The Cole Settlement.

1t is our candid opinion that nearly
every citizen will heartily welcome
the amicable settlement of all matters
pertaining to the will Of the late John
w. Cole in which the city is interest
ed. If carried out to the letter the
recommendation of the comforting
C mmittee cannot help but prove
beneficial to all parties concerned.
The full text Of the agreement is to be
found in the committees report print
ed in the common council proceedings
elsewhere in this issue. By this agree
ment the city consents to the sale of
to be sure, in view of the ruling of
Judge Grimm, is a concession on the
city's part. But it must be admitted
that the property in its present neg
lected and dilapidated condition is
not even self-supporting, no revenue
being derived from it at all. The pro-
Ceeds Of this sale, above what neces-
sary costs and expenses are to be paid
b the estate, can be invested in in
rest-bearing securities and held for
the city's benefit in the end. The
balance of the property held in trust
is, as we understand it, all in excellent
cond zion and paying revenue. The
agreement further cites that all pres
ent litigation is to be suspended and
that the executors are never to again
Involve the trust estate in litigation.
Such a condition is surely to be COM
mended. If contention through the
courts, such as has been in progress
for over two years, were TO be con-
tinued, the estate would gradually be
diminished and the city involved in
much expense and trouble. The agree
ment entered into provides for the
amicable settlement of all matters in
dispute, the friendly cooperation of
the city and the executors hereafter
in SO far as the trust property is con-
cerned. and the final requirement by
the city of the devises of the testator,
all without any litigation or court
expenses in the future. These trusts
carefully performed will substantiate,
we think, the wisdom of the commit
tees recommendation and the coun-
cil's action.

ishes the motor power to haul the coal
from the gangways and breasts to the
bottom of the slope. The first trial
was a success, gratifying to both the
inventor and the company. Within
six months, it is understood, these ma
chimes will be placed in all the mines
Of the Philadelphia and Reading and
all other mines operated by the small
er companies in the SchuyllSill coun-
ty region. The new method of trans
porting coal, it is said, reduces the cost
about one-half.
Mine mules are always kept in eX-
cellent condition. From so to $50
mules are used in each mine. Many
are killed by accident each month and
of course have to be replaced.
The new continuance will prove a
severe blow to western mule breeders
as all these animals were purchased
at good prices.

CANoNCHET FOR SALE.
Mrs. Sprague Offers The Famous Old
Property.

Mrs Sprague Offers The Famous Old
Property.
New York, Sept. PA special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Whining
ton, Del, says:
Canonchet, at Narragansett Pier is
for sale.
Mrs. Sprague placed the big property
in the hands of a New York real estate
agent to be disposed of. Mrs. Sprague
is known as Mrs. Inez Sprague.
Being asked the reason for the pro-
posed sale she said: II want to go
abroad to study opera. 1 expect to
leave in a few weeks and will make
Europe my home. We have been
thinking for some time whether 1t
would be best for us to retain the Can
onehet, and a few days ago we con-
cluded to offer it for sale"
Mrs. Sprague returned from Paris
a sho1't time arc. While In the Frsnoh
capital she was a student of Marchisi.
She will leave New York in few
weeks for Paris, whence she will go to
Milan, where she will appear in the
opera of ada" this winter.
Mrs. Sprague has for many years
been a leader in Naragansetts fash
ionable society. She is a Virginian
by birth and at the time she married
Rhode Islands war governor, her Sis
ter married his son. She was quite
wealthy in her own right and it is said
that it was principally through her eff
forts that the governors estate, Can
onchet, was saved when he became in
volved in financial difficulties. Mrs.
Sprague is said to be now worth

construction, together with the inn

Other News,

New York, Sept. 24.-The times says
from the appearances the torpedo boat
Flotilla, which is to cruise in the in
land waters of the United States will
not be ready to leave on the date that
had been set.
The little boats are now assembling
at the navy yard in Brooklyn for re-
pairs prior to their departure. The
boats now there are the Porter, Eris-
sen and Foote. The Porter arrived
from the proving grounds a few days
ago. She is moored to the cob dock
where repairs and alterations are be-
ing made in some of the main machin-
cry. The large torpedo tube which
was fitted on the deck of the vessel
aft for the purpose of testing torpe-
does, has been removed and the old
one put in place. The Porter will be
ready to leave the navy yards on Sep
TENDER 80.
1t is not known how soon the Eric
son can be made ready for service.
The boat is in bad condition and needs
considerable repairing. Her machin-
cry is badly shaken up and several
parts will have to be removed and re-
placed with new ones.
The vessel has never been satisfac-
tory. on nearly every cruise some
partisan the macmnery have becume
sSpinplf& and she has been obliged to
return to the navy yard for repairs.
This was notably so on her last cruise.
She is now at the navy yards incapac-
itated for service. Her engines and
her propeller shaft are disabled. One
of the latter is twisted and is believed
to be cracked. One of the propellers
is so broken that it will be necessary
to remove it and replace it with new
one.
On the way to the navy yard from
the training grounds at Newport she
struck something.
1t was not shown what 1t was. 1t
twisted the shaft and broke the pro-
peller blades. The vessel will be
locked as soon as one of the dry docks
can be prepared to float her.
The fiotilla, as far as known, will
consist of the following boats: The
Foote, Dupont, Ericsen, Porter, Cush-
ing and Stiletto. They will assemble
in the lower bay before starting on
their cruise along the coast.
The Foote, which arrived at the navy
yard few days ago, from Norfolk,
Va, is looked upon as a failure. On
her trial trip she barely made the
speed required by the builders con-
tract. Since then she has never equal
led it. On the trip from Norfolk to
this port she made an average of only
II knots. The contract called for a
speed of % knots.
Lieut.. Commander w. w. Kimball
in all probability, when the torpedo
boats are ready for their cruise will
make the Porter, which is the fastest
and best of them all, his flagship.
They are expected to be ready to leave
about October /. They will go along
the coast to the Gulf of Mexico and
then up the Mississippi as far as st.
Louis. 1t is expected that the cruise
will last about six months.

