STREET CAR ATTACKED,
Motorman Tried to Force 1t Through
a Religious Procession.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-An attempt of
motorman to force a street car through
a religious procession at Chicago
Heights yesterday resulted in one
broken head. many broken windows,
and ten arrests.
Bishop Paul Rhode Of Chicago. was
met at Chicago Heights station by over
1000 Catholics who formed a parade to
escort him to Calvary cemetery, which
he was to dedicate. Near the town
hall. at Sixteenth street, the car met
the head of the procession and the
marchers readily divided to allow 1t to
pass. As the crowd became more dense
the marchers called upon the motor
man to stop. He refused and some per-
sons in the crowd began to throw
stones.
The passengers fed from the car,
after which stones. were -showered
about it, breaking every window and
injuring the motorman. Police charged
the crowd. The 10 men arrested were
released later on bonds Of $500 each.

Canadian Pacific to Take Over the

Chicago, Sept. 21.-A special to the
Inter-Ocean from Minneapolis says:
That, the Chicago Great Western
Railroad company. together with all
of its terminal facilities, rolling stock
and motive power equipment. will
soon become the sole property of and
a subsidiary line to the vast system of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad COM
pany seems to be a certainty. accord
ing to unofficial information from
headquarters of the Great Western in
st. Paul. The fact that gives this re-
port more weight than ordinary ru-
mors is. the statement of one of the
officials TO the effect that during the
visit of President T. G. Shaughnessey
of the Canadian Pacific railroad in St
Paul last week an unlimited option on
the Chicago Great Western was OBJ
tanned by President Shaughnessey and
Horace G. Burt from the receivers of
the Great Western. Further. it is
stated that owing to the labor troubles
which the Canadian Pacific system is
having it is impossible for that system
to take, over the Great Western now
and for that reason the option was
obtained from the receivers.

COLBY'S BIG FIGHT.
Decision VIII BE Rendered by the
Voters Tomorrow.

Newark. n. j., Sept. 21.-State
Senator Everett Colby. the wealthy
young lawyer of Orange, who for
two years past has been a national
political figure because Of his agrees
sive leadership of the New Idea"
element in the Republican party in
this state, will see the hottest cam
paign he has yet waged end to-
morrow, when New Jersey will try a
new system of direct primaries for
the first time. Colby, as is well
known, fathered the New Idea" the
objects of which are to force certain
legislative concessions from corpora
tons and the Republican organiza-
ton, such as a public utilities COM
mission and equal taxation and he
has been the most prominent man in
the legislature for some time.
The new law owes itself to in
dependent factions of both the Re
publican and Democratic parties and
the canvass in Essex county, has re-
suited in such complications that to-
day no one can be found who Will
venture to predict the outcome.
The excise question has been the
dominating issue in the senatorial.
the Shrievalty, the mayoralty, the
ward and even the national sides of
the campaign in Newark and Essex
county. Practically everything else
has been lost sight of.
Senator Colby and Former Judge
James L. Raymond are the aspirants
for the Republican nomination for
senator. Both have come out for the
enforcement of the Bishops or the
excise law, until the people can vote
on whether they want it changed or
not. But Senator Colby has been
trying to persuade ex-Judge Ray
mond to make a public statement as
TO where he stands on various mat
tiers which are in the New Idea
platform and are described as in the
nature Of reforms, but has not been
able to elicit any response.
Raymond will have the strongest
possible backing of the regular Re-
publican organization at the pri-
maries.
On the Democratic side, Absalom
Bachman, a new conner in that field
Of active politics, whose home is in
West Orange. is being given the sup
port of the party organization. The
two candidates opposing the organiza-
ton are Frank NJ. McDermitt and
Harry V. Osborne.
Senator Colby had Winston
Churchill of New Hampshire make
several speeches for him.

Wall Street Is Overtakcn by Another
Bad FRIGHT.

New York. Sept. 21.-The stock
market started in unsettled today as a
consequence of the weakness las
week. Selling orders from outside
sources came into the market over
Sunday and caused declines on tho
first transactions of to 2k points in
the market leaders. The rally which
followed caused a belief that inpor-
tant banking and financial interests
are determined to protect prices
against further inroads.
The recovery early invited renewed
selling and acute weakness followed in
the course of the first hour, most of
the active stocks falling half to 2B
below Saturdays last prices. The turn
taken by the political canvass towards
increased prominence of the anti-cor-
poration issue was not relished bv the
element active in stock speculation.
