AK ImpORTANT LAND sUrT

Thousands of Dollars,
 Worth of Property of a New Haven
 Man in St. Paul-FrOm Poverty to
 Amuence by the Rise of Lana.
 The following article is taken from recent St. Paul (Minn.) paper:
 A big real estate suit is about to be filed in the United States court for the district of Minnesota. The property is all located in West St. Paul and is what is known as the Hitchcock tract. Within the past three or four years it has all been plated and forms all and parts of several additions. The &C., tion is to be brought to quiet title The facts as taken from the records available at this time seem to indicate that back as far as 1867 and 1869 Chester Hitchcock was bor- rower of considerable sum of money from Alfred s. Munson, a resident of New Haven, Conn.,, and as security for the loan deeded his large but at that time invaluable possess sions in West St. Paul to Munson. Hitch cock claims to have paid the amount thus borrowed back to Munson from time to time in different sums, and that the debt had been considered by all parties as entirely iquidat- ed seems evident from the fact that Munson had arranged to deed back all the property to Hitchcock when he suddenly died without executing the deed. The heirs of Munson, with one exception, all joined in deeding the property back to Hitchcock some years after, and it was the failure of this one heir, Mrs. Thomas Dale by name, to join in this deed that causes the present difficulty. Action was brought in the District court for Ramsey county some six years ago to settle the mat ter, but owing to technical error in pub fishing the summons the action has been de- cided invalid. This, briefly, is the cloud on the title of the Hitchcock property in West St. Paul that has all along been known as the ''Dale interest" and which has created no little difficulty in the transfer of that prop erty.
 Just now all the parties owning or interest ed in the property are being looked up with a view to getting the united action of all in the matter. It is understood that a local firm who have made something of 8 business of buying up quit claims are heavily interested in the deal and will be defendants in the ac- tion about to be brought.
 The above case has special local interest here, the parties interested being New Ha- veners excepting one, Mir. Dale, whose wife is 8 New Haven girl, granddaughter of the late Dr. Munson of this city. The value of the property owned by MT. Hitchcock in St. Paul and vicinity is estimated at quarter of 8 million dollars. MT. Hitchcock is a plain, unassuming man, a carpenter by trade, well advanced in years and resides on Goffe street near the Crockett & Futile manufac- tory. Years ago he purchased land in and near St. Paul ''for 8 song" This land was almost worthless thirty years ago. Now, since several railroads have penetrated the property, it has become exceedingly valu- able

 the Securities.
 The bonded debt of the city of MiddIetown is $267, 600, which is 5000 less than last year. There is $4,797.52 in the treasury and no floating debt. The tax laid is one-half mill less than last year. The current ex- penses of the city were less last year than any other city of similar size in the State. The last bonds issued were in 1885 for thirty years, being funded water bonds upon which the annual interest is only 365-100. In 1884 $25, ,000 was issued at four per cent for thirty years; in 1883, water bonds to the amount of $20,O 900 at four per cent for twen- ty-five years. The remainder of the $267, ,000 is in six and seven per cents., issued from 1866 to 1874 and payable from 1896 to 1894 The city could easily negotiate loans to-day at a low rate of interest, and would be glad to call in it's six and seven per cents, but the holders thereof will not part with them until they become due. A sinking fund is being provided to cash them at maturity.

Adm1nABtered Poison by Mistake by
 His Mother-Prompt Means Save she
 Lads Life.
 Last Monday afternoon a lad of ten years named Remler living in the Thompson block on Nash street, few doors from No. 8's en- zine house, complained of not feeling well and his mother gave him what she supposed was a dose of Epson salts, but what in real ity was oxalic acid, deadly poison. The boy soon fell into great agony and his moth- CT to her horror discovered that she had given her boy the wrong preparation, they being very similar in appearance. She, hardly able to speak, sent to Trefry's drug store on the corner of Edwards and State streets, and the case being urgent MT. Trefry repaired to the house to render what help he could until the arrival of physician. He administered a powerful emetic, and in the meantime MT. George Hugo at his grocery store telephoned for Drs McNeiI, Winchell, Luby and other physicians, but none were at home. Themeas- nres, however, taken by Druggist Trefry had the desired effect, and having been. so promptly administered the boys life was saved. Yesterday he was doing well, with syery prospect of his complete recovery, much to tho relief of the anxious parents
