ALTON CASE GOES OVER.
Judge Lapdls still Awaiting Opinion
From Attorney General Bonaparte.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Judge Lands in
the United States district court Tues
day ordered the postponement until
Sept. "a Of the grand jury investiga-
ton Of the rebating charges against
the Chicago & Alton railroad growing
out Of the recent trial and conviction
Of the STANDARD Oil Go,
, It was generally believed that when
court opened letter would be pre-
sented from Attorney General Bona
parte settling the question of whether
the department Of Justice intended to
prosecute the Chicago Alton.
The company had claimed immunity,
asserting that it had been promised
by former District Attorney Morrison
that If it aided the government in
good faith in the prosecution of the
Standard Oil Co, it would be exempt,
No such letter was presented in
court, either by Judge Lands or by
District Attorney Sims. When the
court opened Mr.. Sims said:
Il wish to make motion for a
postponenient. A situation has arisen
which, in my judgment, makes II
highly desirable that have time tC
submit to the department certain
facts and circumstances in addition
TO those already submitted. Fo
these reasons / request that furthe
action be postponed for three or fou
weeks"
The court then set the case TO
Sept. "a.

A Masquerade Party.

On Friday evening last Mrs.
Royal Shannonhouse gave a very
unique party in compliment to her
charming young sister, Miss Jen-
ME Fredericksen. Each one of the
invited guests personated some
character in history or fiction, and
as the merry throng moved about
the broad hall and spacious par
lors of the rectory, the scene was
decidedly Kaleidoscope, present
ing both the sublime and ridicu-
lous. Some of the costumes were
exceedingly original and quite
comic, while others were decidedly
pretty and artistic. Disguised
voices and masked faces made the
scene one of confusion worse
con.ounded.' After an hour or
more of great merriment the
masks were removed, and very de-
lightful refre shments were served.
