THE M0THEUS-1X-LA.- Koeui to H ive an Iwynrt I Part in the Trouble Between Clever Little Marie and Her liny If unhand. NBW Youk, March 1. Mrs. N'evins.mother of Marie Nevins-Maine- , in an iutervicw said the story told by Secretary of State Blaine of their interview with Mrs. Blaine is largely erroneous. Mrs. Nevins says that she ac-companied her daughter to the house, a nurse and child being with them. When Mrs. Claine came iu they asked to see her ( Marie's) hustiaud, but she replied that they couldn't see him. Mrs. Blaine insisted upon the nurse leaving the room, and thcu mat-ters were talked over for some time. When Marie spoke of going away again, said Mrs. Mevius, Mrs. Blaine said: "Well, you can leave your baby hero if you want to." if Marie had been some poor outcast whom Jim Blaine had seduced, added Mrs. Nevins, Mrs. Biaiue could not have spoke in a more brutal manner. A moment or two later Mrs. Biaiue turned to Marie and said, in an extremely signilicant way; "Well, your marriage was all wrong, any way." Then, said Mrs. Nevins, 1 protested. Mrs. Blaine flew Into a fury, rang the bell, and a servant appeared with surprising speed. "Show tbeH persons out," cried Mrs. Blaine and then she added, "and watch them." At the door of the carriage the nurse, w ho was crying out of sympathy for Marie, said; "Mrs. Biaiue, you are a goose to go away-lik-this; you are his wife; go right up to his room; no one has a right to stop you." Mario went back into the house, while Mrs. Nevins stayed in the carriage. Then it was that the scenes took place. Sioix Falls, S. D., March 1. Judge Val mer, of counsel for Mrs. Blaine, jr., said that in due time his client will make a reply to the letter prepared by Secretary Blaine. She has been ill 6ince her return from Dead-wood- , and is not yet in a condition to make .such an answer as the circumstances call for. Washington", March 1. A reporter asked Blaine for a copy of the reply from Father Ducey. Blaine replied that it was Father Ihicey's privilege to publish it. He added, casually, that the letter did not amount to anything. TRUSTS 'TOT GO," An Important Decision Delivered by the Supreme Court of Ohio This llornine;. The Standard Oil Company Enjoined From Fulfilling Any of Its Trust Agreements. ITS RIGHT TO MAKE THEM Is Denied by the Court Together With the Power of the Company to Perform the Same, T. CORPORATE POWERS min All Other l'.espects Are, However, Left Intact A Similar Suit Will at Once be Entered by the Attorney-Gener- of New York. Coi.CMHfs, Ohio, Mareh 1. The supreme court of Ohio in the case of Attorney-Genera- l Watson vs. The Standard Oil company, handed down a decision today, of import ance concerning trust. This case was instituted by petition Inquo warranto, to oust the company sroni its corporate rights and to forfeit its franchise. The judgment of the court is to oust the compaufrjui the, right to make, trust t fortli in petition ami of the power to perform same. This is all the attorney general desired. He had no animosity toward the company and did tot desire to deprive it of its corpor-ate rights as enjoyed by others, but of the trust agreements which were contrary to law. Under tke decision the company will be allowed to continue its corporate powers. The decision of the supreme court sustains the attorney-general'- demurrer to the answer of the Standard, which set up a de-fense that the trust agreement was entered into by individuals and not by the company as a corporation holding a franchise. While the decision does not oust the its franchise it prohibits it from continuing to carry out or fulfill any pro-visions or agreements under the trust con-tract. The attorney-genera- l of New York lias pa-pers ready to Hie against the Standard in that state, prepared in contemplation of this decision. NEW YORK MONEY AND STOCKS. New Yokk, March l.

