Park Committee that will be wel comed by those, who enjoy spending evenings in the Pnllen Park during the summer. Mr, ('. C. McDonald; chairman of the Light Committee of the Board, stated this morning that the comiiiitte, com posed of himself, and Messrs. Lynn Wilder and .1. S. Wynne, will recom mend to the Hoard the appropriation of $2!j0 to the. Park Committee for the installation of ten arc lights in the Park, according to the propo sition of the Iinleigh Klectric Com pany.' Tlie Klectric Company lias stufed to the officials that it will ugrt-e to furnish free of charge to the city ser vice in Pullen Park for ten arc lights and that the company will install an additional number of incandescent lights of large power throughout the Park, provided the city will pay for the ten arc lights. The company agrees that the arc' lights are to be the property of the city, but that the duty Oi keeping them in repair and in good condition and all expense arising from the use of the lights will devolve iqxra the company. They prom ise that the present trolly line, which furnishes light in the Park will not be used, and that a new and regular six- light line will be put up for the purpose of giving the best service possible in the park. The Tark Committee is composed of Messrs. Pcgrnm. chairman, llogasse and Drewry, and they are understood to favor the acceptance of the Klectric Company's proposition, and will urge the Board to grant the appropriation. It is maintained by those who fa vor this improvement at the park that heretofore the place has not been a desirable one to frequent at night or late in the summer evenings, and that the Purk was not being used to the fullest extent of the purpose for which it Was donated. The placing of the lights ,in the park will certainly rlimiliate this one objectionable fea ture the visiting of those lovey dovey l'ope, Cff.MINAL COURT No Important Cases on This Morning's Docket The session of the Criminal Court today was devoid of any cases of spe cial interest.

CONTENTIONS STATED IN FORCIBLE CLAUSES Preliminary Hearing Will be Had Be fore Judge Slmontoa In Charleston, S. C. on April 17th The Grounds of Defense. Major W. A. (iuthric today filed his answer in the suit of Arents. Duke and otlmrs against the Blnckwell Dur ham Tobacco Company. W. A. Outlirie and the other minority stockholders of the tobacco company. Major XV. A. (inthrie files an answer in his own behalf. His answer is a very lengthy document, covering some twenty-uiiiM pages of type-written matter, exclusive of the exhibits at tached to it. lie bases his defense upon several grounds, as follows: First, that the Blnckwell Do ilia in Tobacco Company, being a solvent go ing eorora.tion. the 1 lilted States Cir cuit. Court has an jurisdiction of the subject matter of the suit: that not even a State Court under the laws of Xorth Carolina, would have nnv ju risdiction to dissolve n solvent going corporation and wind up its affairs and divide its assets among the stock holders for the grounds plainliiis al lege. Second-, that even if the I'nited Stales Circuit Court had jurisdiction of the subject matter of the suit, it ought not to dissolve the corporation and wind ill) its affairs as prayed for by the plaintiffs for any or all of the causes set forth in the bill of com plaint. Third, t Jiu t the onlv competent au thority to deal with this matter is the tjenernl Assembly of North Carolina, acting under a provision of the State Constitution, which vests in the (ien eral Assembly alone the power to re peal the charter of a private business corKiration and to provide for Ihe manlier jn w hii h its business should he wound up. . Fourth, he sets up as bis defense and justification of what he has done was in exercise of his constitutional riirht to petition the tieneral Assem bly to pass a special act repealing the charter of the Blackwell Durham To bacco Company and wimlyp its af fairs under the authority and direc tion of the (Ieneral Assembly. Fifth, lie sets up as further detense that if I'nited States Kiihy Courts hail full and ample jurisdiction ot-r the subject matter of tin- suii. ihe phiintilTs have come into this court ac tuated bv an improper and illegal pur- i pose on their part to merge the Black- well Durrani loliaeeo ( ompauy with the American Tobacco Coinpanv. of which they are officers and ma lingers, in order to create a monopoly in the smoking Jobacco business, in the face of the provision in the constitution of Xorth Carolina denouncing" all mono polies as "contrary to the genius of a free State, ami ought not to In- al lowed." Sixth. In his answer lie goes into the details of the formation of the American Tobacco Company, showing how it was originally organized in tsOO. under the corporation laws of Xew Jersey, and how it has since that time combined. consolidated anil merged into the American Tobacco Company about thirty other corpora tions, partnerships and indhidunl con cerns engaged in the manufacture of