age to ladies and children.

ROMANCE OF A CLAIM.
Morrison Foster Interested in q Youngstown
Case That Rivals Fiction.

|
YOUNGSTOWN, o., Dec. 30-[SpecidL l-Hon.
| Morrison Foster, of Allegheny, has COM
menceda number of suits here involving
the title to large amount of prop erty in
the Sixth ward. The present residents have
| erected theron some OF the handsomest resi-
dences in that portion of the city. Quite
number of these have already settled with
MI roster, securing Quit claims.
,oe1 6eneath TINS litigation is romance. In
1851 Eliza Wick. daughter of Thomas L..
WICK, pioneer here, formed the acqua1n-
tance of Abner II. Tyler. of Warren. At
that time she was handsome maiden and
ne dashing beau. They were married and
removed to Wheeling, W. Va, where Mrs.
TAILOR died. leaving, as was supposed. only
one child. Thomas Tyler. Prior to her
death, Mrs. Tyler decided a large tract OF
land in this city, now the Sixth ward, to her
mother. After the death of his wife, Abner
TYLER, as next friend for his son Thomas
Tyler, commenced suit to have the convey
ance made by Mrs. Tyler to her mother de-
clared trust for their children. The Court
held that the deed was held in trust for
Thomas Tyler, then the only known son of
Mrs. Taylor. At the instance of the grand
mother the case was taken to the District
Court. which decided that the property was
held in trust for the children and not for
any particular child.
Shortly after the litigation Thomas Tyler,
then supposed to be the only child. died.
Mrs Wick, the grandmother, revived the
llt12ation, when sister to Mrs. Tyler re-
was given to Mrs. Wick, who sold large por-
tlons of it and willed the balance to her Sec
ond husband
Vow it seems the grandmother knew
all the time chat other than one child was in
existence. A son had been born to Mrs.
Tyler previous to the birth of Thomas, and
this unknown son has turned up with all
proofs in his possession. 1t was shown to
the sons lawyers that while Mrs. Eliza
wick Tyler was temporarily living on Lex
1ngton avenue, New York, son was born.
This child was Immediately taken
away by its grandmother, its own
mother having never seen it. This
child was adopted by a wealthy
family, educated raised and sent to Europe,
and fully identified by his grandmother on
his return. The latter died without reveal
ing to the young man much of his family
history. Mrs. Wick had, however, fre-
quently talked with her eldest daughter,
Mrs. Major Crosman, mother of Henrietta
Crosman, the actress, and when the real
heir started to look up his paternity he had
little trouble in proving his right to the
property in Youngstown.
just what prompted the grandmother to
keep the boys birth secret will never be
known He is certainly the son of her
daughter. The young man, who is known as
Robert III. Tyler, is now a contractor in New
York City, and Morrison Foster, the uncle
of Eliza Wick Tyler, is making q winning
fight for the LAD who has had such an event
ful career. The property involved is val
ued at many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, and it seems the present owners can do
little but compromise.

The retrospective, reflective, reckoning
leaf-turning and leaf-tearing time has
come. The New Year is only one more
wintry sunset distant Tomorrow Father
Time Will dance on the grave Of a dead
and buried year while placing higher
figure on the calendar of the centurv-a
sure sign that cur old friend the World
and all therein is another chapter nearer
the end of life's long story.
To-day, on the verge of the parting,
retrOspection and reflection will be in
order Some, but we hope not very many,
will he hard on the old year-will blame
it for crossing their careers, blighting their
prospects. bittering their sweets. Some,
and We hope very, very many, will sigh to
see it 60, it was so good to them. And out
of these sad and Joyous memories will
come the ref1ection-a longer look into the
magic mirror of the mind. This will soften
the thoughts of those who long to bury
the past, and they, along with the more
fortunate, will finally decide that the good
overbalances the evil. Then bygones will
be bygones-a tear for the dead and a
health for the living.
Tomorrow will come the resolves and
the leaf-turning. With the burial of the
Old will he born the hope that the New
will so live as to die as full of honors. If
the good resolutions recorded then remain
unbroken. 1899 is sure to have more
wreaths placed upon its bier than memor-
able 81.
But the superstitious will enter upon
the coming year with fears and forebod-
ings. 1t will be born on direful day
the unlucky Friday. If the good old
world which has Time in its keeping now
perseveres in its progressive march, 1892
will lift the fateful shadow and remove
the bar sinister from the sixth day Of the
week for all time

