WANTS HER DOVER.
An Illinois Widow Enters Suit for Nearly
Half n Million.

An Illinois Widow Enters Suit for Nearly
Half n Million.
CHICAGO, May 15.--Suit was brought in
the superior court to-day against the I'LL
nois Central Railroad company involving
about $4,500,O00 worth of Hand on the lake
shore. between Fourteenth and Sixteenth
streets. Mrs. Emily A. Harrington, of
Geneva, ILL.,, is the complainant. Mrs. Her
rington is the widow of Augustus M. Her
and Northwestern Railroad company.
In 1884. James Harrington, Dr., the father
of Augustus M. Harrington, paid the gov
ernment $137 for 106 acres of land ON the
lake front. After his death his heirs con-
veyed, in 1856, this land to the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company, for $4,000. This
transfer WAS supposed to be legal. Clayton
Harrington, cousin OF Augustus M.
Harrington, however, has discovered in
examining the court records that when the
conveyance was made the wife of Augustus
some oversight, did not sign the transfer,
and. therefore, did not release her dover.
Augustus M. Harrington died in 1888,
and his widow, Mrs. Emily A. Herring
ton, is mnde the only complainant. The
bill asks that Mrs. Herrington's dover be
admeAsured and set off in the land sold to
the railroad company. Mrs. Herrington's
dover il about one-ninth of the five acres,
and she claims damage to the amount Of
dowry by the railroad company for the past
seven years. The strip of land now in liti-
cation also happens to be part of the
land which the Illinois Central company
proposes to convey to the CITY in return for
concessions to be made by the city.

II don't think the elections bill will be-
an issue. An elections bill will not get a
show in the next house. To change the
subject. any one who has studied the ques-
tion of immigration will be convinced that
there is need of moro stringent laws on this
subject. Figures show that the quality OF
immigrants has changed greatly within six
or eight years. Some inspection should
be made at the European end of the line.
"An examination before they leave home
as to the health of those who propose to
come to the United States would be desira-
BILE. This might be made by consular ply
sicians. An educational qualification would
be desirable, and the law On this point
should require the immigrant to be able to
read and write his own language"

Business Of Importance Transacted at the
Meeting Yesterday.
CHICAGO, May 19.-Much business of inn
portance to horse breeders was transacted
by the executive committee of the Ameri-
can Trotting Register ASSOCIATION to-day.
After long discussion it was voted to in
corporate rule in the bylaws that any
PAGER otherwise eligible may be admitted
for registry as standard when it has made
a record, in accordance with the rules of tho
association, of 1926 or better. It was
agreed that it was of vital Importance that
some safeguard be thrown around the reg
istry, to avoid any contingency of appeal
from the decision of the registrar. To eff
feet this board of censors was appointed,
consisting of Lucas Broadhead of
kentucky w. p. Ijams Of In
diana and G. F. Emory of Ohio.
This board will have absolute authority in
matters of registry. Rules vsre also adopt
cd directing that the year book Whall con-
tain simple summary of all harness races,
and all performances against tiiae shall be
at a regular meeting of a society in mem
sociations and conducted by regular off,
cials of such societies. This is Important
because hitherto there has been great un-
cestainty in many cases about authenticity.
Records against time shall neither consti-
tute record nor be bar for purposes OF
registration. Mr.. Brodhead, when asked
about the prospects for consolidation, said:
1.-THE National Breeders association is
ready to join us. but cannot legally take ac-
ton until December. At that time there is
no doubt amalRamation will be effected"

y
The Davis Case VIII Come Up In Butte
To- Day.
BUTTE. May 19.-[speclal. THE Davis
will case will probably be called tho first
thing tomorrow in Judge McHatton's
court. The most important phase OF the
famous contest ia now about to be pre-
ssnted. The genuineness of tho will un-
earthsd last July has been called into ques-
tion, and to establish its Renuineness the
present case has boon called. John A. Da-
Wis and others are tho proponents, and
Maria Cummings, Henry A. Root and 9TH
ers are the contestants. Some Of the ablest
lawyers in the land have been employed as
counsel on either side. The contest promises
to be one of the most interesting legal
battles that has been fought for years.
The Root faction have Col. r. G. IngersolI,
Nathaniel Myer. Senator Woolson, Lawyer
Paine, OF Iowa, Warren Tools, J. B. Clay
berg, of Helena, and Judge N. j. McCon-
nell. The proponents have W. w. Dixon,
Judge Woolworth, OF Omaha, Judge Trimble,
of Iowa, Judge Kirkpatrick, John w. For
bis and others. Col. Ingersoll arrived to-
day and many of the witnesses are already
on the ground. II is probable, however,
that several days will elapse before any tes-
timony will be taken or any important
business transacted. Owing to tho vast
interests at stake tho greatest care will be
taken IN the eelection of jury, and that
alone is likely to occupy the time of the
court for several days.

