The Late Archibald Bull.

In q conversation with DR.. Leavens,
who has resided In the vicinity Of the
Locks since ls5s,we learn that he became
acquainted with Mr.. Bull. who was found
dead IN the cellar Of his house which
was burned Thursday night. In the winter
of lS6l-o2. In the early part Of that year
he came 10 DR.. Leavens' place and passed
the winter with him. The doctor was
then living where WGrreudale is now lo-
Gated, and communication east and west
was closed by ice in the river. Provisions
became scarce, and Mr.. Bull subsisted
during the winter on shorts. DIR Loav-
ems speaks in complimentary terms Of the
old gentleman, and says that he always
found him honorable in all transactions.
Mr.. Bull was about So years OF age and
had resided near Stevenson for over
thirty years. He came from Indiana TO
Washington, ana in 1862 settled on the
farm which was the scene Of his death.

In New York narbor.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11-Nei,her the
Dania nor La Normandie, which arrived
here this morning, nor the Dutch steamer
Haasdam from Rotterdam, saw the over
due La Gascoyns. Manager French. OF
the Transatlantic Snip Company, says
the fact that the NOrmandie had not seen
La Gascogne need not Increase anxiety for
the safety of the latter vessel. After 80
long a de'ay. he hardly expects to hear OF
La Gdscogns in any port of the Unlted
States. II she Is disabled and proceeding
under sail she would not be in the course
of the ordinary Harve line, and it is
probable that the first news from her will
be received from the Bermudas.
The agent hopes that one of the steam
ships due from Gihralter today may bring
news of La Gaseogns. The steamers
are the Aisntia. Valencia, Stossoold, Bo-
liUia and Lettmro
C.b'.grams received from the Azores
and Bermuds this afternoon state that
La Gascogne has not Deen heard from.
A dispatch from Fire island at p. N.
stated that La Gdseogne had not yet been
sighted at that point. At $3.50. Sandy
Hook reported that the only vessel IN
sight was the Oibers. from Rio de Jsneiro.
W ich has been delayed outside waiting
for pilot.

To Property Owners.
THE DA1LRs, Feb. 10. 1895:

Editor TINES -MouSfAIyRER:
l desire to call attention to the fact that
a considerable amount of real estate, both
city and country, is not on record In the
names OF the present owners.
Hills Code, page 1854, section s027
provides that "every conveyance of real
property within the state hereafter made
which shall not be recorded as provided
in this title within FIVE days thereafter
shall be void against any subsequent pur-
chaser in good faith ana for valuable
consideration of the same real property,
or any portion thereof, whose conveyance
shall be first duly recorded"
Now, since the county court has Or
dered record of present owners TO bs
made, 1t seems to me that aside from the
consideration of litigation and annoyance
which is likely TO arise, every owner
ought to have some interest in having his
property properly recorded and correctly
listed Of course everybody understands
that The primary object IN having pres
ent ownership record is to assist the as
SCISSOR IN making up the assessment roll
each year, and it goes without saying that
unless this record, shows present owners
ii will confuse, rather than assist him.
My contract requires me TO show the
volume and page where each persons
title is recorded together with the date
and consideration named in The convey
ance. Therefore all can do is to show
the last recorded deed TO each piece Of
although 1 may know from
other sources that 1t belongs to some
other person.
would, therefore, suggest that all per-
sons owning any real property In the
county, look carefully over their deeds
and make sure that all haye> been re-
corded as required by law. and thus IN
sure correct listing of II on the present
owner record which Is now being pre-
pared. J. NJ. HUNTINGTON.
