Mistake in Boundary.


| But for a mistake of the surveyors Erie
| might be a part of Ohio or part of
New York. In 1875 joint commissioners
were appointed to ascertain the boun-
dairy line between those two states Two
years later they reported that they had
Snarked II with milestones from the
Delaware river to Lake Erie, two hun
dred and fifty-nine miles and e:ghty-eight
perches. and that each milestone was in
scribed with the distance from the Della
ware river. In 1883 the assemblies of
both states ratified the report of the conn
| missioners and the line marked by their
| m iestones has since been recognized as
the boundary
The boundary between Pennsylvania
and Ohio was established in a similar
manner, line being run from the Ohio
river to the lakes, which was accepted
and ratified and stands today. Some
years later, however, 1t was discovered
that the two lines did not meet A tri-
angle including about two hundred thou
sand acres had been omitted and still be-
| longed to the Federal government After
much agitation and controversy the state
of New York relinquiShed it's claim and
| the state of Pennsylvania completed
what was known as the Erie purchase ;
| by which what is known as Erie county
| became part of that great common
wealth and gives il access to the great
| lakes A map attached to the deed shows
| ii TO contain 202. 1871 acres and il cost
| 1851, 64O.25, little less than IS cents an
acre.
With other great historical events for
| which Erie is famous is the invent on of
| the curved pitch in base ball At the
| commencement of Western Reserve Uni
versity. the other day ! met the inventor,
| or rather the developer, who was Clar-
/ ence Emir Allen of the class of II now
general manager of the United States
| Smelling and Refining Company of Salt
| Lake city. and he told ME about it.
| Mr.. Allen came from Girard, the next
| door neighbor of Erie, where Dan Rice.
| the famous circus man. used to live, and
during his vacations earned money to
! pay for his education by pitching for the
[ Erie base ball nine, one Of the first pro-
| fessional teams in the country. He was
paid $50 month. and in addition to this
| liberal compensation enjoyed the adora-
! ton of the entire population.
| Mr.. Allen says that he is not the orig
inator of the curved pitch. for he saw
it used by a young man who pitched for
a team that came to Erie to play.
Developed the Curved Ball,
| My brother told me about two years
before that he had seen a man pitch a
curving ball. but l did not believe him,
and when l noticed that occasionally the
youngster who was pitching for the team
we were playing would send a ball that
curved inward or outward INST before II
reached the batter l became interested
and watched him very closely. After the
game was over / asked him how he did
| IL and he si1owed me that II was done
by twist of the fingers. When I went
back TO college developed that curve to
perfection. and ii was first used in q
game our college team played with a
country nine In the fall Of 1Sl6. 1t work

Story of the Massacre.

Mr.. II. L. Harvey, formerly editor
of the Erie Observer. gives the follow
ing version of the same event: 1.-THE
troops retired TO their quarters to pro-
cure their morning repast; some had
already finished. and were sauntering
about the forest or upon the shore of
the lake. knock was heard at the
gate. and three Indians were an
nounced In hunting garb. desiring an
interview with the commander. Their
tale was soon told. They said they
belonged to hunting party. who had
started for Niagara with a lot of furs
that their party was encamped by a
small stream west of the fort, about a
mile. AMI where they wished the COM
mander to go and examine their pei
tries, IL was difficult to bring them,
and they wisned 10 embark where they
were IL they d.. not trade. The com
mander. accompanied by a clerk left
the fort with the Indians. charging
his lieutenant that none should leave
the fort and none be admitted until his
return.
After the lapse of sufficient time
for the captain to visit the encamp-
ment OF the Indians and return, a
party of the latter, variously esti-
Iaated-probably l50-advanced to-
ward the fort. bearing upon their
backs what appeared TO be large packs
of furs which they informed the lieu
tenant the captain had purchased and
ordered deposited in the fort. The
stratagem succeeded: when the party
were all within the fort 1t was the
packs and the short cloaks which

the sureness of the crop. The
quality is as fine as that grown in
any state. The fickleness of the
broomcorn market is the most
serious drawback to the extensive

BROOMCORN

ia reports a good demand for brush
of the better grades, with the
price ranging from $l35 to 5000.
In the Arcola, Ill district, a crop
sold last week for 5000, but it is
said that a number of the produc-
ers there have not yet received a
bid for their crops. 1t is reported
that there are numerous conflict
ing opinions as to the condition Of
the western market, one day re-
porting a break and the next day
an advance. There has been but
little brush of the first quality
marketed here during the past
week, and it is difficult to say what
would have been bid for the
choice hurl. The demand has been
better and there are more buyers
active on the market more than
two weeks ago.
From the interior of Hungary
comes the report that the farmers
are holding their crop for $50.
This will at least tend to put off
the importation of broomcorn I'M
til all of the domestic crop is mar
keted. The reports from other
foreign countries show IL decided
bull tendency, all of which should
serve to advance the markets here.
The crop in Turkey is poor, and
suffered from wet weather and
floods. The Illinois crop is short
this year, and the quality not as
good as was anticipated, owing to
the heavy rains over the entire
district during the late season.
The southwest is also in the short
crop class. as we'll as other dis
tricts.
The top of the market for the
past week at Englewood is re-
ported as 1925 per ton.
Some months ago broomcorn
buyers went through the broom
corn growing section of southwest
Kansas and contracted for the crop
at rate of from 800 to 500 per
ton. At that time the price looked
good to the farmer. 1t was better
than the market price at the time
of making the contract and there
had been years when the price of
brush had gone away down just
after harvest. So it seems that a
good many farmers signed the
contracts.
After harvest the price of brush
began to rise. 1t kept going up
until, in the slangful language of
the bully west, it was higher than
the back of the enraged feline.
The price of choice brush went to
5000 per ton.
1t was trying time for the
farmer who had signed a contract
to deliver his brush at 500 per
ton. Nature hadn't smiled on him
to any considerable extent for
good many years. He had had to
do some mighty hard pulling to
make the two ends of his income
and expenses meet and sometimes
they simply wouldn't. Now for
man in that situation to have to
take half the market price is
mighty grinding and he has to be
a man of extra 6bre if he will stick
to his bargain and grin and look
pleasant.
Still, suppose the price had gone
the other way, aud the market
price of brush at selling time had
only been $50 per ton, as has
been the case in some years that
are passed, the farmer would have
expected the contractor to stand
to his bargain and pocket his loss.
am not inclined to contracts
of this kind on general principles.
1t makes a gamble of the business
and a trade, IN which one party or
the other is nearly certain to lose
money, is not satisfactory trade.
If the parties to it are game they
will stand by the bargain without
