have been vague runners concerning

Presbyterian Church, and Mrs. Lizzie
Hicks, member OF hrs church, and the
" ifp of a prominent business man. The
matter eliminated in the discovery by

tees at once closed the church against
Park, who, being absent, was telegraph
ed, and returned on the evening train.

feeling existing, he placed his resigna
ton in the hands of the Board, which
will in due time be laid before the con,
gregation for their action. The scandal
assumes important proportions, because
of the prominent social standing of the
lady, and the fact that Mr.. Park is un-

was arrested near Ea,eigh, N. G., on
Friday, charged on the oath of three
colored persons with having murdered
her two infant children by burning
their bodies in the fireplace of he,
house. On the examination it was
shown that the bodies of the twins,
which were born dead, were not in
tered for three weeks after birth on
account of the rel orts in the neigh bor-
hood that Mrs. Pierce had destroyed
them. The whole story was mOll.
strous conspiracy. The defendant was
discharged, and three of the witnesses
against her We're sent before the grand
Jury to answer charges Of conspiracy
and perjury Mrs. Pierce is Northern
woman, who went South few years
ago and married William j. Pierce, a
respectable citizen. No motive for this
conspiracy against her can be imagined
further than that it is said some of the

ya,lex FORGE Hesaquarters.

The title to the Washington head
quarters property at Valley Forge has
passed to the Valley Forge Centennial
Association. The dedication will take
place on Thursday, the 18th inst.
The trief Of title shows that the pro-
perty was conveyed in 1861 at West
minister by King Charles the Second to
William Penn, who, on the Oath of Oc-
tober, 17O1, granted patent for 1880
acres, including the site of the head
quarters to his daughter Letitia for the
consideration of one beaver skin. Lett
tia married William Albery, of London,
and July 10, 1870, they gave a deed for
d portion of the tract to Sir Archibald
Grant, who sold it five years later to
William Wilkinson, Of Middlesex. In
1886 it was sold to William Penn, jr.,
son of the great William Penn, who, in
l740, gave power of attorney to James
and William Logan to dispose of the
land, which they did year later by
selling l75 acres to Stephen Evans, and
Daniel Walker, transaction which
seems to have closed the English owner
ship. Leti,ia Penn's manor of Mount
Joy was bounded by the Welsh Line,
the Schuykiil, the Valley Creek, and
the first creek below.
The next owner of the 175 acres was
Isaac Walker, who obtained possession
December 13, l742, but five days later
deed was executed dividing it equally
between Stephen Evans, Daniel Walk
or, and Joseph Williams. Daniel Walk
er's por tion passed, in l772, to Abra-
ham Williams. In 1857 James Coulter,
Esq, Sheriff of Philadelphia county,
conveyed one-third of the ITS acres, a.
the estate ef Joseph Williams, to John
Potts, and in the same year Mary and
Abijah Stevens, executors Of Stephen
Evans, conveyed another third to Potts.
In 1858 he obtained deed for the re-
mainder from Sheriff Coulter and be.
came the sore owner.
In 1868 the titls passed to his son,
John Potts, jr., aud 6 portion, inciud
ing grist and sawmill on the site OF
the present mill at Valley Forge, was
immediately atterward decided back tf
the elder John Potts, who disposed o
the property to Joseph Potts. In l77s
Joseph Potts s.ad the mill and sur
rounding land to Isaac Potts, WHO sole
them in 1893 TO Jacob Paul.
Mr.. Paul's deed is the first for this
property recorded in Montgomery coun
ty, all the others having been recorded
Gn Philadelphia. Jacob Paul left th'
Hand by will to Joseph Paul, who solo
it i'll 1885 To Joseph l.. ThomIas. From
Mr.. Thomas it passed to Mr.. jane
Jones, who left it to his daughters, AM
Jones and Hannah Ogden. Miss Jones
in 1850, sold her share to Mrs. Ogden
who has since been tn. sole owner
1t will be seen that the property be
longed to Isaac Potts when Genera
Washington occupied it.

Nh Pardon for ReynOIds

The President has decided not to
pardon Reynolds, the Mormon bigamist.
The Mormons claim that the Reynolds
case was intended as a test case, to test
the constitutionality of the anti poly,
gamy law. But the government officers
say that there was no agreement or un-
derstandiHg, direct or indirect, that
Reynolds should not be punished if
convicted, and that Reynolds used every
means at his command to escape con-
viction. Witnesses were even spirited
away and kept from testifying. 1t is
also ossclaimed that Reynolds is one Of the
most open and defiant of the Mormon
