AN IMPORTANT DECREE.
A Tax Title TO Property Does Not
give Possession.

decree of unusual Importance has been
rendered in the Court in General Term af-
fecting the validity Of tax titles. The de-
cision is of peculiar Importance here on ac.
count of the vast amount OF real estate held
here under tax titles particularly on Capt.
tol Hill.
The case on trial was that of Keefe
against Bramhall, and the plaintiff, who
held the tax title, sought to dispossess the
defendant who claimed to be the real
owner. The property was sold for taxes in
the year 1927 for $l.42. No tax deed was
made to the purchaser until 1911, thirteen
years later and no possession was taken
under the tax title until 1870. The unaui-
nous opinion of the court was that even
conceding that the plaintiff had colorado
title there was nothing TO show that this
tax deed amounted to anything at all. The
fact that he had a tax deed, that the tax
deed was recorded, and that he paid the
taxes on the property was no proof of title
at all as against the real owner.
Thirteen years of adverse possession by
the complainant did not make title. 1t
requires twenty years of adverse possession
to make good title, and that adverse
possession must be open, notorious and
actual, not constructive.
The court concluded that on every ground
the bill ought TO be dismissed.

The Con fession of a Murderer.

ST.. LOUIS, March 27.-Lincoln County in
this State is excited over the confession of a
murderer, who, having been tried and ac-
quilted, thinks himself. safe and boldly
tells the story of the crime. In July, 1888,
Mack Wilkinson, wealthy farmer was
shot dead in his bed during the night. Sus-
picion fell upon Wesley Gibson, nephew,
who had been on very intimate terms with
Wilkinson's young and handsome wife.
The woman was also arrested, but released
after Gibson had been tried and acquitted
for want of evidence. Since then the cou-
pie have lived together but have frequently
quarreled. 1t is supposed to be her threats
of exposure, made during one of these
quarrels, that has led Gibson now to bravo
fate by confessing that he and Mrs. Will
kinson, finding tho farmer an obstacle to
their wishes, hired a negro farm hand to
shoot him. The negro and Mrs. Wilkinson
have now been arrested. Public feeling is
very bitter against the self-confessed MUIR
derer, and it is believed that he will be

THE HyNuM- HENDRICKS FIGHT.
various Comment - MIR. Bynum
Says He Had ihe Thing Certain

various Comment - MIR. Bynum
says He Had ihe Thing Certain
Once.
Last night and to-day there was great
deal Of comment made upon the appoint
ment of AQuilla Jones to be postmaster at
indianapolis. The Indianans have talked
incessantly about IL. Representative By
mum has almost the entire sympathy of the
people here, yet good many of the best
heads suggest that some kind of au ar
rangement should have been entered into
which would have avoided this fight If
Mr.. Hendricks was entitled to name the.
man, Mr.. Bynum should have refused to
interfere, and vice versa.
Mr.. Creelman, the defeated candidate, is
tho warm, personal friend of Mr.. Bynum,
and no one blames the latter for standing
out for him, yet 1t seems that the protests
sent in by wholesale merchants against his
appointment very much blighted his chances
of success.
A CRITIC man inquired of Mr. Bynum
why the remonstrances were made by the
Indianapolis wholesalers against Creelman's
appointment,
men, altogether and were worked mp and
prompted by jealousy. Creelman controls
very large share of the wholesale grocery
trade at Indianapolis, you see. The pro-
tests played no part however, in settling
the question"
"Were you confident that Creelman
would be appointedY
"Up to the very hour the nomination OF
Jones was sent in. | was never more con-
fdent Of anything than that Creelman
would to be the man. i was assured of ii
by the Postmaster General and was given
to understand that the President was with
me. / don't think Mr.. Hendricks could
have secured the appointment without
begging tho President, most abjectly, for it
and making the matter one Of political life
or death with him"
MIR. Bynum is quoted as saying that Mr.
Hendricks assured him at Indianapolis
before coming here, and also after arriving
in Washington, that he would not interfere
| in the appointment Of postmaster.

AMERICAN ARMS FOR ENGLAND.
The Gun Factory Agents Evnsive.

New YORK, March GA reporter
visited some well-known military equip.
ment firms yesterday to learn If they had
received any orders from England or
Russia The agents Of the Remington
said eve do not like to talk of these
matters, but if you will come again when
the nations are actually at war, perhaps we
will be able to tell you something
The agents of the United States Metallic
Arms Company of Ansonia, Conn, said
they had heard of no such orders, and did
not think England would have TO go away
from homo for her supplies. The agent for
the Smith & Wesson weapons had heard OF
no foreign orders. Such orders could not
be concealed from the trade, IL they ex-
listed. The S. d. Newhall Company who
sold 10000 NIartini-Henry rifles during
the Russo Turkish war, said they had not
been offered any contract, but the prospec,
of war had somewhat raised the market
value of army supplies.

A 100000 FIRE.
A Big blaze Near Detroit This
Morning.


