ZELLA q E GOULD.
The N~icOlaus WOman Wants George
to Pay $5O,OOO Damages.

NEW YORK, April 27.-The World to-
morrow will say: Mrs. Rosa leila Ruiz
man. better known as leila Nieolaus,
whose ENHANCEMENT with the Gould fam
lily gave her widespread notoriety, has
brought suit in the Hudson county court
at Jersey City against George Gould for
5000 damages. Counsellor Simpson has
the case In charge, and bases his action on
malicious persecution. The papers are
made ~returnable in thirty days. Notice of
the suit was served on Mr.. Gould by a
constable as the millionaire alighted from
a Bound Brook express train at the Com
munipaw station of the Jersey Central
railroad Friday.
Mrs. Ruhman said to-day: my suit is
really based on Mr.. GouId's refusal to pay
me the balance of a check for $4,000. Mr..
Gould, through my counsel. Howe & Hum
mel, settled my former case against him
by giving me a check for $4,000. The
check was dated in advance and a GER
tificate check for 5000 was given me as
earnest money. The latter check was paid.
The $40, coo check was refused, and / have
no redress but to bring suit. That my
claim against Mr.. Gould is just is evil
denced by the readiness with which he
gave me a check for such a large amount.
/ am determined now to bring the matter
to the attention of the courts. / am con-
tent to leave it with a jury of twelve good
men,

and France Against Japan Due
Wholly to the Kaiser.

BERLIN, April 27.-The curious spectacle
OF Germany arm in arm politically with
France and Russia, in respect to the far
East, has completely taken the Germans
aback. Germany has never been in such
a position since before the war Of 1870. Ac-
cording to trustworthy information, the
Emperor, himself, is responsible for this
turn of events, and it must be adr tied
that he has made a score in the game of
politics, in view of the fact that France is
acting in concert with Germany against
the national inclination, which is amply
shown in the comments of the French
newspapers, in which dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed at the French government enter
ing into a combination with Germany. The
important part which the Emperor took
in bringing about this situation is quite
equal to his previous exploits in autocratic
lines. Up to the middle of last week Ger
many's policy was non-intervention in the
affairs of the far East, unless her interests
were directly concerned, and an official
statement at the end of last week was, in
effect, that Germany would not interfere
with the terms of peace imposed. A sud-
den change, however. then occurred, for
as a result of the interchange of tele-
grams between the Car and Emperor Will
liam, through the intermediary of the Rus
sian charge d'affaires, at Berlin, his Males
ty took the reins into his own hands and
in view of certain expressions and half
implied promises made by the Car, d.
rected a change in diplomatic action IN
consonance with the views of Russia. The
Chancellor. Prince Hohenlohe, was then
away from Berlin, visiting his estate at
Schiilingsfurst, and neither his advice nor
that of Won Bieberstein, the Imperial Sec
rotary of State for Foreign Affairs, was
sought or given. Prince Hohelohe, in fact,
did not return to Berlin until last Wednes-
day, and in the Hobbies of the Reichstag,
on Tuesday. it was rumored that his posi-
tion was shaken and Count Won Eulen-
burg would probably replace him. The
to devote himself steadily to his functions
as previously. Nevertheless, the rumor of
his resignation is erroneous or at any rate
premature.

serious misdemeanors, was resumed at the
Old Bailey Court to-day, with a large at
tendance. Alfred Wood was examined and
was then cross-examined by Sir Edward
Clarke, 9. c., counsel for Wilde. but his
evidence was not shaken. Frederick At
kins. described as a variety singer,
gave evidences as TO knowing Alfred Tay-
lor and others mentioned during the trial.
This witness was also questioned by coun-
sci with the view of showing that he re-
ceived $500 from a foreign count. whose
yacht was lying at Scarborough, but the
witness denied having received the money.
After Atkins had repeated his previous
testimony concerning his intimacy with
Wilde, and told how he accompanied him
to Paris as his secretary. Sir Edward
Clarke severely cross-examined him, en-
deavoring to show that Atkins was a pro-
fessionaf blackmailer. and that he had
~biackmailed gentlemen at Nice. and various
other places. During the cross-examination
Sir Edward Clarke asked. did you. two
years ago, extort a large sum OF money
from two Americans who were staying at
the Hotel Victoria ?" Atkins, In reply, said
he had not bIackmailed the two Americans.

high official in the north is authority for
the statement that England will support
Japan, who will refuse to listen to the re-

the terms Of the treaty of peace with

Chinese territory. A dispatch received from
a private source in Japan to-day says that
the condition of affairs between Russia and
japan Is beginning to look very serious
Inquiries made in official circles here to-
day in regard to the Shanghai dispatch
would seem to show that Great Britain
does not favor the annexation by Japan of
the Liao-Tung peninsula, but that she did
not see her way to join at this j~uncture in
the demand of the other powers.
1t was reported on the Paris bourse to-day
that Japan has agreed to revise the terms
of the treaty of peace with China as desired
by the intervening powers.

Connecticut had conceedeu Inc Jurls'
diction of her western territory the
right of soil obtained under her
charter and by Indian purchases
were still contended.
These rights had been Cancelled
by act of Assembly passed March
28th 1887 to all who had been actual
settlers prior to the time Of Pennsyl-
vania assuming jurisdiction in 1883,
and II townships in Luzerne county
obtained the benefits of this legisla-
ton. This consession Encouraged
others holding Connecticut titles in
the belief that further concessions
would be made and strong politi>
cal organization was constantly en~
gagged in forwarding this undertak>
ing. The business to their claim to
the right Of soil to all the lands un-
der their charter was defended by
many of the best lawyers of the State
and so far conceded by their oppo-
nants as to indirectly secure their
title when valuable property was in
issue. Franklin was q power of
strength in his position as a member
Of the State Legislature, and being
backed by uuited constituency in
Luzerne he continued from year to
year to be constant annoyance to
the Pennsylvania land jobbers and
every effort that they could put forth
was used to get rid of him, failing
in their efforts otherwise. A move
was made to divide the county of
Luzerne, setting off that part which
contained the residence of Col
Franklin, to Lycoming. Their
movements although we'll understood
were not opposed by Franklin, and
on the 3D. day Of April 1904 the
northwestern corner Of Luzerne
was attached TO Lycoming, and to
the surprise Of Franklin's opponents,
Lycoming sent him to the Legisla-
tion in 1906. p the boundary
lines described i le act it is found
that the dism bered part very
nearly corresp As with part of Lu-
zerne include. IN the Indian treaty
of 1884 The difference being that
instead OF following the west branch
of the Towanda creek from it's mouth
to it's source, the lines passes very
nearly the divide between Towanda
and Sugar creeks, and takes small
portion of land on the east side of
the river. The old township of
Canton remained IA part of Luzerne,
and Burnett Ridge was the dividing
line between Luzerne and Lycoming
from 1895 until the organization of
Brad ford in 1910. From the termi-
nus of this ridge a distance of 33
miles the line of Lycoming took it's
sonthward course until it came with
in the range Of the Muncy Hills, in
stead of at the state line. This corr
rection is thought proper to make as
it has an important relation to our
county history.
