GREENvILLE, Mich, May ga notice
of ejectment was Sunday served upon
Abraham Vanhorn, a farmer claiming the
title to Nanhorn's farm. A few years ago
the farm was sold to Nanhorn by Mrs
Lydia Lyons, who said when Nanhorn ex-
pressed doubt about the clearness of the
title; that she hoped God would strike her
dead if the title was not all right" Van
horn visited the woman at her home She
heard him through and then dropped to the
floor dead. Superstitious people think that
Mrs Lyons knew that the title she sold was
imperfect and that God struck her dead in
response to the prayer she uttered years
ago on the day the sale was effected.

died of shock when brought face to face

PORTLAND, Me, May 25-There is grea
excitement here, Monday morning Capt
Jesse Ellis entered at the custom house his
schooner Sisters, from Yarmouth, N. s.,
with cargo of 81 900 mackerel, taken last
Wednesday and consigned by w. A. kel,
lain, of Yarmouth, to +. F. Clement a. Co,
OF this city. Ellis signed the customary
oath that his report and manifest correctly
described the cargo of his vessel First
teputy Collector Col. Smith then asked for
the manifest
Il have none, replied Capt. Ellis Col
Smith expressed his sorrow that the cap
tian should have been caught, but told him
that nothing could be done in his case; that
he must in the usual course of the law pay
hi fine
How much!' asked tine captain. Five
hundred dollars, returned Col Smith.
MY God the little schooner won't bring
that" said the captain, as he stood there a
picture of distress
Nothing could be done for him, and Sur
veyor Bradbury sent inspector Howe to
| take formal charge of the schooner This
done, Capt Ellis and his crew We're allowed
| to 60 on discharging their cargo of 10000

1t was pathetic to see the captain and
| crew of the wretched looking schooner dis
| charging the cargo that the government OF
| the United States will claim Capt Ellis
| counted out the fish, but he had little heart
| in the work He was asked what he had to
| say. In a broken voice he replied:
| Nothing" Alone and tending the windlass

to talk He said: ''l'll get my pay, won't

DEATH OF DURBiN WARD.
The ''Oid Reliable" Ohio Democrat Passes
Away-His Chickamauga Remark.

Away-His Chickamaugs Remark.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 25-Gen Jesse
Durbin Ward, who died at his home in Le-
banon, Chic, Saturday afternoon, was
familiarly known here. His law practice
was in tt is county, and his Office was in
Cincinnati. Gen Ward was kentuckian
by birth, but moved early to Warren
county, Ohio and studied law with the dis
tinguished orator and statesman, Tom Cor
win. Gen. Ward set out in politics as a
Wing, but he alternated about Free-soil
times between the Wig and Frees parties,
and finally settled down in the Democratic
party At the Charleston convention he
was a delegate and an ardent Doug
las man When the war broke out
he volunteered a private SOL
der, but was transferred to another regi-
ment as its major He became its colonel,
and was wounded at Chickamauga and dis
| charged for disability but was afterward
reinstated. He was askeI at Chickamauga
| whether he could hold Il position in which
he had been placed, and replied that he
could, but lust now it is the belly of hell
| He was very elfe, tive stump speaker, and
always ready at his party call, but was
| unfortunate as candidate, being always
| defeated
No man questioned Wards great ability
| at the bar, but he was not close student.
| His temperament Was somewhat sluggish
| till aroused, and then he was all fire. 1t
was in protracted law cases that he
| showed oil best, and in these he was
| formidable adversary. As an orator he was
inspiring and magnetic.
| Gen. Ward had been suffering from
| rheumatism for several months during
which time he was mostly confined to his
house lie recently began to improve, but
on Thursday had a relapse, from which he
never re o, cred.
| Leopold Won I;anke, the Historian.
| BERLIN, May 2'.-Irofessor Leopold Won
| Ranke, the aged German historian, who
died Sunday, was born at Wicho, Thur
ingia Dec. u, l7a1 lie was regarded as
one Of the ablest historical writers of the
day, and was recently elected a member of
the American Historical society. He early
| embraced the profession of teacher, and In
| 1878 became the head matter of the gymna-
stun at Frankfort on the Oder, desoting
his leisure hours TO historical studies. His
History of the Roman and Gerrnanic Peoples
from 1894 to 1883, " and A Critique Upon
the Later Historians" published in 1929,
attracted so much attention that he was in
vi,ei to Berlin in 1925 as professor extraor-
dinary of history in the university, and was
sent in lS2; by the PrusSian government to
Vienna, Rome an Venice, to examine the
historical materials there deposited. The
work in which he displays the most labor
ious investigation is his German History of
the Times of Reformation He was en-
gagged at the time OF his death on History
of the Worl II of which several volumes had
appeared, and thu whole work was nearly
complete when he was stricken.
