Berry Brothers, of Detroit, Mich,
the celebrated yarnish manufacturers,
are making floor finish SO tough that
wood treated with it may be struck
with a hammer or any blunt instru-
ment without iniuring the finish, which
simply dents. under a blow without
cracking or marring. This would seem
to be convincing test as to its ex-
celence, and no doubt accounts for the
extraordinary popularity of "Liqnid
Granite as this remarkable floor finish
is called. A neat little brochure on
floor finishing is issued by the manu-
facturers of Liquid Granite, whiel
they send free to any one sufficiently
interested to write for it. They also

ANSWER FILED.
The Attorneys for Mrs Chase Answer the
Sensational Charges.

Sensational Charges.
When the Chancery Court convened
at Elizabethton last Monday morning
in regular session more than usual in
terest was manifest on account of the
expected answer for the defense to the
bill recently filed by the Mutual Life
Insurance company, of New York,
against Tom Chase. The answer was
prepared by Kirkpatrick, Williams &
Bowman, of this city, and is severe
arraignment of the plaintiffs. There is
a general denial of the plaintiffs allie
cations. 1t is positively asserted that
Tom Chase did die at the time stated
in the application for the insurance,
and affidavits of persons who attended
him in his last illness and after death
are filed as exhibits. 1t is also alleged
that there was no attempt to defraud
the insurance company by either Chase
or his wife in taking out the policy or
submitting proofs of death. The case
could not be heard at this term, as both
sides have to take proof. This will be-
gin at once and the case will be heard
at the next regular term unless sooner
compromised.
The report that the attorneys for the
defense have proposed compromise
as published in Knoxville paper is
without foundation in fact. On the
other hand THE COMET is advised by a
prominent resident of Milligan that a
representative of the Mutual Life stated
a few days ago to Mrs. Chase that his
company had been woefully misled in
the matter by certain parties, and
virtually admitted there was nothing
but idle rumor inthe charges made. tits

BENEFITS San PEDRO.
A Land Office Decision Accepts the Canon
del Aqua Survey.

Register M. A. Otero has received a
decision from Washington, D. c., which
settles the dispute in regard to the mon
ument in the old Canon del Aqua grant
survey. The patent which the general
land office recently granted to the Santa
Fe Gold and Copper Mining company
was based on this monument, and some
question arose as to it's legality. The
land Office held, however, that the mon
ument on the old grant survey is per-
manent monument, and sufficient to
satisfy the demands of the law The
land office in Washington has been no.
titled, and the patent for group No. 2
will now issue. The application for
patent for the mines in group No. l. at
San Pedro, is stll pending in the gen.
eral land office at Washington, and as
there is no contest, it is anticipated
that the patent will be issued when the
matter is reached. As soon as this is
done everything will be in readiness for
the extensive developments in the San
Pedro district which have been planned
for this summer.

The QUAY TRIAL.
A Case of Addition, Division and Silence
Indicated by the Red Book.

Philadelphia, April 12.-In the trial of
ex-senator Quay the crucial point has
been reached, namely, the question of
the admission of the books of the bank
as evidence, especially those documents
found in the private desk of Cashier
Hopkins. A decision in favor of the de-
fense virtually means a collapse of the
trial, while the admission of the books
may prove serious blow to the defend
ant. Arguments We're continued on this
point today. District Attorney Rother-
mel urged the admission of the books
of the bank. He offered to prove by
letters and kilograms that Quay was
borrowing money from the bank for
the purchase of stock, and paid no in
terest on these moneys. This continued
loaning Of money Rothermel contend
ed, was in furtherance of conspiracy
between Cashier Hopkins, State Treas
urer Haywood and Senator Quay He
proposed to show by writing in the new
fully computed the interest on deposits
not used by Quay, which interest was
divided into three parts, two of which
We're deposited respectively to the cred
it of Haywood and Quay, the remaining
part going, it was alleged, to G. Fl. Nc
Kee of Pittsburg
Judge Biddle decided that the books
of the bank We're admissible as evil
dence. He stated that he was not sat
isfied, however that the "red book was
proper testimony against the senator,
since it was not found among the regu-
lar bank books. The question of it's ad-
instability will be decided when it is
presented.
The district attorney next endeavored
to induce the defense to admit certain
books. Counsel for defense said. 1--WE
will admit nothing" and insisted on the
commonwealth proving each separate
book. Judge Biddle endeavored to have
counsel reach some amicable agree
ment but they failed.
