Milton which Affects Titles to Real Es-
tate Conveyed by Corpora:ion-says
That a Deed Under Seal of the Corpora
tfon Takes Priority Over q Deed Made
ont the seaI-Error From Sumper
County
One OF the most important and inter-
esting decisions handed down by the ap-
pellate court was given out here Sat
urday. The suit was brought by ]. II.
Allen and Penn Yetter VS.. W. L. Brown,
error from Summer county, and affects
the title of real estate conveyed by cor
Torations.
The syllabus reads:
A corporation can convey real prop
erty in the manner prescribed by the
statutes. and not otherwise. and deed
executed by a corporation and having
the corporate seal must be held effective
as a conveyance Of title as against an
ursealed deed Of the same corporation
for the same property. Notwithstanding
the latter deed, though made at later
time, was first recorded and actual pas
session taken under it,
This action was begun by defendant
in error TO quiet title to two lots in the
city of Wellington. He derived his IL
tie by means OF conveyance from the
Wellington Town company, the quit
claim deed under which ne held having
been acknowledged and recorded May
2, 1881. II states that the town COM
pany, by its president and secretary. is
the party OF the first part, and IS sign
ed and acknowledged by he president
and secretary OF the company as such
officers. Plaintiff purchased the prop
erty III March, 1884. and entered into
possession thereof directly thereafter
ward. He built house and made 9TH
er improvements thereon, amounting to
nearly $500, and his possession was not
disputed al the trial. The said deed
from the town company bore no cor
porate seal. Defendants claimed title
under a warranty deed from the same
company dated December %, 1872, and
acknowledged on the 9th Of the same
til December q, 1884. Defendants filed
a verified answer denying that the Well
lington Town company ever executed
any deed through which the plaintiff &C
quired any title or right to the real es-
tate described in mis- petition and de-
nying the authority of P. A. Wood, who
signed the deed as president to make
the conveyance. Plaintiff was not
aware of the existence of this deed I'M
Ill after it was recorded.
Defendants paid the taxes on the
property from the date of the deed, and
the plaintiff also paid the taxes on the
property after his purchase. The case
was tried by the court and judgment
rendered for the plaintiff, quoting his
title as prayed for. Plaintiffs in error
have filed a brief, but defendants have
failed to do so. The decision is made
by Judge Milton. The lower court is
reversed and the case remande3 for new
trial Judge Milton cites section IS,
chapter %. Of the general statutes OF
1868, as amended in 1887, which says
that all deeds purp0rting to convey real
estate shall bear the seal OF the corpor-
alton and be signed by the president or
vice president.

man told Marshal Callahan. but no in
vestigation vas made.
From many reasons great many peo-
pie think that the man killed had been
working with a threshing outfit. His
clothes, the binding Irvine on his over
alIs, being found hid in a straw stack,
are the causes for the impression. The
first talk was that it was a man by
the name OF Craig, who disappeared a
short time ago. The description par.
italy suits Craig. Some say that some
stripper killed his contestant and took
this means to get rid Of the body. 9th
ers think he was killed when Lemen
Bros. circus was here.
1t is thought that the man had been
dead two or three weeks, or possibly
longer. The best any one could judge.
the man was between 40 and so years Of
age. Judge Kreamer acting as coroner
ordered the body buried this afternoon.

an excellent housekeeper, a beautiful
mother, and very fond of her home nd her
children.
Among the other ladies here during the
inauguration was Mrs. Clarence sBurns,
president of the West End Woman's = Repub-
lican Club Of New York City. Mrs. Burns
work in the campaign was almost as i'm
portant as thatof Mrs. Foster. She carried
on a great educational campaign in the
tenements in the Tagnmany district, and
won over thousands of the men, who had
sold their votes before, TO the Republican
ticket, it is said.
Miss Boswell is still in Washington She
was one OF the women who took part in
the recent women politicians function
at the Strathnore Arms. She is probably
the most practical woman politician up TO
date. She organized the Republican VIC
men all over her state last fall, and had
10000 of them working for Mckinley She
is fine speaker, and was sent out by the
State committee. Miss Boswell is a very
small. young woman She is thoroughly
feminine, and most delightful in every
way. Miss BOSWELL and Mrs. Burns are now
at work on plans for future campaigning
in New York.

three hours.
Although 1t is very hard TO obtain ex-
act information OF the many crimes which
are daily being committed all over the
island by Weyler's ferocious followers,
word occasionally comes from the coun.
try describing some especially horrible
deed committed on the poor, unoffending
pac1ficos. On the 4th instant the local
guerrillas OF Santa Clara came to the house
Uf quiet and law abiding citizen named
Jose Pradoy Liera residing with his wife
and four children in the outskirts OF the
city, close to a fort called Barquin, and
within the cultivated zone styled Los
Egidos. He was dragged out of his home
and despite the entreaties OF his wife and
the despairing cries or his children, who
suspected the fate reserved for him, was
hacked TO pieces with machetes, and left
dead on the road. The poor woman had
to take refuge in Santa Clara, because
she also was threatened with her life.
This crime has caused great indignation
in that city, for Pradoy was highly con-
sidered, and esteemed as an honest and
hard working citizen. Many other muir
ders as horrible have occurred there.
The presence in Santa Clara of the NAL
lorca battalion, commanded by Gen. Segura,
and that commanded by Col. Alsina. be-
longing to Weyler's brigade, seems to in
dlcate animportant movement OF the rebels
in that direction, and that Weyler is rush
ing troops to that city, fearing an attack
on the same.
Gen. WeyIer leaves today at noon on the
transport lie Gazpi for Sangua la Grande,
and from there viii proceed to Santa
Clara city.

MAN AND HIS MICROBES.
DIR. Schweinftz Deals Interestingly
With an Important Subject.


The special meeting OF the Chemical So
city OF Washington, which was held on
Tuesday night at the Builders Exchange,
was made particularly Interesting by the
address OF the retiring president, DR.. E. A
de Schweinitz, his subject being THE
War with the Microbes" The meeting
was under the auspices OF the joint COM
mission OF the scientific societies of this
city, Mr.. Y. K. Chestnut being the secretary
of the Chemical Society.
DR.. chweinitz traced the various steps
OF investigation which resulted in the dis
covery OF the germ theory of disease, and
then advanced the theory that these mi
croscopic forms effect not only inorganic
but organic matter, including the human
body. he then ex planned the peculiarities
OF various classes OF bacteria, some thriv-
ing on tSe MUCOUS membranes: others in
the lungs. I'd others again in external
cells and membranes.
A very interesting aart OF the address
dealt with the discovery by Salmon and
his assistants in this city in 1892, that
the poisons OF germs could be used as anti
toxines. The effect OF the Introduction OF
these antitoxines was demonstrated, and
also the use of serum, the preparation OF
which was also explained. Speaking OF
the curious possibilities OF the practical
use Of microbes, DR.. schweinitz said:
I'VE might spend months in speaking OF
the many other ways in which the pro-
ducts OF the dreaded bacteria are useful to
mankind, and note those which yield ex-
cecdingly brilliant dyes, some OF which
may be made practically useful. But
these, and many other germs, are only
waiting mans bidding to become valuable
subjects, and to show that as has been
instanced in the history OF nations, con-
quered people often make the best and
wjsest citizens"
