Tho Indictment agalnBt tho Harrl man railroads and tho Union Pacific Goal company and tho two olllclals of thoso companies Is based on alleged unlawful discrimination against tho D. J.

RELIGIOUS CRISIS IN FRANCE Pope Issues Orders to Clergy to Hold Out Even Against Violence. Paris, Dec. 10. Franco seems to face an alarming religious crisis. Re ports of tho popo's eleventh-hour re jection of tho government's final prof fer, under which Catholic worship could bo continued under tho common law, turns out to bo only too true, and tho deadlock now is apparently com plete. According to tne holy fathers orders, declarations under tho law of 1881 aro prohibited, but tho parish priests must remain in their churches until driven out by violence. Tho official confirmation of this communication has created a, sensa tion. Cardinal Lecot, archbishop of Bordeaux; Archbishop Germain and others who already had advised com pliance with tho law, have hastily in structed tho parish priests of their dioceses that their former advice is null and void, and in all tho churches of Paris bishops and priests, after mass, read the letter from Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, commu nicating tho decision of tho holy see to "continue services in the churches, but abstain from any declaration," and Cardinal Richard's own instructions, in view of tho order Issued by the prefect of the Seine, not to permit for the present tho employment of cere monial draperies at marriages or fu nerals. Tho government regards the action of the pontiff as little loss than a summons of the French Catholics to open rebellion. GIRL SHOOTS LOVER DEAD.
