day, however he said that on July z
his client and Mccoy had been chat

five railroad bonds OF $1,000 each. and
said he'd like to raise some money on
them.
Mccoy volunteered to engineer the
deal and took the bonds Mr. Cold

CLAIMS LIBERTY BELL.
Heirs of John WiItbank Say Their Title
is Good,

| Philadelphia, Pa, July 23-1f any
further attempt is made by the city
councils of Philadelphia to send the old
liberty bell on junketing excursions. in
junction proceedings will be started by
the lineal heirs of John Wiltbank who
viii set forth the fact that the hell is
moi the property of the city. state or
nation, but the personal property OF
the descendants of the man who took
the cracked emblem as part payment of
a debt due him by the city of I'hila-
delphia.
The strange story be hind the claim
that is about to be asse rted is one law
yers say can be amply verified from his
torical records, journals of councils,
and the private papers of the Willbank
family. The three heirs that are pre-
pared to prove that the old bell Is
their joint property are Mrs. James
McCluskey, and Mrs. Sidney Wright.
| of Germantown. grandnieces of Wilt
bank, and niece who lives in Frook-
| ilyn.
| The task of ascertaiiing and proving
the claim, should the occasion arise,
has been entrusted TO Magistrate Jas.
E. German and H. Colbert Cassidy, as
attorneys for Mrs. Mctsluskey.
| Magistrate German, n explaining the
attitude of his clients. said:
These women. who are prepared to
assert that the bell Is, their own per-
sonal property, are thoroughly patriotic
and have no desire to remove tine bell
from the custody of the city. THEY are
| fearful, however, that in some of the
tjunketing excursions around the coun-
/ try the bell may be injured. and Tor this
reason they are prepared to take steps
| to stop this reckless carting of the bell
around.
I'm the first place, 1t is an erroneous
idea that the bell became cracked In
ltolling the death of Chief Justice Mar
shall In 1888. The damage YVES done
several years prior, when the bell was
sounding forth in celebration of the
visit of General Lafayette. The gen.
Ieral learned of the accident, alnd not
only declared that the bell should be
recast. but offered to defray he cost
himself. The city and nation refused,
but later the councils made an appro-
priat ton of $11,SO0 fol the casting OF the
rev bell. The contract was given to
.jOnn WlilDdHk. Will lilf
that he should take the old and cracke d
bell in part payment and should throw
off s400 from his bill. The new bell was
cast and now hangs in the town hall at
iGermantown.
"Wiltbank, in rendering his hill, said:
! Il will not destroy that fell Surely
some day Philadelphia will remember
| it for what it really is Wiltbank could
have destroyed 1t as a piece of junk
had he so desired. The metal was val
liable and the councils in that day APP
parently regarded it as little more than
/. old metal. Wiltbalk allowed the bell
! to remain in the possession OF the city
from patriotic motives, but he never
relinguished mis- claim to 1t. The claim,
of course, passed to his heirs who are
now prepared to again save he price
| less treasure from damage in the in
| Vulnerable junketiig excursions"

fast for the hunter to follow and was

lowed the blood trail, hopeful of a
short search and speedy bag. At one
point Of the pursuit it may he that the
trail grew faint and necessltated a

Paiase. OF waters


The principal Palace Of Waters is an
immense hall which stretches in mys-
terious grandeur far beneath the city
of Constantinople. Its roof is formed
of wide spanned arches supported on
massive marble columns. These stand
some ten feet apart. and their capitals
are elaborately wrought.
This marvellous building springs
from an expanse of waters winch un-
derlies the foundations of the city Tor
miles. Its origin and extent have been
shrouded in mystery ever since its dis
covery about seventy years ago, when
some Of the arches gave way. All at
tempts to explore by boat this marvel
of construction have been either fatal
or fruitless.
Another palace OF waters was the
stately Palace Of Ice which was built
in 1880 at the command Of Anne, en-
press Of Russia, to honor the nuptials
of the Prince Gallitzin and simple
peasant girl. In this novel palace
bride and bridegroom were housed, In
rooms of which the walls and furni-
ture and bed were constructed wholly
Of frozen water.

Ammunition Eired

Springfield, ILL.,, July 2S.-Several
thousand people at Camp Lincoln yes
terday witnessed the sham battle. The
sight was made realistic by the firing
of 10000 rounds of blank ammunition
and the blowing up of bridge across
a small creek.
The regiment was divided into two
forces. Major Clarity, with his battal-

attack by the first and second battal-

attacking force captured the explosives
that had been set to blow up one end
of the bridge. The explosives only
partially wrecked the structure. Gov
