Mr..miner , in his complaint , stated that lie was agent of the United States electric company of Now York , manufacturers of electrical power machines , and was brought In contact with purchasers of electric motors. Thy complaint continues : "It appears that in cases where a party desires to arrange Ills power plant for future requirements by purchasing a motor of larger capacity than his present wants , said Thomson-Houston electric light company will accept contracts nnd payment for such amount of power , pro vided their motor is used. If tiny other nuiko Is used they decline to furnish power or make contracts for less than the rated capacity of motor. Said Thomson-Houston electric light company also threatens prospective purchasers that they will not furnish current lo any other motor than their own manu facture. " The matter was referred to the committee on gas and electric lights. The request of Sanitary Commissioner Morrissey for ollico furniture at a cost of not inoro than ? -tO wits granted.

In the commons tonight Healy asked the speaker to rule on the ques tion whether thcrowas _ a precedent for the earmark licensing fund. The speaker's reply created a sensation. He made a long speech , giving the opinion that there wus u precedent for such a fund. To allow the earmarking license fund to accumulate , as the government proposed , ho thought was a grave innovation , which the house itself ought decide upon. The ruling was received with opposition cheers. After further debate the ministers retired to discuss the speaker's opinion. Lord Hnrtlngton und Chamberlain ulvised the cabinet to drop the clauses. No definite conclusion wus arrived at , but it is understood tlmt Hltchio and Goschen have recognized tbo impossibility of retaining tljo clauses and will allow them to bo dropped while retaining their portfolios.

Important Doolxlon by the Now Yorli Court ill' Appcnln. AI.UANV , N. Y. , J np 24. The decision ol the court of nppeulA li the cose of the jicople In the North River sugar refining company , written by Judge Finch , was handed down today. It says : The Judgment sough ! luniliiHt the defcndaiffU ono that the cor. porato state which created It asks us to destroy , and the poiiiilty Invoked represents the extreme vigor of Uio law. Two questions nro opened before us first , has the de fendant corporation exceeded its pow ers ; nnd , second , does that excess ot abuse threaten or harm the public welfare ! Wo find It disclosed that It lias become an integral part and clement of u combination which possesses over It absolute control and dictates tfio extent and manner and terms of Its entire business activity. The defendant corporation has lost the jwwer to make n divi dend and Is compelled to pay over , Its net earnings to n muster , whose scrvunt' It has become. Under an order from that master It refused to reline sugar , and by that has lessened the supply upon the market. It can not stir unless the master approves , nnd yet Is entitled to receive from the earnjngs of other refineries , amassed as profits iu the treasury of the board , its proportionate share for division timong Its own stock holders , who nro now owners of substitute certificates. In return for this ud- vuntuiro It bus become liable to to mortgaged , not for Its own corporate benefit nlone , but to supply with funds the controlling board when that board reached out for other coveted ro- llncrlcs. All of this is admitted bv the de fendant. The decision , after further consid ering the information of the trust , says the defendant could have prevented it being founded by refusing to register or recognize the illegal transfer of stock. They should have appealed to the law , thus shattering the trust nt the outset. The question to bo de termined is whether the conduct of the defend ant in aiding to form the trust was Illegal In all these points which have been reviewed. It Is found that the corporation was doing the public un Injury.-und , in avoid ing the state law which compels the reserva tion of corporate rights , proved unfaithful to Us charter. The present corporation or trust puts upon the market a capital stock proudly defiant of actual values and capable of un limited expansion. It Is 0110 thing for n state to respect the rights of ownership nnd quite another thing to add to the possibility of n further extension of their consequence by creating artificial authorities In the manage ment of such aggregations. If corporations can combine and mass forces in u solid trust with a Httlo risk added to the capital ulrcudy In , within limit to magnitude , a tempting and easy road Is opened to enormous combina tions vastly exceeding in number and strength any possibilities of individual own ership. The state seeks to protect the indi vidual rather than combinations. In con clusion the opinion savs : The defcndent corporation has violated 5ts charter and failed In the performance of Its corporate duties and that in a respect so material