We're entitled to $375,000 damages, on
the ground of fraud. In the boom days
of 1892, Stratton, ex-Gov. Proctor
Knott and others, represented that the
Monarch Coal and Coke company own
ed $4,000 acres of coal lands in Pike
county, Kentucky, when 1t didn't own
any On these representations the Mer-
ritts bought three-fourths of the COM
pany's stock, giving their notes for
$45O,OOO. Later they paid up $140 900 of
these notes and the balance are out
standing. The judgment wipes out a
goodly part of this Indebtedness.

ed warrant for grand larceny against
Stratton. which was sworn out several
days ago, was put in the hands of De-

Il have pulled the English stroke for
twenty years 1t differs from the Ameri-
can stroke by being longer and recovering
more smartly. 1t has more body -and-leg
movement and takes the hands away from
the chest more rapidly than does the

The American stroke is more armwork and

BALTIMORE. Md. November IL. 1885,
Despite the bleak weather and heavy

are brave as well as fair, were as much

Spring Valley Hunt and ridden by Mr. Sam
Nicholas of the same organization.
There was ripple of excitement before
the race, when 1t became generally known
that De Garnette had changed hands since
the steeplechase Tuesday, Mr. Birckhead
having purchased him from Mr.. ]. w. Colt
Of New York. Mr.. Ernest Hayes, who got
second place in that event on De Garnette
by nose from Caress, with Mr.. Nicholas
up. had been target for what has proved
to be rather unjust criticism touching his
riding on that occasion. The fact of the
matter is, the complaints were carefully
weighed and investigated by the stewards
this morning who are the representatives
Of the National Hunt Association, and de-
clsion was reached which indicated Mr.
Hayes.
When the odds were chalked up the
surprise of the betters was amusing as
they read that Hayes would ride Caress
and Nicholas De Garnette. 1t was a puz-
zler to the speculator as well as the OBJ
server. This, Of course, deepened the in

that the Venezuelan government is dis
posed to settle the question on the lines
indicated in the agreement between the
United States and Great Britain without
haggling over minor points.
The agreement that title shall be de-
termined on the occupancy of territory for
fifty years Is regarded by prominent Eene-
zuelans as happy solution of the ques-
ton Some demagogues may oppose 1t. but
the people at large will offer no opposition
to this basis of settlement.
Minister Andrade, who represents Vene-
zuela at Washington. has communicated
the details of the agreement to his govern
ment and asked President Crespo's cabinet
whether 1T will agree to the settlement on
the basis Of occupancy for fifty years.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Rojas is un-
usually reticent in regard to the affair. but
1t is believed the government is well pleased
with the prospect of an early settlement
of the boundary dispute.
King Oscar willing to Act.
An Associated Press cable dispatch from
Stockholm, Sweden, says that an Associat-
ed Press correspondent sought at the
palace yesterday ain expression of opinion
from his majesty regarding the peaceful
settlement arrived at between the United
States and Great Britain, and as to his
majesty's Willingness to act as the fifth
member of the court Of arbitration.
The correspondent was received with the
greatest courtesy and his questions were
taken to the king, who sent the following
message in reply:
THE king not having received an official
communication regarding the arbitration.
he is unable at present to make state
ment on the subject"
1t was explained that while the king has
expressed to the Swedish minister at
Washington his willingness to act as arbi-
traitor as proposed, he must receive a
formal official notice of his appointment
before he can give his formal consent. al
though there Is no doubt that he will agree
to act.
