make out case of suicide, while all
the facts and experts were against that
theory. Finally the heirs, weary of
htlgation which was eating up their
substance, compromised with the COM
panies for half the amount of insur-
anee. Recently dying sailor confess
ed that he murdered the Greek, and
the bridgeport mystery was cleared
up. The latter case is that of Norman
Il. HARDWOOD who recently died in Flori-
da with $500, 900 insurance on his life.
He began the world rich, became a
heavy speculator, and failed for nearly
two millions. His wife who had
brought him 800, 900, still had $95, 900
in her own right. With this they in
vested in Florida lands, and the inn
provements and orange groves have
made the property worth half a million
or more. When in easy circumstances
Harwood commenced insurlng his life
with his surplus revenue. But his
creditors kept track of him, and of late
had sued for their money. At length
case was decided against him, and
one morning soon after he was found
dead in his house. His death was pro-
nounced by the doctors due to concus-
sion of the brain. The interested in
surance companies set up claim of
suicide, and have sent agents and eX-
perts to Florida, il is stated, for the
purpose of getting at the truth. In
the case of the heavily insured Greek
they steered as far as they could away
from the truth, as has since been prov
ed by the confession of the dying muir
derer, and his return of a peculiar and
well-remembered ring which he had
torn from the dead mans finger. But
we shall see about the truth of the
Florida case.

discovered the dead body lying upon

What may be done by a community
in the way of tree planting in an arid
district has been exenplified at James
town, in South Australia. Five years
ago the corporation commenced the
plantation of previously treeless re-
gion with timber. Up to that date the
place must have been as undesirable a
town to live In as could be found. In
summer there was nothing to mitigate
the binding glare of the sun or the in
tOlerable radiation of the heat from the
assured surface of tIe hard-baked
earth. The hot winds swept across a
wide expanse of scorching country,
bringing with them clouds of all-pene-
trating dust. In the winter there were
no natural means of breaking the force
or diminishing the inclemeney of the
gales which came bowling down from
the north. But the corporation has
changed all that. 1t has planted over
1850 trees of various kinds, and the
once glaring and dusty streets are pro-
tected, shaded, and ornamented with
several beautiful varieties of gums.

There is one level-headed man in the
Republican party who recognizes the
eternal fitness of things. His name is
A. T. Howard, and he lives at Ports
mouth, n. III. He was a collector of
customs at that port under three Re-
publican administrations, but now
that the other party has come into
power, he sees his way clear to send in
his resignation. In doing so, he says:
have always during all that time been Il
jealous member of the Republican party,
and in every way possible contributed to its
success. Consequently my offensive parti-
sanship can be established by many witness
es. For twenty years / have also been a
firm believer in the old Jacksonian doctrine,
"To the victor belongs the spells" Consist
ency, therefore, compels me firmly to adhere
to these principles and convictions in defeat
as we'll as in victory.

a lightning rod peddler named H. G.
Keisler was in Pennington, and board

bad luck and left here owing Mrs.
Marks $40. On the 22d ult., Thos.
Marks received letter from him in

ing heard of Mrs. Marks death. MIR.
Marks wrote telling him that Mrs.
Marks was still living here. On the
following Wednesday she received a
letter from him containing check for
the amount and interest from 1888 up
to date. He wrote he had for long
time been unable to pay the debt, but
he has proved himself to be 'An honest
man, the noblest work of God."

THE dispatches Wednesday brough

= THE dispatches Wednesday brought
the news of the resignation of Pre-
mier Gladstone and his Cabinet. The
immediate cause of this resignation
was the defeat of the budget, and the
immediate cause of the defeat of the
budget, was the proposition of the gov
ernment'to tax beer instead of bread
and meat. 1t has been predicted for a
long time that Gladstone must fall.
His dilatory and disastrous conduct of
the Soudan campaign lost him many
friends. His back-down before Russia
In Afghanistan lost him more. His
attempt to put tax upon beer was the
last straw that broke the back of his
majority. Nevertheless William Ew-
art Gladstone is a grand old man,
whose like will not be looked upon for
many days. He is defeated but it is
doubtful if there is one to take his
place.

SETTLED AT LAST,
Justice Miller Decides that the
Railroad Title to the Even Sec
tions In Allen County is Per-

The celebrated Martin VS.. Lawler
ejectment case came before JusticeI
Miller, of the U. s. Supreme Court, al
Leavenworth last Friday, and his de.
cision upon it must forever remove all
doubt as to the title of the class of lands
involved. When the case was first
called, the attorneys for the League,
as usual, asked for a continuance. The
Justice refused to grant them this.
They then interposed the bubble that
the deed from the railroad company
was signed by the vice-president of the
company when it should have been
signed by the president. When this
point was raised Justice Miller was
obliged to rule that the deed as it now
appears is void, and signified his will
1ngness either to continue the case or
TO dismiss it without prejudice, so that
the error might be corrected. In MAX
ing this ruling the Justice took occas-
ION to say that the patent from the
government to the railroad was all
right, and that the railroad title to the
lands. an question could not be attack
ed. The only point in which Mr.. Mar
tins title is at fault, is through mere
technical mistake in the signing of the
first deed of transfer. This of course
can be easily corrected, and at the next
term of the Federal court Mr.. Martin
will be put i'm possession of his land.
This is the most important decision
that has yet been given in these suits
as 1T settles the title to a very large
body of land. This was made a test
case, and there are written stipulations
ON hie in the District Court of this coun-
", which provide that the parties to
IL similar suits shall abide by the de-
cision in this one. In addition to these.
SUIT Will now be brought doubtless, by
all other owners of even sections. who
are unable at present to get possession
OF their lands. The result of this gen
eral move will certainly weaken the
League to such an extent that its final
dissolution must come speedily.
The REGISTER has always contend
Ell that the railroad title to the even
sections was absolutely above question,
and 1t is glad that its position is now
justified by decision from one of the
ablest judges in the United States.
