BHIC TO TRUST.
Pittsburg Grocers Ask the
Privilege of Sweetening
Their Own Coffee.
THE TRUST TO FIX PBICES.
Wholesalers All Over the Country
Only Want a Rebate.
THEY REALLY AIDED THE COMBINE.
Hott the American Kenning Company Is
to Control the Market.
EROAD TERMS OP THE CAPITULATION
Contrary to the reports fromlhe East that
the Sugar Trust is weakening, absolute
proof was found in Pittsburg yesterday that
ali the wholesale and importing grocers of
the county are bowing their heads to the
great corporation and are asking to be
taken care of. The movempnt was started
in Philadelphia, and now the big grocers
all over the country are hustling to get in
out of the wet. The grocers recognize that
the Sugar Trust, known as the American
Sugar Kenning Company, of New York,
controls the market and they now bow in
submission. The trust is to hare absolute
power in firing the price of sugar and can
change it whenever its officers desire.
The plan of submission is in the shape of a
petition from each of the wholesale
grocers" associations of the country, pray
ing that the American Sugar Refining Com
pany establish a fised price for thi article
of food, and allow every SO days o- three
months a rebate to the wholesale dealers
which will give them at least a fair margin
of profit The petition circulated here reads
as follows:
Grocers Eotv In SnbmIIon to the Trnst.
To tlii- American Sugar Beaulng Company, New
Yo-k:
Gr:.Tii:inr-fl"e. the undersigned, whole
sale Ri-ocers of Tittsburj: and Allegheny, do
respectfully appeal to you for such change
on your term of sale as shall secure to the
wholesale trado a protlt on sn-r.ir at least
sufficient to cover the cost of distribution
and collection.
This petition is signed by all the whole
rale grccers in the two cities, with two ex
ceptions, and they will affix their signa
tures later. The petition, with the names
attached, was sent to the "Wholesale Gro
cers' Association of Philadelphia last night
by Secretary Joseph Hunter, of the Pitts
burg "Wholesale Grocers' Association. Sim
ilar petitions from all the other principal
cities are being sent to Philadelphia, where
a committee will be appointed to await on
the officers of the trust about Saturday in
New York and lay before them the wail of
the sugar venders.
The meetings in Philadelphia on this sub
ject have been held behind closed doors and
it was reported there that the Trust had
made overture? to them, but the reverse is
the truth of the affair. Secretary Joseph Hun
ter, of the "Wholesale Grocers' Association,
speaking of the move yesterday said:
The Trout "Will rix the Ppiun.
"The wholesale grocers are forced to come
to the Sugar Trust. Sugar is now selling
for J4 48 per 100 pounds to the wholesalers,
and they have to sell it now for $4 SO, giv
ing a gross profit of 2 centa on 100 pound;,
and after counting up tho ,cut of distribu
tion and collection the grocers just lose
of a cent on every pound the v hardie. Our
aim now is to be able to handle sugar at a.
proht ot at least Jj ot a cent a pound.
IVc had some show until the Philadelphia
refineries wer;. merged into the trust.
"When Claus Spreckels, the Frank
lin and another refinery went into
the trust it shuts off everything but the
output of one refinery in Boston. All we
want is to sell sugar at a moderate profit,
"The movement is being worked from Phil
adelphia and I think it will be successful.
The idea is to alio it the trust to put a fixed
price on sugar but ghe a rebate of
about i to of a cent per pound.
Then we would like to have a fixed
price of ?4.75 a hundred now with the above
rebate to be paid back to the wholesaler
every 30 or 90 days. No one is to be allow
ed to sell below the price fixed bv the trust
on penalty of forfeiting his rebates, and
anvoue who does no: sign these petitions
will not be allowed to participate in the re
bates. The retailer?, however, are allowed to
get as much over the trust price as they can.
Grocers Have Been -Aiding the Trnst.
""Wo made a somewhat similar petition
several years ago. The President of the
trust said he would accept such a propo
sition if the retailers would assist the trnst
to take in three-nuartcrs of the refineries of
tiie county. This has been accomplished.
There is only one refinery now left on the
outside. I firmly believe the trust will be
a good thing provided this arrangement is
effected, because it will allow everybody to
make a profit, and will establish a fixed
price."
