THAT DRESSED BEEP TRUST
Air. Armour Denies That There In Such an
Institution-Sworn Statement, of the
tho Compnny Is Discredited.
Sugar, Wheat and Shoes Go I'p.
It has for some time been onpenly
charged that Armour & Co., Ni'lson
Morris, George F. Swift and the Ham
mond company, the "Big Four" of tho
dressed beef business have formed a
beef trust and are responsible for the
recent rise In prices which have affected
people all over the country, more es
pecially those In poor circumstances,
at a time when they could not well
afford to pay such, Increase. P. D.
Armour has at last broken the chain of
silence with wh.lch the magnates have
surrounded themselves, and consented
to tnlk for publication.
"There is no such a thing as a beef
trust," said Mr. Armour, "and I have
not made a fortune out of the recent
rise in prices. There never was such a
! story afloat with so little foundation
I say to you In all sincerity that Armour
& Co. did not make any money In the
beef business during the year 1894, and
up to the present the year 1895 has
proved equally as bad. We are not do
lng one-half our usual business.
"There seems to be a boycott against
beef, and this craze ha3 hurt the trade
beyond expression. There was never
a more senseless canard put afloat
There never has bean any understand
ing, directly or Indirectly, between
Swift, Morris and Armour In buying
tnelr cattle, or In selling their beef, and
I would be very careful not to say this
were It not really true."
Not Believed at Waohlngton.
"If Mr. Armour had sworn that he
had made a little something last year
on his beef business I think his state
ment would have had more weight,"
said an influential member of the de
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton, referring to the sworn statement
of the affairs of Armour & Co. filed
nf'jh the department of agriculture, a
synopsis of which was printed In The
Tribune yesterday.
"You see. It's this way," said the ex
pert. "The firm has a general cattle
account, under which la given the cost
of the cattle originally. Then, when
they are killed, they are sold to about
thirty different department of the same
esablishment at figures which, In the
aggregate, keep the main account even.
"But that cattle account no more
shows the actual condition of the busi
ness than i does the business
of an ocean steamship company.
The department accounts are where
you must look for the true story. Eaoh
department buys its supplies at cost
from the malm cattle account, and the
man or men in charge struggle to see
how large a profit can be turned out.
The aggregate of the profits of the sev
ers.! departments or subdivisions Is
what the proprietor draws down from
his profit and loss account at the end
of the year.
"There Is the hide account, the glue
account, the tallow account, the can
ning account, the bone or button ac
count, the fertilizing account, the re
frigerator car account and so on down
to the minutest detail. There Is no
waste in a, carcass of beef, even the
teeth and eyes being used.
"If Mr. Armour had taken the public
fully Into his confidence he would have
Included In his statement an exhibit of
the results of the sub-departments of
his establishment. He neglected to do
that."
Wheat Took a Jump.
On Wednesday wheat made another
advance In the New York market, and
there Is a great difference of opinion
among commission men as to whether
it will go higher on its merits. Some
well posted men think H will go con
siderably higher because there is a
scarcity In Europe and because other
countries, such as the Argentine Re
public and Russia, have little to spare.
Edward C. Rice, of New York, who
represents Jhe Pillsbury-Washburne
Flour 11111s company, says the stock of
wheat In Europe is 15,000,000 less than a
yar ago. As an Indication of the in
creased demand Mr. Rice says the sales
of flour, whkJh have kept pace with the
advance In the price of wheat, for the
week ending April 20 footed up more
than for any week during the last three
years. He looked for higher prices ell
around, although he did not attribute
the advance to any attempt to create a
corner.
Other commission men believe there
are signs that a corner on May wheat Is
projected, but whether It can be carried
out Is a different matter. The way . In
which th price for May wheat Is
crowding July wheat shows that there
Is an unusual demand for the former,
and tt might take very little with the
present upward tendency In general
business to put May wheat to a
premium.
Sugar Also on the Rise.
Sugar, too, has been going up slowly
for several weeks. There have been
several rises in wholesale price of one
sixteenth of a cent per pound within
the last ten days, and come retailers
have correspondingly advanced the
price to consumers, while others con
tinue to sell at tlhe old figure.
Tha wholesale price yesterday was
one-eighth of a cent per pound above
what K was two weeks ago. The trust,
which controls the wholesale market,
give as a reason for the advance, the
fact that the stock of sugar on hand
Is lew, and the natural reRult of the
brisk trade, they say, Is to raise the
price. Wholesalers say tlhe increase to
the consumers will be slight.
At a meeting of the shoe manufac
turers In Boston Wednesday it was
voted to raise the prices on all shoes
from 10 to 25 cents a pair. This rise In
prices Is forced upon the manufacturers
by the advance In hides.

