THE RAILROAD WINS.
Decision of a Test Mineral Land
Case in Montana.

decision OF lest AInefdl Adnu
Case in Montana.
Special TO the Clone.
HELENA, Mont, June 12.-The most
important decision yet rendered in the
contest growing out of the mineral land
cases along the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad was handed down In the
United States circuit court to-day. The
case was that of The Northern Pacific
railroad vs. K. T. Barden and Others
In 1888 Barden took up mineral claim
about three miles from Helena on a
section of land granted the railroad by
act of congress. By this act all mineral
lands were exempted from the grant to
the railroad. The railroad filed its map
through Montana in 1882. Miners Of
the state have all along contended
that the exclusion of mineral lands in
cluded those known to be mineral at
the time of the selection, on which min
eral has been found since. Barden's
case was backed by the mineral land
association of. the state, and the case
was submitted to Sawyer, as agreed on
a statement of facts that the land was
mineral and had been located by Bar
den after the grant had been confirmed.
Judge Sawyer'S opinion is very exhaust

lands granted the Northern Pacific rail-
road, they must have been known to be
mineral previous to the location of the
line of road in 1882. Judge Knowles.
United States district judge, dissents,
and the case is to be carried to the su-
preme court. 1t was a test case. and if
the decision stands, it will give the
railroad title TO some of the best-paying
mines in Montana and Idaho. The de-
cision also decided that Barden pay the
railroad company the value of the min
eral he has taken from the land.

Suspected Suicide Of August
Jackson, Prominent City
Contractor.
Last Seen Alive Thursday
Evening, When He Hired a
Boat to Go Fishing.
A Wife and Six Children
Await the Return of the
Father.
Losses in Business the Sup
posed Cause for His Ae-
tion.

A most mysterious affair, which, from
the facts gathered, gives every indica-
tion of a deliberate suicide by August
Jackson, a contractor, living with his
wife and six children at 800 Fuller
street.
Yesterday morning Police Officers
| Oldberg and Mulcare, of the Margaret
street division. went out to Owasso
| BASS lake to fish. While making their
way through the woods they came upon
a horse and buggy tied to tree, The
vehicle and horse gave indications
of having been there for some time,
being wet and damp. The officers
searched the buggy, and found under
the seat long, brown pocketbook.
There was no money in it, but a num-
Der of papers bearing the name August
| jackson. The officers drove the horse
to the hotel and boat house kept by
Charles BOggs, on the edge of the lake,
and from him learned that Thursday
evening man had driven~the buggy
to the lake, and said that he wanted
to hire boat to go fishing. He took a
skiff and, after securing a rod and bait,
rowed out on the lake. Nothing more
was seen of him or the boat until yes
terday morning, when the boat was seen
drifting few hundred yards from the
shore. Mr.. Boggs rowed after it, and
found everything i'll the boat. The
bait and rod were untouched,
the oars were carefully slowed
away, and in the thwarts was
a black hat worn by the man who had
hired the boat Nothing further could
be learned by the officers, and they re-
turned to town and reported the matter
to Capt. Hanft.
A GLOBE reporter late last evening
visited the house, 369 Fuller strees, and
saw Mrs. Jackson, with her six children
round her crying for their father. She
was very composed as she answered
the questions put TO her. She
stated that her husband was missing
and feared he had taken his life. He
had been drinking heavily of late, and
often complained that he had lost
money in business; that his name did
not stand well with those who knew
him. Last Sunday she caught her hus-
band cleaning revolver She was
very much surprised, as she had
never seen MIN with a revolver
before. She asked him why he
mad it, and he pointed it at her and said
it would do for them both. She was
very frightened, and informed the DO
lice at Rondo street station who sent an
officer to the house and took the weapon
from him.
Mrs. Jackson remarked that her hus-
band had often said he was disgraced
by business reverses, and when he had
been drinking he acted like crazy man
and would say that when he died he
wonld die like man. Last Thursday
he said he was going fishing with a
friend. and drove away in his buggy.
He did not call for his friend but went
out to the lake.
Jackson is Swede, thirty-four years
old, and is well known as contractor
and builder. He stands high in the or
der of Odd Fellows, to which he had be-
longed tor many years.
The lake will be dragged to-day in or
der to recover the body.

A RICH HAUL.
New York Life Insurance Com
pany Loses Heavily.

