The Llano school district, which re-

heinous offense. Hon. James McLach-

has during the past two days intervie wed
the district attorney and every one of his

with this case, in his efforts to get off his
client. So far, it must be said to the
credit of the Office. that has not vet been
successful, and even the specious argu-
ment that it would be best, in the inter-
est OF public morals, to allow Mayne to
marry his victim rather than to punish
hin for his outrageous crime, has had no
effect, and the officers are standing as
firm as q stone wall in the matter. Mrs.

30 far, is the only concession that has
been obtained. An effort has also been
made to reach Mr.. Wright, who has the
girls in charge. This gentleman is out

represented to him that if be would let
up Mr.. McLachlan had a position for him
and could put him at work. Mr. Nc

this promise was made without his

Altogether the case is assuming very

interests require that he shall be pro-

but the matter is being investigated. In

Suit to AnnuI the Pierce.Shaf-

ONLY $4,000 WAS EVER PAID
Trying to Bring Pressure to Bear on the
District Attorneys Offlce-charged
With Rape-court Notes

A complaint was yesterday filed with
tho county clerk IN the case of W. H.
Perry, H. W. Hellman and W. J. Brod-
xiok, trustees OF an express trust, against
the Union Trust company of San Fran
CISCO. This is the beginning of proceed
ines to strengthen out the alleged sale OF
the Los Angeles City Water company
to Robert b. +. Pierce and John G..
Shaffer, for which a contract was entered
into April IS, 1898. and to return the
stock to,ths various shareholders according
to their holdings. Messrs. Pierce an
Shaffer, it will be remem bered, are a
couple Of Indiana capitalists who came
to Los Angeles for the purpose of pur-
chasing the City Water works, the price
agreed upon being $2,o0o,O 900. Fifty
thousand dollars was paid by Messrs.
Pierce and Shaffer to M axe good the bar
gain. whereupon the stock of the corpo-
ration, together with that of the side cor
poration, the Crystal Springs company,
with tho exception OF forty shares which
were transferred to Shaffer, was trans
ferrsd to Messrs. Perry, Holman and
Brodrick in trust to be turned over to
the purchasers on the payment OF the
balance due. $500, 900 on September 80,
1898; $3.50, 900 on or before the LIST of jan
uary, 1894, and the balance on or before
the 1st day OF Nav. 1894. These de-
ferred payments were to be made to the
Union Trust company of San Francisco.
As stated, Messrs. Pierce and Shaffer
paid the 10000 cash. and this is all
they ever have paid. They have not even
paid the interest on the deferred pay
ments. and for some months past have
not even honored the state with a visit.
As the time for making good their con-
tract has expired, and there apparently
being no REASON to suppose that they pro-
premises, the trustees have taken the
necessary legal steps to straighten out the
tangls and restore the property to the
owners.

ST. PAUL. MINI, Nov. 3.-The strike
situation on the Great Northern seems to
have resolved itself into a fight among
about twenty discharged men for reinstate-
ment, which they find impossible except
through drawing the whole A. r. U. into
the trouble. Rumors that strike would
be inaugurated on the Montana Central, a
leading branch of the Great Northern sys-
TEN, at noon proved untrue, as all trains
on the whole system were running up to
10 o'clock tonight.
Sylvester Keliher, secretary of the A. R.
u, who has been prominent in the at
tempt to get an interview with President
Hill, has been in communication with
President Debs for the past two days, but
the latter has refused so far to advise a
strike The fact is that the members on
the Great Northern have it in their own
power to say whether or not they shall
strike. Keliher said this afternoon that
they would certainly strike, but the en-
pioYes have made no move in the direc-
tion of a strike, and the circular of General
Manager Warren last night that any man
leaving the employ of the company would
not again be employed has had the effect
of making the men think twice before
striking.

JOHN BRENNAN SCORED.
8ishcP 8onacUm Resents the Introduction
of Religious Issues into Ne
brasku Politics.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Nov. 3.-The follow
ing is sent out by Bishop Bonacum to the
priests of this diocese under date of No
vember g:
Reu. and Dear Sir: am informed that q
man named John Brennan, who is editor of
so-called Catholic newspaper at Sioux City,
Iowa, under the name of Northwestern Catho-
lie, is endeavoring to SOW religious discord in
this State and diocese by issuing papers or cir
culars of an infammatory character to our
clergy and laity, urging them to political ac-
tion in the impending election. In the paper
above referred to the said Brennan also calum-
mates some of our most illustrious citizens.
AS there is no religious question involved in
the State campaign in Nebraska this year. and
as the best policy to pursue toward those mis-
guided men known as the American Protective
Association is to ignore them entirely, l must
regard the appeal OF this man Brennan as not
only inopportune, but also impertinent.
While not desiring to infringe in the least on
your individual right of suffrage, it is my wish
(and in this wish but re-echo the DEGREES of
the third Plenary Council of Baltimore, No. 83)
that you abstain absolutely from all political
agitation, being mindful that you are q debtor
'to the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the
wise and to the unwise ,Romans i:14).
am, Rev. and dear sirs, your obedient serv-
ant in the Lord,

Reconciliation Between Willie K.
and Wife to Occur at the
Wedding.
DESIRE TO FORGET THE PAST.
Mutual Overtures for a Settlement of
the Disruption Made Through
Friends.

NEWPORT. R. l., Nov. 3.-Mr. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt have arranged to
close their villa this week. This is much
earlier than they usually leave, but this
ature departure is owing to the ap-
preaching nuptials of Miss Consuelo Van
derbilt and the Duke of Marlborough.
This decision has been very sudden, as up
to few days ago they had intended TO
stay until after Thanksgiving.
But behind it all, persons in q position
to know state that the wedding will have
double significance. 1t means, virtually,
the reconciliation of the entire estrange-
ment in the Vanderbilt family. Although
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt have
not as yet received an invitation to the
wedding breakfast, fact which has net
tied them considerably, it is now probable
that they Will attend after ali. Friends on
all sides have brought great pressure to
bear on Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, and
as an outcome of the overtures which have
been already made, this partial reconcilia-
tlon has taken place, and the breach will
be entirely healed at the marriage.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
have entered most heartily into the spirit
OF the occasion, for, say knowing friends,
they desire that in years to come it shall
be said of them that they were loyal to
their family on the occasion of the greatest
event in its history.
AS matter of fact the family likes the
marriage, not merely for the prestige
| which it brings but as the balm of Gilead,
which is to heal all disruption. The cor
| respondence between William K. Wander
bilt and Mrs. William K, while not of an
open nature, has now been carried on for
considerable time through friends, and
both have expressed desire to forget the
past. The direct reconciliation will take
place at the wedding breakfast after the
| nuptials.
