st. Louis Sept FEATHER Cluse, the
German American priest appointed rec
tor of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic
church In East st. Louis, despite the
protests of its members, who are now
resting under the ban Of excommuni-
cation, resigned yesterday, and Bishop
Jansen accepted his resignation. Then
pending a decision by Mgr Martinelli
in Washington, to whom the trouble
in this parish has been referred, Bishop
Jansen appointed Father Harkins, of
st. Mary's parish, administrator of st.
patrck's. This appears TO be a back
down on the part of Bishop Jansen,
who persisted in appointing German
priest over an Irish parish.

OEWEY'S MARCH TO THE CITY HALL WAS A TRl-
 UMPHAL PROCESSION.
cHEERED TO THE ECHO.
Everywhere Great Crowds Gave the Hero Marked Attention
 Outline of Proceedings.

New York, Sept. 3O.- The second day of the city's official welcome to Admiral Dewey opened clear and cool. There was hardly a cloud in the sky aud the temperature was just low enough to keep tbe crowds on the move for warmth.
 The first ceremony of today was the presentation at the city hall of the gold loving-cup to tte admiral Do Mayor Van Wyck on behalf of the city of New York. At one o'clock the police boat patrol, with a special reception committee on board, made up of St. Clair Nickel way, Wn. McAdoo, Lew P. Morton. ChaHncey M, Depew, Richard Croker and Warren M. Foster. started for tue Olympia. The ad, mira. boarded the patrol which steamed to the battery, where the city's guest was met by the reception committee end escorted by squadron A and detail of mounted police, proceeded up Broadway to the city hall. All along the street were the cheering crowds, and the city hall park was filled to its limit with people, who shouted noisy and enthusiastic welcome as Dewey came in sight.
 Among the distinguished visitors who witnessed the ceremony were Coy. Roosevelt, Admiral Philip, Capt. Walker, Rear Admiral Schley, Capt. Coghlan. Chauneey Depew. Levi P. Morton and Richard Croker.
 Dewey almost hugged Schley, and as the two admlrals greeted each other the crowd sent up a mighty cheer for Dewey and Schley."
 After the formal presentation and ceremonies were over Admiral Dewey went about shaking hands with his friends. Then he lntro- duced each to those present; "Capt, Lamberton of the Olympia, he cried, "Capt. Wildes of the Bos- ton, Capt. CoghlaL of the Raleigh, Capt. Dyer o: the Baltimore, Capt. Wood of the Petrel, Capt. Walker of the Concord. When the captains had all assembled he waved his hand toward them and said: "These are the men who did it.: these are the men who should be thanked; without them I could do nothing"

 ExECUTOR
Of Blanche Roland Estate Files Mo-
 tiOn in Chancery Court.

In the ehancery court in the case of Burton B. Well against Anna Isabel Finneran and J. M. White, executors of the estate of Blanche Roland, deceased, bill was filed by the attorneys for tEe defendants asking that the injunction granted heretoforein the case be either dis. solved or modified.
 The defendant, White, seeks the dissolution in the chaneery court of the injunction as against him as executor of the said estate of Blanche Roland for the following reasons:
 First. Because complaint shows the chancery court to have no juris- diction. There is now no suit pend ing to recover upon the claim set out in the said complaint, nor can there be, under the statement of facts set forth in the complaint, any suit brought until the interest of his co-defendant, Anna Isabel Fin neran, be set aside to her.
 Secondly. 20 per cent. being the most plaintiff would realize out of the granting of the injunction, the court should not have ordered an injunction flor greater amount than could be recovered in the suit, the same being, as above stated, 2 per cent. The defendant further sets up the fact that he has about wound up the affairs of the estate, and the debts of said estate are now nearly all paid. He being desirous of closing up the said administra- tion ard being further desirous of turning over the proceeds thereof to the heirs entitled to same, and the iniuAction that has been grant ed and IS now in effect appearing to impede defendant in the exerclse of his duties as administrator and the closing up of same, he seeks the remedy allowed by law, either dis solution or modification of same.
 Defendant further prays the court in the modification of said in junction to limit the same to 20 per cent of the amount of the estate, that being the greatest amount plaintiff could possibly realize.

TUE BOARD OF EQUALlzA- TON FILE ITS REPORT
 AND RECOMMEND
slJRyEYOR BE APPOINTED
To Go Over County and Make an Accurate Survey of all Open
 and Cultivated Lands.

The board of equalization ad- ,aurned Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, after being in session near ly two weeks. Their work has been most complete and according to their report submitted to the county court of Jefferson county reflects credit upon the way in which they have given their undl- vided attention to the work that every citizen and property holder is vitally interested in. Their recommendation to the court that 3 county surveyor be appointed with the special mission of looking over the lard open and cultivated in Jefferson county in order that same may be justly assessed and the value put upon it by the board of equalization and it stand as seen by said board. The following is the report:
 To the Honorable County Court of Jefferson County, Arkansas:
 The undersigned members of the board of equalization beg to report to your Honorable Court that they have concluded thelr labors for the year 1899. And that the work of equalization assessments for realty has not been carried on with the facility that an intelligent idea of the location of all of the open eulti- Yated lands in the county would give. We have summoned witness. es and find a natural reserve and reticence on their part to furnish information that would tend to in : crease the assessment of their neighbors and the most persistent and dilligent inquiries does not give us the data necessary for an in- telligent and perfect equalization, and consequently we find it imDos- sible to give equal and exact jus tlce to all our citizens. The board, therefore, would petition the Hon. orable Court to have a competent surveyor to go over the entire county and make an accurate sur vey of all open or cultivated lands now in the county now standing on the tax books and being assessed as wild lands, and your petitioners will ever pray.