The only thing now worrying the trust is
the bill to take the tariff off refined sugar.
From the most accurate data obtainable it
is learned that since the first intimations
were made that a bill looking to the repeal
of the tariff on refined sugar would be taken
before Congress the stock of the American
Sugar Eefining Companv has experienced a
shrinkage of nearly 59,000,000.
The present price of raw sugar, 96 cen
trifugal test, 'i cents a pound; the present
price of refined granulated sugar, i cents
a pound, which "makes a difference of
cents a pound. The cost of refining sugar
is not over cent a pound, which makes a
net profit a pound on refined sugar of
cent, giving a net profit per barrel of
52 03'. The net profit on 12,G00jO0O, which
is the minimum annual production is 525,
.193,000. "With the tariff off refined sugar
the net profit on the same amount would be
510,237,500. The actual value of Sugar
Trust properties is abont 535,000.000, which
allows a rate of profit on actual valuation
of 73.08 per cent.

NEWS OP THE WORLD OP IAB0R
To-day the strike committee of the Build
ers' Exchange and the committee from the
Union Bricklayers will have another
conference. It is not at all proba
ble that the strike will be settled.
Yesterday the strikers' committee had a
meeting. The whole ground was gone over.
It was decided to vest the committee with
the entire power of settling the difficulty,
and the union gave the committee its ulti
matum. The Master Bricklayers also held a meet
ing yesterday. It, too, decided to give the
committee which is to go into the confer
ence full power to act. Heretofore the
committee has been directed in its actions
by the master bricklayers. It was found
that the matter would never be settled if
the power was not centralized.
Insist Vp-n n 84 BasK
Last night it was learned from the strikers
that they did not expect the conference
to-day would result in a settlement. They
have positive proof that three out of
the five members on the committee
from the Master Bricklayers have
decided on the course they
will follow in the conference. It is said they
have solemnly Wedded themselves to settle
on no otho- but u SI lai. This will ngain
block a settlement, as it is not at all probable
tho strikers will give in. Ttiev want $4 60.
Tho strikers ara so much impressed with
the opinion that tho men who compose the
opposition's committro aro biased that they
will ask for aiiothi'r plan of bringing about
the end of the strike. They think the com
mittee is carrying back lalso reports to the
Builders' Exchange, and if t'ie conference
to-day does not settle the trouble, the Ex"
chansrewill bo asked to listen to a lepre
sentalive fiom tho strikers. It is thought
that if the wholo membership of the ex
change Is given a chance to he.ir the griev
ances of the bricklayers, a settlement can be
made.
Bleetlocof the Bonders Exchange.
Yesterday afternoon the Builders' Ex
change held its largest meeting since last
summer. The meeting was called to decide
on whether n change should be mndo in thp
by-laws. Some of tho members desired to
add an amendment governing tho letting
of contract. The amendment made it
compulsory on tho part of all members to
deal with members entirely. This was
thought unwise by many of tho members
and the matter was laid on the tahlc.
The amendment was discussed for several
hours, and all through the discussion it was
very lively. Although it was reported that
the amendment would havo a clause bridg
ing over labor trouble, such was not the case,
nnd the cause of labor did not figure in the
least particular in the discussion yesterday.
NOW IN THE MINE BUSINESS.
Mr. Halnsworth Conies Back from Seattle
to See His Former Home Not Sorry
He Went TVest Interested In a Lead
and Silver Mine.
"William Hainsworth, formerly of the
Pittsburg Steel Casting Company, reached
the city from the West yesterday. He is at
the Anderson. Three years ago Mr. Hains
worth left here, and located In Soattle. He
hasn't been in Tittsburg since, and he
was glad to get back to see his
old friends. He built a foundry and
machine shop at Ballard, a town about five
mile from Seattle. The land valued at
$40,000 was donated, and at the earnest solic
itation of a number of people ho built the
plant. In time it was discovered that with
p'g Iron costing them $33 per ton thev
couldn't compete with Chicago and Pitts
burg, and 93 per cent or the business in
Seattle was gobbled by tho Eastern people.
