A Mixed Case.

S. r. Taylor. colored, was before
Justice Cation this morning charged win
having secured money on fraudulentiy
executed deed. Taylor, it appears, claims
to be the grandson Of one and the gra"o
nephew of four old colored women,
Narcissa aud Ann Burwell and Susan
Cole and Patience johnson, the TWO
first named now dead, who lived
On south Alfred street. Recently he
called at the law Office of Messrs. Norton
and Boothe with will purporting TO
show that he property belonged to the
old women named. He soughtto make
loan of 5000 to pay some bills for lumber,
hardware. &C., and to buy stock OF
groceries with which to open a store.
He also brought deed acknowledged
before a notary in Washington, with
notarial seal, &C., from the old women,
all of which appearing to be regular,
loan in one of the building associations
was secured for him for 5000. Out OF
the money Messrs. Norton and Boothe
paid the taxes, material bills, &C.,
against the property aud gave the re-
naming $75 to Taylor, who purchased
a stock of groceries and opened store IN
the house where he and the old colored
women lived. Recently one OF the old
women died and the matter OF obtaining
money to pay the funeral expenses came
up. One of the women called on Messrs.
Norton and Boothe when, after some con-
yersation, she stated that Taylor was not
a relative OF hers or her sisters; that he
was comparative stranger; that he had
been living with them buta short time,
and that none OF them had signed the
papers on which Taylor had secured the
money. On this statement Taylor was
arrested aud brought before Justice
Cation this morning, when the case was
continued till witnesses in the case could
he summoned. Taylor, who had made
no effort to leave the city, was held.
He claims that he is innocent OF any
wrong doing and that if there is any,
thing wrong, it was done with the full
appreciation of some of the heirs OF Susan
Cole the real owner of the property.

Death of a L little Girl.

Geneva, the eleven -year-old daughter
of Mr.. Davis aud Mrs. Maggie Fewell,
died at her parents home, on south
Payne street, at 1890 O'Clock last night
She had been sufferer from complica-
ton of diseases and her death had long
since been seen to be inevitable. The hrm
faith of children 10 the face Of death is
often noticeable, and the scenes in con,
nection with the death of this little girl
we're peculiarly touching, those who per-
formed the last vigils being moved ct the
confidence of the sufferer as she passed
into the unseen no Id. The vista OF an
other realm seemed to open before the
child, and her last words we're express
sions anticipative of land where there
is no more death, crying or sorrow.

1t has been learned that proposition
is on foot to erect buildings for the col

of the District of Columbia, on land just
opposite this city. The matter is ceiore

it is said, has been referred to sub
committee consisting of Senator Martin
for report. Mr.. N. B. Harlow and a
number of Alexandrians will appear be-
fore Senator Martin tomorrow to oppose
the erection of the buildings on the site

number of paupers and criminals so near
the city would be most undesirable ana
the committee will urge Senator Martin
to have the colony located at some other
peiut in the District.

Raccoon Boards a Lion.

James A. McCallum has a mountain
lion that he is now willing to part
with to anyone as a gracious gift.
When he received the ~fne-looking
cougar a few days ago from a friend
in the Rocky Mountains he thought
that he had an animal that could whip
anything that wore hair, but when the
king of the mountain beasts was
fought to q standstill lately by an ordi-
nary old ring-tailed coon, McCallum
lost heart.
The lion was seen a few days ago in
his cage by Jack Cook. The lion tipped
the beam at 175 pounds, but Cook said
his old coon could lick him. The other
morning Cooks Dol was thrown into
the cage with the lion. The fight be-
gan at once. The lion made vicious
strokes with his paws at the coon, but
the WHY little animal proved to be an
adept at lodging all the blows. No
quicker would the blow Of the lion
prove futile than the coon would grab
him by the throat and begin to claw
with ali his might. He would soon
loosen his hold and jump away. This
was repeated for about twenty-five
minutes, when the lion, bleeding pro-
fusely, skulked to a corner and re-
fused to battle further.-Louisville
