NEW YORK, June pa suit has been
brought in the Supreme Court by the
Land Company Of New Mexico Qimited)
against Stephen B. Elkins, L. NJ. Oar
ling, Thomas B. Catron, Paul Butler and
Bronson Murray, as executors of I. Rush
Spencer, to establish its title to a one-fifth
interest of the tract of S27. 900 acres of
land in New Mexico known as the Mora
grant. The title was taken in the name
of Elkins to hold for the other persons,
no one to sell his interest without the con-
sent of the others. The plaintiffs obtained
their interest, they claim, by assignment.
Elkins, it is alleged, subsequently acquired
a title to more han two-thirds Of
the land, and he has suits now
pending in New Mexico by which
he seeks to obtain possession of the re-
mainder. A railway was run through the
land, and it is alleged that timber privi-
leges amounting to over $500, 900 were
sold by Elkins, who now proposed to sell
the land at rs cents an acre, which is far
below it actual value. The plaintiffs ask
that sElkins be compelled to fulfill his
trust to the other part of the owners and
that he also be required to give a true ac-
count and be restrained from disposing of
the property until the interest of the
company shall be determined. Judge
Lawrence granted a temporary injunction
restraining the defendants, principally
Elkins, from interfering with or disposing
of the property, and on the DIST Of July a
motion to continue the injunction will be
made.

BALTIMORE, June 2S.-Accounts of
the damage by the storm continues to
reach the city. The break in the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal, near Harpel's
ferry, where there are several culverts
and a bank for three hundred feet were
washed away, and will probably be the
most serious single loss, as navigation will
be suspended and transportation of coal
stepped until repairs are made, probably
requiring several weeks. Crops, cattle,
ences, and many public bridges are
carried away and other damage done. In
Cecil county the damage is very great.
The village of Rowlandsyille was almost
swept away, and with it the McCullough's
iron works, the principal industry of the
place, involving a loss estimated at $780,,
600. Numerous other counties also re-
port huge losses

PRESIDENT PoLIps WIDOW.
The Once Famous Beauty at Her Home
in Nashville.

From the Nashville Banner.
Right in the heart of Nashville stands a
large, old fashioned homestead of dull rcd
brick, its roof projecting over the broad
piazza. supported by great futed pillar,
and its general aspect conveying an in
plession of severe stateliness, IN pleasing
variance with the distorted would-be fash
ionable architecture in the same neighbor-
hood. A long lawn stretches in front Of
the house, and its pleasant green mono
tony is unbroken save by a plain and M s.
sive tomb of white marble, which carries
its own best epitaph in the simple in
scription, James X. Polk.
A ring at the bell brought to the door a
good natured colored girl, who took u
cards to the venerable and venerated
widow Of President Polk.
A woman like Mrs. Polk is a revelation
of the Beauties of ol age. Gentle b new
o~lence, broad reaching charity, ripe ex-
p~erience and a cultivation of nj nd that
~extenls beyond letters to mank nd shine
through her conversation, and a ready
memory, keen wit and a store of remi.-
scenes illuminate it.
Sixty years ago, at the time of her mar
riIge, Mrs. Polk was considered remari-
able for her beauty. and twenty years
after, when she presided at the White
House, it was 80 fresh and unimpaired S
to attract great admiration and be noted
in the published works and private jour
mails Of distinguished foreigners.
Time, Of course, has stolen the vivid
coloring and curved outlines of youth, but
he has not robbed her of the upright
figure and dignifed carriage, AMI h 5 left
brightness in her eyes an ~vivdc,ty in her
voice, besides lending an allied charm in
her flultlcss manners. Crown,l vi h
eighty years Of honor she rose to receive
us.
From the library Of the dea | president
she can gaze upon the tomb that marks
his resting place, and in that same libra y
rem ms his hat. gloves an | clnc, ju t
where he laid them when he came hon c
the last time. The book he WAS rea lirg
lies open on the table, AMI the papers Of
the day beside it.
In society. though fond of it, Mrs Polk
has never yet accepted an invitation sin c
her husbands death, though with graz =
full hospitality an tact she has receive |
on the first day Of ga h year the Tennessee
legislature, which adjourns in a DO " TO

A LIVELY ROUND UP.
Cowboys Cunning For Bold
Horse Thieves.
One Party Captured After a
Hard Chase,
And Rapidly Swung From a
Handy Tree Limb.
Horse Thieves at Work.

HELENA, Mont, June 2S.-Thursday
night Ed. Owens and 81 Nickerson stole
fourteen horses from the Benton & Bit
tings Stage Company, at Rock Springs
station, 100 miles northeast of Helena.
John Davis, Superintendent of the stage
line, pursued them down the Muscle
Shell River. When fifty miles below this
station he was told by cowboys that the
thieves passed with the horses a few
hours before. Fifteen cowboys volun-
teered to follow the trail. The thieves
were overtaken on Thursday thirty miles
north of Blacks ranch and attacked.
The cowboys were driven back, being
armed only with revolvers, while the hore
thieves had rifles. Men were sent to the
camp for guns and the fight was renewed.
81 Nickerson was shot dead and Ed.
Owens wounded, captured and hung.
William Jones and Tim Devin, cowboys,
were wounded.
On Thursday three men, names I'M
known, stole seven horses forty miles
southeast of Helena from the Boulder
Valley ranch while the owners were absent
on the round up. The theft was a bold
one, committed in broad daylight, and
witnessed by several. The horses were
driven up into the mountains. where they
icamped for the night. The men on the
round up were notified by a messenger.
They armed and followed, coming to the
camp at l O'Clock in the morning. The
thieves were ordered to throw up their
hands, but refused, and after firing at the
ranchmen fed into the thicket, one being
badly wounded by a return volley. All
escaped. None of the ranchmen were
hurt and the stock were all recovered.
There is more horse 2aealing now in
Montana than ever before.

, WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The commit
tee appointed by the House to ascertain if
Hon. W. H. English had used improper
means on the floor of the House to infu-
ence the members to vote to seat his son
as a member from Indiana, decided to-
day to reopen the case. When Willard
asked English during his examination
before the committee, if he had zone to
members at their homes to urge them to
vote for his son, objection was made and
the question was ruled out. After the
case had closed the Democrats thought
the matter over and decided that the
failure to answer the question would oe
looked upon as an admission that the ac-
c~usation was true, and it would be an
injustice to Mr.. English not to let him
reply. So on Tuesday next the case will
be reopened and English will be put on
the stand.