cigarettes, smoking tobacco, plug to bacco and cherootes. thereby mono polizing the manufacture of tobacco, lixing arbitrarily the prices of the liuinufiictiired products anil wiping out compel ition among ihe manufac turers in the purchase of leaf tobac co from the fanners in N'onli Carolina and Virginia and oilier States, to the injury of the tobacco fanners who produce leaf tobacco, and without any corresponding benetit to the consum ers of manufactured tobacco. The preliminary hearing as to whether or not the court will appoint n permanent receiver for. the Black well Durham Tobacco Company and continue the present injunction 1 the final hearing of the case on its merits is set for hearing before Judge Simon ton at. Charleston, S. C. on April 17th. THE HIQ0S SIGN WILL STAND lllCdIS ..it ..li . .15 - db.nli ylaza..ii.l$ The Iliggs' Ih-ii lit if ill electric sign in front, of their establishment, will continue to remain in its place and shine. Late yesterday afternoon the .Su preme Court handed down the opinion ill this case. The court held there was error in the trial of the case in Wake Superior Court and a new trial was ordered. The opinion banded down indicates very clearly thai in the new trial that. Messrs. Iliggs and Company will come out winner, and the eiiy !ose its case. The opinion was written by Judge Furehes, who goes into an elaborate discussion of the points nt issue. All of the judges concurred in the opinion execnt Justice Clark, who filed a dis senting one. " I "pon the announcement of the de cision the sign was illuminated in tokefi of the victory and continued to flash its letters till late at night. The majority of the people of the city were with Messrs. Iliggs and Company in wanting the sign to re main. as a matter of enterprise and progress, and the news of the decision was a matter of gi-eat satisfaction. Mirny citizens called nt their big estab lishment and offered warm congratu lations. , -.4. ANSWER WILL BE6IN CANVAS AT ONCE The Auditorium Movement Grows and is Practically an Assured Success. This afternoon in the oftice of Mr. X. X. Jones there will be a niccting of the sjM-cial soliciting committee of I hose who last night formed the 11c eleus of the movement for the early erection of an auditorium in this city, 'flic meeting will formulate plans for a systematic ennuis and an opMrt 11 11 i and every citizen, as nearly as pos sible to contribute toward the organi zation of a' stock company . The shares of stock liae been plac ed at $10 each, and it is believed gen erally that this will lie Hipular w it h the public. There are many of the younger men of the city w ho are 1111 able to take stock in companies where the shares are as high as fllin. and this will afford them the desired opportu nity to take stock. The canvas among the citizens gen erally will be diiidcd aiming the eight members of the committee, and two will Is- assigned to each of the four wards. It is confidently expected that the amount of $2.5.10 raised last night will lie increased to the necessary 1100 within a week if the committee proceeds at once with the work of soliciting subscript ions. There lias been a demand for a fea sible plan for the erection of an audi torium, and it is believed that the movement started last night will meet with general approval by those who are interested (it till in the advance ment of the city s interests. It w;is stated this morning by one of the gentlemen composing the soli citing committee that a motion will lie made at this afternoon's niccting to begin the work of canvassing to morrow morning, and to make 11 liouse-lo-honse canvas where it is thought that the resident is able to take stock and where it is a resident who will be parlicularlv bcnclittcd by tin- erection of an auditorium. .Inst where the auditorium will be erected or what manner of building it will be will be determined bv those who comprise the loinnanv. All that can be stated definitely at this time is that every effort of the committee will be exerted towards obtaining the necessary capital, that the andiioriuin will be erected, and that it will be 1 he work of men who are interested in the city, and who deserve ihe consid eration of tin' people of 1,'alcigh gen erally.

A doiccTi or niori are lights may be placed in the park mill in this way it will be made a pleasant resort on summer evenings. Whether the placing of the lights in Ihe purk will tend Ut increase the popularity of Ihe place among those who believe in "iwo's company and three's a crowd" seems to be a iues tion for discussion. However thai may lie. there is e.ery reason to lie lieve that the placing of a dozen an lights of great ivver in the park w ill greatly improve the reputation of the place and make it such 11 resort as ii was originally intended for by the io nalor. Speaking of lights recalls the report of the Light Committee published y es terday afternoon. The reton stated that for two mouths the service had been "as perfect ns could Is expect ed."