DGTRoIT, MfcH., March 27.-About 1
o'clock this morning 1ro broke out in the
dry.kiln of tho Michigan Carbon Works at
Rougevlle, suburb of this city. The bono
black building almost Immediately caught,
and in o short time was completely in
flames. The works are supplied with hand.
engines, which were however, entirely In
adequate to cope with fire Of such magni-
tude, and the efforts Of the force were d.
iected to an endeavor to prevent spread
of the flames. Word was telephoned TO this
city for assistance, and two engines were
Immediately sont out. Ats o'clock the fire
was still raging liercely, although the
Hamts had about accomplished their work.
The walls of the different buildings fell
crashing in, and the fire was believed to be
under control. The worlSmen stood around
in groups, anxiously awaiting the arrival
of the promised engines from this city Tho
fire started in the kiln, where a number of
employees were at work. There was loud
report as If made by an explosion, and IN a
moment tho premises were ablaze. The
woIkmen rushed out and the fire soon
spread Throughout the building. 1t became
apparent that the kiln was doomed, aud
that a serious conilagration would onsue.
IL is impossible as yet to estimate the
damage.
Tho property of the Michigan Carbon
Works is worth about half n million. The
plant alone is valued at $250,000, aud the
stock on hand at about as much more. The
works were erected about three years ago
and employed nearly 200 men. They were
considered to be one Of the most complete
of their kind in the United States. They
did business of 100000 annually, and it
was necessary to operate them night and
day. 1t is thought the loss will reach
$500,000. Insured for 100000 Several
employees were reported to have been more
or less burned, but none seriously. Isaac
Burke, general foreman, fell from one of the
buildings aud sustained serious injuries.

ARKANSAS CRY, KAN, March 27.--Gen-
eral Hatch, who has been. absent from the
seat of the oklahoma war for thrco days
returned yesterday afternoon, and at once
called consultation with Major Renteeu,
who had come up from the main camp on
Chilicoo Creek. A courier came in late
with the information that whom the COM
pany of cavalry, which was sent from Camp
Russell to destroy the rancho Of Burke &
Martin, reached the Cimarron River, 1t was
found that the stockmen had been fore
warned of what was coming and had taken
down both their houses and carried them TO
the south side of the river, aud had also
driven their stock across and were on the
Kiowa Indian reservation.
This reservation has been leased by tho
Kiowa Indians TO some cattle men, with
whom Burke and Martin had made ar
rangcments permitting them to hold their
cattle thereon for few days at least. This
reservation is outside the Oklahoma lands,
but is so close TO them, with only a small
stream intervening that the move Of the
Burke and Martin people, while IL puts
them outside of military interference, al
lows them to use the OK lahoma lands for
grazing purposes.
The Boomers say General Hatch and the
enemies of the Oklahoma movement have
claimed all along that there were no cattle
in Oklahoma, and yet in tho faco of this,
General Hatch now sends troops into Okla
homa with orders to drive out certain mon
who have been holding ranches there for
years, and of whose presence General Hatch
should have known, but he only half does
it, as there are at least dozen more cattle
firms still there, among them the Wyeth
Cattle Company the Mcclellan Cattle Com
pany, Howard 6 Titus, II. B. Campbell,
Ben. Keith, and others.
These men claim to hold their cattle on
the Cherokee strip, where they have large
leases, but there are no fences between this
strip and Oklahoma, and the cattle roam at
will. The owners claim that their stock
may drift into Oklahoma during the win
ter, but this could not be prevented. One
large owner says some of his cattle have
drifted as far south as the Red River.
General Weaver of Iowa, who Is in Wash
ington, telegraphed yesterday to Captain
Couch, in command of the Boomers, now
here, that he had called upon Secretary
Lamar and President Cleveland and it was
believed he would shortly appoint the Okla
homa Commission in pursuance of the re-
cent act Of Congress. 1t is thought here
that this commission has already been de-
cded upon and that 1t will consist OF Sena-
tor Dawes Of Massachusetts, Morgan of Ala
bama, and Ingalls, of Kansas.

. Trial for Heresy

When a clergyman's enemies want to de-
stroy him they charge him with heresy and
get up trial to prove that his doctrines
are all wrong. When Old Satan wants to
upset minister's usefulness he attacks him
with fit of dyspepsia. But Satans eff
forts in this direction can be defeated by
the use of Browns Iron Bitters. The Rev.
j. ID. Tehring, of Codorus Pa, was com
pletely restored from severe illness by
Browns Iron Bitters. So was the Rev
Mr.. Barham, of Warrentown, S. G. The Rev
Mr.. Ohley, of Newbern, S. c., says, "It is

weeks ago. His sons have been trying to
get him away from the custody of their sis
ter at whose house the old gentleman has
been living. Tuesday one of the sons called
to take his father to luncheon and took him
to his own house, refusing to admit the
daughter to see him. AS result Of the
lady's application to the court on this state
of facts, Judge Van Brunt yesterday ordered
Mr. Durant returned to his daughters Gus
tody, but also ordered the appointment OF a
committee to administer tho estate, which
is valued at between one and two million

General McNein's Recall.

LONDON. March 27.-The Duke Of Cam

question of the recall of General McNeill.
General Graham's tactics in the advance
from Suakim are causing increased discon-
tent among officers and men. 1t is reported
that the decisive attack on Tamai had been
postponed in consequence of the break down
of the transport service. Owing to the
cowardly conduct Of the Sepoys when fac
ing the Arabs in the fight on Sunday, the
force that will attack Tamai will be COM
posed solely of the British and Sikh regi-
