Gigantic Swindle in Refined Sugar. CAPITALISTS CLEVERLY DUPED. They Invested Money in a ‘Process Which Existed Only in Imagination, The Deception Kept Up by » “Blind” Manufactory, New York, Jap. 5.—A month ago the stock of the Electric Bugar Refining com- pany was valued in England at £117 a share, Yednesday it had fallen to £80, and the The sud- den fall was occasioned by rumors flashed across the ocean that the company was a fraud. The natureof the rumors was that the secret process of sugar refining on which the company’s fate was based had proved to be wholly mythical, and that the shareholders had been floeced by the holders of the iron secret, The events of the last two days som to confirm strongly the suspicions which have been raised. The secret in question promised, when put into practice, to revolutionize the sugar trades by placing in the hands of the fortunate shareholders a monopoly of the sugar refining industry of the world, By passing through a mystical process fired with electric force raw sugar was to be transformed, at a fabu- lously cheap price, into reflned sugar of un- equaled purity, The samples of its work were pronounced of unexampled purity by the best authorities of both continents. Sugar refiners begin to quail at the prospects the new discovery presented. The refiners liked the sugar, but they wanted to know the process by which it was refined. This, however, Friend refused to reveal on the ground that his invention was not a patentable ane. He offered, however, to explain the process if a company were formed who would buy the secret from him. For some time the inventor's secrecy caused a general suspicion of his claims, but eventu ally the scheme was taken up by prominent speculators, and the Electric Sugar Refining company resulted In the contract with Friend the company provided that he should be furnished with money to purchase the machinery for putting the new method in operation, that on the completion necvssary hidden charm for the tangible considera- of $75,000, and that thereafter he should into turn out the product at a cost of r ton, including all expenses, Frien wife died, bequeathing After his death the latter went to live with her sister in Milan, he, and Howard ined in charge of $40 a work, Mrs sasideration of 8100 * LWO monihs ago, a Friend would his secret ¥ aay SATE, wrote that y terms of t be fulfilled the early days Two weeks ag olidays at Milan t of the company, W for Milan t @ contract { the new year, Howard went west to spend Un the 24th the presi- H.

Friend now refused V He insisted that even if the preparations were not complete she should pass fifty barrels of raw sugar through the process in presence of her own lawyers, but this she declined to aconde to. With his firet suspicions aroused President Cotterill returned to this city, went straight to the factory in Brooklyn, and broke down the barriers that sheltered the mystic secret His suspicions were fully confirmed. The wonderful machinery was of a very ordinary character, the raw sugar supplied lay arcund ustouched, and whiokh bad been quanti- if purchased refined sugar suggested the origin of the product. Meantime the Hal. stends had disappeared from the scene and “Jerry” was in sole possession. Armed with this additional information Mr. Cotterill started Wodnesday night for Milan to demand immediate explanation or cnuse the arrest of the schemers He was expected to reach there yesterday, and the result of his visit is looked forward to by the shareholders with breathless interest AxN Arson, Jan 7.-—Mm Friend exe uted a mortgage to William DD.

This ia the dispatch: Mrs. Friend and the Howards are still in this city. The Detroit Journal correspondent has read the famous contract made between the Friends and the Electric Sugar company. It was drawn July 0, 1584, and executed Nov, 20, 1884. It was the most one sided contract ever seen in Michigan, perhaps To be mada binding it is witnessed, signed and sealed on each of the nineteen type written pages. Ry its terms Howry C. Friend and Olive C. Friend, bis wife, covenant with the Electric Sugar Hefining company, the sald Friends having invented a process for refining differ- ent grades of sugar at prices: far below the market value, making 90 por cent. of pure sugar, with a loss in weight of not over 5 per cent. The entire contract is based upon a secret process. The company absolutely bound itself in no way to attempt to find out whase the secret was. The Friends were to remain in possession of the secret, and any attempt on the part of the company, their employes, agents or lawyers to find out the secret for feited all their rights and any stock they may have held, tiem « and Emily Howard, Milan, tracts are indorsements of aggregating $100,000, The paymen made between June 30 and Nov, 17, 1584, It is now feared that President Cotterill fs as deep in the mud as the Friends and How- ards His past record is it is not ealoulated him, Nei his house £ i gs gE 8 :) EIcEsiil ai i +mEY AGREE TO FIGHT, Kilrain's Representatives und Sullivan Ap. prove of Articles, Tonoxro, Jan. 8,--John LL.

An additional £5,000 will be put up in New York on the 15th of April. The referee could not be fixed upon, and it was agreed to appoint him at the ring side.
