The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Nicholson, wife of the Rev. J. E.
Nicholson, of Finksburg, Nd, last
Thursday, was received in Clayton
with much regret. The deceased with
her family, was for many years a resi-
dent of this town, her husband being
the pastor of Ewell NJ. P. Church.
Mrs. Nicholson has been an invalid
for some time, and her death was the
result of lingering illness. She was
in her 58th year. A woman of estima-
BILE qualities, she made many friends
wherever she went. She leaves seven
children, all grown. Interment was

The P. W. and B. Railroad freight
men have had considerable trouble in
handling the immense amount of
freight. They say they never exper-
fenced such shortage in freight cars

trouble more or less, which would in
dicate that the business of the country
is on the increase.

The bridge of the Delaware & Ches-
apeake Railroad, which spans Peach
Blossom Creek, was destroyed by fire
Friday, owing to sparks from a train
igniting the marshes which surround
the bridge. The fire was discovered
by Solomon James, who drove into
town and notified the railroad com
pany's agent there, just in time to
prevent the south-bound passenger
from leaving the depot. James prompt
action probably prevented frightful
accident, as the bridge is on a sharp
curve with a down grade, and cannot
be seen by the engineer of an APP
preaching train until it is so close upon
it that it would be impossible for him
tostop his engine.

SETTLE AT 1913.
Agreement Reached on the Northern
Pacific Stock FURRY.

London, May 28.-Rumors were current
on the stock exchange today that the
AIorganS and Kuhn, Loeb & Co, have
finally agreed to settle with the North
ern Pacific shorts at 153, which is thu
figure previously suggested. Inquiries
made by a representative of the Associ-
ated Press lead to the belief that this
solution of the difficulty will be adopt
ed, though it is not yet actually con-
summated.
J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr-, said:
I'VE can say nothing about the North
ern Pacific situation. We do not know
definitely what will be done" However
a more hopeful feeling prevailed and it
was generally believed that all serious
consequence Of the Northern Pacific
squeeze would be averted by a settle
ment either at 153 or figures whereabouts.
thus enabling the stock exchange COM
mittee for general purposes to abrogate
the suspension of buying in.
J. Pierpont Morgan was more than
busy at his desk in his London Office all
this morning. 1t is not yet decided when
he will sail for America
Mr.. Morgan, Jr., was questioned re-
garding the Copenhagen dispatch to the
London Daily Express saying that his
father was negotiating for the control of
the Union Steamship company of Den
mark. He said.
Really, these rumors are too absurd
We acted as brokers in one shipping
deal, and ever since that affair the pa
pers have persisted in attributing to US
a desire to buy uD every steamship line
in the world. We are tired of denying
such nonsense"

COPIES 4 $40 BILL.
Berlin Paper Publishes Perfect Cut of
U. s. Money.

Chicago, May 2S.-American currency
laws have been violated by a German
newspaper and should its editor appear
in Chicago he would be probably arrest
ed by Captain Thomas I. Porter of the
United States secret service. The
specific charge is the making of a half
tone picture of a $40 bill One of these
pictures cut from a copy of the Berliner
Tageblatt was confiscated by Captain
Porter yesterday. 1t was turned over to
him by a reporter.
The circumstances leading I'D to his
action were unusual They had their
origin in the publication several weeks
ago Of an interview with Director or the
Mint Roberts
This interview was copied by the Ber-
trated the article by a half tone pic
ture Of a SO bill. The reproduction was
so perfect that when cut from the news
paper and held up with only the pictured
side showing it would deceive many. 1t
might even be passed as currency on
ant foreigners, say the government Off
GERS A copy Of that issue of the Ber-
liner Tageblatt was purchased from a
local agency dealing in periodicals.
I'll take charge of that" said Cap
tain Porter, when he was shown the pic
ture- Every counterfeit bill is wanted
at Washington. If there are any more
copies of that paper to be found in Chi
cagO viii cOnfiscate them Anyone who
circulates the~ copies is committing a
felony, though perhaps unknowingly. It
would not be well to let it be generally
known what a good reproduction of a
money certificate can be made by half
tone photography. OF course, so long
as the Berlin editor stays out of the
United States he is immune from punish
diction of federal courts it would be my
duty to arrest him.

FRIsCO's INDEBTEDNESS
win Create a 50-year Gold Refund
ing Mortgage.

New York, May 2S.-The Journal OF
Commerce says:
The st. Louis & San Francisco Rail-
road company has determined to read
lust and refund its bonded Indebtedness
and the underlying bonds secured by
liens upon its system of railroads. For
that purpose it will create a SO year gold
refunding mortgage to a total authoT7z-
ed amount of $85, 0000 00. OF this sum
$62, 500 600 bonds are to be issued and re-
served for refunding purposes and the
bonds not required for refunding are
to be reserved for additions. extensions,
improvements and for additional equip
ment and property The refunding will
not only reduce interest charges but will
enable the company to finance more
advantageously any additions and ex-
tensions of it's system by the sale of
bonds having an established market val
ue, instead Of divisional bonds which the
company has hitherto been compelled TO
sell on comparatively disadvantageous
terms.
on completion of the refunding, the
refunding bonds will be secured by alb
solute first lien upon 1902 miles of rail-
road and the equipment and when the A,
B and G bonds. which mature in 1905
have been exchanged the refunding
bonds will have the security of the first
lien on the main stem from Pacific, "a
miles west from St. Louis.
The earnings Of the st. Louis & San
March 81 show, after interest and divi-
dends and all charges, a surplus of ST.
451,S ST., against 1888. 292 in the same Pc
riod of the previous year. It is esti-
mated that for the year ended June 80,
1901, the total net income available for
payment of fixed charges and dividends
will be no less than $4,0O0,O00, against
estimated fixed charges of 81, 275,000.
The railroad CON pany has agreed to
sell $50, O00 900 of the new refunding
bonds to a syndicate, of which J. & ".
Seligman & Co. are managers. The lat
ter have already completed arrange
ments for the acquisition of about $20,

be exchanged for new I Sunding bonds.
To avail themselves of the privilege of
exchange. holders of underlying bonds
must deposit them on or before July 6
next.
The syndicate managers are also pre-
pared to purchase for cash at certain
stated prices all or any of the under
lying bonds which may be surrendered
