A Meeting OF citizeIs Determined Not to Grant

A Meeting OF ciizeIs Determined Not to Grant
Right Of Nay to the Chicago & Evanston Rail-
way
4 large and excited body OF citizens attended
the meeting at the Town Hall, last Tuesday
night, to further consider the petition OF the
Chicago l. Evanston Railroad Company, asking
for the right of way into Evanston on Sherman
avenue. Mr.. Gilbert was called to the chair and
Alfred L. Sewau chosen Secretary.
Mr. P. Judson moved that the following reso-
luton, laid upon the table at the last meeting,
be taken up:
eso1ped, That this meeting Of the citizens Of Evans
ton 1econend the Trustees to grant the right Of
through the village on Sherman avenue, subject to
Euch conditions and restrictions as in their judgment
they may think best
Mr. Judson delivered his opinion with grace,
JUNCTION, and telling effect. BE opposed the
resolution, seeing no good in it, and great IN
time as the Chicago d Northwestern, 500 bust
ness men Of Evanston riding Oh it daily, would
lose $780, 100 worth Of time. which, combined
with the damage to real estate, would swell the
amount to $685. 900.
would not favor this unless it could enter along
side the Chicago d Northwestern
George Watson thought the proposed right OF
way to valuable franchise would be thrown
sway on q darL-lantern corporation, who will not
reveal their stockholders.
E. D. Browne thought it a nefarious scheme,
End denounced those who had it in charge as
lobbyists and swirdlers.
The resolution was then again laid on the ta-
bic.
A motion waa made to idefnite1y postpone the
question, which was opposed by Judge J. B,
Adams, On the ground Of being uncourteous to
the railroad corporation.
Hugh White thought the reascn the stock.
holders would not reveal their names was that
they intended to solicit bonuses of land from
property holders on the line of the proposed
road, thus swell their stock, and turn the whole
over to New York capitalists.
Judge Scates read the report Of the Committee
of the Chicago Common Council Oh streets and
alleys, which severely denounced the railroad
company.
The motion to postpone indefinitely was then
carried unanimously, and the meeting ad-
journed.
The Musical Society met pursuant to previous
notice, and partially effected an organization.
They viii meet again next week, when they hope
TO have larger attendance.

TREASURE TRovE FOR THE ,,GIs 1"s con,e i me
ToN-The city of iIahSafrty under vcrv novel cir,
the possessio5nd H was only Inv n mere chance
Ftwas discovered that the city was entitled
to it, In the year 1928 Mrs. Lucy Bullman,
widow residing at the west end, died, and by
will executed in December of that year disposed
of her property-of moderate value at that time
to her family relatives and friends. She had
no immediate relatives, and the bulk OF her little
fortune, consisting of two estates with houses
thereon, at the corner of Cambridge and Bel
KNAPP streets, was bequeathed to three maiden
nleceS, with provision that If they should die
without heirs the property should 20 TO the son
of nephew. and if he died without heirs, then
the property was to revert to the city of Boston
for the benefit of its poor. The son Of John b.
Haley, the nephew above referred to- died in the
year 1919 without issue. The last of the three
nieces died in October, 1869, and as neither OF
them was ever married. there were no heirs on
their part to claim the property. After the death
of Mrs. Bulman two other children were born
to Mr.. Haley, and being heirs of the testatrx
the property passed into their hands, without
any persons questioning the legality OF their
ownership. Undoubtedly they would always
have remained in quiet possession OF the prem
iSes had they not, about year ago, concluded
TO dispose of one of the estates, and upon an
examination of the title by the purchas-
er's attorney, that legal gentleman concluded
that the prOvlso relating TO the city of
DOSDOn was SHADOW upon the title,
and applied to the city solicitor for a release OF
whatever rights might accrue TO the city under
the proviso. This was the first intimation to
any city official that such a will had ever been
made, and upon scrutinizing that instru ment
which was on file in the probate offi,s, the So
licitor became convinced that by strict con-
struction ofthe will the city of Boston had been
entitled TO the property since the death of the
last niece in 1869. His idea was that by the
terms of the will the word "heirS" was intended
to mean tissue" and as all the original legatees
died without leaving children, the property from
that moment became the city of BoSton's for
the use specified in the will. Upon the construc-
ton Of the word "heirs" of course he was dis
puted by lawyers employed by the parties al
ready in possession, land in order to bring the
matter to a speedy termination it was agreed
that the suit should be brought against the city
as though it was in actual possession of the
property. The case passed through court with
out attracting any attention, and the full bench
of the supreme court has recently taken the
same view ofthe will as expressed by Mr. Healy,
and consequently the city can now legally ac-
quire the estates. These are worth to-day about
$4,000, and some $1,000 in rents, which has ac-
cumulated since the bringing of the suit, await
disposition by the city. The board of aldermen
are now considering how the property shall be
disposed OF.

