PEACE IN PROSPECT,
Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line
Will Get Together.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-There is a
strong probability that the row be-
tween the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short line will be settled finally. 1t
was the general opinion Of all of the
Western roads that the matter had
been settled for good, but some
days since, when they at
based on this presumption, it was
announced by the Union Pacific that
the settlement of the troubles between
it and the Oregon Short line did not
extend to business through the Ogden
gateway. This was an eye opener to
the Western roads and they set out to
learn just what was the trouble and
asked the Union Pacific if one of it's
officials could not come to Chicago for
the purpose of meeting the other roads
and make an effort to adjust the trou-
bles. A prompt reply was today re-
ceived from General Passenger Agent
Lomax, of the Union Pacific, saying
he would arrive in the early part of
next week and would be prepared to
settle the trouble between the Union
Pacific and the Oregon Short line if
some other matters in which the
Union Pacific is interested are given
attention by the other Western roads
A promise was made that the other
matters would receive the attention
asked by Mr.. LomaX, and it is now
the opinion of all of the Western lines
that at the meeting to be held next
week, all the trouble which has caused
SO much decentralization during the
last three months is at last in a fair
way to be finally disposed Of
Announcement was made today by
the Burlington road of it's intention
to continue the running Of harvest
excursions to points in the West,
Northwest and Southwest during the
remainder Of the year. The rate for
these excursions will be one fare for
the round trip plus 81. They will be
run Nov. and 16 and Dec. 7 and 81.
The 500 line in making reduced rates
for the convention of the Women's
Christian Temperance union at To
ronto, carried the rates to Buffalo,
and the Great Western today an
nounced that it would meet the Buff
falo rates of the 500 line via Chicago,
and would keep the rates in effect
until Oct. 26. 1t is likely that the
other Chicago-St. Paul lines will make
the same rate.

CAR ROBBERY CASES.
Loss to the Southern Railway Of
100000

CHATTANOOGA Tenn, Oct %. - The
most remarkable car robbery case on record
in the South came to an end at Dalton, Ga,
today in the superior court, Judge Alonzo
Fite presiding. During the past three weeks
eighteen robbers charged with systematically
loottng cars on the Southern railway the
thefts extending over a period of five years,
have been tried and found guilty. The ring
leader, Walter Bohannon, was convicted IN
five cases. and was today sentenced by the
court to ten years in the penftent1ary. His
gang, Tom Kinneman, Ben Pearce, Sam
Painter, Lutte White, Bill Long and Ed Nor
ris, the latter colored, received sentences
from three years to one year Jim Parry, ex-
member of the gang, who turned states evi-
dence and gave the gang away, was not
sentenced, and it is probable that under the
recommendation of the superintendent of the
sentence will be very light.
The merchants convicted Of receiving stolen
goods from the robbers are as follows all
prominent in business and social circles in
Dalton and North Georgia: G: NJ. Cannon
T. P. Peoples, j.. r. Bender, Anderson Gid
dens, Clee Combee, G. W. Horan, w. B.
Carson, j. Krke Farrall, Ed Roberts and
Jess Bangston.
Today the court sentenced all these mer-
chants to pay fines ranging according to their
ability to pay, from 81, 900 down to $25, and
one year on the chain gang, the latter SEN
tence to be suspended on payment OF the
fines and costs. On account Of the robberies,
Of which these suits were the result, the
Southern railway claims to have paid dam
ages to consigners amounting TO $4,000 dur
ing the five years the gang were making
their depredations.

out by Fred Whitman, and early this morn
ing had not recovered consciousness. Hawk
ms ms and Whitman were to fight ten rounds, at
~ pounds. Hawkins had the worst of il
Tor tve rounds, and was weak when the
round ended. He did not remain on his feet
long in the sixth, although no one seemed to
know just how he was rendered unconscious.
AT any rate ne went to the floor during an
eXchange of blows and had to be carried to
MS corner where for i've minutes his seconds
maze vain efforts to restore him to conscious
ness. He was finally carried off the stage
and the announcer called the next bout This
was between Teddy McGovern and Eddy
Goodbody, but this contest was stopped by
the police soon after it had begun. doctor,
who happened to be in the audience, attended
Hawkins, and he was finally taken to hos
pital, still unconscious. The police arrested
everyone connected with the affair, inc.ud-
ing the seconds and the club Off ficials. 1t was
said that Hawkins was in no condition to
enter the ring. At the hospital at midnight
it was said that the injured boxer was still
unconscious and that his condition was very
dangerous.

