AMONG RAILROAD MEN
Lack of Significance in the Elec-
ton of Kennedy.
NO SCHEME is BEHIND 1T
The Northern Pacific Guarding Against
Frequent Changes in Manage
ment - Hill Will Have to
Reckon With Morgan

The following from the Minneapolis
Times in reference to the significance,
or rather the lack of any special sig
nificance, of the election of John S.
Kennedy to the Northern Pacific board
of directors, bears out the statement
made to a Standard reporter by a
prominent official of the Northern Pa
cific Monday night:
New York newspapers and Dispatch
es from New York to western journals
appear to attach considerable import
ance to the election of John S. Ken
nedy to the Northern Pacific directory.
A studied attempt is apparently being
made to convey the impression here
that James ]. Hill is strengthening his
hand in his effort to secure control of
that property.
There was a vacancy in the board
caused by the recent death of John G.
Moore of the brokerage firm of Moore
& Schley, New York. Mr.. Moore was a
particular business friend of Mr.. Hill.
So also is Mr.. Kennedy. Mr.. Kennedy is
reputed to be large individual owner
of Northern Pacific stock. Mr.. Moore
was reputed to be in position to infiu-
ence a considerable portion of the same
stock for the advancement of Mr.. Hills
interests.
I'm the judgment of certain people in
this locality, who are presumed to have
some knowledge of Mr.. Hills true rela-
tioQs to the Northern Pacific there is
no apprehension existing that he will
be able to advance any further in his
schemes for consolidation by the aid of
Mr.. Kennedy than was possible with
the assistance of Mr. Moore. 1t is sug-
gested by one familiar with the circum-
stances that j. Pierpont Morgan is in
varably master in all the enterprises
with which he is conspicuously identi-
fed and that Mr.. Hill has become cog
infant of that fact that more than
u months ago he accepted the situation
forced on him by reason of this knowl-
edge with as much grace as it was
possible for him to display, and that if
Mr. Hll's knowledge of Mr.. Morgan's
strong points was extensively acquired
the fault was rather due to the eXplor-
ing tendencies of Mr.. Hill than to any
voluntary exhibition of his own reserve
force on the part of Mr.. Morgan.
IN speaking Of the matter yesterday
an official of the Northern Pacific closer
to President Mellen, perhaps, than any
other in St. Paul, said: The policy of
the Northern Pacific directors has been
to choose a board of trustees. The
board consists of five, and in them the
directors repose entire confidence. This
action results from a desire to guard
against frequent changes in manage

MET MANY OLD FRIENDS
A Reception in Honor of Rt. Rev.
d. s. Tuttle.
GREETED THE PIONEERS
Father Venneman and the Bishop
Travelled Many Miles Together
in the Old Days of the
Sixties.

The ladies of st. Johns church held a
reception last night at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. w. Tilton in honor of
Missouri. The bishop leaves to-day for
Deer Lodge and other cities west of
here.
During the bishops brief visit in
Butte he has had the pleasure of meet
ing many of his Montana pioneer
friends, whose acquaintance he formed
in the COS in Virginia, Bannack, Boze-
man, Deer Lodge and Helena. He was
standing on the steps of the library
building Monday evening talking with
a number of friends, when Colonel San
ders, seeing Rev. Father Venneman APP
proach in company with General c. D.
Curtis, interrupted the conversation
with:
Here. bishop, shake hands with
Father Venneman."
The bishop DOTTED his straw hat, and,
extending his hand toward the venera-
BILE priests outstretched hand, greeted
him:
Father, I am glad to see you again.
How are your"
Colonel Sanders looked on in semi
bewilderment and exclaimed:
Met him before, bishop?'
Before the bushop could answer the
father replied for him:
Indeed, many a mile have we ridden
together in the old stage coach of Mon
tana."
The two ministers of the gospel were
soon engaged in pleasant conversation,
while the little crowd listened atten-
lively Father Venneman is now resi-
dent of Ohio, but he, like Bishop futile,
was an early-day resident and Chris
tan worker in Montana. The father
was the only minister of the gospel who
sat on the stage at the public reception
to Bishop Tuttle. 1t was expected that
the clergy of the city would occupy
seats on the stage that evening, but
through an oversight or misunderstand-
ing none were there except the visiting
priest.
Father Venneman will remain in
Butte for several days The father was
probably the first Catholic priest to hold
services in Unionville, a dsintegrated
mining camp four miles up Orc Elmo
gulch. south of Helena. He used to
preach to the good miners and their
families in the dining room of Pat Pow
ers boarding house. The Catholic la
dies of the camp always arranged a
beautiful altar for the visiting priest,
and the dining room on Sunday morn
ing and evening was crowded. Bishop
Tutte has also visited Unionville. Epis-
copal services used to be held in the old
log school house. Mrs. Samuel j. Jones.
wife of the superintendent of the Union
mine, has been and still is one of the
leading workers in the Episcopal
church in Montana. Unionville never
had a church building.

