NEWARK N J.. December a-Theo-
phile We'll OF Brooklyn has filed suit here
before Vice Chancellor Stevens against
the Trinity Episcopal Church to clear tie
title of property on which he desires 10
borrow $4,000. The suit reveals a cloud
on millions Of dollars worth of real es
tate lying between Elizabeth and Orange
mountains because of the failure of
lessee to pay TO the church one pepper
corn annually, as part of the terms of a
| lease.
| The trust company from whom We'll
sought the loan discovered that IN 1894
| all of tho land on which Newark aud
! the Oranges are built was given by the
King of England to four men as trustees
| for the colonsts. A son OF one Of these
| men became trustee. and in 1860 decided
| the property TO the first Presbyterian
! Church on the condition that il should
| forever he held for the coonists."
The First Presbyterian Church in 1874
| divided the property by deed among four
other churches and itself. Trinity Church
was given the oCO acres now compriS ne
the valuable Roseville section. In 1Si2
| Trinity Church needed Steeple and
sought to raise s2:H for that purpose. BE
! ing unable, under the terms of the deed
of 1850 to sell any of the property. the
church leased the fourteen acres now
comprising four very valuable city blocks
! for ninety-ntDe years on the payment Of
| SIT cash and one peppercorn each and
every year. and that at the end of II netl-
| nine years the lease would become per-
/ DetIIal on the payment to the church of
one peppercorn each and every succeed
ing year"
| The peppercorn has never been paid.
and the trust company refused to lend
on the property. Hence the suit to clear
the title.

Science Notes.

Three wireless stations are maintained
by the Swiss government I'm the Alpine
regions. located. respectively. on the sum-
mits Of Righi and ST. Gothard and at
Daily. above St. Moritz. The operation
of these stations has been attended with
great success, and vindicateS the state
ments that the Alps are great at
traction to messages dispatched from
stations in other and distant parts OF
Europe. For instance, marconigrams
from steamers in the Atlantic and from
stations In Cornwall and on the Baltic
coast have reached the Right and St.
Gothard stations. These long distance
messages arrive more frequently when
the weather is unsettled or stormy. and
chiefly in the early hours Of the morning.
On one or two occasions it has happened
that while two Swiss stations were I'M
able to establish wireless communication
with each other such messages were
picked up from abroad.
Startling results have been obtained by

O'Eiearn's statement that he would kill
