her husband was tearing around the house
hunting for his overshCes and said he would

come of them. She told him she had sold
them TO the rag man and demanded the

CONTROLLED BY J. j. HILL.
Great Northern to BE, I'm Effect, Cob
bIed by It's RivaI-The Atchfson
and the Southern Pacific.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Mail and Ex-
press to-day prints the following: 1.-TWO
gigantic railroad deals involving the North
ern Pacific, the Great Northern and the
Union Pacific on the one hand and the
Atchison and the Southern Pacific systems
on the other hand have just been COM
pletcd and will shortly be announced. This
statement is officially made by one Of the
highest executive officials of the Northern
Pacific Railway. who admits his company
Is about to pass under the control OF the
Great Northern according TO the long
cherished plan OF James ]. Hill. Mr.. Hill.
OF the Great Northern. Is acting in close
harmony with ]. Pierpont Morgan, who Is
the chief factor IN the management OF the
Northern Pacific, and IT is for the purpose
OF putting through the big combination
that the Northern Pacific voting trust has
been dissolved. There is to be no CONSOLE
dation or leasing Of one property TO an
other, for Messrs. Hill and Morgan recog-
nize that the laws of certain Western
States would not permit of such thing.
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Hill, acting with
the Deutsch Bank of Berlin, which has
always been a large owner of Northern
Pacific stock, have pooled their interests
IN Northern Pacific stock and have re-
Gently greatly added to their holdings of
Northern Pacific shares until they now
have majority in the great pool This
Is TO be turned over to the Great North
ern, giving the latter control of it's rival.
The Great Northern, 1t is believed. will
pay for this huge block of Northern Pa
cific stock by the issue of new Great North
ern common stock or by means of a new
security to be determined. The dissolution
of the Northern Pacific voting trust. which
becomes effective on Jan. 1 next instead
OF year later, ds originally proposed. will
permit the distribution of the stock of
the company as above proposed ard en-
able James j. Hill to take control of the
property. Mr. Hill and several of his
friends will enter the directory of the
Northern Pacific, some of Mr.. Morgans
associates in the Northern Pacific will be
elected directors of the Great Northern.
and Union Pacific interests will also have
representatives in the boards of the other
two northern railroads. 1t is in further
ance of this colossal dear that Mr.. Hill
has decided to relinquish the presidency of
the Great Northern to his son, Samuel
j1ill. who is now general manager OF the
company. Mr.. Hill will remain as chair
man of the board of directors"

FOUR WHITES WERE KILLED.
Further Details of the Fight Between
Apaches and MormOns.

CASA GRANDE. Mex, Nov. IA band
OF Apache Indians attempted to drive away
bunch of stock at the Mormon settlement
at this place. The settlers gave chase, and
In the fight which ensued four whites were
killed and several wounded. The Indians
lost ten killed and seven injured. 1t Is said
the raiders were from the San Carlos res
ervation in Arizona, but a message from
there says no Indians have escaped. The
party is probably composed of Chiricahua
Apaches, who fed into Mexico many years
ago when the Indians were rounded UP on
the reservation. No troops were near by,
but a message says that a posse is being
formed to chase the hostiles.

LONDON, Nov 1.-THE fact that SO
conservative paper as Punch devotes a
cartoon this week to the representation of
an American Jockey perched on horses
neck while the trainer says. Now, this
horse is as fit as chemicals can make him;
you have got a galvanic saddle. cleo
trio whip and hypodermic spurs. and If
you shin a bit further up his neck you
ought just to lick anything with hair on"
fairly indicates the length TO which Brit
ish rancor towards American Jockeys has
gone. AS a leading American trainer said
this week, 1T is true Americans use lini-
ments and lotions TO take soreness out of
horses. What a few of the English need
is a lotion to take the soreness cut of a
few of their bad losers"
