CELEBRATED CASE
AGAIN IS REVIVED
Motion to Set Aside Decree of
United States Supreme
Court.
Especial to Tho Times.pispatch.l

Especial to Tho Times Dispa tch.J
Ashevillc, n. c., November 1c.-Dat-
ing back to the year 1895, when Prince
Marshall Talleyrand de PeriGord, then
visiting this country. interested him
self in lands embracing 10000 acres
In Madison and Haywood counties,
this State, the celebrated case of Eben
Horsford ct al. VS.. j. Jackson Gudgc1
ct al, was revived yesterday in the
United States District Court, when
Judge James L. Boyd heard motion
to set aside a decree of the United
States Supreme Court. Issued twenty
years ago.
The records presented bore historic
value. in that they set forth that some
time prior to 1894 North Carolina
granted Stockley Donclson. a Scotch
man, $4,000 acres OF land in what is
now Eastern Tennessee. Subsequently
the land conveyed to John Love, who
in turn passed 1t on to two Frenchmen
named Gelstronne and L'Hommedieu.
Their plans of development attracted
the attention of Talleyrnnd, who came
to the United States In 1890, and he
invested with his two companions.
Talleyrund returned to France in 1895,
and 1t Is stated the estate went from
bad TO worse after the death Of Gel
stonne and L'Hommedieu. The titles
to the lands became clouded through
years of litigation, which finally went
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, whence a decree was issued
which apparently divided up the lands
among the rightful heirs. The ques-
tion at Issue is whether or not the
Supreme Courts decreo covered tho
entire acreage or only half thereof.
The Horsford figuring in the case
was formerly professor In Harvard
College. and Mr.. Gudger is the father
OF Representative Gudscr. OF this
state.

Lancaster Va, November 12.-The
Chesapeake Agricultural Fair, which
opened near kilmarnock last We'd

of the rain. The managers announce
that he fair will be resumed next
Tuesday and Wednesday, and that all

causing schools to suspend, and re-
ligious meetings to be postponed. AS
yet no deaths have resulted from the
disease. as among the white pcoplc.
The mcnhadcn fish factories on the
Rappahanock. the Great Wicomico and
their tributaries are beginning TO
close for the season, which has been
one of the most profitable in the his
tory OF the Industry. Instead of en-
ployinS tramp labor from the cities
as heretofore. these factories have dur
ing the past season, employed white
and colored labor from the Northern
Neck. This has made farm labor
rather scarce, but IL tends to keep
the money spent by these factories
very largely III the hands OF the home
people. AS result of the success
fui "cason. nearly all these fish fac
tories have increased their capital
stock and Will during the coming win
ter and spring enlarge their plant and
have new fishing steamers built

After the talk Nfllct NJ. Hays. assistan,

pointed. of which DR.. T.. +. Phillips. is
the chairman, the business of the COM
mittee being to make the region unattrac-
tive for flies and mosquitoes during the
coming summer.
DR.. Howard declared in the course of
his talk, that the essence of the whole
anti-1y and mosquito work was Scrupu-
lous cleanliness. He said that the three
settlements represented were an excel
lent place for a demonstration of that
sort because they were isolated to GER
tain extent from centers of fly contami-
nation. The best authorities. he said
agreed that the house or typhoid fly
would not travel over half mile and the
three settlements were that far removed
from other f1y-infeSted regions

that she has insisted upon entering it as

charming tale, and makes a strong point
of one of the problems that frequently
beset young people contemplating mar
