ClNCELS THE LEASE,

In the case of Knute r. Ber
ven ct al. VS.. the Southall Min
ing company ct AL, which was
brought to cancel a mining lease
granted to the defendant com.
pany for the southeast quarter
of section 1862 Is, for failure tc
comply with the terms Of the
lease. Judge Cant filed findings
yesterday in favor Of the plain
tiffs.
The terms of the lease were
that the Soulhall Mining com
pany agreed to open and work a
mine on the property, to pay all
taxes thereon, and to remove at
least 10000 tons of iron ore
therefrom each year for 25 years
commencing March /, 1897. A
royalty Of 16 cents ton was to
be paid upon the 10000 tons
whether mined or not, and the
same upon all ore mined in ex>
cess of that amount.
Judge Cant finds that there
are large deposits of merchant
able iron ore of the highest
quality existing on the land; that
the company has failed to per-
form its part an3a the lease should
be cancelled, and that the p!ain>
t:ffs recover $9,657, being the
amount Of. ROYALTY. and taxes.
The court finds that a Judgment
entered in district court in May.

burg and others, for labor per-
formed by them on the land, is
not lien thereon.

LEAVES THE PEST HOUSE.
Mrs. Eckcrt. Guaranteed for small
pox. Concludes She Would Rather
Live Elsewhere.


Mrs. Maggie Il. Eckert. of s1a East
her daughter Mile and George Hull.
was taken to the pest house last Mon
day, left her quarters Wednesday af-
ternoon and came TO the city. Chairman
Harris. of the health and sanitation
committee nf the council. was appraised
of the fact as soon as Mrs. Eckerr was
seen on the streets and Immediately
swore out a warrant charging her with
violation OF the rules of the board OF
health. In the meantime DR.. Nichols
found the woman and ordered her to
return to the pest house at once, which
she did. After the quarantine Is raised
the woman Will be brought before
Mayor Pierce to answer to the serious
charge now pending against her.
Mrs. Eckert is not Ill with the disease.
Neither is her daughter. but as Hull
was occupying a room in their apart
ments they were quarantined with him
Hull himself has hardly been Ill and is
now almost we'll. The excuse given by
Mrs. Eckert for leaving the pest house
was that she was not being treated in
the proper manner, especially when
they We're dangerously sick.
Frank Dixon, the young man who
was quarantined Tuesday night. and
whose case is probably the most severe
OF any in the city, was taken to the pest
house Wednesday night. He was per-
fectly willing to go, as was also his
mother. Mrs. Emma Dixon. DIR. Mich
OILS, who has the cases in charge now,
says that Dixon's case is the only one
that he could really take oath and pro-
nounce 1t genuine smallpox. While
some OF the others may be smallpox,
they are in very light form.

The arguments in the LeGrand depot

Palmer College chapel being used to
accommodate the large crowd in at
tendance. Almost as much enthusiasm
was manifested in the arguments as on
the occasion OF the recent hearing, ale:
tho of course there was the lack of a.
large number of witnesses necessary at
the hearing. However when the board
assembled upon the arrival Of Mr.. Daw-
son a motion of the counsel for the rail-
way company was introduced, asking
for a continuance until May Is, at LIE
Grand. The reason assigned was that
there had been misunderstanding in
regard to each side furnishing the other
with copies of its affidavits in evidence.
The motion was sustained by the COM;
lmissioners.
X 1t was anticipated that the hearing,
would begin carly this morning and
plans to that effect were made. Spec

sW1il1am Bokerss White Man With
a Colored Wife, HAs Narrow Es-
cape AZ Result of Morphine Poison
Ing.
William Baker, whose main acquisi-
lions In life seem to be the cocaine hab-
1T and a colored wife, had narrow es-
cape from death late Wednesday after
noon at SOP South Center street, where
he has apartments. The place seems to
be a resort for hop fiends,, mostly col-
ored. Baker helped along his cocaine
jag yesterday by means Of a solution of
morphine. and as q consequence the at
tending physician worked two hours to
keep him clear OF the hereafter. Baker
says he mistook the morphine for cough
medicine which he was taking for a
cold. The couple are lately from o stum-
wa. where Bakers parents reside, and
who furnished the pair money to come
away with, not caring to have their son
and his dusky helpmeet residents In
their home town.
A rumor, circulated to a small extent
during the evening hours, claimed that
Baker had attempted suicide, but this
seems to have been a mistake. At least

