address to the Prince on the occasion OF his Visit

The possibility of an attack OF cholera THIS
year makes it imperative upon the city authorl-
ties to exercise every care in guarding the
public health. For this purpose the Board OF
Health desires to impose greater restrictions Oh

the business Is to be tolerated in the thickly

fortunate time for strikers. as few employers

The Aldermen are no doubt very wise, but
they are hardly wise enough to stop the specu-
iation in theatre tickets. After long cOnsidera-
tion they thought, year or two ago, to abate
the evil by requiring speculatOrs to procure
licenses. That ordinance had no appreciable
effect, but an effort yesterday to repeal it and
impose new restrictions was defeated 1t is in
the power of the managers to break up this evil,
and until they decide to act the Aldermen can
accomplish little In that direction.
New-York tribune., 1885-03-17

1t would be an extremely fortunate thing If
this city could have high-license law, such as
was proposed at the meeting last night in
Grace Chapel. But it is rather late to hope for
such action from the present Legislature.
Even the owners of liquor shops are willing to
admit that there are altogether too many such
places now in the city. Many of them favor
high-license law. There seems to beno hope Of
ever getting an Excise Board that viii use any
discretion in licensing liquor shops other than
those that are required by tho necessities OF
Democratic politicians. The present Board, or
rather its two Democratic members, have
recently licensed some Of the worst dens in the
eity. A high-hcense law would be9ess difficult.

There is not much prospect of an early break
in the deadlock over the election OF Senator
in Illinois. 1t will be some time yet before all
the Republicans will be in their seats. Mr..
Morrison said yesterday that he should not
withdraw until he received the full vote of all
those members who had been elected as Demo
Gratis. There is no probability that all the So
called Democrats VIII ever vote for Mr. Morrison
and should they do so he would not have votes
enough to elect him. But he probably realizes
that there is no chance of success for Demo-
crat,

questions as to the sexual relations OF men
and women, attempts are made to bribe
men to work up cases against their neigh
bors. Notoriously disreputable characters
are employed to spy into mems family re-
lations."
The document concludes as follow:
"We protest against unfair treatment on
the part of the General Government. We
protest against the continuance Of Terrific
rial bondage subversive to the rights of
freemen, and contrary to the spirit of Amer
ican institutions. We protest against spe-
cial legislation, the result of popular preju-
dice and religious intolerance. We protest
against the conscience of one class of citl-
zen being made the criterion by which to
Judge another. We protest against the ty-
ranny Of Federal officials, and continuance
in Office of men who disgrace their positions
and use their official powers as a means OF
oppression. We protest against the partial
administration of the Edmuuds law, the
punishment of one class for protecting their
religion, and the exemption from prOsecu-
tion the votaries of lust and crime. We pro-
test against the breaking up of family rela-
tions formed previous to the passage of the
Edmunds law, the depriving of woman
and her children of the support and protec-
tion of their husbands and fathers. We pro-
testagainst the prosecution of persons, many
of whom are intirm and aged, and who en-
tered into the plural marriage before it was
any law. We respectfully ask for the ap-
pointment by the President of a commits
sion to fairly and thoroughly investigate
the Utah situation, and pending its report
we soemnly protest against continuance
of these mercless crusades.

A BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.

The following is an account of bold and
successful train robbery that occurred near
Harrodsburg, Kentucky, last Thursday
night:
The express matter is usually carried in
the baggage car occupied by the messenger
and baggage master. 1t was, as usual, the
first car on the train. The messengers
name was George n. Davis, of Louisville.
Thursday night at at II 1G o'clock the train
stopped four or five minutes for water at
Harrodsburg, Monroe county. j. H. Ham
ilton, passenger, happened to be looking
out of a window, and by the reflection of
the light from the engine saw a man
emerge apparently from the track and dis
appear in the direction Of the engine. He
carried a club or stick. When Smithvllle
Hill station, about two miles north of Har-
rodsburg was reached the sharp ring OF the
bell in the enjine stopped the train, and De,
fore an inquiry as to who pulled the bell
open the door Of the smoking car and reeled
in covered with blood. He gasped out to
the Mortified passengers that a robber had
entered the baggage car and shot him and
the express messenger, and then fell uncon-
scious. Conductor Chamberlain entered the
baggage car and found Davis stretched in
a pool of blood by the side of his safe,
which had been broken open and plumber
ed Everywhere there was evidence of a
terrific struggle. The floor was Uttered
with papers that the assassin had taken
from the safe, and heavy boxes stored in
the car were scattered around in confusion.
Davis, who was breathing, was carried into
the smoker. He had been shot in the up
per part of the head. Webber, the bag
gage master afterwards said that both doors
of the car were open at Harrodsburg, and
he and Davis were asleep. Just after the
train got in motion Webber was awaken
ed by a violent blow on the head. Stag
gering to his feet he saw a tall, muscular
man struggling with Davis. The messen-
ger was bespattered with blood which, was
gushing from wound in his head, he also
having evidently been struck with a club
while asleep. Webber fell to the floor.
Davis managed to loosen his right hand
and draw his revolver, but before he could
fire, the robber wrenched the weapon from
his grasp and fired. The ball struck the
messenger in the head and he fell dying.
When the safe had been rifled, the robber
left the train as it slowed up in answer to
the bell. Davis lived at Louisville, was 81
wears old and unmarried. Webber lives at
New Albany, Indiana, is % years old, mar
ried and has several children.

SUPREME COURTDECIsION.

Below we print the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Templeton VS.. Lowry, ap-
pealed from York county. The proceeding was
instituted by the plaintiff for betterment under
statute which reads as follows: "That after
final Judgment in action to recover lands and
tenements in favor of the plaintiff, if the defend
ant has purchased the lands and tenements re-
covered in such action = supposing at
the time of such purchase such title to be good
in fee, q such defendant shall be entitled
to recover of the plaintiff in such action the full
value of all improvements made upon such land
by such defendant" &c. The Supreme Court
decides:
The statute makes no provision or exception
for q case in which the purchaser shall after
the purchase obtain notice, or even knowl-
edge, that the title was in another. The only
thing necessary for his recovery is that he sup
he was purchasing was good title in fee.
This is necessarily question of fact So, too,
as to what a party is entitled to recover is not
left in any doubt. He is entitled to recover
the value Of all improvements made upon the
land by the party from which 1t has been recov
ered
There is no Limitation as to the time when such
improvements may have been made, whether
before or after notice, or even knowledge Of title
in another.
The verdict in the former case of Lowry vs.
Templeton only established the right of Lowry
to recover the land and the damages he had sus-
tained "for cutting and removing timber from
the premises The question at issue in this
case could not arise or be determined in that
case.

KEROSENE ACCIDENT,

Jon Friday morning last the children of Joe
Edwards, colored, who lives in the northeast
section of town, were left in the house by them
selves, with instructions to start fire at II
o'clock. At that hour the oldest one, six or seven
years of age, proceeded to kindle fire, pouring
on it Kerosene from the can. The oil in the can
was ignited, blowing. out the bottom Of the can,
and communicating the flame to a younger child
standing near by, who was so seriously burned
