The local Y. NJ q. A. is now located
in its new and comfortable quarters over
the Peoples National bank on Second

quarters now occupied by the association
are better in every way than any in this
vicinity. The rooms-four in number
are all ninety feet deep, the first fronting
on Second avenue, being the reception
room, which is separated by heavy cur
tains from the reading rooms. An arch
has been cut between these two rooms, so
that they can be thrown into one by
drawing aside the curtains. Back of
these rooms is the committee room
neatly arranged, and in the rear is the
gymnasium, which will be fitted up next
week and provided with horizontal bars,
boxing gloves, dumb bells, Indian clubs,
and a towing machine. This is an insti-
tuition which has been introduced

A Lawsuit Over the Estate of Prince Who
Was Killed in a Duel.
VIENNA, March 29-Three of the leading law
yers Of the Hungarian bar will proceed to Eng
land in the interest Of the estates of Prince Gus
tave Batthyana, who was killed in a duel in 1883.
The late Prince left unentailed property to an
English lady named Mrs. Smith. Prince Ed
mund, upon taking possession of the entailed
family estates, found that they had lessened in
value during Prince Gustave's possession, and
that this decrease in value was attributable to
neglect In order that the estates might remain
in the family. they were originally entailed with
conditions which bound each possessor to trans
NIT them unimpaired in value to his successor.
Prince Edmund was obliged, therefore, In estab-
fishing his right of succession according to age,
to ascertain the exact condition of the property.
He accordingly placed himself under obligations
to sue Mrs. Smith, and the visit of the lawyers
to England will be made for the purpose Of re-
covering from her sum sufficient to cover the
lessened value of the estate.

Now want to supplement- what have said
ing, receiving charges against men in Office and
refusing them hearing by some individual in
stances of injustice
The postmaster at Shelbyville Ind, was a
soldier who had served his country for four
years When the shock of war broke upon
this land, when treason took the field, this man.
raiying with thousands of other Indianlans
under the flag of his country, stepped, not into
a place of ease and emolument, but into the
bloody front of battle, and for four years, on
dreary marches in dangers of battle, in the
WEAKNESS of hospital, his brave heart in every
place to which he was called gave it's best serv-
ice to the defense of the country and the honor
of the flag 1t happened that in recognition of
this he held the postof6ce at Shelbyvilie. and he
held it acceutably, not only to his Republican
friends, but, as | shall show you upon the testi-
mony of the Democratic newspaper, he had dis
charged his Office creditably and to the satisfac-
ton of all. Last summer he was suspended
from Office. 1t was understood through the
town that some charges had been presented
against him. The men who made them did not
disclose themselves, and he could gather at home
no intimation as to their character. Whether
they affected his personal integrity, whether
they charged maladministration of the Office,
or whether he was simply charged with being q
Republican he could not tell. He sat down and
addressed the Postmaster general letter, ask
ing in the most respectful way to be advised of
the character of the charges against him He
got no answer. Need add that Who did get
any answers Failing to get an answer from the
Postmaster general, he addressed me this letter:

Dear Sir-tt is reported in the newspapers that
have been suspended postmaster at this place,
