WHISTLER'S APPEAL SUSr
Suit Over Lady Eden's Picture-Painted in
Another Head,

Paris, Dec. 2-The court before which
the appeal of James Men. Whistler, the
painter, has been heard, against for
mer decision compelling him to return
a picture he had painted of Lady Eden,
the wife of Sir William Eden, and to
pay the latter $4,000 damages, has sus-
tained the appeal Of the American art
ist. The portrait of Lady Eden was
painted in 1894 and was exhibited in the
saloon of the Champ DeMars.
A dispute arose between Whistler and
Sir William as to the price Of the pic
ture, Sir William sending the painter a
check which the latter considered to be
for an amount far below the value Of
his work, and the latter thereupon
painted in another head in place of that
of Lady Eden and refused to deliver the
picture. When the case was tried after
Sir William had brought suit for dam
ages, and to compel the delivery of the
work, plaintiffs lawyer produced in
court, in February, 1885, a letter from
Whistler apparently accepting $500 or
$3.50 for the picture, whereupon the
plaintiff contended that the letter was
merely an ironical protest against the
attempt of Sir William to beat down
the original price of $4,000.

CASE or MGR. SCHROEDER.
Vatican Will Neither Approve Nor DIS
approve University Directors Action,

Vatican Will Neither Approve Nor Dis
approve University Directors Action.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The purposes Of
Rome concerning the case of Mgr.
Schroeder of the Catholic university
have been made known to the Catholic
authorities in this country. The in
formation has not come in any official
form, but is said to be none the less
definite and is in the possession of Car
dinal Gibbons and Mgr. Martinelli.
1t is understood that the Vatican will
neither approve nor disapprove the ac-
ton of the board of directors of the
university, as it is felt that such ap-
proval or disapproval would lead to fur
ther irritation and scandal. 1t has been
deemed best to close the whole contro-
versy as speedily as possible and with
out formal orders from Rome, which
would humiliate one side or the other.
The main desire, it is said, has been to
accomplish results with the least possi-
BILE outward agitation.
To that end an understanding has
been reached that Mgr. Schroeder will
resign within the present scholastic
year and probably at an early day. The
resignation will be accepted. Mgr.
Schroeder gave assurances to the uni
versity board that he would resign if
the pope permitted him to do so, and no
further doubt exists as to this permis-
sion being given.

ONE LONELY DESPERATE
Attempts to Rob Passengers on Iowa
Train-Losas His Mask.

Attempts TO hoD passengers on Iowa
Train-Losss His Mask.
Keokuk, Iowa, Dec. 2.-One lonely
desperate, with his face hidden by a
mask and armed with revolver at
tempted to rob the passengers on the
north-bound St. Louis, Keol1uk and
Northwestern train which arrived here
early this morning. A minstrel troupe
and theatrical company were aboard
the cars. The robber got on at La
Grange, Missouri, about forty miles be-
low here. Soon after the train left La
Grange the desperate, who had taken a
seat in the smoking car put a mask on
his face and, drawing revolver, start
ed through the car.
Pistol in hand, he demanded the mon
ey and valuables of the passengers.
There was scramble to get out of his
way, but some of the men in the coach
stood their ground and attempted to
disarm the bandit, who fired three shots
from his revolver, none of which took
effect. He lost his mask in the scuffle
and finally escaped to the platform,
from which he sprang to the ground
while the train was going at full speed
The bandit secured no booty and his
mask is in possession of one of the the
atrical party.

TO QUALIFY AS A BIDDER
GOTERNMENT'S DECISION as TO
SALE OF KANSAS PACIFIC.

This Course to be Pursued in Case of the
Failure of the Reorganization Committee
to Guarantee the Government What is
Regarded as just Figure for Its In
terest.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The government
has fully decided to qualify as a bidder
at the sale of the Kansas Pacific rail
road on December 16 next in case Of
the failure of the reorganization COM
mittee to guarantee the government
what is regarded as fair and just fig
ure for its interest. Whether the presi-
dent and the attorney general, how
ever, will exact the full amount Of the
governments claim Of approximately
$4,000, 900 Is not known.
1t is learned that some days ago the
reorganization committee submitted a
proposition which was positively declin-
ed. What the proposition was has not
been made public. With this exception
no communication bearing on the sub
ject has been made by either party nor
does the government know what the
purposes or plans Of the reorganization
committees are with reference to the
sale.
If no offer which would be regarded
as reasonable is received prior to Tues
day or Wednesday the government will
qualify as a bidder by depositing with
the court a certified check for about
S900000 and SO be in position to protect
it's interests. The sale under the con-
solidated mortgage takes place on Dec
ember Is and on the following day the
sale under the governments lien. Sem
ator Harris to-day expressed the opin-
ion that the Kansas Pacific railroad
would sell for a sufficient sum when put
up at auction to fully compensate the
government after paying the first mort
gage Indebtedness.
Il yesterday submitted figures to the
attorney general he said, Showing
that for the past ten years the average
net earnings of the road have amounted
to s1,200,OOO which is, think good evil
dence of it's earning capacity. When
asked whether he would introduce any
resolution of inquiry bearing upon the
roads Indebtedness, Mr.. Harris replied
that that would depend upon the gov
ernment's attitude in the matter He
added that the government could ex-
pect to collect only its debt of $13,000,0 900
and if that could be assured nothing
was necessary to be done by congress.

