AN EX-SLAvEs SUR FOR PROPERTY.
His Flight from Ills Master and Loss of His
Fathers Estate.

BUFFALO, March IA story will be told in
the Superior Court on March 80, which for thrill
ing interest win surpass that Of any suit at law
which has been tried for years. Alfred N.
Thomas the central figure in the case, is pew
erfuy built, distinguished looking man of color,
whose age is probably fifty-eight years. 1t is
stated that, in his younger days, Thomas was
looked upon as hereditary king among his
people, inheriting directly from African ances-
tors. He was regarded with something akin to
fear in the days Of his slavery, and this feeling
extended to his owners. He is now living in a
two-story brick house on BuDdy street, which
he owns. The estate to which he lays claim ir-
cludes several other pieces of property in that To-
cality amounting.in all to between $500 and
$40, 900 in value There are several pieces of
real estate, and it will be necessary to go over
the whole history of the case in court in order to
arrive at a clear understanding of its merits.
Thirty five years ago Thomas was working on
Charleston, West Virginia He-had little cabin
and wife and child, all owned by the man who
had the legal rights to call him slave.
Passing into possession of Daniel H. Kline, he
made an arrangement with his owner whereby
he was to purchase his own freedom by working
extra hours for others than his master. He had
nearly paid for himself when Kline sold him to
man named Hickland, and wrote a letter to
Charleston which Thomas was instructed to de
liver in that city. He started, little dreaming
of the contents of the letter. To reach the
town, it was necessary for him to pass the cabin
where his wife was. Somehow the latters sus-
picions were aroused. The letter was skilfully
opened and read. 1t contained instructions to
the sheriff of Kanawha county, John Slack, to
seize Thomas and lock him up Deciding
at once to fly and fearing that he would be inter
cepted by telegraph, he climbed pole, cut the
wire, but did not allow the ends tc drop. He
skilfuly fastened the ends together the circuit
being interrupted and replaced the wire in its
original place. So successfully was this done
that the repairers never fully restored connection
and the wire was abandoned. He finally reached
Canada and when the war began became SOL
der His father, who had married second
wife. lived in Buffalo until his death. He came
to Buffalo where he found his father, who had
married again. The young man enlisted in the
war and when emancipation proclaimed,
brought his family to this city. He had been
set UP in business, his father promising to make
him his heir. Young Albert was sent to school,
graduated from Fisk University and then from
Yale College Law School, now practicing in this
city His stepmother sold houses and appropri-
ated moneys without waiting for the rightful
heir to return. That was four years ago. The
real heir now sues to recover the property.

THE CHEWING-GUM CROP.
WoOdsmen Bringing the Perfume of the
Spruce from the Maine Forests.

BANGOR, March 17-This is great gum year
that the sun is climbing up into the north little
and the lumbermen are coming out, the air is
fairly redolsnt with the perfume of spruce. The
logs, knees, and bark are not the only valuable
parts OF the great timber tree, for the gum is
worth considerable, even in its rough state, just
as it is hacked from the crotches of old trees
There two three firms here which buy
large quantities of it from the lumtessnen and
gum hunters for the purpose of refining it, as
they say. But as general thing the refining
consists in adulteration with rosin. They throw
itinto big kettle, bark and all, and boil it to
about the consistency of thick Tolasses,
skiQming the impurities off as they

Some gum is treated in this way without adulter-
alton.
The best gum comes from no particular local
Sty, but always from the biggest trees. The
doctors up here say chewing gum benefits the
teeth. The loggers, in their many idle hours by
tho campfire, white out miniature barrels from
blocks of cedar or white pine hollow them out,
and fill them with the choicest gum the woods
afford for gifts to their sweethearts children or
friends, when they 'come down. in the spring
Others who go into the woods for gum alone,
bring down big bags of gum, and sell it to man
nfacturers of the improved article Up here
Adulterated gum is called patent gum.

Lamar and Garland.

Gath's Washington Special.
spoke to Judge Miller about the new admin
istratlou, and he said, among other things: II
think that Secretary Lamar ought to have the
gentlest consideration of every man Of good
heart. His health is far from perfect He is
subject to organic troubles of the head, which
require him to be very careful of his habits and
manner. He is an excellent man, kind, scholarly,
patriotic. Everything he does involves with
him risk of health and even life" / referred
to Mr.. Garland of Arkansas, and Judge Miller
said: II have had to hold court in the district
comprising Arkansas good deal since the war.
Garland is the most thoroughly reconstructed
man of influence and position that / know of.
He went through the Confederacy as one of its
civil advisers. He had not been in the popular
majority in his State long before the war. He
did the best he cond for his people, caught up
in the strong ferment Of great revolution.
After the war; when went to Arkansas, he CO.
operated with our court like noble man. When,
in the course of time, he was elected Governor of
Arkansas, he wrote me letter saying that he
wished me to feel friendly toward him, and to
meet him without any regard to mere party
lines"
Said l: "Judge Miller, what is the quality of
Garlands legal mindp
''He is not always logical said Judge Miller,
"but lie has great adaptive faculty to bring
things in not strictly in the line of logic, and
make his arguments broad and interesting. He
is one of those advocates whom have heard in
Washin gton and in the West, who informs the
court, even at the expense Of its desire some
times to get to the legal points"

THE MENDELSSoHN CONCERT.
A Delightful Musical Event at Plymouth
Congregational Church Last Evening.

The concert given by the Mondelssohn Society
at Plymouth Church, last evening, attracted an
audience that filed the lower auditorium and
over two-thirds of the gallery. The closest at
tention was given to the programme throughout
| and there was an atmosphere of enjoyment
which, if at times critical, proved discriminating
in appreciation Under the new regime the
Mendelssohn Society is success. 1t is an Of
shoot OF the former Choral Society, augmented
by number of fine voices, among them those of
Mrs. j. j. Cole Miss Anna Baggs, and Messrs.
Geiger and Carey
The chorus now numbers seventy-fve people,
| and the orchestra thirty pieces. The former was
most effective in Pinsuti's Spring a part
song rendered at former concert, by the old
society, but nevertheless heard to advantage
last evening, with much stronger chorus The
work of the orchestra was thorough and salts
factory in the extreme. The overture to
Romeo and Juliet, by Bellini proved gem. in
that melodious composers happiest vein. One
of the most forcible strains in this number was
the syncopated passage for comets, dissolving
into grand climax The string quartete opus
l25, by Schubert, was executed with skill and
was warmly aplauded.
Mrs. John c. New sang "Staccato Polka in
fine voice, giving passage of twenty measures
of staccato notes, embelished by closing trill,
and ending with high G with apparent ease. She
was the recipient of vociferous recall. Myer
beers "Chanson Hueuenots' was rendered by
Dir. L. A. Doschey in a manner that proved him
an artist of the highest school Of the lyric stage.
In the opening recitatve. his phrasing and finish
showed his ability. and met with hearty re-
Spouse from the audience. He possesses the
robust style of delivery, more common
to the German than either the Italian or French
singer, although he is of the latter nationality.
His voice is a resonant bass of good compass
and excellent timber
Mr. Edwin G. Clarke is most graceful leader,
and controls the instruments under his charge
with evident. ease. He is doing good work
here, and the audience of last evening in point
of size and culture, was compliment to his
efforts.