Then the plant was. closed, but the
town continued to grow and wax fat. The
inhabitants built saw mills, shingle
factories and established lumber yards. In
this business with immense timber tracks at
their backs, the producers reigned supreme.
Tho town now has 2,500 inhabitants, where
threo years ago there wasn't a house.
"The time is coming, however," continued
Mr. Hainsworth, "when Washington will be
the greatest iron and steel center in the
wot Id. The state abounds in gold, sliver,
iron, lead and coal. Its mineral wealth Is
wonderful, and all it lacks is development.
The iron men will thrive out there under
ireo trade or piotection. They havo the
ocean near them and can compete with
England on .foreign rates, and toward the
East are the continental railroads. I
do not regret that I went West. The
men who built the town of Ballard
cleared $1,COO,000. Just now the peoplo
In tho far West have leached their limit.
Their money has played out andthevaro
looking to Eistern capital to help them.
They have built first-class cities and towns,
but they need factories and manufactories
to support them. Thee w ill come In com so
of time. Washington is a ereat conntrv for
young men. Its possibilities are enormous.
At present the real estate boom has flat
tened our, and it is-a good thing for the
cities."
Mr. Hainsworth is interested in the Boston
mi'ie, located in the Stag!-- Vallev, north of
Seattle, and to get Pittsburg capitalists in
teiestedis what brings him here at this
time. The mine produces lead and silver.
He has with him some snecimens of the ore
and ccveral samples of enke made
In the Skagit Valley. When An
drew Carnegie and H. C. Frick
were in Seattle recently on their Western
trip, they brought back with them some of
the coke. Mr.Cawiegio remarked to the crowd
of gentlemen who came to greet him that
this was tho first time he hail seen Mr.
Hainsworth with a clean face. The old gen
tleman usually spends his time in tho mills,
where it 1 impossible to maintain a white
appearance. A general laugh lolloned this
tally, which m appicciateu by everybody.
The veinUn the mine is from 6 to 13 fnet
wide, while the paystieuk ranges from 2
to 4 feet in taiefcnesa. According to tu
assays the amount or silver in the oi e is S5
ounces to the ion and ,8 35 percent of lead.
Mr. Hainsworth Is grcatlv pleased with the
prospects.

DISPATCH, TUESDAX
CAUGHT THE THIEF.
A Yonng Girl Arrested by Detective Mo
Tighe, Has Lonfc Been Wanted.
A young woman suspected of stealing an
ostrich tip boa from a sleeping woman at
the Baltimore and Ohio depot on Sunday,
was arrested yesterday, and the prisoner
turned out to be not only the thief who had
committed that offense, but proved to be a
girl the police havo been looking for for the
past three months. It was found that a girl
about 17 years old, and wearing a long new
market cloak was about tho station justbe
foro tho boa was stolen. Yesterday after
noon while walking along Market street, an
officer saw a girl clothed in a newmarket,
and wearing a boa about hor neck.
A detective stepped up to her and
asked her if It was the one sho had stolen'
from the depot. In hor innoconce she said
it was, and the detective took her to City
Hall. There It was fonnd she was Emma
Fairbrother, of Alton, Illinois, whom the po
lice had been asked several times to hunt up
in this city by heart-broken parents who
said she had run away with a theatrical com
pany, nnd had neen stranded here.
It seems that her mother is a book canvas
sot, and had taken the girl with
her on a Jaunt some three months
ago. At Rochester the girl deserted her
mother, and It was thought Joined a
barn-storming companv that got
to this city and broke. Then the police
wero written to by the pircnti at Alton, and
also by a sister who lives in St. Louis, who
sent aphotogtaph here to lead to her detec
tion. Tho prisoner denied her identity until
shown tho picture, when she conletsed she
was the much-looked-1'or petsou. Sue said
sho had been in Wheeling until a week ago,
when she came hero and took upa residence
at 20 Third avenue. The boa she had was
returned to Miss Thomas, from whom It was
taken. Miss Fairbrother will likely bo held
until her parents come for her.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Constable Bobert Hugbey Stricken
Down' From Opiuin Poison
LAUDANUM FOUND IN HIS POCKET.
