A Syndicate Now Controls the
Reading Road,

New YORK, Feb. "A syndicate Of
New York and Philad elphia capitalists,
hostile to President Corbin, has sue
ceeded in purchasing co controlling in
terest in the stock of the Reading rail-
road. Among the members of the SYM
dictate are John Wanamaker, Thomas
Dolan, Mayor Filter, Messrs. Elkins
and Wldener and a number of Standard
Oll capitalists. A representive stock
holder, it is proposed, will sue Mr..
Corbin for large sum Of money on the
ground that through Mr.. Corbin's mis-
management the Reading company has
been an enormous loser. Some facts
that have been disclosed suggest that
this suit may be for as much as
$4,000, GOO. There are hints that other
suits IN addition will be begun also to
try to recover on other accounts, and it
IS SAID that the Central railroad of New
Jersey is also to be made defendant in
a suit for damages and asked to disgorge
large revenues diverted from the Read
ing property into the Jersey Central
treasury. Representative of the SYM
dictate are at work upon plans which
their friends declare will result in in
ducing President Corbin to resign and
retire from the property without a con-
test. 1t Is understood that a confer
ence between Mr.. COrbin and these new
owners of Reading stock is being
arranged, and is likely to be held with
In week. The impression seems to be
growing that Mir. COrbin will prefer to
retire gracefully rather than risk the
dangers OF being deposed by the courts.

GUARDED BY A SHERIFF.
Ex-Editor West Allowed Outside
Cook County Jail.


CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-EX-Editor James
j. West, who was yesterday sentenced
to the penitentiary for five years for the
over-issue of nearly S130.00O of the Chi
cagO Times company stock. spent last
night in cell in the debtors depart
ment of the Jail. When West met a re-
porter this morning he smiled pleasant

Funeral" as he termed it. The ex-ed-
itor is the same cheerful Individual he
was before his trouble began. The try
ing ordeal through which he has just
passed has not affected his spirits in the
least. From Vests appearance to-day
one would as soon believe that he spent
the night at his Kenwood mansion as in
a cell amoug the common individuals.
At 10 O'Clock Attorney Smith entered
the Jail and called for his client. MIR.
Smith had seen Sheriff Matson and OBJ
tanned that officials permission to take
the eX-editor to the United States court,
where he has another suit pending.
While waiting for the carriage the attOr-
ney and his client conversed in low
tones for more than an hour. Finally
Deputy Sheriff Gleason and the vehicle
arrived, and the party left the Jail for
the South side. AS the prisoner and
Deputy Gleason crossed the Jail yard
the latter caught hold OF Mr.. Vests
arm in a friendly way. Il wont rum"
said West, laughingly, as he lOnked at
the high stone walls and the iron gates
that lnclose the Jail yard. "I'll not try
to skin" ''Drive to the Honore block, !"
said Attorney Smith, as the carriage
rolled out of the narrow gateway. The
gate closed with ''click" which is
familiar to all prisoners, and the car
riage was soon lost sight of in the
moving vehicles on CLARK street. He
was returned to jail in the afternoon.

wife, in which she says that, if her
husband must die on the gallows, she
will die with him. BROKER, being una

any game at cards. finds jail life rather
monotonous, but spends great part of
each day in sleep. For the past few
days he has been receiving medical
treatment for comparatively light
trouble with his throat.

Title TO Real Esta tie.

A Fl. Hedderly, appellant vs. Marcus John
son, respondent Order affirmed.
GILFILLAN, c. j.
To max title to real estate unmar-
ketable, so that a specific performance
of contract to convey will not be en-
forced against the vender, there must
be reasonable doubt as to its validity.
If the doubt raise question of law, it
must be fairly debatable one; one
upon which the judicial mind would
hesitate before deciding it. If the
doubt depend on matter of fact and
there is no doubt as to how
the fact is, and if it may be
readily and easily shown at any
time, it does not make the title unmar-
ketable. In conveyance of real estate
was this clause: Preserving, however,
strip of land $50 feet wide, to be used
by the said railroad company for a
right of way or other railroad. where
the main line of its branches, as now
located and constructed. or hereafter to
be constructed, is laid, or may pass
over said land" Held, that the ease
ment depended on the then location of
the line, and as there is, as the case
shows, no doubt that no line had then
been located. and as the matter appears
to be easily and readily proved at any
time, the clause does not make the
grantees title unmarketable,

RAvIsHED YOUNG GIRLS.
Indian Bucks Break Into Reser-
walton Schools.