Martial Law in Port au Prince-LeGi-

Martial Law In Port au Prince-LeGi-
times Ambition.
NEw YORK, May 19.-Martial law has
been proclaimed in Port au Prince.
Armed soldiers patrol tie streets night and
day and no one il allowed to enter or leave
the city without a password. The Haytien
capital is literally in state of siege. The
cause of this condition of affairs is
agitation caused by the supporters of
Gen. Legitime, the deposed president.
This news is contained in letters received
by merchants engaged in Haytien trade in
New York. 1t is also announced that the
ministers Of finance and foreign affairs in
President Hippolyte's cabinet resigned.
though no explanation of this conduct is
given. The report that any attempt was
made on the life Of President Hippolyte is
absolutely denied. The exact date on
which martial law was proclaimed in
the Haytien capital is not given. For months
though, it was said, the supporters of LeRi-
time had been actively engaged in stirring
up feeling against the present administra-
tion. The deposed president, who is now
sojourning in Jamaica, has, it is said, been
regularly posted in the work of his secret
emissaries. President Hippolyte, however,
has not been mapping and he is now de-
termined to nip the threatened uprising in the
bud, and at the same time if possible bring
the guilty ones to just ice.

New York, May 19.-The Railroad and

for building the section of the Siberian
railway from Vladivostock to Grafskaia
has been provided and that a staff of en-
gineers started from st. Petersburg early
IN March. These engineers will be car
ried from Odessa TO Vladivostock on Rus
sian war ship, and, as the voyage takes
about forty day, the opening was expected
to take placeearly in May. The engineer
in charge of construction is A. Oursatti,
who had charge of the preliminary sur
veys, and his chief assistant is L. Dox.
Az the material for construction is
abundant along the line grading and
other work will proceed rapidly. Several
tunnels are required. but they will not be
difficult of construction. The actual com
mencement of work on this end Of tho
Siberian railroad will be made an occasion
of considerable ceremony, and the c2aro-

TARRYTowN, N. Y. May 19.-At 11:25 this
morning large quantity of dynamite WAS
blown up a short distance from the depot.
A gang of Italians was working here pre-
pairing tracks and making some improve
ments on the road. A freight car, contain
ing large quantity of dynamite, stood
upon side track not far from them.
Some of this explosive had been removed
from the car and placed alongside it and
the explosion of blast set it off. The ex-
p!osion shook the ground like an earth
quake and tore up everything about. The
air was filed with flying debris and frag-
ments Of human bodies. People block
away were thrown to the ground by the con-
cussion. When the smoke cleared away
there was sickening spectacle. Thirty
three men, principally Italians. lay upon the
ground. and the car was nowhere TO be
seen. Portions of the trucks we're thrown
100 feet away and not even the heavy
wheels remained on the track. A portion
of the track and road bed were blown away,
and great hole dug in the ground.
Many OF the dead were blown into the
river and five bodies still remain there.
There were twenty-four cases Of dynamite
in the first car on the train, each contain
ing fifty pounds. A spark from the engine,
it is said, set fire to greasy rope coiled in
front of the packages and the explosion
followed. Its force was terrific, the walls
of houses in Tarrytown were shaken and
| some cracked. and window glass fell in
showers to the sidewalks. Scores OF clocks
were stopped at 1l.20. The car in which
the dynamite was stored and those follow
ing it were completely demolished, while
the bodies Of unfortunates on the
train were hurled in every di.
rection. A terrible sight was wit
messed by those who hurried to the
spot. Dead bodies and terribly mangled
men still living could be seen about. The
locomotive was blown out of all semblance
to one, and the tender had been thrown
half way into the river. some men were
found a hundred yards away from the
track. while others were taken out from the
hole made by the explosion. The wounded
in most cases were terribly mutilated, in
several instances arms and logs being torn
off. As rapidly as possible the wounded
wore cared for by surgeons and removed ia
hospitals. Ten of those killed were picked
up along the track, while five were taken
from the river. Three of the injured died

All train hands were seriously injured al

The children ran wildly into the street
but fortunately no one WAS injured.