Impressive Services at tho House and
Grave-l'nll-Bcnrcrs Past Commanders

friends and sympathizers attended the

"Jesus, Lover of My Soul," after which
Rev. A. F. Ferris read a biographical
sketch of Colonel Lewis and referred
to his Illustrious career in the army
and his honored life among his fellow
citizens. Tho well-known hymn, "It
Is Well with My Soul," was then ren

N. F. Stahl offered prayer In most ap

sung, followed by the benediction,
which was pronounced by Rev. W. G.
Watklns.

WAVERLY JCHOOL CASE
Answer of Principal Hnnyon and the
Four Directors.
KILL BE FILED TODAY IN COURT
They Deny That the Religious Exercises
as Conducted lu the Waverly Borough
School Are in Any Way Sec
tarlan in Character.
Principal Fred C. Hanyon, of the
Waverly borough school, and the four
directors, Lester Stone, N. C. Mackey,
John Hall and J. L. Stone, who are sup
porting him in the religious dispute
that Is pending relative to his rending
of the Bible in tho school, against the
proteBt of Directors George E. Steven
son und Rev. D. N. Vail, will file their
answer today In court, nnd that will
allow the attorneys for Stevenson and
Rev. Mr. Vail to prepare their replica
tion. First. Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Vail,
through Attorneys E. C Newcomb and
John P. Kelley applied for a prpllmln
ary injunction to Issue to restrain
Principal Hanyon from reading tho
Bible In the school on the ground that
he was Introducing sectarianism by
using a hymnul that was a form of
worship of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and that he Invited evangelists
to address the school children, and so
forth, Stevenson claimed that the ac
tion of Hanyon was distasteful to him
nnd also to the parents of a half dozen
Catholic children attending the school.
Judge Gunster granted a rule to show
cause why the Injunction should not be
graitted, and on the day that It came up
for argument, Attorneys H. M. Hannah
and A. D. Dean, representing the four
directors and Attorney A. A. Vosburg
the principal, filed a demurrer and
claimed that the law did not warrant
the complainants receiving the relief
asked for. Judge Gunster hnnded down
an opinion on this demurrer that
created favorable comment from all
parts of the state and from other states.
He held that Hanyon Is responsible In
a court of equity if he performs what
he Is charged In the bill of compluint
with doing. Judge Ounster decided
that the constitution expressly pro
hibits sectarianism In the public
schools. The demurrer was dismissed
and the directors ordered to make an
swer to the factB contained In the bill
of complaint. This answer was served
on the complainants' attorneys yester
day, and will probably be filed In court
today. To this answer replication will
be made and the case will then be In
shape for the appointment of a referee
or a hearing before the Judges In equity
court. The answer Is as follows:
Answer of Defendants.
These defendants, now and at all
times hereafter saving and reserving
unto themselves all benefit and advan
tage of exception which can or may be
had or taken to the many errors, un
certainties, and other Imperfections In
the said complainant's bill or complaint
contained, for answer thereunto, or
unto bo much nnd such parts thereof
as these defendants are advised Is or
are material or necessary for them to
make answer unto, answering say:
First We admit that George E.
Stevenson, the plaintiff, pays a per
capita tax In Waverly borough. In Bald
county. That he holds the ofllee of
secretary of the board of school direc
tors of said district, and that he Is the
father of children attending school In
tha said district.
Second We admit the statements
contained In the second section of plain
tiff's bill.
Third We have no knowledge tha
plaintiff's religious views, conscience,
or convictions do not conform to the
Methodist Episcopal church or any
ther religious denomination. We admit
that there are five pupils from the same
family, of Catholic parentage. In at
tendance at the Waverly public school:
the other pupils are from families of
various Protestant denominations.
Dony Charge of Sectarianism.
Fourth We deny all the allegations
contained in the fourth section of plain
tin's bill. The principal conducts an
opening exercise In the morning within
tlie regular school-hours, but It does
not conform to the method, system, or
order of worship followed In the Meth
odist Episcopal church of that vicinity,
