ERIE WILL PAY
CHURCH $4,000

JERSEY CITY, April 27.-Monsignor
John A. Sheppard's suit against the
Erie Railroad Company for damages
to st. Michaels Church and to st.
Francis's Hospital through soft coal
used in the locomotives wa settled out
of court yesterday.
The railroad company pays to the
monsignor $13, 200 for the damages to
the church and $4,000 for damages to
the hospital.
This settlement is only for injuries
done in the past and does not prevent
the plaintiff from bringing an action
in the future, in case the railroad COM
pany resumes the use of soft coal and
creates a smoke nuisance with 1t.
Some time ago Monsignor Sheppard
appointed former United States Sena-
tor James Smith. jr.. of Newark, as an
arbitrator to confer with President
Underwood with a view to effecting an
amicable settlement of the suit. Mr..
Smith took up the matter for the
church and 1t was through his efforts
that the action was compromised.
