In connection with t'ae dcnntnlnatlon o ! the

SliiLt' ill" ra'B troubles that existed foi sev-
crul months between the Union I'acltlc and
the Oregon Short Line hn\e been patched up
It la learned that the solution was brought
"bout by the purchase of n large block of
stock In the Short Life by the Union Pacific
reorganisation committee This purchase and
tiaiiHfer was announced ut the time , but It
wns denied that it had any connection tilth
the t > ettlsm nt of the rate difficulties The
men moat conversant with the troubles admit
that it had n very vital connection with the
tieaty of peace and wiis the only means by
which un agreement on Ibroi'gh rates could
ever ha\o been reached. This stock , com
bined with that already controlled is under
stood to give the Union Pacific icorganlr.a-
tlon c very powerful hand in Short Line
affairs.
WILL BUY K\NSAS PACIFIC.
Regarding the Kansas IVielfic. the sale ot
which has been postponed to December 16 ,
< ho olllcials of the Union Pacific ftel assured
that tlio reorganization committee will aacure
the road They profess their firmest belief
that the Union Pacific reorganization com
mittee can successfully buek Hie Chicago & .
Alien , or the Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun
tain system , for control of the Kansis Pacific.
They base their belief on the amount of first
mortgage bonds In the Kansas Pacific held
by thu Union 1'acKlc icorgunlzatlon commit
tee , and by the many pieces of property
which would bo In dispute should any pur
chaser but the Union l > acillc reoigatrizatlon
committee secure control. Abked why the
Union Pacific wanted the Kan&ia Pacific , an
nlllclal of the former road said.Vo want
It to control business to the south of us and
must liavo It. Wo need It to equalize traffic
conditions and because of the many feeders "
As for the Kansas Central , which lately
went Into separate management with the
title "Kansas City , Lcavenworth & West-
em. " the general manager Is J. O. Brlker-
herr , superintendent of the Union Pacific's
lines In Kansas , and the presiding genius
Ij a son of IE. Kllery Anderson , a recel\er
of the Union Pacific There Is little dou/bt /
that the Kansas Central will be swung back
Into the Union Pacific system The same
may bo said of the Central Branch In Kan-
ens Union Pacific officials profess that they do
not see why any deairo should 'bo felt for the
Union IViclfleDnuer & . Gulf , or the St Jo
seph i- Grand Island railroads They allege
that both of these ever weaken < sl the Union
Pacific system while they were Integral
parts of the great Overland system. An olll-
clal of the Union Pacific soys : "I can
think ot a whole lot of tMngs I
hould llko to SPO our people do before tak
ing In olthor the Union Pacific Denver &
Gulf 01 the St Jospph & Grand IslanA They
can Invest their money more profitably In
several other directions I do not bellovo
these roailrf will ever again be In the Union
IVielflc , I do not believe they are wanted ,

doubt If they can ho roado so"

WALLACE , Idaho , Nov 10 It is believed
hero that Daniel S. 1-amont , vice president
of the Northern Pacific railway , will within
two months succeed President Hill at the
head of the Greit Northern railway. The
opinion Is based on the tone of meMiiges
which passed between I/amont and Hill while
the former was hero recently The tele-
giapfclc correspondence was of such a natuie
as to Indicate th-it Lamont's trip was solely
to acquaint himself with the condition of the
load and to prepire himself for the broader
duties upon which ho iwas about to eutei.
This dispatch created no great surprise
.iniouc .he well posted railroad men of
Omaha 'Iho comment of meat was "This
looks like n welding together of the tv\o
northern transcontinental lines" ttxer since
Uio reorganisation of the Northern Pacllic
rumors have been rife to the effect that the
two llnea would not compete with each ctlur
to any great e\tcnt and the election of the
vlco piesldent ot the one road to the pres
idency of the other would , should It happen ,
dispel all doubts about the control of both
the Northern Pacific nnd of Hie Great Noi th
orn by ono financial syndicate , and tlielr fu