May, 1896, yesterday petitioned the
court to appoint C. S. Jackman as ad-
ministrator of the estate.
Judge Clancy held a short session of
court yesterday for the purpose of hear
ing motion made by the defendant for
continuance of the trial OF the case
of the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany against the Boston IL Montana
company. which had been set for Tues
day, the 4th of this month. The de-
PENDANT presented affidavits to show
that by reason of the fact the company
was enjoined for period of 18 days by
the plaintiff and thus prevented from
doing necessary development work for
the purposes of the trial. II could not
be ready to go on with the trial. The
motion for a continuance was opposed
and a witness for the Montana Ore
Purchasing company testified that the
defendant had continued development
work in spite Of the injunction, but this
was denied by other witnesses for the
defendant. Judge Clancy granted con-
tinuance and put the setting of the trial
off until Aug. II.
The county attorney was granted I'M
til July 20, to which date Judge Clancy
adjourned his court, to file informations
against Clara Ward, Fred Boyson and
Earl Bond.

ment. The board is named for five
years. Each director pledges himself
to abide by the decisions of that board,
and agrees not to attempt to interfere
by way of dictaton. This / know to
be fact. Further than that no one
knows in the employ of the road. The
present board will run until the fall of
1901. The policy they adopt in the
meantime will not be liable to change.

venture that is little more than a guess.

sufficient latitude to secure control

standing. / know further that the cleo
tion of Kennedy will not prevent the
Northern Pacific from waging war on
the Great Northern, provided the latter
insists on getting gay in the matter of
rates. If the Great Northern believes it
can take certain liberties with i'm
punity it has another guess coming.

every point
Il have reau the denial of Mr.. Hill
that he has any connection with the
Wisconsin Central" said a we'll known
railroad man to Pioneer Press re-
porter, "and there is no doubt that he
stated his position fully. 1t would be
a foolish undertaking for him to pos
sess this road. 1t would antagonize
all of the other Chicago lines; it would
not benefit the Great Northern, and
would result in the loss of a large
amount of business which that road
now obtains from the other lines. Mr..
Hill is not likely to sacrifice the inter
ests of the Great Northern. nor is it
likely that he would make any effort
to establish a transcontinental line
through a Wisconsin Central connec-
ton. He already possesses transcon-
continental system, and as l under
stand it, he is devoting his energies to
its further perfection. His road oper-
ates from the Pacific coast to Duluth.
thence to Buffalo through the Western
Transit company's line of steamers. and
thence to the seaboard by rail. He is
anxious to make his lake line profit
bearing. To do this he is interested in
throwing business to it instead of buy
ing up another line and reducing his
lake trade. Mr.. Hills schemes are all
right, and when he gets his Oriental
steamship line in operation he will not
be long in making his lake line develop
profits"
Frank Wadleigh. formerly general
passenger agent of the Rio Grande
Western, came in over the Midland last
night, says the Denver News. Il don't
think the people care very much
whether I am connected with the road
or not, and l don't care to say any
thing about my resignation" he said.
Go back? Well-I-guess-not and
Mr.. Wadleigh looked entirely aston
ished at the thought. Il will take a
short trip East" he continued, and
then settle down for few weeks rest.

about"

was large, the editiCe being filled al

affair, being pronounced mastery eff
fort and the best ever attempted by the
eminent divine. A superb choir rend-
cred appropriate selections and the
floral contributions were remarked by
