POLICE COURT D0INCS
Young hen Fined in Burglary Cases
 -Another Doa Row.

The continued case against George Collins and Raymond Holohan for burglary, and second case of the same character against Holohan were called in the city court to-day. The second consisted of his entering a cobbler's shop on Walnut street and taking a pair of shoes owned by Mat thew Doyle. Attorney Cassidy, coun- sel for Holohan, had number of wit nesses who testified to Holohan's good character. His teachers in the Crosby school, Miss Tennant and Miss Coyle, told of his perseverance in study Miss Mfllaux of Bunker hill too i'll to appear in court, sent test1- monial of his good conduct in her Sunday school, and two or three other witnesses testified in a general way that he was good young man. Fi- nalgs, and to hasten matters, the com plaints were changed to receiving stolen goods to which he pleaded guilty. Thereupon Attorney Cassidy argued to the effect that 1t was merely a case of bad company. On the sec ond complaint Holohan was fined $5 and costs and on the first $15 and costs. Collins was similarly dealt with, and both were warned. Holohan particularly, that if they fall again from grace, the charge of burglary will be revived against them.
 Guy R. Porter held he was not guilty of maiming Charles B. Egan's bird dog The evidence was to the effect that Porter wilfully shot at q number of dogs that were in his yard and the complainant's was among the number. Dr Bland testified that the dog is blind in one eye and was full of shot. Porter's defense was that he shot with no intention of hurting any of the dogs, and that he lost fourteen chickens and in other ways has been harrassed by dogs. Sentence was sus- pended.
 The case against William Gamer for non-support of his wife was con- tinued to January on his agreeing to pay her $5 week.

NEGOTIATIONS FINISHED.
"ronsolidated' to Purchase the N. r..
 0. a w. Road.

New York; Oct 22.--Negotiations for the sale of majority of the capital stock of the New York, Ontario and Western to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad have been prac- tically concluded, according to the World, which says:
 At a meeting of the directors of the former system, to be held in this city November 9, they will be given an op. portunity to accept the offer which has been made through President NJ E. len, on behalf of the New York, New Haven and Hartford stockholders. Ne gotiations for the New York, Ontario and Western have been conducted by President Fowler and Kuhn, Loeb q Go, who control 275,000 shares of the stock. The minority stockholders, who have been represented by a committee headed by James B. Clews. of the banking house of Henry Clews X Go, are stated to have assented to the pro- posal, which is a sale outright of the assenting stock at 45, or guarantee of 21a per cent in dividends.
 When the minority committee began it's campaign to abolish the voting trust 1t became necessary for the man. agement to call in the services of Kuhn. Loeb x Go to save the control. This was done through the purchase of 275 GOO. it is understood. At the en- suing meeting some weeks ago stock holders were presented with plans for terminating the voting trust which controlled the property These were predicated on the acceptance by the stockholders of new financial scheme. Involving the fiotation of $10, GOO, 900 in bonds, and the promise of declaration at the meeting November 9 of 8 pek cent dividend.
 It is stated that control of the road being assured, it was then offered for sale to several lines, including the Wa bash. but the competition was keen and the bid submitted by the New Haven is understood to have been more than the others were willing to meet.

HAY NOT ABOLISH
 THE VOTING DEGREE

Rome, Oct 22.-The prevailing feeling among the pope's advisers re garding the attitude of the vatican at the coming elections seems to be not to abolish the decree forbidding Cath olics to vote. The Osservatore Ro- mano, the organ of the vatican, how ever, in unofficial articles urges that the abstention from voting be merely to mask the free hand in the matter left to the bishops and advises the faithful to vote when it is considered advantageous to do so in view of local conditions. If this decision is defin- ite the clericals will not have party of their own in the chamber, but will oppose the extremist and anti-religious candidates, especially the socialists, and will favor the conservatives.

 "Knipp," says Blink, "I did not realize who it was coming out of church until I passed by. If I saw you coming out of saloon with hat on the back of your head and cigar between your fingers, with happy look on your face, or coming from the side door of drug store gazing with an interesting look at the clouds, then would have recognized you; but com ing out of church with a meek look and accompanied by your wife was too unconventional for you, Knipp."
