Heirs to Millions.

The Phoebe Record says that the
| Edwards and Lee families OF Lincoln
county will soon come into the pos.
session Of vRst wealth from the settle
ment OF their claims to m interest in
torty-tiye acres OF land in the heart of
Now York City. Tho great business
blocks on we'll street and on Broad
way, the Government building, post
office and custom houses are on this
property. This land was leased to
King George III by the Edwardt
family for COLONEL use prior to the
Revolutionary war for a period o'
ninety.nine years. 1t was afterwards
sublet by crown lease to Dutch
settler and later sod of into city lots
subject to tie terms Of the lease. The
Edwards heirs never lost sight OF their
equities, and when The lehsc expired
Efforts were made to establish their
title but many reyerses followed.
William Edwards, ono OF the heirs.
spent a private fortune in tracing up
tho title and after ten years OF incess-
ant work eucceeded in making such a
showing that when he confronted tie
attorneys OF the present ownen of the
property in 1896 with his proof they
advised compromise for the sum Of
s3J0.0O0,OO0. This compromise failed
because some OF the wealthy heirs re
fused to accept what they coneide red
small portion Of the great estate.
William Edwards was 40 insulted and
grieyed by the ungrateful attitude OF
tho heirs that he dropped the great
work then md there. Tho Edwards
title, however, was established, and
the occupants Of the ground could
not afford to lot the matter go unsot

promises to DO speedily settled.

HAVOC AMONG THE WIRES.

The sleet and snow storms early this
morning have given more trouble to
telegraph wires into Topeka than has
been caused for a, year.
Of sixteen Western Union wires
to Kansas City, not one was working
from this city up to 2 o'clock today.
The main trouble seems to be in and
about Kansas City. It is reported that
on the Santa Fe line near Kansas City
ten telegraph poles are down and the
wires in a tangIe.

wires are working poorly, most of the
Associated Press news from the east
coming via Denver, the latter point
having a wire from Omaha. The wires
to many Kansas points are all right.
The Journal received several tele-
graph items from Kansas City today
which Travelled sixteen hundred miles
to bridge the distance of sixty-seven,
going from Kansas City to Omaha
thence to Denver, thence to Topeka.

STORM THEGUARD
Battle in the Belgian Chamber
of Deputies.

Brussels, Jan. 25.-Deputy Demblon en-
tered the vestibule of the chamber of dep
uties this afternoon accompanied by
band of socialists. The officer in com
mand of the guard informed him that in
pursuance of the presidents order, he
could not be allowed to enter, whereupon
NJ. DemblOn raised cries OF ''Vive FAR
mee!' and ''Vive II r lsublique-''
A crowd collected and attempted to rush
the soldiers, with the result that there
was a scuff1e, the troops withstanding the
mob with fixed bayonets, and a hand-to-
hand fight taking place between the So
cialists and anti-socialists. For a time
the tumult was indescribable and a strong
body of police was required to quiet the
disorder. Within the chamber of depu-
ties the greatest excitement also prevail
ed. The socialists demanded to know who
was responsible for the violence of the
soldiers toward the deputies. The tu-
multi became deafening and the ministers
who attempted to reply were shouted
down.

Large Bodies of Police Surround the
House of French Ministers.

Paris, Jan. 25.-The military club to-
day was guarded by the police, who
were also stationed within the Place

TELEGRAPH WIRES DOWN.
Snow and Ice Cause Great Damage
Along the Santa Fe.

The telegraph wires of the Santa Fe are
down between Topeka and Kansas City
and for several hours the train dispatch
ers could tell nothing about the trains be-
tween Topeka and Kansas City and it
looked as if traffic would have to be stop
ped. A wire between Topeka and En-
poria was connected with the wire over
the cutoff from EmpOria to Holiday. In
this way trains between Holiday and To-
peka were handled. but between Holiday
and Kansas City there was no connection.
The snow and rain freezing on the wires
weighed them down so heavily that the
poles gave way under the enormous
weight. Between Wilder and De Soto %
poles are reported down, between Edger-

and Eudora 30, and trainmen report 56

DeraiIed Near Leavenworth-No
One Hurt.

Leavenworth, Jan. 25.-The Leavenworth,
Topeka & Southwestern mixed train from
Topeka, due here at 1850 o'clock, was
wrecked at 1910 o'clock about a quarter
of a mile west of the linseed oil mill. The
train was running at the usual rate Of
speed when, without warning, all except
the front trucks of the locomotive left the
track and bumped along the ties for sew
eral yards before the train could be stop
ped. Engineer Watson and his fireman
stuck to their posts.
Two coaches and two box cars were
thrown from the rails and the passengers
got a thorough shaking up, but no one
was reported hurt
The cause of the accident is said to have
been the spreading of a rail. Neither en-
gine nor coaches were turned over.

Floor
Of the French Chamber of Dem

VIENNA WAS OUTDONE.
A Repetition of DOnnybrOOk
Fair-Heads We're Smashed
And Coats We're Torn From the
Bodies of Wearers.

Paris, Jan. 25.-It is agreed on all
sides that Saturdays scene in the
chamber of deputies was almost with
out precedent, except the recent dis
turbances in the Austrian reichsrath.
Curiously enough, Count Badeni Cform-
er Austrian premier) witnessed it.
After the chamber was cleared, 235
torn-off neckties were picked up, to-
gether with many coats that had been
torn by deputies from each others
shoulders. NJ. Clovis Hughes, one of
the deputies for the department OF
Seine, had a door slammed on his fng-
ers, which were so mutiIated that he is
now in the hands of a surgeon.
The scene of fighting around the tri-
bune was unparalleled. Comte de Ber-
mis- is a retired cavalry officer and has
the rough manners of the bulI-hghting
town of Mines, where he will be a can
didate at the next elections. NJ Jaures
is thick-set, fiorid and hairy. NJ. Car
ault Richard is Withholding. The lat
ter was hustled and knocked about like
a football in his attempt to deal Comte
de Bernis a blow. Some so deputies
tatters and cravats were seized in the
attempts to choke an opponent. Dur
ing lull in the fight Mr.. Gerault Rich
ard was seen in tatterS, his craVat torn
off and his shirt front torn open, while
his sympathizers were patting him on
the back.
Suddenly Comte de Bernis bounded
up the stairs of the tribune on all fours
like an animal, dealt NJ. Jaures heavy
blow on the back of the head and kick
ed him on the legs. NJ. Jaures was
knocked over and stumbled down the
steps. Picking himself up, he saw
| COmte de Bernis making off with a
crowd of deputies, while the remainder
of the house hOOted him, crying Cow
ard and Traitor
NJ. Jaures threw a knOtted handker-
| chief after him. COmte de Bernis seem
| ed paralyzed and the house cheered n.
/ Jaures, while a body of Socialists made
! another rush at COrnte de Bernis, and
! the melee was renewed as furious as
before.
| NJ. Brisson, president of the chamber,
| finding it hopeless to restore order, de-
J parted, and the military entered at re-
| quest, it is said, of a questOr who fear
[ ed loss Of life if the scenes were contin-
| ued.
The humorous element of this dis
| graceful scene was supplied by the
| Mussulman deputy, NJ. Grenier, who
! during the attitude of prayer, he as
| sumed in the height of the fighting
helplessly waved his white burnous,
| giving the effect of a huge duck flap
ping the water with it's wings.
Paris has the appearance of being in
state of siege and 1000 police and
soldiers hold the Place de la Concorde.