of any other church. At 9 o'clock In
the morning the pupils of the several
grades arc assembled In room No. 1,
and a portion of the Holy Scripture is
read, sometimes alone by the principal,
and sometimes tho principal reads the
first verse, and fls many of the pupils
as desire to do so, read In unison the
following verse, end so on, until the
chapter or passage Selected Is com
pleted, but never are nny of the pupils
required to reieat a verse of Scripture
from memory, nor are they ever re
quired to Join In the reading. The mat
ter Is left wholly optional with them.
This opening exerclBe is not concluded
by singing hymns from any hymn
book, but about ten minutes are de
voted to exercise In singing from the
singing-book adopted by the board of
directors, containing patriotic, tem
perance and miscellaneous selections,
and no pupil Is required to sing against
his or her inclination.
Fifth The board of school directors
of said district have not formally
adopted the Bible as a text book, hut It
has been used In the schools of said dis
trict immemorially with their consent
and approbation and substantially In
the samel manner, and the principal has
been given discretion to use the said
book 'by formal resolution adopted by
the board of said district on March 1,
1895. It has been the praotlce of the
school board, at the regular time before
the beginning of the school year, to
adopt only such new text books as they
deem desirable, and they do not name
those already in use. At the time of
adopting text books for the school year
of 1894-95 only two text books were
named, leaving the old books in use as
a matter of course where not super
seded by the new ones.
Clergymen Did Speak in tho School.
Sixth It Is true that, during the past
winter, clergymen of the Baptist,
Methodist and Roman Catholic denom
inations, as well as various other per
sons have visited the schools during
school hours, and In response to the In
vitation of the principal have made
addresses to the pupils. Among others
was the plaintiff, George E. Stevenson,
who also delivered an address to the
pupils. The clergyman referred to In
section six of the plaintiff's bill did not
make en address from his religious
point of view, as his remarks were with
out denominational or sectarian basis.
It Is true that at the conclusion of his
address he requested all those pupils
who loved the Lord to signify It by the
uplifted hand, but he did not reproach
or rebuke those who failed to signify
tho love of the Lord in the way re
quired. The principal took no part in
these exercises, and did not know that
the clergyman intended to make such
a request.
Seventh There have been no sectar
ian exercises In the school, and the
reading of the Holy Scriptures has not
produced or Intended to produce con
troversy among the people whose chil
dren are attending said school, or
among the pupils themselves, and there
has been no impairment of the uniform
ly good and wholesome discipline
among the pupils, nor hassthere been
any falling off in the attendance upon
said school as a result of the reading
of the Scriptures, and the children of
the plaintiff .still continue to attend.
The plaintiff himself has made consid
erable commotion and attempted to stir
up strife among the people, but he has
been unable to obtain any following
worthy of mention, and the method in
which this school Is conductedby the
principal Is meeting the almost unlver
sal approbation of the patrons of the
school.
Tho Concluding Statements.
Eighth We admit the facts set forth
In the eighth paragraph of plaintiff's
bill.
Ninth The defendants deny that tho
use of the Bible, and the other exercises
as conducted by the principal and the
pupils, are sectarian, denominational or
unlawful. The plaintiff has been a
member of the board of directors of
Bald school district since June, 1X93, and
since that date similar exercises have
been conducted by the principal up to
the present time, with plalntins full
knowledge and apparent assent. No
objections were Interposed by the plain
tin until January, 1895. In January,
1895, the plaintiff offered a resolution at
a meeting of the directors of said clls
trlet that the Bible be adopted us a
text-book In said schools-
All which matters and things these
defendants are ready and willing to
aver, maintain, and prove, as this bow
arable court shall direct, and humbly
pray to be hence dismissed, with their
reasonable costs and charges, In this
ix-mi 11 most wrongfully sustained.

