The Tennessee Company.

Another suit which will probably be brought by the government is against the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company for s244 0OO for coal taken from eighty acres of land.
 The investigation leading up to the suit was an exceptionally complicated one, in- asmuch as the land from which the coal was taken had been sold by the govern ment to the Alabama State Land Com pany. and it was not until the purchasing firm sent an expert to look over the pur chased territory that it was discovered that the land was probably worthless, as it was being worked by the Tennessee Company. As soon as the latter saw that the matter would be reported to the gov ernment they tore up the railway tracks. pulled the pumps and filled the mouth of the mines with slack taken from other mines. thus giving it the appearance of having never been worked. The Alabama State Land Company, being confident that the mine had been worked, went to the expense of about $400 to drill 199 feet deep in order to ascertain if such was the case. After reaching that depth the drill drop ped about three and one-half feet, show ing plainly that the land had been mined to that depth. The Alabama State Land Company then complained to the govern ment that they had been given an empty shell, and as the trespess had been com mitted while the government held the title, they could not recover damages.
 The matter was immediately placed in the hands of Special Agent Forbes, who took the testimony of about seventy-five miners in the employ of the company, who had worked in the aforesaid mine He also secured the services of Messrs. Wilson and Motley of Birmingham, min ing engineers, with the results above stated.

The Viruinia Company.

The government, through Agent Forbes, has discovered other alleged trespasses on it's lands by Alabama coal companies. On this same tract of land a trespass is said to have been made by the Virginia Coal and Coke Company That company thought 1t was trespassing on the Corona Company's lands, and, upon the protest of the latter, paid a satisfactory amount for the coal mine. This did not end the mat ter, however. as the land did not belong to the aforesaid company, but to the gov ernment, and the Virginia Company is out the amount paid the Corona Com pany. The government considers them willful trespassers, and will bring suit against them for 13,4OO tons of coal at its full value after being placed on the cars, which is s1, and suit will accordingly be brought for $13400

THE TENNESSEE COMPANY
To Be Sued for Large Amount-The Virginia Coal and Coke Company Has Hard Luek-Agent
 Forbes Work.

The controversy between the Corona Coal and Coke Company and the govern ment as to the title to eighty acres of land Is still unsettled. The land was bought at private sale on March ', 1885, Three days prior thereto Congress passed an act prohibiting private sales of gov ernment land. The agents who sold this eighty acres were unaware of this act and the land was bought in good faith. and subsequently came into possession of the Corona Coal and Coke Company.
 Recently Special Agent Charles T. Forbes of the general land office, who has been looking after trespassers on coal lands belonging to the government dis covered that the title to this eighty acres was not perfect and notified Henry B. Gray and T. c. Culverhouse, receivers of the company, to cease working this land and also another tract of 160 acres which the company was working. Re- ceiver Henry B. Gray recently went to the land office at Washington and had the titles to this 160 acres perfected, the defect being mere technicality as to proof of entry. The land commissioner refused to allow the titles to the eighty acres to be perfected, and an appeal was taken by the receivers from this decision to the Board of Equitable Adjudication, which is composed of the commissioner of the general land office, the attorney general and the Secretary of the interior. No decision has yet been rendered by this board.
 The land commissioner however, con- sidered this company as ignorant tres passers as to the eighty acres and will therefore only charge royalty of ' cents per ton on all coal taken from the mine, which will amount to about $1O57O. The government had 1t seen fit, might have claimed the full value of the coal. which would amount to about s15009O

MRS. ELIZA ALEXANDER.

We were shocked to hear of the
death of Mrs. Alexander at her
home near Webster Mills on Fri
day evening, November 4. Her
age was 20 years and | month.
Interment at the Union cemetery
on Sabbath afternoon. Mrs. AL
exander whose maiden name was
Eliza Bivens, was born in Fulton
county, and was married to Mr..
Andrew Alexander, deceased, of
Ayr township. She is survived
by four children-Mrs. Amanda
Unger of Franklin county and
Mrs. Annie Peck, James, and
Miss Jane, of this county.
Although not strong physic-
ally for many years, there was
no evidence, up to the moment of
death, that she was not as well
as usual. A few moments after
leaving her daughter in the kitch-
en-, she was found sitting on the
couch in the sitting room, dead.
Through the tender mercy of her
God she had been saved what we
mostdread-long nights and days
of suffering and weary waiting.
Mrs. Alexander was a faithful
member of the Presbyterian
church for AZ years, and gave
evidence of this in being seen so
frequently at Sc. vice after having
made the journey from her home,
six miles distant, on horseback
every extreme of weather.
OF such it is written: She that
overcometh shall inherit all
things.
To the family, in which death
has entered three times during
the past year, we offer our ten
derest sympathy.
