The system was devised by Sir Robert
Torrens of England and nut in operatiou

it has been put in operation in other
countries. 1t was first introduced in

Under this system an owner Of land

CORPSE ON RAILROAD.
Chester County Has Another Murder nIys-
terry to Solve.

chester county Has Another Murder Mys-
terry to Solve.
West Chester. Pa, June 10. Il Chester
county has another murder mystery on
its hands. At an early, hour this morn
ing the body of colored man was dis
covered lying across the tracks Of the
Baltimore Central railroad, at the foot
OF the bridge just west Of the borough
of Avondale. 1t was identified as that
OF Henry Green, aged % years.
The only marks OF violence on tbs
mans body were deep cut about an
inch long above the right eye, showing
that he had been struck with shat
instrument, and q bruise on the back
OF the head, produced by the fall after
he had received the blow. assf
That the man could not have been
killed by a railroad train is proven by
the fact that his body was not in any
way mutilated. When found the legs
lay across one of the tracks, which
would indicate that the body had been
placed there after the passage Of the
tain due at that point at 1.30 o'clock
this morning. oyas.t
The next train did not pass the place
until six or seven hours later, and it
was the engineer of this train who dis
covered the body in the position de-
scribed. Deputy Coz oner Lipp of
Avondale took charge of the remains,
with instructions to empanel jury,
but to withhold the inquest until the
arrival Of Coroner Troutman and Dis
trict Attorney Baldwin tomorrow
morning.
1t is likely that two or three arrests
will be made tomorrow. Some men
seen in Green's company last evening
have denied knowing him.

In Magistrate Pritchetts court Sat-
urday Rhoda A. Biddle. colored, was
awarded $50. S3 in suit against the
Sarah White Home, sby which she
sought to recover tho $50 which sho

judgment represents the full amount of
the claim, With interest from February
10Th. The home. through its attorney,
will appeal the case to the upper court.
Under the rules of the home person
must PAY 500 to besadmitted. In the
case of Mrs Biddle she paid $50 for
that privilege, having had an under
standing with some of the managers
that she could do so. provided she
found her own butter and assisted with
the house work. After being admitted
the president of tho institution, Mrs.
Amelia Layton, and some of the man
ayers objected to her being there on
those toms and an action for trespass
was brought against her in Magistrate
Pritehett's court. The cnse was pend
ing in that tribunal for some time, the
magistrate postponing it from time to
time with the hope that the matter
would be settled out Of court. Finally
the case went 10 the City Court, where
Mrs. Biddlo was adjudged guilty of
trespass and fined So. after which she
left tho home. Now that she is out of
the home, and left In the manner in
which she did, she wants the money

school Election MIDDLE.

AZ the result of the recent school
election in District No. 81, Mill Greek
hundred, four Italians living in the
district have been summoned to appear
before Magistrate Kelley on the charge
of illegal voting, the ground icing that
they were not qualified to vote for
members of tho Legislature at tho last
election. Tho case was set for trial
last Saturday, but was postponed until
pext Saturday. At the election the
candidates for commissioner woro
Bernaid Duross and George Chandler
and Mr.. Duross was elected by ma
jority of one, hence the action in the
matter of the Italians, which was taken
Mt the instance of the Chandler people.
II is claimed by friends of Duross that
the law is conflicting, in that in one
part 1t requires qualification for the
preceding general election and in
another part permits women to vote.
The adjournment was taken in order
that the lists of qualified voters in the
district might be produced.

trolling magnitude, shows the con-
tlnuance of trade never equaled in

exchanges at all other POINTS run
steadily above those Of last year, very
LEV cities showing any decrease what
ever, and about 30 per cent above

gains of $50 per cent compared with
last year and 10 per cen. compared
with, 1895, and these gains are shared
by every section or class of road, and
by nearly every considerable system.
