Important Land Patent DecisIon

An unusually important case was
decided by Judge McCrary in the
United States Circuit Court at Denver,
on the I'd instant. The United States
brought suit to cancel Coal and Iron
Company and others in Los Animas
county. The patents were obtained
through the Presumption Law between
1870 IA, issued from the Pueblo Land
Once. It was afterwards found that
the patents were irregularly obtained.
The patentees were fictitious persons.
The testimony was introduced to show
that the Register and Receiver OF the
Land Office were parties to the fraud.
The defense claimed that the deeds
ara now good, granting they were
fraudulently obtained, because now
they are in the hands of innocent
parties. The Judge held adversely
and rendered his decision in favor OF
the complainant, which cancels the
title to 1850 acres Of valuable land.

THAT NEW RAILROAD SCHEME.

Something More Concerning the Pro-
Through.
Last week dispatches from Denver
gave the outline Of a new railroad
scheme inaugurated in that city. Now
the Denver Republican comes to hand
with full particulars of the organiza-
ton of the company and its incorpor-
alton under the Colorado laws. The
preliminary line is mapped out to run
from Alameda, across the bay FROM
San Francisco, to Gilroy; thence east
crossing the Sierras near or through
Yosemite and coming out on this side
near the southern shore OF Mono lake;
thence on through the southern part
of Nevada to a point fifty miles below
Milford in Utah, to which . branch
line will be run from Salt Lake; and
thence easterly along the valley of the
Grand river to Denver. The main
line is extiniated at 1900 miles, and
the branches 800 more. The Eepub-
lican says that -, 900 900 OF the capital
stock is already subscribed; thatAhe
project is backed by heavy English
capitalists; that it will be the shortest
road and over the easiest grades be-
tween the Pacific and Denver; that as
soon as some final surveys are COM
pleted work will be commenced at
both ends and pressed through to
completion with all possible dis
patch. A list of present stockholders
Is given which includes some very
rich men The capital stock is fixed
at $4,000, 900, or $4,000 per mile.
The scheme has q bona fide appear
ance. 1t looks as though il was in
tended to pick up n after another Of
the hemmed-up branch lines of the
Union Pacific and give them all an
outlet on San Francisco bay, as if II
were meant I be a modification of
the programme marked out two years
ago, which was to cause q concentra-
ton of roads in PahrSnagat valley,
and then give them a common outlet
to the Pacific coast. With this line
completed, the Union Pacific would
command a leading position as against
all other transcontInental roads, and
one from which il is debarred now.
With this line completed, and the
Oregon Short Line extended 500 miles
to Puget Sound, the Union Pacific
would be in position to dictate to both
its Northern and Southern rivals.

a Long sleep

Edward Richards, 40 years Of age,
and an inmate of the National Soldiers
Home at Milwaukee, has been asleep
twenty-nine days. he went to North.
ern Wisconsin on a furlough in Sep
tember, and was engaged as a nurse
by the Sheriff of Bayfield, county, who
one day found him asleep. He could
not be wakened, and was brought on
to the Home in a comatose condition.
He is regularly fed by an attendant,
and swallows anything put in his
mouth, and when held up by his at
PENDANTS can walk. He is sensitive 10
a touch on the bottom Of his feet, and
draws up his limbs when tickled.
In the early part Of the present year
Richards slept from February 18th to

Builders are said to be so busy in
Washington that it Is hard to get the
most trifing repairs done. Houses
are going up all ove the city, and
land since 1880 has quadrupled in
value. Blaine's house cost $67, 900,
including the land; Robeson's cost
S2s, 900, but he bought his lot several
years ago; Don Cameron's between
$4,000 and $4,000, while those OF
Pendleton, Window and Hazen aver
aged about $35, 200. But Robson
asks 500, 900 for his house, and lots
every where are assuming metro
politan prices. A member could for
merly hire a nicely furnished house
for $3.50 a month during the Congress
ional session; now the same ccommo-
dations are twice as high, and floors
In good neighborhoods, which four
years ago rented at $50 are now scarce
at 9IO0. The influx grows each win
ter. People who cut but a moderate
figure at $40, 900 q year in New York
and Baltimore can live handsomely.
The result is that Pennsylvania av-
enue of an afternoon Is crowded with
handsome turnouts, and houses rent
ing at g, 700 to 5000 are in demand.
A large number of flats are being con-
structed too.

The work Of examining and passing
upon the claims for rebate under the
law reducing the tax on tobacco, and
granting a rebate of the tax on un-
broken packages is pretty well com.
plsted, and by the time Congress con-
venes will be in such a state that the
amount OF money required to meet
these claims can be definitely stated.
The present indications are that it will
reach about 50, 700, 900. This Is about
a 81 ,00O, 900 more than vas calculated
would be required. The number of
claims is about 40, 900 and the average
amount, therefore, about 500 each.

Darn the bang" say some Of our spiritual
instructors or at least that is the sentiment as
nearly as it would be polite for me to put it
into print But the bang won't be darned.

me admire a girl in Jersey waist and bang.

opp positively b-b-bewitehing, isn't she,
Miss Clara ?"
"She is, indeed" assented.
Then he declared that she reminded him Of
a recent trial in which he was a juror. A man
had met girl in lonely place and forciby
kissed her. She was terribly indignant, and
had him arrested. She gave an account on
the witness stand Of how he gazed at her in
tently, and then, suddenly throwing his arms
around her, imprinted kiss upon her lips.
The prisoner made no defense, and the jury
was expected to promptly convict him Of as
sault They returned to the court room. Mr..
Travers was the foreman.
"The ju.ju-jury w-w-would like to ask the
young lady two questions" he said.
The Judge consented, and she went to the
stand.
"D-d-did you wear the J.j.iersey that you've
g-g.got on now p
"Yes, SIR" was the demure reply.

The curious fact about Mr. Authur's public
career is that he is the first Vice Presidential
successor to a President who has been
seriously mentioned for denomination. And
the more curious fact is that no one can
furnish any striking act on his part since he
succeeded Garfield to explain why this should
be so. His administration has been entirely
an even, and apparently an uneventiul one,
And yet it has strength of placid and efiec-

than created enthusiasm, and the confidence
in it is, probably, as much a sense of rest
