THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 93, 1873, (88 DUEL IN ATLANTA. One of the Parties Seriously, If Not Dangerously, Wounded--Full Partice ulars of the Affair and Its Origin, From the Atlaots (Ga.) Herald, Oct. 19. On yesterdsy evening the entire communil was startled by n;gort that Mr. Houston T. Force and Mr. J. H. Townsend had fought & duel, and that the last named gentleman had been seriously, if not fatally, wonnded. Below we give full and aunthentic particulars of the cage: So far a8 can be gathered from the mass of conflicting statements which have been placed before s, it eppears that on Monday evening, while at the Episcopal Bazaar, Mr. Wallace Haskell, of this city, in & playful manner, and, doubtless, without meaning to give offence, slightly pinched the arm of & young lady well lmown and very popular in Atlanta eociety. But, however innocent of intent to give offence he might have been, the act was oenuinlg reprehensible, and natarally gave the lady muc mortification and chagrin.” She promptly in- formed & %:nuem of her acquaintance that she had been insulted, and Le, with equal promptness, sought Mr. Haskell, for the pur- gosu of demanding an +explanation and apology. ust here the statements on both sides materi- ally differ. Mr. Haskell aseerts that he made an’‘ample apology to the lady’s friend, and sn&)— posed that the matfer had been EBblsfMtDt"‘[y gettled. On the other hand, Mr. Houston T. Force insists that Haskell never did make an spology for the offence. ‘But, be that as it may, the story of the insult offered came to the ear of Mr. Force, who is said to be affianced to the young lady in questiom. As might be supposed, he was considerably in- censed, and at once approached Haskell, and took him to task for his conduct. Here agab the accounts. are conflicting. Mr. Haskell, in his card, published yes y, Bays, * Shortly efter this, Houston Force came tome, and ex- pressed himself dissatisfied sbout the matter, and angry words ensued between us.” Mr. Force, in his card, published this morning, says tha} Hazskell offered to apologize, but that he (Force) replied that the young lady would not accept sny apology. The affair here became yery much confused. One thing is certain, and it is that when the two parties separated no very pleasant feclinga oxisted between them. On E‘u sday morning, sbout 10 o'clock, Mr. Haskell, in company with Mr. George Force, & brother'of Mr. Houston Force, was welking up ‘Whitehall street. As the pair came abreast of the drug store of H. C.Yope, Mr. Houston Force sallied out, armed with a stick in one band and a revolver-in the other, and began beating Mr. Haskell, who retreated into the Jewolry store of Mr. Floyd, followed by his as- szilant. The encounter then terminated, £8 out- siders prevented its continuance. Tho seme de, feeling aggrieved b tho troat- ment to which he had been subjected, DIr. Has- Xell sent a challenge to Mr. Force, through the hands of his friend, Mr. J. H. Townsend. Inre- sponse to the hostile note, Mr. John R. Hart, representing Mr, Force, declined to receiv the chellenge, slleging, asa reason, that Mr. Has- kell was not a gentleman. At the same time ha declgred himsalf ready to give Mr. Townsend any eatisfaction that hio might demend. Mr. Townsend promptly replied, &chring his readi- ness to take the place of Mr, Haskell, and sent a letter by the hands of Mr. Joseph H. Smith, of this city. Mr. Hert declined receiving the chal- lenge from the gentleman last named, whore- upon Mr. Haskell, in the Heraldoi yesterday, blished all the correspondence, snd wouad up y ‘“posting " Mr. Force ag ““s miserable scoun- drel and poltroon.” This cerd, which was published in the Herald of yesterday morning, created great escitement throughout the city, and was the topic of con- versation everywhere, Under every rule of the % Code of Honor” the matter ought to have Tested there, or been limited to Messrs. Forco end Haskell and Messrs. Hart and Smith, But it seems that Mr. Force and Mr, Townsend were both ill-adviced by the gentlemen they selected to act for them, 'Wo do not wish to be under- stood as teking sides in this unhappy affair, but o would be derelictin our duty as journalists did we not express the opinion that the parties who advised a duel were most censurable. Not the slightest necessity existed for one. The honor of nsither gentlemen required one. We should not omit mentioning that, 88 _soon as he became aware of the connection of J. H. Townsend with the Haskell-Force imbrogllio, our much esteemed fellow-towneman, Colonel W. 8. Townsend, had all the parties concerned, in- cluding his son, taken before a Justice-of-the- Peace and bound over to abstain from fighting. Buppasin&’ that the matter was ended, Colonel Townsend gave himself butlittle farther trouble, except to exercise some supervision' on the w.wvements of his son. y nowever, J. B. Townsend