DE BOISSIERE
CASE.
Move for a Receiver for the Odd
Fellows Home
Brings the Case Up in the OF
taWa Courts.
THE GRAND LODGE IS
THE GRAND LODGE IS
Not Fighting the Trustees
Give a Quit Claim.
Motion for Receiver in the In
terests of TrOutman & Stone.

Ottawa, April 9.-The De Boissiere
case came up yesterday in the district
court, on a motion for a receiver for
the personal property at Si1kvilIe This
motion was filed by Attorney Haughey
of Winfield and was signed by Nichol-
son & Haughey for the l. o. O. F.
grand lodge. The motion was set for
yesterday. Judge Benson called it up,
but owing to the absence of Attorney
Haughey, consideration was postponed
until today.
After Judge Benson's action. Judge
M y. Nicholson arose and said SUBJ
stant1ally that he wanted his position
IN this matter distinc tly understood
He was here solely to protect the inter
ests of the grand IooIge What the
grand lodge has given to this property
1t gave freely, and the grand lodge has
long ago given quit claim to their in
terests- He did not want to be I'M
derstood as fighting the trustees. The
only interest the lodge claims in this
is that in case the property should re-
vert to Mr.. Boisstere's heirs it is de-
sired to be represented undel- its cross
bill, which asks for a lien on the prop
erty for whatever its investment is
shown to be. Mr.. Nicholson denied
knowing of this application for a re-
ceiVer having been filed on the part of
the grand lodge, and said that he was
not a party thereto. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the motion for a re-
ceiver was rather in the interests of
lodge. Attorneys Troutman & Stone
and Haughey failed to appear to argue
the motion.
Every new phase of this interesting
case seems to show that a few people
desire to gain possession of the prop
erty. The fact that attorneys claim
to have gone to France and purchased
of the heirs of Mr.. Boissiere their
title to the property, and other develop
ments such as above referred to, tend
toward proving more clearly each day
that this suit is merely a scheme of
parties in this country to gain pc sses-
sion of this property for their OWE in
terests rather than suit for or by the
heirs a interest.
TO SUBSTITUTE NAMES
Attorneys Troutman & Stone later
appeared for the plaintiff, Madame
Martinelle, sister and heir to De Bots
siere, and asked that their names be
substituted for the plaintiff clai ming
that they had purchased all right title
and interest to her real estate, and
asked the privilege to file an arls ended
petition to that effect. The de fend-
ants, the De Boissiere Odd F4 lows
home, and the trustees of the home,
through their attorneys, object ed to
filing the amended petition on the
ground that it would change tn en-
tire nature of the cause of action The
court took the matter under ad wise
ment.

HARRISON RUNS AWAY.
Takes His Wheel and Goes to the
Country to Escape Office Seekers
and Advisers.

Chicagoyf April 9.-Mayor- elect Harri-
son did not buckle down to the work of
making a cabinet yesterday. and he
fooled most of those who wished to adj
wise with him on that very important
subject. It was announced at his resi-
dence and also at his place of business
that he had left the city. and the utter
lack of knowledge on the part of those
asked as to his exact whereabouts
could only be accounted for on the
hypothesis that he was out on his BIZ
cycle. 1t was afterward learned that
Mr.. Harrison concluded the best way to
wear off the fatigue of the mayoralty
campaign was a century run, and he
left town with his wheel in the baggage
car.
1t is the understanding he went to
Attica, Ind, or West Baden, and Thos
Gahan, Charles S. Thornton and others
who took part in the management of
the campaign expect him to join them
in a conference at Hot Springs, Ark,
before he returns to the city. Others
predict he win not be absent from the
city long, and that he will return as
soon as he gets rested. If he does it
may be depended upon that the men at
Hot Springs will lose no time in get
ting home. The inauguration, accord
ing to the present plans, will not take
place before a week from Monday.

