SETTLE RAILWAY FIGHT.

New York. Nov. At was officially
stated tonight that an agreement had
been made whereby the tangle in the
Northwestern railroad situation re-
sulting from the corner of Northern
Pacific shares on the Stock Exchange
early in May, and which caused the
panic OF May 9th. will be settled. OH
Gals connected with the various COM
panles interested absolutely refuse to
give out any statement in regard to
the agreement. 1t was stated on good
authority. however, that the settlement
involving the widespread interests OF
the Union Pacific, Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, would be based pri-
marlly on the retirement of the North
ern Pacific preferred stock on basis
OF ll5 or above, and the issue OF AZ
per cent bonds, one-third OF which,
1t was stated, would be allotted to the
Union Pacific interests.
The crux of the reported agreement
lay in the proposed division of terri
tory whereby the railroads mentioned
shall have complete traffic agreements
regarding a certain territory In the
country tapped by those lines. II is
generally understood that this plan of
settlement awaits the approval OF w.
X. Vanderbilt, who is expected to ar
rive from Europe on Wednesday q

Dis De BAR TRIAL

London. Nov. THE hearing OF
the charges against Theodore and Lau-
"a Jackson (Ann O'Delia Diss de Bari,
vas resumed at the Marylebone Police
Court today before crowded court
room.
The clerk Of the court informed a
representative OF the Associated Press
that enough witnesses have been sum
moned to keep the case going for
weeks,
There were no women In the audi
ence today. Laura Faulkner continued
her testimony, which was largely a re-
iteration of that previously given. The
most dramatic incident today was
when Laura Jackson began her Gus
tomary badgering REORGANIZATION OF
the witness, who turned. pointing her
finger at the female prisoner, vehe-
mently denouncing her as the author
OF her ruin. In spite OF its melodra-
matte tinge the incident aroused loud
applause. whereupon the presiding
Judge threatened to clear the court.
The occurrence seemed to shake the
nerves OF the female prisoner and hel
subsequent conduct of the case was not
marked by the ability which she has
heretofore displayed.

BALKED ON DEcOLLrTTB.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 3.-Father
Anton j. Decker. of st. Anthony's
Church, declined to administer com.
munion to bride at her wedding GER.
emony because she wore decoliote
wedding gown. The house of Worship
was filled with friends and relatives
o. the happy couple. The wedding GER
emony had been performed and the
mass had been sung. but when the
time came FOR administering the com.
munion to the bride the priest went
ON through the mass without stopping
ior that part OF the ceremony.
Upon being asked why he neglected
that most important part of the cere.
mony, Rev. Father Decker told the
bride he would not give communion
To one wearing a dress like that which
she wore. The bride blushed deeply
and broke into tears, and her husband
was annoyed and nonplussed. At last
one OF the maids OF honor ran from
the sanctuary and soon appeared
bringing a shawl. which was spread
over the bare neck and shoulders OF
the newly made wife, and the priest
then consented to administer the cher
isned communion.
The church is the most select of the
Catholic congregations on the South
Side. The bride, Edyth Bergen, is the
daughter OF a wealthy department
store owner and the groom, Edw. J.
Filger, was able to take his bride to a
nome newly built at cost OF $4,000.
