THREE SUITS SETTLED All Were Against Southern and They Were Compromised Durham, N. C, Oct. 10 Special. In the superior court three damage suits have been settled in which the Southern Railway wa? the defendant. ! Each of the suits was settled by com promise.

The appearance of a pale-faced, but athletic, youth wear ing a diamond neck-tie at the open ing of the Empire theatre last night created a scene . that- has never been paralleled in a West End theatre, and ii-esulted in his removal-from the build ing. The tie was the cause of the trouble. It was a resplendent affair, made in the shape of the conventional evening bow, but it was composed of large white diamonds. No one could avoid noticing It. The young man was otherwise a walking diamond machine. His hands were covered with the jewels, and his .cuff links, shirty studs 1 and waistcoat buttons were all blazing ' stones. At first the audience maintained Its good manners, merely raising its eyebrows as the bejeweled youth pass ed, but later hundreds of persons fol lowed him about the promenade. He finally took refuge in a seat near an exit, where the attendants of the the atre, fearing that an attack might be made upon' him, guarded him closely. Then the fun raged fast and furious. One humorist made a speech on rara jewels, while others asked permission to touch the necktie. Finally ten men marched in Indian flle past the youth, making mock obeisances. The laught- er, cheers and jeers accompanying the horse-play completely destroyed the at traction on the stage, and order was not restored until the youth was es corted from the theatre. His identity and purpose are at present mysterious. His peculiar neck tie was first noticed a month ago at the Palace Music Hall, but it created no disturbance. It is believed tha young man Is an American who is either engaged as an advertisement, or who is paying a wager. Another Rouss Suit New York Oct. 10. The suit of Eliza beth S.

The sale does The suit of Mrs. Cowen is only one ' not include the land, but simply the of the many actions instituted by wo- standing timber that the tracts con men against the Rouss estate, alleging tain. The price, averaging more than that the rich old blind merchant had $2 per acre, is said to be above the proposed to support them or their children or bot. ; -The executors have settled such cases and in one or two instances the women have got verdicts against the estate. After hearing all the evidence Jus- tice Greenbaum said he was satisfied there was no proof of a legal contract existing and he dismissed the suit without letting it go to the jury. Pat Crowe Arraigned Omaha. Neb., Oct 10. In police court today Paf Crowe was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to the charge of shooting an officer with intent to kill.

Skeleton at Suffolk Suffolk, Va., Oct. 10. The digging up of a human skeleton today in the rear of a business block throws some light on the theft of a coffin from an under taker's establishment near the scene some years ago. A lone coffin was the burglar's , only booty, which diligent police search, failed to trace. The skel eton was near the surface. The cir cumstances are suggestive of a tragedy.
