Nj. English and Neitie English to set aside a
deed executed by Sturges 10 Mrs. English
Inc deco In gu stion cow Us the property AT
Fell street an Masonic avenue wbereon Mr.

S1i,ooo. IL Is alleged that the deed was Sc
cufeu Dy concerted plan OF the defendants to
oeIraud The plain Tiff OF his properly. The his
tory Oh Tile case as told In the complaint is an
interesting one.
Mr.. Sturges is an old man and has for many
years resided in CeDtervllle. Years OF toll en-

union was all unhappy one, aud the couple sep

Engineer SChussler'S Figures on
Pumps.
SPRING VALLEYS PROPOSITION.
The Company Will Provide Water
for Higher Localities if Present
Rates Are Maintained.

The meeting OF the Board of Supervisors
as committee of the whole was called to
order by Mayor Ebert yesterday morning.
The Mayor shortly afterward resigned the
chair to Supervisor Denman, and the an
nual investigation into the matter of city
water rates was resumed.
Engineer Schussler of the Spring Valley
Water Company was placed on the stand
and questioned in regard to the operating
expenses of the company. The witness
went over all the ground covered by Chief
Clerk Booker at the previous meeting, but
gave more details and general information.
In regard to pumping expenses it was
found that this year the cost was about
cents 1000 gallons, while the year before

possibility of United States income tax, which
applies 10 corporations.
AS the company claimed a deficit of S39. 900
In It's annual statement. The Supervisors did not
see how the Income ak could cut any figure,
but thought that the law would only apply TO
the stockholders.
Witness Booser was asked what would be
the probable income OF the company and he
answered Sl.690.O00 from all sources.
Supervisor Hinton asked II lie took IN con-
sideration the fact be tariff on coal and iron
had been reduced. which would tend 10 greatly
reduce the exp nses of the company.
The witness answered that the iron pipes
had all been bought already. and had to be
paid for at prices not Affected by the new
tariff.
This concluded all the testimony offered by
the Spring Valley Water Company. and AttOr-
ney Herrin began his argumrH to the commit
tee OF the whole. He said that all he desired
for the company was fair treatment. The law
required the Supervisors TO allow the corpora
tIon reasonable return on its investment.
Tine accounts presented could not be ques-
toned, as all could be properly verified by
vouchers. 1t could not be denied from the
showing that the company had run its busin ess
on an economical basis. He said that the pol.
Icy had been for years to drag the company
Into politics and TO make IL hight for its exist
enc for the reasons that Supervisors were
continually elected with pledges TO reduce
rates without knowing anything of the CON-
panys business. He claimed that the COM
pany had treated the city we'll, and il expected
the same treatment

dends cannot be paid. you Will strike at the
value Of the stock. decrease and jeopardize the
value OF the bonds and cripple the company
Ii you re-eDact the present. water order and NOT
lower the rat any further you will settle
matters satisfactorily and NOT be subjected to
any unjust criticism"
Attorney Herrin read from a resolution
adopted by the Democratic general committee
in September last stating that the Democratic
Supervisors had violated their pledges, and
demanding that in 1894 they reduce wafer
rates
Attorney Herrin called on Chief Clerk Booker
and asked HIM if the rates of 1898 had not been
a reduction. Booker replied that the ra es re-
duced the c0mpany's revenue about $40, 900 a
year.
Supervisor James asked Attorney Herrin II
the cOmpany could give promise TO supply TIT
people of Holly Park and Clarendon Heights
with water.

A NOVEL BeT.
4 Washington Correspondents Ruse That
 Bore Unexpected Fruit.


 There will probably be a surfeit of election stories, but here is one that is too good to be missed The day that Secretary Carlisle decided to release Morton eoachman, John Shriyer, cor respondent of the Cincinnati Times Star, was over in the treasury building talking with Van Senden, Carlisle's private secretary. They mixed their conversation up with politics, and final ly Johnny said. 'I'll bet you five that Howard will driyo Morton up to the statehouso to be inaugurated as suc- cessor to Flower Van Sonden covered the bet, and two crisp S5 bills were put in the hands of lSs J. Wynne,
 After retiring from tho secretary's room Wynne said; Johnny, what did you make bet of that kind for? He has got two chances at you. If Howard is sont back, you lose, or if Hill is elect cd you lose "
 ''0h, that is all right. J responded Shriver T only bet him to find out what Carlisle had decided to do. They have decided to deport him, or Van would not have made tho bet. Til go right over and send it. :"
 Shriver was about to rush for the telegraph office with his exclusive news when Wynne suggested that it would be just as well 10 ask Immigration Com missioner Stump about it, and there they found that he was preparing tele- gram, to be signed by Secretary Carlisle, ordering the release of Howard It seems that Van Senden had not been taken into the confidence of the secre. tary upon a recent decision, and it was on the cards to deport Howard when he had last been informed. Now itremains to be seen whether Howard will really perform this duty, upon which shriver has rislyed his money, when Governor Morton rides up to be inaugurated. 1t is claimed that influence will be brought to bear which will enable the versatile Shriver to win his novel wager. Wynne says he will hold tho stakes until after the governor is inaugurated. " Washing ton Star

HER BONES ARE BREAKING.
Miss Sarah Scott of Fall River Is Suffer
 ing From Singular Disease.


 ing From Singular Disease.
 Five years ago Miss Sarah Scott of Fall River was budding into woman hood that promised an exceptional ex- ample of feminine beauty. Today she is bedridden invalid in whom every physician in New England is taking all interest. She is suffering from osteo- malacia, rare disease of the bones.
 Her parents were both healthy, and they have another daughter who enjoys beautiful face and a splendid physique. About IS months ago Miss Scott com plained of a peculiar soreness in her left thigh While about to step on train her thigh bone shipped at the sore spot, and she was carried into hospital
 The manner of tho breaking was Sc simple that the examining physician's curiosity was at once aroused. After some of the most expert men had look ed into the details it was decided that amputatien was necessary to prolong the girls life. Her nerves were in 8 shattered condition. but the amputatien was successful. It was noted at the time that the bone was of very unusual composition, but no such results as have followed were expected.
 After the wound had been dressed and while she was being turned ill a hospital bed the doctors and nurses were astounded by the breaking of a bone ill her right thigh almost in the exact spot where amputation had been performed on the other leg.
 The fracture was treated immediate ly, and for eight months the girl re- mained at the institution under the earo of physicians who studied the case anx- iously Then the broken limb healed, and the girl was taken home. Her gen. eral health did not improve, and she be- came great care to her relatives. One of the surgeons at Boston hospital, who knew of her case, settled in Fall River some. months ago and made a close study of the disease as it developed.
 Not many weeks ago, while the girl was resting her foot on the floor trying it's strength without the support of erutehes, the right thigh bone again snapped about where it was previously broken. That necessitated total con finement to her bed A few weeks later sho was trying to chew small piece of meat when her left jawbone broke.
 This caused noticeable swelling, and her pretty features now look dis torted. Two weeks ago she was trying to fix a pillow under her head, using her left arm to push it into place. She hadn't reached her hand to the back of her head before the bones of the arm just at the shoulder joint seemingly fell apart.
 She now lies on her back nursing q broken right leg, broken jaw and a broken shoulder joint Her left leg is gone, as stated. New York World.
