TitLzs By Possession. In the case of Niemann vs. Breck, Judge Cox has made an important ruling upon the ques- tion of title by possession. A purchaser at a chancery sale objected to a tax title and it was insisted that the title was good by reason of more than 20 years adverse possession as to which affidavits were submitted. but the court held that they were of no value unless coupled with positive proof that the op- eration of the statute of limitations had not been prevented by disabilities of ‘the parties entitled to the proprietory title.

Symons and Attorney Riddle are really anxious to remove obstructions from the sidewalks, why, in the name of sense, don’t they go for the projecting stopcock boxes? They are a thousand times worse obstructions than the carriage-blocks, and as the bulk of those that project were so set by the contrac- tors under the District authorities, it would seem to be their duty to have them fixed.

Policeman Easely, of the third precinet, yes- terday arrested a fourteen-year-old boy named James Goldsmith, and locked him up on com- plaint of his mother, who charged him with being an idle and incorrigible boy. James re- fused to work when his mother got him em- ployment in the navy-yard. He only went home when he got ready, and spent most of his time playing “crap” with colored boys. Being unable to do anything with him lis mother complained to the police and had him arrested. His mother is employed in the Navy depart- ment. Mrs. Goldsmith obtained an order from President Falls, of the board of trustees of the reform school, for her son’s admission to. that institution, and he was sent there to-day. A Tax Sale Suit.

The rock in the river, on which the schooner Concut struck last week, promises to afford a subject for discussion among river men for some time. Some of them have already taken objections to Col. Hains’ statement, printed in Tuesday's Stan, that the rock is 900 feet west of the city shore and ont of the way. Thos. M. Milstead, a well-known river pilot, was with the captain of the tug Zeta, which was towing the Conctit when she struck. He said to a Stan reporter to-day: “To claim that the rock is out of the channel and that the schooner struck it while headed out of her course is an injustice toa skillful pilot. That rock has not 17 feet of water on it, for the reason that as it was just high-tide when the vessel was goii up, and as she did not draw but 1 feet 8 inches, she could not have hit an obstruction with 17 feet of water over it. There was little or no wind at the time, so there ‘was no need of any precautions on the part of the crew to keep her in the teeth of the blow. The captain of Zeta was ee job when the accident occurred, swinging his tow pur- aren alittle to the westward of the channel, tending to let go the tow-line and then to get alongside, which is the usual custom. As this part of the river is considered perfectly safe for vessels of any draught he was surprised when the tow struck and the captain told him she was leaking. THE SURVEY. “He made a survey of the bottom at once and found the rock, or rocks, a little to the west of the center of the channel, with but 12 feet of water on it at half-tide. For at least a hundred feet west there was a uniform depth of 18 feet, and 20 feet to the eastward there was 27 feet, so that the vessel could easily have passed to either side with perfect safety. If there is any fault it is with the government survey, which, ba cost of time and money, ha: signally failed to locate and properly mark 80 dangerous an obstruction. During the low tides of spring and fall this rock is covered by less than 8 feet of water. Now that it has been found with no cost to the government I do not think it would be asking too much of the proper authorities to have it removed or uoyed.”” —— AN EXCITING ARREST. A Furniture Dealer and His Wife Clubbed by a Policeman. Some excitement was caused on 7th street, between M and N streets northwest, yesterday, when Policeman Ferguson arrested Hiram Svear, a second-hand furniture dealer. Spear was standing in front of his store when the po- liceman stopped and told him to remove some goods he had displayed on the sidewalk. Spear said that he was not going to remove his goods unless his neighbors were compelled to do so too, and, according to the officer's statement, made use of some vigorous language. where- upon the policeman grabbed Spear and placed him under arrest. Spear broke loose and ran into his store. The officer followed and a scuffle ensued, during which furniture and chinaware were scattered about the floor. The officer and prisoner FOUGHT THEIR WAY THROUGH THE STORE. Spear had struck the officer with a shovel and had thrown a washstand at him. The po- liceman used his club, which glanced from Mr. Spear’s head and descended upon the head of his wife, making a cut two or three inches long. During the melee the officer's whistle fell to the sidewalk and was picked up by a small boy, who blew it several times, attracting Sergeant Jones and Policeman Reilly, who assisted in taking Spear to the station. He left €20 col- lateral and was released. MR, SPEARS VERSION OF THE AFFAIR is altogether different from that of the officer. He claims that the policeman ill-treated his wife and he will probably swear out a warrant for the arrest of that officer. He alleges that his wife received not one, but several blows on the head from the baton, and her health being bad, he fears that the result of her injuries may prove serious. This morning, in the Police Court, Mr. Cahill cpeeen as Spear’s counsel, and at his request the case was continued until next Tuesday, placer. ermine THE COURTS.

The old project of a statue to Horace Greeley in Central park has been revived, after having been dormant since 1872. The original fund was started after his death and a considerable amount subscribed, but, as usual with such New York projects, the interest died out and it lapsed until about a year ago: when the print- ers and Greeley Post, G. A. R., began another fund. ‘Ihe two have been consolidated, and Mr. Alexander Doyle has been given the con- tract to furnish a bronze statue that will repre- sent the great editor in a sitting position. It willbe 18 feet high with the pedestal, and cost $25,000. Mr. Doyle is the sculptor of the bronze ‘equestrian statue of Albert Sydney Johnston at New Orleans, the memorial to John Howard Payne at Washington, the bronze statue of Robert E. Lee at New Orleans, the (ae statue of Peace at Yorktown. the ronze statue of Gen. Phillip Schuyler at Sara- toga, and the statue of Senator B. H. Hill, of Georgia. It is a striking comment onthe mu- tability of the world’s affairs that the Tribune has not a word about this projected statue. Gomtatesctaaline vl a thee, Gov. Lee states that there will probably be about £200,000 less paid in coupons for state taxes instead of $105,000 more this year than last, and that his crusade against the coupons has saved the state many thousands of dollars.

So be care- ful of whom you buy your Corsets and what styles you buy. Now, we carry eighty distinct styles, everycon- le shape, iu four different lengths, We can fit you, but if you are not accustomed to any particular make of Corset allow our ladies, who are competent, to advise you.
