Denied Information, THEMISSINGSTOCK OPERATOR MYSTERY Failure of Memphis and New York Commission Merchants. DOCTORS FLOCKING TO BERLIN: REFUSED TO TESTIFY. A Witness Who Would Not Give Facts ‘Wanted by the Interstate Commission. Cnicado, Nov. 25.—Judge Blodgett in the United States district court this morning ren- dered a decision which closely affects the efi- ciency of the interstate commerce law for the punishment of persons and corporations found gnilty of making secret special rates. ‘The interstate commerce commission in re- sponse to complaints that rates from points west of Chicago have been manipulated in the interests of certain favored shippers caused an inquiry into the matter to be made by the federal grand jury. Among the witnesses called wos Charles Counselman, a prominent dealer on the board of trade. He was asked if he had not received rebates on consignments of grain over the principal rail- roud lines from the west, and under advice of counsel declined to answer, on the ground that to do so would tend to criminate himself. He was cited to appear before Judge Blod- gett and make answer why he should not be compelled to respond to the queries, ‘The matter wax argned yester- day and thik morning Judge Blodgett gave hi decision, holding that Mr. Counselman must answer. Mr. Counselman will still refuse to testify and the matter will be taken on appeal to the United States Supreme Court. eee IT REMAINS A MYSTERY. ‘The Disappearance of John R. Baker, the Philadelphia Stock Operator. Puttapetrnta, Nov. 25.—The whereabouts of Jobn R, Baker, jr., the stock operator who dis- appeared last Thursday, leaving large liabilities behind him, still remains a mystery. His family claim not to know what has become of him and say that they are doing everything in their power to locate him and: put them- selves in communication with him. They assert that thoy think that his financial troubles have become more than he could bear and thut he has wandered aimlessly away. At the office of the brokerage firms through whom Mr. Baker operated, extreme reticence is maintained concerning their dealings with him. ‘The rumors published in several morning Papers stating that disclosures of forgeries might follow Mr. Baker's disappearance are de- nied by the brokers with whom he dealt, they all asserting that no such disclosures will re- sult. as A MEMPHIS FAILURE, Assignment of Thos. H. Allen £ Co., Commis- ion Merchants. Mempms, Nov. 25.—Thos. H. Allen & Co., cotton factors and commission merchants at No. 8 Madison street, made an assignment this morning.

The style of the branch is Richard Allen =& Co. = The special assignment made this morning was pre- cipitated by the suspension of Richard H. len & Co. in New York. A schedule of assets and liabilities is being prepared. ‘The announcement has caused a profound sensation. The firm was one of the largest in Memphis and was considered one of the most substantial in the sonth. Mr. Harry Allen, one of the members of the firm, in an inter- view with the Associated Press reporter, said: “Qur assets are largely in excess of our lia- bilition and, with time, the firm can. pay dollar for dollar in settlement of all the indebtedness and have a large surplus left.” ————— TODAY IN EUROPE.

In the Criminal Court, “Chief Justice Bing- ham, today District appeal cases were taken up. The first case was that of Daniel Mahony for keeping an unlicensed bar. Mr. D. E. Ca- hill appeared for the defendant. The first witness was Henry Rollins, a colored cripple, and when called, Mr. Dumont for the District asked him to step off, remarking that he stood as a dis- credited witness in the Police Court and be would not use him here. Benjamin Warfield testified to getting drinks at the place (Ist and Pierce streets northwest) one Sunday morning in July. On cross-examination witness denied that he was put out, but admitted that Mahony called down to his ‘wife to put them out, for the police were coming. John Ross, colored, testified that he had got no liquor there and saw Warfield when he came asked for liquor, and was put out. Charlotte Watson, colored, testified that she never saw liquor sold in the store. On crose- examination witness said she was there when Warfield camo in and was put out after being refused liquor. Ofticer Benny testified that he knew nothing Sealer Aldrich Submits His Report and ‘Makes Some Recommendations. measures for the District east of 9th street northwest and southwest, has submitted bis: ‘nual report to the District Commissioners, say- ing that during the months commencing No- vember 1, 1889, and ending June 30, 1890, he made 3,975 inspections of the scales and meas ures in the different stores and markets in section of the city assigned to him and that the fees received for the same amounted to $2,494.23. The expenses for the same period were $1,089. He condemned and confiscated twelve scales and forty-four measures, the scales either being beyond repair or their owners refusing to pay inspection fees and the measures not ‘holding the amount the law required. Most of these scales and measures were in use either by strect hucksters or hucksters standing outside of the markets, claiming to be couutry people. He save that, with a few exceptions, the dealers in ali the markets are anxious to have their scales correct and do not wait to have them con- demned before purchasing new ones. WHOLESALE OYSTER DEALERS. There is a great deal of complaint against the people who wholesale oysters to the cit dealers. It is claimed that the oystermen when purchasing their stock in Maryland waters five pecks for a bushel, but when sel ouly give a scant four pecks. He t law should require a special measure for oysters. Also corn is sold here by the barrel measure Most of the states require that it shall be sold by weight and that is the only way that any one ix certain of getting what they pay for, as there are tricks’ in m ing by the barrel advantage of by dishonest sellers. There been but little legislation as to should be considered the legal weigh measure in the District of Columbia. in adjoining states hus had to be re for our Jaw, and it often leads to disp’ makes it impossible at times to convict dis- honest dealers. present law all dealers using scales and meas- ures are obliged to pay a certain fee for ins. tion of the same, whether they keep them in good condition or not, thas compelling the many who ary careful to careless or dishonest. He recommends that the present system be abolished and that thi sealer receive a salary, and that only those personally. Mr. Cahill suggested that the District had not made ont a case. ‘The court said it was a case for the jury. Mr. Cabill then called Albert Lancaster, who testified that no liquor was sold to Warfield. ‘The jury was not long in finding a verdict of not guilty. In the following cases the defendants were called and recognizances forfeited: Eliza Greenapple, obstructing sidewalk: Joseph Silas and W. C. Farquhar, unlicensed bars. A number of eases were on the calendar for yesterday and today, but parties were not ready and the court directed that the undis posed.cases go over till tomorrow, when they will be disposed of by trial or otherwise. phat li met FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