and important as to Justify a Judgment of dissolution. We arc enabled to decide that in this state there can be no partnerships of separate and independ ent corporations , whether directly or indi rectly through the medium of a trust , no sub stantial considerations which avoid and disregard statutory provisions and restraints , but that manufacturing corporations must bo and remain several as they wcro created , or ono under the statute. The Judgment ap pealed from is affirmed wit-h costs. Supreme Court. I ustico Barrett , referring to the decision , said : "This is u matter in which I have taken greater interest , I think , than in any other which has como before tne. Dn the street the sugar people and those nterested In the trust appeared to bo more unused than disconcerted by the decision of .ho court. They suv the trust has not re ceived its death blow , but will continue. Only the method of doing business will bo iffccted. _ _ CHICAGO of nn Investigation by the Grand Jury. CiilCACio , Juno 241 An-1 investigation into : ho charges of boodling in the city council was begun by the grand Jury this morning. Evidence was presented that Mike Mc Donald , the wealthy ex-gambler , had offered Alderman Charles Moncar and Simeon Wallncr $3,000 each to vote for the West Lialte street elevated railroad ordinance. They only got $1,300 each nnd mntlo an uffl- luvit to that effect in the ollico of Joseph C. Sluckin , recently released from the pcniten- , iary for election frauds. These things were sworn to by Mackin und his clerk. This afternoon attachments wore issued for the two ex-uldcrmcn Moncar and Wnllncr and they were brought in and gave bonds for ippeurunce tomorrow. Moncar says the nfll- davit bearing Ills name is a forgery nnd the whole business a conspiracy. It Is through a nun named Peter Gable that tbo charges of jribery nro expected to bo proven.

At the com mencement exercises of the University Notre Dame Bishop Spaldlng of Peoria to- light mudo an oration to the graduates. It was an appeal for higher civilization. The bishop startled his hearers by giving a view of the future of every hundred young Ameri cans who leave college. Twenty-five , ho said , would ruin themselves by sins of the lesh and nt forty bo totul wrecks. Tweuty- Ivo might fall by dishonesty or ivo degraded by unhappy marriages. The other fifty might bo fairly respectable , doing the work of slaves , the lumdrum work of making money , merely to exist. Bishop Spauldlng's oration was u pro- est against materialism and ho struck hard > lows. His appeal for the higher educa- ion ot woman and for equal rights with man called forth n storm of applause. Ho insisted hat the present position of woman was a elic of barbarism. The right of woman was o bo the equal of man in all respects. The line was near when Americans would cease o boast of great cities , long railroads and nero nmteriul progress. "What can riches juyl" he asked. "Only the outward things.

"Yes , sir , I would bo satisfied with nllve , even If 1 was used up twlco as badly , " declared Engineer W. R. Rogcrson , as ho limped Into Tin : Br.i : ofllco yesterday morn ing nnd detailed his experiences In the Wnbiisli wreck ot Monday. "That was nu awful experience , and n man wo'ildu't go through it nllve ouco Iu n hundred times. You see , we were running about thirty miles nn hour as wo came up. the straight stretch Just below there , but I always aim to take the slack out of the train around that curve nnd had slowed to about twenty-live miles an hour. I saw her when she left the track. Wo wcro about seven feet from the end of the bridge when the forward trucks of the engine went over. 1 applied the air , closed the throttle and twisted down n thumb screw to hold It there , shouted to the fireman who was shoveling in coal to save himself , and Jumped for the tender. I had given her the air , but ran back Into the cab again to see that It was nil on , nnd then.climbed on the tender again. I had hardly reached there when the engine Jumped Into the ditch. Tno baggage car struck the tender , standing It on end nnd sending mo flying through the air. The ten der then went whizzing past me , and the bug- gngo car came flying after that , nnd the other cur went over -tho other side of the track. "How did I feel ? Well , It would bo hard to tell all tlmtp'tsscd ' through my mind , but I thought sure I was going to hind under that engine Iu some way. It was an agonizing prospect I eun assure you. Ono of the pas sengers said he saw me Iu the nlr. Ho no ticed the bumping and then felt the air and looked out of the window Wo were on the cur > o , nnd ho said ho saw the engine g6 over the bank. Ho told mo that I was about fif teen feet above the drivers when ho saw mo. I couldn't tell anything about that , but I know how 1 struck. 