Involves the Custom Hou.s.

KANSAS CITY, No.. March 22.-The
ejectment suit of James Bannon
against James Burnes, custodian of
the Government building, and other
occupants of the government building,
to obtain possession of lot so. Sawyer's
addition. at the corner of Ninth and
Walnut streets, on which the northern
portion of the post Office is erected,
was heard before Judge Philips in the
United States circuit court to-day.
Although his suit is against Burns
and others, nominally, it is in fact a
suit against the United States for
$40 900 damages for the detention of
the lot and for $500 monthly rentals
from November /, 1886. In 1879, the
State of Missouri by Il special act
coded the lot in question to the federal
government. In the same year, the city
sold the land for taxes. conveying it by
tax deed to James Bannon. 1t is
unoer this tax deed that Bannon now
brings suit for ejectment and posses
sion. Mr.. Bannon maintains that the
cession of land to the federal govern
ment does not invalidate the taxes ac-
crued prior to the cession, and that he
is entitled to possession and damages
for it's detention. Tue federal cover n
ment holds that in eding this land to
the federal govern ment the state
nullified all membranes, and that
government property is exempt from
all taxes. Judge Philips took the case
under adViSement.

A PeOuIiar Epidemic in New York.

NEW YORK, March 21.-A queer
epidemic has struck the city. The
physicians call it tonsilitis, and say
that its origin is as mysterious as its
prevalence. The disease appears to be
confined to women, and is especially
prevalent among actresses. Mrs:
is just recovering from a severe
attack. Blanche Weaver. is now
afflicted with it, and Minnie Palmer
has quite a severe case. Ton
silitis appears suddenly, and
the symptoms are those of a
severe cold. The disease usually lasts
three days under skillful treatment.
Mrs. Langtry was so anxious to keep
her engagement that she diSregarded
the Instructions given her and came
very near paying dearly for it. The
treatment is very simple. The physi-
clan who has been attending Mrs.
Langtry was called in to see twenty
five cases Sunday. He says in all his
experience with throat diseases he has
never seen so much tonsilitis. Other
throat specialists say that there
at loss to account for it..
but think it may be traced in some way
to the peculiar winter. One circum-
stance not generally known is that
tonsilltis is contagious. The breath of
| the patient is laden with microbes, or
fever germs, which lodge in the throat
| of any one who may be near by and in
variably produce another case. Mrs.
Langtry did not go to Philadelphia
yesterday, as expected. BY the order
of her physician she will remain here
and cancel the first week of her Phila-
delphia engagement, but expects to be
well enough to go over next Monday
| and fill the second.

Chamberlain addressed the court on the
point upon which the conference mas

price, desiring the court to order in the
decree that the Ohio division be not
sold for less than enough to pay the
first mortgage bonds in full. There
are seyenty-five miles in the Chicago
division, and he thought the price
should be fixed at S37 900 per mile and
50. GOO per mile for the Indiana prop
erty. Mr.. Chamberlain charged that
James 81. Compton, OF Washington, a
holder Of equipment bonds had had the
valuation of the Ohio property lesSened.
Attorney Taggart declared that there
was no ground for this statement.
Attorney Patterson asked that
it be decreed also that hold

he had waited patiently for Mr.. Cham
berlain to explain one thing to the
court that he had insisted on at yester-
days conference, but the gentleman
had not mentioned il. He said that it
was his intention to ask the court to
not allow the sale to take place for
sixty days in order to allow his clients
to make financial arrangements to ap-
pear and bid.
II said would do that in case no up
set price was fixed" interrupted Mr..
Chamberlain.
II depend upon the recollection of

statement" replied Mr. Crawford.

A soldisr,s Startling Story.

RICHMOND, Va, March 2O.-Private
James K. Bolton, an inmate of the
Confederate Soldiers home, near this
city, tells startling story of the
finding in the hold of the old
confederate ram Merrimac the skele-
tons of two men. Bolton was member
of Johuson's battery during the war
and was wounded at Brady Station.
He is now almost in dying condition.
He declares that the Scovery of these
skeletons has preyed upon his mind for
years. According to Bottoms story he
was engaged as a wrecker in 1873. The
persons with whom he was engaged
at that time were employed in getting
the old copper off theMerrimac. While
engaged in this work Bolton says that
on one occasion he dive1 into the
forecastle of the confederate gunboat.
There he found the skeletons of two
men manacled to the floor. He sup
poses that they were members of the
crew who were incarcerdted for the
violation of some rule of the navy and
when the craft was sunk were for
gotten by their comrades and went
down to their watery graves.

Ths Hutohiuson Sac Work..


HUTCHINSON, March 2O.-Although
the salt operators of the city are in
clined to be reticent about the matter.
an interview with them has elected the
following information concerning the
proposed accretion of all the salt blocks
here by the English salt trust: All the
operators in this city have received
propositions asking for six months OPP
ton OIL their works at prices to be
agreed upon hereafter. The expressed
object OF the consolidation is to limit
the manufacture to the legitimate de-
mands of the trade. The Hutchinson
people are of the opinion that the
scheme is entirely practicable and
would be highly beneficial to the salt
industry of Kansas and would result
in largely extending the territory sup
piled from the Hutchinson works. The
only thing in the way of satisfactory
contamination of this scheme so far as
Kansas is concerned, appears to be the
question of the price to be paid for the
plants here.