and Houston Force were both excited by the events which had tran- spired—the former because of the double insult which had been offered him in stigmatising his principal, Mr. Hackell, as ‘“no gentlemsan,” and, Dext, in refusing to receive his challenge from the hands of his friend, Mr. Smith. Mr. Force was also naturally exasperated at having been ¢ posted,” and there does not sppear to have bean en wanting to persusde both gentlemen that & el between them wes s necessity. It is said that in an office in this city the parties met and there complsied arrangements for a meeting to take place in the evening. : The weapons egreed upon wers double-bare reled shot-guns, loaded with eight buckshot in each barrel, and the distance fixed at forty peces. The place selected for the meeting was none other then m in front of the Cemetery gate, within the limits, not only of the State, but of the city itself. Mr. Hart being indisposed, Bfr. C—, a gentleman tempo: sojourning ere, consented to act &s the second of Mr. ‘orce, while Mr. W—, of this city, scted s8 Mr. Townsend's second. In this connection, we would state that Mr, Haskell and Mr. Smith were both ignorent of {he purpose to fight, snd took no pert whatever, either in the prelimine- ries or in the nctusl ocenrrence. his We are reguested $o state, as a matter of justice to the two gentlemen named. It 18 proper to remark that Mr. Force express- ed himself reluctant to meot 3Ir. Townsend, on the ground that not only were_ they members of the same family, but he had misgivings as'to the propriety of fhe meeting. Rumor, however, Bdds that sethe hour approachod, Mr. Harf being then sick, and Mr, C. not hsving then con- sented to act, Mr. Force received a notification that he would be given twenty minutes in which to reach the duelling ground. Nothing, there- fore, remained but for him to fight or justify the ¢ posting.” What truth there is in this sto; %ve were unable to learn Iest night, If true, 1t reflects credit upon Mr. Force. ! Just_before sunset two carriages contsining the principals and their seconds and 2 surgeon started for the appointed place. On alighting fn front of the cemetery gate Dr. —— endeavor- ed to effect a mmfi]mmim and bring about & re- nonciliation, but his efforts in this regard were unavailing. DBoth gentlemen evidently ghrank from the ridicule which might have been Tevelled at them had they returned without fight~ ing, and &o they resolvad to fight. * Nr. W— and Mr. C— measured out the etipulated distance of forty paces, loaded the 8, and placed their principals back to back. E?enszra. Towneend and Force were cool and col- lected, both wearing an gir of courage and calm determination. Rumors, it is true, are afloat that one of the parties labored under the influ- ence of liquor to such_an extent as to render bim unfit to fight. We are, howeyer, assured that these stories are wholly false, Both parties bad been drinking during the day, but neither of them were intoxicated. The evening was & calm, clear and besutiful e ope. Inthe distant west the sun was slowly sinking to rest, painting the few clouds with crimson and gold. Back to back, fronling the semietery, at forty paces distant from each other, holding their weapons in their Lands, stood the two misguided young men. Near by were the carriages, at one sida;fuo:l the two seconds, in the centre was the surgeon, and a little further off were two or three gentlemen who witnessed the duel. A brief pauso ensued after the principals took their places, both standing erect and_displaying marked intrepidi It seemed as if Mr. W., one of the seconds npon whom devolved the qnly of carrving ont the duel, was reluctant to give the word which might have sent two human beings into eternity at a moment when both were s0 little prepared to meet Almighty God. He hesitated and paused forawhile, but finally £he word came out, ¢ Are you ready, gentlemen 2" An affirmative reply was given. “*One, two, three!” As the numerals were uitered Mr. Force promptly faced his antagonist, and, levelling his gun, fired. Either because Lo was ignorant of the rules of the code, or because he did not hear the ‘“word,” Mr. Townscnd failed to turn in time. He tas just in the act of turning when he received three of the eight buck-shots in_his left elbow and just bencath the left shoulder blade. He, however, turaed completely round and fired, inetinctively, but wildly, as he fell to the ground, serionsly wounded. No eooner did Mr. Townsend fall than Mr. Force threw down his gun and ren over to him, &s did the other gentlemen present. An affect- ing reconciliation took place between the two, tley shaking Lands and expressing remewed friendship. Br. Townsend declared himeself sat- istied with the manner in which his opponent bed scted, while 3Ir. Force expressed the deep- 3;: upcssibls regret at having been compelled to i oung men was placed