A Mistake in Location.

The Detroit Times OF November 30,
has the following to say of parties who
formerly lived IN the county. Ray Nc.
Connel, u years old, and pretty Mrs.
McFee. by some months at least his
senior, were arrested to-day at the
Arlington Hotel, where they were liv-
ing as man and wife, by Sheriff Downey
of Gratiot county and Detective Noble,
of this city. The pair are in custody
at the central police station, where Mc-
Connel is charged with getting money
under false pTetenses. Mcconnell WAS
formerly a bookkeeptr for Peter Nc
Alpin, a Kalamazoo restaurant keeper
and has very respectable widowed
mother at Charlotte Last summer he
fell victim to the wiles of Mrs. Nc
Fee who lived with Ter husband and
three children at Alma. They planned
an eiopement and in pursuance Of this
project Mcconnell borrowed nearly
500 from lis employer, representing
that NE was about to come into con-
siderable property and wanted the
money TO strengthen the matter out.
Then the guilty pair fled, taking Mrs.
McFee's younIe.t child with them.
Search for them was unsuccessful until
recently, when they were located at
the Arlington. The child they were
having boarded out" The Times is off
on part Of the item. The woman has
not resided in Alma for some three
years, while Mcconnell is said to have
been a resident of Mt. Pleasant and be.
fore that of Ithaca Sheriff Downey is
not known in this county.

According to the late reports
Chile is disposed to do justice to the
demands of the United States and
make amends for the insults to our
flag and assaults on our seamen. II
may be that the Chilein government,
upon investigation, found that simple
justice required such a course but it
is more than likely that the change
in the war-like spirit of Chile was
caused by the formidable preparation
of the United States. Those who
derided the efforts to build up a navy
have now a chance to see some ad.
vantage in having one Unless the
country has the power of backing up
its demands it will inspire no respect
from even the minor powers.

The following is synopsis Of a
written opinion by Attorney General
Ellis in response to an inquiry from
Prosecuting Attorney Parkinson, Of
Jackson county, whether registers
of deeds are authorized to furnish a
list of mortgages for taxation under
and by virtue of act 262, OF the Jaws
of 1887 or whether said law has been
repealed"
The tax law at the time act 262
was passed required mortgage, to be
taxed as personal property to the
holder at his place of residence.
Section lG OF act 200 of the Public
Acts of 1891, provides that a mort.
gage for the purpose Of assessment
and taxation shall be treated as an in
terest in the real estate, to be assessed
and taxed to the owner in the county
where located and the act also makes
it the duty of the holder of such
mortgages to file with the assessing
officer, before the 10th day of April
In each year, written statement
under oath Of all his estate situated
in said assessing district liable to
assessment; or, a statement of the
interest of mortgages may be filed
by the mortgagor.
The provisions Of act 2G2 are in
consistent with those of the new law,
and the information would be of no
value. Sec. III of act 200 provides
that all acts or parts of aets any wise
contravening any of the provisions
OF this act are hereby repealed. !
am therefore clearly Of the opinion
that the provisions of the two laws
are absolutely inconsistent, and by
reason of the said act, No. 200 Of
1891, act 2G2 of 1887, is repealed.

question of connecting the great
