And Without doubt the most. dangerous locailty, especially during dark and stormy nights, is thé crossing at the southwest corner of C and 7th, where the roadway from Yates’ corner 1s made up of ruts and mud puddles; no footway nor sum- clent lamplight; and, as the railroad hasen- croached on C street, the company should be com- pelled to construct secure footwalks and addi- Uonal lamplight at Yates’ corner, as also to cut their long trains between 6th, 7th and 9th streets.

The treaty of 1818 is just, exp and -suffictent. It simpiy forbids American Vi 1s from fishing within the ‘three-mnile limit, and from passing that Mmit except for certain specified purpases, Of Which the buying Of vait is not one. There is no room for discussion as to the intent of the treaty, except as to the ‘headland question,’ so-called—that shall the line defining the three-mile limit follow the sinu- osities of bays and inlets, or be drawn from head- land to headland so as to prevent fishing by Amer- sean vessels in partly land-locked waters? We hold tothe latter view, as did Daniel Webster. This position is maintained by the American seaboard states.” —— She Wants Her Alimony. A DIVORCED WIPE INDIGNANTLY PURSUES HER FORMER HUSBAND. Ed.

The same listless faces which have been present at the hearing of the hum-drum testimony as the case has dragged along were suddenly beaming with the livellest interest when during the day it became known that the stakes in the race were to be counted by hundreds of thousands instead of thousands. and the winning man would be enriched for life. The secretéd money bags of the miser had at last been found and a property of one-half a million hinged on the contest. It 1s rarely that a more romantic story 1s heard than that which was told to-day before the surrogate. Paine was a nephew of Robert ‘Treat Paine, who signed the Declaration of Inde- pendence—a member of one of Massachusetts’ old- est families, well bred and educated. On the 23d of December last he died in an attic on Bleecker street, half starved, half clothed and half crazy. He had been estranged from his family for years and Was burled almost by charity. He had lived nearly a quarter of a century by begging what he ate and what he wore, yet not very long before his death his brother, Robert. Treat Paine, of Boston, had said: “James ought to be worth $250,000 at the least in his own right. What has become of it?” ‘This question has puzzled many a head since, and this is what Charles F. Chickering, the plano manufacturer, answered to-day. ‘MR. CHICKERING'S NARRATIVE. Ex-Attorney General Leslie Russell, who, with ‘Theodore Swit, 1s conducting the case for the heirs at law, cunningly asked his opponent, Ex- Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, if he had any objections to the witness he was about to call, and was answered in the negative. Chicker- ing then lifted up a big bundle, which he ‘had been {etiously guarding on his knees, and walked up to ‘sworn, Puttimg the bundle down beside him, in response to Russell's bidding to tell what he had, he began his tale as follows: “I knew James Henry Paine for years before hedied. Iwas brought into communication with him through his love for music, He was an expert musical critic, and this poor old miser had at his tongue’s end'a wealth of inexhaustible information. But though I had heard that he was popularly supposed to have money hidden ‘away, I never really Knew anything about it. One day he came into my office with a bundle in his hand. This 1s the bundle,” polnting to the pack- age beside him. “It was abouf¥a foot long and six- or eight inches wide. It was wrapped up in an ordinary brown paper and tied with an ordinary string. On the outside was carefully bound an old green handkerchiet. He asked if he could leave 1t in my possession and I answered, *yes.” I told him I would put {t in iny safe. He objected to this and asked me if I had a private safe at_home which none of my émployees ever opened. I said, ‘yes,’ again, and he carelessly replied that he Would like me to place it there. “T took the bundle and locked it up, scarcely ever giving the matter a thought again. Once, Years afterward, I met him in the street, and we were talking about Von Bulow, the pianist, who had recently arrived in the country. Suddenly he interrupted me and asked me if that bundle was all right. I'said, *yes,’ and he didn’t allude to it again. in tact, { think he never spoke of it again during iis Ife.” WHAT THE GREEN BUNDLE CONTAINED. ‘The little old green bundle remained hidden in the safe gathering dust and forgotten for years. After the old man’s death Mr. Chickering remem- ered the package, and took it out of its place one day to see if it contained anything worth keeping. “Thad supposed it contained nothing more than some old mfusteal papers,” continued he, “and carelessly untied the sirlhg. ‘Tearing open one corner I caught sight of a roll of bank bilis. It seemed to me in The hasty glimpse I caught that they must amount to many thousands of dollars. I tied the handkerchief together quickly and: took the next train for Boston to see Robert ‘Treat Paine, whom I thought was the nearest ivi elative, He sald that there were nearer heirs w than he, {ind he named the Claggetts.

B.T. Wood, who for thirty Years was employed fa the Metropolitan bank. ‘He Temembered, he sald, as far back as 1861, when Paine had made a special deposit in the bank of $40,000, and had received the certificates that were aiterwards found in the handkerchief. They had beeu made payable to one of, the officers of the bank, as Palne did not wish his name to appear. £x-Gov. Chamberlain then said that in view of the day's disciosure he would apply to the court for an Increased bond on the part of the administra- tors commensurate with the estate itself. ‘The administrators have given bonds to the ainount Qf, $1,000 only. ‘The ease was then adjourned till londay.

Mrs. Helen Welch is a widow, with a bright boy of four years. After her husband's death she conducted his business, and her energy and beauty made her very popu- lar.