in the o wounded 3 mpemied by the surgéon and fr. Forss, was rapidly conveyed to his father’s Tesideaps i this city. He seemecd much ex- hausted, snd complained of pain in the back, On entering the house, Mr. Force, who assisted Mr. Townsend in, repeated his declarations of Sorrow for what had occurred, and ssked the fomily not, to entertain any unkind feelings towards him forit, at the same time offering them hishend. : Tt would be easier to imagine than to describe the consternation and agony of the family, when ihe unfortunate young man was brought into the house. Additione] surgical hclg was im- mediately sent for, and the work of drossing the wound zitended to. As was stated sbove, Mr. Townsend was struck by three shots, two of which entered his Ieft arm just above the el- bow joint. An examination showed that the arm was badly cm}ledfimd quite a eumber of pieces of bone wera taken from the vicinity of the joint. This isa very scrious wound. The arm may have to be smputated, but at present the physicians are trying to save it. The other ball passed under the left shoulder-blade, and up to midnight the physicians had not discovered its whereabouts. The orifice it made was probed several inches without reaching it. At present the physicians are uncertain whether it passed up the shoulder-blade and lodged, or whether it entered the chest, and, consequently the Iung. The gravity of the wound dc%ond:, to & great extent, upon the course taken by this shot. _ At 8 o'clock last night Mr. Townsend was de- lirious, and seemed to suffer much pain. He moved uneasily zbout the bed, raving sboat the events which had led to the deplorable traged of which he was tlie victim. Narcotics were ad- ministered cautiously, and at 10 o'clack he was sleeping. At1 o'clock this morning he was still asleop, and calm, and scemed to be domg well. As there had not been any hemorrhage through the ligs, the physicians were hopeful thatthe ghot had not passed through the lung. Assoon es the fact of the duel had become well established, a warrant for the arrest of Houston T. Force was issued by Justice Sas- seen, and a party of officers sent to search for him. Several policemen were slso sent to guard the residence of Mr. Forcs, on Mitchell street, with orders to take himinto custody if he attempted to enter or leavo the building. “Upto midnight no errest had been made. Rumors of & conflioting character were carrent. 1t was re- ported that Mr. Force had left the city immedi- stely after bringing Mr. Townsend into town, while another report was to the effect that he was at his residence. A CARD TO THE PUBLIC. Ia order that the public may be correctly in- formed, we desire to say, in justice to ourselves, that we know nothing of the duel that came off botwoen Mr. J, H. Townsend and Houston Force, on yesterday, until after its occurrence, and had no connection whatever with it, having supposed that Mr. Townsend would not fight a party who had been posted byhis principal. Re- epectfully, Warrace HASEELYL, Josepn H. Sarrm. A FEMALE POiSONER. An Extraordinary Story of Crime, An almost incredibls story is told in the AMan- chesler Quardian of Oct 4.~ It is in the form of an official report a8 to the anteccdents of the womsn Cotton, who is in custody in Durham jail, charged with poisoning. Tho report had been forwarded by Lolica Suporintendent Hone derson to the Homo Sceretary, fo support the ;ppfic&finn for an order for further exhumdtions. t 628 : *Mary Ann Cotton was born in the year 1832, ot Murton Oolliery, neer Seaham Herbor. $he bocemo acquainted with a man numed William Mowbray, s laborer residing at Murton Colliery, but & native of Peterborough. Theywere short- ly afterward merried at St. Andrew's C!.\mcl:i Neweastle-on-Tyne, 2nd left the neighborhoo and went to resids at Plymouth, and afterward et various pleces in tho South of England, and thea returned to South Hetton, after an absence of five years from that part of the country. On their return the prisoner stated that ehe had four children while awey, but they bed all died. On the 24thof June, 1960, they had a child died, named Mary Ang, four vears ofage. Mr. Brosdbent, surgéon at Souih Het- ton, says ehe died of gastric fever. Shortly after this Mowbrayand ths prisoner, with their children, went to live at Hendon. On the 22d of Beptember, 1864, a son, named John Robert Wil- liam, about one year old, died, and on the 2d of May, 1865, & daughter, named Dlary Jano, died. The two last-named were attended in their ill- ness by Mr. Gammage, surgeon, Sunderland, and he states that they both died of gastrio fever. The decensed William Mowbray and his family were all insured in the British and Prudential Insurance Office, and on the death of her husband, the prisoner got £85 =nd some smaller smounts on the death of the children. She then obtained a situation in the old_infirmary st Sunderland, and thera