and Charges Are Dismissed.

London, Aug. 2-Tne summons is
sued to Herbert Sanguineti against
Lady Jessica Sykes, wife of Sir Tatton
Sykes, the well known Yorkshire
baronet, her ladyship being charged
with obtaining by false pretenses
checks to the value of G500 and also
with converting to her own use 200
shares of stock, was Withdrawn at the
Marlborough police court today, the
prosecution stating that exceptions had
been received and Sir Tatton Sykes
was prepared to meet all the liabilities
of his wife.
1t appears also that the misunder-
standing was occasioned by the fact
that her ladyship's broker had not kept
her acquainted with her exact position
in regard to certain transactions.
This is not the first time Lady Sykes
has been before the public as a result
of financial disputes. Early in Deem
Der, 1896. Sir Tatton advertised that
he would not be responsible for his
wife's debts. Lady Sykes had then
been the cause of quarrel between
her husband and Lord Marcus Beres-
ford. Her ladyship commissioned the
latter to purchase the famous mare La
Fleche at the sale of Baron Hirsch's

Will Case.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Richard " Dey
in whose hands the 100000 contract was
said to have been placed. was called to

case was resumed today. He stated that
after the departure of Mrs. Craven for
the east in February. 1895. he met Ste
phen Roberts. the agent of that lady.
with the view of coming TO some agree
ment whereby she might be induced to
relinquish her claims to part of the Fair
estate Roberts argued that as Mrs.
Craven had persuaded Senator Fair TO
make a will in favor of the children, in
stead of tying I'D the estate, and also
giving Charles Fair 100000 to make up
for what he did not receive from his
mother, she ought to receive $1,000. 900.

Craven was to receive that amount when
the document dated Sept. 2, 1895, had been
admitted to probate

western railroad official and general
manager of one of the railroads lead
ing west from the Mississippi river,
passed through here last evening on
the Rio Grande Western, en- route east

the northwest. In reply to a question
from the Associated Press correspon-
dent as to his opinion of the report
that the presidenty of the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern railroad had been
offered to President Jeffrey of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and
that President Jeffrey has the offer
under consideration, the gentleman
said: 1.-The recent death of President
Caldwell of the Lake Shore road was
a great loss to one of the great roads
of the Vanderbilt systems. The Van
derbilts invariably select for the serv-
ice of their roads, and especially for
executive officers, those who are in
their service. S. r. Galloway, who is
now the president of the New York,
Chicago & ST. Louis railroad (Nsickel
Plate) will at an early day be chosen
president of the Lake Shore road. Mr..
Galloway is one of the great railroad
executive officers of the United States
and the people of tine country west of
the Missouri river know him, as he
was a few years ago, the vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Union
Pacific system when that railroad
controlled from the Missouri river TO

Yes, Mr.. Samuel Galloway
will be the next president of the Lake
Shore road. As TO who will be Mr..
successor, l take it that
either Mr.. Caniff, the present general
of the Lake Shore road can
have the Nickel Plate presidency if he
will accept of it. You can rest as
sured that the Vanderbilts are rot
