A Connecticut genius has invented
trotting sulky so arranged that "the
weight of the driver becomes propel-

doomed beast.
This invention, however, will have
results reaching far beyond trotting
suikies If driver, by sitting little
behind the wheels of his attenuated
vehicle, can give it a forward impulse
without decreasing his own altitude,
there is no reason why captain, re.
enforced by a crew sufficiently large,

now existing sources of power should
not be abandoned in favor of weight,

HISTORIC DEED IN DISPUTE.
The State of Delaware Claims a Document
After One Hundred and Twenty Years.


After One Hundred and Twenty Years.
An old historical document, tho deed
given by the Duke Of York to William
Penn for tract of land on the Della
ware at New Castle, is the bone of con-
tention between the state of Delaware
and J. Henry Rogers of New Castle,
Pa.
The state of Delaware has been ad.
vised that the document rightfully be-
longs to it, while Mr.. Rogers claims it
as his property because his ancestors
rescued it from British soldiers nearly
a century and a quarter ago and have
treasured it ever since. 1t has been
handed down from generation to gener-
alton, and their right has never been
challenged until recently. The coveted
parchment is now in the hands of S. V.
Henkels of this city, and it is stated that
he will hold fast to it until some settle
ment is made of the matter. There is
talk of big damage claims running up
to 81, 900, 900 if the state Of Delaware
insists upon taking the deed by force Of
law.
The deed is for tract of land on the
Delaware, confined in circle - miles
in diameter, with the center at the town
of New Castle. Attorney General John
R. Nicholson of Delaware has already
taken legal steps to secure this histor
ical document. Philadelphia Press.

THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY.
The Westward Half Of tho New Survey Has
just Been Completed.

just Been Completed.
Since July. 1892, the international
boundary commission, with staff of
80 engineers, soldiers and laborers, has
been engaged in resurveying the bound:
ary line between the United States
and Mexico from Ell Paso, Tex, to San
Diego, Cal The work is practically
finished, and a corps of craftsmen is
now busy at the government building
in San Diego completing the final and
summary maps, profiles and details Of
the labors of the commission. The sur
vey has covered more than 700 miles.
The commission has rebuilt the 81
early boundary monuments and set up
296 more at an expense Of about $780,.
900. The new monuments consist of an
iron shaft, bearing the letters ~. S. !"
on the north side and the word 'Mexi
cana" on the south side.
A few weeks ago another commission,
known as the international boundary
(water) commission, started upon the
work of resurveying the boundary line
between Mexico and the United States
along the Rio Grande from Ell Paso east
to the gulf of Mexico. 1t will probably
not finish it's labors for three years. It
will set up chain of monuments similar
to those erected from FL Paso westward.

back to his earliest childhood, account

He was born in Tennessee and was
rickety from infancy. His wife and son
were found and recognized him with.
out hesitation. In short, the meshes
were woven about him so closely that
there seemed to be no possibility of
escape.
But the other side was equally strong.
The alleged Newly was recognized with
as great positiveness by his supposed
wife and mother. Many of the best citi-
zens of Carmi and it's vicinity were en-
tirely satisfied of his identity, includ-
ing men prominent in the G. A. R.
The case came up for trial. The pro-
ceedings occupied II days. The defense
used 200 witnesses, the government
about 60.
There was almost riot in and about
the courtroom. Attempts were made to
intimidate the jurors. Nevertheless
Newly, or Rickety Dan, was found
guilty of perjury and of making false
claim for pension.
Motion for new trial being over
ruled, an appeal was made to the su~
preme court of the United States. This
was dismissed on technical grounds
Again on a writ of error the case was
taken to the supreme court, only to be

A ROMANTIC STORY.
An Estranged Pair Reunited Through .
Newspaper Item.

Newspaper Item.
Here is story that is the aftermath
of romance and the prologue of we'd
ding. 1t occurred recently in a Cincin-
natl store:
A handsome blond gentleman walked
from the elevator at the third floor, evil
IDENTIFY in state of expectant perturba.
tion, and after hurried glance about
the room walked hastily toward pretty
black haired saleswoman. The young
lady, hearing his approach, turned half
around to wait on prospective Gus
toner. The gentleman grabbed the lady
before she had turned completely
around, and drawing her close to him
planted kiss upon her rosy lips. Clerks
and customers looked on askance until
an explanation was made.
Mrs. Ella Gruenpeier was the sales
woman, and the man who embraced her
was Mr.. Charles Gruenmeier, her ex-
husband. Four years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Gruenmeier occupied a handsome home
on East Fairfield avenue, Dayton, Ky
They had been married two years, and
pretty little girl was the fruit Of their
union. He began to indulge in mild dis.
sipation and lost his position. Strained
relations between husband and wife fol.
lowed, and they finally separated.
For three years Mrs. Gruenmeier
heard nothing of her husband. She
sought and obtained decree Of divorce
upon the grounds of desertion and fail
ure to provide.
Their little daughter became danger
ously i'll Of typhoid fever, and she pub.
lished the fact in newspaper. This
was noticed by the father at his new
home in Chicago, and he wrote to his
former wife as to the condition Of the
little one. This led to correspondence
between the separated ones, and learn.
ing that Mrs. Gruenmeier had secured
a divorce Gruenmeier went to her. The
scene described above resulted. Mrs.
Gruenmeier took her daughter to see
her father, and for the first time in four
years the little family was reunited.
He returns to the Windy City to wind
up his business affairs, after which he
will remarry his wife.
