SEEING A STREET.

The Heirs to the Cowenhovsn Estate Taking
Possession Of Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn.
The heirs to the CoWenhoven estate sued the
city Of Brooklyn some time ago to recover o strip
ofland In Atlantic avenue which is used rs
part Of the street, claiming 1t As their property.
The suit went as ainst them, but the Court OF Ap-
peals reversed the Judgment, and obliged the
lower court to hnd for the plaintiffs, and award
thelsnd to them. The strip Of land Is about
eight tundr feet long, beginning fifty feet east
OF Fifth avenue, and extending thence easterly
to about opposite Cumberland street. Its width
extends from the front Of the houses into he
street fty feet and tskes in the front rail Of the
Atlantic avenue street railroad. For nearly
twenty years the city has used this strip Of land
rs thoroughfare, and, according TO law, II It
had been 50 used for twenty years, the city and
the occupants Of the houses along the line Of the
strip would have acquired right Of way over the
land. This term of twenty years would have
been completed to-day; but the counsel for the
plaintiff Mr.. s. B. Higinbotam, hsd provided
against such contingency. The necessary DE-
pers to give the PLAINTIFF possession were re.
ceiyed in the Sherif's ofice, and early yesterday
morning Deputy Sheriff George Hardy started
for the scene OF action.
( He served on the property-holders and Alder
man Richardson's railway company notice Of
ownership, and notice that all trespassefs
would be prosecuted. 1t was necessary In ae-
cordance with the requirements OF law that the
property be enclosed, and thirteen laborers under
direction Of the Deputy Sheriff put down stout
picket posts and stretched wires, forming an en-
closure which took in two and q half feet Of Al
derman Richardson's railway track. The posts
were planted directly In the middle Of the track.
When the fence was at length completed, the
Deputy Sheriff formally delivered over the prop
erty TO the claimants counsel, and they assumed
oNnership. Had they waited another day before
DONG TINS the twenty years would have expired,
and the claim beee no longer good.
As soon as the fence was built, the employees
OF the railway, under Alderman Richardson's
order tore up the posts that ebstructed the track
and resumed the running Of their cars In 90

The gentlemen attached to the government

anything which might offend the sensibtlities

few rusty muskets be put on board BY any
swift craft they are Immediately on the qai rice.
"Blockade-runnersf ~ they cry IN chorus, and
all the machinery Of government is at once put
in motion to find out the destination OF the
aforesaid pound Of powder. The buoys
in the harbor may be out Of their
place, to, the danger of the commerce Of this
port and the dfsgrace Of the nation, and
Washington officials will smoke their pipes IN
peace and quaff the generous champagne,
needless of the appeals Of the American pub
lie. But let Spanish detective in New York
declare that the most innocent craft that ever

pounds Of powder to the Cuban insurgents,
