A Decision Reversing T..lss at Washington
Courthouse, @.

NOuvtnOuS6t0.
CINCINNATI, o., May 17.-Iudge Sage
has decided in favor of the plaintiff in
the suit OF j. ii. seawell and others
against Nancy Crawford and others.
This is the case where sult was filed
for ejcctment of property holders in
Fayette county and in. Washington
Courthouse, where they laid claim to
over 500 acres of land upon which large
stores and residences have been
erected. The suits for cjectment and
recovery of these lands began as far
back rs 1924 and have been in all tho
lower courts, reaching the United
States circuit in 1891. Exceptions were
dled to the reports of the commission
ers appointed by the lower courts be-
cause they did not allow the defendants
for improvements. In taking the de-
crecs in these cases the records in the
original ejectment cases were intro
duced. The decision will be received
by the people who now reside on the
lands with the greatest apprehension.
The heirs of one lon6 deceased are
given clear title to the grounds upon
which their homes and property are To-
Gated, and they must paw besides to
those heirs back rents for several years.
The property involved 10 valued eat
many million dollars. Upon large
tract Of it the city OF Washington Court
house with its public buildings and
stores stand. Many persons will lose
their accumulations for years, as they

Kellogg, Of Kansas City, on July q Will
Test His Flying Machine.
KANSAS CITY, May 17.-Work is rap
idly going forward on the air ship be-
Ing built at5the exposition building by
a. A. Kellogg, the Clinton inventor.
There has been much delay in getting
che material on the ground and Mr..
Kellogg's flying machine is, therefore,
not SO far advanced rs he expected it
would be at this time. The rattan of
which the frame work is made was
shipped from the West Indies, and it
was hut little more than week ago
that it arrived. The ribs of the ma
chine in which it's inventor hopes to
fly over the honsetops of Kansas City,
are all in place and in their present,
condition give the appearance of a
basket forty feet long with no bottom.
The linen buoyancy chamber, which
Is 10 feet long and 20 feet across, was
finished today. Mr.. Kellogg and a
humber of assistants have been work
Ing steadily upon it for several weeks.s
1t is made of the best linen obtainabl&
and when covered with n coat OF war;
nish will be impervious to the atmos-
phere. The great bag will be tested in
q few days aud its possible defects rem
cdied. Mr. Kellogg is now awaiting
the arrival of an elecric motor which is
to furnish power to the wings and
which was specially designed by
a Carthage electrician. The gearing
for the propelling apparatus is ready
to be adjusted and as explained this
morning by Mr.. Kellogg to reporter
is in fact most ingenious device.
Mr.. kellogg, the inventor, is still
sanguine that his machine will fly and
his confident manner betrays no mis-
givings as.to its successfully navigating
the air. He is being assisted in the
work by oetner Caspar, an expert me-
chanic OF Clinton, and he expects to be
ready to test it by July 4.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The Rev. DR..
BARTLETT, pastor of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian church, one of the
largest and most fashionable churches
In this city, has declared in favor OF
Sunday opening of the worlds fair
Having recently passed couple of
weeks at Chicago, he addressed an i'm
mense audience on what he knew
about the fair DR.. Bartlett said the
display was national in its cherac-
ter and reflected the glory and prosper
lty OF our great country.
After giving an account of what
seemed to him to be the most interest
ing features and the cost of seeing the
fair and the methods of getting about,
he gave his views on the Sunday aues-
ton. He paid a tribute to the Ameri-
can Sabbath as an American institu-
tion, but said he did not turn up his
trousers because it rained at London,
neither did he turn down his Sabbath
because it was disrcgarded in Europe.
tie believed in the sanctity of the Sab
bath and in maintaining it in its integ-
rity.
But at Chicago at the present time
and for months to come peculiar con
dition existed and would exist. lie es,
timated that there would be in the vi
cinity Of the fair grounds at least 1O0..
900 people more than all the churches
in Chicago could accommodate. If
Moody should go there and set up
tent capable of holding 10000 people
and would conduct three services each
Sunday, still there would not be a
place for all who might wish to go.
The location of the fair grounds was
not in a particularly attractive place
and the hotels as a rule were built to
temporarily provide sleeping quarters.
In order to give the people some place
to spend the afternoon of Sundays he
was in favor of opening the grounds to
the public on Sunday afternoons and
believed that it would be better to
allow the public to wander along the
avenues and among the fountains of
the fair grounds than to be confined TO
the dusty, barren streets outside and
the cheerless hotels.
