Matt Breen, as he was generally
known, has been resident of st. Paul
for over twenty years. and quite promi-
nent as a stone contractor, in which
occupation he built up valuable
business and amassed a eomforta-
BILE fortune. He was in the fifty
sixth year of his age, having been
born in County Glare, Ireland, in 1888.
At the age OF eighteen, with such edu-
cation as he had picked up at intervals
at a parish school, he emigrated to
America and landed with scarcely q
penny TO his name. His first employ
ment was secured on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, at Cumberland. Md.
whence he branched out as mason and
secured employment through various
cities in Virginia. The war caught him
at Richmond, and it was not until near
the close that he managed to escape to
Washington, where he secured employ
ment in the treasury building. In 1868,
in connection with John T. Young and
John Stewart, he received the contract
forfurniShing the granite for the ST. Paul
pOStof1ice, and in connection herewith
removed to st. Paul. The firm of Breen
& Young resulted, and did work on
many Of the principal buildings in the
state, including the asylum at st. Peter.

BY ADVERSE poss EssIoN.
The Sp-ingers Hold Their Prop
ertY, Except One Lot.

The long trial of the four Springer
ejectment cases for the recovery of
lands in st. Panl Park. near Lake Jo-
sephine, was brought to ii close yester-
day. Mary Springer and her husband,
Anton Springer, bought number of
lots in the sixties and fenced them in
along with others and cultivated the
entire property as a farm for many
years. Claimants afterward turned up
for a portion of them, as stated in the
GLOBE a few days since. The jury
found all the lands to belong to the
Spr gers, except as to lot 10, which
was part of lands claimed by Julia B.
Wood; and as TO this lot the verdict is
that Wood recover the Immediate pos
session thereof. Other lots in question
were decided to belong to the SprpgerS
because of adverse possession for more
than twenty years. A stay of Judgment
for sixty days was granted by Judge
Kelly for the purpose of giving counsel
an opportunity to prepare papers pre-
paratory to an appeal to the supreme
court.

County Attorney Egan will proceed
to prosecute the parties who have been
detected in Slaughtering and placing
upon the market hogs affected with
cholera. Sixty-five infected hogs were
discovered in a pen in connection with
a Strengthening house at Little Canada.
There is ample evidence TO show that
many of the hogs have been slaugh-
tered and placed on the market. Little
Canada is beyond the health depart
ment's jurisdiction, and consequently
the prosecution will have to be conduct
ed under the state law. The condition
of affairs in existence was brought to

SARAH ALTHEA soUELCHED.
a Decision Which Virtually Ends
the sharon Litigation.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 15.-Judge
Shafter, in the superior court. to-day
rendered a decision in the Sharon case
which virtually ends that famous litiga-
ton. The principal point in the pres
ent controversy was on demurrer to
the answer made by the Sharon heirs.
Ia this answer they incorporated the
decree OF the United States circuit court
by which the alleged marriage contract
between William Sharon and Sarah AL
thea Hill was declared a forgery and
ordered cancelled. Judge Shafter held
that this decree of the United States
court was in force in ali courts, and
that the contract has no legal existence.
He ordered the Sharon case postponed
indefinitely.

THE MICRoRE.
1t Has Something to Do With La
Crime.

The continued prevalence in ST. Paul
of the severe cold known as ''grip," and
the dangerous phases it has assumed in
some cases. ha led physicians to more
closely study its causes, and the belief
is becoming general that it is propa-
gated by microbes. The mierobe is the
first living thing which makes its APP
pearance in organic matter undergoing
the process of decomposition. 1t is so
small as to be scarcely distinguishabIe
in its various species. The fact that the
germs of disease caused terrible maa-
dies was discovered by M. Pasteur.
Among the contagious diseases spread
by microbes are smallpox. tuberculosis,
bronchitis and yellow fever. According
to the bess authority the microbe which
attacks the human system is thread-like
and cylindrical in form, and breeds at
the rate of LOCO a minute. Pasteur
holds that the quickest way to destroy
them is to inhale oxygen freely.

THE Ell PASO DA NJ.
An International Proposition Sat Down
Upon by sherman.

CHICAGO, April THE bill concerning
the irrigation OF arid lands in the valley
of the Rio Grande river, the construction
of dam across SAID river at or near FL
Paso, Texas, tor the storage OF its waste
waters and for other purposes, came up
in the senate Saturday afternoon.
Senator Reagan of Texas, who made q
favorable report from the select commit.
tee on irrigation and reclamation OF arid
lands, urged the immediate passage OF
the bill, but Senator sherman said grave
questions of international law were in
volved and the bill ought to be considered
in executive session.
After some discussion between Sherman
and Hoar on one side and Reagan on the
other, present consideration of the bill
was objected to, aud subsequently, after
Sherman and Hoar had spent some time
in whispering into the ar Of the Texas
senator, who seem to be provoked at the
failure of the senate to pass the bill, it
was referred to the committee on foreign
re ations for further consideration.

Land Grant Settlement Proposition
that will Not settle,

CHICAGO, April IA Washington spe-
ciaI SAYS: One of the great problems
congress has hal to do with in the past
fifty years is the settlement OF Spanish
and Mexican land grants land claims in
The interior and mountainous country OF
the west
Various efforts have vainly been made
iy leaders OF both houses to devise an
acceptable and sufficient bill. From
Present indication the house is going to
send into the senate soon, Just such a
measure as will satisfy that body. This
is Congressman Wickbam's bill to estab-
lsh a United States land court and
provide Judicial investigation and settle
ment Tor private land claims in the terri
tories OF Arizona, New Mexico and the
state Of Colorado The court is to exercise
jurisdiction on the settlement OF private
land claims holding alternate sessions in
Washington and the states and territories
designated. 1t is also to have an attorney.
The Wlckhan bill proposes when
description OF land shall require that
location be ascertained by mountain
ranges, mountain tops, forests and like
natural Objects, Whereby or by ANY de-
scriptlon thereof the quantity of lana in
any such grant or concession is un-
certain, the said court shall declare and
adJudge such claim or grant void, except
as to the part OF land in such grant in
actual possession OF the grantee or his
assigns, or legal representatives, at the
date OF treaty oi concession. A petition
is required to he made to the court with
IN three wears, failure TO comply i'll
validates the claim. Another striking
feature OF the bill is no confirmation shall
he made or patents issued ior more than
eleven square leagues Of land.
