THE TITLE SETTLED.
A Lawyers Experience in the Noun
tains of Kentucky.

One of Washington's lawyers used
to practice in Kentucky, and tells
good stories Of his experiences in the
mountains of that state.
II went to recover tract of land
in Bell county" he said, land was
met at the door of the cabin on the
place by the man against whom 1
was instructed by my client, "a widow,
who held the claim through her de-
ceased husband, to proceed. I &C
Icosted him, and explained the nature
of my visit, being anxious to settle
the matter peaceably If possible.
Stranger, he said slowly, as he
looked into the open fireplace medi-
tatively, this hyar pears to be kin
o bad business. I'm a peaceable
man an don't want no trouble with
nobody. Dad fust cum hyar when l
war boy, an thar seemed to be a
heap of trouble bout the title. Fust
an last, reckon thar war ten killed.
Then we didn' hyar no more bout
the title till dad war dead, when a
fellar cum long an thar war mo-
trouble. He's buried jess beyant
that thar poplar.
Then two var ago another cum
at me, an his wilder, it seems, don't
want ter drap it, an hired yo' as a
lawyer. I'm a peaceable man,
stranger, an don want no trouble,
but it seems to me this hyar title
orter be settled by this time, cause
I hain't got no time goin ter cou't
bout it. Thar amt but one way ter
settle it. I don like ter hev no fout
with woman, but l reckon I'll hev
to, lessen yo' air willin' ter settle it
with me right hyar.'
II excused myself from that mode
of settling it, and upon reporting to
my client, she refused to allow suit
to be brought, so the mans title can
be regarded as settled. Washing

When the case of George Sheridan and
David Rodgers. the alleged crooks, ar
rested at the Capitol last week, was called
in the Police Court today, only one of the
defendants, Sheridan, responded and the
absence of Rodgers who had been released
by the police, provoked a heated discussion.
during which Judge Miller paid his re-
spects to the police department.
Judge Miller listened to Precinct Detec-

that there was no earthly excuse for what
had been done.

The officer explained that the charge had
been nolle pressed at his request before
the man was released, and this action was
taken because of the request from head

LOOKING FOR POISON.
Inquest Today In the Case of the
Holden Woman.

The inquest in the case of Estelle Holden
or Chisley, whose death in the Division"
occurred a week ago last Sunday, was re-
sumed at the sixth precinct station this
afternoon. This is the case in which the
woman died Under alleged suspicious cir
cumstances, and poisoning was suspected.
Prof. HiTd, chemist in the health depart
ment, has made an analysis of the con-
tents of the stomach, and upon his evidence
will hinge the question of whether or not
the woman was murdered. Deputy Coroner
Glazebrook made an autopsy the day after
the woman's death was reported, but he
found that a chemical analysis was neces-
sary to determine the question of poison
ing.
Detectives Carter and Gallaher, who have
worked the case, have charge of the
police and of the inquest. Although none
of the officials would state in advance Of
the giving Of the evidence whether or not
any poison was found, 1t Is certain that
Professor Hird found poison when he made
the analysis Of tbs contents Of the woman'S
stomach. This makes 1t apparent to the
coroner and officers that the woman was
murdered
There IL an Important witness In the case
who says shs saw Charles Holden. the wo-
mans husband o. lover. give her the sup
posed fatal dose. anc her evidence may
have considerable bearing On the Gaze. But
the officers are unable 20 and q motive for
tbs deed If Holden really administered the
poison. The man and women We're or ths
best terms Imaginable, and she virtually
supported him, 40 II Is said. In addition
to the evidence of tho woman mentioned
and that OF Prof EiYc several othef wit
nesses will be examined.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST
Secretary Of State 0lney Talked Plainly to
the Spanish Minister.
The Method of DeDorting American
Citizens From Cuba Characterized
AS Lacking I'm Humanity.

In the diplomatic correspondence for 1895
just published. there is interesting COM
munication from Secretary Olney to Senior
De LONE the Spanish minister. in regard to
the treatment of American citizens arrest
ed in Cuba for supposed completely with
the insurgents. In one Of these, referring
particularly to the case Of certain Ameri-
cans, who had been ordered to report to
Consul General Williams for deportation
from Cuba by order Of Captain General
Campos. Secretary Olney used the following
vigorous language:
THE department is unable to compre-
bend that part of the order of the gov
ernor general which appears to require four
citizens of the United States to report to
the consul general of the United States at
Havana for deportation from the island.
The proceeding is harsh in this regard, that
two of the dcported persons, Joseph II.
Ansley and John A. Sewers, are said to
have been men of families. and, being In
impoverished circumstances, to have been
compelled to leave their wives and chill
dren t.ehind them without resources The
governor generals order, as interpreted by
the military commandant OF Sagua, ap-
pears to have required these individuals to
remove from Sagua to Havana at their
own expense, and thereafter to lind for
themselves the means of reaching the
United States
their destitute circumstances the military
commandant Of Sagua offered to furnish
transportation to Havana; but 1t does not
appear that the government OF the island
thereafter interviewed in any way to enable
these unfortunate men to obey the arbi-
trary mandate of expulsion
The right of Spain, of every other
sovereign state. to expel aliens need not be
discussed. If the right be conceded to the
fullest extent the mode of Its exercise may
be so harsh. unreasonable and oppressive
as to give just ground of complaint, and
was beyond all doubt in the four cases
now under consideration. Whether there
be regard to the arbitrary character of the
decree Of deportation, to the successive
steps by which it was apparently proposed
to be enforced, to the separation of hus-
band and wife from dependent families or
to the constrained abandonment of the lat
ter In destitute circumstances to the mer-
cies of strangers, the proceedings at every
stage and in every particular seem to have
been characterized by willful disregard not
merely of the rights of American citizens,
but of the dictates of common humanity.
This government cannot be expected to
look upon such proceedings except with in
diSnation. nor to pass them over without
remonstrance. 1t takes this occasion, there
fore. to make known its sentiments in the
matter, and gives notice that 1t will dema nd
adequate redress for the indignity and in
justice inflicted on Sewers and Ansley, and
that it will expect such precautionary
measures to be taken by the Spanish gov
eminent for the future as will prevent any
like treatment of other American citizens =
