NO FRAUD In The TRUSTS
Julia Pralrs Suit to Prevent Sale
of Hotel Arn0 Dismissed.
Justice Cox Declares 1t Reinarka bic
That Children Should Charge
Fraud Against Parents.

Justice Cox, presiding in equity court
the suit brought by Julia NJ. Prall to re-
strain the foreclosure OF certain deeds of
trust executed on the property known as
the Hotel Arno The justice dismissed the
bill upon the grounds that the trusts were
valid and no fraud had been perpetrated,
as charged
The suit was brought by Mrs, Prall In be
half OF the infant heirs, She alleged that
their interests were jeopardiZed hy their
father, William E. Prall, who executed the
trusts, and It was attempted upon her part
TO show that their consent had not been
legally obtained.
There were two trusts involved, one in
favor OF the Philadelphia Savings Fund
Society, OF Philadelphia, for $40, 300, the
other for $1,000, in favor Of a defendant
named jerks, also of Philadelphia.
The property was inherited by Mrs Prall
with power to sell, IL was alleged 1ut with
out expressed authority to effect a loan
upon 10. In order 10 borrow money, II is
stated, the five lots embraced in the
heritage, Were conveyed to William Healey,
Mrs Prall's brother, and ny him Iccon-
Yeyed To his Wife, and upon her application
$1,000 was borrowed. to secure which a
deed of trust was placed up"l the property.
subsequently other loans were secured, III
all amounting to S39, 500
In order - release the property from these
al
to 7 yler * Rutherford for loan Gf 500
600, which was eventually secured through
Mr.. Tyler. OF the Savings i ssocia5ioa, which
supplied $45, 600, and obtained Il first
mortgage, and MIR Jeni;s. who accepted
a second mortgage for $4,000, the last
mentioned amount To bc paid within one
year, the other in four years.
There was default of Iayment, Justice
Cox, remarked, on the $4,000 loan, and in
consequence the trustees were objected 10
sell the property.
The petition in behalf OF the children
charged that they were defrauded by the
deeds of trust; that the money obtained
was for the benefit of Prall himself and
not for improving the property nor for
the interests OF the heirs. 1t was also
alleged that the conveyance to Mr.. Healey,
and subsequently to his wife, was sham
sale, of which Mr.. Tyler, OF Tyler & Ruther-
ford, was advised prior to his transaction
in securing the $4,000 loan.
THE most remarkable feature in this
case" remarked Justice Cox, lis that the
children charge fraud upon. their father
ana neither He added that from the
testimony il was shown that the children
must derive title from the parents.
Prall had evidently brought the accusation
of fraud, or had acquiesced in it, and the cf
feet of the action was to defraui the
creditors. Mrs. Healey's title was uniln-
peached, he added, but the conveyance to
her was not necessary as preliminary 10

and nervous debility holds him down just
as surely as a great weight. He feels that
he is down, but he hasn't strength or en-
ersv enough to get UP again His whole
body seems tired out His head is heavy.
All effort is distasteful He is as tired in the
morning as he was when he went to bed.
The sleep he gets is heavy, dreamful and
uurefresiiing. His body is full of turgid
healthless impure blood He Is subject to
headaches and dizziness and palpitation of
the heart at the least exertion. He is on the
direct road to serious sickness. Few men
appreciate how serious is their case when
they say ooh, there is nothing the matter
with me. My blood is a little out of order
that is all !"
Pure blood is essential to life. The more
impure it becomes, the stronger hold disease
has on the system. If, instead of contain
ing health-giving, life giving properties, the
blood is full OF disease breeding impurities,
how is the daily waste Of the tissues to be
replaced? 1t is perfectly natural that the
man will lose vitality and nerve force-that
he will lose flesh and vigor. He will be use
less to himself and to everyone else.
Impure blood comes from perfectly rea-
sonable causes, and if the proper measures
are taken, it is easy to purifyIt. DR.. Plerce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest
blood purifier that was ever known. 1t IS

tsrial needed to bring the whole body back

Low MEETING CHEERS TRACY.

Went wild with Enthusiasm.

A crowd of 5000 persons, ono.halt of them

speeches OF Seth Low. One of the speakers
OF the meeting was J. Noble Hayes. q Cit
OF considerable rcnown. and during his re-
marks no spoke OF Gen. Tracy as a
gallant soldier. The sentence was scarcely
completed before the only genuine enthusiasm
OF tho evening displayed itself. Nearly all tho
men present rose and cheered and shouted for
the Republican candidate until Mr.. Hayes
nearly tainted at the storm no had caused.
Several times he essayed to continue his speech,
but every time he opened his mouth the cheor-
Ing broke out afrcsh for Gen. Tracy. Finally
the crowd decided to give the speaker another
chance.
That's right no said. "Cheer Gen. Trtcy's
war record. but I don't want you to shout for
his nomination as a Republican or tho manner
In which he got it,"
Mr.. Hayes got no further. The crowd was en-
its feet again yelling itself hoarse for Tracy.
When the enthusiasm subsidized MIR. Hayes was
careful not to make any further reference to the
Republican candidate. and he was allowed 10
finish his speech without interruption.
