A Bic Award Sustained.

WASHINGTON, May 13-The supreme
court to-day in an opinion by Justice Brad
ley awarded the executor of the will Of
Myra Clark Gains the sum of 1861, 900
against the city of New Orleans for the use
of property sold by the city but recovered
by Mrs. Gains after long litigation. The
Judgment of the lower court awarding the
executor 81 100000 for the use of unim-
proved property sold by the city was not
cOncurred in.
The case has probably been the most IN
teresting, hardest contested and most pro
longed known to the judicial history of this
country.
The first suit in the case brought by Mrs
Gaines, then wife Of General Whitney, in
1894, and since that time decision has fol
lowed decision in regard to it.
The first suit sought to recover what was
known as the Eyariste Blanc tract in New
Orleans. Blanc bought the tract for about
four hundred dollars from the executors of
zen of New Orleans He sold it
and some other land to the city
of New Orleans. The grounds on
which Mrs. Gaines set up her claim were
that she was the child of General Clark by
a secret marriage between him and Zielinne
Carriere, and that General Clark had left
later will than the one under which the
property was sold.
This secret marriage formed the axis on
which the litigation revolved, and the case
was fought with bitterness by both sides
1t was not until few years before the war
that Mrs. Gaines was finally declared to be
the legitimate child as well as lawful heir
of General Clark Even then the city
of New Orleans did not surrender,
and after the war Mrs. Gaines was
compelled to bring suit for damages in the
IS ~ ed
Louisiana district, which gave Judgment in
her favor for 81, 925, 66T, and it is on appeal
from this Judgment that the case was de
cided. The present case, it is generally
conceded, .exhausts all the resources of the
law and is regarded as a final settlement
of the litigation. Mrs. Gaines, fighting
to the very last for her rights, is dead and
50 it is believed are all her immediate re
latives, except her daughter-in-law, Hattie
L. Pitney, in whose name, as administrix
OF the estate of Mrs. Gaines, the case
stands on the court docket.

Special to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Itis reported that
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, has extorted q
promise from the President to issue &
proclamation granting. a general amnesty
to deserters from the regular army since
1873
President Grant issued such proclama-
ton in 1876 and since then there have been
0,000 deserters and only 5000 arrests.
Some of the men have become so expert in
deserving that they have done it four or
five times over, re-enlisting from time to
time as they felt disposed under assumed
names.
The motive of the amnesty is to remove
the stain from the personal record of young
men who have enlisted and deserted with
out due comprehension of the enormonty
of their offeHse.

Knows Nothing About Cronin.

CHICAGO, May 12.-James j. Conwel, a
reporter for the Chicago Times, said by Gro
min in the Toronto interview to be the per
son who intro luced the doctor to LIE Caron,
the British spy, denies emphatically that
there is any truth in the assertion. Con-
well says he was detailed once to interview
Cronin on some local Irish matter and that
the doctor subsequently attempted to get
Conwell to have published long article.
The man Charles Long, who is said to
have discovered Cronin in Toronto, and
who is sending out interviews from there
with the doctor, is the person Conwel said
to whom Cronin, while in Chicago, sent
the rejected manuscript mentioned above,
and through whom the document was re-
turned to Cronin.

that trouble is threatening The arti-

says it can do nothing to prevent. 1t then
says it is evident that treaty of alliance
exists between Brazil and Paraguay, and
says that although the government will
give no reply to questions, there is little
doubt but that it is preparing for war, and
everything indicates that one is imminent.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. ]
Baltimore, Nd, May 13.-Mrs Fec
Sucrow is well know in this city among
leading society people as Miss Williamana
Constable. She moved in the best social
circles and was greatly admired for her
beauty and accomplishments. Some years
ago she went abroad and finished her mus
zeal education Since that time she has re
sided in New York. Her action, appeared
to many of her friends here as somewhat
eccentric. An instance of her eccenticity,
which caused her friends some concern, Oc-
CURED about two summers ago, when she
went to a fashionable northern resort, and
being refused admittauce because she had
a pet cat with her, she paid for the cat as 4
guest.
Soon after this rumOrs came to Baltimore
that she had met SucrOW. No mention at
the time was made that he was a titled per-
son, his only claim being that he was an
officer in the German army. Fer marriage
was rather sudden; none Of her friends or
relatives were appraised of it, Soon after
letters came from the bride showing that all
was not quite right in u pecuniary
respect. Her husband Went to
London in January. While away,
friends of the bride in this
city received cards from New OK road
ing r"BarOn and Baroness Fec Won Sue
rcS This was the first intimatiou that
hG was nObleman About this time let
ter was received by the editor of the Amcri-
can dated at London, signed Fec Sucrow,
offering to give him some important infor-
nation if he would meet him in New York
on the arrival of the steamer a few
weeks brought more letters from Sucrow,
dated New York, unfolding a scheme for
an expedition to the southern seas in search
of an island of diamonds, which he pro
fessed to have discovered and which the
German government wanted to take from
him. Besides diamonds the island con-
tanned plant which cured yellow fever, a
forest OF MANILA trees, an immense inland
lake full of seals, wallruses, sealions and
sea elephants. He wanted $4,000, cash,
to fit out the expedition.
No notice was taken Of these letters. In
the meanwhile, Baroness Hvon Sucrow
wrote home to her sister for money to live
upon. Her friends have been greatly wor-
Yed about her, for they know she has no
money to live upon in England, and are
greatly relieved to hear that Harry White,
who is also a BaltimOrian, has kindly pro
vided for her passage home.