1 landed on the driver on my hip , and then my lags cumo down. They fell ncross the edge of the Wheel with such force as to raise u big black and blue ridge , and Dr. Pinnoy. who has Just exam ined mo , snvs it is the biggest wonder In the world that it didn't break my legs. "I tell you I was mighty thankful that I screwed down that throttle , for If I hadn't the shock would have thrown it open nnd that wheel would have been going at the rate of sixty miles on hour. It would have ground mo to pieces In no time. If I hud been thrown u Httlo further , under the dome. It would have been the sumo , as thostcam would have cooked mo. I got out U3 soon as I could and looked around for Andy , but the poor fellow wus no where to bo seen. 1 realized ut once that ho was in the wreck and supposed that wo would have to dig him out. I went around the end of the engine , so that I could get a view of the whole situation. The steam was escaping through nn inch and n half pipe un der 140 pounds pressure und was making an awful nolso. It gradually died away and then everything wus as still as the grave. I called to Andy , but received no answer , and Just then ho came walking away from the cab. I seized his hand and the flesh nil came off even to the nails and his arm fell to his side. His nerves must have been paralyzed , as he didn't seem to be suffering any pain. "The escaping steam had struck against the top of the cab and been dashed right back into his face. I believe ho would have gotten out , but ho must have been stunned when he fell , us ho wus cut under the oye. It was a horrible sight and I hope I shall never sec another like It. The poor fellow was a splendid specimen of physical manhood. Ho never drank or used tobacco and was the pic ture of health and strength. The night be fore the wreck we stayed , of course , at the other end of the division at Stunbcrry. Wo both stopped ut the sumo place , and as wo were setting outside cooling off before going to bed ] I noticed n black cloud coming up nnd spoke about it , saying 1 didn't believe I would go to bed. Wo went in , however , and when the storm struck 1 got up , put on my clothes nnd stuyed up until It wus over. Andy wouldn't get up , saying he wasn't afraid of it , and slept through it ull , but for all thut he never got homo alive. "What caused the wreck was the breaking of n flange on ono of the forward truck wheels. A piece of the flange , nboukeight inches long , split out and we wcntolT the second revolution of the wheel ufter we struck the curve. It was the quickest stop I ever made , und it was a luck- one , as the coaches or sleeper did not leave the track. The engine in going down spread the rails , so that the coaches dropped on the tics , but that was all. If the couches bud gone down they would have turned clear over , and It would have been awful. It is impossible to tell how many would have been killed or injured. If I could have seen that piece of the flange when it flew out I could have prevented It all. They found the piece about u quarter of a mile back on the straight track. Of course wo could run all right until we came to the curve. "If I hud only been on the other side , on the inside of the curve , wo would have run into Silver City all right , and perhaps then I would have discovered it , as a broken flange is the worst thing in the world to ditch a 'train and I am always on the lookout for them. Still I mfght not have seen it , mid then we would have got it on the grade this side , and it would probably have been u good deal worse than it was. "It was something that could not bo avoided. A flange is liable to break ut any time. There may bo a flaw In the casting , but it is not on tlio surface , and the wheel may run for years and then it happens to strike just right and over you go. I had only had these wheels about three months , nnd then thuy were now. It wasn't the fault of the track. They have been doing a lot of work along the line during the past year , and it is in fine shape. Thut was ono of the best stretches on the rond. * It was a rock ballasted curve , with u lot of now ties Hund steel mils. The bridges nil along the line have been thor oughly repaired , und it was u Irtg mistake for some of the papers to say thuto mils spread and caused the wreck. "I have been miming now twenty-years , and this is the fourth time I have gone into the ditch. It makes me feel rather discour aged. I was hurt worse this time than over bo- fore. I have been on the Wabash eleven years , and this Is the second wreck of mine on this road. The other time was at Rosoberry , whore I ran through an open switch. Wo went down nnd tipped over. The fireman Jumped that time and I stuyed with her. No ono wus hurt. I am bruised along my loft side from a point four inches above my knee to the point of the ribs. I tho'jghtl would go out again this morning , but 1 was too soro. The shuking of nn engine Is hard enough on a well man , but when ho Is sere Inside ho can't stand It. I suppose It will lay mo up for a couple of weeks , and then 1 will go to work again. " MIXOlt JIIMTIOX. N. Y. P. Co. Council Bluffs Lumber Co. , coal. C. E.