Picked Up Unconscious in Mr. -Martin's
Back Yard, in Allegheny.
THE CORONER WILL HOLD AN INQUEST
Constable Eobert Hughey, of the Twelfth
ward, Allegheny, died yesterday afternoon
at the Allegheny General Hospital, from
the effects of an overdose of laudanum, and
everything points to suicide. Early on
Sunday morning the Constable was found
lying in the yard of Mr. Martin at the foot
of the steps which lead to Nunnery hill.
Wood was sent to the Mayor's office and the
unconscious man was removed to
the hospital department of the sta
tion. Citv Physician Huzzard was
sent for, and, after examining him, con
cluded that he was suffering from the ef
fects of some drug aud administered anti
dotes. After working with the patient for
some time, Dr. Huzzard succeeded in bring
ing him around all right, and Hugley was
able to talk and seemed to be perfectly ra
tional. Went Oat and Got More Poison.
Dr. Huzzard said lost night that he at
first thought that the constable might have
beri drugged for the purpose of robbery.
He made a careful examination of him, but
could find no marks of violence; besides he
had some money on his person, also his
watch and chain. The doctor examined bis
clothing, and found in ono of his pookets a
half ounce phial that was labeled poison,
and which had contained laudanum. Con
stable Hughey had so far recovered that a
short time after lie was allowed to go.home
with some fiiends.
It seems that Mr. Hughey after getting
away must have gotten another bottle of
poison, lor yesterday when he was brought
to tho hospital two phials labeled poison
were found on His person. Alter being
taken to the hospital Mr. Hughey remained
unconscious until the time ot his death.
Suspicions of Soul Play.
Dr. Bodgers, of tho Allegheny General
Hospital staff, requested the Coroner to
allow him to hold a postmortem on the
body, as he hud observed bruises about
Hughey's bead and face. This request wns
granted, and tho postmortem was held,
tevoallng that death was caused by
opium poisoning. Aldeiman Bouilar,
for whom the deceased worked, stated
to tho Cot oner last night, that
Ilnghey told him he had J160 which he
had collected, but this money as not found
on him. William A. Hughey, a son of the
dead man, said the last time he saw his
lathor was on Thursday, and he was then In
good health. The son stated he bad on one
occasion procured laudanum for his luther
who used it on hn eyes.
Coi-oner McDowell will hold an inqnest
and make a thoiough examination at 11
o'clock to-day.
PASSES I0H A C0NSTJHPIIVE COUGH.
How an Old Timer Worked the Depart
ment of Charities.
George W. Davis is a Western cowboy
with a consumptive cough, in which the
rattlo of the hearse Is plainly heard. He ap
peared at the Department of Cbaritie3
yesterday and told a story that would have
moved a policeman to tears. He has been In
the far West and had worked his way East
on cattle trains. Then he became much
worse and did not know whether he would
live to get home. Here he threw in several
hacking coughs that brought the result and
he was given an order for a ticket toNewark.
With profuse thanks lor his benefactors he
went out. The people in Chief Elliot's office
thought lie was safe on his way to Ohio when
he suddenly turned up with a jag of gigantio
pioportioni. Ho decided he only wanted to
go to Canton, O., and as tho fare was less the
change was made and considered a cheap
riddance.

The Plfth Avenue -Methodist Episcopal
Chnrch to Be Bemoved.
The Fifth Avenue M. E. congregation met
last evening and decided to lease the ground
npon which the church stands to Kanfmann
Bros. The vote was 62 to 10 In favor of leas
ing. Tho terms of the lease aro $12,000 for
the first 13 years and $15,000 for the Io3t ten
years. At the end of 25 years the building Is
to go back to the congregation. Tho build
ing is not to cost less than $73,000. The
Kaurmanns are to pay all taxes and ex
penses on the property while they hold it.
The meeting was largely attended, many
prominent people and members of the
church being present. C L. Mttgee was
among the number, and his knowledge cf
conducting an electlou came in very con
veniently. The congregation will trv to get the use of
the Second TJ. P. Church, Sixth avenue, until
n building can be erected. It is probable
the church will adopt the plan of tho Christ
congregation and build two churches. The
membership is so larve and scattered that it
cannot be contralized.
