Westminster, Md, May 23.-Prob-
ably the first breach of promise of MARI
riage case in the State of Maryland in

good standing, the plaintiff being Mr..
D. Calvin Warner, of Double Pipe
Creek, a justice of the peace, and the
defendants, Mr.. William H. Powell and
Mrs. Emma S. Powell. Mrs. Powell
was Miss Emma S. Weybright, daugh-
ter of the late John Weybright. She is
about 20 years old. She inherited an
estate from her father valued at Sl5,-
600. The plaintiff is a widOwer, up
wards of 80 years Of age. He AYERS
that the defendant, Mrs. Powell, was
under contract to marry him, but brokS
the engament about January, 1894, and
in the following April married Mr..
Powell
The defendants plead, in justiflca-
ton, that after her engagement to the
plaintiff, she discovered certain facts
in relation to his life and conduct pre-
viously unknown to her, which justi-
fed her refusal to consummate the
marriage

The intelligence that there is move
on foot at the Houston Confederate re-

dency on the free silver ticket, may or
may not be true. For the credit Of
General Schofield it is to be hoped that
the rumor is not true. 1t will be re-
sented at once IS impertinent, dishon-
orlng and impious traficing with a
sacred cause, if this first movement to
gather Confederates in a great national
non-political organization is debased
into a sordid scheme to boom any man
for a political Office.
If Speaker Crisp and his Georgia free
silver combine have used this gathering
of ex-Confederates for any such pur-
pose. they will hear a roar OF indigna-
ton that will suggest that rebel yell
which told of determination to resist
to the uttermOst They Will learn that
Confederates Of the South are not ready
to give their organization the low plane
of a body of political candidate BOOM
ers. The South does, and rightly, es-
teen General Sch0feld. He was a
chivalrous and honorable foe. But If
he allows himself to be used this way.
he will fall from the high place he noGl
occupies in Southern estimation.

Atlanta, Ca, May 23.-A special rep
resentative Of the Journal sent to HOus-
ton to report the Confederate reunion
wires the Journal that the visit Of Gen,
Schofeld has developed a political sem
sation.
1t is stated in Houston that General
Schofeld will be a candidate for Pres
ident. and that his visit first to the
military encampment at Memphis and
then his going to the Confederate re-
union at Houston is all in the interests
of his candidacy. Generals Wheeler
and Joe Johnston, free silver leaders in
Alabama, are said to have planned this
affair. 1t is said to be a scheme to cap
ture the soldiers vote, and to result in
General Schofelds nomination on a
free silver ticket.
All this is denied by General Scho-
field. but the talk in Houston has be
come so open and general that there
appears to be much foundation for the
report.
1t is now believed that Speaker Crisp
referred to General Schotield when he
alluded TO a Western man with war
record"

DIGEST OF DECISIONS

Furnished by w. ID. Harlan, Land and
Mining Attorney, Washington, 4. G.
The sale Of agricultural land shortly
after making proof end the issuance of
final certificate does not warrant a pre-
sumption of bad faith.
The issuance of a placer patent, on a
record which shows that there is no
known lode or vein within the placer
claim, precludes the subsequent allow
ance of a lode entry within said limits
while said patent is outstanding. The
right OF a co-owner should be assorted as
an adverse claimant. The actual use of
land for mining or milling purposes con-
templated by section 1887, r. S.
No vested rights are secured through
filing a doclaratory statement, and a sale
OF coal land thereafter by the claimant
prior to final proof and entry defeats his
rights to purchase said land, and an en-
try thereof made in his name must be
Cancelled.
