HARTMAN VS.. kEENE
Reported Compromise Seems to Be Off
A Briefs Alterations

Cincinnati, June 20.-Sensational allega-
tons in a brief filed here yesterday indi-
cate that the reported compromise be-
tween Hartman and Keene interests and
settlement of the Southern Pacific, is
merely 'rumor. Twenty-six arguments
are advanced in behalf of the appellants
to restrain the Hartman element from
voting the Union Pacific holdings in the
Southern Pacific election, which has been
postponed. Among these arguments are
the following allegations: -
The Union Pacific and Southern Pacific roads
being competitors, it violation of public
policy and for that reason illegal for the Union
Pacific to acquire and maintain control of the
Southern Pacific by purchasing Sand v9ting its
stock. " :. 5-5 "a: Ell
The proof shows that 1t is within the power Of
the Union Pacific to practice abuse and disct1mf-
nations against the. Southern Pacifc and that
iiscrinlina ton has been practiced in making ex-
penditures on the Central Pacific.
From the affdavits it Is shown that twice as
much money has been expended from the earn
ings of the entire Southern Pacific system of
about 5000 miles on the 81 miles Of the Central
Pacific railroad between Ogden and San Francisco
as has been expended on the remaining 5000
miles, and that the immediate purpose OF such
expenditures is to make the Union Pacific line
a direct thru route from Chicago to San Fran
cisco by way Of Omaha and Ogden forSthe pur-
pose of making it the main competitor in trans
continental business OF other transcontinental
lines.
The result will be to give the Union Pacific a
haul over it's entire line between Omaha and Og-
den and the Southern Pacific only the short haul
between Ogden and San Francisco instead of the
long haul its m. in lines from New &Or'

jected, it had been determined to remove

to tear" the building down and recon-

Marquette, Mich. June 20-But a
memory remains of what is declared to
have been the finest residence in the
state. The costly mansion of J. M. Long
year, former mayor of Marquette, has
been demolished, and but a large hole
partly filled with broken brick and sim
liar debris marks the spot where it stood.
The building was demolished, stone by
stone and except for the brick, which
was disposed of to the Newberry furnace
people, the material has been shipped by
rail to Brookline, Mass, the exclusive
suburb of Boston, where it will enter into
the erection of new home for the Long
year family. j.
The residence, It is estimated, repre-
scented an expenditure Of a quarter, Of
a million dollars. It was cons tructed of
Lake Superior sandstone, occupied a COM

A pretty glimpse of Gladstone and
cences of Mr.. George w. E. Russell in
his new volume, the Household of Faith.
1t is well known that their marri ed
life was long honeymoon and that
Gladstone entrusted her with all his
secrets.
The jocose and genial side of the
life of the great premier and his wife
is very attractive. With quaint enjoy
ment Gladstone used to grasp his wife's
hand and sing the refrain of his favor
its .Fiddler's Song
"a ragamuffin husband and a ranti-
polling wife,
Well fiddle it and scrape it through tbs
ups and downs of life"
Gladstone's confidence In his wife
was delightful. At the outset of their
married life Gladstone saw that he was
destined for public career, and gave
her the choice of these alternatives-to
know nothing and be free from respon-
bound to secrecy. Fifty years later
Gladstone said to a friend:
MY wife has known every political
secret / ever mad, ana mas never De-
trayed my confidence"
There was one exception. which
shows the real strength of the rule.
When Gladstone was first member of
the cabinet, his young wife dropped a
word in the presence of some of his col
leagues which implied that she was ac-
quainted with matter of great impor-
lance. Realizing that she had made a
slip, she left the room and wrote note
of apology, which she sent to her nus
band by servant. The reply that came
back was to this effect:
Dearest c. Don't blame yourself. l
don't blame you. It's the only little
mistake you ever made. Your affec-
tionate, w. e. G."
In later years when people tried to
pump Mrs. Gladstone he look of
ignorance was bland and convincing.
well, Mrs. Gladstone what is Mr..
Gladstone going to do about the Irish
church,"
We'll. 1 wonder? What do you
think he ought to do?" And the ques-
toner retired as wise as he came.