OVATION TO MISS BEEN.

Hutchinson, Kas., Sept. "a
Miss Eva BEEN, accused of EN-.
bezzling 81 800 of government
funds while acting as assistant
postmaster here and who was
acquitted yesterday in the FEEDER
al court, was given an ovation on
her return to Hutchinson. Fully
1000 people, headed by the sec
ond regiment band, met the party
from Wichita at the depot. The
people of Hutchinson have from
the time of her indictment last
January expressed their unquali-
fled belief in her innocence. The
crowd which met Miss BEEN in
cluded the most prominent citi-
zens of Hutchinson. From the
depot the entire crowd accom-
panied the party to Miss Beem's
home where there was congratu
latory speechmaking. Miss Been
will probobly be reinstated at the
postOffice.

Dor of st. Lucia, West Indies,

Dor of st. Lucia, West Indies,
last June.
The Ethel GOnda is a 2,100 ton
vessel and at the time of the ac-
cident was bound from Buenos
Ayres with 1900 bales of wool
consigned to Boston merchants.
The vessel was putting into st.
Lucia for coal on the afternoon
of June 4th, when she ran on the
rocks and was abandoned.
A number of English wrecking
companies were appealed to to
raise the vessel, but refused, say
ing the task was impossible.
The Boston Tow Boat company
finally undertook the contract
and sent the steamer Orion with
divers and wrecking apparatus
to st. Lucia and will in a short
while recover the 1000 bales of
wool, The cargo was but little
damaged. The steamer Saturn
was dispatched to st. Lucia last
month and go additional bales
of wool were recovered. Steel
hawsers were attached to the
stern of the stranded vessel and
she was hauled off the rocks on
September 18th. She was taken
to Cul de Sac on the West coast
of the island and the remainder
of her cargo is being transferred
to the Saturn.
The vessel was worth 100000
and the cargo 100000.

WHICH THEY REFUSE TO AT
TEND AND THE FUN
COMMENCED
Police Stationed At All White
School Doors ITO Prevent The
COlOred Children Entering--Par
entS Take A Hand And Try
To Force An Entrance

Alton, H., Sept. 24.-The
city authorities have taken a
hand in the separate school ques-
ton. The chief of police was in
|structed to take his entire night
and day force and keep the col
ored children and their parents
out of the white schools.
For a time it seemed that the
|seperation would precipatate
serious trouble. Policemen were
stationed at each of the schools
and when the colored people
came with their children, the Off
GERS refused them admittance
at the Washington school, which
is in a portion of the city where
the colored people outnumber
the whites.
The negroes congregated back
of the school house and held a
consultation. They decided to
attempt to put the children into
the school in spite of the officers
and marched over to the school
yard. For a time it seemed that
trouble could only be averted
by permitting the negroes to en-
ter, but the police held their
ground threatening to arrest any
one who should attempt to enter.
The men and women then remain
ed at a distance and urged the
children to go in. Some of them
attempted it, but they were sent
back by the police and none were
successful, save a few boys who
climbed in at the windows while
the officers guarded the doors.
They were promptly arrested and
the colored people then retired
again to the hill back of the
school house where they remain
ed several hours and then return
ed to their homes.
At several other schools the
same scene was repeated. a
committee of three cOlored men
accompanied by their attorney,
then called upon President Fink,
of the school board, and asked
him if it was the intention of the
board to persist in the policy of
excluding the colored children
from the schools attended by the
whites. Mr.. Fink assured them
that such was the intention.
They held another meeting and
instructed three of their number
to go to Springfield and meet
Gen. Palmer, who had wired them
that he would assist them in an
effort to secure in the Federal
court mandamus compelling
the city authorities to permit the
negroes to attend school with
the white children.
The negroes insist that the
law is on their side and fatty
refuse to send their children to
the schools built for them. The
Supreme decisions in similar
cases at Galesburg, Quincy and
Upper Alton encourage them in
the belief that they will triumph
in the courts.