remained sbout eix months, when she Dbecame scquaintedwith an inmate named George Ward. He married her, and they went to reside in Grey street, Sunderland, where he died on the 21t of October, 1865, aged 83. IIr. Gam- mage attended him, and, although he wasan ailing man, ke considered that he droppod off very suddenly. The prisoner then obtuined a situation as housekeeper to James Robinson, o foreman in a ship-building yard at Pallion. In June, 1867, he married her, and they con- tinued fo resido together at Pallion. When Robinson married the priscner he was a widower with five children, and the prisoner had one little girl about 9 years of age. She lived . with Robinson until the latter part of December, 1867, and during that time there died in his house John Robinson, 10 months old the 4th of Januery, 1867 ; James Robinson, 6 years old the 7th of April, 1867 aboth Robingon, 8 years old the 13th' of April, 1867; Elizaboth Mowbray; 9 vears old the 2d of May, 1867 ; and Margsre: TRobinson, $ years old in December, 1867. Alr. Gemmage aftended E. Mowbray, and bhe states ghe died of gastric fever. Mr. Shaw, surgeon, Deptford, attended the Robinsons, and he slates they died of gestrio fover. It is stated above thet the prisoner lived with Robinson until the latter part of Deccmber, 1867. About this time he had found out that she had involved him in gbout £60 debt, besides pledging his clothes and disposing of his household liuen and goods. She hm? also charge of his bank book and bumlding gociety book, and he also found that she had wasted upward of £50, and entered eums in the building society book which she never paid in. Robinson’s sisters also begau to talk about the deaths of the children, and told him they had been poisoned. Robinson taxed her with her dishonesty, and gaid what he had heard about the children's deaths was going to be true. After Robineon left the house that day, sho dressed herself, and took one of her children, about 18 months old, and went out, and he has never scen her since. She left the child in the streot with a person till she went to post a letter, but she never returned, and Robinson did not re- cover his child for some time, when he found it in s wretched state. He states that he now feels convinced that his children were poisoned. He suspected 8o at the time, 'but he did not like his mind to dwell on the subject. They were healthy and strorif, and only ill & few days be- fore they died. He noticed whenover she gave them enything they vomited, and were sick and purgod. His sisters have talked to him both then and since about the deaths of the children. On reading the West Auckland poiconing case in the papers, they have stated to him that thet was the way his children went. One of them -handed a paper to Lim, and said, ‘That is thy Mary Ann {hat has been doing that,’ little thinking at the time that the person accusoed of the West Auckland pois- onings was the very woman they wore talking rbout. Robinson said she often wanted him to ct hig life and the lives of the remaining .chil- Sfon insuted, and ono day ho found Bet ab an ofiice ‘trying to effect an insur- ance. He forbade her doing 80, and gaid he would not pay a penny. The aroused his suspicion about the children who had died, and he determined not to have his life insured. After the prisoner's father's death, Bor mother was martied to 8 man named Robert Stott, who is now living at Seaton Colliory. Mrs. Stott, the prisoner's mother, died the 9th of June, 1866, eged 54 years, and was buried at Old Beaham. She died very suddenly sfter tho prisoner came. The prisoner, after absconding from the house of her husband, is found wan- doring about Sunderlaud, Seaham Harbor, Tyne- mont, snd Newcastle, until July 7, 1570, when she obtained 2 situation as house- keeper to Frederick Cotton, a pitman re- siding at Walbottle, Northumberland. Tn October.of the same year, he married her ab St. Andrew’s Church, Neweastle, in the name of Mary Ann Mowbray. When sho was residing at Walbottlo, & number of fat pigs died, and, for ‘some reason or other, she was suspected, and tho place became 50 hot they were obliged 'to leave it, and they came toreside at West Auckland. At that time the family consisted of herself, Trederick Cotton, her husband, Frederick Cot- ton, step-son, 9 years; Charles Edward Cotton, step-son, 6 years; Robert Robson Cotton, son, 14 monthe; who have all died, as well as a lodger named Jogeph Nattrass. The prisoner herself states that, while ghe was in the south of Eng- land, she Had four children by Mowbray, all of whom had died.” _———— The Face of a Dead Woman Eaten 3 Away by Norway Rats., From the Memphia Avdlanche, Oct, 16, Yesterday morning the patrolman on the beat nexar the corner of DeSoto and Gayoso streets, was notified by & negro woman of the finding of the .body of & ‘wlite womsn named Anmnie Kountz in & building a few doors