Legal Minds Dissecting ind Discussing
Plans to Get Around the Cross McCon-
nell viii Trouble-Building Associations
Inferested-A Matter of Much Moment.
The decision of the Supreme Court that
Mrs Matilda Gross Mcconnell cannot sell
her property, even if she were given it in fee
simple, has set great many people to think
ing, and some of them have decided that
something must be done to get around that
decision.
A good many questions present them
selves. One of them is an inquiry as to
whether Mrs. Gross had any other heirs that
would have inherited by law had not the will
been made in favor of Mrs. Mcconnell, and
how they will be affected in case of the posi-
bility of Mrs. McConnells children dying be-
fore her and she unable to dispose of the prop
erty? The supposition of a failure of heirs is,
of course, far fetched, but such case is among
the possibilities.
1t is thought there will be devised some
method of curing the defect, but meantime
some stockholders in building and loan associa-
tions are in a cold sweat. People have bought
lots and can get the purchase money back, but
they have also built houses on those lots and
have been furnished the money by building
and loan societies. and the query is how these
associations are going to get their money back.
Take it all in all there are goodly number of
people who wish they had never heard of that
decision. and, though admitting it to be good
law, they point to the possibility of its eating
rich woman's substance up and eventually
making her poor AS it is, the property will
not pay as farm, and it cannot even be con-
verted into park, and so acres that ought to
be built up are likely to lie bowling waste for
an indefinite time. Some have suggested that
Mrs Mcconnell be made femme sole trader,
but they are not satisfied that this would afford
any substantial relief.

A GREAT WORK COMPLETED

Mr.. James Moore, a resident of Redmond's

the writer, had the following to say about
his successful treatment with Drs Copeland

ally in charge of his extensive practice, not
an assistant or substitute, as is the case in
many other offices in the city. I was in a.
very serious condition at that time, and had
been suffering greatly tor over six weeks.
NY trouble had grown on me until 1 was so
weak and miserable that I felt as though
life had become burden. Ny head would
stop up and my nostrils become clogged, first
on one side and then on the other. There
was constant dropping from my head to
my throat. This was especially bad at
night. 1 would often have to sit up in bed
for hours. When I would lie down the
mucus would gather in my throat and cause
a smothering sensation. 1 would get up in
the morning feeling more tired than when I
went to bed the night before. I was con-
stantly hawking and splitting during the

HOME TREATMENT,

Mr.. William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa. in
speaking of his catarrhal trouble, said: My
head was stopped up. My throat, chest and
lungs affected. and had lost all sense of taste
and smell, when 1 was advised to try Drs. Cope
land q Blair. The result was surprise to me-
am now perfectly well, and owe my recovery
to their treatment
Some time ago Mr.. Harry Phillips. of Hutton.
Allegheny county, Pa, commenced course of
home treatment for his catarrhal trouble, un-
der the care of Drs. Copeland & Blair.
At that time his trouble had assumed a very
follows:
my nostrils would clog up. My head ached
constantly. I had severe pains in my chest
There was dropping of mucus from my head
to my throat. 1 had night sweats. My heart
would palpitate rapidly. and be followed by a
Slow irregular beating and feeling of faintness
1 was daily growing weaker. The slightest ex-
ertion tired me and was unfit for work."
How do you feel now?"
Like another being. ALI the symptoms
have described to you have disappeared, and

Is Natures effort to expel foreign sub
stances from the bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes Inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne is equal to
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus,S allays
irritation, induces repose, and is the
most popular of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before the
public. for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my expert
ence, so reliable as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral. For years 1 was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, I was ad-
vised to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral and
to lay all other remedies aside.y I did
SO, and within week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then I have
always kept this preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure"
Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
ga few years ago took severe cold
which affected my lungs, 1 had a ter
rible cough, and passed night after
night without sleep. The doctors gave
me up. I tried Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved my lungs, induced sleep,
and afforded the rest necessary for the
recovery of my strength. By the con-
tinual use of the Pectoral, permanent
cure was effected. ."-Horace Fairbrother,

MRS. GREEN STILL OBJECTS
To the Sale of Section 21 to the Grant Loco
motive Works.

motive Works.
CHICAGO, March Hrs. Hetty Green
and the other objectors of the sale of Section
81, of Cicero, to the Grant Locomotive
Works, have got into the Supreme Court
without giving the bond of $1O0, 900, as re-
quired by Judge Collins. They took out a
writ of error. Had they appealed and given
a bond the locomotive works could not have
gone on building on the land. Having OBJ
tanned writ of error, the works can pro-
ceed, but must restore the land, if the Su-
preme Court decides against it. The works
executed a mortgage of $3.50, 900 on the land
to the New York Life Insurance Company,
and by an order entered by Judge Collins
to-day this company is to have first lien on
the fund of S602,O 900 paid into court by
George NJ. Bogue, if the Supreme Court de-
cides adversely to the sale.
Mrs. Green also filed bill in the Circuit
Court to-day to review Judge Collins decree
against her in the Section 81 case. She
claims that the decree was contrary to the
law and fact, and erroneous in several
respects.

A SEWER PIPE MAN
Has Something TO Say About the New
Pittsburg nnd Western Branch Road,

D. E. Hill, of Akron, tine oldest sewer pipe
manufacturer in the country, was at the Ander-
son last night. During the evening Mr.. Hill
had quite lengthy interview with William
Semple, Jr., of Allegheny. in reference to the
Pittsburg. Akron and Western Railroad. In
which the first named gentleman is interested
in every way except financially. During con-
versation with DISPATCH representative Mr..
Hill said: akron is town which curiously
enough never has what may be called
BOOM nor has it ever experienced dull
times. Whether the introduction of the new
line, which has new feature to US in its run
ming from East to West instead of North and
South, as is the case with every other road
touching Akron, may change these conditions
or not am unable to say at present. Indeed
there is really SO little known of the road in our
town that we have doubts at times if it has any
existence SO far beyond sending engineers to
survey the route.
1T is said that the road is already under way.
however. Little is known our way of the pro-
posed Baltimore and OhoPlttsburg and West
ern combine, the purchase of the Valley route
which passes through our town adding feature
to the deal that makes it more difficult to
answer than ever"
