It seems | striking him on both legs, breaking one and that Mosher sold the sald lot to the trustees of this church, they to pay for the same in certain payments, which they neglected to do. Mosher afterward quit-claim deeded the Iot to another party, and after several transfers it fell into the hands of Henry Mansfield, whose heirs are now seeking a to sell the church In satisfaction of the debt on the lot. The pleadings of the case are a mixed up affair, with a seemingly endless number of defendants, of which the entire board of trustees is named. The Cathedral Chapter of the diocese of Nebraska appears in th litigation, and for its separate answer alleges that the board of trustees who executed the contract sued on in the case under the terim: of which they purchased this lot had no authority to do so, and that it was done with- out their knowledge or consent of the chapter and claim that, while the chapter relinquishes all claim in the lot, the plain- tiff has no right whatever to foreclose on the church building, and asks for a reasonable amount of time in which to remove the church to another location. The plaintifis make an ailegation in which they assert that, among several otlier defendants, Louise P. Mosher (wife of Charfes W. Mosher) is made a party to the controversy for the sim- ple reason that she may be barred from all interests in the attempted foreclosure, and allege that she is entitied to none. Mr Mosher answers this petition and claims that the said Henry Mansfield was her father, and that she has an interest in the lot in contro- versy, and that he is entitled to a share of the proceeds of the forcclosure sale. In the meantime the members of the church are watching the mixed up controversy, patiently waiting to see whether their church will be sacrificed or no Frosts are greatly feared In this county While there are a_number of fields that are past all damage of this Kind, there are sev- eral fields throughout the county which, should frosts touch them In the next two or three weeks, would be ruined. Never in the history ©f the county did corn mature so rapidly as it has this year. Before the rains which have fallen so abundantly the past few days, most of the corn looked as if it would not yleld a bushel to the acre. How- ever, since that the same lias improved, and throughout York county there are some vers nice iooking flelds of corn that will make a tairly good yield should the frosts keep away. G.

The rest of us stood about with bated breaths, while the surgeons un- latched the lids of their instrument cases and moved a little nearer to the com- batante.” Here the vice president ceased speaking. He drew his left hand over his eyes, and with his right reached nervously for his glass and took a sip of wine. Then he turned and asked a waiter for a light for his cigar. While the vice president puffed at his weed the guests at the table sat in eager sllence, Every eye was fixed upor the face of the vice president. It was apparent he was struggling to control the emotions which this tragic tale of the past had roused, and no one spoke.

Thirty or forty senators and mem- bers of the house went down there by speeial train, and among us was Jim Belford, the red- headed represeptative from Co'orado. You all remember Jim; as good a fellow as ever lived and with but cne fault. On the way down Jim drank nothing but straight wh'sky. ‘It is the only drink for a gentleman,’ he declared; ‘none of your juleps or smashes or Rickeys for me.' * At Fredericksburg the citizens showed us what southern hospitality is.

Some one explained that he was back in Fredericksburg drinking juleps. Sure enough that is what we found him at when we re- turned to town. Then we spent three or fo:r days looking over the ground on which had been fought the battles of the Wilderness. But Jim was not with us. He was back in Fredericksburg drinking juleps, “When the traln startei for Washington we missed Belford again," continued the secre tary, “and the explanation was the sime.

A young newspaper man working his way east from Denver tells me of some amusing Incidents of his experience in a city which is one of Denver's rivals, relates Major Handy in the Times-Herald. The newspaper on which he worked was owned by an old fellow who had worked his way from poverty to proprietorship, and whose proprietorship of a newspaper was acquired under a mort- gago foreclosure. As soon as the 611 man got hold of the property he began to look around to find out where he could 8ave a few dollars in the running expenses. | Several weeks passed before he ventured A suggestion.

Not only have the Texas and Maine been delayed Ly this practice, but also the monitors, tha Terror, the Monadnock and the Puritan. All these ships ought to now be in commission and I have ordered thaf they be pushed to com- pletion. Precisely the same reasons which have operated to delay the building of ships at the navy yards naturally influences con- tractors. They are sometimes tempted to neglect government work and use part of the force on the government ships to do outside work as it comes in.” The secretary deprecates the practice which corgress has fallen into of relieving ship builders of penalties incurred. ““The con- tracts,” said he, “all provide penalties for failure to complete work on time. Penalties for delay have frequently been imposed upon contractors by the Navy department, but unfortunately congress has in almost every instance when it was asked relieved them of these penalties. The effect of such acts is necessarily demoralizing. It is to be hoped that penalties incurred in the future for de- lay will be allowed to stand.” In conclusion Mr. Herbert sald: “There fs really nothing abuut shin building that now renders it difficult in the United States. No good reasons can ba given why such ships authorized by congress should not be com- pleted with reasonable dispatch, and I am simply insisting on prompt compliance with contract obligations, We have already shown that we can build ships and guns equal to any in the world, and I hope our ship build- ers, who are now looking for contracts abroad, will demonstrate to the world that a ship can be built, not only as well, but as rapidly in the United States as anywhere In the world.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Acting S:cretary Hamlin, in response to an inquiry from thg auditor of the treasury, has decided that under section 4 of the act of June 10, 1890 importers in all cases are required to fur- nish collectors with proforma invoices, bills of statements so made, whether the value of the importation is more or less than $100. Hitherto this action has not been enforced in all cases. The acting secretary has also issued instructions to customs officials that hereafter no animals shall be permitted to be entered at any port of the United States without the deposit of the owner, importer, consignee or ag:nt of a sum sufficient to defray the expenses Incident to their quaran- tine or the filing with the collector of a certificate by the quarantine officer to ths effect that satisfactory arrangements have been made for the Keeping of the animals during the quarantine, Heretofore the de- partment has admitted cattle to entry and much annoyance has resulted from there having been no provision made for their maintenance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-~The pension ap- peal of John Godfrey has been rejected by Secretary Reynolds. Godfrey served in com- pany C of the Third Kansas volunteers, which was called into service by the governor of the stata. The secretary holds that no per- son other than the president of the United States has authority to call the militia of any state into the United States service and a militia organization called into service by other authority is not thereby in the service of the United States for pension- able purposes.

Whitney struck the city several days ago, woman came softly and waimly night air to his ears he returned much cordiality. The acquaintance thus be. gun_ripened rapidly and the two were soon the woman followed him or not While walking along he remembered that before going into the alley he had a pocket book in inside coat pocket and he fe't to discover if it was safe He found that it was gone. He returned to the place where e | had left the woman, but she had disappeared and the pocket was nowhere to be seen. He has no doubt that while he was en, ed with the woman she had robbed h though he had no knowledge of it. He is not able to give a good description of the woma and in fact is not sure t he would recog nize her again if he saw her and consequently there is little hope that he wiil recover his lost property. The pocketbook contained in the neighbor- hood of $100 in money and certificates of de posit aggregating $5,500 on Chattanooga banks, besides other papers. He will notify the banks by whom the certificatem were is sued today of his loss and will stop payment on them.
