UNION PACIFIC WAGES.
Employees Can Ges No Concessions-The
PittsbIrg Strikes

OMAHA, Feb. 5.-The conference between
Manager Dickinson and the grievance commit
tee OF the Union Pacific today was short and
ineonelusive. Dickinson refused 10 discuss
the proposition for a general increase in
wages, and the employees withdrew with
out presenting minor complaints. They
nave appointed a press committee, who make a
statement 10 the effect that the committee sub
mltted a new schedule OF wages more than a
week ago, and that at the conference Dickinson
made q statement bllrporting to give the aggre-
gate increase of wages under the proposed
schedule. According TO his own statements the
figures are based on the service of the three
busiest months OF the year. Estimates by the
indicate that the aggregate increase
VIII not exceed 60 Per cent. Of the sum named by
Dickinson.
Tn committee proposed a discussion of the
new schedule, article by article, but Dickinson
positively refused 10 entertain the proposition
for an increase OF wages until the schedule had
been Withdrawn. That would have left the
committee without cause. The members felt
aggrleved at the geant courtesy shown them as
representatives OF a great organization OF rail-
way men. Dickinson has resolved to appeal to
General Manager Clark. He will meet the rail-

BY THE COMMON LAW.
Mrs. Mclaughlin a Wife With
out a Ceremony.
JUDGE LlcHTENsERG's RULING.
The Case to Be Appealed-Fixht over
Ia Fave's Essate-suft to Compel
Payment of Railroad Stock.

Judge Lichtenberg decided yesterday in the
case involving a dispute over the settlement of
the estate OF II. c. Mclaughlin, that I'm This
state there may be a marriage under the COM
rson law without any formal determination of
the union The evidence in the case. which was
heard on Thursday, went to show that the
woman claiming TO be M~eLauehlin's viaow
husband living. She afterward secured a d.
yorce from her husband and continued TO live
with Mclaughlin, although no other marriage
cermony was ever performed. They were gem
e.alIy believed to be man and wife.
Yesterday morning Norman F. Hesseltine. the
attorney representing McLaughlin's daughter
and opposing the claims of the lady known as
Mrs. Mclaughlin, argued the case before Judge
Lehtenberg. He based his argument on a
statute of this state, which prescribes by whom
and in what way marriages may be solemnIzed,
maintaining that there can, therefore, be no
marriage unless there il a determination of it
conducted by some person authorized. Judge
Lehtenberg, however, construed the law Elf
fsrently, holding that in the absence of a
statute expressly requiring determination the
rule must be obtained by reverting to the pre-
existing law. In giving his opinion, the court
quoted extensively from authorities. In Eng
land, after a great deal of controversy, ii had
finally been decided that Determination was re-
Quisite. In thls country, however, 1t had been
held differently IN most of the states, and he
was guided by these decisions.
Following this ruling the court declared tina
lady, whose wifehood was disputed, to have
been the legal wife of Mclaughlin, and granted
her petition to have Frank A. Pontius appointed
administrator Of the estate, upon his giving
bond in the sum of 10000. Mr.. Hesseitine gave
notice OF appeal 10 the supreme court.
The question passed Upon by Judge Lichten-
berg has never been decided, and for that reason
the case is d very interesting one. Local attor.
neys are divided in opinion as to the existence
OF q marriage.
