Col. Browns Big Case.

Col. M. d. Brown, the popular at
torney OF this city, has been retained
in very important case Of great
magnitude, involving millions of prop
erty in the city Of Philadelphia. In
1880 George and Henry Miller,
brothers, of Germany, patented a
large tract of land in the suburbs of
the then small city of Philadelphia,
which they subsequently leased to the
city for 80 years. Geo. Miller never
married and all Of the rights under
the lease descended at his death to
the heirs of his brother Henry. A
few years ago the lease expired and
the title to the property has never
been fixed. The tract is now in the
heart OF Philadelphia and much of it
is covered by magnificent business
blocks and the most substantial i'm
provements. II is worth about sixty
millions Of dollars. Col. Browns wife
is one of the descendants Of Henry
Miller, her mother, Mrs. Neat, of Ga
lena, Ind, being one of the nearest
living heirs. Other heirs are Henry
=sfii,I,sSF Miller, OF Kendall, Kansas, and Mrs.
Betsy Spangler, of Winchester, Va.
Col. Brown leaves here next month
and will have consultation with all
the heirs at Galena, Ind, June l3 and
from there will go to Philadelphia to
look after the very important interests
of his clients. The only point will be
to establish the validity of their claims
and he has already collected proof OF
the unbroken line of descent from
Henry Miller. Col. Brown has de-
voted much care and attention to the
matter and feels that his ultimate
success in the case is already as
sured.

pcr box..andihe lid was tied ON with u
cloth string. The body was badly de
composed and It's color could not be
learned. The child had evidently been
still-born and the inhuman part of
the transaction was that il had not
been decently buried. The corpse
was turned over TO n colored man who
was ordered to bury it. Up toyester-
day nobody had appeared to claim it
and the mystery will probably never
be unravclcd.

The celebrated chancery cause Of the FL
deity Insurance and Trust Company vs.
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad Company
was decided last Thursday, by the Supreme
Court of Appeals. The opinion was deliv-
cred by Judge Brannon. Judge Lucas
who was of counsel in the court below, was
absent. 1t is held that the Central I'm
prOyement Company is entitled to equitable
compensation under the agreement of April
29. 1878, for the failure of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad Company to deliver the
second mortgage and increase bonds called
for by that agreement, but this equitable
compensation must be subject to the first
mortgage bonds held by the Fidelity Com
pany IA trustee to the amount of $4,000
per mile at six mot seven per cent. per
annum. The amount of compensation al
lowed the Central Improvement Company
is fixed by the face value of the bonds
which were to be delivered to it under said
agreement, as follows $250,O00 with in
terest from the lst day of April, 1870, sub
ject TO a credit of Sll 900, and further sum
of 1879 ,224, without interest. The first sum
represents the second mortgage bonds, and
the second sum OF S379,224 represents the
increased bonds. What is known rs "the
Philadelphia record and attachment" was
held no bar TO recovery by the Central I'M
provement Company, except as all offset
to the interest of the $1,000 mentioned
above. The order of priorities in the pro
ceeds of the sale when the road is sold is
fixed as follows; First, proper cost of plain
titis in these causes second, receivers GER
tiicates or charges under the receivership :;
third, the first mortage bonds, with interest
thereon at six per cent. per annum to the
extent of $4,000 per mile; fourth, to the