Fropcrty Owners of Minooka Want
to Ik Considered Now.
THEY WILL TAKE LEGAL STEFS
I'nder a Recent Decision of the Supreme
Court They Bolleve They Can Col
lect Damages and Are Going
to Make .tho Effort.
Property owners on Main street,
Minooka, and tha eastern end of
Greenwood Intend to fight the Scran
ton and Plttston Traction '"company,
and a petition Is In circulation among
them, which, when signed by all of a
majority of them, will be presented to
Attorney Lemuel Amerman, who 1b pres
ident of the street railway, tor his In
spection and consideration, If an ami
cable adjustment of the claims of the
owners shall not be fulfilled, then the
latter propose to allow their attorneys,
Watson & Zimmerman, to proceed and
Institute Individual trespass suits In
court.
A decision of the State Supreme court
recently handed down threw a new
light on the liability of railways re
ceiving rights of way along streets In
tonVghs (and! townships. Tho deci
sion of the high court was to the effect
that the company shall be liable for all
damages sustained by property own
ers, by virtue of the construction of Its
railway lines and the operation thereof
and the erection of poles and wires,
unless the company receives the con
sent of the property owners.
Supervisors (iuve Right of Way.
P. C. Connolly, of Minooka, and Will
lam U. Jones, of Bellevue, were super
visors of Lackawanna township from
March 1892 to March 1S93. Minooka
and Greenwood are Bltuated In Lacka
wanna township. As the officials In
trusted by the statutes with the care of
the roadways of the township these
gentlemen bestowed the right of way on
a company from which official act the
Scranton and Plttston Traction com
pany derived the right of way.
The property owners were not con
sulted and the Scranton and Plttston
company put down Its tracks. The
railway took up so much of Main street,
Minooka, which is a rath?r narrow
thoroughfare, that the space for ve
hicles Is limited and there have been
not a few accidents since the cars be
gan running.
As long a9 the supreme court has
Bald that the property owners must
give their consent to the street car
company for the right of way, and
since the company has not received
that consent and is therefore, accord
ing to the ruling, liable for damages re
sultant, the owners Intend to seek re
dress in law if the company does not
agree to some acceptable settlement.
Thankful for Favors.
The people of Minooka are thankful
enough to the Scranton and Plttston
Traction company for the car service
given them. They were not Interviewed
In reference to the building of the
tracks, and since the tracks have nar
rowed the roadway, they want the com
pany to become liable for any damages
to vehicles.
Justice of the Peace P. F. O'Hara, of
Minooka, has the petition in hand and
property owners generally are signing
It. .

Few of the reasons why we
are able to sell goods so much
below the usual prices as we
are doing :
1st. We sell for cash.
2d. We sell all our goods in the
store, not by the expensive way
of taking orders from house to
house.
3d. Handling so many goods we can
do it at a much smaller percent
age than where only halt the
quantity is sold.
4tll.Ve buy from the manufacturer
or importer, not from the j'obbcr,
thereby saving one proGt.
Ctll. We have no rent to pay for
house, barn or store, conse
quently can a lord to work cheap.
Ctb. Doing quite a large wholesale
as well as retail bnsiness we
can do it at lower rates than a
house doing either branch ex
elusive!'.
7th. And principally because we are
naturally inclined to make very
low rates, depending on the judg
ment of the purchasing public
to appreciate good goods and low
"prices to move the goods quickly.
