O0STLY LITICATION ENDED ! Deoision of the Court in the Oliver-L Oase, ALLEGATIONS NOT FULLY SUSTAINED sing Conts of the Action to Be Divided Between | Both Parties to the Suit-Re. wult of Several Renl Estate Den Laxcons, June 26.-—[Special to Tnre Bee.] The somewhat celebrated suit wherein Henry Oliver sued his brother-in-law, J. ¥\ Lancing, for an aecounting, claiming that £50,000 was due him, was decided today Judge Hall, who found that Olive Lansing & Oliver formerly 1 Atlanta, Ga., ana having considerable money to invest relied upon the integrity nd honesty of his brother-in-law and sent 1t to him for investment in Lincoln prop- erty. In his complaint he charged that Jansing had taken advaatage of him by un- Joading upon him proverty of his own (Lan- sing's) at exorbitant prices,and had inother ways violated his trust. One of the trans- actions involved the transfor of some prop- erty on cast O street, in block nine, Kin- strect addition, and 1t about by a_number of complications. eourt found as follows: That Oliver came to Lincoln in 1891 and that prior to that time there was no dispute a8 to his ownership of block 9. In April, 1801, Oliver became interested in the opera house project and said to Lansing, who was slow about comiug into it, that he would build the opera house himscelf, but he would want Lansing to refund him the £16,000 paid for block 9. Lansing refused to do sv. Oli- ver suys that Lansing subscquently prom- fsed to trade back, but Lansing denied that he ever did. The court finds that in all of the testimony relative to conversations be- tweea the parties, Oliver docs not complain that Lansing deceived him in any particular. In May, 1802, Oliver wrote Lansing asking that block 9 be deeded back to Lansing, say- fng that he could not houd it as an invest- ment at Lansing's figures. Ho wanted the money turncd in as part pay for the lots on which the opera house is located for whieh he then owed Lansing. Meantime Oliver had mortgaged ten of the lots in block Y, some of them vithout Lansing’s consent, The court further holds that Oliver fully ratified the block 9 purchase. . In 1880 Lansing sold to Olivera twenty- five-foot lot on O street near Twentieth, and an adjoi lot for $1,700, having just pur- chasca the latter lot for $1,700, and failing to notify Oliver that $3,000 mate his own property. Oliver did not discover t until he had ‘sold the land. The court scts Lansing back somewhat on this sale by allowing him but §1,700 for his §,000, the same price as that paid for the adjoining lot. It also finds that Lansing = over- charged Oliver $100 for plumbing, but has from time to time fully inted for rents. The court, therefore, finds a balance due Lansing of 5 and gives judgment therefor, each party to pay half of the costs. About State Banks. The State Bunking board was in session this morning, The State bank of Suther- land, Lincoln county, was authorized to begin business on_thé 24th inst., with &,500 capital and K. C.

