A REAL ESTATE DISPUTE.

Mrs. Burns Story, as Told In a Bill in Equity.
Mary L. Burns, through her counsel, Mr.. A.
K. Brown, has filed Il bill in equity against
Samuel Cross, trustee, Alexander r. Shepherd,
and Charles +. Gorham. The complainant
AYERS that OH October s, 1876, she purchased
from A. r, Shepherd lot "a, in Shepherds sub.
division of sublot 25, square ACE, for 81, ,0D0-
81 900 in cash and deed OF trust for SO 900
made TO Samuel Cross, trustee, to secure three
notes of 81 900 each. A deed Of warranty was
thercupon executed, and, together with the
deed of trust, filed in the Recorders Office.
At the same time OF the transfer an
agreement was entered into between
these two parties that Mr.. Shepherd
should furnish the complainant with n cer.
thcate of title showing the lot to be free of
all iDcumbrances, otherwise the transaction
should be void, and which he failed to do. On
the 27th of November 1877, Mr.. NJ. Ashford
furnished her with an abstract of title to the lot
In which II fully aud clearly appeared that Mr.
Shepherd possessed no title to lot No is when
she gave the decd of trust, but that the title
was vested IN Mercy NJ. Gray, and that the lot
carries taxes of many years standing. She
| notified Mr.. Shepherd that she had no clear
| title to the lot; that she would throw up the
bargain aud wished her notes returned. On
| November 70 100, sNe TbcclNtu an agree
ment from Mr.. Shepherd that he would protect
her from all legal membranes on the lot,
and bind himself to pay them. Two days later
notice was received that the trustees had
been instructed 10 advertise and sell the prop
erty. 1t is further shown that the three notes
were assigned and transferred to Charles T..
| Qorham prior TO December /, 1877, but for what
consideration the complHinants did not know.
Upon the last date the complainant paid Mr.,
| Shepherd an additional $1,000 and the inter.
est, amounting 10 1900, which was not credited
on either the notes or deed Of trust. Despite
these Gcts the lot was S I'D by the trustee on
the 25th instant, and purchased by Charles r.
Gorham against the complainant's protest.
| She now asked that the sale be set aside, and
| she be given credit for the money paid, re-
straining order wns issued by Justice MacAr
thur reiuruable August 6.

Market Men Murnuring.

The Market Dealers Protective Association
met yesterday afternoon for the purpose Of
discussing the question of licenses. A paper
was read stating that the cases against thirty.
FIVE hucksters, arrested for non-payment of
license, had bcen postponed for a hearing in
the Police Court until next Wednesday. In
the debate that followed considerable feeling
was manifested against "squatter' hucksters
as it was claimed that they were not required
to pay any license. 1t was finally agreed to
make the cases before the Police Court tes
ones, aud to refuse to pay license until they
were decided. 1t was also stated that under
the charter of the Market Company dealers

time many Of the spectators declared that II
was the most enjoyable game they ever wit
messed, and they would like to see another.
So hero is the chance.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday the Easton
club, Of Easton, Pa, will be here and play the
Nationals two games. While they are mem
bers Of the Association, they are not In the
championship fight, but have defeated some OF
the clubs that are participating in the contest.
They have fne niue and are playing good
game of ball. Mr.. John $. Holliugshead hav-
ing resigned the management OF the National
club, the directors have selected Mr. Michael
B. Scanlon rs his successor. The former has
many friends In this city who will regret to
see his retirement from the ball field, but his
love for the game will probably draw him upon
the diamond again when the next season
opens
The ability Of Mr.. Scanlon to manage n nine
is unqucstioned, and his efforts in that direc-
tion, while the club was absent on its recent
trip, furnishes ample evidence Of the fact. lie
will start with the team Oh their second Elst-
ern tour next Thursday, and they will prob
ably be away from me for three weeks.
They have only ten championship matches to
play while absent, the postponed game with
the New Bedfords having been agreed upon 10
be played here, aud the intervening time will
be taken up by exhibition games. The dis
banding Of the Manchcsters and Hop Bitters
breaks up their schedule of games aud re-
quires the inserting of others to keep the men
occupied while abroad.
If the Albany games could be advanced TO
an earlier date than that originally fixed, the
club might be able to return earlier, but II
such were the case, little benefit would come
TO the home club, thereby rs they have no
games arranged for the grounds here sooner
than the first week in September.
They play first 10 Baltimore, Philadelphia
next aud in Jersey City on Saturday. Their
fist championship match, this time, is with
the Springfelds. The latter club, just now, are
getting beaten all around; but ii will be about
the Nationals luck, as heretofore, to catch
| them in good trim and tough customers TO
handle.