THE ST. CRoIx AND BAYFIELD, LAND GRANT
occupied much of the time of congress at its
last, as well as at some previous sessions, and
its waxing or waning fortunes furnished a sure
reliance for special Washington correspondents
when other resources failed and news became
scarce. Because Its actual merits were greater,
or its dement's less obvious, it was selected from
the mass of land grant and subsidy schemes as,
in some sort, test of the disposition of con-
grcss and the strength of the lobby, which had
those interests in charge, was concentrated upon
the effort to carry it through. 1t passed in the
senate, we believe, where jobs found too much
favor, but was signally defeated in the house,
and its defeat was accepted as proof that, in the
opinion of congress, the land grant policy had
been carried far enough. Whereat the land spec
ulators and persons in their interest incurred and
the rest Of mankind, so far as they concerned
themselves about the matter, were correspond
ingly gratiied. The lands in question were
granted by the United States several years ago to
the state of Wisconsin in aid of q railroad from
Lake st. CroiX to Lake Superior and Bayfield,.
The conditions of the grant, however, were not
fulfilled by the building of the road within the
sENNthNN Aahies
for this reason the grant had lapsed and the lands
had become again the property of the United
States. The struggle in congress was for the
renewal of the grant, and since its failure many
persons have entered upon the lands, assuming
that they might occupy them like other vacant
lands of the United States. making their entry
at the land Office or otherwise answering to the
cove rnment for their intrusion.
But we learn from the ST. Paul Press that, ac
cording to a recent decision of the United States
circuit court in that city, the struggle in con
gress for these lands was waste of effort
Some of the intruders upon the lands of thi.
grant were called TO account by the state o
Wisconsin for their trespass. The state claimeC
that its title was still good which the settlers dis
puted. The circuit court decides that the gran
was to the state and not to any individuals Of
corporations, and that it is the exclusive RICH
of the United States TO claim the benefit of
default, if any have occurred, and until sucl
default is established, either by an act of con
gress or decree of court, or both, the erigina
grant TO the state of Wisconsin stands good
and the state is the absolute QwpGE,af seoncres,
suhiacs. Is 'Mr. Justice Miller of the suprem,
court delivered the opinion.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM DEATH oc-
CURED near the Inflated New Hamburg draw
bridge, on the Hudson river railroad, Thursday
night. James Carter, who works in the brick
yards near New Hamburg, was walking up the
track toward that station, and was about mile
south Oft. Upon his back he carried an empty
trunk. Looking ahead, he suddenly discovered
train coming south on the same track on which
he was walking north. 1t was close upon him,
and he had to hurry TO get out of the way. in
doing so, and not thinking Of any other danger,
he jumped aside to the east track, Just as the
second Pacific express came along, bound north.
The latter train was five or ten minutes behind
time and was running like lightning. The
locomotive was the same one which ran
into the draw on the memorable 9Th of Februa-
ry. The engineer saw the man and whisted for
brakes and shut Oft steam at the same time, but
without success. The engine struck Carter with
full force and hurled him and his trunk at least
twenty feet into the air. and just trihe ahead
of the locomotive, so that when he alighted he
fell upon the pilot and the trunk upon the plat
form under the headlight, knocking off the brass
signal light. The fireman of the engine erawled
out of the window of the cab, and, hurrying
along the railing to the front end of the locOmO-
tive, found the trunk as stated, and, looking
over it and down upon the pilot, discovered
the man jolting along on the iron bars, head
downward, near the track, but not touching it,,
and with feet hanging over the heavy beam to
which the pilot is attached. His coat had caught
in the draw bar, and he was held as securely Us
il in wise TO make things doubly sure the
fireman seized him and held on with death
grip till the train stopped at New Hamburg
station, when the night Waterman at the station
and the fireman and engineer removed him.
He was entirely unconscious, but examination
showed that not bone had been broken, nor
were any cuts visible. Upon the moustache
were spots of blood, but they must have
come from the nose, as no abrasions of
the skin were found anywhere. AS the exam.
inaton was proceeding, Carter suddenly re-
turned to consciousness, and, with a half idotlc
stare, wanted to know how far he was from
Hughsonville, his destination. He could not
remember anything about being struck by the
train, and complained OF bruises and pains in
his left leg, but no hurts were found there, and
he is now pronounced out of danger.

