Case on Trial at New Orleans.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 19.-The
right of the city of Natchez, Miss, to
convert a cemetery into public park
was questioned here yesterday in the
case of Thornton ct al VS.. the City of
Natchez, argued before Judge Par
LANCE, Mccormick and Shelby in the
United States court of appeals. The
ground was donated to the city for
burial purposes in 1917 by William
Rutherford and john B. MCNEIL,
wealthy merchants. One of the condi.
lions was that ii be forever used as a
burying ground. In 1890 the dead were
unearthel and moved, together with
collins and tombstones, to another
part of the city, and the cemetery was
turned into a park. In order to main
tain it's identity as a burial place the
authorities made hole in, Ole corner
of the park, put the bones of many OF
the dead into it, and erected mound
over them. Elizabeth Rutherford
Thornton and NJ. E. Thornton, the
hiers, now claim the city has lost the
title TO the property.

Her decks are drowned T13 d in 5nS sea-wreck'

There are dead in her gilded cabins,
there are white bones in her hold,
With the Golfers rotting plank from
plank, trimming DER with gold.
Broad O. the beam they built her, that
they might load her deep,
They sowed a goodlly harvest for the
They freighted her with merchandiiise.
with gold they weighted her well.
Ere they steered slowly to her bourne
their castled citadel.
Cod rest their souls where they lie low
where she swirled down of yore
With chanting priest and shrielSing slave,
a stones throw from the shore!
Nor all their piled-up ingots, nor all, their
gold could save
Under the cliff together, the Don and
the chained slave.
Far Ger the gray-green waters goes
sound of gull and gale;
White caps are on the breakers and the
sun on a patched sail;
But she lies lost and mouldered, with
her captains swart and bold
Dead in her gilded cabins, and weighted
down with gold.