THE COUNTERFEITERS Arraignment of the Gang Who Deluged the Tills With Their Gilded Idols. The Jeweler in the Job Walks Up to the Scratch and Confesses His Guilt. SPRAGUE'S BOLD BLUFF, He Faces the Damning Proof of Guilt and Declares Himself Innocent. "DENVER BILL'S" DEFENSE Toliiver .Says He t'aased the Twenty Bat in, in'; Know It Lucked Weight ami the Ring - Mark King Stand Pat on H ;s Plea. The clinkless clink of the coin that never clinks was recalled again thi morning, at which time the gang of counterfeiters were arraigned. The arraignment took place in the pres. ence of a full house that had gathered soon after the arrival of the caravan from the penitentiary, that was rilled to its utmost. Jesse Gagnon ejtni Olof Neilson was the iirst to plead. Gognan, up to the hour of his arrest, was an ohscure tiuker in an ob-scure part of the city. He was taken on the stall of the counterfeiters, where he found his knowledge of the art of watchmaking, amalgams, plaster of Paris casts, end gold solutions, which had hitherto been princi-pally ornamental, decidedly useful. Thera was more Profit la Coining 5s, 10s, and twenty dollar gold pieces, even though they lacked the joyous ring of the genuine, than in doing odd jobs, and he fell into his new labors like a natural born counterfeiter. Young and his police finally got into his den, however, and before he had time to concoct a defense, was whirled out to the penitentiary. Then Commissioner Greentuan put his jus- - tice shop on wheels, and going out to the prison held a session. Crestfallen, and seeing every avenue of escape blocked before him Gagnon pleaded guilty and was hold to the action of the grand jury. The result of its action was revealed in his ap-pearance before Judge Zane this morning. In reply to his name there stepped from the prisoners' bench as haudsonio a speci-men of physical perfection as "Mylady" In Bias but sensual blood ever laid eyes. "What do you plead to the indictment?" demanded the clerk in his mechanical way. "Guilty, sir." "Have you an attorney ?" interposed the court with dry judicial solicitude. "No, air." "Do you want one?" "I don't 3ee any need of one," replied Gagnon resignedly. "I've got some lettelS that will show my former good ehararteff and would like you to Bee them before pass-ing sentence." For the first time Gagnon'e voice began to falter and his lip to quiver. The dreams of ambitious youth lay crushed before him and notified that he would be sentenced on Sat. urday he dropped again into his place on the prisoner's bench. Bernard C. Toliiver was the. next counter feiter called and A Tall, Kaw-Itune- d Fellow with his shoulders thrown back defiantly, came forward. Listening with faultless composure to the reading of the Indictment which charged him with passing a twenty-doll- ar counterfeit on his unwary landlady, Mrs. Thomas J. Smith, he v is asked to plead. "Well," replied Toliiver, serving notice on the throng that he was not to die without a stiuggle, "I am guilty of giving her the piece of money unknowingly that is I didn't know it was a counterfeit when I gave it to her. Toliiver had provided himself wtih an at-torney and stepped back to his seat to give way to William Krouk, alias "Denver Bill." Bill, who prides himself on having out- - witted the sleuths ot a ball dozen common-wealths and who is slimy as an eel, was tha first of tue gang To Open the Campaign in Zion and with a twenty-dolla- r counterfeit, on Christmas undertook to buy a turkey from J. A. Perry a huckster whom he had picked out as an "easy mark." He mistook his victim however and was landed in the pei-tentiar- y. "What do you plead?" caroled tho clerk. "Not guilty iter replied the prisoner with the inflection and emphasis of a man who had been tbere before. i "Have you an attorney?" asked the ecu t. "No- sir." "Do you want one V" "No sir," was the sullen reply, but as a twitter ran through the bar he reconsidered and exclaimed, "Yes; I guess I'll take one they seem to be plentiful." Mark King, a fellow with black hair and a sallow complexion, was next arraigned. He is the alleged member of the gang who was Bragged frona the Mint over the Singer block, on Second South. He was easily disposed of entered a plea of not guilty aud informed the court with pardon-able manifestations of pride that he had se-cured the services of Hon. Bam Lewis. Then came P. I). Sprasrue, the recognized leader of the gang and coiner ot the mint, in whose gloouiv castle the deu was located. Sprague looked warm. His vest was unbuttoned and thrown wide apart, revealing a shirt that was fresh from the laundry. He had been captured in Denver and at the time had in his room counterfeits in $5's and $10's amounting to $735. In ad-dition to this he was in possession of the bat-teries, the material, etc., with which the chinkless coin was made. Notwithstand-ing these damning wituesses, the prisoner entered a plea of not guiltv and returned to his seat, annonncing that Judge Powers was his attornev. The gang having each pleaded separately, with the exception of George Tate who is now rooming on bail, they were bunched and Sprague, Krojik, Toliiver aud King pip-ed in concert: "Not guilty." Their cases will be set for trial next week. SETTLING A STRIKE. The Indianapolis xtreet Hallway Placed in a Heceiver'a Hands lie Will Mart the Cars. Indianapolis', March 1. The street rail-way strike was practically settled at mid-night last night, when Judge Taylor of the sup.rior court appointed Thomas Steele, as-sistant superintendent, recently discharged by President Frenzell, receiver of the com-pany.

Fisbbaek, and sets forth that the company bad performed its duty as a com-mon carrier until Frenzell was elected presi-dent; that he is wholly unfit for the posi-tlon- ; that a continuance of the strike will result in bloodshed and in the destruction of property ; that the directors supporting Frenzell arc unlit to operate the company. Receiver Steele will start the cars this morn-ing. Thomas Steel, receiver of the Citizens' Street Railway company, was unable to start any cars this morning as he had secured pos-session of but one barn, the others having been locked up by the company. President Branca went into court this morniug and asked for an injunction against Steel, as tho eomjiajv is perfectly solvent.