phase of the matter would indicate as

building a culvert over Rock creek, on the
line of Massachusetts avenue extended, and
it Is likely before many months the gorge
of the creek at that point will be crossed
by permanent causeway. This improve
ment Will be one of great Importance, as
furnishing direct means Of communication
between the western portion of the city and
the locality known generally as the Tenley-
town region. 1t was originally proposed to
erect bridge over the creek at this place,
but careful study of the situation well
as of the probable future of that section in
connection with the growth of the city led
to the adoption of the culvert as the best
practicable method of accomplishing the
desired results.
When the work is completed, Mas
sachusetts avenue. at its present full
width, will be extended over Rock
creek the banks Of the earthen
causeway Ger the culvert being adorned on
each side with grass and flowers with ample
space for sidewalks, aud provision for
driveway. Brlck walls Are now being con-
structed on each side aof the creek, the
distance between the two sides being fifty
feet The excavations for the walls
carried deep enough to reach the solid rock,
and upon such foundations they will rise to
a height of some thirty feet, and, with
curVlng top, meet over the center of the
stream.
Uniform Grade Secured.
The masonry will extend some 300 feet,
and at each end will be finished with gran
lite, SO that the openings of this tunnel-like
structure will have an ornamental appear
ance. Above the crown of the culvert the
ravine will be filled In with earth, so that
there will only be about per cent grade
to reach what are now the heights on the
west bank Of the creek, leading into the
grounds Of the naval observatory. There is
a good deal Of grading to be done in order
to open this thoroughfare> for travel. and
the earth which will be removed will be
used in filling up the hollow over the cul-
vert so as to bring the new roadway to
level with that Of Massachusetts avenue.
The treatment of this section differs from
that at the line OF Connecticut Avenue, over
Rock creek. where workmen are engaged in
excavating for the foundations Of the hand
some bridge which is to span the valley at
this point. This difference is due mainly to
the fact that in the vicinity Of the proposed
Connecticut avenue bridge the park prop

the republic without paying his debts or
sponsible representative A judgment had
been obtained against May.
The department responded to this mes
sage, On the basis of the affidavits filed in
the case, with one to Mr.. Hunter, recitng
that May had undertaken to leave behind
him an attorney of record If this state
ment is substantially correct, then Minister
Hunter is directed to Immediately demand
that May be allowed to leave the country.
Mr.. May sent to the State Department an
affidavit in which he says that he is q
citizen of Mississippi, temporal ily residing
in Guatemala, where an arbitration has just
been determined in his favor by the British
minister, Mr.. Jenner. After that matter
had been decided, May left Guatemala
City and went to Port Barrios, where on
the Goth ultimo he attempted to embark on
the steamer Saltwater for New Orleans.
He had procured a passport and had APP
pointed an attorney Of record in the per-
son of William +. Fuqua to represent him
in the country in any judicial process
against May. When he (May) was elected
from Guatemala, October 2S, by the mill
tary authorities, he owed his employees on
the Northern railroad about $4,000 Guate-
malan money, which he was unable to pay
on account of the failure of the Guatemalan
government to pay him $i43, 80 American
gold lately awarded him. One James VIII
kinSon sued May, and secured q writ of de-
tention, fOrbidding him to leave the country
until his claim was settled. May says that
article "A Of decree 273 is the only proviso
under which person can be prevented
from leaving the country, yet that article
permits departure when an attorney of rec
ord Is appointed. May says that he was
prepared with a formal instrument, and
presented 1t to the Guatemalan officers,
showing that he had appointed such at
torney in the person of Mr.. Fuqua. Not
withstanding this, says May. Il was forci-
bly, seized, pulled off the gangway of the
ship, and thereby prevented from coming
to the United States, and am now detained
at Guatemala
