LOng-Pending Suit Finally Comes Up
for Hearing.

The case of County Treasurer Schmidt
against the estate of the late VIM. P.
Gallup, who died several years ago, was
on trial all day yesterday in the Circuit
Court after being pigeon-holed for three
years The original suit was brought by
eX-County Treasurer Sterling Holt and the
continuance is now an heirloom to the
present incumbent, Mr.. Schmidt. The asser-
ton of the plaintiff is that there is now
due from the estate the sum of SCI, 754, with
interest, covering taxes for the period from
1881 TO 1898. The specific property which
it is alleged that there are taxes due con-
sists of 100000 in stocks which have never
been returned for taxation by the admins
traitor, Edward p. Gallup. When the orig
inal suit was filed the administrator was in
the act of closing up his affairs as admin
istrator and he was allowed to do so upon
filing a bond of 100000 to secure the pay
ment of whatever sum the court might
order as a result of this suit. The knowl-
edSe or these stocks came to the county
commissioners originally through the eff
forts of a special officer of that board
during the SOS and as result demands were
from time to time made the estate for
taxes, but always unsuccessfully, finally re-
Sulting in the filing OF the suit jan f. 1885,
The main testimony brought out yester
DAY was a statement by w. II. II. Miller
for the defense, going to show that a set
tlement had been made by the administra-
tor with the former treasurer, Sterling Holt,
by which the latter accepted S., 900 in full
for all claims against the estate This the
PLAINTIFFS attorney, Mr.. Ketcham, COM
batted with the statement that it would
have been impossible to have made a set
Element of a case that had never been con-
troVerted. The defense then set up the plea
that in any event the statute of limitation
barred the collection by suit of any taxes
Que prior TO six years before the suit was
MED. This statement was excepted to by
Mr. ketcham, who stated that it was en-
tlreIy legal to sue to recover all taxes due
pack as far as 1881. The afternoon was spent
Dy the attorneys in cross-fire and wrang-
ing, so that ex-Auditor Thomas Taggart
and his former deputy, E. M. johnson, could
not testify. Along with them as witnesses
were township Assessor Eugene Saulcy and
County Treasurer VIM. Schmidt

The grand wind-up of the week of the
celebration Of the completion of the new

sembly hall were tables with chairs at either
side, and before the stage was a raised
platform, with table and chairs, for the pre-
siding genius, August M. Kuhn, president
of the German Club, and those who were to
make speeches. The kommers is a stu
dents entertainment in Germany, and is
said to be a custom more than $50 years old.
After the six hundred or more guests and
hosts were seated, the kommers began. The
hosts were the members of the three So
cieties of the German House, the German
Club, the Musk Verein and the Turn
verein.
The guests were the members of the
Maennerchor, the Liedefkranz, the South
side TurnVerein, the Unabhaengige Turn
verein, the Amphion Club, the Press Club
and the German Veterans. Mr.. Kuhn made
the introductory address, and then came
the opening, Song of Union" Mr.. Kuhn
then called for Mr.. c. e. Emmerich, who
spoke in English and responded to the
toast, Our Country" The next song was
The Star-spangled Banner" and it, too,
was in English The other speeches were
in German, and "Das Deutsche Haus," by
Otto Stechhan, followed by a song of
friendship; THE German Spirit" by Philip
Rappaport; a song, "Contentment; THE
Turnyerein Physical Culture by Theodore

Property on North Meridian street
Purchased.


The New Telephone Company yesterday
purchased for it's exchange and offices the
property of John H. Vajen, on North Merid-
ian street, between the Willoughby block
and the Marion Club. The lot is fifty feet
and seven inches wide by 1875 feet deep, with
an alley on the south and Bird street on
the west. The present building will be
heightened, so as to locate the exchange on
the top floor, and the other rooms of the
house will be occupied as offices, waiting
and lunchrooms for the operators, etc.
The premises will be occupied by both the
New Telephone Company and the New
Long-distance Company, the state organiza-
ton, which is engaged in putting in long
distance lines to connect with the indie
pendent telephone exchanges of the State.
Mr.. Nordyl1e. president of the New Com
pany said: I'VE feel that we have OBJ
tanned the very best location in the city for
our purpose. Our investment in fixtures
will be so large that it did not seem pru-
dent to us to do otherwise than own our
for our employees. The light and ventila-
ton will be perfect and the surroundings
all that could be desired
Harry Gates, secretary of the company
said These negotiations have been going
on for some time. This Vajen property is
the only place in town we wanted to buy
1t just fixes us We will build the whole
back part of the lot up for our storerooms
and the rooms in the first and second floors
will make handsome Offices"
Mr.. Sheerin said the purchase was a good
one from every conceivable standpoint that
all things seemed to be working we'll for the
New Telephone Company, and that it is
getting large numbers OF new subscribers
every day.
The contract for the new apparatus will
not be made for some time. The officers of
the company will first visit independent tele-
phone plants at Wilmington, DEL Fort
Wayne. Grand Rapids and other cities in an
different systems gives the best satisfac-
ton. 1t has been settled that all subscrib-
ers will have independent lines; no such
thing as a party-line system will be estab-
lished. The officers of the company say that
party-line systems have not been successful.
