WANT THE PROPERTY NOW.

Church Property Acquired Forty-Five
Years Ago Has Never Been Conveyed.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by
the st. Peters German Lutheran Church of
East Liberty against Henry Shaler, trustee
of the church. 1t is stated that in 1916 r.
Bailey and wife decided to c. Negley, l..
Fogil and N. King, trustees of the church,
the church property in East Liberty, then
in PEBBLES township. 1t was intended to
be held as trust until the congregation
should be incorporated. This was done in
1S49
The trustees, however, never conveyed
the property to the church and they are all
now dead Shaler was appointed by the
court to succeed to the trust made vacant
by the deaths of the three men. 1t is now
asked that he be directed to convey the
property to the church, and that the trust
be declared terminated.

These inns provide stabling for the animals,

the night, the crews repair to the taproom
where "four-ale" or rum, as is the custom
among the laboring classes everywhere in
England, are drunk sparingly, while yarns
are spun and ancient and savory pipes are
smoked, until the closing, at 10 o'clock. At
that hour 100000 canal folk are turning

moored beside the bosky banks of canals in
the slumbrous English valleys-the women

100, 900 now civil, simple and honest folk
are up and away at o'clock in the morning.

Denies All His Charges,

Mrs. Catharine Gavenna yesterday filed
an answer to the suit for divorce brought
by her husband, John Gavenna. She denies
the charges made by her husband, and
claims that she did not embitter his life by
her violent temper, nor did she beat him
and put him out of the house and refuse to
live with him. On the contrary, she was
living with him when the subpoena in di-
vorce was served on her. For his part, he
has cruelty ill treated her and has not sup
ported her. She demands jury trial and
alimony.

and the Eastern part f Of the Pacific Ocean:
eclipse begins exactly at moonrise. At St.
Louis, Kansas City and New Orleans the
moon is partially eclipsed when it rises, and
it rises totally eclipsed at Denver, Salt Lake
City and San Francisco.
At the time of the eclipse the moon is
very close to its ascending node, and is in
the constellation Aries, the Ram at the be-
ginning, and in Taurus the Bull at the end
of the eclipse. AT the middle of the eclipse
the moon will be in the zenith in longitude

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-04-19
Man WILL BE THE CAPITAL OF N0NTANAg

Tits no wonder that the real estate boomers of Helena grow
first sad and then mad, when they witness the demand for nron-
erty in Bozeman and then turn to the dulness and stagnation
that exists in the real estate market in Helena.
It is no wonder that they resort to pictures of donkevs mar
rots and dogs--to anything in fact which will serve to direct at
tention from the pail which hangs over their city.
The pictures may not be beautiful in themselves. but thew
are sufficiently good to crafty the aesthetic tastes of the dwell
es in the temporary capital-and they are such a diversion from
the surrounding dunnes.
If the artist who thus caters to the sense of the beautiful in
Helena could for one moment forget his favorite subjects. and
give the donkeys, parrots and dogs a rest, and in their turn give
us a tombstone with the inscription Helena, died of too much
ambition" and over the epitaph place these words Of consola-
ton, 'requiescat in pace"
Such an inscription, while it might not afford present conso-
laton, would be far more realistic than the former efforts of his
genius. Such a picture would only anticipate fora short time
what will take place when the people of Montana locate the
capital at Bohemian.

Ammonia as q Motive Power.

FROM the fnllauelpnla Record.
A most successful test was made on Friday
of the use Of ammonia as a motive power to
displace steam. The test was the first that has
ever been made on a marine engine, and the
trial was most satisfactory. An ammonia en-
CINE plant has been fitted out on the tug Z. W.
Hartley. which made a trip up and down the
river, subjecting the new scheme to practical
test 1t is known as the Campbell ammonia
engine system. and its workings are novel and
interesting. not only to the mechanical and
scientific circles but also to the laymen Of the
industrial world.
Any ordinary engine can be converted into
Campbell ammonia engine simply by the addi-
ton of a generator" which is much like n
boiler. Steam is used simply for the purposes
OF heating the aqua ammonia in the generator
The heated ammonia expels gas leaving
weak solution of ammonia in the bottom of
this boiler-like affair. When. by raising the
temperature of the ammonia. sutric.ent power
Is generated the throttle valve Is opened and
the gas passes into the cylinder of the engine
and propels the piston rod in every way the
same rs steam. IL is here exhausted the same
as steam. but at this point the gas is cooled and
conducted back TO the generator. Before IT
reaches the latter vessel it ~ carried bya spray
coll to point where the gas comes in contact
with the ammonia solution which has been re-
jected from the generator, and here the solution
Is recharged by absorption and by the natural
affinity existing between water and ammonia.
BY this means the same body of ammonia is
used constantly, exhausting itself only to be
recharged with new life and to be returned to
the generator. The same is true of the water
used. The steam in the generator imparts its
heat to the ammonia and is thereby condensed
and carried back to the boiler to be used again.
In the ammonia engine there is absolutely no
waste. On the other hand there is a saving Of
coal. as the engine can be operated on one-half
the amount OF fuel. On the Hartley only one
OF the two furnaces was used, and there WAS all
the speed and pressure that could be desired.

party of yachtsmen were becalmed out ON
Lake Ontario last Sunday afternoon. and while
waiting for breeze the time Was occupied in
spinning yarns. There were two or three old
salts on board. and they did all the spinning.
while the younger and less experienced tsrs sat
and smoked and listened. Finally one Of the
old salts took his pipe from between his teeth
long enough to draw breath, and said:
You fellows give me a pain talking about
big storms. Why, was out in a storm in the
summer OF SO that was much bigger than
any that you have ever seen that they are like
cats paws compared to it"
Then he stopped and began industriously TO

the town orders had been issued by the rebel
authorities that every shop. tavern. hotel. thea

that Memphis was being visited by American
soldiers, his countrymen-that such reception
was inhospitable and must be changed and
that he must order and instruct every house TO
be opened forthwith. This was complied with TO
the immediate satisfaction Of everybody.
There appeared. however, at headquarters an
Episcopal clergyman named Dr. White. who
somewhat demurred.
II explained to him that the people of Menu
phis greatly needed Christian enlightenment,
and he must promptly open his church doors
and administer TO their wants.
