STOOD IN rTo STATES.
Auctioneer Sold a Farm Located In Della
Mnre and Pennsylyantn.

AuctiOneer Solu Farm Located In Della
ware and Penusylvania.
A curious sale was conducted Jointly
by Sheriff Taylor OF this county and
Shelf Hayes of Chester county, Pa, on
the boundary line near Corner Kerch,
last Friday. Ezra Fell, executor OF
the estate of Lewis Fell, deceased, held
a claim of So, 522 against farm of 98ls
ACRES belonging to Sarah A. Fell.
Owing to the shifting of tho State line
there was some difficulty in determin-
ing whether the farm lies in Delaware
or in Pennsylvania. The last line es-
tatlished by the joint boundary COM
mission, however, divided the farm in
two, leaving part of it in each State.
Owing TO this uncertainty as to the
location of the property execution wps
issued in both States against tine owner,
and the two sheriffs fixed the same
day and hour for the sale AT the ap-
pointed time the PARTIES interested met
ut the boundary line stone on the Fell
fam, An auctoneer stood over the
stone with one foot in Pennsylvania
and tho other in Delaware. Sheriff
Taylor and his associates stood over the
Delaware side, while Sheriff Hayes and
others remained ON Pennsylvania ter
ritoy.
'lfow much will you start this piop-
erty aty" shouted the auctioneer after
the terms of the sale had beon read.
'Fiye dollars an acre." replied a
man on the Delaware side.
Ten % chimed in Pennsy lvanian,
as he gazed at the other bidder over in
Delaware.
bid S3l per acre ~ called q fellow
with an air of confidence, and who
looked as though he might be an
attorney interested.
The farm was scld to the last bidder
and thus the sale ended, the sherilfs of
the two States settling their accounts
by halving the amount of the purchase.
The farm was purchased hy Charles W.
Smith, attorney, for S3, 043. 50.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Il had a pecu,far case in court the other
day said a lawyer from sister city
An old Irishman named Callahan had got
ten into a row with his landlord about
some repairs and refused to pay his rent
The landlord was a fussy little eX-college
professor, totally IMMERSED in the ways of
the world, and he was imprudent enough to
send word that he would have the family
eVicted and then called to discuss it per-
sonally. He emerged yelling murder, and
said that he had first met Mrs. Callahan
who told him her husband would do him
no harm, upon the strength of which he
had waited for his return. When Callahan
came in he promptly gave the visitor a
beating. The old Irishman and his wife
We're both arrested. and l appeared for the
defense The ugly feature of the case was
the alleged effort of the woman to lure her
caller into trap, but when put on the
stand she denied the landlords story in
toto, and swore point blank she had warned
him that her husband proposed to punch
his head. Both parties seemed perfectly
sincere in their statements and l was some
what puzzled. 1 finally decided to cross
examine the ex-professor. Now, repeat to
u.s. l said, exactly what Mrs Callahan
told you In regard to her husband She
assured me positively replied the land
ord, that he had no intention whatever of
molesting me- But she didn't say it in
those words I insisted: what l want is

witness, beginning to get hustered. she
gave me to understand oh! never mind
that, interrupted the judge give us her
own words. Very well, sir! Very well, sir,
exclaimed the little landlord desperately.

Brigands i'm the Caucasus.
From the New York Herald.

The Russian government has at last
adopted what promises to be an effective
measure for suppressng the lawless bands
of robbers who have for years past held
various districts of the Caucasus in state
of terror. Some two years ago the military
authorities at Tifiis came to the succor OF
the people by distributing arms and am
munition among them; in many instances
machine guns were furnished to the chiefs
Of mountain villages and isolated settle
nents in the plains. For time the raid
ing banditti suffered severe losses, but by
organizing regular pitched battles against
the villagers and settlers they again got
The upper hand. A body of $500 military
and mounted police. all picked men, has
now been organized for the special purpose
Of DISCRIMINATING the pest, which is particu-
!arly prevalent in the two governments OF
Kutais and Kars. No quarter will be
shown to the brigands Offering resistance.
and those taken prisoner will be tried by
court-martial and shot or hanged offhand.