Maj. Bracket, of the United States
marshals Office, returned yesterday
from an eight days. trip among the
Chippewa Indians, having been sent to
arrest some young bucks who had been
seriously interfering with the schools
for Indians in that locality. Cass
lake is about forty-fve miles
north of Rice lake, and can only
be reached in winter by team.
The major drove one team 260 miles,
and had varied experience. AT Cass
lake and in the surrounding lodges of
the Indians there are located schools
for educating the young Indians, under
the general management of Rev. j. q.
Gilfillan, of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The Indian girls, ranging
from fifteen to eighteen years,
are taken to these schools
and educated at public expense.
These girls are taken out of the tepees,
dirty and untutored as they are, and
taught to sew and the rudiments of an
English education. The young Indians
have been making trouble In these
schools, and committed OutrageS to such
an extent that it became necessary to
stop them in their course or give up the
schools. Maj. Bracket and Deputy
Beaulieu arrested two of the young
bucks and took them to Detroit, where

ment is disposed to punish offenders
that order will be restored, and the
schools flourish without fear of further
intimidation

Phisanthropic Work of Ladies'
Among the Poor and Needy.
Six months ago the Women's Free
Dispensary Aid society came into ex-
istence, and in that time has done much
towards aid in facilitating the work of
the dispensary of this city in furnishing
free medicines to the poor. The society
held its annual meeting yesterday after
noon. A report was submitted stating
that the Aid society found the dispen-
sary in an extremely wretched con-
dItion, badly equipped, and uncom-
fortably arranged. Patients had to
walk some distance after receiving the
prescription from the physician, and
wait at the drug store until the drug
gist might have leisure in which to
ill the free diSpenSarY prescription.
Arrangements have been made so that
the chief physician and surgeon shall
be present short time each day, to
give supervision to the routine dispen-
sary work. Drs. Senkler, Abbott and
" Willard have consented to act two DAYS
each in the week in like capacity. DR..
Arthur j. Gillette was appointed to the
care of all Orthoep8dic. such as club
foot and spinal curvature cases. DR..
Donnelly was appointed to the care of
patients suffering from troubles of the
nose and throat. Directions have
been given for heating the en-
tire building, as the main hall
and rooms on the left of the building
are not large enough to accommodate
the people who daily apply at the dis
penSary. The medical board promises
that its work can be better performed
in the future and much work done that
could not have been done without the
assistance offered by the Ladies' Aid
society. The number of applicants for
aid during the past six months was
over $40. The prescriptions filled since
Oct. 10 were ass. The dispensary bed at
st. JOseph's hospital has been occupied
143 days in the six months that it has
been maintained. Receipts amounting

FLEMING is G VERNON.
The Long Contest IN West Virginia
Is Ended.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 4.-The
Goff-Fleming contest was decided at
noon to-day in favor of Fleming. The
vote stood 40 for Golf and 43 for Flem-
ing. The legislative committee APP
pointed to investigate the charges of
bribery charged by D. NJ. Harr. report
ed at II O'Clock, stating that while
there were grounds for believing that
the charges were true. no evidence was
offered to implicate Fleming or Golf in
the matter, Immediately after which a
vote was taken Oh resolution to de-
clare Golf entitled to the seat of govern
Or of the state. This resolution was
defeated by a vote Of 40 to %,
the Republicans supporting it,
and the Democrats opposing,
with one exception, Senator Carr,
voting against it. Carr was elected as a
union labor Republican. The question
then came up on the resolution of Chair
man Kee, decl ring Fleming the legally
elected governor. A vote was taken,
and it stood 40 to 43, Carr voting with
the Democrats. Everything passed off
quietly. The two houses Immediately
adjourned until tomorrow. The in-
auguratiOn of Fleming has been fixed
for Thursday at noon. An inaugural
ball will take place Thursday night in
the state house. Ford and Merrill, two
Democrats who, it was alleged, would
vote for Golf, voted for Fleming, much
to the surprise of the Republicans.
