fallen into the hands of a purchaser who will
preserve the romance and historical interest that

AN HISTORICAL SPOT.
The Bonaparte Estate, Near Trenton, n. j., To
BE Repaired.


Trenton Special.
The old Bonaparte estate at Bordentown, a
few miles below this city, will soon undergo ex
tensive changes The historical old property so
long the abode Of the exiled French king and his
daughter, has boon purchased by Mr.. Henry T.
Coleman, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer
He intends using the old mansion for summer
residence. The estate embraces 2l3 acres
Mr.. Coleman secured the entire property at a
reasonable price, averaging about $3.50 an acre.
That portion of the park lying to the extreme
west. and commanding splendid view Of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and
overlooking the Delaware river as it winds
along, is full of romance. The old King
called it Point Breeze and spent the larger por-
ton of his time in the observatory that he built
where the view the finest. The observa-
tory was bluff above the creek that flows
into the river near. Sixty stone steps led from
the observatory to the water below. The OBJ
servatory proper was one hundred feet high, and
in the dome at the top Joseph Bonaparte sat
hour after -Four, wrapped in deep thought or en-
raptured by the scenery. of which he never
seemed to tire.
The observatory is now a mass of ruins, but
those ruins are as interesting as they pct-
uresque. The new proprietor will leave them
as they are, SO that the strangers who make pill
grimages to the spot may find all the old land
marks. All around the observatory are places
aud objects identified with the ex-monarch s so
journ. There is the brick subterraneous passage
that led to the river bank. and which ira
dition says was built by the exiled
chieftan as means of escape in Gaze
his life was imporiled 1t is known that for
years Bonaparte feared that the Spaniards would
try to assassinate him. He never had cause to
use the passage, however, and the tame deer
kept in the park often used the archway as a re-
treat Through this part of the park runs the
little stream KNOWN as Bonaparte's run 1t glides

William Wheeler. two prominent farmers of that
county. Some days ago Goodies cattle got into

bullets from Wheelers pistol, and Wheeler seven
or eight stabs or cuts from Goodies knife. Both
