A FAM : US LAW SUIT ENDED.
Mrs. Gaines vs.. New Orleans The
Greatest suit Known i'm America.

The supreme court Of the United States
has rendered final decision in case that
in its sensational features, the bitterness
with which il has been contested and its
protracted litigation through over 30 years,
stands without parallel in the judicial
annals of this country, and throws into the
shade many of the celebrated cases in the
English chancery courts.
This is the suit of Myra Clark Gaines
against the city of New Orleans. Since 1894
this case has been in the courts. The vari-
Gus suits have cen fought slvagely and re-
lentlessly. Opprobrium, abuse, vitupera-
ton, ana Islander have been poured upon all
connected with the case. Mrs Gaines has
been assailed as an impos.or, her Legitimacy
has been called in question, her mother has
been declared a bigamist and an impure
woman. When the eXigency seemed TO de-
mand it, even the manhood and virility of
Gen. Clark, whose child Mrs. Games
claimed TO be, have been disputed.
The case has been tried time and aga n
in the courts of Louisiana and this is the
tenth time 1t has been in the United States
supreme court. 1t is now declared that the
closing act of the drama has come, and MIR.
Beckwith, the attorney for the city of New
Orleans, says the resources of the law have
beer exhausted, and that if defeated there
is nothing for the city TO do but to make
some arrangement for the damages award
ed by the court.
Inc contests DcbWecu MIS-. AIdlutS anu
her lawyers have formed not the least con
spicuous feature Of the case The most
eminent attorneys have been employed and
nearly all Of them have withdrawn from
the case at different times. Caleb Cushing,
Beverly Johnson, Judge John A. Campbell
and Jere Black are some of those who
have represented Mrs. Gaines, while Dan
el Webster and other legal luminaries
have represented the other side. Deserted
by one counsel after another, Mrs Gaines
struggled on, hopeful, buoyant and conf
dent of victory until she was finally laid in
her grave. Long years of litigation wasted
her money and at times she was too poor 10
pay the court costs. But still she
persevered in her determination to clear
the stain from her mothers name. and to
secure what she regarded as her right.
Many residents of Washington remember
her as little thin old woman, whose
cheerfulness vivacity and energy remained
TO the last. For years she was familiar
figure on the street as she went smarty
along, with her son and son-in-law at her
side. She died in January, 1885. Her son
and son-in law have also since passed away,
and nobody now remains but Hattie l..
Whitney, her daughter-in-law, whose hus-
band was killed by James ID. Christmas.

POWOERLY SUCCEEDS.
He Has Full Power in Regard to Choice
of Officers.

The report Of the committee on law was
submitted TO the X. Of l.. convention in In
dianapolis the other day. II agreed, in full
TO all the conditions laid down by Powderly
in case Of his re-doceptance of the Office of
grand master workman. Under the now
constitution, all CfficerS are TO be taken
from the floor Of the general assembly
with the exception Of the general executive
board and general co operative board, and
shall, when elected, serve two years. Pow
DERBY s influence is most conspicuous in soc
ton Is, article 3, which shall hereafter pro-
vide that the general master workman shall
be chairman eX oilicO OF the general coop
erative board, and shall submit the names
Of four eligible persons, from whom the
general assembly shall elect two, who shall
constitute that board.
In an open letter TO delegates, T. b. Bar
ry claims that he can prove that 81 80 was
illegally paid 20 Tom O'Reiily; that non.
union printers were employed in the gen
ertl office; that a printer was obliged by
the administration 10 vote at its dictation ;
that blank forms were used to get rid OF
clerks who would not submit 10 the admin
istration' 8 requirements; that the machin-
cry and officers of tho general Office were
used to defeat the choice of district repre-
sentatives to the general assembly; that
district a. East Saginaw, Mich, was lille
gally recalled because III supported Barry
in the last general assembly session; that
the policy of general officers was TO destroy
small districts and concentrate power into
the hands Of state assemblies that records
of attachments of locals have been des-
troyed; that records were manipu-
lated so as TO allow Illegal representatives
in the general convention; that a general
officer and trustee OF money and property
was denied an itemized account of 1896, 900
OF ''poverty's money!" that the Journal Of
United Labor was used TO destroy mans
character; that the orders money was
spent by general officers in the last cam
paign; that the general officers victim.zed
those who differed with Them in their opin-
ion; that there were Otrikes in shops, mills
and factories against men with whom tho
fellow who occupies the chief clerkship in
the general Office could not honorably be
compared; that the charges published in
the Journal of United Labor by Powderly,
HaYes and Dewey are absolutely untrue.

to recover the properly now in lit cation,
which had been left by her father and
bought by the city of New Orleans. IL is
unnecessary 10 recount the various phases
of the long fight. The war interrupted the
proceedings for several years After the
war the litigation was pushed as fiercely as
ever in the courts, and at last in 1884, Mrs.
Gaines, then IS years old, received jGdg-
ment against the city Of New Orleans
for 81, 925, 661. SO in the United States circuit
court. Four years later she d ed while the
case was on appeal 20 the United States
supreme court The amount awarded rep
rescnts rents, interest and principal, accru-
ing from the sum for which the city origi-
nally sold the property. II is on an appeal
from this decision awarding interests and
rents that an opinion from the United
States supreme court comes now. The
case was argued in October, 1887, and
Judgment can hardly be longer delayed.
Interest is running on the money awarded
by the court, so that should the Judgment
be against the city, as is generally expect
ed, it will have to pay nearly S3,00J00".
New Orleans is impoverished aud practi-
cally bankrupt, and it is hard question
for the city TO settle just how the oblga-
ton will be met. The courts mandate
cannot be resisted and it ia thought that
the matter will be arranged by the issu-
ance of the new interest bearing bonds 10
