At Nantucket to-day John B.
Thomas, a company hand 30 years
of age, whs at work lining the air
way at the head of shall 1 of the
Susquehanna Coal Company. In
some way, as yet unexplaiued, he
slipped from the platform upon
which he was standing and fell
headlong down the shaft a dis
tance of over 900 feet, o the bot
tom. In the fall through the
shaft, which is lined with planks
and rough boards, the body was
completely stripped of all its
ciothiug except here and there i
band about the ankle or wrist and
one shoe still clinging to a foot.
Eyery oone in his body was broken
and the entire body was mutilated
beyond all humn semblance. A
sad circumstance in connection
rtitb the tragic death of Thorns.;
was the fact that on Sunday next
he was to be married to a mostes
imable young lady ot Nantucket.
The 'Trust' , Banditti.
Pacific Rural Press.
We have published a good deal,
first koci iast, with regard to the
"trust"' abuses; but the subject
must be agitated a good deal more
oetbre tiie abuses can b2 righted.
A prcscrher here in 6ml- FraDCisCO
is repoued to hare said in his ser
mon last Sunday:
We have in ur land what art
called "u lists" the Wheat Tins,
the S ig.u Trust, the Coal Trust,
ti e O.l Trust and a host of otheis.
They re be -omingvery numerous
Ihey-aie without soul or con
ienx', and nothing can stand be
fore ; hern; they absorb everything.
They remind me of a great se;

to-day than this accursed
;iust system. There is r
4God reason why coal should cost
$18 ami $20 per ton when it can
be purchaseel at the mines auu at
Seattle for $4 anil S3 per ton.
Coal should never go aboTe.$10
per ton in San Francisco markets.
Why is it that it costs twice as
irueu to build a frame house in
San Francisco as it does in the
Etii Tiie only answer to this is
because the Lumber Trust.
V neu up in Puget Sound a tew
days ago a gentleman told me of a
lumber mill in that place with
unge capacity which was not saw
iug uy a single stick of timber,and
gave as the reason that the proprie
tors were paid $70Ci) per year by a
Lumber Trust of San Francisco
not to work their m;i!. and they
had bound themselves to take this
amount tor seven years for lying
dse. This is highway robberv on
a large scale, and the men who
enter into such tim's ought to bt-
treated as we treat highway
bers.
Upon which the Call remarks :.
These trusts are. nothing but
schemes to swindle tne public.
We have been to ready to form in
corporated companies. We have
an incorporation lor nearly eery
thing. A compaay is organized
and then it is given the privilege
to swiudie the people. No act of
incorporation shou'd be permuted
to exist where the company en
gages in combinations to control
or advance the price of any coin
mouity. And then it should b-j
'naoe a criminal offense to engage
in schemes against the puolic i:i

AKmorTkai He Itilends fo Divide
His Money.
New York Coriespondence Chicago Tribune.
A gentleman wuo is intimately
acquainted wit a Jay Gould and
irequently visits the great magnate;
saui recently : "1 have no doubt
of the truth of the report that he is
to divide his property, and 1 ex
pect to see Mr. Gouid himself
announce it in a day or two. It ia
a fact that cannot be questioned
that Mr. Gould has made up his
mind that his days oi usefulness in
business are oserndlie'Sis gfcMHou..
threw up the sponge and leave the
neici to oilier men. -ouice iwo in
health Mr. Gould frequently refers
to the sudden death oi William 11 .
Vanderbill, and in his conversation
he betrays a fear that his own life
might be cut off quite suddenly.
To his friends Mr. Gould has often
said that Mr. Vandei tult's plan of
dividing his properly before deatli
met with his hearty approbation
and he believed every rich man
should do the same."
"Is Mr. Gould in imminent fear
of death?" saked the reporter.
"O, no." answereel the broker,
"but he is too much of a business
man to take any chances. He has
the utmost confidence in his son
George and knows that the young
man is quite capable of caring for
tiie hulk of the Gould fortune,
which he will receive. Hereafter
the Gould family will not ligure as
daring speculators or projectors of
new railroads and great schemes.
Their efforts will be devoted to
holding the immense fortune
which is now theirs. I understand
that Mr. Gouid will make a formal
announcement of his intentions in
a short time."
Wall-street brokers are figuring
up the extent ol Mr. Gould
wealth. It was recaiied that in
July, IS-S2, when the air was filled
with rumors adverse to Mr. Gould's
financial standing, he had called
into his office three weii-known
gentlemen oi tnis city anil ha-i
exhibited bonds, . ,,;i;ks and other
s-'ctiritit-s standing in his own
name, the lace value, of w hich was
$32,000,IK0. Mr. Gouid's fortune
In-s enormously incieased since
six years ago, and the .general
opinion places his resources at
S 100,000,000. As neai iy as can be
e.-timated the amount is distributed
ii.i.oiu as follows :

It was conjectured among thoso
who are best acquainted with Mr.
Gould that he will retain s;5,000,0tK)
in c.tsh for himself, in case of
necessity, w hile George will g c
the bulk of the fortune. J.isthow
the money will be listi ibutt-d wrs

"When this division is made Miss
Helen Gould, who is a charming
girl, will be, in her own right, the
wealthiest young unmarried girl in
the world. Jay oould does not
repose the confitle.nce in his second
son, Eddie, that he honors George
with, but Eddie is a smart youth
who can be expected to dcuble tho
..mount his f.uher gives him in a
few years. Wall street is anxiously
waiting for Mr. Gould to mako
public his intention, when the
.ncky sharers in his bounty will be
warmlv congratulated.
