AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
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

be furnished with money to purchase the

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

parties agreed that the fight should come off

for—and the championship belt, Over this
last provision there was some wrangling, but
it was flnaily agreed upon by both parties,
Ten thousand dollars is already up at The
Clipper office in New York. 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. The final stakeholder is not
yet chosen, Harding said that the papers
would probably not be signed in Toronto,
through fear of the law, but they would be
signed in Hamilton or some other Canadian
town. Harding will remain hers for a day
