The Art Amateur.

The first reproduction of Mr.: Percy
lves's recent portrait of President
Cleveland is one of the many interest
ing features of the January issue of
The Art Amateur, and the article on
"Beardsleylsm" extravagances is per-
tinent and appropriate. The revived
taste in America for eighteenth century
paintings as indicating the beginnings
of reaction from realism forms the
subject of another valuable paper,
and "The Study of Human Express
sion" maintains the interest of former
installments. What may be called the
Educational section of the magazine is
very strong this month, and teachers
and parents will find much that will
prove instructive and helpful to them
in this department.. Painters Of ma
rine subjects, oil and water-color
painters and china-painters, will, as
usual find an ample supply of prac-
tlcally useful material in the shape of
hints, instructions, and working de-
signs, and the latter especially will re-
ioice in the possession of the beautiful
design in old Deft style, printed in
blue monochrome from a painting by
C. Volkmar, while there is a number
of dainty little pictures scattered up
and down which will be found most
suitable for the decoration of small
objects. The supplement of working
designs is full of the usual features
and the most popular colored supple
ment of the month is undoubtedly the
beautiful sunny landscape by the Bel
gian painter Veyrassant, entitled "The
Last Load" The magazine is really
q marvel both in the richness and
variety of its contents and the beauti-
full care and finish of its production.

DEADLY COAL GAS.
The Hallead Family Nearly
ASphyxiated.

The following article is clipped from
the Saginaw Evening News on Friday,
January 10, and relates to former Yale
residents:
DR.. Stewart was called in ut an early
hour this morning to resuscitate the
family of Moses Hallead at 623 Wads-
worth street, whose members were at
deaths door from the effects OF escap-
ing coal gas. Mr.. and Mrs. Hallead
reside in Blumfield township, but their
four daughters, the Misses Lizzie, MIN
ME, Lillian and Myrtle, son Herbert
and niece, Flony Deving, make their
nome in this city where the three eld-
est daughters are employed at VIM.
Barrie q Sons braid factory.
DR.. stewart says that when he arriv-
ed at the house he found three OF the
young women lying partially uncon-
scious upon the floor. Flony, girl of
l6, was in the most danger and was
still unconscious this afternoon. The
others were also in a pretty bad con-
dition, but the prompt remedies ap-
piled soon brought them out of danger,
although it was some time before any
of them could stand.
The youngest daughter and the son
were not as badly affected as the others,
their rooms being farther away from
the stove out of which the poisonous
fumes escaped, which was in the din
ing room. Herbert was the one who
notified the doctor, who arrived none
too soon, as trlfling delay would
probably have been fatal to some of
the inmates. Miss Lizzie Hallead is
forewoman Of the braid factory men,

DICK WINS
The Case of Cheney VS.. Cheney
and is Much Elated-An Inter-
esting Law Suit.


A very important law suit, involving
considerable property in the township
of Brockway, was tried in the Circuit
Court of this county last week The
circumstances in the case are, on the
10th of December, 1892, John Cheney,
an old and respected resident of Brock
way township, had W. w. Cowing, at
torney of this village, make two deeds
for him disposing of his homestead.
The west forty acres of land he decided
to his son Geo., of Port Huron, and the
east forty acres, containing the build
ings, to his son Richard. who Was then
at home with his father. At the time
the deeds were made the old gentle
man requested Mr.. Cowing to keep
the deeds for Richard and George and
to recover them when he died. Some
six months after the deeds were made
the old gentleman went to Port HUI
ron to visit his son George and for
some reason, while there, he made a
will disposng of this same property.
In the will he gave George the east
forty acres and divided the west forty
acres equally with his four daughters
and Richard.
The old gentleman died in Septem-
ber, 1893, and the will was probated
very soon afterwards. Richard did
not contest the will but he had the
deed, made by his father to him, re-
corded, and then brought ejectment to
recover possession, relying on the
validity of the deed made by his
father. Judge Vance submitted the
case to the jury before whom the case
was in progress last week. At three
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, Jan. 9th,
the Judge told the jury that if it was
the intent of the old gentleman
Cheney at the time he made the
deeds to Richard and George to con-
vey the title of the land to them,
and he delivered the deeds to Mr..
Cowing to hold for Richard. that the
title would from that time be in Rich
ard, and that it was not necessary for
the deed to be recorded in order to
pass the title to Richard. The jury
found that the deed to Richard was
made by his father for the purpose of
passing the title to Richard, and that
the old man then intended to give the
property to Richard and George.
Richard Cheney was represented by
Joseph Walsh and Lincoln Avery, and
George Cheney. who insisted on keep
ing Richards forty acres under the
will, instead of accepting the forty
acres his father had decided him at the
time he decided the east forty to Rich
ard, was represented by Judge Stevens
and John G. Graham.
Dick feels highly elated over his
success.
