WASHINGTON, March 2l.--The presi
dent has approved the deed made by the
Seminole Indians ceding all their rights,
title and interest in the lands held by
them in the Oklahoma tract ia the Indian
territory. These lands are embraced in
the tract OF 5,50O,000 OF acres lying on the
west of the Creek and Seminole country,
and is bounded on the south by the Can
adian river, on the north by the Cherokee
outlet, and on the west by the lands oC.
rupied by the kiowas and Comanche In.
dians, whose reservation was portion OF
these same lands purchased by the gov
ernment from these same Indians under
the treaty of 1866.
Prior to the recent cession, the United
States, under provisions contained in
treaties with the Creeks and Seminoles
in lS6t, located certain tribes Of Indians
on a part of said lands, reserving therefor
about 100000 acres OF the 5,5UU, 900
acres recently ceded. The occupancy
rights OF those Indians prevent the pres
ent issue, at least, OF any proclamation
opening to homestead entry OF the lands
npon which said Indians are located.
There are, however, over l,SUO, 900 acres
OF said cessions upon which no Indians
have been located and which are unas-
signed and unoccupied. This tract is
known as the Oklahoma tract proper.
The president will issue proclamation in
Il few days declaring the land thrown
open to settlement. Two land offices
will be established and a United States
court will he established at Muskogee
with jurisdiction over this country.

The clerks employed in the Car Depart
ment Office of the Lehlgh Valley railroad,
one, day recently presented to John T.
Semmel as fitting testimonial of their
appreciation of his friendship, solid gold
chain and charm the latter with diamond
setting and the following inscription /:
"To j. Il. S. from Car Department"
The gift is very pretty and appropriate
one and is much appreciated by Mr..
Semmel who was employed in the Packer
ton offices from 1873 until two months
ago when he resigned to accept the position
of Cashier of the First National Bank. 1t
is pleasing for us to note the graduation of
success falling to him. Born in North
White Hall. Lehigh county, his father be-
ing Joshua Semmel, formerly Of Schneck-
vile, he attained such schooling as the
township afforded IN his early days, but
not content with this, his natural energies
apd inclinations calling for something
higher he fitted himself by close application
to study fer position in the counting
room. He secured position IN the offices
at Packerton in 1878 and advanced step by
step until 1881 he was promoted to chief
clerkship which position he held up to the
time he was called to fill the higher and
more responsible duties of Cashier of the
First National Bank. This last act of his
former coileuges demonstrate their apprici-
alton of his earnest and positive character
lets Of push and enterprise. Lehight e
| can well feel proud OF such men-they re-
present tue blood and muscle of our town
and business interests.

A Brutal ACT.
Peter Becker and Son Perhaps Fatally Beat
Hen Kreamer.

Peter Becker and Son Perhaps Fatally Beat
Hen Kreamer.
Beyond question one Of the most brutal
occurrences in this section for some time
past was the crime for which Peter Becker
and son William were arrested by consta-
BILE Amos Meyer, of Packerten, on Wednes-
day. and sent to the county prison.
Peter Becker, is tall, raw-boned and
every movement denotes strength and his
son William is built in the same proportion.
They do not bear the most enviable reputa-
tion for peace and sobriety and have made
record on the 'Squire's docket and else
where in accordance with their pugalistic
propensities On Tuesday while under
the influence of whiskeY they visited
HenIy Kreamer, a tenant on the Purden
farm in Beaver Run, and without apparent
PROPAGATION knocked him down and beat
him in the most horrible manner, his face
and body being black and blue and his life
being in danger.
Constable Meyers had the prisoners be-
fore Squire Beltz, on Bank street, Wednes-
day, and on learning the condition of
Kreamer, refused BAIL and on advise of
the District Attorney sent them both to
juries. Late advises from Beaver Run is
to the effect that Kreamer is confined to
bed and suffers intensely.
An interesting counter suit will likely
TO grow out of the affair, the Becker's
claiming that Kreamer has for sometime
been selling intoxicating drinks under the
name of sweet cider.

paid for them is consequently low. Most of
the berries from here are shipped to New
York. Philadelphia and Buffalo.
Last Friday evening, in Casslers Rink,
the fifth annual commencement OF the

were but four members in the class. The
exercises throughout were interesting and

under the influence of liquor, and toward
evening entered the German residence at
the North Erd, and upon his request for
something to eat and drink being refused,
Yilely insulted Mrs. Benjamin German and
daughter. She informed her husband of
the occurrence Oh his return home shortly
after and he started out in search of the

A NEW SUBMARINE BOAT.
The Recent Invention of the French TO
War at Sea.

From the Cologne Gazette.
The Goubet, the name of the boat built by
private firm ut the expense of the state, is
q little boat $50 meters long and 1.5S meters
broad. It can hold two men. The body of the
craft is cast in bronze of a single piece, and
can therefore bear very high pressure. 1t is
moved by electricity, which, in case of failure,
can be replaced by oars. Completely armed it
weighs 5000 kilogrammes (about $4,000
pounds) and can therefore be transported easily
everywhere.
The electricity, as may be safely assumed, is
obtained from accumulators in the boat; but il
seems that this propelling force can also be
transferred to the boat from land or from a
ship accompanying the Goubet by means of a
wire, which would naturally considerably ham,
per the movements of the submarine craft.
The stores OF compressed air are said to last for
twenty-four hours and can. by an automatic ar
rangement be so distributed that the state of
the air in the ship is constant. The boat was
immersed for eight hours at a depth of 10 me-
tiers with two sailors in it, and these latter ex-
perienced not the slightest Inconvenience dur
ing that period. As a special advantage it is
claimed for the boat that it can at a word of
command sink any depth, greatest probably 10
meters, remain there and change its position
at will. The sinking and rising in the water, it
is said, can be executed with the greatest regu-
larity, which is not the case apparently with
the Spanish submarine boat Perai and the other
French boat Gymnote.

Whose Land Is Ii?

An appeal has been taken from the United
States circuit court at Springfield ILL.,,
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, in what is known as the arsenal
Island case" This island formerly lay in the
Mississippi river on the Missouri side of the
channel Immediately in front of the corporate
limits of St. Louis and belonged to that NUM-
cipality, being held for school purposes. In
the course OF time under the friction of the
river it disappeared and simultaneously body
of land accumulated OIL the river front on the
other side of the river lands in st. Clair
county, Illinois, belonging to the Hon. Edward
Root, ex-state treasurer, and he claims these
lands as a natural accretion. The city of st.
Louis also claimed them as the veritable Arsenal
Island which it had lost, alleging that the
island had floated away bodily and lodged
against Roots farm. The city put Oh a tenant
to hold the lands and Root brought an action to
eject him. The Springfield court held that the
disputed grounds had formed against Roots
river front by natural accretion and therefore
belonged to him. The land in dispute is valued
at $4,000. There is large legal interest in the
case on account of the novel proposition il i'll
wolves respecting riparian owners on the Missis-
sippi river.