distant. Ac- comg?med by thé negress, who is named Hes- ter Lundy, the officer promptly visited the house. It was an old shanty, weather-beaten and worn, with rough boards. nailed over the windows, and the one door slightly ajar, as it had been left by Hester o few minutes previous. When the officer arrived there was s crowd of & dozen or more blacks gathered in a gemi-circle around the body, which lay upon an old hay mattress that was stretched on the dirty, greasy floor. _ An old, coerse army blanket was own over the body, extendidg up tothe broast. It was & horribly revolting sight that met the officer's ifle 48 the crowd parted to allow of his seeing the dead woman. Both eyes, the nose, entire left and part of the right cheek weregone. The flesh had been eaten away, as the bones sur- rounding the eyes and the nasel cartilage were cleaned completely. The portion of flesh left on the right cheek was ragged, while imprints of 8 mall, sharp-set teeth could be plainly seen. The very horridness of the sight rendored it fas- cinating, and tho_officer stood for a moment fairly spell-bound with terror. Some huge Nor- way rate that, despite the crowd, peered out, while ono more bold than the rest ran across the floor, furnished an_explanation of the terrible sight. They were the ghouls that feasted on the dead. The Coroner’s jury brought in a_verdict of “ Death from exposure, drink, and starvation {from inability to eat.” —_— GEORGIA.

HARDEMAY, JR. Chairman State Dem. Ex. Com. e e The Presidential Campaign and the Indcpendent Press. From the Cincinnati Commercial. ‘The story that the stockholders of the New York Tribune are dissatisfied with Horaco Gree- ley and Whitelaw Reid, and propose to dis- charge them soon after the November election, i one of the most absurd of the recent efforts of that portion of the press that confounds patriot- ism with loyalty to th%pcrsan and championsbip of the protennions of U. S. Grant. Wo happen to know that business of the Tribune is 05 good as usual. One of the charges Mr. Groeley has es- caped hsa been that of running for the Prosi- dency in order_to make money out of the noto- riety his candidacy would give his nowspapers; and we believe that it has not been alleged that he had mercensry views in teking the popular side of politics in' Now York City; but it ia true that, though Mr. Greeley has nhot been the editor of the ZTribune this summer, there has been an extraordipary demand for it in the South, ind'at the New York news-stands, and o the cars; 'end true, also, that Mr. Gree- ley’s vchement assaults upon those who have been, in his judgment, the opponents of healthy public progress and the enemies of eociaty, has in time past limited both the circulation and ad- vertiging business of the Tribune. It does not, looking at the matter in o business point of view, seem an unwarranted presumption, that the Tribune's release from party fotters will speedily prove of advantage to the stockholders. They Liave nothing to complain of as the case stands, and reason to expect great gains, Thoso who are chuckling over the notion that Mr. Greeloy will suffor in purse or spirit on ac- count of his recent course, must be wholly ignorant of the character and strongth of tho man. He has always disregarded money consid- erations. His poclet nerve is not at all sensitive. He signed the bail-bond of Jeff. Davia, lmowinfi that the act would spoil ‘the eale of his bool on the war; but, fooling that he was right, ho gave no thought to the effect upon his book or Lis newspaper. The idea of the stockholders of the Tribune declining to re-elect Horaco Greoley oditor, in case ho is not'elected Presi- dent, may pleasie & few Lorsoy people, and may %oss:bly bo entertained temporaily by rural ogtrasters and the editors of country newspa- pers, but there has not been any such meeting of tho_stockholdors as hes been recently report- ed, and, if there bad been, three-fourths of the stock is held by tho enthusiastic personal and political friends of the old editor. The only holder of stock whois on the other gide, is tho Cherry Pectoral man, Dr. Ayer, who, a few weeks since, sought the regular Republican nomination in the I'ifth Massachusetts Congres- sional District, Samuel” Sinclair, Whitelaw Reid, Oliver Johnson, Theodore Tilton, Bayard Taylor, and the foreman and pressman in the Tyibune office, holding o large majority of the stock, have been among the most strentons sup- porters of Mr, Greeley, and would regard an insult {:o Lhim g8 an affront to themselves, and a (;m‘:x;tonune of his as a personal calamity of their But suppose a majority of tho stockholders of the Tribune should mfia up_their minds that they could be hotter eerved by new editors,— thet the thing to do is to enter upon a compe- tition with the Times for the position of New York organ of Grant,—what would be the result ? The Tribune is rogarded worth a million