OBJECT TO THE CLAIM.
Trouble Over Some Property at the En-
trance of Schenley Park.

Trouble Over Some Property at the En-
trance of Schenley Park.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by Ed
ward Kelly, Jr., and W. C. Moreland against
DR.. W. II. Daily for George Schwan and wife.
The suit is brought to restrain DR.. DAILY from
laying any claim to three acres of land in
the Twenty-second ward, near Schenley
Park, owned by the plaintiffs. The land was
owned by the Schwans, who sold it to the
plaintiffs in November, 1883. In June, 1889,
DIR. DAILY, it is charged, obtained an option
on the land from the Schwans and agreed
to buy at So, 900 per acre. He afterward re-
corded conveyance.
The agreement, however, was repudiated
by the Schwans, who charged that DIR. DAILY
had deceived them and fraudulently misled
them about the opening of Schenley Park,
which has since enhanced the value of the
place. Though the argument was repu-
dated, DAILY has since been claiming an ad-
verse right to the land. The Court is now
asked to declare the record of conveyance,
ETC., void, and restrain Daily from laying
any claim to the land.

AN IDEA FOR CHICAGO.

A lively hope has been temporarily cre-
ated in the American mind over the chance
of visit to this country by the original
Emperor of Germany. The foundation
for the hope seems to have been chance
remark made by the Empress on the voy-
age by the steamer Furst Bismarck to
England, that "this would be splendid ves-
sci to go to America in" On that attenu-
ated basis the idea of trip to the United
States by the War Lord of Germany has
been built
Although the prospect of such visit is
slim, the idea presents high ideal for
Chicago enterprise to aim at. Philadel-
phia had something in the Imperial line at
the Centennial in the person of the ami
able and estimable Dom Pedro. But a
South American Emperor would be nothing
beside real German Kaiser; and if Chica-
go's quality, generally known as "nerve, -
could induce the peripatetic Wilhelm to
visit her show in 1898, she would cast the
Centennial attractions in that line deep in
the shade Besides, if the German En-
peror were to come he might bring other
sovereigntieS in his train, and Chicago
might temporarily ENJOY profuslon OF
crowned heads equal to that of Major
Generals at Washington during the war.
Nevertheless the matter would be one
requiring careful handling after the-Im-
perial visitors had reached this country.
Dom Pedro enjoyed the United States be-
cause he was the most democratic EN-
peror that ever lived. But the German
Wilhelm is notoriously outspoken, and is
frank in his dislike of democracies; while
our great American public would proba-
bly, be equally free to express its belief
that visiting monarch should make a
show of himself for the popular delecta-
ton. When neither Wilhelm nor the
American citizen would forget he was a
sovereign the task of keeping the peace
would turn a Chicago committeeman s
hair gray-if he had any in the first place.

But in view of the precious economic theory

WESTINGHOUSE REORGANIZATION.


The final success of the reorganization
of the Westinghouse Electric Company
was formally announced at the meeting
yesterday, and that arduous operation may
now he deemed complete. The work of
securing the reorganization has been full
of delays and difficulty, so much so that at
times it seemed close to failure. But the
energy and persistence of Mr.. Westing-
house has carried the arrangement through
TO final success, and the company is placed
definitely and, it is hoped, permanently,
on its feet once more.
OF course, it is a matter of general con-
graduation to Pittsburg that a manufact-
uring corporation with such local import
ance as the Westinghouse Electric Com
pany, and in which so large amount of
PittSburg capital was invested, either by
investment or loans, should be clearly and
finally freed from its recent complica-
tons There is every reason to believe
that with its present debt provided
for under this arrangement, the future
of the enterprise will be one of prosperity
and usefulness The field of electricity
has hardly been opened up, and offers
vast scope for active work. Although the
electric light decision may circumscribe
the company's enterprise in one direction,
there are others in which opportunities for
enterprise are practically limitless. With
the finances Of the company placed on a
secure basis there is every reason to be-
lieve it will be able to utilize all oppor-
tunities and yield rich returns to share
holders.
The reorganization which preserves
these opportunities and keeps so impor-
tant an industry in active operation is an
aUspicious event, and will evoke general
cOngratulation throughout the community.
