PROPERTY OWNERS LOST
In Condemnation Suit, and Now They
Charge the Railway with I'm
due Influence.

Monroe. Mich, Aug. 18.-In building
the Detroit extension of the Detroit,
Monroe and Toledo short line, electric
railway, the road had to condemn a
humber of pieces of property just
north of this city. The property own
ers lost, the jury awarding about what
the railroad offered to settle for.
J. j. Kiley, attorney for the proper
ty owners, filed an affidavit in the
probate court, alleging that on Aug.
6, Charles Hannah, an officer of the
road, took Sheriff Dull and a part Of
the jury over to Toledo on special
car to a theater, thereby unduly inf1u-
encing the jury, and he asked the
court not to confirm the decision of
the jury Sheriff Dull, who guarded
the jury, says he chartered the car and
took the jury for an outing as his per-
sonal treat and at his own expense.
The probate judge has not yet acted.

Barker. The Mayfower fred preai-
dents salute, as the barge cleared the
ship. AS the president went aboard
the Kearsarge his flag was broken out
at the main peak and every one Of the
twelve saluting ships in the fleet fired
a presidents salute.
After chatting with Admiral Barker,
and casually inspecting the Kearsarge,
the president before visiting the other
f1agships addressed the enlisted men
and officers of the ship. He thanked
them on behalf of the people of the
United States for their services to the
public, and said that all the work
done by the navy in peace should be
done with an eye to the day when it
might have to be done in war. He
referred to the Olympia and her serv-
ices in Manila bay and said that all
aboard had been equipped, from ad-
miral to enlisted men, during times OF
peace. AS he spoke of the admiral
he turned toward Dewey and bowed,
and Dewey bowed in return. He spoke
especially to the gun pointers, saying
that the shots that hit are those that
tell. After the speech the president
asked. the name and birthplace Of each
of the gun-pOinters.
He was cheered when he bowed, to
Dewey and as, he ceased speaking. On
the Olympia he also spoke to the crew
in similar vein. He then visited
the other ships in turn.

mother, Mrs. Mary Frame Selby, a
well-known writer and thinker who be-

she would not attend the services held

GRAND ARMY ENCAMPM ENT
San Francisco Treats the Veterans to an
Electrical Surprise at Night-Miles
Not Candidate.

San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-The mem
bers Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
Lie who have been arriving by every
train for the past week to attend their
thirty4seyenth annual national encamp-
ment awere treated to a genuine sur
prise at night. AS darkness fell the
electric current was turned on and
suddenly, as if by the call of.
magician's wand, the city was trans
formed from it's daily commercial as
pect into veritable aspect of delight.
The gothic arches spanning the prin-
cipal avenues, elaborate in their dec
orations and crowned with flags, sud
denly burst into bloom, each marvel
of color and artistic design. Posi-
bly, nothing finer had been seen in
the United States certainly nothing Of
equal beauty in this city.
The events of the day were of the
routine order, nothing special being on
the programme. st. Louis and Salt
Lake City are the chief competitors Of
Denver in the contest for the meeting
place Of the national encampment in
1904. The argument presented by st.
Louis that visitors to the G. A. 4. re-
union will also have an opportunity Of
seeing the Worlds fair has had much
weight, which may be shown when
the ballot is taken. The arrival Of
General Miles has added great inter
est to the occasion. The general, how
ever. still declares that he is not can
didate for chief and re-
iterates his previous statement that he
will not oppose the election of General

hap until just at it's conclusion, when
the torpedo boat destroyer Barry
rammed the destroyer Decatur, fortu-
nately, however, doing little damage.
The incident was exciting. 1t occurred
just as the moment when the president
was receiving congratulations upon the
success of the manOeuvers. Both the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt noted the
accident with great calmness, notwith-
standing the fact that their son Kermit
was on board the Decatur at the time
of the collision.
On Board the Reviewing Ship.
The review occurred on Long Island
sound, two miles and a half off the
entrance to Oyster Bay. President
Roosevelt, in company with Secretary
of the Navy Moody, Admiral Dewey,
Rear Admiral Taylor, Rear Admiral
Rodgers, Captain Brownson, General
Craffee and General Barry, stood on
the bridge of the auxiliary cruiser
MayfloWer as she steamed slowly
down one column of the warships and
up the other. The two columns eX-
tended $500 yards, the ships being
anchored at intervals of 500 yards.

In the two columns the yards and rails
of each were manned by jackies in

and presented arms, the presidents
salute of twenty-one guns was fired
the buglers sounded flourish, the
drummers gave four ruffies, the band
played Hail Columbia" and the entire
crew stood at salute. AS the Mayflow-
er swept past each ship the crew of
the saluting vessel gave the president
three cheers as the commander-in-chief
of tn army and navy of the United
States.
