CHoCTAW NATION SEEKS TO RE.
COVER ON RIGHT OF WAY
ROAD CLAIMS A GRANT BY CONGRESS-
ChoctaWs Want to Fare as Well az the
Crecks-involves One Hundred and
--Tams Bixby a Witness


ATOKA: A case of wide interest
to the Choctaw nation has been insti-
tuted in the court OF the central dis
trict. 1t is suit filed by that ma
ton against the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railroad company for the value
of the right of way of that road
through the nation, together with all
ground used for stations and termin-
ais.
The Choctaw nation has never re-
ceived pay for the land used by the
NJ, X. L. T. for this right Of way and
settlement. The railroad company will
contest the suit on the ground that it
was given grant by the United
States government. But the Creek
nation got settlement with the NJ.
X. 4 T., and now the Choctaws want
been paid. The NJ, X. & T. has 130
miles Of right of way running through
the Choctaw nation which is involved,
as is the land used for station pur-
poses.
The action was brought about be-
cause Of the failure OF the Dawes COM
mission to allot the lands that are
thus occupied by the railroad COM
pany. None of the land claimed by
the railroad people has ever been al
!otted, and it is understood that no
allottee has ever asked it so, though
law which says such right of way
shall become the property of the rail-
way company instead Of the Choctaw
nation. 1t is on this allotment point
that the fight is to be made. The
chairman Of the Dawes commission
has been summoned to appear in
court as a witness, and is expected to
produce all the official correspond
ence that has ever passed relative to
the allotting of lands used by the
railroad company.
OF recent years the NJ, X. & T. has
Strengthened out lot of track, and
thus abandoned the old right of way,
but the company still claims title to
1t. All right Of way acquired since
1899 has been by condemnation, and
there is question OF title about this.
The suit involves the title to all sta.
tion grounds and right OF way claimed
by the railway company which was
not acquired by condemnation.

NUTMEG GRATlNCS.
Interesting Items Boiled Down For
the Benefit ofour Easy Readers.

AT Plainyille the tracks of the High
land division are being connected with
those of the Northampton division by
a new piece of track east of the sta
ton, affordfng an easy connection be-
tween the two divisions. This change
is made on account OF the new plan or
running through Central New England
trains by way of New Britain, Plain
vile and the New Hartford branch.
When asked by New Haven Pal
ladium reporter last evening whether
he thought the Connecticut National
guard would participate In the regular
army maneuvers next summer, Briga-
der General Russell II Frost said that
there is strong probability that they
will The fact that the New York
militia have declined the invitation il
in favor of the Connecticut soldiers
and the cost to send the men to Niun-
tic General Frost believes that the
prospects are excellent for eight days
service by the Connecticut National
guard in the coming maneuvers
1t is believed that the abandoning of
the Fishkill terminal and ferry of the
Highland division of the Consolidated
railroad will mean loss of at least
600 people to tllo aOwn of Fishkill.
About 125 dwellings in that town are
occupied by Highland division en-
ployes, and at least 200 railroad men
board In the village and its vicinity.
The railroad pays the village $1,000 a
year water rent and $1,000 in taxes. 1t
is expected that this will all be lost to
Fishkill after May 81, when the
changes go into effect and the business
of the road is transferred to the Pough.

Pawson park property on the east
shore near Bradford, which was leased
recently by Commander Frederick l.
AveriIl of New Haven for q term of
slxty-flve years, Is not to be turned
into a public pleasure resort, a s was
expected, but Is to be developed into
the purposes of new country club.
When the property was purchased 1t
was believed that the park would be
made into pleasure resort, but the
plan announced on Monday shows that
the land is to be used for other pur-
poses. A joint stock company Is being
organized among the members of the
summer colony Mt Indian Neck and
other summer places in the vicinity OF
Branford. A club house is to be
erected at Pawson park, and golf links
laid out on the property.

COURT WAS PUZZLED.
When An Italian Witness Gave His
Name as pat"

Quite frequently expressions of SUR
prise are heard when q man of no
English speaking nationality calls him.
self Tom, Dick or Harry or some 9TH
er name distinctively foreign to him.
Yesterday in the superior court an
Italian witness was called to testify
in the case of Attorney Bauby, admin
istrator, against the railroad company.
Mr. Bauby is administrators of the es-
tate of Donate Furelli who was killed
by train on the Meriden road. The
case Is for $1,000 damages.
''What is your name" the man was
asked and he said in decidedly broken
English, pat
Everybody smiled for "Pat" is not
an Italian name, and Clerk Marsh
hesitated to enter the name in his list
of witnesses.
1.-THE man probably means Patrick"
suggested Judge Thayer.
rs your name Pat or Patrick" he
was asked by Mr. Bauby.
Pat" said the italian with an EN-
phasis that left no doubt what he
said, and that he knew what he was
saying.
"You say Pat is your name7" he was
again asked.
Sure" was the answer, short and
crisp.
Judge Thayer was still puzzled.
"Aslx him. said he, IF he was
christened Pat?" Attorney Bauby ask
ed him,
"Sure, was the reply. That settled
the question and the man began his
evidence.

BISHOP MERRILL. RESIGNS.
Il Minister for Fifty-nine Years, He
Is Ready 20 Retire.
my TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIsUSE-l

Los Angeles. May 6.-Bshop Stephen NJ. Mer-
I'll, senior member Of the Methodist Boaro OF
Bishops, resigned his bishopric to-day AFTER serV-
ing the Church in that capacity for thirty-two
years when it was announced that Bishop
Merrill wished to speak, the delegates stood as
mark Of reverence. and the Bishop read fare
well address. He said in part
when ! vyos "a presiding elder. of the most
delicate 1hings with whch ] had to deal was the
appointment Of aged ministers 20 act over ch,lIse
ole MAS 5rou En- 80 !, his matter is the
same to-day then. and must pIaclse
what preach The supeIannuated relation has no
better Than the ncn-effective.
Bishop MerriI's petition for retirement said
that he was IN the seventy year OF his life
and the ffty-ninth If his ministry.
On motion Of Dr. Buckley. of New York the
request was referred TO the committee episco-
pacy. in which appropriate action in recognition
OF the bishops services viii he taken.
The provision to redistrict the boundaries of
the various annual conferences was debated for
two hours at the morning session. and referred
TO the committee on boundaries The delegates
were almost two hours in finding out that the
rules specifically provide that all questions
lating 70 the boundaries of annual conferences
shall go before the committee boundaries,
and when one of the delegates read the rule 10
the conference there was general laughter and
not little chagrin on the part of those who
had spent considerable oratorical efforts to show
why this particular resolution should go TO this
particular committee.
When the resolution had been disposed of the
session adjourned TO meet tomorrow at the
usual hour.
Friends of plan TO consolidate the Methodist
publishing houses into one concern said tonight
that they had majority OF delegates
pledged to their support This follows the cleo
tion yesterday of J. ". Rashford. chairman, and
j. A Patton, secretary, Of the book concern
committee. who favor the scheme and makes
certain hot fight in open conference. The OPP

delegation
The progls fnIne Of those who favor centraliz-
ing the publication of Methodist books now
contemplate establishing the publishing house
tn Chicago under the ma cement OF Pye &
Jennings, who conduct the Cincinnati house.
The effort clearly is calculated to discontinue
the New-York publishing concern and strip
Eaton & Mains. of New-York of publishing re-
sponsibilities. II is said that the consolidation
movement owes its origin partly to the recent
book publishing scandal at San Francisco that
caused the suspension from the ministry OF