dollars, exclusive of real estate. Two-thirds of this sum is represented in tho single article of good-will, and Mr, Greeley, while living, embodies tho grenter part of that, Ho owns iut one-tenth of the stock in the Tribune, but, if rojected bi the stockholders, he could in three months-establish a paper of which he might be sole proprietor, that would bo worth ene-half the present valus of the Tf:ibune. Heis well and hardy, and has ten years’ hard work in him yet, If turned out of the Tribune, he would_still have a chenceto become a millionairs, If he twere not & phil- osopher, and could not be President, and if he could be brought to bestow upon himself & share of tho concern that he has given others, we would wish him the joy and the luck of a quar- rel with his stockholders, Mr. Whitelaw Reid's position has this summer been & most delicate and haragsing one. It is not at any time, we presume, an easy task to recoucile the views of the stockholders of 2 daily newepaper, end regulete them according to the idiosyncracies of a portentous personality like that of Mr: Grecley, and we should not talke the editori#l management of the New York ZTribune to be lying on_a bed of roses, or pressing & downy pillow. With the old editor a candidats” for the Presidency, of course difticulties multi- ply, but through his remarkable campsign the Tribune has certeinly not lost ground as o bold and vigorons journal, and it has gained reputa- tion as & comprehensive newspaper. 'There has been in the Grant papers, and among the orators of that party, a fearful outeryabont the Tribune's slanders; but wo_have noticed that the sori of slander ' s politician dislikes - particularly is thet which is true, nnd we suspect thot the ZTribune slanders have derived thoir terrors chiefly from the truth they have contained. If we may judge of the effect of Mr. Reid's Iabors by the amount of the fire that he has drawn from the President’s party, we will find that his distinction is great, for Do ome, with the exception of Greeley himself, has been 80 conspicuously lampooned and caricatured. The managers of political organizations have for some years been in distress because they could not control all the newspapers. That there should be journals actually: indflgsndeut of the favors and regardless of the hostility of pol- iticians is a peculiarity of the times very painfal to many of the class of persons of whom we are in the habit of speaking derisively as ‘ great American statesmen.” ~ And these great men have been slow to comprehend the fact. The President’s partisans have been no less aston- ished than indignant to ascortain that the New York Tribune, Springfield Republican, CHI0AGO Trisuxe, Cincinnati Commercial, would not be =nd.could not be coaxed or whipped into the party traces. After exhaust- ing alile the arts of persuasion and coercion, and expostulating and threatening, and warning us of the wrath to come, allin vain, they are not quite prugamd to see that their hostility is foolishness. So they Lave comforted them- selves with the circulation of rumors, that the joyrnels that dared to be candid, truthfal, and ZaBnral to conviotion, fhough their condustors yoro soparated from old political associstes, have hed to endure crushing losses as the price of the vindication of their independence. ‘I'hey lave, no doubt, been surgrisod that papers hore- tofore clagsed as Republican have dared to op- ose the re-election of Grant, and yot have ived. These people Lave yet much to learn in Tespect to the press; and when they see, as they certainly will, that the journals that have in this campaign fought on their own hook, will come out strengthened, even if they should be on the losing side, the lesson will be plain, and perhaps of public utility. —_— A QUESTION OF TITLE.

From the St. Louis Times, Oct. 19, The citizens of Last Louis are considora- bly agitated over a discovery recently made, which is likely to not only affect the title to a large emount of the real estate of that place, but also to exercise no littlo intluence on the future destiny of that rising city. Measars. W. H. Aepiuwall, Snmuel 31 L. Bar- 1ow, Henry Chauncey, Frederick Chauncey and Joseph W. Alsop, of Now York City, and Hart- ford, Conn., and Samuel Gery, of Elis city, who probably represent as much capital as any other gix men that conuld bo nsmed in the United Statos, have, for a number of vears past, claimed tho title to, and exercised exclusive control over, a large amount of real estate in East St. Louis, comprising lots within, and farming lands an other eligible property outside of thie city limits. Several years ago snrveys wore made and cer- tain tracts added to tho . city, and these were agein divided into lots, & hri;e number of which have been sold or loased on long terms to bona jide rosidents. Warrantes decda were given, ond almost all the purchasers have mado