INSURANCE SETTLED.
Not as Satisfactory as 1t Might Have Been
to Mr.. Simon.

The Insurance AdJustocs settled with
A. Simon and Mr.. Smith for the damage
caused to the Simons' personal property
and the building, yesterday. Mr.. Simon
can now carryIon business after having
waited over a week.
The building will be repaired. also. The
settlement was not very satisfactory to
tho Simons', but it was better than to
await appraises and keep the store closed
that much longer, SO it was accepted.
There is not much satisfaction in having
goods insured and when fire has almost
ruined nice bright carpets etc, in being
allowed about what it would cost to have
them cleaned and then be compelled to
gaze at comparatively old articles after
wards instead of as they were before the

against the attacks made on 1t by dop-
uty sheriffs representing the interests
of Oyster Bay, are one mnre-in npsEes-
sion of the disputed strip after having
outwitted their opposing forces by a
clever piece of strategy.
For just a year the East island war
has been going on, and it all resulted
from the claim made by Mr.. Jacob to q
strip of sandy beach along the sound
which he claims he bought from its
original owners, but which the village
of Oyster Bay claims is land wished
up out of the sound and the property
Of that village. Driven out last year
when the wal first began, Mr.. Jacobs
men stole a march on their none too
wide awake opponents and landed a
force on Thursday, taking possession
Of the cottage which stands on the mar
row strip.
They were not allowed to remain
there undisturbed, however, and We're
eventually driven IL by a large num-
Der of t~ownspeople who came to the
aid of the Oyster Bay deputy sheriff
under Captain Pat McCahill.
Their victory was short lived, how
ever, and now the opposing forces are
again in possession. 1t came about In
this way: When Captain McCahilfs
forces were not on the lookout the
sturdy band which represents Mr.. ia
cob's interest took down their tent,
which had stood on neutral ground,
and, passing the barrier of fences
erected by the t~ownspeople, estab-
lished themselves once more OF the

GOLDEY COLLEGE IN
FINE NEW OFFICES
Big Institution Has Taken
First Floor Quarters on
Market Street

Goldey College in It's expansion has
now reached the first floor OF the
Institute Building at Eighth and Mar
ket streets. The Office and reception
room have been removed to the art
shop formerly occupied by G. $. Bam-
mitt. This is only another step the
school has taken I'm its march Of pro-
gress during It's eighteen years.
In 1856 the school was started on the
third floor OF the institute building. A
little desk i'm the corner was its only
Office. Business grew and i'm time the
whole third floor with the exception OF
the studio Of Mr.. Hammitt was oc-
cupied. Necessity then compelled the
removal down stairs. Then gradually
AN the space on this floor was occupied
with the exception Of the Free Library
The continued growth Of the school
finally compelled it to give up its office
quarters and partition off "a part of the
hall It continued to grow and part OF
the Bayard Annex was pressed into
service. This being somewhat incon-
venient the college considered II a
stroke Of good fortune 20 secure the

During the eighteen years of its ex-
istance the institution has had 5000
students. many Of whom were from this
city. Fifteen States have been repre-
sented at the college as well as the
West Indies and now the graduates
hold responsible positions all over the
country.
When the institution started H. $.
Goldey was the principal, but the de-
lvelopment has been such that he Is now
president, the school having been in
corporated in 1895. Two principals are
lnow necessary with a large corps of
assistants.
A marked feature Of the growth is
the executive Office on the first floor.
Here is to be found a business manager
who has charge of the employment

business men.

COURTS DECISION
STOPS MERGER DIVISION
Judge +. G. Bradford Hands
Down an Important OPin-
ion at Trenton

In the United States Circuit Court at
Trenton, n. j.. yesterday, Judge Ed
ward c. Bradford, of this city, granted
a preliminary injunction in the suit
brought by Edward H. Hartman,
Winslow $. Pierce and others
against J. G. Hnl and j. =. Morgan and
Company ln the Northern Securities
case.
Judge Bradford's action prevents the
proposed pro rata distribution Of North
em Pacific and Great Northern stock
held by the Northern Securities Conn
pany until the merits Of the contentious
Of the parties shall have been deter
mined. That Is TO say It stops the Hill
Morgan plan of distribution and keeps
the whole matter tied up in the court
Indefinitely.
Immediately following the decision by
the United states Supreme Court that
the Northern Securities Company eX-
listed IN violation OF the Sherman Anti
Trust act James G.. Hill, president of
that company issued circular pro-
posing plan Of distribution Of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
stock on pro rata basis.
This plan called for a cancellation OF
90 per cent. of the Northern Securities
Company's 3,95400O shares. For each
share surrendered and cancelled was To
have been delivered S39.27 I'm Northern
Pacific stock and SSO.17 in Great North
ern. The remaining $3.50 shares OF
Northern Securities stock were to re-
tain ownership of other assets, valued
at about S924l,0O0.
Mr.. Hartman and others represent
ing the Union Pacific interests objected
Their contention was that they should
receive back from the Northern Securi-
ties Company the actual shares thai
they put into it--that is Northern Pa
cinc stock There was enough of this
to give them control of Northern Pa
cifc.
The Hartman party first applied tc
the United States Court at st. Pau
for leave TO intervene and prevent the
Hin plan of distribution. This motion
was denied Vice Chancellor Bergen
Of the New Jersey courts. also dismiss
ed a petition of the Continental lnsur.
ance Company which sought to pre-
vent the pro-rata plan.
on April 20 Judge Kirkpatrick, of th'
United States Court i'm New Jersey
granted temporary injunction in th'
Harriman-Pierce suit. Judge Kirk
patrick died before argument could bl
had and the case went before Judg'
Bradford.