Mr.. Grimes-FIosv did Clark happen to
mention $500 or $500?
Al did not intend to refer to that,
but win say that when Clark was dis
cussing the pass which so unfortunately
got away from him, he said that he
needed $500, and asked me If I knew
where he could get it. said no. He
replied that he could use it to a good
advantage.
Odd he get it?
Al don't know, but understand
he has been very successful.
Q.-What have you heard?
"A gentleman from Mr.. Clark S
county told me last night that he and
the people there could not understand
how Clark had done so well on $500 a
day and paid his own board. I was also
told that Clark had been out a good
deal at night, taken flyer on the wheat
market and had since been throwing
bouquets at himself through the news
papers.
Q.-What else have you heard?
Al do not believe that is necessary
for me to tell what have heard about
Clarks vote on the oleomargarine bill.
Mr.. Outcalt-What did you say with
reference to C1ark's request for inform
alton as to where he could get $500.
A=After Clark left I told Mrs. Ben
nett that Brown of Pratt, was counting
on the support of some men, who were
for sale to the railroads and that Clark
was one of them.
DR. Smith was then excused, and Mrs.
Nellie Bennett, clerk of the committee
on engrossed bills, of which DR.. Smith
was chairman, was called. She cor
roborated DR.. Smiths testimony that
Clark had first suggested to Smith that
there ought to be something in a vote
on that railroad bill" She also sub
Stimulated DR.. Smiths testimony with
reference to the pass.
Q.-Were you subpoenaed?
Al was not.
Q.-How did you happen to come to
Topeka?
A.-To do some shopping and visit
my mother.
Q--When did you first see DR.. Smith?
A.-This- morning.
Q.-Where?
Ale came to see me and asked me
to come to the senate chamber.
Ole asked you to come and give
this testimony
A.-He did not tell me what testi-
mony to give.
Q.-Merely asked you to be present?
Ayes sir.
Q,-No suggestion as to what you
A.-NO sir
At the conclusion of Mrs. Benefits
testimony which developed nothing
further, the hearing adjourned.

Larissa. April Sin spite of official in
telltgence received here yesterday say
ing that the powers have arranged to
settle the Cretan question by plebiscite
of the island, there is no cessation of
war preparations. Troops are being for

splendidly equipped.
ConstantinopIe, April 9--The war pre-
parations throughout the Turkish empire
continue to be steadily pressed although
there is not much change in the eastern
situation A very pessimistic feeling pre-
walls here at the failure of the powers
attempts to coerce Greece. The block
ade of the Piaeus seems as far off as
ever and the war party is bringing pres
sure to bear upon the government with
the result that the port has dispatched
circulars to the representative abroad
setting forth the Turks growing lmpa-
tent. at the prolongation of the crisis
which is pressing heavily upon an al
ready embarrassed exchequer.
The belief prevails here that the powers
are losing their hold over the course OF
events and that their sO-called concert Is
a failure.

IMPORTERS ARE ACTIVE.
Thirty Shiploads of Merchandise Are
Headed for Our Shores.

9Sd0S0 4OG 0UI 0AOIGSs
New York, April 9-The Press says:
Activity on the part of the sugar trust
to import large quantities of sugar be-
fore the enactment of the DingIey bill
makes it necessary for Collector Kill
berth to ask the department to allow
him to employ more Weighers, as the
sugar importers have been com planning
that the present force is inadequate to
handle the many cargoes of sugar en-
tered at this port. The request was
granted, and the collector yesterday
hired ten additional Weighers and 20
others will be employed Immediately.
The payment of duty on sugar has
increased more than $500. 900 this week.
AS nearly as can be estimated at the
custom house daily receipts on account
of sugar duty have been as follows.
Monday, $120, 900; Tuesday, $500, 600: Wed
nesday, SIS, 900; Thursday, $157, 600. To-
tai, 1892, GOO
At others ports the movement is cor
respondingly large. A dispatch from
Boston received in Wall street yester-
day stated that 80 ships loaded with
sugar, wool and other merchandise from
European ports are scheduled to sail
for that port within the next few days.
In Philadelphia receipts last week were
large and the showing for this week is
heavy. All this sugar is entered as
Directed shipped prior to April 1,
hence the duty is collectab1e according
to the schedule in the Wilson law.

WICHITA SIDEWALK PROBLEM.
One. Fourth of the Sidewalks Danger
Gus to Life and Limb.

Wichita April 9.-The very first cues
ton of Importance that will be offered TO
the new city administration for solution
and settlement will be the question of bet
ter sidewalks. At the present time there
is probably no city in the world with
worse wooden sidewalks than Wichita.
Every other person one meets has Pc
tition in his pocket relating to sidewalks
and the very night the new administra-
ton takes its seat the new members can
expect at least a bushel of the documents.
A conservative estimate fixes the amount
of bad and dangerous sidewalks in the
city at the present time at about one
fourth. That is out of every 100 feet OF
wooden sidewalks in the city % feet fts-Sa
either rOtted or been stolen In other
words about one out of every four pla n1s
is gone. and hence danger of breaking
ones leg and the consequent cost to the
city by way of damages has increased in
proportion to the destruction of the side
walks and an increasing sentiment in
favor of cinder sidewalks. Cinder walks
cost practically nothing, they break no
legs they are always dry and in every
respect are the proper sidewalks for hand
