How Detroit Man Secured Possession
of Dead Hermit's Estate.

DETROIT. Mich. Sept. 13.-What is re-
garded as a singular event in connection
with the death of Charles B. Chauvin, the
wealthy Crosse Pointe hermit who was
murdered last Sunday, transpired to-day,
when deed was placed upon record con-
veying a half interest in the Chauvin real
estate from William Trombley to John II
Seitz. Of this city. The property is worth
probably s125,000 and the stated considera-
ton is $1,000. Trombley is a nephew of the
deceased, and one OF the two natural heirs,
there being no will in sight The story Is
that four years ago Trombley, who was
then a waiter in a New York hotel, anc Is
still residing there, was anxious to borrow
some money. and. meeting Seitz. who is
something of a speculator, in New York,
Ii was arranged that Seitz should pay
Trombley stipulated sum per year in re-
turn for which Trombley executed to Seitz
the deed which filed to-day, and which
by tie terms of their agreement became
valid upon the death of MIR. Chauvin. 1t Is
stated that SeitZ carried out his part of
the bargain up to the present year, but
that the later payments have not been
made. Mr.. Seitz has gone to New York,
but his son said this afternoon that the
transaction was a legitimate speculation;
that the real consideration exceeded $1,000
and claims that little wouIu have been
thought Of the matter had it not been for
Chauvin's murder.

BIG INSURANCE DEAL.
Suit Involving Millions Decided in
Favor of the Illinois Central.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 13-April 4, 1892,
a fire originated in the fire-proof cotton
press here and extended to four other
presses, becoming the most extensive and
disastrous cotton confagration ever known
here, the losses amounting to several mil
lions of dollars, and cotton factors, planters
and insurance companies were heavily in
volved. S. Gumbal & Co., a wealthy cot
ton firm, were heavy losers by the fire.
They sued the Illinois Central Railroad
Company for upward of half million dol
lars, basing the suit upon a claim that the
fire originated from sparks thrown by a
switching engine of that company passing
over the belt road in proximity to the press
where the fire originated. The case was
argued at length and submitted last Feb
ruary, the company being ably represented
by its local attorneys, Messrs. Farrar,
Leake and Lemle while the claimants had
as counsel some of the ablest Southern
lawyers. To-day Judge Theard, of the
Civil District Court, delivered an oral opln-
ion in favor of the Illinois Central, basing
Ii upon the fact that the burden of proof
rested with the plaintiffs, who had failed to
establish their case by showing that the
fire really did originate as charged by them.

Grand Chancellor Blackwell, OF the order
of knights of Pythias, was roundly scored
at a meeting of Knights held in Milwau-
kee tonight. The session was held behind

senting every lodge in the city to meet
tonight to take action on Chancellor
Blackwell's strong language said to have
been used in denouncing the use of rituals
printed in German in Pythian lodges
Franklin, Columbus, Wagner. juneau and
Damon lodges were represented Several
speakers declared that the grand chancel-
Ior had insulted every German in the or
der when he said they were not good
Americans If they favored the use Of a
ritual in their native language. Others ad-
vised further investigation before any
action was taken. OF the fourteen lodges
IN the city seven have at some time in the
past used the German language, but none
of them do so now.

Chicago's Elevated Railway Claims that
1t Is Not q Common Carrier.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-The Lake-street ele-
waited railroad, in refusing to file with the
State officials a statement of the amount
of its property, has raised the point that
it is not operating a railroad line. and is
consequently exempt from various assess
ments. State Auditor Gore contests the
point and extended litigation, IL is thought,
Is likely to result. The company claims
that it is not a common carrier, and that
Ii operates under the principles of street
railway. Railroads are compelled 10 file
the statement, while street railways are
not and on this ground the l. company
bases its refusal. A large amount of taxes
is involved in the dispute, and the disposi-
ton of the case is important to elevated
roads all over the country.

that Morse's speech the floor of the

brought out the statement from Mr. Morse
that he had no knowledge of Mrs. Cougar

CLOSE OF THE ENCAMPMENT.
Election Of Officers and Adoption of
Revolutions.


PITTSRITRG. Sept. 13.-Business and ac-
tivity characterized the lobby of the new
Grand Opera House at an early hour, and
long before the second days session of
the Grand Army convention opened there
was a crowd of lobbyists at work in favor
of their several candidates for office.
The feature of the encampment and the
hottest and closest contest ever known in
the Grand Army was the fight for the
position of Commander-in-chief. The con-
testants were Col. Thomas G. Lawler, of
Rockford, ILL., and /. n. Walker, OF Indi-
annapolis. Electioneering of most vfgor-
Gus character had been going on all week,
and la st night and this morning the friends
of both candidates claimed victory by
good margin. The closeness of the result
was a surprise to both victor and defeated.
1t took forty-five minutes to cast and
count the ballots of the delegates. Then
Commander Adams announced that the
vote stood: Lawler, $50; Walker, 319, the
Illinois man winning by the narrow margin
of eleven votes. AS soon as the election
announced peals of applause rang
through the opera house When some
semblance OF quiet was restored Colonel
Walker withdrew his name and the election
Of Colonel Lawler was made unanimous.
In a brief speech the new Commander-in-
chief thanked his supporters, and said he
would work to the utmost for the advance
ment Of that grand organization-the G.
