Another Witness to the Fact that
They Are Suckers.
Buffalo Courier

Buffalo courier.
Ex-Governor HoaGly, of Ohio, was Tor,
merly pestered ty people who fancied
themselves heirs of Anneke JAMS, and who
wished him 10 take retainers to represent
their case. So he looked into the whole
matter and found that the case had been
settled for good and all in chancery as Tar
Sanford's Cnancery Reports it appears that
in the seventeenth century five or six OF
the heirs to the Jams estate made a deed or
the same TO New York through Governor
Lovelace. In 17C5 Lord Cornbury, tien Gov
ernor. granted TO Trinity sixty-two acres
OF this Anneke Jams Bogardus property.
and ''since that time, now 100 years, the
church has been In possession OF the lard.
The sixth heir. who refused to sign away
his rights. was one Cornelius Bogardus,
and shortly after the close OF the revolu-
ton one OF his heirs brought suit 10
cover title, claiming that the possession or
Trinity was the possession OF tenant in
common, and that therefore he nor
barred by the statute of limitations. Aaron
Burr fought the case for the church. and II
was bitter legal struggle Bogardus en-
deavored TO fence in portion OF the land
while the litigation was going on, and the
church members endeavored to stop him BY
force An adherent of Bogardus shot at
one of the church militant, and was sent
to Jail for it,
1t appears that the case last came into
the courts in 1880, wnen another descendant
OF Bogardus brought suit in chancery to
establish title. The suit dragged on for
seventeen years, and was finally decided in
favor of the Trinity corporation. the opin-
lon being given by Chancellor Sanford, in
whose reports the history OF the case oc-
ours. Since that tine there has never been
an appeal nor an attempt to renew the
fight. ANY lawyer who takes up the case
at the present time" says Ex-Governor
Hoadly. lis either al unmitiga.ed ass or a
shark who is trying to rob the descendants
OF old Cornelius Bogardus. Tie fact is. the
papers signed by the five heirs gave Trim
itv undisputed title, and the possession of
100 years of the remaining one-sixth wipes
out any claims any one ever held"
So IL seems that the heirs of Anneke
might as we'll give over their quest and
sail for the South Atlantic TO commit pira-
cy on the F1ying Dutcaman.

NOT A GOOD LoG-ROLLER.
One Reason Why John Bull Has No
EurOUeau Allies.

LONDON. Feb. 26.-Mr. G. ]. Goschen.
First Lord Of the Admiralty. speaking at
Lewes tonight, said that Cancellation, ne
gotiation and arbitration might be valuable,
but woe to the nation lacking courage or
means to back Its opinion by its own re-
sources. The new system of log-rolling
and bartering for alliances, he said had
displaced the old system Of balance of
power between European nations. England
was not clever at this game. he added, and
had held aloof. although her alliance was
courted by several groups of powers. Our
isolation, therefore" Mr.. Goschen contin-
ued. lis not one of weakness. but Of free
dom to act Independently. This mas caused
mlsunderstandings. But 1t might be hoped
that recent complications have shown our
neighbors that the national spirit is not
dead, and that on certain occasions We
might be combustible. Without betraying
secrets, l might say that a very distin-
guisned German statesman. not Prince Bis
marck, has been convinced for years that
England could not be moved to war by
anything short of an attack on her central
interests in this country. That was dan
gerous failacy. which has now probably
been diSlodged." He was able to say, Mr..
Goschen added, that our relations with the
German Emperor were now as cordial as
they could possibly be. He concluded with
reference to the necessity for a powerful
fleet.

THE SALVATION ARMY SPLIT.
1t Was Due to jealousy and Intr1gu-
ing Among Leaders.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
1t has been known for some time TO the
warm friends of the Booths, and salvation
developed, and the suspicion was that even
the Salvation Army leaders mad not over
come the weaknesses of human nature
sufficiently TO be free from jealousy and
ambition. The hope was, however, that
the trouble would blow over. No doubt
the real cause of the difficulty may be
traced to the influence, respect and popu-
larity which Mrs. Booth mas gained, not
only in the Salvation Army itself, but with
all workers in the cause OF morality and
religion in this city. Her husbands exec
utive ability has gained for him high re-
gard, but there was for Mrs. Booth, in ad-
diton to respect, genuine affection, which

WITH KNIFE IN HAND
REPRESENTATIVE PHELPS MADE A
RUSH FOR A FELLOw-MEMBER.
Row I'm the Kentucky Legislature
Nearly Resulted I'm a Fight.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 26.-An excit-
ing scene in the House this morning. at
tending the bringing up of the contested
election case Of Werner-Tompkins, made
the taking Of the thirty-first ballot for
Senator in the General Assembly very in
teresting There was a general hum when
the two houses came together that indi-
Gated much excitement. The doorkeeper
had hard work to keep persons from the
floor of the House who had no right to be
there. The Hobbies and galleries were
crowded with people who waited to see if
there would be another outbreak. The de-
cision of the House to take up for con-
sideration the Werner-Tompkins case on
Friday means that lively times may be
expected on that day. The call of the
roll showed 134 members present. neces-
sary to choice, 6S. There were only two
pairs. This was one Of the largest at
tendances of the session. Senator Clark
cast his vote for DR.. Hunter amid some
for Judge Holt. Hissom cast his vote for
Hon. j. w. Yerkes, while Humans, the
fourth of the Republicans who have left
DR.. Hunter, voted for John w. Lewis. DR..
Hunter lost another vote when Representa-
tive Chambers voted for Holt. There were
no assertions from Blackburn. This bal
lot resulted: Hunter, 81; Blackburn, g.;
Carlisle, 3; McCreary. 2; Yerkes, /; Holt,
3; Lewis, /; Bate, /.
A dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
The report of the committee in the Werner
Tompkins contested election case was made
special order for Friday at 10 O'Clock a. m.
The report in the Kaufman-Dunlap case will
come up tomorrow. When the committees
reported these contests to-day speeches were
made on both sides. Werner, DEM, favored
free debate. Howard, Rep. said if the
Democrats did not know all about this case
1t was because they had conspired to make
so much noise that the reports could not be
heard. Phelps, Dem. said if Howard in
cluded him in that remark he was saying
what was untrue. Swanfurth, Democratic
member of both committees on contests,
said that If he was referred to, the statement
was untrue as made by Howard. Thereupon
Howard said he was responsible for what
he said Then Phelps. with an open pocket
knife in his hand, made rush for Howard.
Swanfurth Joined in it. Great confusion fol-
lowed, everybody was their feet and
there were shouts of Untrue and the like

were unjuStifiable.

Genr the Participants.
Mr.. Hoar irrmediately arose to question
Mr.. Carter. The Massachusetts Senator
prefaced his question by referring TO his
long continued support of protection to
wool. even when the representative of
Western wool-growing States voted for free
wool. Mr.. Hoar took up the charge OF
Mr.. Carter that Eastern Republicans had
been false to the platform OF 1892. Did the
Montana Senator mean. asked Mr.. Hoar.
that the construction placed on that plat
form by President Harrison was false and
elusive? The Senator CARTER had referred
to Republican Senators joining President
Cleveland. but Mr.. Hoar called attention
to the overwhelming majority which the
Republican States OF New England had
given against Mr.. Cieveland's party. Mr..
Hoar closed with question addressed spe-
officially to Mr.. Carter. namely: IT ask that