REDSKINS DANCING AGAIN.
They Say the Messiah Is Coming This Time
Sure and White Are Uneasy

lney say the Messiah Is Coming This Time
Sure and White Are Uneasy.
FoRr RENO, i. T., Dec. 3O.-The Messiah
craze has broken out afresh among the
Cheyennes and Araphahoes and not little
anxiety is felt. Dancing has been going on
among the hills for several days, and the
craze is apparently spreading. The leaders
are Whirlwind and Old Crow, of the Chey-
ennes, and Left Hand, the head chief of the
Araphahoes.
They declare that the Messiah, who is to
expel the whites, bring back the buffalo and
restore their hunting grounds to the Indians,
Is soon coming and that the ghost dance"
will be kept up day and night until he ar
riyes. Runners have come in from Walkers
Lake in Nevada, melting the Indians to
activity. The ghost dance goes on day and
night, the Indians being divided into re-
lays. All are provided with ghost shirts.
As yet the excitement has not reached the
Comanches, but it is feared that they, too,
may become involved. This is regarded as
serious danger, rs the Comanche5 have an
ample supply of ponies, in which the Chey-
ennes and Araphahoes are deficient. All
are well armed with Winchesters and re-
yolver5. The officers OF most experience in
Indian warfare are not inclined to believe
that any serious outbreak will occur at
present, as the Indians have a horror of
winter campaigns.

PIERRE. S. D., Dec. 30.-The mixed-blood
Indians and squaw men are so absorbed
with the Government outrage" upon them
of depriving them of lands and rations that
they have organized "The Mixed Blood In
dian Rights Association of the United
States" at Fort Pierre.
They claim that by the Sioux bill, by the
Constitution and by every act OF the Gov
ernment since the first treaty with any In
dian nation the Government has recognized
the mixed bloods as Indians until this pres
ent hour. They intend to see if what has
been done with them is the result of misrep-
resentation and fraud or not. The associa-
tion is mailing bags of its circular letters to
the numerous Indian nations of the United
States. They claim that there will be d
prompt response.

1t is true that corporations that secure

IT is reported that Mrs. johnson, the
prophecies of Kansas City who predicted
that the world would come to an end on
Christmas at 5 o'clock P. NJ, is unhappy over
the stupid obstinacy of the old globe in re-
volving along at the usual humdrum twenty
four hour rate. This unvarying result is
calculated to discourage Millerite soothsay-
ers and their adherents; but ordinary people
will come to the conclusion that it is a
pretty fair sort of world in good weather,
and might as well last a while longer.

Is a free coinage man of national reputation,
is the originator of a unique idea for the
betterment OF highways. He has had blank
petitions to Congress printed containing the
recommendation THAT you enact a law to
issue s5OO,OOOOOO of treasury notes, to be q
full legal tender in payment of all debts,
both public and private, such money to be
set apart exclusively for public roads and to
go to each State pro rata with the number
of miles of road in the State, and to be appro-
priated and issued at the rate of $4,000 900 a
month"
The protector of this scheme says that as
the Supreme Court has decided that Con-
gress has the power to issue bills of credit in
times of peace or war, one of the first
functions of that body is to establish and
maintain roads. 1t would give to the 9,00O,-
900 laboring people of the country ls days
work each year at 81 % day, or to the 2, ,225,-
900 of idle people it would furnish 70 days
work each year.
