These, it is possible, were made open and dedicated thoroughfares in 1852, and are therefore now public streets. Judge Ogden says, with relation to Broadway, that the owners at the foot of that street cannot be affected by a decree of his court, as they are not before it. It shown, however, that Broadway was in- cluded in the same category as that of the streets he specific- ally cites.” The Broadway title is now in litigation in the United States Circuit Court. * His Honor reasons that the retroactive effect of the Merritt compromise is such as to put into question the proposition whether the city owned the land that in 185 it declared to be | stre all along the south and west shores of the water fro When the Town Trustees that year opened these streets they did it upon the theory that the town owned the property, namely, as far out as the low-tide line.

The trophe was due to the explosion of several hundred cases of dynamite, which was stored in an underground chamber of the mine. Electric wires, connecting with the’ hoisting machinery, passed through the room in which this dynamite was stored, and it is supposed that these wires be- came crossed, thereby causing a fire which set off the dynamite. All of the killed and injured were qn the surface, most of them occupyving res- idences immediately over the underground workings of the mine..

King Victor Emmanuel will consuit | | with the' President of the Senate and | Chamber of Deputies and the various par- ty leaders to-day and to-morrow before | designating a new Premier. He is con- fronted with a task of great difficulty, FOR MY SON. owing to the chaotic conditions of the v Parliamentary parties. The majority, which defeated the Government yester- | day. consisted of a transitory coalition of the members of the. Right and Left, only | the Rudini group supporting the Govern- ment, the Socialists opposing the Cabinet | becatse they considered it not sufficiently liberal, while the Rightists accused it of lacking a coherent policy and yielding to the Socialists. The fall of the Ministry was thus due to diametrically opposed | reasons. Yesterday the coalition disap- peared immediately after the vote, the parties being bitterly antagonistic as re- gards a general policy. so the first Par- llamentary crists the new King has to solve appears to be a perfect Gordian knot. After the announcement of the resigna- tion of the Cabinet in the Senate and in the Chamber of Deputies the Chamber adjourned sine die. 2 | _The papers consider it probable that ! Signor Villa or Signor Saracco will be chosen to form the new Ministry. INHERITS THE WEALTH | OF MRS. OPPENHEIMER KANSAS CITY, Feb. 7.—If reports ba true John P.
