Tho New York Herald says cool
wave Is approaching No hope the
Herald is right, as Its advent will DO
hailed with pleasure. Tho season for
such turlid weather Is certainly nearly
over. yet we are reminded by our
friend Battin of Chrlstiana hundred,
that in the Centennial year, 1870, there
were five weeks of weather similar to
that we are now experiencing. Every
day he said to his wife, such extreme
heat can only last short time, but 10
did last until August closed, and Sep
tender commenced, before change
occurred.

THE SALE EsToPpED.
A Citation Served Upon Mayor Harring
ton Calls a Halt in Auditor MitcheII'

Proposed Action.
The sale of the property of Samuel
d. Forbes, advertised to take place on
Tuesday, at the city auditors office, did
not come off, and thereby hangs a tale of
considerable interest.
The property is located on the easterly
side of Thatcher street. between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth, and on the westerly side
of Head street, between Eleventh and
Twelfth.
Some time ago the city set curbing along
this property and, as provided for in the
city charter, an assessment covering the
expense of the work was levied against the
property. Mr. Forbes has refused to pay
this assessment or lien, and Mayor Har-
rington recently issued warrant to City
Auditor Mitchell instructing him to adver-
tise and sell the property in order TO re-
coup the city for the outlay in doing the
curbing. This is the usual and authorized
mode followed by the city authorities for
the collection of liens for curbing, and is
strictly in accordance with section 119 of
the city charter.
Mr.. Forbes has time and again combat
ted this procedure as unconstitutional, not
in court but privately, and once only has
he been known to pay the lien against his
property, and then he did so after entering
solemn protest against the legality of its
collection. He holds that he has no juris-
diction, no right in fee simple beyond his
Dullulli5 HutSs anu SIlOulu llOI De compel
led to pay for something over which he
has not the least control or authority. But
while this view has had its weight in de-
termining him to resist the payment of
the lien in question, it has not been the
sole factor leading the proceedings taken
this morning.
Some time in July, 1883, he saws he sold,
a portion of this South Wilmington prop
erty to his son Calvin, and his direct OBJ
lection seems to be against satisfying the
lien for curbing that property when it was,
at the time the curbing was set, the prop
erty of another. When the city auditor
searched the records about two weeks ago
the books showed that Samuel ID. Forbes
was still the owner, but the fact is, as was
shown by an examination of the records
Tuesday, that in 1888 he had transferred by
deed a portion of it to his son. This deed
was recorded on Monday and bears date
more than seven years ago.
In order to straighten matters out as
much as may be the elder Mr. Forbes has
employed Benjamin Nields, and Tuesday
the lawyer obtained a writ of ceftiorari
from Parliamentary Horty, citing the mayor
and Council of Wilmington to appear at
the next term of the superior court and .
produce all books, papers, &C., bearing
upon the case. The mayor handed the
writ to City Solicitor Lyman, who in
structed City Auditor Mitchell not to sell
the property, pending decision by the
court. The case will be called for argu-
ment at the May term, and will be
watched with much interest, as II is
thought it will involve the constitli-
tionality of that portion of the city char
ter relating to the collection of liens.

JUST rENG E4NCE.
Execution of the Governor of Belanona,
Who Murdered 27S Persons.


PARIS, March 24,-Prompt vengeance
has fallen upon Ramiasatra, governor of
the province of Belanona. Madagascar,
who recently massacred 27S persons, in
Guiding men, women and children, be-
longing to the leading families, Dispatches
Just received here state that Ramiasatra
and his brother, who instigated the mas
sacre, have been executed on the spot
where the wholesale killing took place
under the cruel governors directions
Ramiasatra murdered these people be-
cause of a petition from the populace, adj
dressed to tho government, asking protec-
ton from his repeated acts of cruelty
This slaughter of men, women and chill
dren continued for several days. In many
cases the agonies of the victims were pro-
tracted by the governor causing their
limbs to be gradually dismembered and
their heads to he slowly sawed off. During
the course of the massacre many of the
women who were put to death were first
outraged. In the case of all the victims
their bodies We're thrown to the dogs.
In addition to these atrocities, the survl-
vors were compelled to erect trophy com
posed of the heads of the murdered people
upon spot near the scene of the butch
cry.
The fury of the poplilace was aroused TO
such pitch by Ramiasatra's brutality that
the government of Madagascar was com
PEELED totake notice of thegovernor's blood
thirstiness investigate the whole affair and
punish the offenders. Thanks to the moral
pressure brought to bear on the govern
ment by the foreign residents. Governor
Ramaisatra and his equally ferocious
brother have met the fate which they so
richly deserved

Esmonde for Simultaneous presentation
with that of Mr.. Parnel.
The Times adds: IA contest in Cork
must follow unless Mr.. Parnell tries to
escape by pleading some flaw in the pro-
cedure of his opponent. If he decides to
fight, it is the plain duty of the tInionists
to join in the coming battle with the Con-
servatives. The Conservatives should,
therefore, start candidate, for in their
division of their foes lies the Unionists'
opportunity"

that that individual had He'd at the first
sight of steel. He (ParnelD was ready to
fight the seceders but he would not allow
the Healys to make a deal with the Cork
Tories and by combining with them show
that the voice of rebel Cork was different
from what ii was in 1880.
DUBLIN, March 24.--The Tories and
Unionists of Sligo finally resolved tonight
not to take part in the coming election in
that division. Their decision was received
by the McCarthyities with loud cheers.