GUIsEPpE FuDA HANGAD.
Wife Murderer Weakened a Few Seconds
Before Trap Was Sprung.


Before Trap Was Sprung.
Hartford, Dec. 3-For the fourth
time, the misnomed automatic gallows
hanged its victim at Wethersfeld short
ly before 1880 this morning. Giuseppe
Fuda, convicted of the murder Of his
wife in East Norwalk, February II
last, paid the penalty of his crime and
he died in manner which not only
impressed the prison directors most ia
yorably from It's humanitarian stand
point, but likewise created the same
impression on the other members of
the party legally authorized to witness
the execution. Though Fuda weakened
for few second before the trap was
sprung, necessitating the attending
officers holding him UP, when ''jerked
into the air. his neck was broken, and
it was less than nine minutes when
the attending physician pronounced life
extinct.
Nicidemo IMPOSING, his associate in
the crime, who was sentenced to be
hanged December II, is likewise probab-
~ " pay tue penalty Tor DelnS an ac-
cessory" as despite the fact that Fuda
made written confession a week ago.
that he only was actually guilty Of
committing the deed, and inasmuch
as IMPOSING was an accessory to the
crime, as he lured the woman to the
scene, and according to the law Of the
state he was equally guilty. A brother
of Fuda at a late hour this afternoon
claimed the remains, which resulted in
legal complications, and the interment
will be deferred waiting the outcome.
There is but little doubt, however,
among the prison officials that when
the technicalities are adjusted the re-
mains will be turned over to the
brother.

says that if the plaintiff succeeded at a

an injustice to The defendants to order

ARTHUR d. MO0DY,s CASE.
1t is Urged That He is Suffering from a
Head Injury.


Hartford, Dec. AT an executive
session held at the capitol this after
noon on the requisition asked for by
Governor Black of New York for the
surrender of Arthur B. Moody of New
Haven, Governor Cooke gave no decis-
ion, but continued the hearing until
Monday, December Is. As an executive
session was held but little could be
CLEANED, but it was learned that the
counsel for Moody made an earnest
plea relative to the fact that the stories
that the young man was in New Haven
as a fugitive from justice was not the
real condition, but that he was, as
claimed to be, suffering from an injury
to his head sustained during October
The witnesses to-day were the parents
of the young man and also his brother,
c. A. Moody, all of whom detailed the
condition of the young man after the
accident.
Through Assistant District Attorney
Lindsey of New York the officers ask
ing for the requisition told how Moody
secured one hundred and fifty pictures
from Miss Rowan to dispose of and that
how he returned them, apparently being
unable to dispose of them, but on inves-
tigation it was found that there We're
thirty pictures in the collection which
he did not return. 1t was also told how
he received a negotiable bond which he
was to cash and to purchase stock for
another lady in the Blair Mining COM
pany, but it was alleged that the lady
never received her certificate of stock
presumably purchased A stenographic
report of the evidence was taken and
counsel will present briefs at the next
hearing

TO CONDEMN OTHER OFFICERS.
Those who by Word or Act Approved
Captain Lovering's Conduct.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The judge advo-
cate general of the army, General Lie
ber, now has the Lowering case in hand
and is preparing the reprimand which
will be administered to the captain in
conformity with the sentence of the
court-martial. 1t is said at the war de-
partment that the president and Secre-
tary Alger are dissatisfied with the len
iency shown by the court in this case,
and the reprimand will be so sweeping
in terms as to amount to severe con-
demnation of those officers of the army
who have shown by word or act their
approval of Captain Coverings actions

Leon Gets the Decision.

Bridgeport, Dec. 2.-Casper Leon and
Lew Myers of New York fought fifteen
lively rounds here tonight. Towards
the last Myers clearly showed that he
was becoming tired and was also out
pointed. When the gong sounded in the
fifteenth both men were still at it. The
referee awarded the fight to Leon, but
the decision was received with many
misses as well as cheers.
