he approached with a feeling of inexplicable terror. As he ascended his steps he beheld calmly slumbering before the door a messenger boy McCorkeu's note of three months back sill protruding frcm his pocket He had been provided with a couple of blankets by the company, which also furnished him with three coffee-and-doughnut rations per diem.

We All Eat Too Mncti. New York Bun. "Nearly everybody eats far more than is necessary," said the doctor. "Among my patients those who eat the least get over their troubles tho quickest, while tboso who eat the heaviest are ill the of tenest My experience shows that half the ailments of life are brought about by overeating or drinking. I myself take a light breakfast, perhaps eg$s with to&st or lish with potatoes, or a bit of cold chicken, or something of the kind, and a enp of coffee. At noon I take milk, with a few crackers, or else some California fruits. At 6 I have a hearty, but not heavy dinner, with soup, fish, meat vegetables, bread and a few glasses of light wine. I do not eat over a pound and a half of solid food a day, though I am' more robust than most men, and am never troubled with any of tbe hundred complaints that are the result of overeating. I advise you to eat lightly, be careful of what you eat, and take your time in eating. This looks like commonplace advice, but my fee for it without any pills, is $10." The Road Home Ia Straight. Philadelphia North American. No man finding it impossible to stand with us, and against tbe world, is under any stress to continue a citizen. Quite the reverse, indeed.

Strange Sight Wltneaaed by sv Trareler It Kansas Executing a Sentence. Kansas City Btar. 1 never would have believed stories told about crow justice bad 1 not attended their "court" One beautiful day in December I was riding on tbe publio road, two mi lea north of llamlin. Kan. 1 bad noticed great Hooks of crows Hying abont me. and when nearing a cotton wood grove, in making a turn to the right I saw hundreds of them, perched in the trees in solid lines to the nL of tbe rows. I bad read somewhere that crows wero well-governed birds, and when 1 saw this fine-looking body I judged that it sat tbere to give trial to an otlender of somo sort, I stopped my horse, half fearing tbe crafty birds would liy adiourn court or continue the case. To my delight no attention was paid to me it takes a man with a gun to disturb these mocking, impudent black-legs. 1 as just in time. to hear and see all tbat was done. From a tree at tbe head of a row, whero ten crows sat, there came such loud and rapid cawing as 1 never heard before from so few throats, and every now and then all tbe flock joined in making the noise, and the chorus thus famished was all that could have been asked if noise was desired. After two or throe minutes of this racket a silent rest was taken, which was broken by a single crow, wbo made a little talk in tho crow dialect followed quickly by others. Things became more dignified and my in terest in tbe proceedings was so intensetbat when a fine, fat bird submitted a few remarks and was applauded by general cawing from every bird present I could scarcely keep from clapping my hands. Suddenly twelve crows Hew down tho lines twice and back, and all was still 89 they did so. 1 was amused and startled. This might be a jury of crows on parade. And I believe it was. After two or three crows bad again SDoken. tbe twelve lievr down tbe lines once more; but this timo there wure fierce caws from every crow in answer to caws from tho twelve. My fancy explained: The jury was seeking its verdict in publio opinion, and tbe excited crows, like revolutionary mobs, demanded blood. Rack to their perches for the last, time flew the crows, and again a silence' fell, not unlike the abrupt hush of courtroom whispers as the prisoner stps forward to learn the worst Rut I could distinguish no criminaL As I looked for tho poor fellow tbere was a great an cry caw from every crow, and all llew to the center of tbe line, where, as 1 live, they tore three of their unsuspecting kind in shreds, leaving only a few feathers to lioat upward and out of sight as they separated and noise lessly flew away, seemingly satisfied wixb! what they had done. A dam across the Iowa river at Corals ville, Ia., gave way yesterday, flooding tbo valley and causing much damage. "WIIAT AN ASS All I!"