promise of mercy has been made uu I
vvanleil tu clear my mind I dou'l carei what
piiKPAiuTioNs rou Tim CIU.MI :
Mr Howe began his crjsi-cxamliintlon In
a very Insinuating way , and soon made her
acknowledge lhat the house li > Woodsldo was
tentexl for the hole purpose of killing Gul-
densuppo thcio , that she decoyed htm there ,
that when she bought the oil cloth and wrap ,
pings It was for the purpcae of packing up
the portions of his boJy after Thorn should
have finished his mutderous task Adroitly
and cleverly the lawyc < r made the woman
l own up to the most damning and cold
blooded Drcpaiatlons for getting lid ot her
lover
"And did you cry then' " asked Ihe cross-
examiner.
" "
"No
"Did you cry vvhcu yon hired the house' "
" "
"No
The lawyer continued this line of Inquiry
leading up to the moment of the murder ,
getting the same stolid "no" for , ui answer
each tlmo.
"And now , may I nsk , did you cry when
Thorni lold you ho had shol jour lover , Gul-
densuppe ? " asked Thorn's counsel ,
C\trs NacK's eyes filled with tears and she
replied. "Yes , I did cry then. I eould not
help it. "
"What did you do whoa you first came to
this country. What was your occupallou ? "
"Midwife , " was Ihe response.
"How- many chlldicn did jou kill , Mrs.
Nick , " was the next question.
"I never Killed one to my knowledge and
I can provo It by doctors , " answered the
woman with emphasis. Several other ques
tions In this vein followed , to .ill of which
the witness replied with poslthc dcnlils
Mr Howe retired from llic court room for
a few minutes , duiing which time Lawyer
Moss and the prisoner held an earnest con
sultation. Thorn seemed deeply Interested
and whimpered to his counsel , with his lips
close to his counsel. Mr Howe acknowl
edged that while In the county jail she wrote
a letter to Thorn
"Did you not begin that letter with the
words , 'My dear boy'1 " '
The witness would not say whether these
weio the words or not.
"You said today that you never were Intl-
mate Avlth Thorn , that ygu only loved him
because ho threatened you and because he
was a gentleman. Now this letter was writ
ten three months after the murder and you
loved him still when you used these words
In the letter ? "
The witness nodded an assent.
WAS AfUAID OP THORN.
Mrs. Nack's letter to Thorn , written In
the Queen's county prison , with which she
sent him potatoes - nd addressed him as
"Deal Martin" and "Dear Child , " and sug
gested that they end their lives , was trans
lated. She acknowledged tint she wrote
the lelter , but Insisted that she had never
loved him at any time and was pretcnidlng
that she did only because she was nfrali ;
of him
"I d d everything I could to satisfy Thorn , "
said Mrs Nack. "I gave him every cent ot
money I had "
"Why was It you were afraid of Thorn' "
"Thorn had a syringe and said ho wouli !
put something In It which would destroy my
eyesight and that ot Guldensuppe " (
"Was it a fear ot this syringe that madn
you buy the oilcloth before the .man was
dead , and thei same fear after he was dead ]
which made you burn his clothing ? "
" "
"Yea
Mr. Howe continued his cross-examination
stop by step till he had led the witness to
repeat her whole story as- given in her first
confession It did not differ materially from
that biought oil In the direct examltntlon.
In reply to another question Mrs Nack
said : "I never gave money or offered money
to any one to kill my husband. I never said
"
so
Mr IIIovvo changed his tactics after this
nnd turning suddenly shouted at the top of
his vniro1 "Airs Nnclc. iwns nnt it vntivlin
shot Guldensuppe ? "
The woman was startled out regained
herself In a moment and half ohtieked , "No ,
I did not "
"Was It not you who cut up the body ? "
was the next question
The vvonitn frantically yelled hack a de-
fiint "No "
Mr. Howe asked the permission of the
court to reserve further cross-examlnitlon of
the wltnoFs , which was granted. Attorney
Wcller proceeded wild the re-direct examina
tion , which was conducted with the aid of an
Interpreter.
"Did Thorn tell you he used ammonia to
got the blood out of the floor ? " asked Mr.
Wcller.
Mrs Nack said ho did. but that she did not
help him She answered all questions In a
businesslike way and did not seem much
affected.
HER REDIHKCT EXAMINATION.
Mrs. Nack's redirect testimony was re
sumed after recess. Replying to Attorney
Wellcr's question , she said that Martin
Thorn had a Iccig-bladcd knife She said
Thorn gave It to her the evening of the
killing and she retained it until they were
both riding together In the wagon on Satur
day. Thorn nskcd her about II and she
gave It to him. When Mio did so ho threw
it away on the pdo ! of the road , some dis
tance from Wooclsldo but she could not locate -
cato the exact place.
Later on Mr. Howe asked for the revolver
which the detectives found In Mrs Nack's
apartments When It was produced it was
