SALT LAKE, Utah, July 11.—Judge Hall of the United States District Court to-day rendered his decision in the celebrated Hilton-Park case, the court holding that the ceremony of ‘“sealing” performed in 1872 was purely a religious ceremony af- fecting the lives of Mrs. Hilton and Dr. Park only in the hereafter and was not a nized by the laws of Utah. Mrs. Hilton, claiming by this ceremony to be a widow of Dr. Park, had sued for part of the es- tate. 81‘( js Mormon Church doctrine that a woman dying out of the marriage state does not occupy so high a plane in heaven as a_woman who has been married. In %72 Miss Armitage, afterward Mrs. Hil- ton, was believed to be dyving, and in or- der to add to her happiness in the here- after, Dr. John R. Parks, a friend of some vears’ standing, was calied to the appar- ently dying woma 's bedside and the cere- mony of “sealing” for eternity was pro- nounced over them by President Wells. It was stated in the certificate issued by President Wells that Miss Armitage was supposed to be on her death bed. The court holds, therefore, that as the ceremony was performed only to provide for the woman’'s spiritual welfare in the next world, Miss Armitage and Dr. Park were never husband and wife.

SACRAMENTO, July 11.—As a result of the disclosures of the alleged official mis- conduct of State Gardener Dunn, the Cap- itol Commissioners to-day dismissed him from the State service and appointed John C. Scrogss of Sacramento in his place. The important incident of the meeting was the introduction of a caustic resolution by Governor Gage denouncing the acts of Dunn and referring his case to the Attorney General for action. The resolution deciares that the present Capi- tol Commisgioners were induced by cer- tain high officials and by both Governors Markham and Budd to retain Dunn, they representing that he was an honest man and an accomplished gardoner.

Corporations Refuse to Grant Demand for Higher Wages. ——— SPOKANE, July 11.—The biggest strike in many years among the miners of the Northwest started this morning at Ross- land, and as a result 1200 miners are idle. The strike affects the Le Rol and other mines owned by British companies. The trouble, which- has been brewing for months, started through th€ actfon of the management in locking out union smelter men at the Le Roi smelter at Northport, Wash. The Western Federation of Min ers took up the matter and voted a sym. pathetic strike to assist the smelter men, who are affiliated with the Western Federation. The nominal cause for the strike given by the union is a demand for an increase in muckers' wages from $2 50 to $3 a day. Manager MacDonald of the Le Roi says he will not reopen the mines except on a scale of $2 for muckers and $3 for mimers. A bitter fight is expected.

WESTERN FREIGHT WAR WILL BE SOON SETTLED CHICAGO, July 11.—The Santa Fe Rail- road Company to-day officially announced that the cut rates scheduled to go Into effect on the Chicago-Missour! River divi- sion of its system had been withdrawn. Regular rates were restored, and notices to this effect were telegraphed to the principal agents iif the territory affected.

The rating dis turbance threatened the earnings of twen- ty-six rcads and brought forth a strong remonstrance from Eastern financial and barking interests. At the meeting of the Western Trunk Line committee to-morrow it is expected an agreement to maintain rates will be reached and a working plan for a physical division of traffic with all the competitive points laid out, The only road in doubt is the Chicago Great Western, and the indications are | that it will continue to operate on an in- dependent basis. The road, according to traffic officlals, is entitled to 2 per cent of all business at full rates, while it asks 8 per cent. Just now it is getting 16 per cent of the business at cut rates.