WHAT WAS LACKING IN QUANTITY
AT LOUISVILLE SUPPLIED IN
QUALITY.
AN IDEAL DAY FOR RACING.
TIE SPORT ENJOYED BY AN AUDI
ENCE OF FOUR THOUSAND
PEOPLE.
FINISHES ALI UNUSUALLY CLOSE.
Driver Dumped while Trying to Get
Out of Pocket and Seriously
Injured.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 23.-There
were but two events on the card at
the Louisville Driving and Fair asso-
citation meeting this afternoon, but
what was lacking in quantity was
made up in quality. The day was an
ideal one for racing, with the track
fast, and the sport was enjoyed by
1000 people. The first race was one OF
the most exciting of the meeting, the
finishes being unusually close. Pilot
Boy won three out Of four heats, max
ing the first in 2:09%. The second heat
was won by William Penn in 2:O8A,
which was within few seconds OF the
track record. In the fourth heat Driver
Richard Curtis, in trying to get out OF
a pocket at the three-quarter pole,
threw Penn off his feet, and the driver
was thrown from the sul1y, sustaining
a sprained ankle, while the horse suf-
fered a cut on the left hind leg. Will
liam Penn ruled favOrite in the first
heat 4 to 5, Dan Cupid being second
choice at even money. Pilot Boy, who
won the heat, went to the post with
the odds at to l. He was the favor
ite in the next three heats, in the last
selling for $25 and the field SIS at the
pooling. Considerable money was wa
gered on Grace Hastings to beat Fred
B, but she proved a disappointment
to her hackers.
In the second race, the 2:20 pace, Sal
lie Toler was a hot favorite, and won
in three straight heats. The greatest
interest in this race was centered in
Quadriga, Nora L and William Mac
for second money, each finishing sec
ond, third and fourth. Second, third
and fourth money was divided. Sum

"With rings on her fingers and rings on her
toes" is an old way for fair woman to go
to market, but the fashion of wearing rings
on her finger nails was left for the fin de
steele young woman of 1897 to inauguratR.
There are not many young women as yet, it
is true whose desire to show how unsullied
by toll their hands are has led them to put
diamonds at their finger tips, but every now
and then one sees a girl on the street car or
in fashionable store, who acts self-con-
sciously and keeps her ungloved fingers half
inclosed in their palms. Watch her closely,
First thing you know she will wave her
hand and little sparkles of light will rush
out at you. Then if you smile and make a
remark TO your companion you will see
the fair lady hurrtedly hide her finger tips
again, and be thoroughly unsuccessful in
her attempt to appear unconcerned.
Finger nail jewelry is about the latest
thing that manufacturers of gemmed novel
ties have brought out. There are both rings
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-24

and pendants, and they are made in quite
a number of FORMS but all of them have
just as light a setting as is consistent with
the safe fastening of the stones. The pend
sants most affected consist of two or three
fine gold chains instead of by solid bars.
That makes them less awkward to the
wearer and also more effective when they
are flashed.
The jewels are attached to the nails by a
screw arrangement such is often used for
diamond earrings. The nails do not have to
be especially long, but great care must be
taken in perforating them, and that Is an
operation which is usually left to a manicure.
New holes must be made every week or two,
and the more common practice is to transfer
the gems from one finger to another when
ever new hole must be made. When rings
are used instead of pendants, they are
usually only about half the diameter of the
ordinary finger ring, and are studded all
around with very small stones.

MOSCHECK SAYS ITS TRUE.

Moscheck wouldn't talk about the

He said there was a good deal of truth
in the charges. There are a whole lot
