Senator Bacon's Term Continues.

The credentials of Senator A. o. Bacon
Of Georgia, reappointed by the governor Of
the state for the interim between March 4,
when the senator's present term expires,
and the election of his successor by the leg
islature which meets in June next. were
presented to the Senate yesterday! The ap-
pointment will make Senator Bacon's term
continuous, whereas If the governor had
waited for the legislature to elect there
would have been a hiatus OF about four
montls. There are five precedents for the
appointment. The first was that of Senator
Bell Of New Hampshire, appointed in 1879
and contest was made against it. After
a hard fight Senator Bell was held to have
been constitutionally elected, despite the
fact that legislature to name a senator
had been elected prior to March 4, 1870
when Senator Bells term expired. The
other precedents were Senators Blair of
New Hampshire, in 1885; Pasco of Florida
in 1898; Mallory Of Florida, in 1903, and
Taliaferro of Florida, in 1895. In all of
these cases the ruling In the Senator Bell
case was held to apply.

STATE SUES DUSS.

Fight Pennsylvania.

Fight pennsylvania.
PITTSBURG. March Suit to eschcat
TO this state all the property of the Har-
mony Society of Economy, Pa, will be
brought in the name of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania Auditor General William
=. Snyder yesterday appointed Albert p.
Meyer of Pittsburg eScheater for this suit.
The property involved amounts to $1.OlOO00.
The ground of the suit is that there are no
lelrs.
John s. Duss. the bandmaster, whose con-
cert ventures in New York several years
ago will be remembered, is the only sur
viving member of the curious colony that
made the village of Economy famous.
Duss wife is now sole trustee of the prop
erty of the society. which was estimated
not many years ago. to be worth $1,000, OO0
or even more There have been many efforts
TO dislodge Duss and his wife from their
control of the waning community, but with
out avail.
The community, whose inhabitants are
better known by the name Economics
was established in Beaver county in 1924
George Rapp founded the sect in Wurtem-
berg. Bavaria, in 1900. He believed that
he was charged with the restoration of
Christianity to its primitive purity. With
some followers he came to America in 1903
and settled at Zelinople, Butler county, Pa.
They called their village Harmony. The
sect included 100 persons when II moved
to its present site, Economy. The sect once
numbered 500 individuals. and when Jacob
Heinrich. head of the society, died in 1892
the community owned about two thousand
five hundred acres of farm lands highly cul-
tivated. with factories and facilities for sup
plying all families with every need on a
communistic basis The village was in a
thriving condition. although even then It
had begun to decline.
The basis of the Harmonists' cult was
celibacy, like that of the Shakers.

WHEAT's ROW STILL STANDING

In the early days Of the capital city much
of that section of land designated as
square SOB, south, was known as Green
leafs Point from the fact that James
Greenleaf was one of the largest owners of
realty in the vicinity. This is within the
lines of N and o, AZ and 9th streets south
west, though for nearly fifty years the
south and west lines could be defined only
on paper, because o street was not cut
through, nor was 9th street, which, with
the river bank. was it west line.
When Mr.. Greenleaf acquired title in 1874
he changed the plans so that the seven
blocks contained forty-seven lots. Morris
& Nicholson. Thomas Law and Capt. Dun
canson were associated with the titles In
1895, in which year George Baker bought
four lots with a covenant to Mr.. .Greenleaf
to build thereon. About the same time
Patrick MARI bought lot 80 on Union street
and In 1895 John Buckley bought lot II at
the corner of 9Th and o streets and lot %
on Union street, with the privilege of
wharfng. John Ashley bought fifteen brick
houses erected in the square and Capt. Dun
canson mortgaged lot IS on N street for i'm
proving In 1897 R. Gridley purchased the
right of wharfage attached to lot 49, corner
of 9Th and streets; E. Burrow bought lot
ID, 9Th and c streets. on the river front. and
26 on Union street, and John Buckley lot 20
on M street. In 1908 lot IL, with two frame
houses fronting on the river, was sold to
Philip Tuell. Joshua Ward bought lot q
on Union street, and John Sinclair lots 20
and p on N street, southwest corner of
Union street. Sinclair was blacksmith
and he maintained shop on his property
for many years.

square was s cents per foot and on build

Francis & Co. consisted of the ~ street
buildings known as Wheat's row, which are
yet standing, and some of the houses on N

Some Early Owners.
Judge Cranch lived in what is now 46S N

Gree which he surrendered four years
later. The house adjoining, No. 470, about
1875 was the residence of Capt. w. NJ.
Duncahson. No. 48s was at one time oc-
eupied by Charles Bulfinch, architect of the
Capitol. and No. 47O by Thomas Dougherty,
clerk Of the House of Representatives, who
subsequently bought lots SO to IS, including
this house. In 1908 James Ross bought
