SHARP LAWYERS FOOLED.

Buried Their Money In Saltsd Morris
County Mine.
The spectacle of number of the ahlest
lawyers Of New York filing the roles Of
victims in business transaction has
never been on view in the Court
of Chancery before Ann f. Barge
o wned an iron mine in Morris county but
he'd no money to develop 1t. William N.
Herrick, mining engineer, undertook to
arrange that for her and ne succeeded
in interesting a number of New York
lawyers in the mines They invested
about 81. coo in cash in the concern and
gave Mrs Barge $400 in cash and 81, 900 in
stock OF the corporation they foI med. A
mortgage was given to Mrs. Cheney.
Mrs. Barge brought suit IN Chancery
through John Linn and William II.
Davis TO set aside the mortgage to Mrs.
Cheney and the conveyance to
the corporation of lawyers, claim
ing that she had been misied, and
that the corporation was fraud. The
case was commenced yesterday morning,
and was closed at noon today Mr.. Ed
wards and Mr.. James vreeland, Of Nor
ristown. appeared for the legal syndi-
cate.
Thecase was one Of the most humorous
that has been in Chancery 4 u some time
and it was comical to see the guilibility
of the eminen New York Counsel.
In deciding the case Vice-Chancellor
Green said that the LAWYERS were pretty
poor miners, but that everything
they had done had been perfe stly
honest and fair. Mrs. Barge
evidently knew all about the concern
aud she would have to lose her 81, 200 of
lose about $4,000 which they had
sunk in the mine as the mortgage
was upheld. The mining expert who had
been making good living out of the con-
Germ seemed to be the only one who had
made anything out of 1t.

THE curators of the State Uni
versity should move the State farm
to Mexico. Not the farm they
have in Columbia. They should
sell that one and buy a good one
near this city. The Kansas City
Star, speaking of this matter, says:
''The State Agricultural College at
Columbia has been thoroughly re-
organised by the Missouri Uni
versity curators. 1t is believed
that the changes which have been
made will place the college upon a
higher plane Of usefulness and eff
fciency, but il 10 doubtful whether
il will ever become the instrument
for good which it might be made
until 1t 10 entirely divorced from
tho University. The sentiment in
favor of separation is rapidly grow
ing, and 1t will be q great thing for
tho agricultural interests of the
state when this idea crystalizes
into sction."

Missouri Usury Bill a Law.


JEFFERSON Cry, No., April 81.
Governor Francis to-day approx
cd Senate bill No. 142, known as
the ''usury bill" This measure
has excited great interest through
out the State, and many petitions
for and against it have been receiv-
ed at the Executive office. 1t limits
the maximum contract rate of
interest in Missouri to 8 per cent,
and provides that upon proof Of
interest above 8 per cent having
been paid the excess shall be
credited on the principal. The
bill also provides that lines upon
personal property to secure the
payment of Indebtedness upon
which more than s per cent inter
est may have been collected OF
demanded shall be held illegal and
invalid. The effect of this will be
to put a stop to the exaction of ex-
orbitant interest upon chattel mort.
cages. In the larger cities of the
State there is q class of money
lenders who have been extorting
from helpless borrowers on house