OPPOSITION TO A COMMITTEE REPORT Williamsport Will Bo the Scene of the Next Convention—Election of OMoers— Ald for Lincoln's Misstons— Closing Detul The closing day of the Lutheran mission- ary convention began yesterday morniog with the usual devotional exercises, conducted by Mrs. Diefendorf of Berno, N. Y. The first business taken up was the read- ing of @ letter from Mrs. A. L. Sadtler of Gunter, India. This was ono of the most complete and interesting letters upon the situation of the mission work in that far off land that has been read during the preseut convention. It was received with mavked interest by the convention. Miss Protsman of New York presented the report of tho spocial committeo appointed to report upon the work of the exccutive committee. The report was exhaustive and pointed. One item in the report stirred up considerablo discus- sion. Tt was the first real difiiculty that the convention has encountered and it came as a large majority of missionary troubles come, through the stress of financial needs and the inability of the various missionary organiza- tions to do all that they would like to do by way of assisting the struggling missions both at home and abroad. The committes recommended that the sum of 8,20 bo donated to the Grace Lutheran mission of Lincoln, Neb. This brought up an old mat- ter that hus casad 8 good doal of unploas. antness in the Lutheran church and in the Woman's Missionary society. Help for Lincoln Missions. It seems that soveral years ago the Woman's Missionary society agreed to give to St. Mark’s mission in Lincoln the sum of 500, but after vhe pledge had veen made iv was found that it would be necessary to organt econd mission at Lincoln. Then it was suegested by the Boardof Home Missions that the money ought to be divided between the two missions rather than to be all given to one. This practically agreed to, but not in a way that bound the Woman’s Missionary society in any way. The Board of Home Missions flnally took en- tire charge of St. Mark’s mission and released the Woma Missionary society from further responsibility in the matter so far as that church was con- cerned. The Woman's Home and IForeign Missionary society paid over one-half of the amount originally pledged to St. Mark's mis- sion, but the remuinder was never paid to either St. Mark’sor to Grace mission. When the recommendation of the committee was read it brought out a lengthy discussion, Some of the ladies held that the missionary society was under no_obligations whatever to pay this moncy to Grace mission. Whilo they would like to help the Lincoln mission they thought that it would be poor policy to bestow so much monoy upon one community when there were other bplaces that needed help just as badly and were just as worthy. Luther P. Ludden Explains, Rev. L. P. Ludden of Lincoln, pastor of Grace Mission church, was given an opnor- tunity to explain thesituation.and hedid so: § some length. Mrs. Badgely of New York and others were opposed to the idea of spending so much money in building.fine’ churches in the west whilo there were congrogations in tho ecast that were getting along with bare floors and tatterod walls. She knew a great many people in the east whose mssionary 2 beginning to 0oze out, $o to sj of this apparent extravagance in expending the money of the missionary socioty. After a long discussion, in which the best of spirit was shown from first o Jast, it was decided to lay the matter on the table until the after- noon meeting. The commiitee on revision of the consti- tution brought in a report that kept the con- vention busy until the noon recess. Several minor changes were made in_the constitu- tion, enlarging committees and defining the detils of business for the organization geu- erally. g Afternoon Session. The convention transacted an immense amount of business at the afternoon session. The committee qn books and literuture sub- mitted a report which was adopted. The mavter bearing upon the donation of funds for the Grace mission at Lincoln was taken from the table and referred back to the ox- ecutive committee with the recommendation that the missionary bourd of the church be requested to extend assistance. Dr. Day of Africa was called forward and was made a life mem| of the association. Mrs. Peters of St. Louis donated a pin which she wisted to have presented to M Day, of the African missionary. A col- lection was taken to accompuany” the pin, The gift isa handsome ornument presented 10 Mrs. F s by a friend Europe and has a picture of Martin Luther in the set.

The committee on resolutions brought in a series of resolution aining to the work of the assc nking Mrs. Presi- dent Hunter for the fairand acceptable man- wer in which sho had presided.

McK. ISasterday of Lincolr, Neb., conducted a bible reading that proved to bo very enjoyable to tho devout women of the convention. It was in reality a neat and touching little sermon based upon half a dozen texts. ‘The special victues of parental L ove, as exemplified n the proper teachitg of children, the virtue of patience and zeal for the Master's cause, and the necessity of ntaining a disposition of thankfulness to od for His manifold blessings were all vividly and pleasantly set forth by the graceful speaker. At the close of tho bible reading President Hunter spoke a few fitting words in which she returned tha to the ladies of the con- tion for tho courtesy with which they had recognized her all the way through the convention. She also expressed her special pleasure over the kindness that had been ox- tended by the people of Omaha, and espe- cially the pastor and members of the Kountze Memorial church, toward herself and all the members of the convention. After taking up a collection for the pur- pose of swelling the amount of money that 18 to accompany the pin the society is going to send to Mrs. Day, wife of the missionary to Africa, the members sang, *God Be With You Till.

Tt now develops that Miss Lizze Borden, the young woman who was recently tried . and acquitted on the charge of having mur- dered her father and stepmother, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Borden, at Fall River, Mass., at one timo a resident of Glenwood, Iu., and was quite well known in this city.

City Treasurer Bollm: yesterday received notice from Cleveland, O., that the $5,000 certified check of W. J. Hayes & Son, sent for collection, had gone to protest, the bank refusing to puy the same.

In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr. Farrell said that Cosgrove came into his office and abruptly introduced himself with the remark, “Well, 1 just guess I'll set you up.” Linquired in what way, and Cosgrove was going Lo assess the prop- hen aemanded to know, “How much is there in it for me Farrell's red hair at once began to got ex- cited and its owner ordered the assessor out of the oftice with o vigor that prompted im- mediate compliance.

Farrell has 1yd the matter before tho bourd of equalization and the caso will be heard next Thursday.