NEW YORK, June 12.-An evening pa
per has this: Julio MerZbacher, the
general agent of the New York Life
Insurance company for the West Indies
and Spanish America, is a defaulteI
for thousands. The news of the
defalcation has just been made public
The robbery was discovered by Merz-
bacher's partner, JoaXuin Sanchez, last
December, when Sanchez returned
from six months trip through South
America. MerZbacher, when accused
by his partner. made clean breast of
the affair. Then notice was sent
out to all the agencies of the
New York Life Insurance company
in Spanish America that Merzbacher
had retired, owing to i'll health. The
amount of his steaiings is not known,
1t is estimated at from $500, GOO to $780,
600. The officers of the company admit
that it is over S150,O00.
ployed by Col. A. J. Dickinson, who, up
to five years ago, was the general agent
Of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany for Mexico and Spanish America.
Col. Dickinson acquired large fort
une IN his agency and retired
from the company. Then his
business was turned over to
Messrs. Sanchez and Merzbacher. The
general agents of a big company like
the New York Life have almost COM
plete control of the business that passes
through their hands. The New. York
Life does business in the West Indies
and Spanish America which aggregates
between $20.000,000 and S3O.O00,000 an
nually. The premiums on these enor-
nous sums were all payable to Sanchez
& Merzbacher. MerZbacher was fire.
quently in New York, while Sanchez
took long trips through Mexico and
South America to solicit new business
and establish new agencies.
The officers of the company refuse to
give any information as to the exact
amount of the loss the company has
sustained through MerZbacher's de-
falcation. They admit that it is over
S150,000, but say that the company Will
lose nothing, as Mr.. Sanchez can be
held responsible for his partners steal
ings, and besides they say, that the re-
newal premiums on the enormous
amount of insurance that MerZbacher
secured will go far toward wiping out
the loss

PATTIsON IS UPHELD.
His Appointee for Treasurer Will
ReDlace OelIers.


PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-The su-
preme court this morning decided that
city councils did not have the right to
select the successor to City Treasurer
BardsleY. Richard G. Oellers is
thus ousted from the Office, and the
appointment of W. Redwood Wright.
by Gov. Patterson, is sustained.
In lengthy opinion. the chief justice
says: ut is sufficient to say that for
the purpose of this case we must regard
the officer designed as city treasurer as
a county and not city officer. The
treasurer, by whatever name he may be
called, is a county officer, exercising
his functions just as the sheriff, recorder
of deeds and other county officers ex-
ercise their functions. The court holds
that every question now present was
raised and decided in the case of Tag
CART VS.. Commonwealth. the fact that
the Office of controller was contended
for in that case, making no difference.
as the same law applies to each. A dis.
senting opinion was filed BY Justices
Williams and Mitchell, in which the
principal contention was that the Office
of county treasurer was abolished hHthe
act of consolidation. and the office Of
city treasurer thereby created, and that
therefore the council has the power To
I'LL the vacancy.

Toronto Divines Are Wrathy at

Toronto Divines Are Wrathy at
the Prince of Wales.
TORONTO. Ont June 12-The Rev.
DR.. Douglas, a prominent Methodist
divine of Montreal, created sensation
here to-day while addressing the To-
ronto Methodist conference by refer
ring to the Prince of Wales, con-
nectlon with the baccarat scandal,
which he denounced in most vigorous
manner. The speaker said: AN
other year has brought our gracious
queen sadness, sorrow, diminished
spirit. England's widowed queen,
England's noble, self-sacrificing queen,
mourns as mother to-day over the
CHASTITY specter of George ". rising
up beneath the shadow of our great
throne and the very heir of the proud
est empire this world has ever wit
messed bowling to the degradation of
gambling house. The people of the
empire know that he has been con-
cerned in demoraliZing and infamous
a0omlnation. The awful spectacle of
the heir to the throne publicly acknowl-
edging his completely in a gambling
transaction will do more to weaken the
power OF the throne than anything
which has happened for years. Though
my name be reproached, l shall not
cease to lift up my voice against wick
edness in high as we'll as low places.
Never, | hope, will loyal Methodism
cease to denounce whatever is wrong"
Rev. DIR. Potts, of Toronto, said:
"Often have burned with indignation
at the degradation heaped on members
of our royal family by scandalously
false reports of American newspaper
correspondents, but the day has come
when we must bow our heads in shame
for what has been established by the
courts and the newspapers of the world,
and acknowledge that the whole ma
ton has been disgraced." Loud ap-
plause greeted the remarks of both
speakers,

on the grain duties was resumed.
Chancellor Won Caprivi declared that
it was impossible for the government
to submit TO the house the reports
which had been received from foreign
countries in regard to the inquiries
made by the government about grain
matters. But the chancellor added,
commenting On the Russian report, that
there was no danger that Russia could
not supply sufficient grain for the use
OF Germany. Later on the chancellor
announced that the municipal author1-
ties OF the city of Berlid had sent him
memorial declaring that the steadiness
oil trade was matter of primary i'm
portance to the working people
OF Germany, but adding that agi-
tation did not conduce to this result,
which could only be obtained through
the course adopted by the government
In conclusion the chancellor strongly
protested against the reproach that the
government had not paid due consider
alton to the welfare of the working peo-
pie. After considerable additional de-
bate, Herr Rickert's motion of yester-
day, that the government should submit
TO the house the material upon which
chancellor Won Caprivi based his recent
speech upon the grain duties, was re-
Jected by vote of 223 to 20.