sub- stantial improvements on their respective lots. In fact, we believe some of the costlisst build: ings in'the city have been erccted on property thus acquired. Until the yoar 1869, all the conveyances were oxecuted by the individual ownera and the wives of such of them as were married, but finding that it was inconvenient to make transfers in that way, theso gentlemen applied to the Legis- Iature of Illinois for o charter of incorporation, in order to facilitate the transaction of ibeir business. If we remember rightly, tie special Dbill of incorporation passed both branches of the Legisluture, but was vetoed by Governor Palmer, on the grounds that it affccted too much property, and conferred too much porer upon a monopoly, which, if it felt so dis- posed, could cripple the industry and retard the owth of East St. Louis. The rction of the overnor was fully approved by the municipal- ity of East St. Louis, which claimed that almost every ordinance Enased by the City Council, looking toward, the improvomont of the city, would be contested by this powerfal corporation and its legality tested in the courts, theroby en- taili: rrg great expense on tho city, and otherwise interfering with its advancement. Not daunted by this defeat, however, the com- bination turned their attention towards the East for the consummation of their project. What Illinos hed refased to grant, Connecticut fully supplied. In 2 short time afterwards the ra- g\u'md charter was obtained at Hartford, and in eptomber, 1869, a formal conveyance was filed for record in the Recorder’s oftice at Belleville, in which the corporators above named transfer- red all their right, title, and interest to the real estate in St. Clair County to the corporation known and doslijgnnicd as the * Connecticut Land Company" ~ Under this corporato pamoa lergo number of lots have been sold by the Compeny, and valuable improvements have been made on the same b{; the purchasers. Among the others, tho city of East St. Louis, & yonr or two ago, effected a purchase of fifty by oue hundred and forty feet on Third stroet, be- tween Brondway and Missouri avenue, intending it as a site for a jail, and received a warranty deod therefor. To & portion of this properteo, however, Mr. J. B. Carroll claims title by virtue of being a squatter. He denies the title of the Connecticut Land Compunfi', and, to fortify his Tight in the premises, bus taken possession of the disputed territory, on which he is now erecting & building. A suit in ejectment Las been com- menced by the city to oust Lim, and the title to the property will be adjudicated by the courts. We are not fully advised as to tho channel through which the Land Company derives its title, but assuming their right to the same to ba inde- feasible, the farther question presents itself for consideration, whother or not the Connecticut Land Company, heing a foreign corporation, has a legnl existence in Illinoiz?” Undor the law of that Stato they cunnot exist s _a legal corpor tion for the purpore for which thoy are organiz- ed, without the consent of the Legisiature, and this they failed to obtain before the adoption of the Constitution of 1870, which cxpressly forbids any action upon such subjects by the Legisla-~ ture. i If, therefore, the Connecticut Land Company has no legal existenco in Illinois, every deed executed by it sincs their incorporation I8 null and void; and if their titles are defective, can tho corporators in their individusl character be held responsiblo upon their wairanties? These queries naturally occur in connection with this subject, and the people interested will watch for the final result with a great deal of eolici- tude. An agreed case has boen determinod on, between the aiifi and Mr. Carroll, through their sttorneys, which will be submitted to Judge Gillespie at the forthcoming term of the Circuit Court for'adjudication., The value of the property involved is at least £500,000. A Question of Etiquette. The Patrie gives the following curious detail f Northern etiquette: ¢ The Emperor Will- am,” it says, “is sbout to return the visits of the sovereigns of Russinand Austria, and amon; the questions of atiquet(e there is one in whicl allare notagreed, When the Czar arrived at Ber- lin the Prussian officers were admitted to kiss hig hand, according to & very ancient custom. The Court of Berlin wished to establish a reciprocity in respect to tho Emperor Williem wkhon he shall visit Sf. Petorsburg, but the Russian ofi- cers refuse in the most nbsolute manner. In that Empire the ceremony of kissing handa only tales place onco a year, and solely for the Em- press-Dowager and the reigning Empress, never for an Gmperor or any Prineo whatever.” — —Among the prominont aitractions of the Georgia State Fair, at Atlanta, were femalo trip- lets under one year of age, ‘bom _in Cherokeo County, and poetically nemed Cordelia, and Aurelia.