GENIUS AND MADNEss.-It will be pleasant
to men of only moderate ability TO learn from Dr.
MORGAN that genius arises from the same organic
conditions as insanity; is, in fact, synonymous
with it. His theory is that genius is symptom
of a diseased brain. Various geniuses, especially
among men of letters, are cited as instances OF
this peculiar madness. DIR. johnson was hypo-
condriacal; Rousseau was lunatic; Pascal was
insane, and on examination after death his brain
was found to be very seriously diseased. Now,
all this is worth knowing. There is something
very consoling in it. Hereafter when we
see a man shoot up into sudden eminence, and
win the applause of all the world, we can shrug
our shoulders and say, "Poor fellow! He has
gone mad" In brief, we can take to ourselves
the assurance that only we mediocre men, who
plod along the common plane Of life, are pos
sessed of truly robustland symmetrical minds
As for men of genius they are to be pitied rath-
err than blamed; and their proper place is the
insane asylum, under those healthy corrections,
a straight jacket and diet of bread aud water.

SPEED OF THE EARTH's RoTATIoY.--T
farther we are from the poles the swilter the
rotation Of the world on its own axis. At St.
Petersburg, in go deg. latitude, the speed of rota-
tion Is nine miles minute. At Paris, eleven
miles and half. On the equatorial line, the
rapidity Of Its motion is not far from eighteen
miles minute-which is 52S yards each second
Its whlrl on its axis, therefore, is equal TO the
flight of a cannon ball of twenty-sx pounds
forced from gun by thirteen pounds OF pow
der. Such swifness Of a mass Of matter OF the
density Of this earth, eight thousand miles in
diameter through celestial space, makes
one giddy to think of il. As the earth
sways either side Of the exact line Of its
orbit in running round the sun, like balloon
in the mir, it has never, since launched into
space, gone over the same track twice. In its
oscillations it passes each side Of the prescribed
roadway, crossing to and fro, but never swaying
SO far from II as not to be brought back by an
attractive force somewhere in the immensely of
stellar space, which keeps unrecorded millions
Of worlds, far superior TO this In magnitude, bril-
liancy and overwhelming grandeur, in paths in
which they are destined to move till the heavens
shall be burned as scroll. Matter cannot be
annihiated. This proposition is admitted 10 be
true In philosopy. But how originated? That
is a question.

the guaranty of life. The gloom of misanthropy
is not only great destroyer of happiness we
might have, but it tends to destroy life itself
Idleness and luxury induce premature decay
much faster than many trades regarded as the
most exhaustive and fatal to longevity. Labor
in general, instead of shortening the term Of
life actually increases it. 1t is the lack of oc-
cupation that actually destroys SO many of the
wealthy, who have nothing to do but play the
mart of drones, and like them make a speedy
exit, while the busy bee fills out its day in use
fulness and honor.

The RECENT NITRo-ILYoERINE EXPLOSION
AT SAN FRANCISCO, which destroyed the Giant
powder works, is described as the most terrible
ever known in that locality. Those nearest TO
the scene Of the disaster describe the effect expe-
rienced as similar 10 the sweep of sudden and
powerful squall, the force being almost sufli-
cent 10 PROSTATE person. In houses not far
removed from the locality few windows were
smashed by the conclusion, but no material
damage resulted outside of the premises occu-
pied by the powder company. All the buildings
six in number-were completely shattered,
and of the nitro.glyccriue house hardly spin.
ter could be found within hundreds Of yards Of
its former site. A piece Of iron belonging in
the building was picked up on the road a quar-
ter OF a mile distant. The common effect Of nj
tro-glycerne explosion, expanding its force
downward, was noted, and where the stOrehOuse
had stood great excavation was made in the
earth ten or twelve feet In depth and over a
hundred feet In circumference. The cartridge
house, which contained 1900 pounds Of the giant
powder put up in cartridges and boxes for ship
ment was shattered and boxes broken, but
most remarkable, the powder was not
ignited aud doubly destructive explosion was
escaped, Over n thousand pounds Of nitro.
glycerne was exploded. The material was de-
posted IN large wooden tank, and kept con.
stanily covered with water as a safeguard and
the superintendent had looked to this precaution
before leaving the works for the city. The the.
